Hello. I am looking for a player to run a solo (1 on 1) Wrath of the Righteous. :)
What you should know:
This will be over e-mail.
Mythic rules, as written, are incredibly powerful. I had the idea of trying to run the campaign with only one PC gaining access to all 10 mythic tiers. The other 3 members of the party would be regular heroes, buffed a little bit to compensate but without access to "mythic abilities". The idea here is to have one PC get to be "mythic", like for example, a story about a "chosen" figure and their followers. This is not really fair to do to players in a regular 4 player game, but is possible in a solo campaign. Also, in a solo campaign you can totally tailor the campaign world around a PC, which a "mythic" story really begs you to do.
I am looking for a roleplay heavy game. I'm also a semi-new DM (I have completed one campaign thus far for a group of 2, so I'm accustomed to small player settings) so I fully welcome new players to Pathfinder. I am still trying to learn myself.
A few details...
- Using the Golarion setting. Read the Player's Guide. You get 2 traits, +1 bonus trait from the Player's Guide. You can make your own backstory, but try to incorporate it into the setting.
- You're free to all Paizo material to build your character, but I want to make building your character a collaborative process.
- The other NPCs in your party are that, NPCs. You will start play with 3 NPC party members (I'll let you choose what classes), but I control them in roleplay. You will be able to recruit other NPCs you meet in the story into the party, but you'll have to gain favor with them. I will control their leveling up. I will take your input into to consideration though.
- For combat, I will allow you to choose from the following: 1. You can control all of the NPCs in combat. 2. I control all of the NPCs in combat. You can of course ask them to do something if you disagree with their course of action.
- I don't use experience points.
- I'm hoping that only having 1 mythic character will help keep this AP challenging. However, I reserve the right to tweak the mythic rules as we play if anything becomes too obviously OP in your build.
Character Build Rules: 20 point buy. Average starting gold for your class. Please read the Player's guide and build a character that grooves with the ideas that book sets forth. So for example, a chaotic good tiefling of Desna sounds good! a LE drow necromancer sounds bad. A paladin would probably be a better idea than a gunslinger. And so forth. If you're unsure, just ask.
If you are interested, please PM me.
If you have questions, PM or reply!
Thanks for reading.
Bumping, keeping this open to seek interested players for a week.
Sounds like great fun.
I am Amos Muir. My family traces its lineage to the ancient line of dwarves that once constructed beautiful Sky Citadels within the Worldwound. By joining the crusades I will have the chance to earn back my line's birthright by my own force of will.
The dwarven Antipaladin Staunton Vhane is a Thagi, the dwarven word for "murderous traitor" - when he betrayed the Crusaders of Mendev, my uncle Norward was among the slain. My stated purpose is to fight against the demons of the Worldwound, but Vhane is my truest enemy.
I'd like to be a cleric but with a more solo-oriented Domain, so I'd need to update this character's profile. I'll choose Touched by Divinity as my campaign trait:
you’ve had an unexplainable interest in one deity in
particular. One of your parents may have been a priest
of this deity, or you may have been an orphan raised
by the church, but these alone cannot explain your
deep connection to the faith. You’ve always felt calm
and at ease in places holy to the deity, and often have
dreams about the god or goddess visiting you—most
often in the form of a sacred animal or creature. Your
faith is strong, even if you don’t happen to be a divine
spellcaster—if you are a divine spellcaster, you should
be a worshiper of this deity. You begin play with a silver
holy symbol of your chosen deity for free. In addition,
choose one domain associated with your chosen deity.
You gain the use of that domain’s 1st-level domain spell
as a spell-like ability usable once per day (CL equals
your character level). Associated Mythic Path: Hierophant.
Multiple Characters: If other characters choose this trait,
you should all work together to decide what deity you’re
associated with—it should be the same deity shared by
all of you. You might even share the same dreams.
Also: Is there no way to do this on the forums instead of via email?
I want to play!
I know Barbarian doesn't sound very much like a crusader, but I'm thinking of her more as a religious zealot whose rage is inspired by the gods than the typical hillbilly-with-a-greataxe Barbarian. The crusade would see her value, naturally, but they'd send a few of their people out with her to keep her in check (the NPCs).
Will have a full build in a few days. I's about to be a crazy busy weekend.
Woah, brought on way more initial interest than anticipated. I was under the impression that 1on1 play was more unpopular than it is, apparently! Closing recruitment. PMs are out. Thanks for your time, guys. :)
