The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

He was set on Arthur. I had a first name too but he wanted Arthur.
Barren is the only part that's a joke.

Amirite?


Can someone verify that where the lifepod crashed is the same 'explosive blast' area that trashed the landscape, or are they different from where that happened?

Didn't want Anahita 'appearing' at Mithros without it being the right spot, thanks!

Yes indeed it is. Why else would there be a crater? Oh wait. . . . Fei. . . . Other Crater. :)

A mask that gives mind blank against a divination slug

Ah, but mind blank only works on a person.

And, if no one is wearing it...

Only in RAW but I doubt it shuts off because a face isn't inside it... How would the mask know?


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

- mind blank also prevents true seeing, so why can it be seen?
And magic items only work when on a User (unless otherwise stated.) It has always been that way.
You're just hoping i don't learn about the mask.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Also, if going by what makes sense? How the HELL could anything be guarded from legend lore? It's basically using magic to STUDY.

Literally the only thing it does is defend against divination and a divination reveals its properties?

Okay, the mask is a combination Mindblank Nondetection that grants protection Law/Good/Evil/Chaos a few times a day


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Mindblank does everything nondetection does, but with no caster level check. It can only effect a person. But to avoid having this become a thing, have renkai wake up before she's done casting.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I just want to put out there, two things--

1) If this magical item (the mask) is Renkai's primary PC 'power', or a major component of his PC's storyline and reveal, you're effectively taking away his secrets (potentially) simply because he put himself in a situation RP wise without even rolling for it (i.e. unconscious, etc.)

2) You are /taking/ someone's property away and researching it. Any competent magical research/student/user would realize that magical items (especially high end ones) are attuned to a specific user, 24 hour thing, and by taking it away and researching it, you're a) borrowing it without consent, and b) perhaps ruining that attuning.

Ask before you do this with the player-- that's my suggestion.

Thats not a good Idea... he's very secretive and protective of his stuff... he'd be in a Very bad mood, because of 1. the robot lied 2. your messing with his stuff and 3 he is armed and always dangerous... plus he only has like 30 hp

he already did it, and its all good... Renkai'll cope


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

It was already removed as a Normal part of first aid.

Learning secrets is what riviarti does- she's a divination specialist....

Though i do understand the point you are making, secrets won't stay secrets forever. And if mind blank does somehow work on the mask to, i will get nothing.
So it's really up to renkai, or if he just wants to wake up.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Also-
Legend lore gives just that- legends.
Vague descriptions of the Mask's ability-
Renkai could easily just give me
"It's a potent shield again divination"
Or something of the like.

well i dont mind... renkai has his share of secrets and more... losing the mystery of one's not that bad...

Oh right.. the mask also turns invisible...

okay... Legend Lore gives you "A potent Shield against detections from magic, used by tricksters and thieves. Worn both seen and unseen..."


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Why she didn't-

She is a potent arcane crafter, with craft arms and armor, wondoros item, and constructs.

She likely knows about cursed objects mostly because when she was in an arcane collage, she most likely made (and fell pray to) a few of her own by accident. She is a little too ambitious.

it's not cursed. and if everyone who knew about curses never fell prey to one... nobody would know about them because nobody'd ever fall for them

If two parents cast a spell each a creature can have the Half-Fiend and Half-Celestial templates together.
Fiendish Seed and Blessed Seed.
I'm considering playing a half Aasimar half Tiefling with those.

Really kinda stereotypical. One angel wing and a small halo, one bat wing and a horn.
Feasible?

No, i mean that overall, she'd be weary (having thought to have bested a curse, and not using it as such.)

It doesn't say anything about that. Check on Scribd if you want. Even if it is there are other ways do that(I think).

No, it actually would work.

Oh, and there is a reason the mask caught so much of her attention.
Suffice it to say, none of this would of happened had you not grabbed that crystal eye.


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

There's a spell from Vile Darkness(3.0, I believe), that pretty much forces the Half-Fiendish template on somebody. I do not think there is any sort of restriction as far as what kind of beings it could be cast on.

What happens if cast on a Half-Celestial? Or an Aasimar? Or even an Angel?

M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Grater prying eyes have the true seeing effect.
Because it's a divination effect, it didn't see you.
But because of true seeing, your mask...

And how can you hide from something you're holding?


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Pretty sure the angel would Fall and a Pali would lose his powers.
I like the Seed spells better. Balanced and and half and half and half from birth. :)
Is there a way Oracle would work better than Cleric for the angel half?

Stealth beats true seeing... And by grabbing it it sees my palm. Nothing but blackness... It had no idea what was holding it


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

See, but mind blank makes you invisible to divination-
And simply because you grabbed it, you weren't hiding when you did so.
You were nothing but a floating mask to it at that time.

Ok when I put that true seeing sees it...

People have natural true seeing not a spell

Natural true seeing sees mask, as well as those who can't see illusions. Mind blank you can't see it. There clarified for you

Thank you. That makes more sense.
Sort of.
Natural true seeing is still a divination effect.

Should anyone be interested a play-by-post possibility for those really wacky characters that you might not get a chance to play in the normal run of things.
It's a rules super light game based in the same world as Realms of Agartha (Here is the original Agartha thread for anyone who is interested. Not required reading, kinda different setting, but can give you a good feel for how rules light plays.), though it's not necessary to have read or even be remotely familiar with that thread. I'll gladly fill you in on the basics. Basically the action would be taking place in a school for magical youngsters. Think a mashup of Hogwarts and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. Existing characters include weredragon triplets and a good-aligned demon. Power level starts in the mid to upper teens. This is really the beauty of rules almost free, it actually supports that without making you want to tear out hair trying to keep track of all the details. Cause sometimes its fun to play superheroes. :)
We do use dice rolls, but sparingly, and if you have a concept that isn't easily supported by existing rules we can help you cobble together something that works since really all you need is a basic idea that lets you know what to roll for attacks, saves, damage, etc. The focus is more on the shared storytelling aspect of the game.

Power level is mid to high teens. Loosely Pathfinder/3.5 based. The current thread has been going for a couple of months, but we've had a few players drop out, so need to fill a few slots.

In game it's about two weeks into the term, so you can choose to be a late transfer or easily say that you've been there all along and just hadn't interacted with the main story before.

Shadow Lodge

I don't have much to say, but this is an enjoyable game because everyone playing will get a chance to "DM" a story arc.


The awesome janitors and epic battles don't hurt neither. Oh, and we have a minotaur named Buttercup.


I'll echo my Board-mates here. I'm usually not as fond of rules-light, but this has worked very well for everyone in it.

As always, just my humble 2cp... :)

This is a fantasy Pathfinder game?

Could someone explain rules-light?

It is loosely based on Pathfinder rules yes.

Rules light means don't sweat the numbers. Rule of cool wins over RAW every time. :)
All you need to know is your attack bonus, AC, saves, and maybe a few key skills, but really there's a lot of handwaving and it's okay to improvise. The focus of the game is on cooperative storytelling rather than crunch.
Feel free to take a look at the thread and read through a little bit of it if you want to see how it looks in play.


Let me give this a read. There is a good chance I will jump in. I like free form / no power play games.

There is a really good chance I will jump in if you will have me.

What do you want by way of a stat block or back story?

I think I will run with a human savant. Sorry but I really do not want to ready 3800 post so let’s just say he is late. If it will not work I can think more. The kid from Mercury Rising is about what I want to play.

As far as stat block goes, just have a basic concept of your ability scores (we use the handwaving point buy system), know your attack bonus, saves, AC, maybe a few key skills if you like. And watch your power level. Your concept sounds like it might be a bit weak as is. I don't want you to not have fun because you handicapped yourself too much.

You don't have to write me a book on backstory. Give me a synopsis and maybe a few key things that I can use to draw your character into the story. You can feel free to relate details (or not) as the story progresses.

Also:

Spoiler:
I'm not opposed to the concept, but as a personal favor I'm gonna have to ask you to tread lightly with this one. As the parent of an autistic child that is some emotionally charged territory for me. If done right, that is a concept that I can really respect and appreciate. Heck, that's one of the things I really love about the tv show Bones. It does an amazing job of showing an autistic person struggling to relate to the world around them without making it something to be pitied or being preachy. But if the character you have in mind is more of a caricature, I am not the person to do that around. Figured it was better to just be up-front and tell you that now.

To give you an idea of what she means by this, here is a list of current characters that I made just yesterday.

EDIT: I did not make all the characters yesterday, just the list. As you can see all of them are pretty crazy.
EDIT 2: Not all of these characters are mine, and those that are aren't always active.

Two gargoyles sat at the bar, talking as they attempted to drown their sorrows in copious amounts of ale.

"Disgraceful, that's what it is, Bert," the first gargoyle opined mournfully.

"Got that right, 'Arry," said the second one. "Time was folks was honored to get an invite to be attending the Avalon Academy. Ask a body in they would, maybe even give ye a bite to eat or suchlike while they asked all their bloody questions."

"Yer, and now ye ain't barely able t' get the words out afore they slam the door in yer face. If I ever get my hands on the fellows what's been spreading these rumors about it being dangerous there, well..."


Just tell me if you think this will work or if you want me to change anything.

Char Info:

True Name: Unknown
Given Name: Tom
Class: Technically Summoner
Race: Assumedly Human
Alignment: Neutral
Age: ??
Height: 4’4’’
Weight: 77lb

Description:
Tom looks like a basic young boy. He has common slacks and a light blue tunic. He has vivid green eyes and a wide happy smile on his face. He has no shoes but his feet seem to look rugged.

Personality:
Tom is extremely inquisitive, but also seemingly lost. Since the point in time when he was first spotted he has not said a single word to anyone. He does seem to speak, but the word are not in any known language, nor consistent. He really does not pay all that much attention to his surroundings, which really causes issues due to the fact he reacts somewhat aggressive to fear.

Tom has an innate ability to create small living creatures seemingly at will. This ability most includes very small things like butterflies, spiders, or other bugs. Aside from the bugs he also seems to really like colorful fish and flowers.

He really does not have any desire to follow the standard structure of society. Due to the fact he can substance himself with food, water, and shelter the traditional structure of society is irrelevant. If given simply motivation he will follow others due to his inquisitive tendencies. Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.

Back-story:

Tom was found walking down the middle of the road about 6 months ago. Before that time he had never been seen.
A few different vastly intelligent creatures have spent some time attempting to understand what Tom really is, but no one is really sure. The current competing options range from sentient life force, to lost construct. Everyone has concluded he looks like a young boy, but he most certainly is not one.

The power that be decided to send Tom to the Avalon Academy


Well I find this interesting I would need levels at least, I dont like being all powerful or having a slanted advantage. Kinda takes away from the point to me. Characters need a goal/purpose and gaining levels, money, inflence, etc etc is the means and so the adventure. I like being able to play pretty much anything but if their is nothing at the end or even the illusion of an end then just does not seem fun. How can characters evolve or even grow with out the real threat of failure at least if not death.

But then again I may not know what I am talking about so if you can clear this up for me then please do.

It is a school that helps you gain control of any abilities you may have, which means the goal is to gain enough control to graduate.

Seems like very few people have that lack of control though..


VonGonda wrote:

** spoiler omitted **

It sounds like a solid concept, but I have two concerns.

The first one I've already mentioned is power level. Now, I will say this, if you start and then discover that you're way too weak, you can always have your characters powers evolve as he gains more control over them, bringing in more powerful abilities.
The second is how is this kid going to relate to or even notice the other students? He doesn't have to be socially skilled, but I'd hate for the plot to always be passing him by. What are his points of interest? His obsession if you will. There's usually something.

There is threat of danger/failure/occasionally even death. But the goal/purpose is generally more story driven rather than levels, money, etc. Abilities can and do develop over time, and as DB3 said, that's the real purpose of the school. To help the students gain control of and develop their powers. I'd suggest maybe reading the first page or two of the thread to get a feel for how things play out. There are definitely rivalries, enemies to defeat, long-term goals and so on. And trust me, while the characters are powerful, there are plenty of things out there that are more powerful than they are.

ONE: He seems to weak.

He reacts somewhat aggressive to fear.

This would be the situation when he spontaneous summons everything in his power to stay safe. He can do more than just play with butterflies.

TWO: Get into the game

Interesting creatures, people, or things tend to make him happy.

I assume I will find something about the other players that will fall into this category. After I get him going, and get a better idea of the other players I will hook him into the plot.

What are his points of interest?

When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances? It sounds like he and EJ, the recently 'born' intelligent ooze, might have some interesting interaction should their paths ever cross. :)


When you say that he is interested in life do you mean that he likes to observe other creatures' behavior? or more like biological processes? outward appearances?

At this time he does not understand what he is, but he likes to create life, and down the road the stuff he calls forth will start lasting longer and longer until it is permanent.

In time he will understand what he is and more than likely start a new forest. When he starts a new forest he will no longer exist as a humanoid.


Here are a few questions of reflection?

What are the emotions of a tree when the morning sun comes over the horizon?

What is the first thing a seedling would say when it eclipses the crust of the earth?

Why does a duckling or other bird work so hard to free itself of the shell?

Does a spring rain drop speak with the plants as it falls to the earth?

Does a seed try to find the best soil?

Does my house plant get upset when I turn it away from the window?


Adsila is going to love you. :)


I assume that means I can join the game thread. I will keep any eye open to see the best time to join.

Since she's his most likely teacher? Yeah, pretty much. :)


So would I be able to make a character with some interesting Templates?

I'll need to think about it, but Ive always got some interesting ideas for that or maybe just an interesting personality to play. Halfling wizard (maybe SUmmoner) with a napoleon complex comes to mind.

Edit: Halfling wizard with a napoleon complex who was cursed with a permanent reduce person effect. lol!

Template away! :)

Also, I love that character idea. You don't want to know how many times I watched/read the Borrowers when I was a kid....in other words I think that character sounds like a ton of fun. :)

I GOT IT! Permanently reduced halfling with a Napoleon complex who is a master summoner. He can't kick your a$$, but he can summon something to do the job for him. LOL Maybe with a template or two.

Shadow Lodge

He can ride around on Ruji! XD

The "young" template will take him down a size category. Apply the "Advanced" template after that for the Napoleon Complex.


Both of you guys can head over to the discussion thread if you like to iron out details. As you can tell we get a bit quiet on the weekends, but now it's Monday and things are back in full swing. :)


I do not see the discussion thread. I see the game thread but that is all.


I think I will just jump into the garden that seems like a perfectly good location unless you have other plans of introduction.

Of course, being in the garden works perfectly. Taron did say he had found some more people to join in the fun.

Taron: "I though you invited him!"
Kamenwati: "No, I thought you did!"

Would you be interested in this character, a pseudodragon sorceress I created for the PathfinderDB site?

I like it. :)

Feel free to hop on over to the discussion thread to iron out details, ask questions, and figure out how you want to make your entrance if you would like to join the game. There's a link a couple of posts up. You'll need to give her a couple more levels, but don't see any other immediate problems. The anti-dragon sentiments in Agartha don't extend to the miniature variety.

Are there gods and goddesses in this world. I've an idea for a centaur cleric of Shelyn or her counterpart. :)

Yes there are. Any that you like. Thus far most of the gods that we've used are a bit more well, made up on the spot, to be honest, but that doesn't mean you can't worship a more established deity. It sounds like a good concept. Are you thinking you'd like to be a student or a teacher?

I need linkies to the game and discussion thread.

Here is a link to the Discussion Thread.

Please do not be intimidated by the wall of text near the end there. One of the other players has a cool but very complicated concept, and we're still working some of the bugs out. Sometimes when we have to just make up rules to fit a concept they don't work exactly right the first time and have to be adjusted a bit first.

Also, I'm going to be working on a quick primer of everything you need to know about Agartha this weekend, so hopefully that will make it easier for newbies to catch up and figure out what's going on.


And >>HERE<< is the game thread.

=================================================<br>
SPECIAL ABILITIES<br>
=================================================<br>

Bloodline Arcana Whenever you cast a spell of the compulsion subschool, increase the spell's DC by +2.
Cantrips You learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spells, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.
Dragon Traits (Ex) Dragons have Immunity to magic sleep effects and paralysis effects. Dragons breathe, eat, and sleep.
Fey Bloodline The capricious nature of the fey runs in your family due to some intermingling of fey blood or magic. This tends to make you more emotional than most, prone to bouts of extreme joy and rage.
Fey Magic (Su) You may reroll any caster level check made to overcome spell resistance. You must decide to use this ability before the results are revealed. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. You can use this ability at will.
Fleeting Glance (Su) You can turn invisible for 15 rounds per day. This ability functions as greater invisibility. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Immunity to Magical Sleep (Ex) You are never subject to magic sleep effects.
Immunity to Paralysis (Ex) You can never be paralyzed.
Laughing Touch (Su) You can cause a creature to burst out laughing for 1 round as a melee touch attack. A laughing creature can only take a move action and can defend itself normally. Once a creature has been affected by laughing touch, it is immune to its effects for 1 day. You can use this ability 7 times a day.
Poison (Ex) Sting-injury; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/minute for 10 minutes; effect sleep for 1 minute; cure 1 save.
Telepathy (Su) You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 60 feet that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.
Woodland Stride (Ex) You can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.

Sorry, been out of touch lately. Unfortunately no. I've got too many school obligations. Though I still love the character concept. Feel free to steal it.

Nah, I'll let you keep it.:)

If your schedule ever opens up, consider this a standing invitation to join the game.
