Hello all, how are you doing? This is my recruitment thread for a short Warhammer Fantasy world adventure using the pathfinder rules.
The game is set far in the north of the Warhammer World on the border lands of the Chaos Wastes where a Norscan warlord has gathered an army of barbarians and mercenaries to seek out the legendary Tomb of the Daemon King, desiring the power rumored to be buried within.
You are one of those mercenaries, promised a pile of treasure and perhaps a share of the fallen Daemon's power should the venture succeed.
Players may use material drawn from The PRD
Abilities are chosen using 25 point buy.
HP are maximized at each level instead of rolled.
Characters start at level 13 with 140,000 gp worth of magical treasure.
You may pick 2 traits.
Any kind of character can be made though some effort should be made to flavor the character for the Warhammer World.
One concept I use in PbP you may not be familiar with is that I simply do away with Initiative. Instead combat rounds work like this: After describing a scene and saying combat starts players have 24 hours of real time to post their turn, after the 24 hours the enemy goes, then the players have another 24 hours to go etc until combat is done. PC actions occur in the order they are posted.
If you do not post your character's actions within a given 24 hour period you simply miss that turn.
This style of combat has a couple of advantages, it keeps combat moving and means that the game will never grind to a halt because of a lagging player. It also means as long as you are on during that 24 hour period you can simply post your action instead trying to fit in a specified initiative order.
I am looking for between 5-8 players. Characters will advance in levels at certain points in the story not by the accumulation of XP.
I look forward to playing with you all. =)
I do like high level games, but I'm not at all familiar with the Warhammer world. Never played the RPG or the miniatures game.
Not sure if I could come up with a background worthy of someone that level.
While knowledge of the Warhammer world is a plus it isn't strictly necessary, if you like you can just make a character and their background as you like and I can find a way to fit it into the Warhammer world.
Grand. I was a bit concerned about that as well. I'll be submitting a Sorcerer who may have dabbled a level or two in monk for defensive reasons.
Hmm. I'm thinking either a human warpriest or cleric, or an elven magus, maybe wizard/eldritch knight.
It's a shame that having a dragon to ride around is out of the question, but that's how it goes.
Thinking of making a dwarven slayer, mohawk and all!
I'll get something worked up. Probably ranged character. I'm thinking a bolt ace gunslinger could be interesting.
Thinking of making a dwarven slayer, mohawk and all!
That's awesome!
does that rule out unchained classes?
I only am using what can be referenced on the PRD.
A little information on the setting the game takes place in. Chaos Wastes. Norscans. Daemon Princes.
Woohoo, this has my name all over it. I will almost definitely be creating a Clan Skryre skaven for this. I assume the gun setting is "guns everywhere" because this is the Warhammer world?

One other thing: Leadership feat? Thinking about ways to get a rat ogre pet, similar to Thanquil and Boneripper.

Not too sure on the flavor, but the Marines is this world, right?
Huge powered armor, guns blazing?

You're thinking of Warhammer 40k not Warhammer Fantasy.
If you would like to join a 40k game though I run this one and am always accepting new players =)
Hmm. Not too keen on using anything other than Pathfinder.
If only that game had these rules.
Would there be a way that my Marine could have made it to this world?
I'm just not that up to speed on what the difference is, I guess.
I've always wanted to play an Imperial Marine-type character.
If not, I'll see what else I can come up with.
Wow, this sounds like fun! I'm far too busy with real life and a couple of other play-by-post campaigns, but I thought I'd cheer you on. Have fun!
Now I must soberly withdraw before thinking about how I would represent a high elf wizard all the way from Ulthuan (possibly an abjurer for such an adventure?), wood elf mage (druid or spirit whisperer wizard?), or even a wardancer (some blend of bard and swashbuckler, or warpriest of Loec?), or... Darn it. :)
Are the characters good guys or bad guys? What non-human races make sense?

Sorry, a crossover character would kinda ruin the tone of this game. To learn a bit more about the world this is to a wiki like page that you can browse for more information.

Well, if you change your mind those sound like some fun characters you can play=)
Are the characters good guys or bad guys? What non-human races make sense?
You're mercenaries so you can be of any race or alignment, though the pure good ones are probably a bit more rare, if you are familiar with the setting you are basically Dogs of War, which can include anything from High Elf princes to Chaos Warriors.

Gm are are using PRD And we want to be Chaotic can we use race builder?
if so what RP will have to make a race with?
Yes, you can use the race builder with 10 RP.
So a Eshin Ratfolk Ninja wouldn't be out of the question?
Sure, feel free.
If you have them you can use them at the normal cost pregame.
OK, here's Simo, a sniper, perhaps a Graeling. He grew up hunting, using an old family heirloom crossbow and never decided to 'upgrade' to the newfangled firearms. He likes it quieter. Didn't scare off other game.
With all the tumult in the area, he found that taking a job with a mercenary company was far more lucrative. His ability to do things with a crossbow which puts most riflemen to shame keeps him in demand.

Clustered Shots Total damage from full-round ranged attacks before applying DR
Crossbow Mastery (Light crossbow) You can reload any crossbow as a free action. With your chosen crossbow type, this does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Deadly Aim -4/+8 Trade a penalty to ranged attacks for a bonus to ranged damage.
Fate's Favored Increase luck bonuses by 1.
Grit (Ex) Gain a pool of points that are spent to fuel deeds, regained on firearm crit/killing blow.
Gunsmithing You can use a gunsmithing kit to craft/repair firearms and ammo.
Highlander (hills or mountains) +1 to Stealth checks, Stealth is always a class skill for you. Double this in hilly or rocky areas.
Improved Precise Shot Ignore AC bonuses and miss chance from anything less than total cover/concealment.
Ioun stone (clear spindle) Sustains bearer without food or water.
Jingasa of the fortunate soldier (1/day) Activate to negate a critical hit or sneak attack as an immediate action.
Point-Blank Shot +1 to attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at up to 30 feet.
Precise Shot You don't get -4 to hit when shooting or throwing into melee.
Rapid Reload (Light crossbow) You can reload fast with one type of Crossbow or Firearm.
Rapid Shot You get an extra attack with ranged weapons. Each attack is at -2.
Signature Deed (Deed: Sharp Shoot [Signature Deed] [Ex]) Pick a deed that you have access to and that you must spend grit to perform. You can perform this deed for 1 fewer grit point (minimum 0). If the amount of grit needed to perform the deed is reduced to 0, you can perform this deed for the normal acti
Wayfinder (1 @ 0 lbs) A small magical device patterned off ancient relics of the Azlanti, a wayfinder is typically made from silver and bears gold accents. With a command word, you can use a wayfinder to shine (as the light spell). The wayfinder also acts as a nonmagical (magnetic) compass, granting you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. An ioun stone slotted in this manner grants you its normal benefits (as if it were orbiting your head), but frequently reveals entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).
Note: This item costs only 250 gp for members of the Pathfinder Society

Are you doing "guns everywhere" or "commonplace guns"?
Advanced firearms like revolvers in everyone's holster doesn't seem like a warhammer thing.

Guns are very popular with certain factions like the Empire and the Skaven and they have things like this.
At thirteenth level the heroes can have access to pretty much anything they want that isn't a laser gun.

This is SR, offering Senna for consideration. Her crunch is under her profile. If I get selected - and we have another arcane caster of some ilk in the crew - I'd like a chance to change up some spells so we've got more bases covered.
Concept:
Senna is a flexible evoker (mostly fire, acid, and force) and utility spell-slinger. She doesn't have to be a stand-off caster and will enter melee to drop some deadly combo of magic without a second thought. Casting on the defensive is second nature to her.
The woman isn't much to look at: slender and tomboyish with olive skin and brown hair. If one looks beneath her woven conical hat, her eyes are disturbing, as they are entirely hidden behind glittering black crystal eye cups set in a fair face (albeit one tattooed with a vertical slash of ancient characters from brow to cheek bisecting one eye). But her equipment draws more attention. A worn shirt, breeches, and mud-stained boots ride her form below an open silk robe so blue it is almost black. Looking closely, the robe is embroidered with stylized dragons. Lashing the robe in place are a wide leather belt at her waist and a worn bandolier strapped across her chest. The bandolier holds a variety of pouches, two slender metal rods set for easy removal, a scroll case, and a wicked wavy-bladed kama.
If it weren't for the gear, the woman might be mistaken for the 'girl next door'... save for the tattoos that mark her from neck to ankle. It is whispered that some are words of power, totemic animals, and the long count of every orc tribe, goblin tribe, village, or daemon she has destroyed. Her body is her resume.
Her reputation precedes her in hamlet, thorp, and village. They call her the Daughter of Dragons or (among the Orcs) Sister Scourge. Few know her as Senna Proviso - or care - so long as she leaves their village as something other than scorched earth.
Crap, I read the OP and went and made

OK, here's Simo, a sniper,
Just a heads up the Wayfinder item is not listed on PRD that I kind see, much to my disappointment. One of my fave items to, with slotted stones its cool.
O hum :(
Ahh, sorry, was using Hero Lab, and generally use the d20PFSRD. Wayfinders are setting specific to Golarion, so I understand. I'll dispense with it. Just have it for the resonant power anyway.
