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. :)

time thief, by SSG
just pointing this out
I was already thinking of using Time Thief as one of the building blocks for it. I was mixing in some monk as well to get some other nice effects for it.
Edit: Time Thief makes a lot if sense for this guy.
While its never a good sign of sanity that you're arguing with yourself(I do too, so don't worry), just make sure you never loose said argument.

It may, but I warn you, time thief is like the Hindenburg of play by post.
It looks and acts fine at first, then you try to use it and it burns you like hell...
swiftblade if you want it
Yeah, I could see how it could be a pain for play by post. Heck it seems like it would be a pain for normal tabletop play.
Swift blade is interesting...
Hello, I was told about this sprawling complex story and setting and was intrigued by the idea of a objectiveless campaign...
Are there places available in this campaign still?

Yeah, I believe we are always recruiting, however the main DM is quite busy with life atm.
It may take a while to get a character approved and introduced :)
we can help with the preliminary stuff though
what were you planning on playing?
Please look in the Campaign Info tab for the new player primer. It's a great help. Heck, read it all if you want.
Oh, and we aren't objectiveless, just overflowing with objectives. ;),
I apologize Dragonborn3, I meant an overarching objective everyone was striving, deliberately for.
I have read up on what characters that are made need to have...
Is there a Tactician (fighter archetype) in this game?
you make and find your own objectives
currently I have one character helping to escort refugees
and another character trying to stop what may be an epidemic and may be mind control

I don't think so
I only know of one person with the fighter class at all
*grumble*
i say we incinerate the problem...

sorry I forgot about him, he hasn't posted in a while
do either of them have the tactician archtype?
It wouldn't really matter if they did anyway. Who cares if there are two characters with the same class?
I want to play the helpful, tactical person... he would be weak on his own, but can keep track of many things at once.
Fighter tactician battlescout ranger
Maybe a few levels of something else thrown in....
Ideas/thoughts? Feedback is always welcome
he asked a question I was trying to answer it
it is understandable that for their first character they wanted to do something different
I would suggest some Magus or Bard

Third party class, scholor.

There's always the Archivist Bard

Bards are designed as the party buffer,
also yes scholar, forgot about that
just adding a post for fun :)
I want to avoid bard and wizard and such.
I want to make a character who is "just that good" at manipulating the battlefield, yes mindless creatures because of immune to moral bonuses (which manipulation of battlefield shouldn't be) can't be assisted, but he isn't going to be magical
:)
Then the fighter/ranger you suggested us your best bet.
whatever
just be sure to have a reason to be at a school for magic
and an idea of what classes you will be taking at said magic school
Try either the Tacitian psionic class, or a Cavalier.
Igni is a Cavalier/Bard/Battle Herald I believe, and is the same kind of concept as yours, if I'm not mistaken Icehawk?

Since 3.5 material is honored, you may want to look at the Marshal.

Wow, a marshal/dragon shaman gestalt from 3.5 would be damn near the ultimate support character...
ah now dragon shaman would be a good class that both makes for an excellent spell less support character and a reason to be here
Actually, battle Harold/dragon shaman would be better.
Though, you could argue that that counts as a martial.
Lord Foul II wrote: ah now dragon shaman would be a good class that both makes for an excellent spell less support character and a reason to be here No, there is plenty of martial training here.
Why couldn't a martial be here?
The only weirdness with a Dragon Shaman would be... No one from Agartha would take the class. Which leaves the Empire. No one from the Resistence would either, since they are fighting them and I bet wouldn't want to draw power from them.
Ah, i had an idea for a dragon shaman...
Hee. I might make it sometime.
I am debating on a Martial/Tactician now,
That gives me a battle field controlling power, as well as a nonmagical heal/buff.
Decent attack as well.
:)
Now, can someone explain about the Resistance/Empire/Agartha thing so I can accomplish establishing a backstory with depth and stability

I have a marshal in play already (though it's not obvious), but I am looking forward to seeing others view of it. Great class. :)
Due to the radio capabilities in this campaign my tactical bonuses can control and assist against/for a massive fight...
Master Dungeoneer wrote: Melody Waverider wrote: whats wrong with Bard! I didn't mean to offend, I simply do not wish to play a magical character before I understand the setting more completely
I wasn't offended...
I'll go back to being unconcious now...
BTW: Mel cannot cast spells either
(psionic powers...yes, spells...no)
I have an 'Avatar' for this character....
I will get his statistics figured out sometime soon, but the data on the resistance and empire is necessary for a backstory.

magic works the same as it does anywhere else but we also have high tech characters like this one

Why couldn't a martial be here? the presence of martial training helps with what classes you would take once here
but it doesn't leave you with much on why you are here in the first place
I'm not attempting to argue, but wasn't Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Children, not just about mutants with amazing abilities?
The power to turn a group of rioters into a united fighting force merits watching and guidance.
Likewise the Soul Eater academy didn't only house magic using students.
Thereby I am relating two of the three 'mash up' progenitors have non(physical/obviously)magic
Whereas Harry Potter seems the exception instead of the rule (wizards only)
I would allow a person to revel in my greatness (become a black dragon shaman).
yes, but the people who organized the mutants were in and of themselves mutants
I don't know enough about soul eatter to say really anything about them
