Isaac, I really like that swinging reposition ability. It fits our characters well. I wish there were a way to get it with Alabaster.
you could always do a 2 level dip into rogue pirate
Nah, this guy is all planned out. He's going to be a beast at level 9.
Thank you, Alabaster. It would be interesting to try out. I think that, looking at the wording, I am able to make charges and bull rushes on ships without going in a straight line. Shame that it can't be received without taking the pirate rogue archetype.
Also, nice character development in your post, Alabaster.
I'm considering, take the word loose here, to take a few levels in swashbuckler along the way, no more than 5.
Could be interesting. Swashbucklers are focused on charisma. You would be a less effective bard. But, you would have panache, which does give you some added benefits. And a bonus feat. As well as other abilities. It's your choice.
If you do decide to take swashbuckler, consider the musketeer, picaroon, or corsair archetypes.
The musketeer archetype doesn't offer many changes. It gives you the addition of muskets.
The picaroon archetype allows the addition of one handed firearms. For example, at level 2, you gain weapon finesse with light or one handed piercing weapons, as well as the benefit if two weapon fighting when you wield a light or one handed piercing weapon in one hand and a one handed firearm in the other hand. Though, this might step on Alabaster's toes.
The corsair archetype, in my opinion, is optimal for this campaign. For example, you gain bonuses to intimidate (particularly, with demoralize) and give yourself and your allies bonuses to sailor checks. You also gain other benefits. Though, to receive the full changed benefits, you would to, at least, go to level 7 in swashbuckler.
I've not yet multiclassed in any game, but with the past flow of rolls, i'm feeling a need for more survivability.
In terms of Fortitude, the swashbuckler has slow progression for fortitude. It's saves are like the rogue's; fortitue and will don't get any increase until level 3.
Again, your choice and it could work as an interesting build. The panache and deeds can work to your favor.
Or do what I am doing at level three and take amateur swashbuckler.
I think he is also looking at getting more hp per level.
And BAB

Ah, those are indeed nice. I didn't want to sacrifice sacred weapon or spell progression.
Don't blame you. Hard to give up. A couple level splash in swashbuckler does have some significant melee bonuses though. Need combat reflexes with it, imo.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Aye, but my dex bonus is a mere +2, still everything is welcome.
You'll want to invest in +Dex item then.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Yeah, combat reflexes or high dex is almost mandatory for swashbucklers.
To come back on the question earlier GM, can i take a bard archetype still?
So, Edward, what archetype did you take?
Soundstriker, it gives my performance some 'sting' to it, lvl 6 on especially.
It's an archetype that won't mess too much with vanilla bard.
So likely expect some sonic spells aside from enchantment, which i'm aiming for as main focus.
I'm thinking of further progress, feedback's always welcome:
Lvl 3 Bard
Lvl 4 Swashbuckler
Lvl 5 Swashbuckler
Lvl 6 Bard onwards
Ar' we still bein' here?
What, and abandon Sandara and loot? Never ^^
Aye, I be here. This damned rope be gettin' a bit heavy too. I be about ta jus' swing over like a monkey, see?
Sorry guys. Been a long day.
Hey, sorry. I'll get a post in tomorrow.
So did we fail on making sure no one got the escape boat?
If they got away, then that means they took us with them. :/
That'd be hard to explain to Harrigan.
"Yeah cap, they took the boat and two of our crew and got hell outta here..."
You guys jumped in after em, they can't row away when fighting.
Everyone have a good and safe Easter weekend! (If you celebrate that particular holiday, if not, then just have a good weekend anyway! :) )
Having a great Passover here... wishing those who celebrate anything this time of year a wonderful holiday.
Happy somewhat belated Easter to all!
Just a quick update on my status:
My father in law is having triple bypass surgery on Tuesday. I will be on the road traveling on Monday, at the hospital on Tues. and perhaps home by Thurs or Fri. depending on his recovery. During that time, I will be posting but times and frequency may be weird or spotty. My apologies in advance.
No problem, Arhiel. You take care of your father in law.
Can't wait to see what happens to Alabaster and Isaac.
Aren't impetuous youths fun to roleplay?
Yeah, it is. But, Isaac jumped into the boat after Alabaster... or we can say he's very dedicated to his job.
Arr. Ar' we still bein' here?
I really hope so
Aye, i'm waiting for the moment to get Sandara romanced properly after all.
Erm, surviving comes first, of course.
Here!
Here but on a retreat after dealing with father in law's illness, which is still an ongoing issue.
Ok, we're all here. Has anyone tried to pm the gm? I can if no one else wants to. I'm pretty sure he's in one of my society games anyway.
