I think Marshal only really helps with things like inspiration from bards and teamwork stuff from caviler. Though you get fun things like giving everyone a free movement or attacks. The power of telling others to do the work ;).
You should look at the Swordmaster archetype for Tengu rouges. You trade trap-sense for feats.

I'm not sure the GM would even let me take a different archetype when I leveled up. How would that even work? Would it be like choosing a new class, I guess? GM, what's your input?
Thoyoitu "The Tenguin" Choco-ku |
Do you mean I can switch archetypes right now, not before I level up? Also it'd make more sense just to treat selecting a new class archetype as selecting a new class rather than retraining...right?
GM Pyros |
I'm not really sure how you would select an archetype the same way you take new class levels...
Your class is rogue. If you want to be an archetype, then you would be some variety of rogue, be it Rake, Scout, Swordmaster, etc. You cannot take 2 levels in one archetype and 2 levels in a different archetype, as you would taking a class. Your Level would be Rogue (swordmaster) 3 If you wanted to have multiple archetypes, they would have to follow the rules for stacking archetypes, Like Pirate and Scout, which do not replace any of the same rogue features, in which case you would be Rogue (scout/pirate) 3. If you took no rogue levels, then they would be Rogue (Scout/Pirate) 3/Fighter 2 or something.
I am letting you add the Swordmaster archetype to your rogue class for free, if you want to. The only feature you already have that the archetype changes is a few class skills. If it were an archetype that replaced Trapfinding or Sneak Attack, then there would potentially be retraining, following the Retraining Rules.
so you can take the archetype, since it doesn't really change anything about your character yet.

I looked over it, and while it wouldn't be bad to have, as I don't use the skills it replaces and don't know if Trap Sense will be useful, I'm also not sure how useful these trances will be. I don't think I want something that provokes an AOO, can only be used for 7 rounds a day, and would fatigue me for 2-14 rounds afterwards. It'll only last a single combat, maybe two, but it just seems too risky to provoke an AOO then risk being fatigued in the middle of a battle. And not to mention the feats aren't really useful :/ But thanks anyway, Des, GM.

All Tengu are swordtrained by way of their racial trait, so you are proficient with all sword-like weaponry. Unless you took the the claw or exotic weapon racial traits. Please refer to link below about the racial capabilities of tengu.

Wait your actually players, I thought you guys were NPCs. Sweet, Welcome aboard guys.
@Thoy Yeah with finesse, shortsword will be better.
@GM Since I know whats going on now, can we make that scimitar into an back up weapon for Pyre.
Thoyoitu "The Tenguin" Choco-ku |
Thank god, this means they won't try to kill me as I suspected! Welcome, new players! As already explained, I'm the established leader of the party, but as you may have seen, I always ask for group input :)
Desula Val'kyerin |
Do note that Thoy's last group of follower are presumed dead due to tempest, or my working theory, bbq for this Khan. Tengu the tastiest of sentient races!
Does this Khan, with his rank higher than Colonel, have at least 20 secret herbs and spices?
GM Pyros |
the number of herbs is a secret, silly Desula.

Hello friends! My family celebrating the lunar new year, and as a result, i am visiting family overseas.My post rate might slow down so please bot me if needed.
Thoyoitu "The Tenguin" Choco-ku |
I'm caught up, but am having a busy week (only just caught up), but I should be able to react in combat if need be, just can't really do much RP until maybe Sunday or Monday. Sorry.
Kalagan Fiercefoe |
OK, I apparently misunderstood the Kilt. My last DM said it counted as medium for proficiency needs, but did not slow the character. If it does slow me, I don't want it. I hate decreased movement.
Thoyoitu "The Tenguin" Choco-ku |
I have to say: I don't really know what's going on. I had the same problem in a Rifts game I was in, once. I had a hard time keeping up with the flow of things. Even in a PbP. Mostly, I don't know who anyone is aside from the PCs? I'm not saying I'm quitting, I'm just trying to get everything together in my mind.
Okay, so we crashed on the island, got attacked, got some fish, all that good stuff. Then today (in-game), we explored and we followed some tracks. What happened after that? I don't want to reread all those pages, so if anyone remembers and could just catch me up, I'd appreciate it.
Also, who are we with? Is it someone we've met before? When did we meet them? Most importantly: Anyone from my ship (last I check, I was last in commmand)?
GM Pyros |
After Thoyoitu released the Pirate crew the ship crashed in a severe storm. The party was stranded on an island and was attacked by local aquatic fauna while they set up a simple camp finding the Priestess Pilot and Slaver from the crew of their ship
The party then went looking for other survivors and followed a trail from the beach and found the pirates Maria, Cody, and Squeak, and a Slave. Then you ran into the new players and they lead you to their people who were under attack.
Currently you have 4 people that Thoyoitu freed from the hold of the ship with you and the new player's followers with you, and Ros and the 3 survivors you already found are at the beach with several days worth of supplies.
I can update the information on the NPC's on the front page further to say who you've found and a little about them beyond race and attitude over the next couple days.

My school has organised a camp which unfortunately means that i will be unable to post anything for the next 3 days or so. form the 12th of march to the 14th of march. so feel free to bot victor if needed.

I was just preparing to do a sneak attack. I want to be as sneaky as possible when I lack spells and have a Constitution penalty. I did the math and you have more health than I do. You also possess spells. Only thing I can do special is sneak attack. That, and search for traps. Actually, I really should check that cave for traps...
But anyway, next time combat comes, I should already have my camouflage ready so I should be able to sneak attack. Also, while my AC is higher than yours, you have DR and I do not (kinda my fault for not having armor, though). So yeah, I'm really not a combat rogue, nor do I intend to become one. Sneak attack is about as useful as I'll get in combat.
