The Third Great Elemental War (Inactive)

Game Master BigP4nda

@Nolath alright was just curious.

I know I said I was going to announce the first player on Monday, I lied in 2 instances: 1) I am late, was waiting on aliases and looking over bios and crunch as well as juggling life, sorry. and 2) I am going to be announcing TWO players! Just couldn't decide between the two, so yeah.

Unlike other DMs as I have noticed, I will also give you my reasoning for picking the players I picked, those who end up not being picked don't take these reasons as your lack thereof, I put a lot of thought into the ones I pick and though you may not have been picked it is most likely because you lost but just a itsy bitsy hair, stay encouraged and shoot for more opportunities! Who knows I may need replacements down the line.

AND the not one but two first-choice players ARE:

*drumroll*

I will have the discussion thread open by tomorrow. The rest of you KEEP AT IT! You have until the 30th, where I will pick the remaining 2 or 3 players.

Congrats Nolath and Burns! ^_^

I am now completely updated and excited to be chosen. Bring on the 30th.

I'm thrilled to have been accepted! Thank you so much for the opportunity to play what is probably my favorite character concept of all time.
Best of luck to the other applicants down the road!

Congrats to both of you.

@BigP4nda - thank you for committing to justifying your selections. This would be something that I would love to see in every recruitment. Provided acknowledgment to the selected players' hard work when creating the characters, AND helps answer the question everyone has immediately after selections, "Why wasn't I picked?".

Anxious to see who will join them!

aye, congratulations to the both of you!

Even if that means I'm likely out.(You're an arcane caster, and a melee...I'm an arcane caster/melee).

Do enjoy the game though ^_^

Congrats Nolath and Burns! And I agree with Baru's comments.

Campaign Info is UP! enjoy :)

Will be adding more as the days go by, the most important stuff is there though.

is there still place foe me to jump in?

Of Course!

is there still place foe me to jump in?

The more the merrier! ^_^

oh im so glad this is still open lol i have been dieing to try pbp :) and it stats at lv one which is good lol so i'll probably roll up a character ^^

Rolls: 20d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 4, 5, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 1, 6, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2, 6, 4) = 79

6's=5
5's=5
4's=8
3's=2

re-rolls: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 6) = 20
lol hope i did this right

edit: nice two more 6's and 4's

not quite sure what to create just yet i'll think of something though

Hey there! The campaign seems interesting ^^
Are you still accepting additional applications?

Yes, until the 30th

Yes, until the 30th

Awesome. Admittedly, this is my first day on the site so I just noticed the "30th" deadline after I posted, lol.

Given that fact, I am still kind of learning my way around here, so any guidelines or assistance is appreciated. For now, I'm assuming the way to go is just roll all the dice here on this thread, put together my character sheet/backstory, throw it all onto my profile, and let you know when it's finished? owo;

That pretty much sums it up, make sure to stay within the guidelines presented (which aren't much) make sure you read through the recruitment thread for I have posted some additional rules and amendments to the original guidelines throughout the thread. If you have any questions feel free to post them here or shoot me a PM.

Okay, here goes nothin'!:
20d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 5, 5, 6, 2, 3, 3, 2, 5, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4) = 66

Rerolls:
7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 4) = 25
1d6 ⇒ 1
1d6 ⇒ 3

Geez, not as good as I would have liked, but I'll make it work somehow I suppose ^^

(2 Sixes) 6 6
(6 fives) 5 5 5 5 5 5
(5 fours) 4 4 4 4 4
(7 threes) 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

Edit!
I remember back on the first page seeing someone who rolled similar stats as I have, and you allowed them to switch a few 3's to 4's. May I do the same? I know it's on a case-by-case basis so worries if not ^^

Also, just a quick rules question: Would the Zen Archer Monk Archetype apply to firearms under your ruleset?

@Inalynn,change two 3's to 6's and one 3 to a 4.

I am going to have to say no to zenslinger unfortunately. That's not how the class was intended to be played.

Awesome, thank you.

And 100% understood on the "zenslinger" idea, haha. I was just brainstorming ideas, and it was one of the sillier ones that I wasn't really too interested in.

I'm planning on playing a character I've been developing for some time now, and she's always just been played as a base gunslinger. I'm trying to figure out what her other half would be, flavor-wise. I'm leaning toward either Inquisitor or Slayer.

Also, I have another question, link for reference: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/featured-races/arg-tiefling

Hypothetically, if I were going to go down a dual-wielding/TWF build, would I be able to use the tiefling's Prehensile Tail ability to hold onto my gun/bullets, allowing her to reload as a free action (given an advanced Pistol and Rapid Reload)?

Edit!
Also, how important is Weight/Carrying capacity? Should everything be tracked, or is it on a "within reason" basis?

i think i have a slightly cool idea lol, but was thinking a Undead lord cleric Zen archer, would that be ok or no? lol want to know before working on it :)

i'm not familiar with gestalt can someone quickly explain me? I hope it is not a problem I really love the campaign's concept

Gestalt Rules
The rules can be found here ^^

Edit!
In summary, you'll be playing two classes simultaneously, taking the best stats (HD, Skills, Saves, etc) between them, and the class features and spells/abilities of both.

@Inalynn you could still reload as a free action even without the tail. You could certainly use the tail for flavor if you would like. There are plenty of ways to reload two pistols in style, and I assume your character would be able to do that.

Weight/Capacity is going to be "within reason"

I certainly won't argue with that! :3

Speaking of rules pertaining to gunslingers, do you use the "Daring Act" optional rule--the one that briefly translates to "if the gunslinger does something awesome enough to impress the DM, they recieve a Grit point"?

Other than that, I have my character's numbers and such all put together, I just need to look into the Gunslinger/Inquisitor vs Gunslinger/Slayer internal debate one last time to make sure I'm happy with it. I like the neat tricks Inquisitor can do (like WIS to initiative and such), but a lot of their abilities are once-per-day things and so Slayer seems a lot more practical, and it doesn't seem like we're really hurting for another 1/3 divine caster.

I do need to speak with you in PMs soon though to put my backstory together. I have a basic outline of what it is, but given the new campaign, some details (such as specific places and events) will need to be changed to fit your world/lore.

The updated Ikari is ready but I am going to continue to massage fluff until the 30th.

Here is my entry into this foray Jonuli Mudarch. I plan on going Dragon Disciple with him and possibly the dimensional agility chain. He's meant to be a mage killer rather than a front line fighter. The deep strike.

I still need to gear him and choose spells.

really? You certain?

After the two picks already announced are a Bloodrager/Paladin Melee guy and a Mindchemist/Wizard Arcane Caster.

Plus I'm Sorcerer/Brawler that announced to go Dragon Disciple/Brawler.

So, yeah, I think I had slim chances beforehand considering the existing picks, but it kind of surprises me you would duplicate this, at this time, rather hopeless entry with your own :)

I've been working on it since the beginning and decided not to change what I was doing. I probably won't get in but at least I threw my hat in.

cheers to that, since I think we sit in the same boat here :)

I still think both of you have a chance. Heck, the group could have all arcane casters for all we know. It all depends on what the GM decides.

I wouldn't assume or call anything hopeless until BigP4nda actually makes those decisions. Anyway it looks like the GM is going to have a lot on their plate... Only three more days to go! Good luck everyone! ^_^

Stat Pool: 20d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 1, 2, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 6, 6, 5, 2, 5, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3) = 67

Not sure where this is going, but it's going somewhere that has Craft(Glass)

Sweet to say. Yes, of course, there is a chance. I suppose it depends on the number of spots GM intends to fill.

@Raphael, yeah as long as you are either evil or insane.

well, a lot of 3's and 4's i guess

how does it influences the campaign if we choose to be an iffrit? aaaaand an Undead Iffrit? that was my idea lol.. I just read ALL the recruitment thread but i'm still a bit loss for what we have to give up in order to take a template (see undead one)

I changed Ikari to be perceived as Lawful Evil in Alban but would consider to be Lawful Neutral on Kasath. Really, it should be Chaotic Good or Neutral but Monks are required to be Lawful so I did not want to sidetrack from that.

@Stoned in Zion, I will regrettably have to say no to being undead, unless you choose vampire template, the only other way would be to either become a lich, or you could die and have some random necro raise you, though you wouldn't be in control of your character.

@Ikari, that's fine, idk if you knew about it, but there is a trait that let's the monk ignore the lawful restriction. EDIT scratch that, it's an aasimar trait

@Stoned in Zion, go ahead and change two 3's to 5's and one 4 to a 6

Thanks! i nearly finished my character sheet for an ifrit Illusionist/Knife Master rogue

Wow, my GM irl just recently made an NPC with that exact combo.

lol i hope you will like it :) is it a problem if i link you via myth-weavers my character sheet?

Exciting! Been waiting a month to get the results of "the reaping". Only 2 days to go!

Good Luck to all.

I would prefer for you to make an alias, you may still have your sheet on myth-weavers, but it's easier for me to keep track of your aliases

Also I want to say this now: While the deadline is on the 30th, I most likely will not be able to post result until either the 1st or 2nd. The new Avengers movie comes out and I am seeing the premiere showing @ 8 on the 30th, so my night is taken up :P I will mostly spend my day frantically shifting between characters pulling my hair out to decide just which few I will somehow settle with. Until then keep up the good work!

I would still like to see submissions from those who have expressed interest but haven't finished their characters.

I have a similar engagement and it is a double feature of 1 and 2 ... :-)

There is also a Mythic Feat that allows this too but that is currently out of scope since I haven't been chosen {yet - crosses fingers}, nor do we start off as mythic characters, nor is it a Tier 1 feat ... LOL

ok will do an Alias then :D

I am an archer, just deciding second side. So many options, but glass arrows is my gimmick
