So, if you saw my interest check, Great!!
Anyways, dead men walking is a undead based campaign. Becoming undead is based on tiers, like mythic powers. I'm still under development, but this game is all to help with that.
Race: any core. Ask about any race else, but you will loose any abilities I'm favor of the undead. You can keep knowledge and skill based abilities.
Class: any that doesn't require good. No gunslinger or firearm based classes. I'm trying to keep to the PRD as rules are allowed.
Stat points: 25 point build.
Traits: 1, no racial or love based.
You choose one of these to apply to yourself in addition to undead traits. Keep track of your tier. These are considered your first ability. You also gain 4hp per tier.
Vampire: Blood Drain (Su): A vampire can suck blood from a grappled opponent; if the vampire establishes or maintains a pin, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage. The vampire heals 5 hit points or gains 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour (up to a maximum number of temporary hit points equal to its full normal hit points) each round it drains blood.
Gains normal vampire weakness
Lich: Rejuvenation (Su): When a lich is destroyed, its phylactery (which is generally hidden by the lich in a safe place far from where it chooses to dwell) immediately begins to rebuild the undead spellcaster's body nearby. This process takes 1d10 days—if the body is destroyed before that time passes, the phylactery merely starts the process anew. After this time passes, the lich wakens fully healed (albeit without any gear it left behind on its old body), usually with a burning need for revenge against those who previously destroyed it.
Gain a phylactery, and normal lich weakness
ghouls: paralysis touch(Ex): unarmed attacks can paralyze non-elf foes for 1d4+1/4 hit die rounds. DC:10+1/2 hit die+ cha mod.
Wraith/ghost: Incorporeal Subtype: base speed is gone, replaced by fly speed of 30ft. An incorporeal creature has no physical body. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits and precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality. In addition, creatures with the incorporeal subtype gain the incorporeal special quality.
Normal weaknesses
Masked dead:
Golden mask: your soul is trapped inside a mask made of gold or other valuable metal. You posses the body of whatever you are placed on. Subject must be your base race, or similar.( Ex. With human as a base race you may take the body of a humanoid with the human subtype) body must also be dead.
Skeleton champion/zombie lord: DR 5/slashing or blunt depending on choice
Alignment: any non-good
Starting wealth: maxed class +200gp
Posting will be on weekdays between 7:30-3:00 mountain time. Try to post allot, I enjoy games like that
For the vampire, you are considered a Moroi(normal) vampire
Backstory doesn't matter, but is good for character attitude and behavior.
Recruiting for at least till tomorrow, more if party needs balanced

Dot.
If I wanted to play a Barbarian or Bloodrager, would I be able to use Rage? There is apparently a kind of alternate Rage for undead characters that gives Cha instead of Con and allows you to benefit from Rage, despite being immune to morale effects (See here, under the Vampire Savage character), but if you want to avoid that, I can think of something else.
Hmmm... I'm thinking of a Halfling ghost oracle.
Dot.
Dotting. Would you consider path of war was considering a ghoul warder.
If not I'll go lich wizard.
dot ... ghost rogue (Unchained)
I know it isn't among the ones you listed bit it's on a similar level: Would you allow a Siabrae Druid (full template here)
I'd say the first tier would be the Blightbond.
Can I have the following but at a lesser version of it with the following stipulations;
1. It is only 1/2 of the character's Charisma modifier or (2) items, short sword and masterwork thieves tools.
2. I must take this as my next ability.
Grave Trappings (Su)
Challenge Rating: +0.
The ghost died with a strong attachment to a specific item or set of objects. A ghost with this ability may choose a number of items it died with equal to its Charisma modifier to carry with it into death. The ghost continues to be able to use and benefit from these spectral duplicates just as though they were the real things. Weapons and armor are treated as having the ghost touch special ability, while other items act as being incorporeal themselves and can be manipulated by the ghost. Regardless of the type of object, all selected items are treated as being part of the ghost’s form and cannot be disarmed or removed from the ghost (even by the ghost). Should a ghost be destroyed, its equipment reappears with it upon rejuvenating. (CR +0) Occasionally, and at the GM’s discretion, the transition into death might imbue a single ghostly item with strange powers, granting it powers comparable to a magic item suited to the ghost’s character level.
Thank you

Assuming I could play a Bloodrager and still use Bloodrage, even though I'm undead, I'm strongly leaning towards a Half-orc Zombie Lord Bloodrager with the Abyssal Bloodline. Alternately, a Tiefling (maybe Skeleton) Antipaladin of Lamashtu.
How are racial modifiers being handled, by the way? Do you still get the normal stat bonus from the original race, and you just lose most of their racial traits in return for Undead immunities and such?
Also, small note for those building characters: When building an undead creature with the point system, treat your constitution score as if it was a 10. No dumping it down to 7.
Sounds interesting. Here's my:

Yes. All con bases bonuses apply to cha for undead
And yes, you gain stats from original race.
Plz ask about anything like tengu orkitsune. You would lose most traits. Mainly the nonphysical skill bonuses. Saves can still apply. But anything like bloodline bonuses don't. Spell-like abilities don't

Sorry, no.
That is okay, because ghost normally can't use normal weapons** spoiler omitted **
Cool, thank you! I am going to change to a rapier instead. I only really have fluff remaining plus the fixes for allowing "Lesser" Grave Trappings. One of the reasons why I purchased Hero Lab is so I can spend more time on fluff, less time on mechanics, and reduce errors. Although, I have $209+ to go before I have everything.
** spoiler omitted **...Be sure to state your base race. (Ex. Human, elf, dwarf, ext)
I did in Hero Lab but it did come out in the output. I will figure it out. I may have to just include it in my fluff.

Quick note: gender doesn't matter, but you can create a female of whatever you like. It will be more obvious in vampires and ghoul, but not so much in lich or skeleton.
Lich will have flesh at the beginning. They can choose to be more skeletal later on, or keep their flesh.
I have added a brief history on the campaign info page.
As well as some names of important people.
Could you provide some ore information on the Masked Dead?
How would they work? Do the physical stats come from the possessed body and the mental stats from your trapped soul?
Does sundering the mask instantly kill you?
I'd be interested in playing a Masked Dead Cleric or Inquisitor of Mammon. It seems like a perfect fit for the type of undead as the way of animation is similar to how Mammon himself is a spirit animating the hoards of Erebus.
Here is my Character, Mastigia Fur's, link.
I don't have the unchained book, so if you inform me of what those mean, thank you.
It's slight changes to the Rogue, one change at 1st level is Rogues receive Weapon Finesse as a Class Feat. I can post the changes in detail tonight. It's nothing game breaking, just slight changes here and there from the norm that seem to be more logical like Weapon Finesse being a class feat instead of a standard level feat.

The masked dead are the mask. Sundering it does kill you, but you don't die unless that happens. You may cast spells without a body but cannot move, the mask can only be sundered when not on a body. The body you posses takes on your physical stats because you can only take control of dead bodies of the base race. Allot of masked dead look like mummies,
If the mask is placed on a new body, the old falls down useless. If placed on a living thing you attempt to dominate the body, but the person take 1d6 per lvl of damage if he fails the save, Will DC= 10+ 1/2 hit die+ Wis mod
The mask is gold or silver. It has a hardness of 10 and hit points equal to your cha score.
If the victim saves, then you cannot dominate his living body for 24 hours.
The mask usually looks like what you used to. Although some look like oni masks.

Don't forget your 4 extra hps for 1st Tier undead?
Good catch, Mastigia. Will update that in a second.

Order [spoiler/=Order of the Flame]A cavalier of the order of the flame devotes his life to the pursuit of personal glory. Even if such pursuit puts his own life on the line, the cavalier pursues legendary status and the fame and glory associated with such renown.
Edicts: The cavalier must pursue glory for himself and those with whom he associates. He must strive to heap glory upon his name, no matter the costs. He must challenge and defeat an ever-increasing host of rivals to further cement his illustrious reputation.
Challenge: A cavalier of the order of the flame becomes ever more emboldened with each glorious victory. As an immediate action after reducing the target of his challenge to 0 hit points or fewer, the cavalier can elect to issue a glorious challenge to an opponent within 15 feet.
Glorious Challenge: A glorious challenge does not count against the cavalier's number of challenges per day, but otherwise acts like a cavalier's challenge class feature. When he issues a glorious challenge, the cavalier takes a –2 penalty to AC for the duration of the glorious challenge (this penalty stacks with the usual –2 AC penalty against opponents other than the target of the cavalier's challenge). The cavalier gains a morale bonus on melee damage rolls against the target of his glorious challenge equal to 2 × the number of consecutive glorious challenges he has issued thus far. As long as he continues to defeat targets of his glorious challenges and there are more opponents in range, the cavalier can continue to issue glorious challenges indefinitely, with the penalty to AC and the bonus on damage rolls increasing with each subsequent foe. For example, a 5th-level cavalier that has just issued his third glorious challenge after defeating the original target of his challenge takes a –6 penalty to AC (–8 against creatures other than the target of his glorious challenge) and gains a +11 bonus on melee damage rolls (a +5 bonus from his base challenge ability plus a +6 morale bonus for three consecutive glorious challenges).
Skills: A cavalier of the order of the flame adds Knowledge (local) and Survival to his class skills. Whenever the cavalier's current hit point total matches or exceeds his maximum hit point total, he gains a bonus on Intimidate checks equal to 1/2 his cavalier level (minimum +1).[/spoiler/]
Vampiric Ability [spoiler/=Blood Drain]Vampire: Blood Drain (Su): A vampire can suck blood from a grappled opponent; if the vampire establishes or maintains a pin, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage. The vampire heals 5 hit points or gains 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour (up to a maximum number of temporary hit points equal to its full normal hit points) each round it drains blood.
Gains normal vampire weakness[/spoiler/]

I'm going with the ancient spirit is tied to the mask, gnome with it's curiosity finds it for sell at a hinky magic shop. Puts it on, the spirit proceeds to take over his body and drown him so he can keep the body. (I know it won't work that way anymore but I find it an interesting styling for a backstory. I could embellish more if given the time.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
For the masked dead, if I start as a gnome and we find a better body out there...must it be small sized or just humanoid?
