I have lost one from my way of the wicked game due to posting disparities. I am looking for one player minimum one post a day. Plenty more if you like. We have an antipaladin, cleric, slayer, and a wizard. The player we lost was a Reflavored Damhpir ninja. (Tricks were gonna be vampire powers. ) The slayer is willing to fill the skill monkey roll so I am really looking more for a good personality that will fit into the group.

We are using 25pb 2 extra skill points per level and the nemesis feat. I expect a short paragraph on your nemesis. Any class save gunslinger is allowed. But may have to be reflavored. My players will be advising me on who to pick.

We are currently very early in the campaign, so anyone who joins will be getting in at the very beginning. Lets see some creative applications all. Someone with good personality - as a player and a character - would be good. We have good charisma characters, but no true face at this point.

As an FYI, my vote is just one of 5, but at this point I am a little leery of Summoners, especially the archetypes such as the Master Summoner and the Synthesis. Feel free to submit one with a really good background, but I thought I would let applicants know this ahead of time.

Tin Jasha is a refugee seeking shelter away from clutches of Mitra. She would tender her resume for your reading enjoyment.

Tin has a laissez faire attitude, a forgiving demeanor and have a nice red shiny poisoned apple approach to life.
All details are found within avatar.

Disclaimer: She was from a short-lived WotW campaign. I tweaked her for the nemesis feat. You may get a sense of her persona from her previous posts.


My profile, a Fighter of the Order of the First Sword. Decent cha and bluff skill from traits. Planning on taking Eldritch Heritage (Probably abyssal) Background in profile.

Still needs nemesis feat stuff.

I have ideas. I don't recall the Nemesis Feat, where is it located?

Shadow Lodge

Here is the Nemesis feat.


Hi there! Haven't made the game statistics of this character yet but the story's in her profile. Alleria is a witty streetwise bard with grand ambitions and a fearless personality!(and also a need for revenge)

Edit: I guess to explain the philosophy behind her character idea a bit I like the idea of someone who is evil not because they have evil inclinations but because they choose evil every day to get what they want.


I have something in mind but first I would like to know how far along you guys are. and Mr DM I have some questions for you that I would rather be answered via PM if you don't mind


I know you're leery of summoners, but since my character has no archetypes, I'll throw my hat in the ring. Jasper is from a WotW campaign that fizzled in the early stages. He's currently 2nd level, but I think the point buy is right. He's greedy, sharp of tongue and mind, and a skilled extortionist. He was convicted of fraud and consorting with dark powers - both due to his use of his eidolon, Jax.

His nemesis would be easy - Nheran, the archmage who struck him down and sent him to the guards. While Nheran has probably forgotten the incident, Jasper would like nothing more than to ruin the man who ruined his life.

The part I most enjoyed about this character was playing a summoner and eidolon who didn't actually get along so well. It was more a grudging respect than anything else - the summoner knows he's virtually powerless without the eidolon, and the eidolon keeps the summoner around only for amusement. "Good work today Wesley, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning!"


hey there Jasper, glad to see that other GM's out there actually allow summoners.

My possible application here is also a summoner, having been reject several time for being a summoner.


To be fair, the new Dark Paladin's got a lot of the face role covered..

However, yes, personality and an interesting character is the most important thing.


@Jasper - Nemesis requires the enemy to wish to do you harm - so Nheran wouldn't qualify, as you have him now... There's not enough animosity...

Dark Archive

True ture. But he is interesting jasper. I like the con beautiful. You stole it from dragonheart did you. Lol.

Dark Archive

I also like miss starfrost. A very nice twist. Especially with some of the changes I am make it fits very well.

Tin I like the concept but we already have a cleric and well worship of Asmodeus is proscribed for this one. Perhaps if you were a witch with the healing hex?

Azin again due to a plot road the party has already started on a worshiper of Asmodeus may not be the best idea.


Presenting Delayla, human flame oracle.
Good social skills and a mean taste for fire if applicable.

No alias yet, it'll be made if she's lucky.
I haven't picked any equipment, because starting in jail we have nothing. That's what i'm assuming at least. If otherwise, i'll adjust.
I wasn't sure if the Nemesis feat was an extra or the standard. If it's an extra i'll choose another feat.

Appearance & Personality

Spoiler:

Delayla is a graceful looking young woman with long blonde hair, partially kept together at the back. Her looks are one of her valuable features, it hides her less forgiving personality.

Delayla enjoys a good conversation.
She respects capability but despises cowardice and arrogance, only trumped by her hatred for the Mitran church and its followers. If left at her mercy, only the ones who might prove useful have a chance to live, others would merely be burned and ditched in a dark alley.

Background

Spoiler:

Delayla was born with an innate charm to 2 of a group of street performers.
A cheerful yet shy girl back then, she's the total opposite now.
Social and vengeful would now be the two words to describe this young woman.

In her teens she became a handsome girl, catching the eye of many.
Despite the teachings of virtue, many were men...and men lust after beauties.

The group had a profitable and busy night one evening. Such that they hired rooms at the inn.
That same night as she lay in her room at the inn, a man snuck into the inn and found her room. She was blindfolded and raped. As the man was almost done, she had freed her hand and slapped him over the face. That was when her first power manifested, as her hand became red hot while resting on his face while slapping. He staggered backwards, but in her dark room the only thing she could see as he ran through the door was a small pendant of Mitra and the words: "Damn you wench, i'll get you yet, you just signed your death sentence for that."

Reporting the incident gave no response. "The city consists of virtuous and good people whould never rape. .."Street performers, who are you to make such claims?". Frustration built up as they finally had caught wind of a rumor. Woever it was, they were closing in slowly. That person however somehow made sure the group met with unfortunate endings, accidents, murder, framing. Thanks to her power Delayla had fended off an attempt from a seemingly hired knife, by breathing fire into the assailant's face and fleeing.
"You will be hunted down and killed! His name can't be slandered and you, are a loose end.".

"Tell him i'll find out who he is and make him pay for raping me and killing my family!"
It never came that far, she was framed by a fake lead that lead her to a small house. Not looking inside as she should have, she melted the lock shut, wrapped a stone in a cloth and ignited it, tossing it through a window where it started a fire. Contrary to the unknown rapist, the house was that of a pastor and his family. The city guards had been "conveniently" on patrol there and caught an exhausted woman
in the act.....You're under arrest!, were the final words that night.

Her nemesis:

Spoiler:

An unknown young man wearing a Mitran pendant and possibly burn scars in the shape of a small hand on the right cheek. Rude in the mouth, not liking loose ends and manipulative would describe the man's qualities.
To avoid the scandal to ever come out, he's seemingly bent on removing Delayla as much as her burning desire to make him suffer.


It's an extra feat!


Thanks for the info.

Extra Feat:
Spell focus: Evocation


Just as a note for Miss Starfrost -- our cleric's an evangelist -- so you might want to pick a bard archetype that avoids duplication. ;)

Shadow Lodge

Aleria Starfrost - were you considering any particular archetype? This would be important in our evaluation. The character seems as though Sandman could be fitting.


In case of tweaking, is there an estimated deadline?


DM, would you consider a Catfolk character? I've been dying to try a plain old Catfolk rogue, throwing daggers at range, and being all feral and using her claws to natural attack up close. If so, I'll have a character up by tomorrow.


I'm very flexible when it comes to making the character's stats, the roleplaying is more important to me than the game mechanics. Is there a particular role that would be useful to build the character towards that the party wants? =)

I'm not even super married to the idea of a bard, simply a charming assassin type, she could be a ninja or a sorcerer even if necessary(she charmed the men before black widowing them?)

In the end my only real goal mechanicly is to contribute to the party well.


@Alleria --

Sandman's a pretty fun archetype, and wouldn't overlap with the Evangelist at all -- it's about the sneakery, and adds in some fun anti-spellcaster stuff which would likely work well in dealing with Mitrans later.

Another possibility, if you're looking at the being a sneaky assassin type and re-thinking bard, might be vivisecitonist.


Sounds cool guys, I'm taking a look at those archetypes.


Wow, sandman is pretty close to what I had imagined her to be. On the other hand once I mentioned sorcerer the idea of a sorcerer that focuses on spells that influence, conceal and assassinate struck me as awesome. Are there any bloodlines that would fit well with that theme that you guys know of?


Huh, I was under the impression that this whole ap was working with Asmodeus sympathizers, what did you guys do?!

Ok, I'll make a pestilence and shadow sorcerer.


Fey, I believe, is the best bloodline for making friends and influencing people... (+2 DC to enchantment/charm).

The killing them might get a boost from being crossblooded to something with claws or another more offensive power.


Yeah, fey sorcerer struck me as fun. Added stats to profile. Should be able to contribute well to the group over time as well.

While I will still add more detail to the profile about appearance, etc. This is basically my submission, thank you for considering me=)

Background:
Sicarrius, born John West, is a troubled man whose father is a Mitran Cleric. His father was viciously strict and never spared the rod, making Sicarrius repent for imagined slights against the sun god. His father called him a monster, and so Sicarrius became one, abandoned the clergy and devoted his training to Lamashtu. He seeks to plunge the nation into madness, and bring about the reign of monsters.

Nemesis:
Jack West, Sicarrius' father and a cleric of Mitra. He has sworn to put an end to his evil son and wipe the family name clear of this blasphemous stain.

Dark Archive

Tin Jasha has been re-skinned as an Oracle(haunted).
She started out as neutral and shifted towards NE during the interrogation by her now nemesis(es). While Tin will take great pleasure in undermining the church of Mitra, she'll go out of her way to hunt down any Mitra Inquisitors she catches rumor of.


Sneaky and manipulative bloodlines for Sorcerers include Rakshasa (lots of disguise/bluff/nondetection stuff), Infernal (+2 to Charm spells DC), and Umbral (lots of sneaky stuff). Unfortunately, Fey only gives a DC increase to compulsion spells, not to charm. Killing stuff includes Daemon (lots of weakening mechanics, with a few killing mechanics), and possibly Aberrant or Arcane to help deliver those nasty touch spells.

Dark Archive

Eh they are working for Someone else ahead of Thorne. Also ninja can work if reflavored we had a Damhpir who was going to say his ninja tricks were vampire powers. I had designed a feat that let him get back ki by feeding. But he dropped. :(

Dark Archive

Also as for time they you have til they hit the lower cell block. They haven't left theirs yet.

Grand Lodge

well I'm working on a character now, what book etc are you allowing?

Dark Archive

All pazio 3pp and 3.5 material approved on a case by case basis.


Here is Gerald's Catfolk rogue for consideration.

Projected Party role:

Spoiler:
I see her helping flank with the antipaladin and the slayer. I plan on taking the Vicious Claws rogue talent next level to increase her sneak attack damage dice to d8's. Her melee contribution will be mostly from the sneak attack, and with her primary weapon as natural weapons, she will get an extra attack in there for more sneak attack goodness.

She is obviously quite skilled, and I'll make sure she is very helpful in that department.

I also plan on having her switch hit a bit, as she can throw a dagger to help the wizard with a bit of ranged attacks as well.

If there's a question or issue, please let me know. I'm open to change anything the Adam or the party requests.

Thanks for the consideration, group. Good luck whomever gets picked!

Liberty's Edge

Would you be willing to let someone play a Tarnuk? I see the party just rescued one. It'd be an easy way to intro the character. =P

Obviously the full monster stats wouldn't work but what if I use the race creation rules to cook something up?

Thank you for the suggestions, they are good ones. I believe I will stick to Fey though. From a character perspective I like fey as it fits the bright and slightly otherworldly aura I imagine Alleria to have while also not having a bloodline typically associated with evil.

It would take awhile for her to grow into a proper assassin but a +2 to dominate, some free greater invisibility and a better than average chance to bust SR, when combine with the right spell selection, makes her pretty attractive to me late game.

Ahhh no. Thok is special. As in he was a pc of a friend of mines and has his roll to play. Beyond being the ogres replacement. Also there is the fact of his missing arm which isnt normal per say. Also if you really the spoilers they are not a direct port over from the realms.

No should you wish to try for a Feyri or something that I have no problem with. In fact its something I would also recommend to miss Starfrost. Should you come up with a reasonable template.

Liberty's Edge

Well even if it's not Thok specifically, would another tanaruk be possible?

Shadow Lodge

Where are these races? I cannot even find a Tarnuk on the web as a race.
---

I do not know how divineshadow is handling this, but most unusual races are going to need high bluff and/or disguise to avoid detection in a mostly LG human society.

Dark Archive

Thats why I recommended bluff and disguise. As for Tarnucks and I amy be spelling that wrong they were a forgotten realms race no idea if they made it into fourth. But they were in 3.5 and 2edition. They are sorta orc demon roach things. They aren't smart and they honestly didnt hit all that hard but god were they tough.

Liberty's Edge

I'll withdraw then. Thanks anyway.

Dark Archive

Sorry its spelled tanarukk correctly been a few years since I used them. And am playing with the race book to make him.

And honestly they are just a bit too potent for a pc race. Which is why he is keeping his racial hd and being a replacement for the ogre.

Liberty's Edge

That's why I suggested cooking something up that's a bit more appropriate with race creation rules. Call it 'Lesser Tanarukk' maybe.

He could be Thok's son!

Dark Archive

I honestly would prefer to keep him a one of for flavor. However as I said if you want to try a feyri or one of the other planer crossbreeds feel free to whip something up and present it

Liberty's Edge

Way of the Wicked honestly never interested me much until I spotted your game and started musing on Tanarukk. I'll go ahead and withdraw. Best of luck. It looks like you've got a great group.

Feyri are the the half elf demons from Forgotten Realms if I remember correctly? Are you recommending them because it would work better for the game if I play something with an evil origin instead of a mortal that chooses evil or as a template to add as I progress down the road of evil?


I understand if it would be more fun for the group if I played something more thematically evil in race and class instead of a more "normal" character who just does evil so I could change her if you like but if it helps at all as she is now I hope to pursue the path of the lich which will make her more thematically evil somewhere down the line lol.


You're not under any obligation to make Sir Evil McNasty of Rottendom. Lauren is a Sylph, not a race particularly known for its wickedness.
