HELLOOOOO

Hail!

Bonjour!
2d10 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15

Alright, got my alias fixed up.

Alias made, crunch once we've settled on the rules

Oh hey! I wasn't expecting to get in! Hi all!

I don't know about you lot but I was planning on having Guy be from the area around the Horse and Foot. He's also likely the only homeowner of the crew.

Glad one of my ideas made it. I only have the original class template for the scholar that we spoke of, did you ever make any changes or is that the one that we are going for? Either way I can have the character up by this afternoon in the gameplay thread. I am currently about to run out the door to work.

So instead of the true spell casting we talked about, you can make a small amount of potions. Right now, you can make cure light, ant haul, endure elements, keen senses, and polypurpose pancea. If you think other spells should be on this list, you can make your argument. These potions shouldn't be outside of the realm of what is possible with science.

Dementia and Kraven, can you post the last draft of the rules for those classes?

Alright, I have to roll for HP.

2d10 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Not bad.

This is what we have sofar, I'm stull trying to develope some alternate talents so that he wouldn't haev everything by lvl 16.

The priest will be a 1/2 bab and d6 HD class. 4+ int skills/level. Class skills as a cleric with the Cloistered Cleric archetype. High will save.
Simple weapons, no armor.
1: Inspire courage, as per bard skill
2: Healing hands, starting at second level, and then every 4 levels after that, wounded characters under the care of the priest would recover from your wounds at an increased rate. At second level, HP regained via resting is doubled, at 6, tripled, 10, quadrupled, etc… This is due to the priests skill with herbs and his resolute faith that god helps those that help themselves.
3: The priest gains the power of the holy scriptures. By reciting lines of scripture, the priest can fortify mens minds, strengthen their body and will, or allow their faith to let men stand against the fires of hell. The priest gains an Oration talents that he can use to inspire a number of different effects in members of his flock. The priest gains one talent at level one, and then every even level thereafter.
- The men of God shall know no fear: The priest grants a number of people equal to his Cha modifier a +2 bonus to will saves for the next minute, this effect is doubled against fear effects. Wis mod times per day.
- The men of God shall feel no pain: The priest grants a number of people equal to his Cha modifier temporary HP equal to 5+ priest level. Wis times per day
- The men of God shall withstand the fires of hell: The priest grants a number of people equal to his Cha modifier resistance to elemental damage equal to 5+ priest level. Wis times per day
- The men of God shall not rest before their task is completed: The priest asks God to spare a member of his flock, stabilizing a dying man by returning him to 1 HP. No limit
- Half healing to cure normal disease, @ 11 no healing, but can cure magical diseases
- +5 to poison saves, @11 poison immunity
- Lay on Hands, must be 6th level to take talent
- Bonus feat, cannot be Combat feat
- Breathe of life effect, must be 11th level to take this talent

And since I have to roll for some HP's: HP: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

@Kraven: I don't think the power of the holy scriptures would apply to my dogs, eh?

That would be up to the Lord Almighty. There is a place in heaven for all God's creatures, but the blessings he has bestowed upon me may not work for those not of the true faith.

The priest probably needs a few more abilities to round it out. Outside the talents. The other inspire abilities the bard has (competence, greatness, heroics) by the utterance of prayers and sermons would seem to fit.

And for talents, adding a few spell like abilities for divine spells would be good. Starting with cantrips at min level 4, they can take a talent to learn 1 divine spell useable wis per day. Same for scholar with arcane. Any spell taken would have to be a relatively low magic one, one that could be construed as science or faith rather than magic.

So instead of the true spell casting we talked about, you can make a small amount of potions. Right now, you can make cure light, ant haul, endure elements, keen senses, and polypurpose pancea. If you think other spells should be on this list, you can make your argument. These potions shouldn't be outside of the realm of what is possible with science.

Dementia and Kraven, can you post the last draft of the rules for those classes?

This is the last build that we spoke of, Also request to use my first set of rolls that were for 'Garret' rather then all the crappy rolls that I did for Damion as I finish the character.

I'll allow it.

You initially stated that we start with half starting gold, is that half of what the class starts with at first level or half of a third level characters money(1500)?

Damien, keep in mind the talents are the skill focused rogue talents + the ones found here

As for the potions, every level, you add two formulae, following the alchemist progression. However, these can only be made as potions, not as extracts. They are also drawn from a much smaller list, ones that can be reasonable done nonmagically. We will have to figure out later high level abilities, but it seems ok for now.

The latter

One feat, my Rogue/Scholar Talent and some equipment left to round out and I will be done. Due to my 2 mo old having some issues tonight while I was working on the character it will have to wait until tomorrow to put that stuff up.

As far as languages go, I need to choose 7, what are we using as languages?

Any language contemporary to the middle ages.

idk if it matters, but akio here knows french, English, Japanese, danish, Latin, Germanic , and I think Spanish.

Hows this GM

That looks good to me. Does anyone have any other ideas about the Scholar and the Priest.

Once everyone's crunch is done, we'll begin. Just post in the gameplay thread that you are ready to go.

idk if it matters, but akio here knows french, English, Japanese, danish, Latin, Germanic , and I think Spanish.

Cool, thanks for the ideas. I will have the rest of my character completed in little bit

Edit: I will be trading my +1 skill at each level for the +2 +2 -2 Stat block that you said we could do in the recruitment thread.

Finished, willing to take constructive criticism.

Crunch is done for the most part, still working on equipment. He's very Bard like with high Cha and social skills up the wazzo. Combat, not so much, lol.

So to sort of help me a bit, can you guys put in your race/class fields your basic statistics? Similar to this alias. Make sure to include any class abilities that are limited per day (like inspire courage).

Do you need the skills listed? I'm not a fan of the stat spoiler , and would prefer to keep it as it is.

Is mine good enough?

@Damion Looks god, but I would spend some of that gold on crafting some potions and alchemical items.

@Guy Barain You seem to have stuff in there from a different campaign.

@Layton Could you add a bit of backstory. This doesn't need to be done now, but it will help me later.

I'll post in the gameplay thread later today, but for now, I have to go to work.

That's fine. Really all I need is Perception, vitals, and per day class features.

hey dragon, I need an answer before I can finalize everything :3.

I was planning on rolling some craft checks, I was wondering how you wanted to handle poisons too.

I was thinking of keeping poison vials on my bandolier and alchemical items in my belt pouches.

Also will we have a permanent 'home'? I was thinking of getting a alchemist kit but I didn't want to lug 40 lbs of equipment with me everywhere we went.

@Damion I plan for the game to travel around a quite bit. Everyone should probably invest in a horse. As for poisons, if I remember correctly, the DC to craft is the fort DC.

@Derick I'll allow it, but please write me up his code.

Acid(10gp=100sp), Alchemy DC 15
Unlimited ammount by taking 10 on craft checks if I have unlimited time.
-> Craft Alchemy taking 10= 22
-> 22x15=330(sp)
-> 330/7=47.14(craft per day)
-> takes a little less then 3 days to make 1 flask of acid

Alchemist’s fire(20gp=200sp), smokestick(20gp=200sp), or tindertwig(1gp=10sp), Alchemy DC 20
Unlimited ammount by taking 10 on craft checks if I have unlimited time.
-> 22x20=440(sp)
-> 440/7=62.85(craft per day)
-> 62.85x4=251.43(sp)
-> takes a little less then 4 days to make one vial of Alchemist's fire or a smoke stick.
->I can make 6 tender twigs/day

Antitoxin(50gp=500sp), sunrod(2gp=20sp), tanglefoot bag(50gp=500sp), or thunderstone(30gp=300sp) Alchemy DC 25

->Tanglefoot bag
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 30x25=750
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 No progress
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 30x25=750
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 27x25=675
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 27x25=675
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 31x25=775
-> 7 tangle foot bags 99gp cost

->Antitoxin
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Ruin half material
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 27x25=775
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 Ruin Half material
1 anti toxin 66gp cost :/

->Sunrod
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 ruin half material
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 ruin half material
Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 29x25=725
36 sunrods 4gp 6sp 2cp cost, I'll sell some of those...

sell 26 sunrods for 26 gold. -> 10 sunrods

Hp for level 2 and 3 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 noticed I still had d6 written in my HP block

I forgot to factor in half normal time for crafting in my previous post so all times are divided by 2 also apparently craft alchemy can craft poison as well so I am relocating those skill points.

finished spending my money on alchemical items and potions

Sorry I've been quiet, super busy weekend for me. I'll invest in a horse and post a little later.

What would you guys say to changing the year to the late middle ages? 15th century.

Sure. That's 1400s right? Makes my story a bit more believable.

Makes mine less believable, though. I'm pretty sure there were no more Vikings after around 1066.

Still plenty of danes though. And the background can be shifted from Viking to raider.

Without revealing any plot points, by changing the time period the story I am intending makes a little more sense.

All right, give me some time to come up with another background and I'll try to work with it.

Edit: Would it be possible to make the year after 1517?

Why?

The new start year under the new plan, would be late 15th century. 1483. But it would largely still fit for 1517.

That way Martin Luther would already have begun the Reformation, and I could make Thorfinn a Lutheran. Besides liking that idea on a conceptual level, it would mean I wouldn't have to start looking for new traits.

I will still allow you to worship the Norse pantheon. A hold out from the Viking age, a line refusing to convert

That doesn't really make sense for the background I'm planning for him. I would prefer to make him a Lutheran, if 1518 isn't too late for your story to work. The Reformation wouldn't have technically begun beyond some nobles reading about Luther's edicts, so the jump isn't far.

Whew, scooted in under the bar to change his name to something less Viking-y!

Whoops, some stuff slipped through when I recycled this alias. Got it cleaned up now.
Also, I don't mind shifting the time period.

DM, did you decide on a year? Is 1518 all right?

The earlier the better for me, as the position of Pardoner fell by the wayside well before the reformation.. I could go for a nice 1200/1300 year game. lol.

EDIT: updated the alias name just incase we do move to an era not inhabited by Pardoners.
