101 to 131 of 131 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | next > last >>

In 2 hours I create profile, with first draft of character for comments.


Draft here.

No equipment, though definitely daggers.

Some missing small details still missing. Basic background (incomplete).


Dire Merc, here is Storyteller Shadows' submission complete!

Zoren Valkith Tiefling Magus Blade Bound - tortured soul concept. He has a bit of Elric without the invincibility and Godlike powers of that particular icon.

Questions...

(1) Is wordcasting available?
(2) If so, how will Samsaran's Mystic Past Life interact with it?

@Merc I believed this got missed. Also, wordcasting=words of power magic variant if it comes off vague.


I did miss that, I'm not familiar with any word of power varient in pathfinder I will need to look into it. Is it third party?

Grand Lodge

Words of power is paizo related.

Grand Lodge

Question, Conjuration [calling/summoning] Magic doesn't work because the last seal prevents it right? What happens if we summon something before we enter the area? Does the critter not get sent back when the spell ends or is it not able to enter at all?


It cannot return to were it came but when the spell ends you no longer control it.


Duskade is now "complete" with gear.

@DireMerc, please check for acceptance.

Hopefully not forgotten anything, if so do tell me. If something done incorrectly also tell me. I did try to take traits, feats, extra to match up with background and chosen career.

Note on alignment: Given alignment as LE due to being an assassin though with honour code to be upheld. When not doing assignments she tends to be more neutral alignment. She has no greed for power or huge wealth, living a simple life with her master, enjoying peace and tranquility.

Grand Lodge

@Merc Link is above if you are having trouble finding it.


It seems interesting but gonna pass on wordcasting for now since I don't have time to learn the system.

Not super fond of LE but I trust you wont start stabbing other party members in the back. I'll approve Duskade the Wayang since we don't have a rogue atm.

Ynthar Icerunner looks interesting approved because he amuses me.

Zoren Valkith is approved as well just go in a separate group from Valoren Calmoren since i'd rather not have two magus in the same group.

That makes 10 approved. 2 more at most.


I'll be working on my character today if I can find some time.


Thanks Dire, I'll get an introduction post up later today.


Thanx. I sure the party members' backs are safe. Well, unless someone paid her to assassinate one, with valid reasoning for qualification to be assassinated.


If we only have one trapfinder I could modify myself to do traps as well.


@DireMerc Since we haven't actually gotten started as yet, I changed Extra Ki for Weapon Focus (unarmed). I want to hit things back..lol.

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32

I've had a crazy busy weekend but I'll check back this evening and if there's still a slot or two I'll build my theurge real quick.

Grand Lodge

Okay. Will be making my character today.


let's roll some dice

HP1: 1d10 ⇒ 1 -- re-roll
HP1: 1d10 ⇒ 9
HP2: 1d10 ⇒ 7
HP3: 1d10 ⇒ 2
HP4: 1d10 ⇒ 6
HP5: 1d10 ⇒ 9
HP6: 1d10 ⇒ 9
HP7: 1d10 ⇒ 3
HP8: 1d10 ⇒ 10
HP9: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Above average


Is the background skills system in use or not?


9d8 ⇒ (8, 3, 8, 7, 8, 8, 4, 2, 7) = 55 I did not know we could roll for hp. Welp, I always enjoy leaving myself to dice god mercy. Lets see what they give!


Placeholder image. Fluff and crunch incoming.

HP if going full spellcaster route: 9d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 5, 3, 4, 6, 5, 4) = 34
HP if going partial spellcaster route: 9d8 ⇒ (2, 6, 8, 4, 3, 7, 7, 2, 3) = 42


This is Nate's submission... or will be, I'm going to purge it right after I post and then start repopulating it as an emberkin aasimar wizard [exploiter] 5/inquisitor [living grimoire] 1/mystic theurge 4.

hp: 6 + 8d6 + 1d8 ⇒ 6 + (3, 3, 1, 3, 4, 1, 3, 2) + (3) = 29
reroll 1s: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
well, 36... that's still noticeably below average, but at least not as bad as the first roll...any chance I could just take the PFS average? (43)

Ynthar:

Ynthar grew up as the son of a father who died at sea, his father was a great Skald leading his Ulfen raiding party to new waters. His father’s raiding party was doomed to never return, in time his mother was to be married off to one of the apprentice black smiths for their clan. His mother would have none of it, she gathered all his father’s items and they fled south.

His mother took him to Jol, then from Jol they booked passage to the Crusader capital of the Inner sea, Last Wall. Once they arrived in Last Wall his mother pledged her alliance to the throne and her son to the Throne. She knew that doing this was much better than anything she would have gotten from her old tribe. A young Ynthar had just been pledged to the crusaders who fought the orcs daily.

In time, he came to understand his gift, he came to know all manners of weapons and armor. He started at the back of the army serving the archers and resupplying the arrows and helping them move when the need arose. He always carried his horn with him, it was one that his father had made for him prior to his final journey. In time Ynthar learned from his commanders that the men need to be inspired, they need to have that beast inside of them awoken so they could match the ferocity of the Orcs. Once he returned to the keep he spoke with his aging mother about how and why his father was so sought after for raiding parties. His mother told him the tale of the Skald, how the ancients allowed music to fill a man with rage and it allowed him to fight harder and longer than any other man normally could.

Over time his superiors learned that Ynthar could be more than just an arrow fetcher. He had a gift to inspire the men like he was told of a year before, he was attached to a squad of heavy infantry and told to keep them alive and to help them break though the left flank. After the battle, all the unit had survived and Ynthar was told by the men and women that they had never known they could fight like that. After this battle was kept with the same squad for a long while, eventually he became a center piece to the Last Wall army that held their northern most castle. He held the standard for the army and had a new horn that helped the men and women fight like the orcs they were keeping at bay.


Well, I'm out of time tonight... I think I have enough done for you to get a pretty good idea of the character; if nobody fills the final slots tonight or in the morning I'll keep working on him as soon as I can.


Please allow me to introduce Illithial. This entry is from Skorn.

Appearance:

Dressing in greens and greys, Ilithial is tall and lean, even for an elf. His fine wizard robes are usually covered by a drab forest cloak. His raven black hair is long and pulled back in a single knot. It is not yet touched by age. Unlike most elves he sports facial hair in the form of a goatee . His skin it wrinkle free; his face is ageless. His eyes shine a green of new spring grass and belies the serious expression he seems to always wear. He is seldom seen without his friend and companion Shimmer, an Azata Lyrakien. Shimmer is a tiny female of human shape except for her butterfly wings. Her only garment is a gossamer veil that nearly fails to hide anything but seems to do so more by making an observer look away embarrassed than by any actual covering. Shmmer is perfectly proportioned for her size and absolutely stunning to look at. Modesty seems unknown to her but her innocence usually seems to disarm any cause for concern.

personality:

Stoic and loyal, Ilithial is a vigilant watchmen of the politics of men. He was old in the standards of men when their current kings were born and has long watched Brevoy and her neighbors vie for land. He has a heart for justice and the patience of a long lived race. He is slow to trust but quick to give a chance. He works hard to protect the interests of the elves and fey. Often mistaken for being too serious, he loves music and laughs with close friends. He seems especially close to Shimmer and depends on her to remind him of things like social graces and diplomacy. Its not that is does not care about such things, its just that they often get in the way of expediency.

motivation:

Always a dutiful son of the elves, Ilithial works for their interests, but has a strong dislike for undead and will take every chance presented to end them.

background:

Ilithial hails from the Great Woods of Kyonin to the south. Trained in the formal arcane academies of his people he has become an accomplished wizard. Content in his academies after years of leading explorations to the ruins of the jungles to the south, he still keep his eyes and ears turned to the people of Brevoy and its surrounds. Now his council of elders has come to him and asked him to lend his expertise to this new cause to put down a threat to the lands.

Party Role:

I see Ilithial and his familiar working to gather to be source of arcane information for the party. He is well versed in most knowledge skills and has a high skill in spellcraft. He is a versatile wizard that has a high initiative and cab blast with the best of wizards. His familiar has a complementary skill set, being good at charisma based skills where he is weak.

In conflicts the wizard will focus on blasting buffing, and some battlefield control.


Illithial will be accepted.
