Winds of Winter, a RoW AP!

Game Master NarcoticSqurl

PbP of the Reign of Winter adventure path from Paizo!


1 to 50 of 135 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | next > last >>

Yeah, we'll probably finish the AP before GRRM finishes his damn book too. So we're going to be starting at level 1, with a 20 point buy. No stat below 7, and no stat above 16 before mods. This will be a gestalt game, and I'll be using Automatic Bonus Progression. I'm looking for good characters with excellent backstory, as well as an interesting concept. The recruitment will be for 4 players, and I'll let recruitment go until Saturday March 19th. Resources allowed are Core, ACG, ARG, Ultimate Magic, Ultimate Combat, Occult Adventures, and APG. Good luck and happy crafting!

Ninja Edit: I'm also looking for posts once a day at least, just to help the story progress. If people need a day or so to work around school or work or real life that's fine, just keep in touch with the discussion thread is all I ask.


In like Flynn! Gestalt, huh? Hm. What pairs well with Kineticist?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Meatheads, look at Barbarian, Bloodrager, Slayer, and Fighter.


Not sure...I always felt like witch was an all around good support class though. The important thing here though is the character concept you provide, and backstory.


Dotting


Dotting, having in mind "The complete hero", a bard-fighter gestalt =)

Or perhaps a Caiden Caillean paladin-bard. Mmmh, that last can be interesting.


Hurrah.

Paladin Archer/Oracle of Life coming right up.


Dotted

I have some ideas.


I kinda wish this was a higher level, would love to play a Sasquatch character.

An Orang-Pendak could substitute though.


Would Ratfolk be an allowable/favourable race?

I would like to submit an Alchemist/Witch.


dotting so long

what races are allowed? will you allow race builder?
Just checking ;) you never know unless you ask


Just to be clear, you're not allowing any setting specific material? Any animal companions from the various bestiaries?


The player guide for Reign of Winter has suggestions for Animal companions.


My idea so far is a fighter/chavalier

It does but several of them are from sources not allowed as per the first post.


I think if the AP allows them they are allowed
But GM call

Count me interested with a bloodrager/paladin combo. I think I've got a good one for this...


Story!:
"Why are we going somewhere cold and wet again? Oh right, duty. A cat always keeps her promises, even to strange visions of the future that noone will believe anyways. I swear Sandy you're going to be the death of this old ghost. Wait, why is it warm. Did you do something?"

Cassandra snorted as Archimedes trailed off suspiciously.

"There, you see? It's not so bad is it? You can ride in the lantern the rest of the way. It's dry, warm, shielded from the rain. Just don't try to read anything while you're in there with the fire, ok?"

A muffled hmph was the only reply. Cassandra smiled to herself. Just because noone was going to believe her when she said winter was coming, didn't mean she couldn't help. She lifted her shoulders, settled the pack, and continued on into the village. They'd be glad of her in the days to come.

Liking my cat already.

Couple of questions regarding sources you didn't include, feel free to say no obviously:

The Powerless Prophecy curse seems super flavorful for this. If you're not ok with it I'll swap it out for a different curse.

I'd rather take Fey Foundling than power attack at level 1 for better lay on hands/channel efficiency, but switch hitting is perfectly reasonable if a little dull.

Similarly I'd probably take fate's favor instead of reactionary, just because it's more thematic for a catfolk to want to collect luck bonuses, but it's not a big deal either way.

Still haven't finished dotting i's and crossing t's. Did you intend to use background skills?


How much money do we start with to purchase equipment, GM?


Starting money is what you get at character creation since we're starting at level 1. I'll allow the setting material for Reign of Winter, and players guide. If anybody decides to go firearms, it will be Emerging firearms. Any races up to 14 RP. Animal companions should be selected from RoW material, or core companions please.

@Ash: Link me those abilities please and I'll take a look.


So... does that mean average GP or do we roll for it?

@Dragoncat: Sorry, I meant Max GP for starting level.


Alrighty then! Thanks! :)

Do we take the higher total for our Gestalt combo?


Absolutely.


Got it!


I think I'm pretty much done, mechanically. Anybody see any glaring errors? Also, does anybody have any suggestions for favored enemy? I'd hate to pick something useless.

Special Abilities:

Burn (Ex):At 1st level, a kineticist can overexert herself to channel more power than normal, pushing past the limit of what is safe for her body by accepting burn. Some of her wild talents allow her to accept burn in exchange for a greater effect, while others require her to accept a certain amount of burn to use that talent at all. For each point of burn she accepts, a kineticist takes 1 point of nonlethal damage per character level. This damage can't be healed by any means other than getting a full night's rest, which removes all burn and associated nonlethal damage. Nonlethal damage from burn can't be reduced or redirected, and a kineticist incapable of taking nonlethal damage can't accept burn. A kineticist can accept only 1 point of burn per round. This limit rises to 2 points of burn at 6th level, and rises by 1 additional point every 3 levels thereafter. A kineticist can't choose to accept burn if it would put her total number of points of burn higher than 3 + her Constitution modifier (though she can be forced to accept more burn from a source outside her control). A kineticist who has accepted burn never benefits from abilities that allow her to ignore or alter the effects she receives from nonlethal damage.
Elemental Focus (Su):At 1st level, a kineticist chooses one primary element on which to focus. This element determines how she accesses the raw power of the Ethereal Plane, and grants her access to specific wild talents (see below) and additional class skills. She can select aether (telekinesis), air (aerokinesis), earth (geokinesis), fire (pyrokinesis), or water (hydrokinesis). She gains her selected element's basic utility wild talent (basic telekinesis, basic aerokinesis, basic geokinesis, basic pyrokinesis, or basic hydrokinesis) as a bonus wild talent. See Elements for the specific abilities granted by each element.
Gather Power (Su): If she has both hands free (or all of her prehensile appendages free, for unusual kineticists), a kineticist can gather energy or elemental matter as a move action. Gathering power creates an extremely loud, visible display in a 20-foot radius centered on the kineticist, as the energy or matter swirls around her. Gathering power in this way allows the kineticist to reduce the total burn cost of a blast wild talent she uses in the same round by 1 point. The kineticist can instead gather power for 1 full round in order to reduce the total burn cost of a blast wild talent used on her next turn by 2 points (to a minimum of 0 points). If she does so, she can also gather power as a move action during her next turn to reduce the burn cost by a total of 3 points. If the kineticist takes damage during or after gathering power and before using the kinetic blast that releases it, she must succeed at a concentration check (DC = 10 + damage taken + effective spell level of her kinetic blast) or lose the energy in a wild surge that forces her to accept a number of points of burn equal to the number of points by which her gathered power would have reduced the burn cost. This ability can never reduce the burn cost of a wild talent below 0 points.
Infusion (Su):At 1st level, a kineticist gains an infusion wild talent from the list of options available based on her elemental focus. She gains additional infusions at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th levels. By using infusions along with her kinetic blasts, a kineticist can alter her kinetic blasts to suit her needs. Infusions come in two types, each of which changes a kinetic blast differently: a substance infusion causes an additional effect, while a form infusion causes the kinetic blast to manifest in a different way. Each infusion can alter only certain kinds of kinetic blasts, which are listed in its Associated Blasts entry. Each time the kineticist uses one of her kinetic blast wild talents, she can apply up to one associated form infusion and up to one associated substance infusion.

Some infusions change the action required to activate a kinetic blast or entirely transform the kinetic blast's normal effects.

The burn cost listed in each infusion's Burn entry is added to the burn cost of the kinetic blast the infusion modifies.

The DC for a save against an infusion is based on the associated kinetic blast's effective spell level, not the level of the infusion. The DCs for form infusions are calculated using the kineticist's Dexterity modifier instead of her Constitution modifier. When a kineticist modifies a kinetic blast with a form infusion and a substance infusion that both require saving throws, each target first attempts a saving throw against the form infusion. If a target succeeds and a successful save negates the infusion's effects, the entire kinetic blast is negated; otherwise, the target then attempts a saving throw against the substance infusion. If a kineticist's form and substance infusions both alter the kinetic blast's damage, apply the substance infusion's alteration first.

At 5th, 11th, and 17th levels, a kineticist can replace one of her infusions with another infusion of the same effective spell level or lower. She can't replace an infusion that she used to qualify for another of her wild talents.
Fan of Flames: Element(s) fire; Type form infusion; Level 1; Burn 1
Associated Blasts blue flame, fire
Saving Throw Reflex half

Your kinetic blast extends in a fan of flames, damaging all creatures and objects in a 15-foot cone. The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based.
Kinetic Blast (Sp):At 1st level, a kineticist gains a kinetic blast wild talent of her choice. This kinetic blast must be a simple blast that matches her element.

As a standard action, the kineticist can unleash a kinetic blast at a single target up to a range of 30 feet. She must have at least one hand free to aim the blast (or one prehensile appendage, if she doesn't have hands). All damage from a kinetic blast is treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. Kinetic blasts count as a type of weapon for the purpose of feats such as Weapon Focus. The kineticist is never considered to be wielding or gripping the kinetic blast (regardless of effects from form infusions; see Infusion), and she can't use Vital Strike feats with kinetic blasts. Even the weakest kinetic blast involves a sizable mass of elemental matter or energy, so kinetic blasts always deal full damage to swarms of any size (though only area blasts deal extra damage to swarms). A readied kinetic blast can be used to counterspell any spell of equal or lower level that shares its descriptor. A kinetic blast that deals energy damage of any type (including force) has the corresponding descriptor.

Kinetic Blasts

Kinetic blasts comprise simple and composite blasts. A kineticist gains a simple blast from her primary element at 1st level—some elements offer more than one option.

When a kineticist gains a new element via the expanded element class feature, she gains a simple blast from that element as well. Each simple blast is either a physical blast or an energy blast.

Physical blasts are ranged attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6+1 + the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6+1 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st. Spell resistance doesn't apply against physical blasts. Energy blasts are ranged touch attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6 + 1/2 the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st.

Composite blasts combine elements to form a new blast. When a kineticist gains a new element through expanded element, she gains access to all composite blasts for which she qualifies.

Most composite blasts are either physical or energy blasts, like simple blasts. Physical composite blasts deal an amount of damage equal to 2d6+2 + the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 2d6+2 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st; energy composite blasts deal an amount of damage equal to 2d6 + 1/2 the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 2d6 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st.
Favored Enemy (Ex):At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.

At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.

If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.
Track (Ex):A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Wild Empathy (Ex):A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

I took Humans.
But according to the players guide, there are a few options


GM, Ash.. asked a question about whether you plan to allow Background Skills in the campaign or not.


They should all be on d20pfsrd. Here's quick links.

Powerless Prophecy You'll have to scroll down, it won't let me link directly to the entry in the table.

Fey Foundling

Fate's Favored

I'll see about nailing down crunch for the cat this evening pending your responses.


what about alternate racial traits or variant races (that are not in the listed sources)?


Got a Fighter/Alchemist brewing for ya. Want to try some witchery.


@Ash: Those look fine.

@Dragon: We won't be using background skills variant in this game.

@Yokai: Which traits/alternate races were you thinking?

Also if anybody was interested, we'll be using unchained classes.


Would you allow the Rebirth discipline for the Psychic? It's found here: Rebirth
It's also on d20pfsrd but it's easier to link to on Archives of Nethys.

In addition, would you allow the Supernaturalist archetype for the Druid?

The boards ate this last night, so take 2.

I have an idea for a Varki expatriate, spirited away from the north by his grandparents as a very young child. Meet Wilho Pasanen, witch|bard.

Initial Partial Crunch:
S9 D12 C12 I18 W12 C14
Traits: Northern Ancestry, Poverty-Stricken

Feats: TBD

Skills: Knowledge (Arcana), Spellcraft, Perform (Oratory), Perform (Strings), Survival, Perception, TBD

Patron: Winter

Familiar: Snowy owl

Fluff:
Wilho has no memories of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. His grandparents spirited him away from the Icemark when he was less than a year old, and made their way south to Taldor. The trek was long and unpleasant; Wilho’s earliest memories are of living off the land and near-constant hunger. His grandparents would not speak of why they left, or of what had happened to his parents. They said only that there were some things it was best to leave behind, and they encouraged him to find a new life for himself in Taldor after they settled in the small village of Heldren. The pair even managed to get him entry into one of the lesser bardic schools of Elsekulp (Oppara being beyond reach of them), where the personable young Varki did quite well.

But the call of the North would not be denied. Wilho taught himself to play the kantele, the traditional Varki harp, and learned such of the great legend-poems of the people as had been transcribed by Taldan scholars. The winter was his favorite time of year, although it snowed seldom in the border areas. And then he found the snowy owl, and it spoke to him....

All of this he could conceal from his grandparents, who were still living in Heldren. Now, though, they are both dying, and he has returned home to tend them in their final days.

Would you allow the Mammoth spirit for shamans from the advanced class oragins?


Just a reminder to myself to buy a mundane Arctic hare so we have a mascot.

Plus something to eat if the stores run low?


I am interested so Dotted.
I have an idea for a almost gurkha style character.


I think I'm going to withdraw from this one. The character concept I thought up isn't as appealing to me as I thought it would be.

Best of luck to the rest of you, though!


Here is Merge Adral. He is a dwarf Fighter/Shaman Gestalt, I made him to be sorta a better ranger and a survivalist. The only thing I don't have figured out is how much gold he has after his smaller stuff like firewood and food but if I'm even considered I'll get on that.

(Mammoth spirit is extremely changeable if you don't want to allow it, I mainly chose it for the flavors of being bigger, not how powerful it is.)


@Merge: Mammoth Spirit could work, but what alternatives would you be looking at?
