Hmm...I didn't know that there was a secondary effect later on the Campaign trait. I was waffling pretty hard anyways on the trait for this campaign. GM if you don't mind, would I be able to switch to Stolen Fury?
Then we'll lose out on the marshal event though :/. But I suppose we might not get that anyway if you aren't going to be following that path. I haven't looked to closely at the various paths, but I suppose actually going marshal is a no-go for you?
Also: Go team blue skins:)
Does the brew have any effect? Do they have to roll fort to avoid becoming drunk?
This is just normal alcohol. No side effects. You rolling to avoid being drunk is up to the GM.
I'm not really feeling the Marshall path, my archtype already gives me some similarish abilities where I can give people a teamwork feat once per day and then also giving bonuses to attack and damage on my studied target in the long run.
The champion tree would benefit the character a lot more in keeping up as a damage dealer cause ranged characters tend to fall behind on that front.
All I've got to say on damage is chained double kama. I love these things since figuring out they function as both reach and non reach weapons.
By the way, if anyone whatsoever wants to do a teamwork feat let me know. I am going to have like 20 of them by the end of the AP I am sure.
Ranged characters are the highest damage dealers in pathfinder due to never having to move. The problem with ranged is that they require more feats than any other in order to get there. Of course that doesn't change the fact that you probably should take the mythic path you want to focus on. Marshall is more about boosting the rest of the team while champion is more about boosting yourself I think. It seems like Marshal works better with a certain set of classes, for example it could allowing for sharing smite with everyone on the team.
What teamwork feats are you planning to get? We should probably coordinate since I am also getting some teamwork feats from warlord as well as the ability to share them.
Back to Back, Coordinated Shot, Enfilading Fire, Precise Strike, and Target of Opportunity are all pretty useful looking to me. Mind you most of them are for ranged.
Back to back and Precise Strike are a definite because they are great to share with the group. The rest are just ones I'll likely be taking cause hazzah for Inquisitors being their own teammate.
Wow, I go to sleep for a few hours and I come back to over 2 dozen posts!
Xantrius is going Marshal path, so we have that covered. There are a lot of good abilities for both Paladins and Bards in that path, so it is perfect for him.
Oups, I remembered wrong. Chance encounter is for trickster, not marshal, sorry...
I've been waiting "patiently" (ok my character is the extremely impatient sort;)) for your response IC while the others just kept on RPing.
alright, So we got what, a marshal, an archmage, and what, 2 or 3 champions?
An archmage, a marshal, two champions and two hieophants.
Ok, so no Trickster after all. As to changing traits to match intended path, that is OK and actually suggested,
I am guessing we'll have problems with traps and such at some point... Do we even have anyone with disable device? What about trapfinding? I belive there are archtypes for most classes that allow for picking it up, seeker for sorcerer/oracle. Sadly the life oracle spells are not the kind you want to cast during combat so it does very little for Aleziella and I want to replace more relevations than that archtype does anyway.
What does the trickster offer that we are missing out on? Or guardian for that matter?
I have thieve's tools and Disable Device. I will most likely also pick up the two slayer(rogue) talents for it if no one else has a way of doing it.
I edited "demons" to "creatures, Halfbloods" after feedback from our DM(which was sent as I was writing the post).
@Bajik: Your formatting turned out a bit odd.
Hmm? Forgive me you'll have to elaborate a bit on what you mean by formatting unless it was what you mentioned in the PM
Your bold markers are mistyped.
Bah, now I get yah. Thanks, I didn't notice it at first. Bleh, need more water.
Seeing as Tanya has Spellcraft covered I think I'll move my rank from there into something else. Maybe profession (soldier)... Though Bajik would be a lot better at that than me if he put a rank there?
@Xantarius: Doesn't your archtype require you to have knowledge matching the type of creatures we are fighting in order to work? I put a rank into knowledge local (which is what cover humanoids), since no one else had it, but if you pick it, I could maybe use it for something else...
I really like the picture for this Alias for my character, but sadly it got blue hair instead of black. This picture is somewhat fitting, except for the ears which are nowhere near that pronounced. So hard to find a picture of a beautiful blue girl with starlit hair... I haven't decided if I want her to have those white markings as shown in the caption picture. Maybe she'll have a few, but not as many as to be confused for a normal Yamah.
...or ill just walk away and take my seat...
Sorry for being rude, but my character is kinda engaged in the conversation she is having atm, she is not pausing to listen to someone else. That is kind of weird about PBP, things might happen out of order... She did indirectly answer your question though. She is trying to figure out how to prevent what she saw in her dream.
I didn't know Phrasma could have paladins. I thought you needed to be within one step of your god or goddess to be a paladin? Why did you chose that god if I might ask?
Also, I am wondering if by lore the guards are actually reasonable or not? I read that the city was in the grip of the inquisition. Honestly I have no good explanation for why my character is acting the way she does if the guards are reasonable, she should be fairly familiar with them given her background :(.
So, you're lying, consistently. That seems like a bad idea. Maybe instead of lying just say your a paladin and refuse to elaborate?
Xantrius, quick note, did you read my bit on paladins? You would definitely not lie about your faith. You may not be forthcoming, but definitely wouldn't lie.

I was looking at it as his one big character flaw, but I see how it wouldn't really work for a paladin. How about if he keeps the outline of a rose on his shield (as the rose is a symbol of both Pharasma and Shelyn, just usually black and red, respectively) and refers to his deity as "My Lady" and doesn't say who he worships? Or maybe he should just leave his shield blank and only have Shelyn's symbol on the reverse where only he would see it?
As for the time spent in Kenabres, he has been here for several weeks in the crusader camps outside of Northgate. He has a tent set up there, but he keeps most of his stuff with him except the tent itself because he has heard that there are those opportunists who prowl around the fields looking for items to loot. He has spent most of his time training and going through the trials to assess his readiness for battle, waiting to be assigned to a company and given his first mission. Any free time he has he spends at the Librarium trying to find out more about the grey-skinned demon and the symbols on the amulet it dropped.
How about an etching on a shield of black and red? When you get masterwork it could even have a gold filigree flower
That works fine, as I said he doesn't necessarily have to be forthcoming to others about his faith, just no lying about it.
Weeeeee. I love being helpful on designs
Whoot, got gear finished, switched the trait to orphan (hopefully it'll work out history wise) and all is set. Oh wait, now I need to remove the editing note.
Well, I need to type out her history, but that'll take plenty of time and not mechanics.
Backstories aren't reviewed before we start?
@Jason: Is the inquisition and the guards the same thing in this city? And are they "rough" as Aleziella claims or nice as Xantrius says? Also are there any other crusade factions besides the inquisition? If there are Aleziella would have stayed with them, but she wouldn't have stayed with the inquisition.
Well I've talked about some important parts of background, but drawing up a nice narrative is a different matter.
The Inquisition is a mixed bag. It depends how lucky you are. There are redeemers and there are punishers. It is why individuals have such different outlooks toward them. Essentially it depends on which type you had a run in with. No the guards are not the same as the Inquisition in Kenabres.
Okay, I don't want to nitpick, but I gotta before these posts get set in stone, is there a reason to change the one with injured leg from female to male?
There are a lot of changes specifically to adjust for later events, different challenges and such. I also neuter any political/social activism type subjects that Paizo has a tendency to insert in their APs (a subject I am not getting involved in) as I have no idea who is playing, what their proclivities are, etc. Mainly to avoid any uncomfortableness. So yes, certain controversial subjects are changed to a more vanilla version.
Not sure I like that but it is reasonable.
I don't want spoilers about things that are changed. Can you please take this to the pm in the future? With a 50% larger party and gestalt I doubt any encounters will be the same. I am not a fan of removing content just because it's controversial, but it's your game, some people are more vulnerable to that than others.
I actually did to begin with, but was unsure if Jason would see it in a reasonable amount of time, my apologies.
Let's get all these stupid crits out of the way before we get to the fighting shall we?
@Tanya: Since you can customize feat and arctype for your familiar and it's hp, skills and stats changes over time it would be a lot easier if you at least kept a simplyfied statblock on your sheet. That way it wouldn't have to be calculated every time. Did you pick any archtypes for it?
Let's get all these stupid crits out of the way before we get to the fighting shall we?
crits?
Let's get all these stupid crits out of the way before we get to the fighting shall we?crits?
I've rolled a 20 and a 19 so far. Both would be crit threats if it was combat, but here they are merely overkill.
Ah yes, well, the 19 would depend on what's being used, but that reminds me of a question for the GM, What's the rule on nat 20 for non combat checks?
Lol! I know that feeling :)
