Razor Coast Texas Style!

Game Master brvheart

Hope you feel better Jason.

Feel better now, just put me out of action this weekend :)

Emailed you to go over my stuff, still gotta throw together some equipment (10.5k wealth, 25% max one item right) and my appearance etc.

Let me attempt to roll HP without messing it up:
fighter HP: 1d10 ⇒ 9 and barb HP: 3d12 ⇒ (2, 6, 10) = 18.

I think we reroll 2s for barb HP? If so reroll 2: 1d12 ⇒ 5.

That is correct.

Let's move this to the discussion tab now. FYI, Leialoha will be back in a day or two so you will not be alone as a Tulita. I heard from him this morning. Still no work from Sandman.

Reopening Recruitment for Razor Coast Texas Style. Need one more player, 25 pt buy. Core races and campaign races only. Largely using Core classes, but others on a case by case basis if it suits the campaign.

Very interesting idea, What kind of character are you looking for? Your game thread appears to have five characters active: a wizard, cleric, bard, barbarian and swashbuckler. do you need anything specific?

I've always thought it would be interesting to play in a "Pirate" game, but I do not have any of the misc. books. I would want to play a "highlander" type, who backed the wrong political side back home and had to go on the run. you know, a couple of flintlock pistols and a basket hilt broad sword with targe and kilt. Of course it would be a black kilt.

That's is if what you need is a meat shield. The original Idea is a fighter, I think I would make him a ranger {trapper} to have more skills and go two-weapon fighting.

How long are you leaving the application process open?

What type of ship rules are you employing? Thinking of an illusionist wizard smuggler/pirate with a penchant for trickery.

The ship rules are from Fire As She Bears, but won't be on them too much. Just enough to get a taste of it. Haven't been able to get this group out of Port Shaw as of yet. A highlander should fit in nicely with Oro-Tu as our Barbarian. Natalie is a Swashbuckler so can fight some also. Classes are somewhat open as long as it fits in with the group. We lost our cleric a month ago and have the wizard doing a fill in as a halfling cleric. Viluki, you should get along with Silas then. He is a smuggler.

I don't have a set time for this, but don't want to take too long. Kind of til we find a good fit:) FYI, pistols are really cheap here 30-50 GP so you can buy a brace of them!

So an Inquisitor of Vanitthu, God of the Steadfast Guard, may be able to help out? Is D-Kal planning on staying a cleric or does he prefer the wizard role.

Could alter my highlander to have been a paly who backed the wrong side and became an Inquisitor @ level 2...actually that would work really well. So ex-paladin 1/Inquisitor of Vanitthu 4 0r 6, kilt wearing pistol waving country-less mean so and so Hmmmm Rob Roy meets Solomon Kane

are they starting at level 5 or level 7?

Are you doing "Character Wealth by Level" and how available are Magic items?

The new group is a bit less chaotic than the original, but still not one for lawful types. As for magical items, there is one reputable supplier in Port Shaw and he thusly charges a 20% upcharge from book. However starting gold is book and not based on that. And you would be starting at level 7. Whether D-Kal stays as cleric or goes back to wizard will probably depend on the new player. Leialoha has the wizard role covered. To be honest, the group would prefer Beth back but while she has had problems getting online access from France in the past, it has now been a month so I can only hold the spot so long.

To put in context Silas needled the last stick in the mud we had and we might get him back.

a couple of options, a couple of observations and a couple of questions

lets start with the questions: Are Archetypes ok? Are multiple archetypes ok as long as they don't overlap?

Starting gold would be 23,500 any price limit on one item? any limit on total magical items?

hit points all levels rolled or start first level at max and roll the rest?

It seems that Beth was working for the group. What things did Beth do that worked so well?

It seems like the group liked Beth, would you consider letting her come back with seven or would the group want to hire a mercenary who would work for them until her return? I would consider doing that if it fit

After looking at the character I want to create and the roles he could fill what I have started drawing up is a Level one fighter(unbreakable archetype)level six Inquisitor of Vanitthu {dual archetype:Sanctified slayer & Sin Eater)

Angus Black would be a 30 yr. old LN sword and board melee/healer of a "highland" background. His back story would be that he was a guard for nobility, the nobility was double crossed by their supporters. Angus swore revenge on the double crossing supporters. Now after their deaths he is a wanted man and has fled the country, traveling to Razor coast to start a new life. He would personally follow a code of conduct and regimented life style but would not expect others to do the same. How could he after all the things he has done.

I have the crunch almost done, waiting for the approval on the items available and the archetypes; he would work without them but I think he is more interesting with them.

Is there anyplace I can get information about the "razor coast" world so I can fill in the country details? If not I can make something up.

Archetypes are ok, but one per class please. HP max at level one, roll the rest re-rolling ones. Beth was a born leader who never wanted or accepted the role. She is a cleric of Quell and yes I will run with seven if she comes back. We had eight to start, two dropped rather quickly. Magic - no more than 20% on any one item. My house rules are post in Campaign info with some other campaign info. More to come. Think Port Royal but in Hawaii.

Thanks, for the quick response. I will drop "sanctified slayer" and keep "sin Eater" and will have him ready for application as soon as possible (probably 12 -16 hours).

If D-Kal wants to go back to his wizard we will need a cleric. Have not received a reply from him. If you are not from here, you don't know much. The elves settled the area first, but got too upity and were ousted by the local natives, the Tulita. Then came the colonials (think white British). They conquered the area and treat the Tulita as peons. It is periodic 1685 for reference. Gunpowder is common place and guns are cheap. Gentlemen wear rapiers.
Silas is the last of the original group with Beth.

Thanks, last question for a while, is Dual Talent ok?

I'm assuming the inquisitor could cover most of the cleric's role, if that is not the case let me know. Might be able to figure something out.

I'll stick with cleric unless Beth returns, then I'll probably yield the role.

I am not sure it is worth the cost. No hurry on it. I have two games to run ftf here in the next 24 hours and dealing with a dying mother.

The Razor Coast has drawn men to madness and slaughter since the world was young.
Tulita natives, born from the same fire as this jagged coast, claim the Razor existed long
before the world’s other lands. It is a crucible of flame cooled by the ocean’s caress and
its mountains, reefs, and lightless depths teem with as many terrors as lustrous spoils.
The Razor bucks the trappings of civilization in much the same manner the storm-tossed
sea spurns the men who dare mount her. This is no place for the weak-willed. Untested
souls are food for its storms, its fickle gods, its ancient spirits, and the evil predations of
unfathomable creatures. No less dangerous are the men who make the coast their home
and whose dark desires put most horrors to shame.
Every year another colony of hopeful settlers springs up, only to be silenced by the
unforgiving landscape or butchered by fearsome tribes of monsters lurking just beyond
the tree line. Yet still the colonists come in their hundreds, lured to the coast’s riches:
its kava, its jocas fruit and koa wood, to name but a few. All treasures worth twice their
weight in gold and all ripe for the picking along the Razor. Mossy placards emblazoned
with the bold names of these colonies’ founders are the only testament left to their brief,
prideful existence. The last chapter of their story is now told in dust and ash.
Port Shaw is the only survivor. The town clings to the coast like the sea’s most
stubborn barnacle, impossible to scrape from the Razor’s edge. At times it limps along,
vexed by demons, angry gods, cannibal tribes, dread pirate armadas and worse; but at
present the city thrives as foreign vessels flock to its harbor, their holds hungry for whale
oil and other treasures.
Port Shaw menaces and delights in equal extremes. Treasures and pleasures abound in
this whaling boomtown, but evil and abandon take almost every soul who comes her way.
This playground of pirates is ruled by the crushing fist of the Municipal Dragoons and
filled with both the ancient curses of the coast’s Tulita natives and dark secrets of its own.
It is an easy place to die, and a town where countless legends are born.

Still looking for one player for an existing campaign.

Sorry, I thought you had all of the candidates you needed. Yes, I would love to play. Is there any role that you need?

We lost our cleric and one of our wizards is subbing in one for his so the consensus is either another cleric or wizard type.

I've been trying to create a new alias and the system is not letting me, so here is the basics on the character Angus Black for your approval, I will continue trying to create an alias for him I have his background started I will continue working on it and post it with his alias

six levels of inquisitor hit points: 6d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 1, 8, 2, 5) = 27
re-role one's hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 2

I am going to leave this open for awhile as Paizo is having issues with creating new aliases.

@ brvheart, with you permission sir, I will wait to see if the voting goes more favorably before I make an alias for Angus, If anyone asks remember Rob Roy meets Solomon Kane...

I have not been able to make another alias either the last two days. Wanted to make some for NPCs.

Still looking for a cleric or wizard to join an ongoing Razor Coast game.

Would a Yohunga work? Or are you looking for more of a blaster?

We had a Yohunga earlier and he was working out pretty well until the player had to leave the game. Would be nice to see a Tiki back! Note, there is some errata for the class.

Tikiman Errata
Armor Class: A tikiman gains an additional natural armor class bonus equal to ½ the yohunga's class level rounded down.
Hit Dice: For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, a tikiman adds the yohunga's character level to its base Hit Dice.
Hit Points: In addition to own hit points, a tikiman gains a number of bonus hit points equal to half the yohunga's total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down.
Attacks: the tikiman adds the yohunga's base attack bonus (as calculated from all his classes) to all his attacks. Use the tikiman's Dexterity or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to calculate the tikiman's melee attack bonus with natural weapons.
Saving Throws: For each saving throw, the tikiman adds the yohunga's base saving throws as calculated from all his classes. The tikiman adds this bonus to its base save modifiers and uses its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn't share any of the other bonuses that the yohunga might have on saves.
So I posted some errata which will make the tikiman make a lot more sense. It should solve the whole, what powers do I want to add clause. What you'll see now is that a number of the powers work sort of like feats (because constructs can't have feats).
Repair Object spells work.
I haven't gotten around to making a range of repair object spells for the yohunga yet, but my intent was to make a set of repair spells that followed a progression similar to the cleric's cure spells.
And yep, they are constructs so you can repair them outside of combat.
As far as skills go, the Yohunga determines what skills are most appropriate for his tikimen, and as he progresses, he might want each of his tikimen to have a different skill set. It depends entirely on what the Yohunga has built the tikiman to do. So like a tikiman designed to be an assassin tiki might do a stealth build, while a tiki designed to be a jungle hunter/tracker might build on acrobatics, climb, or survival. That was supposed to be one of the perks, that you could build your tiki to suit your needs.

The above is from the designer of the class.

Is a Wizard what you want as far as arcane classes go, or are you open to other options? I have a summoner I could tweak for this.

Might do a sorcerer. Had back luck with summoners.

This is Ivar a Viking weapons-master, I play Naomi in brvheart's other pbp game

We lost one of our mages so are recruiting again. 7th level, 25 point buy. See campaign info for stat info and house rules.

Looks good from here. Have no problem with it.

Anyone that puts more muscle between Leialoha and the things he is blowing up are ok with me. Might be a little tension over another of them outsiders come to the Coast, but at least he isn't another collie. Maybe we'll have enough to create a proper rearguard.

I had a scrimshaw bruiser-mage in a short lived Razor Coast game.

Does that sound it might be a good fit for the party?

This is Brunner Hammerfell, brv thought he could catch the boat back and join you all while you help out the pseudo-dragon.

Due to losing a player due to RL we are once again recruiting to fill one spot.

Holy Molly, losing em left and right. I'll join your crew if yo permit me. What exactly are you looking for and what is the party composition?

I am going to leave a lot of input here to the players. Most things are covered. Just need one that fits in well with the group.

I might still be interested depending on what role(s) you guys need filled.

Party composition at the moment is

Silas - Sandman Bard 9
Leiahola - Wizard (Scrimshaw Fetishist) 8
Aurora - Cleric of Jaren Falkynjagger 7/Warpriest 1
Oro-Tu - Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 7 / Fighter (Unbreakable) 1
Uraisa - Urban Druid 8

We're currently trying to protect the people from Wereshark activity as well as uncovering a conspiracy that will put us against some of the local dignitaries.

In terms of roles that other role has been in the past been filled by another Cleric, various fighter types and previously other mages, but that was with slightly different party makeup.

Gonna take a guess to make the character up to lvl 8. What is the starting wealth?

WBL

I have an idea...

Male human (local) alchemist (chirurgeon) 5/barbarian 1
Wild haired uncouth country boy, likes mixing up bugs and weeds to simultaneously heal and disgust his teammates. Also likes setting things on fire.

Still working on a character, will be hopefully done soon.

If the spot is still open, there is a character concept I'd be very much interested in playing that I'd like to run by the players, at the DM's suggestion.

I'm thinking of playing the heir to Captain Aldrin Shaw, the founder of Port Shaw. Someone who sees the suffering that Port Shaw has brought to the Razor Coast and doesn't want Port Shaw as it is to be the Shaw family legacy, who wants to be able to say when he dies that the Shaws leave the Razor Coast better than they found it.

Do the other players feel a character like that would be a good fit for the group?

In terms of classes, my first choice is probably paladin. That said, if a paladin wouldn't mesh well with the group, I'm hardly married to it. A swashbuckler or possibly a gunslinger would be the classes I'd look to next, though I'm open to suggestions.

The firearms rules are game specific which makes rather problematic. Guns are cheap but only single shot flintlocks. The time frame is c1685 so while firearms where in common use, the rapier was the weapon of choice.
