The Ataxic War (Epic Pathfinder/Homebrew) (Inactive)

Game Master Donald Robinson

For many, a life of peace and solitude, or a place to call their own beckons to adventures after the thrill of adventuring has taken its toll on the bodies and minds of adventurers. For some, that thrill never dies.

alright cuz that would help out edward cuz that would give him a boost to all his stats not just a couple


This is the alias for Goro's intelligent spear. I thought since he talks he should have his own alias :)

Billy brought up a good question via pm. Age.

If you would like to be older such as middle-aged or venerable, I am okay with that. As the characters are level 20, it is a perfectly reasonable assumption that some (or all) are older. Just mkae sure you factor in both the penalties and bonuses. I will allow your age penalty to make stats go below 7, just not racial penalties.

It looks like you are worth 266,302gp and should have an ego of 20 instead of 18. But nice to meet you!

As I was discussing with Billy, I have to say no to the Ghost template only due to the permanent incorporeality. I have a dislike for abilities that let you by-pass encounters without using resources or good tactics (such as scouting/divination). If you want to still play a ghost, I can come up with an alternate solution.

@Gobo
1. I forgot to mention that. For ease, we will do max HP, but enemies will also be given higher HP (not max though).
2. That was the first time I saw those. It looks like you are choosing the Minor blood line, so as long as you have the 1 bloodline level (making you 19 character levels + the 1 bloodline level) that will be okay.

1. Alright :) and to think, I am planing on having a d12 hit die and a con score in the high 20s possibly 30s... some 440 hps here I come!

1.b. I was thinking of taking the finding Haleen trait but it is significantly stronger than a normal trait (gives +20hp and +20sp) as well as being a campaign trait. Your thoughts on this one? I would understand if you decided to ban it outright and I might not take it just simply because of how powerful it is.

2. Yup, minor bloodline and yup, 19 character levels +1 bloodline level. I am unsure if I actually want it so I will build a mock up of a build with it and without it and see what one I like better.

The alchemist has access to eternal potion which can do some of the same kinds of effects (permanent greater invisibility for one) and there is the ring of continuation as well. Some oracles can turn into permanent elementals, like an assimar oracle of fire. Lastly some capstones can do similar things.

Dangit that reminded me of my goblin alchemist! He could turn into a permanent fire elemental (eternal potion) and loved his rocket propelled inferno bombs! He had so much goodness like turning into a HUGE explosion if he actually kicked the bucket, 40 foot gigantic bombs dealing horrendous damage and creating clouds of incinderary ash that stayed for minutes on end and he loved implanting bombs... Now do I fish him up from the watery grave or stick with my invulnerable barbarian....

Speedy little fireball that could create HUGE explosions or hard as nails barbarian that could survive until the ends of the earth... Dang decisions!

Ahhahahahah!! Nice! Now I got to make something like this XD


Hey star lyght what level are you? Your profile says lvl 35...

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

@Gobo

The link doesn't work. +20HP isn't that big of a deal at lvl 20. Is SP spell resistance (SR?)?

I do see your point on capstone abilities. I will not change or alter them, however, in the case of Eternal Potion, a potion maxes out at level 3 spells unless I am missing something. But as far as capstone abilties, if somethign can affect your character pre-game by its useage that can be used multiple times (i.e. Philosopher's Stone), I will allow a single useage of it (within reasonable usage) pre-game. That way everyone that has earned a capstone ability may be able to make use of it.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Okay, looks like link got fixed.

Question on the trait, is it that you get both the +1HP and +1 skill point from favored class bonus? or you get those plus any favored class bonus (such as +2hp/+1sp, +1round of rage/+1hp/+1sp)? If it is the former (+1hp/+1sp) then that is okay.


It is the second, +2hp/+1sp(skill point). But tell you what, I won't take it anyways, I don't want to be that munchkiny :)

The point of the capstones was more about being a ghost granting permenant etherability and how other abilities could do similar. Looking back it really was a moot point. Shrug.

Dark Archive

I hope none of you guys forgot about me... I'm still in the process of my character. I'll let you know when the character is up for review. Thanks!


Hey amber, did you get my pm? If you respond to It can help you more with it :)

Uggg. Statting out a barbarian is hard... so many bonuses here and there, so many save adjustments, I've even got bonuses on my bonuses! I've got at least 3 different bonuses to fear effects and they are all situationally different that I got to track them seperately :P heck, I even got 2 seperate stat blocks, 1 normal and 1 for raging... when I'm done I'll have to have someone check it over as there are sooo many little bonses chances are something will be off.
Oh ya, he also can inflict a -15 to hit penalty to himself, power attack, stunning assult and combat expertise. I gotta think about that..

Fun facts XD
He has 52 fire resist X)
He has 6 AC -_-
He has over 500hps!!!
He heals 17hp a turn for up to 59 rounds, 1073 points of potental self healing O.O
He has a 36 fort save

He's shaping up to be quite fun so far ^_^


Oh ya and his light load is 2248lb ^_^ his heavy load is a staggering 4904lb!


@Gobo Yes, I did get your post. I'll send you reply soon.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

6AC? Wtf?


@ gobo - While I see the appeal of such high HP, 6 AC seems a bit low for this level :o.
The main problem I see is attacks that don't deal HP damage, for example Goro Can deal you 10 str damage on a touch attack and he cant miss because of your AC.

@Donald:

No the super genius games Dragonrider, it's available on the PFSRD site. Also the saint template is a 3.5 deal from Book of Exalted Deeds~ Sorry for the confusion.

I've been working on a modified dragon rider that takes on a more bardic/utility role instead of a front liner/ranger casting role in a group if that interests you.


Donald Robinson wrote:

6AC? Wtf?

Actually its now 1...

Yes thats right, 1 AC... A whole frikken point :)

While it is quite strong, 566 hps and 26 DR should take a long time to chew through, it does have its weaknesses for sure.
Namely touch attacks like an alchemists will auto hit and ignore DR, he also has a weakness to touch attack spells that offer no saving throw, like enervation or especially Dex drain!
I am currently looking at ways to mitigate this as it IS a big weakness, im thinking renewed vitality, ignore up to 9 ability points of damage and when I stop raging, remove up to 9. Im also looking at items to see what I can find there :)
His other big weakness is that despite the huge hps and DR, EVERY attack will hit him. I am interested to see how that plays out with full attacks :)

And now introducing Joseph the Abomination!
He has 566 hps, heals 18 every turn for up to 1064 points!
52 fire resistance and a grand total of 1 Armour Class! His saves come out at a lofty 45 fort, 25 ref, 25 will!
He can carry 5 tons! Imagine if you cast ant haul on him!!!

What do you think? I still have to give him traits and items and write his backstory but I figure hes built enough to show :)
Some things Im still trying to tweak with him,
The above weakness, looking for items that could help with it,
his damage is low :( No pouncing hurts him as well but the combined effect of power attack, dazing assault, and combat expertise means he has a whopping -15 to hit. I got 1 feat left over, any suggestions for it?
I have headband of havoc, everwake amulet, amulet of hidden strength, eyes of the dragon and dancers of sworn vengeance to equip to him still, or some of them at least. I also have not yet looked at armour, will probably get heavy fortification. Still looking at the items ^-^
But I got 2 questions, I currently got juggernauts pauldrons and a cloak of resistance on him, can I combine the two? I dont remember how combining items works (or if its even allowed). Same goes for a mental superiority headband and headband of the havoc.
2nd. they changed the intelligent item rules on me... Whats your thoughts on it as any spell up to lvl 7 at will seems kinda powerful... If I make one I plan on keeping it cheaper, so no uber item of doom from me! Tho I do plan on making use of runes...

Well I just got a bit more to do and hes finished!

Edit: Oh ya, I need a better name...

Lantern Lodge

Alright got mlst of her set but GM, can I use the Learned sorcery archtype? My 3.5 god didn't have a bloodline so it makes the most sense though it is technically third party.

The learned sorcery archtype replaces all bloodline features except class skill and grants a spell known slot for each level (but not additional per day slots) and the spell known in that slot is treated the same as any other spell known except it can be switched out each day by studying a spellbook.

Ill have her alias up this weekend.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

@Gobo/Joseph - Very nice. For a feat suggestion to fill that last slot I might suggest going with another "Extra Rage Power" and select "Eater of Magic" since you already have superstition. It looks like it would go well with your heavy self-healing, plus give you a second save should you fail.

The level 7 spell at will abilities can be troublesome, however they remain viable (albeit expensive). I will keep this set for strictly Pathfinder only spells allowed (no 3rd party, 3.x). (Waiting to see flood of intelligent items).

For stacking item abilities:
"If the item is one that occupies a specific place on a character's body, the cost of adding any additional ability to that item increases by 50%. For example, if a character adds the power to confer invisibility to her ring of protection 2, the cost of adding this ability is the same as for creating a ring of invisibility multiplied by 1.5."

I'll let items that occupy the same slot to be combined. Slotless items will be case-by-case and cost 100% extra.

Juggernaut's Pauldrons of Resistance +5 will cost 77,500gp
Headband of Havoc and Mental Superiority +6 will cost 156,000gp.
Both assuming I did the math correctly in my head.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

@DLH - That 3rd party archetype seems okay. However, note, that because it does not give you the same spell book class feature as a wizard, you will need to purchase spells to add to the spellbook vs. getting the 2 free ones/level that a wizard normally gets.


Buying the spells should be pennies compared to your total gold so really is a moot point.

I was thinking about eater of magic but I should only really fail a save on a 1. Not really what I need to shore up, but I did spot the ring of blinking that I am thinking about.
Thanks for the info on the item prices :)

Was looking through the alchemists and they can do some pretty crazy things. Some of the grand discoverys are weak, but some are kinda wow. An asterion could literally get +21 str and +14 dex, +16 con and +12 AC (19 with the modded dex) and permanant invisibility and 10d6 sneak attack with very little drawback.... he could also create 10 bodys for himself so he would never die, and/or be semi-permenantly affected by ressurection, cast true ressurection on his buddies for free, have an on demand, immediate cure critical wounds. Oh ya, he can also create cheap simulacrums of up to 40hd and as many as he wants :p
All that at the same time by a single guy.

I'm a little scared of what he can do but I guess that's what high level wizards can do.


with a 9th level spell you have a 50% chance to fail vs. me


Wow, really? You can chuck out 35 DC spells? I imagine that makes it just about an auto success against most targets... Scary XD

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Yeah, there is a reason most games stop at or before level 20, lol. But it can be fun to play and run stuff that is way up there from time to time. Hopefully, I can still make some things a challenge for you guys. XD


Still working on my character blank on back story right now


I have only run one epic campaign ever and it was in 3.5 but I found that a fairly RP heavy adventure is good. I don't know what everyone else wants but I would be good either way. I do want to see how Goro konsioun.

@gobo - Every time someone directs a post at you I have to double check to make sure it doesn't say Goro. :)

about DCs - Well gobo he's had 2873 years to practice so you can expect him to be pretty experienced.


Hahaha ya. Every time you say goro did something my first reaction is "l did what now?" :)
I think I'll try and post as Joseph from here out ;)
I would expect that he would, being nearly 3k years old. Joseph is actually very young, his natural vitality allowing him to do some crazy things and survive. Think of Luffy from One Piece.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Just don't go all bubblegummy on me. Saw one episode of One Piece and that was it...


Here is Darklighthitomi's soon-to-be-a-god character. Well maybe not soon, but someday.

I haven't finished putting everything in profile, a nook is slow at that large a text box, so check back often as I add stuff.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Glad to see things coming together. I got a majority of the first story arc planned out along with the BBEG. Just gotta flesh out a couple of things, and then start figuring out what is available and how to use it on these forums.


Hello I'm new here just signed up today. So to get in on this do I just post my desiered charcter here?

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Normally, yes you just post your interest and then a character. We are currently at 8 people with one alternate. There are two players that posted interest that have not yet responded again. If both of these players do indeed drop, I'll let you know. Just have a character concept in mind.

Also, welcome to the Paizo forums!

And a question for everyone: How long have you been playing Pathfinder? D&D? RPGs in general?


I have been playing RPG's for a long time since Highschool, so about 6 years now perhaps a little longer. However I've only recently started playing pathfinder and I like it a lot. But I do have a character concept in mind alredy if the other two do not respond.

Also thankyou for the welcome


I decided that I should make a post of everyone currently as I have them listed:

Playing:
Billy/Goro
Gobo/Joseph
Amber
Edward
Corerue (And I just realized that I never answered you last time. Saint Template is acceptable. As for dragonrider, it seems quite over the top. Let me see the character after it is completed and I'll be able to give you a full thumbs-up/down. Have a back-up concept ready just in case).
DLH/Loralai

Awaiting Response:
lantzkev
Shadoven

Alternates:
1. Star lyght
2 SilverOokami


Oh hello again, I forgot to mention. The Charcter I have in mind is simply just a Cleric Scholar. I plan to have him have a lot of knowledge skills as well as speak many different languages. If thats okay with the DM thats the basic concept I'll be going with if I get in the game.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

Sounds good to me

I gotta say thanks for all the work you are putting ino this! I am thoroughly exited to play it :)

Hello silver and welcome to the forums!
With that cleric you planning on playing a gnome? They got a trait that gives them a 2 for 1 deal on launguages.


I AM COMPLETE!!
I got him all finished up ^-^
I do have a few things to run by you.

:

I have combined a headband of mental superiority (+4) and a headband of havoc.
Ditto with the juggernauts paldrons and a cloak of resistance (+5). I assume these are ok?
I would like it if you would look over my weapon, GolGarmon and make sure its ok. It ended up being bigger than I imagined and I put gliphs on it instead of giving it a special purpose power, should be equal to about an at-will 5th level spell price wise. Its mostly ment to be an anti-little guys ability but it might be to much. Your thoughts? Also I added a minor curse :)
It was inspired by the dwarves from warhammer :P
You ok with buying tomes/manuals? They are very expensive tho I won't get one with this guy I would like to know.
I was thinking of getting the tenacious survivor feat (replacing imp DR with racial heratige) and being able to 'revive' after dying, assuming I can still rage after being dead... what do you think?
Thanks a ton!

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

@joseph, looks good. I'll double check the numbers when I'm less sleepy. I probably won't sign on tomorrow though because of the holiday (busy, busy day). As far as tomes and manuals, I'll have to say no to those along with using any wishes or miracles before-hand. If you would like to pick up tenacious survivor and the racial heritage for it, that would work. I like that you included the fact that GolGarmon plans to try to kill Joseph since it is a humanslaying axe.


Alright good to know about the tomes!
Ya I was planning on giving you control of the axe and just acting out its speech so you can direct its vindictivness when you see fit, say for instance refusing to attack a dragon and my guy having to try and cope with the sudden prediciment he is in :) Note that Joseph is CN while the axe is CE so there are chances for conflict there as well :D
Oh ya, I have also got 40k 'spending money' for whatever may be.
Happy holidays!!!


I dont know if this is actually still open but here is my Rhinoceros Lord Barbarian for you consideration. 60 AC, 432 HP, DR 10/silver. It looks pretty solid to me not to mention a rhinoceros person pouncing on you with a screaming greatsword.

Gotta say did not know Gnomes got a bonus to languages. May make a Gnome then instead. But still kinda partial to the Dwarf.


sorry guys busy holiday weekend will get back to work on character soon.

@Rorge I can put you down as a 3rd alternate. Already have 8 players (up from 6 originally planned).

Looks pretty good! Actually quite similar to mine, maybe that's why I like him :)

Quick question, what's the stats for your race? Also what's your base stats?
Nice implanted stone there ;) I was going to do that but I didn't see any that I really liked, also I was thinking of making it inteligent!


The animal lord lets you take the base animal or base creatures ability scores and then add 4 to each of them. so my original scores are as follows.

7
18
7
10
9
18

the final scores look like this.

28 - 32 + 2 + 6 (40)
18 - 22 + 1 + 6 (29)
21 - 25 + 1 + 6 (32)
10 - 14 (14)
13 - 17 + 1 (18)
18 - 22 (22)


Naerly Done with my Cleric just need to figure out what gear I want to put on him as well as type up his backstory (I already Have it thought out). But after that pending DM approval.

On that note would there be a problem with me haveing custom gear for example plate armour with an elemental housed inside?
