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. :)

Alright, so my thoughts on Ms Gamze....

We already have teachers for evocation, basic arcana, and magical theory at the high school level so this is kinda not really a legit need. She could however teach magic at the elementary level. However....there's low level and there's seven year olds are better at this than you. Is there really any legit reason she can't be a fifth level wizard? That's still not powerful, but good enough to at least be reasonably able to teach magical theory to little kids.

If she was qualified, there wouldn't be much point. That's why her being a fifth level wizard would be unacceptable.

I didn't realize there was already a teacher for remedial evocation, so I'll keep looking.

KC: any reason why your hobgoblin couldn't have stumbled across a Wand of Mind Blank and uses it to shield herself. Really, it's how she came up with the idea to work for the Seer in the first place!

Plus: limited charges means she has to find another solution At the school.

And for those of you preparing your rules hats with glee: I don't care that Wands can only have 4th level spells traditionally. That's the Rules Light portion of the game. :)

How's that work for you KC?

That actually sounds like a pretty funny solution, since it gives another way for Gamze's unsustainable scam to be exposed.

For those wondering why I'm so determined to have Gamze be an unqualified teacher, Gamze is inspired by Senor Chang from "Community". In the show, Chang is the only Spanish teacher, but it turns out he just took the job for a quick buck and the only Spanish he knows is from Sesame Street. That's the main thing about Chang I wanted to adapt. Of course, his scheme only works out without a hitch because he's teaching at a cartoonishly lousy community college.

But, hey- if you seriously disagree, by all means, dismiss two independent people's possible ideas and effort to steer you else wise.

It just so happened that the wand fit Gamze's nature--I had thought about a magic item prior, but decided it would be too expensive and thus harmful to Gamze's nature as an "employed bum". Fortunately, the fun of the wand's eventual expiration makes up for it.

I am not by any means plotting to dismiss what people say. I simply wish to make the character I had in mind, and sometimes peoples' ideas, while interesting, would make different characters. :)

Gamze is a hobgoblin, not some strange, exotic magic-immune race. Making her something more exotic than a common hobgoblin would make her fit in at the school a bit better, and thus hurt her flavor. Thanks anyways, though. The wand may be what I go with, depending on what course Gamze ends up teaching. :P

... Snip ...

If you are seeking to channel Mr. Chang from Community, who was one of the best parts of that show, focus on the hi jinks aspect, and not the stats.

Sure, a wand, but-- what if, instead, it's her 'innate' Psionic gestalt second class ability that she has no awareness of, and even feverishly resists improving, that allows her to 'get past scrutiny' and yet allowed her the job?

Chang, while notoriously inept and pathetic, did have /some/ redeeming qualities, right? If for nothing else, he gave a representation of what /not/ to do. He did, however, stick to his guns, and did come out as a protective future Dad, if I recall.

Stop thinking stats and rules, try to bend and focus on the story/theme, it might pay off. Plus, if the story doesn't pan out, abort it in a whimper or bang, or both, and whip up something new. We're here to be creative, not fixate on what /can't/ be allowed/accomplished, right?

Too many people keep focusing on 'No' and forget the rules light. I know I do all the time.

Anyway, end rant. Do more. Believe. Do, there is no try, etc etc.


Female Kobold

No offense, but your talk about how limited I am as a roleplayer is starting to get on my nerves. :P

I'm actually focusing on Season One's Chang, who was not at all inept. He was just a fraud. You tell me to overcome my wish to say "no", but I do not want to play a character I do not think I would enjoy. That's my final answer. She's a hobgoblin. Making her something more than a hobgoblin is not something I want to do.


Female Kobold

Let me explain my outlook on weirdness. I can do weirdness anytime. The gaming group I run IRL is very hard to keep sensible, because they're always trying to add in "zany" antics that make no sense. To keep this short, I'm a bit weary of weird.

When I roleplay, I like to make characters. I find that weirdness, at best, distracts from those characters. At worst, it eclipses them. Some people enjoy playing weird stuff, and that's fine. Me, I may play a goblin or a kobold, but I keep them normal for their species. When I don't, I make nigh-omnipotent kobold liches. Who I then proceed to argue about OOC as well as IC. Which then proceeds to get me shunned. Point being, I don't really like playing weird s#$%.

Then I'll drop it, since I appear to be causing unrest.


I don't think Dami was suggesting that you are limited as a roleplayer KC. He even admitted to doing it himself "all the time". He's just trying to prod you in the right direction.

Dami can get verbose at times.

Indeed, but his good grammar and spelling is refreshing.

I don't need the prod, so I'd appreciate it if he stopped applying it. ;D

This, and you're on the 'don't prod list'. Good luck.


DB3, I believe the unseen girl and Anahita scene awaits your update.


We're waiting on Tybalt's or "Evil pumpkin head with four symbols in his name, the Gathering Guy's" update, right? ;)

Or is the buck officially in Lynora's court, she who is horribly busy?

Just managing my expectations and impatience here.

Pumpkin flavor doughnuts- suprzingly good.


As much as I hate to put this on Lyn, I'm waiting to find out if Bradley is now at the roof and if he had any special senses going.
Sorry to keep you waiting. :(

Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Hey Lyn, or anybody else who feels they can weigh in effectively, would it be ok if I did the whole Crossblooded Bloodline, but didn't take the hit to spells known? The whole drawback aspect really bothers me, though at least the penalty to Will saves makes sense flavor wise.

I am thinking about maybe doing this for a new PC, though I am not positive.

Just thought I'd ask.

Why does it bother you?

Balance is kinda a good thing, and if an archetype is better with little/no drawbacks, everyone would use it.

I thought you were going to respond for Dave?


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Other than some of the archetypes that lower your spells per day(many of the Magus ones), no archetypes actually posses a drawback. They trade out certain features for different ones, that fit more thematically.

I just don't understand really the point of said drawback. At least the Magus archetypes having you loose spells per day makes a bit of sense. I would imagine its because you've focused away from casting to be more combat efficient. This works, because they are prepared spellcasters, learning their magic through formulae, complex patterns, etc.

A sorcerer automatically knows his spells, as their are ingrained in his blood. I just don't see two bloodlines mixing to be a reasonable cause for them to loose any spells known.

However, such mixing does make sense in giving you a penalty to Will saves. Kinda like having two warring minds inside your head.


Well, I could be mistaken but you /do/ get all the bloodline powers for both bloodlines, yes? I haven't read it in a while.


M death touched aasimar 4 magus (Myrmidarch)/4 quinningog zen archer monk

No you get the choice between any of them


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

Yes mg, but you also get both bloodline arcana's, witch when used together, can have very powerful combinations.

Though, i do see where you are coming from.


To be reasonable within the standards of the Avalon game, instead of that 1 less spell known per level, you /could/ do something storyline related along the lines of the magic being wildly uncontrollable - not sure if that fits into your theme, but that also does make sense for a cross-blooded sorcerer (two different kinds of magic clashing).

For the record, what bloodlines are you thinking of
Perhapse you could simulate the concept by gesualting with a certain oracle mystery or witch patron


Male Varisian Tattooed Sorcerer(Arcane) 6/Oracle 6(Lore)

I'm not entirely positive. It was just a spur of the moment idea. Pretty sure Arcane, no matter what.

This is a non-gestalt version of the PC. He'll be level 6, on the cusp of gaining levels in Harrower and Tattoo Mystic. I do plan on changing his mystery from Heavens to Lore, as that makes more sense, and Tyrrin is already a heavens Oracle. He'll also be a Tattooed Sorcerer.

Mr royston
I do believe that you will have one maybe 2 students in your gun kata class in the form of myself and possibly Hermes


Male Weremonkey Rogue/Ranger/Trickster

Tattoo Mystic is a PrC, Tattooed Sorcerer is an Archetype.

TM requires the feat Varisian Tattoo, which you get for free by being a Tat Sorc.

Shadow Lodge

Male. Vaguely humanoid Ninja 3/Bard 1/Ranger 2/Scholar 1

Fair enough
I know what they are, the only reason I even asked is because much of what you get from tattooed sorscerer you get from tattooed mystic

Lyn, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. if the two nosebleeds in the past four days are anything to go on...failed fortitude saves for me :( I'll have to save the retcon or editing for when I'm feeling well enough to think on it without getting a headache.
