Sure, I'll bite.
Let me get something together.

Shadow Lodge

Oh and Sky-Captain Henry Klemp? About your Ship of Dolls- you are an absolute genius.


I'm definitely dotting this for interest and I'll work something up. I have to agree Sky-Captain Henry Klemp is a marvelous character. Truly he is a gnome among gnomes with his ingenuity and outside the box thinking.


And unfortunately is not what I am looking for. Granted, extremely creative but too flawed for me to accept. May he sail into successes somewhere beyond this.

Shadow Lodge

Awwwwwww.....


Yes Sorry to Say The mad Sky-Captain Henry Klemp is heading off into the skys my lads. But not to worry I'm working on a new PC :) hehe.
15th level lets you do so much more.


Note sticking with Summoner 15L just try some other


So here she is, the bear bones and Im still working on her.

Sol-Alar De Xin Min Summoner (Synthesist L15) Tracker/Hunter.

The idea is simple She hunts and has a Synthesist that relentlessly dos just that, It swims, Climes, Flys, digs, Teleport's, to get to what it seeks.


Im a first-timer for play by post, but experienced table top player of pathfinder, 4.0 d&d, m&m, Shadowrun. i have a Human(ulfen) 5th lvl ranger(beast master)/ 10th lvl pathfinder delver. if needed just let me know.
James A.K.A. Aleksander Dragonbane


Ok she just about done but I want to make a custom weapon for her, a set of Gloves. Ill work them out and put them on the PC sheet GM

Is this still going to happen?


Waiting on more submissions.


I do not mean to be rude GM but if you free up the gold spend you may get mor lurkers in. Thats just my point of view.

Shadow Lodge

Gold spend has been fine so far for me. What problems are you having with the limits?


Well I think my point is this, and I do hope the GM dos not take this the wring way, but my PC is a Summoner (Synthesist L15) with natural weapons, you can see how 72,000 gold in wands alone could be a bit much, especially when do you no use them as your main weapon in combat, a monk would have the same problem. It kind penalises some PCs types. I hope you can see my point.

And I quot -

Weapons 30% 72000gp:
This includes normal, masterwork, and magic weapons, as well as magic staves and wands used by spellcasters to harm their enemies. For example, a wand of scorching ray would count as a weapon, but a staff of life would count as a piece of magic gear.

Nothing that can help any one with natural weapons, thats why I am having to make a Magic item to fill this role, That's ok as its fun but still.

Shadow Lodge

Hmm you have a point....

Maybe try persuading the GM to allow those magic items that boost natural attacks to come under the weapon budget?


Monks should have no problems at all making the spend. My 13th level monk has weapons to her budget and that wasn't hard to do at all.

This is forcing you to act as you otherwise would. Just go with it or get denied access. The bounds on creation are tight, tight, tight.


Thats fine GM I love making new stiff and the idea I have is a device has poison sacreation on to the claws.

I am thinking some thing like this

Potio Gauntlets:

Potio Gauntlets, Positioning Gauntlets

The Potio Gauntlets on a thought of command
(by the wearer) Sacreat one of a number of Pre-loaded poisons on the the hands or Claws of the wearer, making a unarmed or natural attack deliver a poison attack as well. Only Contact or Injury poison can be used in the Potio Gauntlets. To not poison its wearer the Potio Gauntlets gives the wearer Immunity to the Poison Sacreated only (never more than one). (That Poison only, as with the Ion Stone)

The poison can be any one of a number of toxins in 6 slots. Max dose per slot 10.
Sacreating poison is always a full round action of the Gauntlets.
If the poison is changed the previous one is lost, this change is
a always a full round action, a poison once Sacreated if not used is lost after 6 Min (or when the poison states it is lost after application if before that time). A Sacreated poison can be lost at any time as a free action.

Immunity to the Poison Sacreated
Poison Sacreation Abiulty

Poison Sacreation

Type poison (contact); Save Fortitude DC 22
Onset 1 minute; Frequency 1/minute for 6 minutes

3 Black Lotus Extract x 2

Ok that should help me get started. If That alchemist guy from the other thread is not still around I will gladly take up alchemist. I'm thinking either Alchemist(mindchemist/vivisectionist)/Ninja. or perhaps just straight Alchemist. He's mostly fill the buff and skill monkey role but if I go straight alchemist I'll drop vivisectionist and be a bomb madman.


The Idea of Sol-Alar De Xin Min is that shes a hunting tank, with an AC of 51 and a combined HP of 200+ shes fine but for doing PD shes far more targeted, With magic claws, and Toxins. been looking for ones other than poisons, I think this is lacking in Pathfinder at the moment. As a hunter she can go any place to find her quarry.

"Sol-Alar De Xin Min" Is a 1st world saying meaning "The Hunter of things"


Bada-bing.


Need to work on the weapon some more


Maslen, what are your thoughts on content in the Advanced Races Guide? Assuming we stick to the Core Races, that is.


Let me read into this arvo and post a reply. I will make a selection of players this weekend.


So I'd say the alchemist guy backed out then. I'm still in for my alchemist. I will know whether he will be ninja as well after another PBP game goes through selection. He's currently in there as Alchemist/Ninja so If i get chosen I'm going bomb alchemist here. If not then it'll be Alchemist/Ninja skill monkey/sneak attacker.


was thinking about this all last night, real hard problem finding some thing she can use to fight with. Cool

Background:

"I want to die." His gaze doesn't waver, his stare is cold, hard and made from tempered steel. There is no lie in the four simple words.

"Strong shoulders are all well and good, but no strength can handle a burden of deep shame. I was... careless. Death. Dishonor. Details? Har. Not likely. Suicide?" Cale spits. "For cowards. I was taught to fight, and fight I will. I'll fight anything and everything until one of those things kills me. And when one of them does finally kill me, it'll be legendary. I'll keep the bards in coin for years to come, spoony bastards. So Gorum bring me another fight, a better fight, a stronger foe. More monsters to taste my axe. Death is my release, but Gorum's sake, I won't go quietly to it. I'll keep Pharasma busy enough 'fore I finally meet her."

Alchemist - Shizzle (no character provided yet)
Barbarian - CorvusRed

(hopefully I did not miss anyone)


How often would you like people to be able to post? (I tried to find a mention of this somewhere, but couldn't'... sorry if i'm making you be redundant.)


Hey Maslen, this may be fun to run on Roll20.net, have you checked it out yet?


I had a look, still really in beta and buggy as hell


Do you have a dealine for submissions?


I will make my decision in about 48hrs.

You'll need a Flickr.com account.

You'll need to post once daily at least.

Nope, haven't checked RollD20.net and will just run this my proven way for now.

I will be looking to fill the four roles mentioned in the party requirements and an extra.


Ok so I will be brining a Ninja/Alchemist(vivisectionist/Minchemist) to the party. Lots of skills specifically knowledge and hopefully some decent sneak attack. I'm thinking ninja 10/alchemist 5 right now. I'll work on it when I get the time.


I'm still around, too! I'm sorry to see you forgot me, Mlungisi! :P

It's been pretty hectic at the moment as you can probably tell from my posting rate, Maslen, but if there's any concern about filling those party rolls, I'd happily roll up a Rogue or a caster-type instead.

Eben, I can usually manage several posts a day, but some days that drops to one or two.
