Here's what I have so far for the Zon Kuthonite. I'll be finishing him up over the course of the day, might not be completely finished until tomorrow.

I've been pondering about making an inquisitor /ranger of either Erastil or Iomedae, I haven't finalized everything yet. Still waiting on your decision about the black powder inquisition and this as a whole before I build too much around it.

Hi yea early firearms are permitted.

Emerging Guns: Firearms become more common. They are mass-produced by small guilds, lone gunsmiths, dwarven clans, or maybe even a nation or two—the secret is slipping out, and the occasional rare adventurer uses guns. The baseline Gunslinger rules and the prices for ammunition given in this chapter are for this type of campaign. Early firearms are available, but are relatively rare. Adventurers who want to use guns must take the Gunsmithing feat just to make them feasible weapons. Advanced firearms may exist, but only as rare and wondrous items—the stuff of high-level treasure troves.

No worries, recruitment will be open till at least thurday to friday. The first post I will try to get it up over this weekend. I will give a 12 hour notice before closing recruitment.

PS: Cant seem to link to your character page via your link.


Angrim the Tickler

Try again, dunno what happened there. Crunch just completed, working on fluff now. Where is the Nightfall Scion based in Golarion? Any more information you can give that would help in writing character backgrounds?

And right now I'm thinking a Hellknight initiate; because of the requirement of having a level of Inquisitor, he can't start as a Hellknight, but is this doable?

Hmm I am not too sure but based on what i am reading

Requirements

To qualify to become a Hellknight, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

Base Attack Bonus: +5.
Skills: Intimidate 5 ranks, Knowledge (planes) 2 ranks.
Armor Proficiency: Must be proficient with heavy armor.
Alignment: Any lawful.
Special: You must slay a devil with HD greater than your own. This victory must be witnessed by a Hellknight.

a fighter5/inquisitor1 would qualify as BAB would be 5+? Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi DKal, yea the Deity looks fine. However as the church of Ketephys is considered minor, the future funding for initiate from the church of a minor deity might be lesser. As such probably when the funding comes in from the respective churches to the Nightfall Scion, you may get a lesser amount than one who comes form a major deity church.

I'll probably just go with Gozreh then. That does seem to suit Terflynn just fine as well.

Oh, and do you do BAB fractions? As in, 1st level of inquisitor is not 0, but 2/3, rounded down to 0?

Sczarni

Due to the sheer number of posts since I last looked, I'm gonna step down. This doesn't mean I won't be watching though.

Good luck and have fun!

Yea I do fractions. But rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Hi All,

I am thinking of running a home-brew campaign of a band of inquisitors sent by their various deity to rid the world of various macabre horrors such as a witch coven, a vampire lord's castle, lycanthrope cave etc. The band will have a NPC Grand Inquisitor whom will assist the players in their adventures.

The inquisitors will each represent from one of the following deities. (Other deities allowed but prefer the major ones)

Abadar | Asmodeus | Calistria | Cayden Cailean | Desna | Erastil | Gorum | Gozreh | Iomedae | Irori | Lamashtu | Nethys | Norgorber | Pharasma | Rovagug | Sarenrae | Shelyn | Torag | Urgathoa | Zon-Kuthon

just an interest check.
(EDIT:Look like we have interested people, let's do this then. :) )

Guidelines:

Looking for about 5-6 players

25 points, Max gold 16,000 GP

Max 1st level HP, Followed by half + 1 of hit die. Eg: 1d8= 4+1=5 OR Roll your Hit Dices but keep results.

Races: Core Only

Alignment: Neutral, Good preferred. (Evil allowed but need convincing backstory and motivation)

Looking at character levels 6 and must have minimum 1 level of Inquisitor. Also players are encouraged to have mounts too.

Arcane magic is frowned upon by the churches. It is tolerated but not recommended. (Try to stick to divine magic users)

Hi Fellow Inquisitors,

I see many potential interesting combinations coming up.

Just some updates that i may have missed out.

Traits: 2 Traits. 1 of which must be a religion trait.

Additional Resources

The inquisitors that join the Nightfall Scion will be ostracized by their church. They will still be followers of their chosen deity however the church will have no relations with that Inquisitor. However, the Nightfall Scion is heavily...

Hi Fellow Inquisitors,

For the location of the Nightfall Scion it is a closely guarded secret as in the case the secret location of the Crimson Capital of the Red Mantis.

However Initiates will be told to meet at a location within the Mindspin Mountains within Nirmathas. Where they will be contacted and brought to the the Nightfall Scion base blindfolded until after their initiation ceremony is done.

The meeting place location is near Kraggodan one of the famous Sky Citadels, strongholds built at the beginning of the Age of Darkness when the dwarves first emerged on Golarion's surface at the culmination of their Quest for Sky. Because of this, the city still has many entrances to the Darklands.

The Nightfall Scion was formed around 3828 AR at the end of the war in the Shining Crusade against the Whispering Tyrant.

Would a were-fox halfling be acceptable. Probably LN but need to check out dieties since I normally avoid those.
Original post says core races only. I would prefer to play a Duergar, but I think I'm gonna have to go dwarf.

Some consider a race, others more like it's similar to class, no harm in asking, you never know the GMs perspective on it.

I'll consider the GMs non-reply as an agreement to your statement though so I will go with Nethys sorc4/inquisiter2 with magic domain. As a god of magic I figure sorc makes a bit of sense, and will advance to mystic theurge eventually. Stealth & combat oriented caster.

I will simply claim that being a follower of the god of magic has perks in the magic dept as a response to any "unfriendly" inquiries.

Learned sorcerer archtype alright?

Yeah, it would be, but because of the Inquisitor requirement, I can't start as a Hellknight, so my main concern is if it is alright if I take my first level in Hellknight (assuming I get in) post-start. And if so, can I just claim the devil-slaying in backstory, or does it need to be done in game?

Ok I see your point. Well to be fair to the others there are 2 solutions to this.

1. You claim to kill the Demon. tell me which demon is it and I will probably place a cursed item on you which follows you for the entire game. This is the burden you have to bear for killing the demon. So you are cursed in view that you can be a Hellknight post game 1st level.

2. Or you resume normal gaming until we encounter a demon which honestly I don know yet when. But I may engineer you to have the killing blow in front of a Hellknight if we make it that far.

I was planning on taking the Animal domain with my cleric (having chosen/shared the Weather domain with my inquisitor level) in order to get an animal companion mount.

In lieu of getting a mount, could I count both of my domains as based off of my cleric+inquis level?
As it stands, my Weather domain is lvl 6 (stacking with inquis), Animal domain is level 5 (not stacking, as inquis only get 1 domain).

i am afraid I am not letting it stack. But you can access it after you levled ingame.

As for the mount, well as mentioned a subsidy of 500Gp will be provided to armor your mount if you have your own mount.

The Exchange

Well I mean I already have it, it's just at -1 level from having that inquisitor level.


Okay, finished backstory, personality and appearance. Let me know what you think, I'd be happy to change anything you don't like DM. Thanks ^_^


D-Kal you can take Boon Companion if you're really worried about it.

The Exchange

Hey that's genius. Thanks.


Building my character sheet now and I thought I'd ask a question that I've never found a satisfactory answer for; when one multiclasses, do your class skills stack? IE will a Monk 1/Inquis 1 have as class skills those of the monk AND those of the inquis, or must you choose one?

I believe it stacks?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Class Skills

"....If you select a level in a new class, all of its class skills are automatically added to your list of class skills, and you gain a +3 bonus on these skills if you have ranks in them."

You get both, no need to choose.


Thank you.

Hi, I think skip Groteus

Not a problem, I will pick one of the martial gods and be mostly a two-handed melee inquisitor.


I have also expressed interest. Though until now I haven't said in what. I'm thinking a half-elf monk 3/inquisitor 3 (Shelyn). A character who loves to dance, enough so that it's effected her fighting style. I should have the crunch and a more detailed background up later tonight.


Sorry- I am Arkwright, should have mentioned. Can take me down from 'expressed interest'.


Working on a gnome Inq 1/ Sor 5. The basics:

Spoiler:
Dignus "Diggy" Burrows, gnome at large.

S 9, D 14, C 14, I 14, W 12, Ch, 19

Inq. spells: 0/ Create Water, Detect Poison, Sift, Brand
1/ CLW, Expeditious Retreat

Deity: Cayden Cailean (fits his cheerful demeanor)

Sor. spells: 0/ Dancing Lights, Det. Magic, Mage Hand, Message, Read Magic, Spark
1/ Burning Hands*, Magic Missile, Mount (A pony! Yay!), Shield, Silent Image

2/ Glitterdust, See Invisibility, Scorching Ray*

* Elemental (earth) Bloodline

He'll wear armor and weapons to look less "sorcerer-y." I'm looking at some "excavation" type spells, but haven't decided, yet.

If this isn't cool, I can try something else. Let me know!


You got me on the list, but not my goddess. I went with Shelyn as my deity. After spending much of her childhood taunted by normal looking human children, she found comfort in a deity that teaches people to embrace their inner beauty.


Expressing my interest. Perhaps an Inquisitor of Irori, perhaps with some Monk and/or Cleric levels too.

Looks fine. Do continue to flesh it out.

I used another alias (Letha) to indicate my interest. This is the submission for the Pharasman Inquisitor

Do fill up a.little background too


Dotting for interest. Was thinking Inquisitor 2/ Cavalier 4 with Gorum as my deity. Will get working on the crunch soon.


Two LE evil cannibals...great. Thought I was being original. :P


Working on equipment and background some more, mostly done though.

Looking at a tank with healing role.


I withdraw from wanting a spot, good luck tho :)


Heeeere's Diggy!

Still working on gear and story, but here's the basics.


Just FYI, I've got some backstory in the profile now, and I've reworked the gear.

Liberty's Edge

Hmmmm, never played an inquisitor before, nor have I played an inquisition style character/game...I think I'll throw in a submission just to see what happens. Maybe a barbar combo or something, I'll have to think about the list so far to fill in the gaps. more to come.

EDIT: thinking a half-orc spellbreaker might be fun. enemy necromancers and mind controllers beware!


This is D-Kal, posting as Terflynn, now complete with animal companion, gear, and a few other minor details.

The Exchange

Does anyone know how mounted combat works, as far as provoking AoO? Like, do both mount & rider provoke while moving through threatened squares? Or just the mount? Or the rider only for one square of the mount? And do ranged attacks or spellcasting provoke while on a mount? For all adjacent squares? That would make casting while mounted considerably more risky than casting on foot.

Also, how do you nest spoilers? Like:

Outer:
*inner spoiler*


I'de submitted one. Granted I dont have a character sheet up yet, but I dont have unlimited time to make a character sheet for every PbP I try join. if that's a hangup though I'll write one for this campaign tonight, he's a NG Human Inquisitor of Torag, full Inquisitor.

Hi Rainydayninja, you might have missed a mount is provided so you don't need to buy one. Also just a passing thought since you worked as a courtesan will consider spacing it to be a female? anyway seems like most submitted are males.


Well, here's a female. Working out the background but the crunch is there. The basic concept (more details to come when I can get it all typed out) is that she loves dance. She got into it through her worship of Shelyn. Eventully she began studying combat and began blending her dancing with her fighting. She loved it so much that she began fighting a lot. She considers combat the ultimate form of dance and as such wishes to perfect her form. This love of fighting lead to her being ostracized Shelyn's other devotees. But the Nightfall Scion saw her love of combat as a great tool, especially for a representative of Shelyn. So they recruited her.

Real quick question, you keep talking about the initiates not knowing where it is, getting bane weapons etc. It seems like your saying we are all just starting at the Nightfall Scion. Is this right? Or should I write about Jade's initiation as well. Also I included the bane weapon already, if we're starting out not part of the initiate, I can get rid of it, just having the +1 weapon.

Edit:I expressed my interest under Runner188


And as far as the mount goes, Jade is skipping it. She prefers her own feet (after long years of dancing), besides she can walk as fast as a pony anyway. Not as fast as a horse yet, but soon.


Don't let the half-orc face fool you, Embrianna is Female too.

Skip the initiation and just do a+1 but start with 13000gps. Yr weapon will be enchanted during the initiation but you may first place the bane weapon in yr character sheet first for simplicity.
