Summoning up Corrage (Inactive)

Game Master Johnny_Panic

Recruitment call for an ALL Summoner game - GM SpuglyFuglet

Hi All GM Spugly here with a another (could be) mad idea for a game.
Wanted
Players: 4 to 5 players.
Setting: Golariopedia (stranded)
Location: Nirmathas
Time: Just after its independence and formation.
Who are you: A newly formed troop of Summoner's in the rag tag army of what was Irgal Nirmath, now dead - Nirmathas, your new officer is one Sir Mirock Nobb, a clueless chinless wounder who spends most of his time in the officer mess drunk or playing cards badly.
Task: Keep Nirmathas free of course "Long Live Nirmathas!!" and "Viva la Revolution" etc.. Enemys about, it may seem like peace time but there are others seeking to take our great land of trees back.

Notes:
Its your 1st day in your new camp, you do not know each other all you know is they have made a troop of Summoners who will act as a unit under and well known (he did some thing brave once wile drunk) but also as well know 'useless' officer, why? you have no idea, its the army the high ups think of such things, poor troops just have to do them, mind you this is a free army you have a say, your not Cheliax for gods sake.

So if you think this sounds fun, and this will be a fest fun game, Im looking to keep things moving and get a post a day from all the players of I can. Note I will auto-bot your PC if its slowing game play. Maps will be simple, Im not map artist but they will I hope do the Job.

So things you need to know,
Im looking for simple built Alts.
Combat and stats at the top, Back story at the bottom, and also post that back,story here under a spoiler tag.

About me, I a old school GM, but no ball barker, I am dyslexic but if you can read and understand this post then, that's what my posts will be like. Rules wise I'm now export, if a mess up, pull me up on it. If you have a fall out with another player or me, take it to PM not on the threads, last of all Fun, its all about inventive fun, I love RP over rules and if the RP is good Ill bend even brake rules for the sake of Fun.

Bags the synthesist!

I'd like to go with a favorite of mine, Nathaniel; NG Half-Elf.

I'll tailor my level 3 character sheet to your game later.

Sounds awesome! I've wanted to play a Summoner for a while... I'll spin a few ideas around. I assume any archetypes for Summoner are allowed? How about Words of Power?

Dotting, have something tomorrow night, when I get back into town from holiday.

Question: if we take any Item Creation feats or other crafting stuff, can we use that and starting money to craft? How about spells?

Sounds like the perfect game to try out master summoner for the first time. Count me interested.

Read the PC making notes please,
DO NOT PUT YOUR ALIMENT ON YOUR PC OR ON HERE
Its to be kept secret until found out in game or not at all.

@Nathaniel, pick a new aliment sorry and PM it to me when you have your Alt up thanks. Also I may more than one of the same type of Summoner in the game so no bags types sorry.

@Loup Blanc, sorry not Item Creation feats or crafting stuff, yet maybe later.

Other than that all good so far, Remober your have to make Summoners fit the Normal rolls other classes would fit.

Rolling stats and risking it:

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Good roles and a Keeper I feel, whos next to risk it.

Just to give any one and Idea of the tone of the game, its dark comedy, more Dark than Comedic, Army life will do that.

You all start the game newly arrived in Camp Mirog or as its know to the Troops there, [Camp 'Bloody lost']

I of course as your new officer Sir Mirock Nobb, I will look after you men, yes some say I am a clueless chinless wounder who spends most of his time down the officer mess (if you can call a tent that) drinking and/or playing cards badly, But they would be wrong, NO I am a tactical Genius, who lets his men act on there own, wile he plans it all out in the officer mess. Of course playing cards is part of that, helps you think don't you know and don't expect pay this mouth, money is short after all. From time to time I will send you off on some simple no risk at all to your life jobs, simple in simple out kind of job thingys the high ups want doing. yes some jobs out in the woods full of evil things with sharp teeth, Enemy agents , deserter troops from the war, old devilish magic sites and of course the odd bandit or two or ten, and lets not talk about the nameless things as well as... sorry where was I, O yes!
So no worry's there then men, carry on.

:)
See you soon, GM Spugs

I have my character tentatively made but will not finalize until I can talk to other players so we can coordinate spell selection(summoners get so few known).

Never played a summoner, is that okay? if so I'll see what the dice give and let them decide if I stat up a character :)

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

HP Rolls...

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Lets let the dice decide this one. Summoner is my favorite class, so if the dice are kind to me, I'll make a character. I've always wanted to do an all summoner organization/party.

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

I think those'll do nicely. I'll have a synthesist up shortly, going for the sneaky character/skills role. Can we make custom races up to 11 RP?

Edit:
HP Rolls

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Cool all good, you brave lot, 1st timers are more than welcome.

Okay, here's my character, Angelo Fortunato.

Cool, going the rolling route. How long do you expect to keep recruitment open?

Ability Score Rolls

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

HP Rolls

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

We have a rather nice but limited spell list so we may need to split up who takes what spells so we all don't end up with the same 4 spells. Mage Armor of course is nice but hardly necessary for us all for example. Enlarge person and Infernal healing are both nice but have full round casting times and probally should be divided between two people(limited spells per day and all.)

HP rolls:

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

I should have made clear HP is
1st 8+dex mod +1d4 -1
2ed is 1d8 (or 4)+dex mod +1d4 -1
3ed is 1d8 (or 4)+dex mod +1d4 -1

Sorry should have said that, so take 4 or 1d8 role and add for 2ed and 3ed level.

Is the Wild Caller archetype compatible with Synthesist in your game?

I'm thinking first worlder. Have it made up this eve.

What is the cut-off time/date for this? I recently had an idea for a Synthesist Summoner concept that I found amusing (granted, the main thing I find amusing about Summoners in general is the RP potential in the relationship between the Summoner & the Eidolon, perhaps especially when the Eidolon is armor) I'm thinking Synthesist Summoner with a trap-breaker Rogue focus. I will have an actual application when I know the cut-off.

Recruitment will be closed at 0 hours GMT Saturday night guys

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

HP
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

i'll take that

Here's Loup again! I'll take the risk and roll stats and HP now...

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Alright, good stats! I'm going to do an idea I've had for a summoner for a bit and go with a halfling vanilla. Alias up when I can. Can I make a separate alias for the eidolon, or would you prefer I not?

EDIT: Rolling 2d8 for levels 2 and 3.

2d8 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13

Grey, the Lady's dog - I already submitted a rogueish synthesist. You can still go for it, but just letting you know there's competition for the sneaky synthesist who handles traps.

Hey its Hawkwen. Here's my entry.

Roidrage here and risking it!

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

This is the alias for Loup Blanc's submission! Haven't finished yet, but posting to let you know about it. Any word on alias for an eidolon or no?

Rolling for levels 2&3

2d8 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Grey, the Lady's dog - I already submitted a rogueish synthesist. You can still go for it, but just letting you know there's competition for the sneaky synthesist who handles traps.

Gah! The other thread I was interested in pretty much tossed out my character idea as well. Ah well, there will be other occasions.

You guys have fun, I think I'm gonna bow out.

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
1d8 + 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (8) + (3) - 1 = 10
1d8 + 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (6) + (1) - 1 = 6

I've been thinking I might go towards healer (focusing on eidolons, since we don't get clw), though healing several times in a day might be difficult. . . . Let me see what I can stat up.

Edit: Wow, Awesome rolls. That'll make it easier.

I'm a fan of the summoner class. I'll think up a concept and get back to you after some sleep.

Going to bow out -- I'd love to build a character with the stats I rolled, but going through Eidolon rules again I don't think I have the spare time to pound a decent enough character within the time limit :) goodluck everyone, have fun and I'm sure this game will be a wild ride!

Rolling for the eidolon's HP!
2d10 ⇒ (1, 9) = 10

"I see I may have a fellow halfling on this adventure! How fare you, Master Bodger?"

Very intested. Will have character posted by tonight. :)

After a slight nod Edge replies to Kearan, "Greetings to you as well Master Bywater. I'm well enough. What brings you to the fledgling nation of Nirmathas?"

The halfling shrugs. "I'm always looking for a new place to find friends and trouble. This seemed like as good a place as any." He laughs and winks.

Ooo sneaky game play before being picked, why you rascals you. :)

Let's see what I got to play with:

1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d12 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Pretty nice...Thinking about learning towards Both Summoner and Eidolon going melee. let's see...*Plays with idea on Hero Lab*

We're halflings. Even if we aren't focused on stealth, we're still about sneaking! And fun.

:)

"Of trouble I'm certain we'll find plenty, little onessss." says a serpentine figure shrouded in shadows.

Hearing something hissing, Edge jumps around for a moment, then seeing the shadowy figure. "Woah there buddy! Don't go scaring folk like that. Some of us only have the cloths we're wearing." ;)

"I meant you no harm. Sssimply making an observation." Even stepping fully into the light, the thing remains cloaked in shifting flickering shadows.

"Nothing to worry about, I just didn't notice you there."

Alright, here's my Half-orc summoner.

And his Eidolon

Background:
Since being kicked out of his tribe for keeping strange and unusual pets, Thran and his buddy Jhock, has traveled their way through the wilds to end up here, in this army camp, and it seems they've been forced into conscription. Not complaining too much, he never was one to back down from a chance to use his trusty Falchion, nor Jhock to pass up a chance to nom on poor unsuspecting...something.

HP for Thran
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d8 + 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + (4) + 3 = 13
1d8 + 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + (4) + 3 = 10

And how do we do hp for the eidolon?

I'm assuming it's like it is for us without the (d4-1)'s: Max at first, roll or average for every one after. Is that right?

If so, here's my eidolon's health:
2d10 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

Nope sorry that's just for PCs Eidolon's health is normal.

All good so far,

Could some one make a list of whos done a PC etc, Im not saying it will get you a place doing this but it makes me like you more hehe

GM is such a slacker :) no not really just I may miss things
