Would you have any objection to house ruling a sorcercer bloodline power?
Not much more than fluff and RP. I would like to replace the 1st level bloodline power with the 1st level wizard teleportation subschool power.
give up:
Arcane Bolt (Sp): Starting at 1st level, you can unleash a ray of magic force as a standard action, targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. This ray deals 1d4 points of damage + 1 for every two sorcerer levels you possess. This damage is treated as a spell of a level equal to half your sorcerer level, and is a force effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. This bloodline power replaces arcane bond.
replace with:
Shift (Su): At 1st level, you can teleport to a nearby space as a swift action as if using dimension door. This movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You must be able to see the space that you are moving into. You cannot take other creatures with you when you use this ability (except for familiars). You can move 5 feet for every two wizard levels you possess (minimum 5 feet). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
Character is a tiefling and it fits the flavor of the character, alas none of the sorcerer bloodlines have anthing similar. Can't see how this would be out of balance with the existing power, but it would have to be DM'd discretion. Thank you
Sorry don't want to get into house ruling to much as it tends to blow up in my face. Going to stick to the rule books posted.

I present Ali ibn Sabbah. Barbarian turned Rogue, tomb raider... good hearted and dangerously curious. Mechanically, Barbarian 25%/Rogue (Trapsmith) 75%.
Son of a Sheban nomad chieftain, Ali was not the strong and hearty heir his father had hoped for. He had too much of his mother in him. A hopeless romantic who wanted nothing more that to "believe"! With grace and charm to spare, Ali struck out on his own.
In a larger city his grace, charm and intelligence would allow him to thrive. Before he knew it, he was a member of a local network of young thieves claiming a right to survival. Pick pockets and spies, they weren't the violent cut-throat types... but shrewd old souls.
Escape meant leaving home and traveling, eventually to Greece. He stumbled upon a merchant conglomerate (or they stumbled upon him, the account is unclear) who instantly identified his potential and inducted him. He was very young and ran all manner of errand and did all manner of chore the older more tenured members did not care for. They did not ask him or tell him too, he just did and ingratiated himself.
Proving himself, he's been assigned missions as part of his experience, training and development... finally returning "home", only to find the docks occupied and the merchant fleet burnt to the ground. In seeking answers and evading occupying forces, he's come to find himself at the Temple of Hera and so, the adventure begins.
Are we OK with the >>> linkified >>> Dervish Dance Combat Feat?
sorry no 3rd party
The adventure takes place on Glorantha. See campaign tab it breaks it down for you. So there is no Egypt but there is a fantasy version of the country. Wati is a desert city with a Necropolis but your history works fine.
If I am selected, may I please be in Akina's group. She was nice enough to stick up for me, Dervish Dance and all.
Thanks, and thanks!
Apologies about the Egypt thing. Background was crafted for a historically based adventure Egypt/Greece.
But, I the player was born in Cairo. Not that it matters.

APPEARANCE :
Tyro has a dull grey fur with dark black stripes along his body much like a tiger. His eyes a emerald green seems always full of joy and laughter his clothing normally consists of a sleeveless black shirt, underneath is his armor which sinks into his soft fur slightly. He has a pair of brown leather gloves on his hands with the ends of the fingers snipped off so his strong claws can be free and used as his primary weapon; Around his waist is a simple belt with a metal clasp with his shirt tucking underneath the belt into his black leather pants he bought a larger size then he was so they are loose letting his legs have more movement for running. Wrapped around his ankle and up his thigh are bandages that his pants are pinned into with smaller belts with metal clasps. He has a hole of course in the back of his pants at waist level to let his tail swish outward, near the end of his tail is a light metal ring given to him by a girl he was in love with so its very special to him (to him a ring on the tail is much like a promise ring) his ears have a pair of gold bands in them near the bottom of the ears. Across his face is a faded scar from a run in with some bandits. The fur never grew back there so it’s very noticeable and he takes pride in it and gets angry when someone laughs or mocks it (same goes for the ring around on his tail). His hair is a dark black like the stripes on his body, and its grown out a lot so he keeps it bound and back in a messy ponytail.
PERSONALITY/BACKGROUND
Born in a simple hunting village in Varisia, the town was so small it didn’t even have a name, instead the residences just called it Home. There a family had a new addition one day his name was Tyro Valen, instead of being born screaming he was born laughing and his parents called gave him the nickname Little Cayden. His family consisted of his mother Mina Valen, his Father Dairen Valen, and Tyros’ older brother Kale Valen. They were a very happy family together, and as Tyro grew older he went under a few changes, his claws were razor sharp almost like small daggers on his hand and after a incident with the doors in the house they sent him to the village elder who took the boy in to train him how to use his claws, for the elder himself had the same gift as young Tyro. That’s where tyro began his training and developed many great skills, learning animal and humanoid vital parts to take down prey fast. It was also where he met Rose Vreed the chieftains’ granddaughter. The two fell in love and when Tyro wasn’t training he was with Rose. Years later after Tyro’s training was complete, it was the talk of the town that no doubt Tyro would be the new village elder and marry Rose, but fate likes to twist things around nothing can really end up being as simple as that, and so The elder decreed that to marry Rose Tyro had to achieve great fame, or defeat a creature of incredible might to be proven worthy by the gods. Tyro with is constant good mood attitude simply laughed and agreed. He promised Rose he would return and that he would always remain faithful to her. Rose returned his words and gave him a metal ring for his tail knowing the two would be reunited again. Soon after Tyro left the village and traveled far and wide earning money as a guide and scout for different groups, hes faced quite a few challenges along the way from bandits to lesser fiends, but in his eyes nothing that could prove he was worthy in the eyes of the elder and the gods that watch over his village.. He still searches to this day for the thing to prove his worth always with a smile on his face and a bounce in his step, he knew nothing would stand in his way.
Tyro is a very upbeat person, and also very hyperactive and occasionally he comes off a bit annoying, sometimes asking the same question over and over. But he has a good heart and willing to protect others no matter what it takes. That’s tyro Valen the Catfolk Rogue (Scout & Survivalist archetypes)
Was just being neighborly.
"The Chosen of the Elements" are looking for two more adventurers:
1) a divine caster with some healing power!
2) a supporty type!
Who are we? A party of four elemental-touched adventurers who are in
Tayvara Flamescorpion, an Ifrit sorcerer.
Ayedan Slipstream, a Sylph rogue.
Faffnir Fireborn, an Ifrit swashbuckler.
Askaya Farar, an Oread fighter.
Being an elemental-kind is not a prerequisite, but it would be awesome of course. We're missing a Suli and an Undine, but feel free to play any race you want! PM me or post here if you want to discuss things further!
Hmm. I've always wanted to play a geniekin. I'll see what I can do. :D
Not that anyone will miss me... But, sorry folks, got accepted into a story-heavy game.
Think I will focus on that for a bit. Best of luck, everyone!
See you on the boards.
It's quite interesting phrasing all of Gin's words so that he makes no promises as well as having a desire to know what's happening whenever possible.
Would there be an issue if I were to switch my lvl 1 spells for lock gaze and magic missile?
Oh goodie! =^^=
I haven't =)
Nope. Never played
I might not be most leathal. But oath vs undead helps a lot
"Chosen of the Elements"
1) Ayedan Slipstream, Sylph Rogue
2) Tayvara Flamescorpion, Ifrit Sorcerer
3) Faffnyr, Ifrit Swashbuckler
4) Askaya Farar, Oread Fighter
5) El Ronza, Undine Cleric (not yet submitted, but should be submitted soon *tm*)
6) Michaelane, Oread Summoner (not yet submitted, soon *tm*?)

Very nice!
Our resident Spiritual guider has arrived
If you don't think it is too much work. The main workload as a pbp GM is in the preparation. Readying the battle maps, NPCs and all that stuff. I've seen more GMs run multiple instances of the same campaign all at once so it should be doable :)
|
|
Added benefit: in case people drop out from both groups you can merge them into one.
Very true. So I am accepting both teams and will just setup another campaign thread. Should have it up later tonight. I have to setup some book keeping stuff so I can track both teams and not get mixed up. But otherwise The Scions and Elementals are in. Just finish any final touches on your characters.
whoohhoooo! We're going on an adventure!
okay, to my team :
Is there anything i may need to change for Anapa? that you would rather him have?
And he is created :)
Wait... I'm a hound... Who here is a blond male? IC, im a blondish male IRL :P
Excellent, would the parties meet at any point?
|

I was thinking about that. But the issue is that it would mean creating an entirely new dungeon and parallel set of areas so that the parties could interact from time to time at end of the day. let me look over the adventure and see if it is possible. But most likely it won't happen. Even with the extra areas built you would still only run into each other at the end of the day. So I really don't think it would be useful.
And cross thread can get confusing
whoohhoooo! We're going on an adventure!
I had to laugh out loud so much at this my wife had to ask why.
The first campaign I ran, I had a DMPC employer of the party that was and old man that took up being a wizard at 70. He always wanted to be an adventurer but his family would never let him. So what you said is an exact quote of what he kept saying as they left Absolom to explore outside the city. He was very naive and excited.
