There’s a rumor going about that you are in need of a martial tank type?
What exactly do you have and what are the creation rules?
Any opinion on what would fit well or not?
I play in two games with Cordwin who asked me to come over, one of which had the same GM that I think you guys recently lost.
Would an Inquisitor in Heavy Armor work?
Ok, 2 traits? 1 from the campaign?
Starting gold?
Background Skills?

René the witch-that-no-one-knows-is-a-witch dotting in.
You also know me Shaeda. I'm wonderful bard who kind of does things sometimes.

Goodness! It seems I’m really among old friends!
lol
Having played with both Skarn and DM Variel, I highly recommend both. Either one would make a fine addition to the group.
Welcome Skarn!! Do you speak with a pirate accent as well? heheh
Thanks!
Not Pirate, Scottish! All dwarves are Scottish!
Cordwin isn't...maybe he got kicked off the isle? HEHE
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
At the risk of offending my fellow dwarf and hafling compatriot, Cordwin is an educated dwarf. That is what happens when you can't succeed at dwarven wargames and books are your only friends. {sheds tear}.
So you’re the Rudolph of Dwarves?
haha land of misfits!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Exactly! All he needs to do is hang around with an elf cleric (Dentist!) named Hermey, a human ranger named Yukon, a dire ape animal companion (Bumble) and he would be all set!
good luck all
Aww, Cordwin. *Hugs*
Thank you DM Variel
We’re just kibitzing until you move us along.
I was particularly proud of Skarn’s introductory conversation though. You know, you learn who the character is yourself as you play them.
Plus, I love the joke about Dwarves having a formula for calculating “human years.”
The age old question:does the Rogue go first? Errr, the archaeologist I mean.
A Dwarf Archaeologist though, free perception checks for stonework and stuff! Genius idea!
As an aside, I have 30’ speed, which makes me a speedy tank, and I can pump that up if needed.
Place me where ever you want guys, This was your group before I got here.
Tylur willingly gives up the responsibility of being in front. Single file go Cordwin, Skarn, Tylur, Aurora and René. Tylur wont mind middle duty having encountered the poison of the Runelord spawn and Tsuto's fists he already has hesitation about being down here.

Works for me. René likes sticking to the back, both in the hopes of living longer and because he mostly just points and mocks the enemies to distract them/cover his hexing ability.
I am squishy and suck in melee so the back is always preferable. Aurora was built to heal and occasionally do some blasting things.
GM Red, thank you for taking over this game. Good luck and good gaming to you and the folks,
-- david
Cordwin is also squishy but he's just so dang curious!
yup we found that book...stole it from Tsuto and ran like the Dickens! thanks for recap :]
What check do you want for the star thing?
Also Skarn you are adorable!
Also Skarn you are adorable!
More, or less adorable than Shaeda?
Either way, coming from a particular one of Death’s apprentices, that means the world!
different kind of adorable. Sheada is a pirate priestess of sexness. Skarm is a bit obsessed about booze, he is rather tunnel visioned. Hehe, see what I did there ;)
....
I am sorry I have not had enough sleep.
GM - In Gods and Magic most of the deities have some colorful clarifications for spellcasters related to specific spells. Bards of Sarenrae can cast flame blade being one of my favorite examples.
Anyways, Inqusitors didn’t exist when that book came out, but we do now!
For Clerics of Cayden - lTheir create water spell can create ale or wine (1 cup per level), and their create food and water spell can be used to make ale or wine rather than water (which spoils at the same rate the food does).”
There’s other stuff in there for Bards, but all I care about is, can I, As an Inquisitor of Cayden, who has create water, on my list and selected, use it like a Cleric and make ale or wine? Frankly, I’m more concerned with ale/beer, but I do understand that Cayden wasn’t a Dwarf, hahaha.
And if so, how “good” is it? I figure an untrained noob with a 10 INT/WIS and a book (+2) could take 10 and make beer of quality “12.” Can I roll, or take 10, when making beer, and that relate to just how tasty it is?
Thanks! It is a “roleplaying” game after all.
Cordwin is going to think all of my PCs are party animals though. In my defense, it was Kit that got Iskender into drinking mode.
GM - question, soooo, if I assume, and I like to be an optimist, that this game stays together to 11th level, I won’t want to to be wearing heavy armor, because of the Inquisitor’s Stalwart ability. Mind if I swap out my Heavy Armor proficiency (and my Heavy Armor)? I believe my AC will be unchanged at this time.

Ah! You wouldn't be the first soul Kit would have corrupted! I am sure him and Skarn would get along famously!
Brilliant! This will be fun to watch unfold :D
Also I realize I have made a character that is kind of a party animal. I may have to fix that at some point.
So what I'm hearing is if we survive Tsuto, we're having a big celebration to replace whatever festival it was that got interrupted by goblins before I joined, y/y?
Anyone heard anything from the GM?
