I had a game with an AM BARBARIAN type. Took a Half-Elf Wildcaller Synthesist. . . It was sickening. 600' charge with pounce is so broken.
At any rate, if I took Leadership it would be to up an Improved Familiar.
Problem is Ezra is the only good person in the group. You all are e-v-i-l. She should take a glabrezou!
Says the woman that gives out Lamastu's water like its candy.
With your whole succubus theme, you should take a Kyton with levels in Fighter, give the Bodyguard feats, dress him in a gimp hood and play him as a masochist who you've conditioned to derive pleasure from diving in front of attacks meant for you.
Lol, but then I would have to remember to unzip the hood whenever I needed him to talk to me.
It's funnier if you don't.
"Slave, fetch me my sunday whip."
"Ymrth mrstrth."
Huh; I'd looked over the Wild Caller archetype before and it didn't seem very special. Looking at it now though.... sweet jesus, that's a lot of extra evolution points!
Damn, only a 51 on Stealth. They will see me coming for sure!
LOL I Need a Kyton now!
"Ah m herr, Mrstrth. Hrr mr er serv yrr."
Good, polish my boots, then clean the party's chamber pots. Don't forget to say 'thank you mistress.'
"Thrnk yrr, Mrstrth."
Humanoids are weird.
Indeed...
Just reread my post in the game thread, and I sound mildly mentally damaged. What I get for trying to make a post between games of League of Legends. Lol!
ARC, if you are looking for opinions on the new applications, you want us to post them here or in a private message to you?
looks like the boards ate a post.
Yes I'd like everyone's input. I think a PM would be better to avoid problems between current and chosen/not chosen replacement
So far i have two votes, still waiting on the last two of you before i make my decision for replacement.
DM, I just remembered I have two feats which increase how much undead I can control. Thus, new specs- I've raised 25 zombies (new max is 29 but decided to only raise 25).
which feats are those?
Would any of you be opposed to inviting two of the applicants?
I would not, no. We lost two, so two replacements would be fine.
Sounds fine to me.
Undead Master and Spell Specialization (Animate Dead).
Two works for me too (hehehe).
Hey Everyone, I am still tweaking the character information on the alias but I am here as well.
Welcome to the party everyone. ARC, I do not envy the fight you are about to hash out.
Woot, now all we need in a way to pick you both up
Glad to be a part of the group. Pick us up? I figured we'd just appear killing everything in our path until we get to you.
Quick aside, what is the rule for calculating hit points here?
Does your character actually look like a giant bug? I thought red mantis assassins were like ninjas (I'm not all that up to snuff on Golarion, honestly)
And how in sam hill does the bard have a 22 strength and 20 Charisma? (and how can I do whatever she did?)
In his armor, this is more or less what he looks like.
They are assassins who worship a mantis god, the assassin of the gods. They seek to emulate him through their attire and by worship through assassination.
Here is a wiki on Achaekek, if you are interested.
That's completely badass.
That's better than my wife's reaction the first time I showed them to her. She asked if I was trying to play a giant fire ant.
Now I want to use the custom race generator to make a Thri-Kreen and play some kind of newly created avatar of the Mantis God.
I am curious how her stats are that high too.
my count
22 37pts
16 10pts
15 7pts
10 0pts
10 0pts
20 free 18 + 2 Racial
total pt buy 54
and by my math Shadow has one point banked
13 3pts
20 free 18 + 2 racial
14 5pts
12 2pts
10 2pts - 2 racial
18 10pts for 16 + 2 racial
total pt buy 22
I do believe the expression to use here is...bringin the pain!
For some reason the code wouldn't take on the ooc text for both my first attacks, no matter what rewrites I tried. *shrug*
Stop trying to steal my glory.
looks good Aluria
DM Arc,
As of this point, I don't know where the campaign is taking place. Character development wise, I was thinking about spending out some of my funds to either:
1) start assuming influence and control over some current red mantis factions; or
2) create a new competing red mantis organization that is true to the religion and devoid of the corruptions that the character saw in the original organization, which led to his untimely betrayal.
Ultimately, at 7th level I would have the character take Leadership to accommodate this. I don't know that I'd have the cohort around all the time. He'd probably be more of his second in command to run his assets or provide occasional mission support during the campaign.
I didn't know if this would be something you'd want me to actively role play in the game or to just state he is doing this during down time.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade in regards to character builds, as I am doing it too. If several of us are taking Leadership, I sincerely encourage us to use it as Mantis suggested, as people holding down our assets and holdings while we are gone. Otherwise things are going to get very convoluted very fast.
Personally, these are my plans/hopes for it.
1) Followers will be soldiers. Straight forward.
2) Cohort, a wizard, apprentice to the wizard who helped bind Dreadmaiul to Krovax. If allowed by ARC, he has somehow learned of Krovax's return and sought him out to help him take vengeance on the assassins who killed his master (same night Krovax was assassinated).
All of which will remain at whatever we can establish as base holdings unless desperately needed.
I see that as a good long term goal but due to the plots requirement of traveling to distance parts of the world quickly a stationary base of operations would be hard to establish and maintain currently. Two options would be to wait until traveliing vast distances is easier through magic and such or maybe some form of mobile base of operations.
Ok, in that case I will hold off on leadership for now. Will help simplify things and give Krovax time to reestablish his name and presence in the world.
If you would like I can roll the remainder out, seemed like from your post that rest was basically over, so that's how I took it. Just lemme know.
My thought was not a single base of operations but to start to put contacts in cities all over the globe to build a network. Have the cohort travel around to oversee them and keep the character posted on how things are going.
Not much point in writing out the last round like that, you and Dreadmaul easily kill watever the zombies dont eat
That could work. Use your leadership more like a spy network than as an army.
Really good idea. I've done something similar with a merchant character, having the followers be employees at outlets all over the place. It means no matter where you go, you'll have local support and keeps the logistical headaches that usually come with having a bunch of followers at bay.
DM Arc,
How do you handle the use of a disguise kit? How long does the disguise last?
Thanks.
Usually either 8 hours or once combat ensues i give you a 50/50 chance of it remaining intact. Weather can change that though, rain ruins disguises fast.
