Oh, good call Dark.
HP can either be rolled, or you can take average. Max at first, of course.
I thought the thing was gonna explode in protest! :S
I'll just post the link to the first time I rolled it in the other game. We also did a point buy that was less than this game. I could reroll my stats and stuff but I'm not going to. I'm perfectly content with what I gots. Since its going to be mostly RPing anyway...
That's totally fine. I'm playin rather fast n loose with teh rules. If your happy with how he's built n with stats n such, than its all good in my book.
Since I feel like most people interested in the game are creating 20th level characters, I went ahead and added 5 levels of mage priest to my character. Since I doubt that I will be using the Names of Power class feature in this "roleplaying experience", we can say its a planar interference. I took a Greater Aspect of Power instead. Effectively trading two levels of class abilities for one level of class abilities from the magister class. :P
Oh, and I introduced the Mind Reading Psychic Feat and Psychic Focus skill from Call of Cthulhu (I can copy them if you need me to). I thought they were fitting with my Psion feat anyway.
I still need to add new spells and level my lion companion up.
Oh, and I spent like 12,000 more than I was supposed to. All in the name of storytelling. =P
I do need to update the profile too, though. :( Forgot about that.
Mell, if you could PM that Psychic stuff, that would rock.
I'll go over the AE stuff tonite
@ All,
Do not worry if you go past the gp limit, as long as you don't go crazy far beyond it.
Also, feel to create interesting and unique custom magic items, with lots of flavor and coolness.
After some difficulty getting this into my profile I finally got it done.
So, how many people actually have their character done?
I know Mallaius and Dimmuborgir do. Does anyone else?
Mellaius is complete. I still need to add my lion companion to the profile though. :)
for hitpoints
Introducing Jen the House Cat: Mechanically a Fey-Touched, Common Cat Sorcerer 20//Bard 20.
** spoiler omitted **
Mechanically, Jen the Housecat is very Charisma-focused, with Enchantment and Illusion as her primary schools. She also carries around a lot of buffs, which is reason why adventurers don't mind having her follow them around.
Also, she can talk and communicate through dreams, so no worries on the roleplaying issues of getting introduced!
The issue with looking like (and being) a house cat is that I can't really carry around any staffs or obvious looking items, so I have...
Woah, thats a lot of powerful items. Now I feel weak in comparison.
Well, you have a lot of much cooler stuff. It doesn't really make sense for a house cat to be carrying around that sort of stuff, and I had lots of money to spend, so I just got utility stuff for protection. I wonder if anyone remembers the discussion, can a house cat kill a commoner?
Looks can be deceiving. Also, look at Dalnen's mage slayer weapon. That is just insane. :D
Also, when are we starting?
I agree it is insane. And it was made to be that way. Although, I'm not looking forward to trying to make those Ego saves. I have a 50/50 chance of failing. But the backstory the weapon is cool. I had to really think about how I'd make a weapon that was anti-caster without using anti-magic. And the whole resurrection thing is part of the story as well. You'll have to ask about it. ;)
As for starting I think MG said something about Friday of next week.
Also, speaking of house cats killing commoners, I hope everyone remembers this story
You're right, the items are a bit more interesting.
And I forgot that I have a faithful companion as well.
I too have a faithful companion, but disregard the fact that the familiar and the master look exactly the same. I was thinking about taking leadership to get another two hundred or so house cats, but then I thought, how would the inn hold so many cats in the rafters without anyone noticing? :D
Extra dimensional spaces and lots of fun with bags of devouring. ;)

Grayson Pearce is undergoing some cosmetic work, and switching around some feats, although the ability modifiersare set. Do you mind if, instead of "Nearly Skeletal," as in the Bestiary 3 description, he's fully skeletal, and his ioun stones have been implanted, as per Ioun stone implantation rules found in Seeker of Secrets? It doesn't really provide a mechanical benefit, but I want parts of his face to have been replaced with Ioun stones. IE, 2 similar stones for eyes, others replacing teeth in his head, stuff like that.
Other than that, there's not much to say. I'll PM you his build later, when I get it finalized, but he's a gestalted Pale Stranger/Mysterious Stranger, and he TWFs. He has high AC, a little bit of DR, some SR, (if SR=6+HD, as it appears to, then this is equal to 26. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone that's trying to affect others with spells, although hopefully combat can be avoided.) Good saves, and the usual undead traits.
In the process of writing this, I think that I've come to the decision that I'm going to take out HP. If you've got a suggestion on how many to take out, feel free, but if not, I'm going to take out at least 150-200.
Edit: Spoiler fixed in a few spots.
Okay, thats scary. Compared to these guys I'm a stick in the wind, without the benefit of having leaves at least to help me evade things. :P
Well, maybe my spells make up for it. I have like 109 hitpoints compared to 386? and 252? lol. It'll be a slaughter.
*They're all gonna laugh at you.*
Alright, I think the main problem was that everyone was using gestalt characters. So, I've gestalted Mellaius with 20 levels of unfettered. He feels a little better now. At least, I should be able to survive for a few rounds if combat should be inevitable.
lol, a net gain of 6 hitpoints.
I will update my profile tomorrow.
So, all kinds of gestalts, and level 20's, and very interesting characters.
I'd like to submit a level 1 human bard, named Nolan Cypher, follower of Cayden Cailean.
Nothing super fancy about him, except that I'll probably multiclass him strangely later.
Lemme know if you have any problems with a lowbie in a seemingly high-power area :P
I'll stat him out, but I really don't think I'll be using his stats for anything other than bluff, diplomacy, and those damn fort saves that come along with heavy drinking.
Mell,
If you want, instead of going gestalt just to pick up more HP, you could just take average, which half ur HD+1 or 5 in your case.
It wasn't just hp, it was AC too. And melee damage. I know I'm a caster class, and not supposed to get into combat, but my enemies might not know that. :P
Either way, I think I'm good now.
I have that image of when Gandalf was glowing white in The Two Towers and knocked Legolas's arrow down. And I can actually do that now. :P
Spells and magic items? I don't rly care if u gestalt, I just don't want you to feel forced to. Remember, combat could, maybe happen, but it shouldn't be the even close to often.
Can I get a run down on alignments?
Also, stas are important, but backstory moreso by like 50.
Finally, I know Mell is finished pretty much, is anybody else?
Yeah, I'm pretty much finished, and working on backstory now.
LE for alignment.
Also, MG, I may not drop as many HP as I was thinking before. I don't know. Hopefully, however, it won't be an issue.
Mellaius is from the plane of Serran (or the planet if you prefer), where alignment does not have a physical or metaphysical manifestation.
I'm getting there! I'd like to bust out his stats and then construct his story from there. I'll place what I have on his profile, unedited and not completed, mind you.
My character is done. I just need to type up the backstory. Dalnen is True Neutral but has some Chaotic Neutral leanings.
Okay, I think, mechanics wise, my guy is done, sans HP. I've opted to not purchase starting equipment; maybe I will end up buying a handy haversack and placing his trap kit in it. Otherwise, yeah, he's done.
HP: 6 starting, +10 Necromancer:
(Mage Starting, Mage, Trapsmith, Monk)
Total: 66
Sweet. Well, he's built to freerun through dungeons and build traps, not fight.
I am nearly done. Just need to do backstory now. Will link when done MG!
So how many players do we actually have?
Since this is an RP heavy thread I will play Master Beschi. Looking forward to the return of your Vamp game when time permits but this will be a good opportunity to RP Beschi. Thanks for the invite Monkeygod!
Hmmm, one of the kindred interesting. This aught to make things fun. I was wondering if we'd get more than just Pathfinder/D&D characters in this.
I sort of just want to see what would happen when a WoD Mage meets a Sorcerer/Wizard/Magus from another system. I also want to see what happens when said mage multiclasses...multisystems....Mage/Wizard or something.
Anyway, this sounds like a really interesting idea, and I'll try and come up with something for it. OH! Has anyone done anything with Shadowrun and this yet? It could be interesting seeing cyberpunk, high fantasy, and urban fantasy collide.

Just the thought of trying to couple the WoD Mage magic system with anything else makes me get a migraine. Trying to make a complicated system even more complicated by adding new features is a massively severe undertaking. I wish you the best of luck.
As for Shadowrun, I haven't seen anyone mention anything so far. But that would be an awesome interaction of thoughts/ideas/roleplaying. MG certainly has his work cut out for him trying to get all of this to work together. But as this is mostly an rp game he should be ok.
Hey MG,
are we getting started tomorrow?

I was considering running a Runner but despite my running around looking for my Shadowrun Runner's Guide to Running, I just couldn't run it down.
Instead, when I finally get a free chance and am not worried about some other stuff on my plate, I'm going to create a Bartender with a power level over 9000!
We don't have one yet is all I'm saying. >.>
That's a lot of running.
Indeed. After which I had to run two miles for my PT test.
My legs hurt. -cries-
Walk it off, sally, you'll be fine!
LaraX,
Would you be using the newer(WoW) rules or the older(Warcraft) rules?
