The Root of All Evil

Game Master Edward Sobel

Here.

Also, if we get new people, one way of bringing them is could be that they were kidnapped by the undead witch.

Not a bad idea, tatsuo.

ok I can fit one more but I have two that are interested. any ideas on what would be a good fit?

remember this game is yours just as much as it is mine so don't be afraid to speak up

Also here

who asked and what's their build(s)?

no builds yet they are interested in a gestalt game they are waiting to see what is needed before the build anything

the following players are interested:

Tenro
darksmokepuncher

Tenro is cool. He was at Avalon for a while.
Don't know the other guy.

But he has excellent taste in webcomics
Have them each list what classes they'd like and we'll go from there

trying a new mapping tool for combat can everyone click the link and let me know if you can see it.

clink for map

Was that meant to be a link to our epic slaughter of the ankhegs? If so, then it works.

"You are not connected to any maps"

Ok need to try and fix

Ankheg battle is not yours

Mine just says that I need to log in.

OK try this link then

I can see this one, but it is super glitchy on my phone. >_<
Can someone move me back to where I was? :/

where did you go?

I will have to reload your image when I get home tonight.

OK Mickey I got you back on the map..

OK.
I'm not touching it any more. O_o

I was gonna post a song for that comment but decided against it

Was there a role you specifically needed? Thinking slayer/fighter otherwise.

I think a fighter would be in line. We don't have a dedicated one.
I might suggest half be caster, or you'll be a little behind the curve of everyone else. Alchemist is a good supplement to fighter, with the mutagen and array of buffing extracts.

Yes we do, we got me,
We also have a monk/druid
What we don't have is a sneeky type, we have some healing, but I'm the closest we have to a dedicated one
And I always go barbarian (or wizard or arcanist, in prep for arcane trickster) when I play alchemist (usually also take the drunken brute and vivisectionist archetypes) gestalts, you can basically become the hulk

I was thinking a sneaky guy with some polearm abilities. I might see about a slayer/warpriest if healing is needed, if only to take the burden of healing me from another.

I think it best people really play what the want to play, its all about fun also.

but it is true we don't have any real trap remover in the group.

Hmm, OK. I will see if i can squeeze what you all want and what i want into one character. that said, not sure i can manage all of the above.

If you had to pick one, which would be more needed: trap removal or more healing?

trap removal, healing isn't really nessairy, we have two people who can potentially heal, and I'll get better at that once I get lay on hands next level, not to mention a neer overabundance of melee
maybe an arcane trickster?

trap removal is what the group needs most

Tat I can try to add for ya. but the link in your profile has no file behind it anymore.

Which dragon picture doesn't matter too much, but here is a picture. I'm really not sure why DungeonGrid would be acting up for me though. :/

class types in order of most to least needed, in my opinion pick what you want, anything can potentially useful, and what matters is having fun but given you asked

Looks like I can go Slayer to pick up the first two, and go with Fighter (Polearm Master) to get what I was looking for.

i just wont get trap removal until level 2

Isn't slayer already BAB 1-1 d10 HD?

yes.

i suppose on that note i could change slayer to vanilla rogue, but i am looking for something just a little more supernatural. basically, i am looking for:

using polearms as the main weapon
trapfinding
some supernatural abilities (i guess maybe use rogue talents to get ninja tricks)
improved flanking (comes from fighter archetype)

You could go slayer/inquisitor, and get most of that with much less overlap

Inquisitor doesnt get ANY special ability with polearms, which is a big part of what i am looking for.

Not bad I guess, I just have this negative reaction to overlap/lack of synergy in gestalt, but play what makes you happy I guess

well the increased angles for flanking plus sneak attack is synergy enough for me, reach weapon plus combat reflexes and some tripping ability is always a hoot. plus skirmishing from rogue's Scout archetype will be good.

and i should be able to disarm the traps you all want disarmed, with possible tracking ability at later levels.

Fair enough

GM, is Garuda-Blooded (Plumekith) Aasimar OK for a race? I like the idea of an avian character with wings using a spear to fight, i was planning on taking the Aasimar racial feat that lets me actually fly with the wings (whenever i can fit it in).

Character will be Chaotic Good

@ Tenro: sounds good

Given you're a fighter with all your bonus feats, I figure you're good on feets
Thoug there is a fly speed alternate racial trait

Hmm, i don't see it. I see a 20ft (poor) option under the variant abilities, but you gotta ask the GM to roll on that table, and most of the abilities aren't that great.

Also i am thinking about that feat that makes your feathers metal, because how cool is THAT?!

Not mechanically all that good, 2 secondary dagger esque attacks, not if it came with a shield bonus, then it'd be worth it mechanically, though non-mechanically it's pretty cool

yeah, just re-read the feats. can't get flight from the wings until 10th level.

also cant get metallic wings without taking like 3 other feats that aren't good at all.

GM, would it be alright to take the following feat: Fiendish Heritage, but modify it for Aasimar? For some reason i couldnt find a "Celestial Heritage" feat. basically, i can pick one of the abilities from the d100 table, and then roll 3 times and pick an ability from one of the 3 i rolled. It would use the Aasimar's d100 table instead of the Tiefling's d100 table

I was kinda assuming that we were waiting on Tenro before we did combat, as he's just being dropped in as part of the party, I think. That's what we did for other people at least.

I thought he was going to be a captive of the witch, like he was one of the heirs but he got greedy or anxious/impatient and went by himself,

Tenro's character, mostly done. Just need to pick feats, which hinges upon whether i can pick that heritage feat or not.

EDIT: probably need to pick some secondary weapons as well

heritage feat is OK

alright. gonna take that feat, just gotta pick my fighter feat.

picked one trait, are we taking a campaign trait for the other or are you assigning one?

for my feat, picking #99 (fly speed 20ft poor) and choose the best of below

1d100 ⇒ 50 <- +2 WIS
1d100 ⇒ 55
1d100 ⇒ 18

done
