Hey lyn, I heard things have been hectic . I replied to your last pm, and wanted to hear your thoughts on the subject (pun intended?). Just making sure it doesn't get lost in the plethora of PMs you get lol. Thanks :D
So I went searching for your PM and I couldn't find it at first...after I realized I'd mentally mixed up you and another player. >.<
Very, very sorry. I think I've found your actual message now and am re-acquainting myself with your concept. I think I replied to your last message? Maybe? I remember replying to the most recent one I could find, so if I didn't it's possible the message went awry. Wouldn't be the first time I'd had a PM eaten by my bad internet connection. My old laptop had a problem with its wireless card.
Hey Lyn, I'll check with my bro when he comes home later today. No worries on the mix up. He understands you lead a crazy, hectic life.
You going to answer my pm? Or is this old? Or am i nuts?
Oh, crap. Sorry, icehawk. I'm trying to work through my backlog today. Hadn't quite got to that one yet.
It's alright.
Didn't know if it was missed, or what.
I understand perfectly.
Fate-seer....okay...
1. Holy crap that was a lot to wade through
2. The system is too different. I need you to port it over to Pathfinder
3. Daemon in pathfinder (neutral evil)is very different from daemon in warhammer (chaotic neutral), you're gonna need to drop the name. It's really closer to a protean. Although you could get there from tiefling too I think.
4. Transferring this concept to pathfinder is less complicated than it might at first appear. It's either wizard/psion or wizard/cryptic. You might need to use a couple feats to get all the abilities the same, but it can be done.
OK, so I would need to completely alter the race, classes, and feats then?

Yes. I'm sorry. It's just not compatible systems. In order to keep things relatively simple things need to be Pathfinder based so everyone is playing the same game. What I was reading was just off enough that it was going to create perpetual confusion if used as-is.
It's entirely possible to re-create the concept entirely (or very close)- looks, goals, background, abilities - using Pathfinder rules. I don't have any issue with the character concept.
OK, I can fix it, although it'll take a bit and I'll need a bit of help creating it

Alright, let me know what you need help with. :)
Do I still keep universe specific items like the staff though, or do I drop that as well?
What does the staff do? If it's easily converted we can keep it or find something similar and re-name it.
The only two things it does is add 30ft spell range, and petrify on a DC 25 save

Sounds like it should be okay as your one magic item. It's powerful, but allowable.
Ok, I've decided to go with Wizard/Cryptic but what would be good to match the concept race-wise?
Protean.
Maybe teifling with a subtype.
I'll have to look at the proteans, the look that is has is bird-like. I'm trying to get it as close as possible, so is there anything like that?

I would allow you to keep the look the same whether the stats you use are protean or tiefling with a template. After all, can't expect all of a chaotic race to look alike...that's just silly. :)
Ok, should I change the background while I'm at it? Although its why he has those items, I could tweak it if need be
Race generator? entropic does sound good though
and here is entropic
Linkified
Lyn, would it be alright if I used the generator to create a race? Of course I'd need help building it with something to go off of, but the entropic template would be a definite thing to put in
My friend Death_Keeper, has introduced me to the concept of the game and I am interested in possibly joining it.
I would be interested in creating a character to run in this setting and it would be a Shifter concept where the character is a girl that when threatened becomes a giant werewolf
it would mostly focus on physical force in combat and has basic magical powers when non-wolf
Lycan might be where you want to go with that, as opposed to Shifter.
Check out their stats, as well as the new player primer I wrote, in the campaign info tab.
Ya. Lycan with the transformation being a fear reaction would be my advice.
The gestalt could be like a multiple personality thing. Barbarian for wolf mode and sorcerer or wizard for normal.
Weekends are slow so it may be a bit before Lyn can get on and talk to you.
:)
That seems like a good idea, could the gestalts be different levels?
like the wolf form be higher level than the nonwolf form, so the wolf is more dangerous?
Both can be up to 16.
Hi, Black Ivy and welcome. :)
Definitely read the new player guide and the lycan write-up. I might suggest with your concept that your character may have been exiled from her pack at a very young age and this is why there's such a disconnect for her between her wolf side and her humanoid side. Your backstory to write, just that might work well for you.
Anyhoo, yes you can have the different sides of the gestalt be different levels. 16 is the max for a PC, so you could have barbarian 16/sorcerer 10 for example. There is no minimum, though most choose higher levels. The nice thing about starting out less powerful is that leveling is more or less at your discretion until you get to the max, so you can choose how long it may take for her to master her powers.
Your freinds with DK? I'm sorry. :p. J/P

ivy pay no attention to the town fool, you already have my sympathy for making you tolerate these people

Would it be possible for my character to change size catagorys when transforming?

Welcome to the story, I don't believe a size change is outrageous, considering some of the other things people have written. Try not to worry too much on small (or huge) thins, but what is conceptual and works for your person's tale.
Lots of ways to explain why, and a few size category differences won't matter over all.
High Ivy...
are going to be a musician?
Ivy, it would definitely be a bit unusual, but I don't think it would be out of line to create a rage power or something that lets her up her size category to large. Lycans usually stay within medium size, though often on the larger size of that, but this is a school for the exceptional. Maybe a spot of wild magic or something changed her. Or maybe because she draws on her natural strengths less in humanoid form.

Lynora, could you possibly review my character's background and possibly provide me with a way that my character would come about attending Avalon?

Yeah, definitely. I have to sign off on your character before you join the game thread anyways. Do you have the info in your alias profile? If so, just post with your alias and I'll review it. Or you can PM me the details if you want your background to be more of a mystery. :)
Mystery good-- so you can reveal stuff in-game (not that I've noticed a TON of people interested in other PCs pasts. :sad mummy face:)
I've noticed quite a bit of past sharing. Not to be argumentative. It happens mostly between intimate characters, but still does, nonetheless. :)
I also agree with the secret part. More fun that way. :)
Okay, Thank you for the advice.

Sorry for being late to this posting game (just moved and had no internet access until a few minutes ago).
You can actually base your werewolf side off of a dire wolf instead of a regular wolf - that would allow your hybrid and animal forms to both be large size. As long as your humanoid form is within one size category of your animal form, it will work just fine.
There's an example of this kind of build here.
And welcome to the thread! (^-^)

Actually, that build is for a lycanthrope which is a different race...still gonna allow the size change, but it would take a fairly different build since the werewolf there has very different base abilities.
Which you would have had no way to know cause it's only been in the last couple o weeks that we switched from basing lycan stats on the lycanthrope template and actually did a race write-up. Mostly cause more people were wanting to play them and it was mechanically difficult to do the old way, especially with the way the fluff was written.
Oh, and yay for you having internet access back. :)
You can be up to level sixteen. How much you'd like to leave open to develops subtracted from 16 is what I'd suggest. ;)
Most new players start at double sixteen(gestalt) and leave some class features "locked" for later "unlocking" through development. This being the typical for new player's first character. :)
Lyn, what level should I be?? I've got him pretty refined, just need your ruling on an ability I thought would be appropriate and what level I can make him. Thanks, I heard some crazy stuff just went down, can't wait to join in! Hahah
Crazy no doubt!
Anyways, teachers can be up to mid-twenties in level. Not that you really need to stat them out. If a teacher is in a combat situation the crap has already hit the fan. :P
OK, I've got the classes done for the most part, however, would it be alright if I created a race using the generator?
