Suicide Squad

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Yeah it won't be winning any Pulitzers, but it's good thematic reading for this game.

Rags would love the wizard Phaerun. He's like an evil Justin Case

Actually I have that series.

I agree with the above synopsis. It won't be winning any prizes, BUT partly that is because of all of the various authors writing the same characters. IMHO some do a much better job than others.

And yes, I DO like Phaerun. Smug little dark-elf-b@$^@#$. :)

Hmmm...
1d6

[roll]1d6[/roll]

[dice]1d6[/d1ce]

Substitute i for 1

ahhh...

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 = 15
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 6 = 13
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Take a mulligan. I don't see a lot of high rolls there

ok;

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 = 16
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 = 16
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10

Wow that's... I think I am going to rework my build. With scores this high I can fight along side my eidolon.

The Underdark is no place for wimps

A bossy melee summoner with a superiority complex... inspiration coming from Weiss Schnee or a rather darker version of her.

Oh, What level are we? and What method for HP or starting gear?

9th level. Max HP 1st level then roll after. 46K GP

HP
8d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 1, 2, 1, 6, 8) = 28

...
This dice roller is VERY swingy. All low or all high...
~sigh~
Sooo... yeah melee is not happening. I wonder if I can squeeze archery onto the build somehow.

How are you with custom magic items?

HP

8d8

Yeah I hate that roller sometimes. How about we do this folks: when you roll HP, reroll 1s and 2s?

How are you with custom magic items?

I'm a flexible GM

Rerolling 1s and 2s

5d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 7, 1) = 25

Last 1
1d8 ⇒ 2

Hmmm
1d8 ⇒ 3

Yeah I am having trouble finding my niche. :P

I have a few ideas, (Again, trying to play something other than a straight caster) but I can't seem to find my inspiration. The template to mold my PC from. ;P

Wherefore art thou my inspiration?!?!?!?

<.<

Riddick?

>.>

Rocket?

<.<

Moriarty? (per the new Sherlock series)

O.O

Ooo, maybe? 'The Prince of Thieves' from Hercules/Xena series? As played by Bruce Campbell? :)

How about a Hairy (Rocket), Riddick that is intelligent like Moriarty but he makes inappropriate comments like Bruce Campbell?

O.o

<Brain Explodey,... with awesomeness!> ;P

Make up a PC not based on an existing character?

Rerolls: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Ooh, 9 more HP! 84, woot.

How about a Hairy (Rocket), Riddick that is intelligent like Moriarty but he makes inappropriate comments like Bruce Campbell?

I play THAT for a dollar

RPGs will eat themselves

I dunno; I'd be interested to see what kind of original character would spring from Rags' brain... o_O

There are no original characters. Only variations on archetypes.

Sometimes I'd like to see that too. :)

Then I come back to my senses and remember that NO one is ready for THAT level of,... whatever I am! ;P

True in a sense.

Wait, did someone say BOMB?!?!

:)

<rushes to google the Alchemist class, then Investigator>

Maybe,... a Jeckll/Hyde/Holmes/Moriarty ?!?!?!

Depending upon which side is (currently) in control, he may be all about the mayhem, OR may try to stop the PC from doing whatever they were sent to do!

<_< >_> <Evil grin>

Sorry so slow,
Been busy at work, and fighting this cold (NOW graduated to Bronchitis) for over a week, Trying to keep up with the other threads,...

Working on it!
:)

That's OK. There hasn't been too much enthusiasm for this game yet. I'm still prepping, just waiting on the characters to make their appearance

Not sure where mine is at the start.

you will all be locked up and brought before a judge for sentencing

EDIT: Oops. the handler will be in the courtroom

Treppa, I am going to do a bit of one-on-one intro with you on the main page, since you are the handler. We'll get you settled in your role

Coo.

Can't speak for anyone else monkey, but I'm pretty sure the ENTHUSIASM is there,... it's the, you know, time and stuff. ;P

I'm enthusing all over the place!

I'm enthusing all over the place!

So hawt!

Out of curiosity. It seems as if Chandi is a bit disgusted with the duke. I'm just curious as to the character motivation for this reaction

Nope, didn't mean to convey that at all. The idea of being the keeper of a bunch of nasty, powerful criminals is rather disgusting, but she's fine with the duke. She quite approves of his sense of decency despite being in a high position, where so many are corrupted. She is personally a bit stiff and reserved, but not at all upset with the duke.

If I've been writing a bit short, it's to be sure Chandri doesn't take over the whole thing and we can get back to the nastay character introductions. ;)

Nice Intro Chandi ;)

Sigh, OK, As I've noted in the treehouse, I am leaving town in another day. (Daughter is a guest of honor for the premiere of 'The Mars Generation' at Sundance this Friday, big deal for her, very excited)

So, I've actually come up with a few ideas, (YAY!) The problem as noted previously, just can't decide which one to play! ;P
And I'm WAY too slow at creating PC's to make a version of all my choices and then pick one! ;P

So, what do we still need?
I saw Assassin/Ninja, Wiz, Summoner, an Antipaladin/Tank, and either a Cleric or Druid as healer, yes? (Besides our handler) :)

-I'm still on board for being the 'Master Thief' guy, Won't be the best combat help (still backstabby) but with the skills to get in and out of anywhere.

-Caster(s) seems covered, I'm considering an Alchemist for additional utility and the Jeckll/Hyde combat approach. (And bombs! C'mon!) ;)

-A reverse-Robin Hood/Zorro type, Likely ranger or similar. If we still need another line fighter?

As much as I like all of them, I seem to be leading towards the Master Thief. So I'll likely wade through my new 'Legendary Rogues' book and try to build him tomorrow. :)

That's fantastic about your daughter Rags. Is she in the documentary?

You should do a charming amoral Rogue. And always shoot stab first!

Oh yes, she is one of the Space Camp kids they focused on that week! :)
NETFLIX is actually flying us out so that she can attend! :)

Look for 'The Mars Generation' on Netflix in about 3+ months. (My daughter is the cute blond with the LONG blond hair) ;P

I am going for the amoral rogue. Charming,... I'll see what I can do. :)

Stab first always! (EDIT- He can wear a shirt that says so,...) ;P

FYI. I have been looking at the Rogue and the 'Legendary Rogue' book for a while now. WHY does it seem so complicated to me?!? O-o
(Maybe I'm over-complicating it? The Legendary book makes the Rogue abilities like trap sense and avoidance things that can be selected, like Investigator and Magus abilities)

I mean, I can wind my way through magic feats, spell selection and domain powers with out a hitch. WHY does this supposedly simple class seem suddenly so very complicated?!?

I suspect I am thinking too hard. (THAT'S something I never thought I'd be accused of!) ;P

Hey all, Pat has kindly invited me to join your game (well I semi kinda invited myself, but Pat allowed it). I have one dastardly melee based character close to finished and will post up soon.
