Halls of the Infinite Moment

Game Master tom_thiessen

Tucked away in the hinterlands of the Lost Coast, a small village known only as Cusp winks in and out of existence.

Here, time is fluid, and doesn't always move in one direction. Many are the stories of adventurers trapped inside the nearby dungeon complex, never to be seen again.

The chronomasters wreak havoc with timelines, uninterested in the chaos they create.

The crater holds the dungeon complex, where adventuring parties can collect a fortune-keeping it may be problematic, as the current leaders of Cusp have taken their positions through backstabbing, thievery, and outright murder.

Okay, nice story, caught my interest....

System? Character build guidelines? Size of party? Deadlines? Also, do you actually have an infinite dungeon in mind? Is this, um, a module or...?

System: Pathfinder 1E

I'll put in for a fighter.

Is this point buy, or 4d6less1

4d6, drop the lowest die. Arrange as desired.

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 2) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 6) - 4 = 18
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 1) - 1 = 15
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 3) - 2 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 3) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 3) - 3 = 12

What level are we starting at/expected to go to?

I’m intrested. I’ll put together a character

4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 4) = 17 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 3) = 14 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 1) = 10 = 9
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 4) = 20 = 16
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 4) = 11 =10
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 6) = 17 = 15

I can work with that...

4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 1) = 13 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 1) = 15 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 6) = 20 = 18 Whoo Hooo!
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 3) = 12 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 3) = 14 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 6) = 12 = 10

Character to follow...

What level are we starting at/expected to go to?

Start at 1, right now the material goes to 5. I can always create more dungeon levels for as long as everyo e wants to play.

Recently one of my long-term games ended abruptly and this looks like it would be fun! My luck with dice rolls isn't the best, but here goes.

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 6) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 6) - 4 = 16
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 5) - 2 = 14
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 6) - 2 = 13
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 6) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 5) - 3 = 14

Wow, not bad. Even got an 18 in there if I hit it with a racial adjustment. A concept I've been knocking around in my head for a healer build:

NG Male Human Oracle (Spirit Guide) 1 of Pharasma

Looks pretty good. I know Crimson Throne, so it's all good.

Rolling for possible worthwileness.

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3) - 1 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 1) - 1 = 7
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 6) - 2 = 14
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 3) - 1 = 10
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 6) - 3 = 16
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1) - 1 = 9

...10 point buy. Yeah, that's about right for me rolling dice.

4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 3) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 2) = 15 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 3) = 15 12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 1) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 5) = 14 12
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6, 6) = 19 18

Well, I've certainly had worse. But also had better. :P Let me think upon what to do.

4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4) = 13=12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 3) = 15=12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 1) = 12=11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 4) = 18=15
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 5) = 15=13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 5) = 16=15

I think I'll do an old school elven archer with the Dragonheir Scion fighter Archetype.

Hmm.... I like the endless dungeon crawl concept. Old school D&D!

4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 6) - 2 = 14
4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 4) - 1 = 11
4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 1) - 1 = 14
4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 6) - 1 = 11
4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 3) - 2 = 11
4d6 - Lowest: 4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 6) - 4 = 14

Not great numbers but I've seen worse. I don't see a Witch on the list yet. Maybe.... Ratfolk OK??

Background skills?
Traits?

Think I'm going to withdraw my interest. I did a bit of Infinite dungeon a while back, and didn't find it really offered what I look for in a game. For those that do find it appealing, I wish you best of luck, and a great game!

Hmm... Would item crafting be viable? I'm considering a build based around it.

4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 3) - 2 = 11
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 1) - 1 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 2) - 1 = 9
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 5) - 2 = 11
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 5) - 2 = 15
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 1) - 1 = 14

Or... not. 13 point buy. Not as bad as Trinam, but ouch.

I don't see a Witch on the list yet. Maybe.... Ratfolk OK??

Background skills?
Traits?

Background skills: We'll stick with the standard skill system.

Traits: 2. I haven't developed any campaign traits, so the sky's the limit here.

Would item crafting be viable?

Yes. The dungeon entrance in the center of Cusp, which has built up an economy related to adventuring parties.

Lemming here with my Ratfolk witch alias. No history yet but the CS is mostly done. Let me know if you see any issue.

I have a build in mind that I wouldn't mind trying out...let me see if I can get the dice to play along.

Roll 1: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 1) - 1 = 14
Roll 2: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3) - 2 = 8
Roll 3: 4d6 - 4 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 4) - 4 = 18
Roll 4: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 1) - 1 = 9
Roll 5: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 1) - 1 = 10
Roll 6: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 1) - 1 = 4

Wow...18,14,10,9,8,4. That is some trash. I think that 4 effectively makes it a 9 point buy array.

Can we get a ruling on a point buy equivalent threshold where if it falls below that we can toss out the rolls and try again? Or if I could even keep everything but take another stab at roll number 6?

Retry Roll 6: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 5) - 1 = 9

I could submit a character with that last 9 instead of the 4.

Looking good

If you get 2+ rolls below 10, reroll everything.

Started a blog for game info.

Player Intro

I am good with that.

Roll 1: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 2) - 2 = 10
Roll 2: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 6) - 2 = 12
Roll 3: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 3) - 1 = 11
Roll 4: 4d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 4) - 3 = 12
Roll 5: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2) - 1 = 10
Roll 6: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 1) - 1 = 14

Okay...No longer have that awesome high, but dropped out all of the lows too. 10 point buy array, but it will do.

So my concept is a Shabti Bard that serves as face and knowledge/skill monkey. Would be taking the blank slate alternate racial trait for the flexible skill use once per day instead of all knowledge skills as class skills since bards already have that.

Shabti are an oddball race that you don't see much on the boards, so wanted to run it by you before I put a lot of time into the build.

Almost done with the character sheet. Are you allowing Drawbacks for an extra trait?

Sure :)

Shabti Bard

I don't really see anything wrong with it.

The only alarm bell was no -2 on any stats.

With your crazy-low rolls it should balance out.

Approved

2+ rolls below 10, reroll everything? Okay I'll give er a shot.

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 3) - 1 = 9
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 6) - 1 = 18
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4) - 2 = 12
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 5) - 1 = 8
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 2) - 1 = 11
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 6) - 2 = 15

24 pb but there's a reroll...

4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 5) - 4 = 14
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 2) - 1 = 8
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 2) - 2 = 8
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 1) - 1 = 8
4d6 - 5 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 6) - 5 = 17
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 4) - 2 = 14

20 pb... but ANOTHER reroll. Have I mentioned my luck is legendarily questionable?

4d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 4) - 3 = 15
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 1) - 1 = 9
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 1) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 6) - 2 = 13
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 3) - 2 = 10
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 6, 6) - 3 = 15

21 pb, no reroll. Hm. One of these has to be good for something.

Interested.

4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 3) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 4) = 17 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 3) = 15 12
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 1) = 10 9
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 1) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 5) = 13 12

Wow, that's...pretty mediocre. Might try a Skald.

Double ouch. Mine technically isn't a reroll. Time to try and build an above-average commoner.

Would you have any objections to me using one of the Aasimar variant heritages?

4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 3) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 6) = 16 14
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 4) = 19 16
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 4) = 15 13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 3) = 16 15
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 6) = 16 14

Apoc Golem with my super-fugly healbot, Dellan Karela!

(Note: Anybody who hasn't played Curse of the Crimson Throne should avoid reading his backstory for spoilers.)

4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 6) = 19 17
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 5) = 18 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 2) = 16 14

I'm thinking an monk, a dwarf or elven fighter, or a full caster of some sort... likely spontaneous type.

4d6 - 2 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 6) - 2 = 17
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 5) - 1 = 12

I'm thinking a gnome alchemist w/ blended view and pyromaniac alt racial traits. Hedge magician and second chance bonus traits, with an attachment drawback to make things interesting.

Would you have any objections to me using one of the Aasimar variant heritages?

I would not object

Okay Scared Witch Doctor Orc!

A rehashed character so far, Itching to play her again

This is Critzible, have a few more things to put on there

Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 1) - 1 = 12
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 6) - 1 = 9
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 1) - 1 = 7
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 4) - 1 = 15
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3) - 1 = 13
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 5) - 1 = 13

Uhgg...

Stat: 4d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 5) - 3 = 15
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 1) - 1 = 12
Stat: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2) - 2 = 7
Stat: 4d6 - 3 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 5) - 3 = 15
Stat: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 5) - 1 = 13
Stat: 4d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 6) - 3 = 17

Seems reasonable

Maybe a really stupid half-orc paladin

The modules don't have any hooks, intro, or anything. It's like you arrive at the entrance to the dungeon and just start...very weird.

Anywho...

Going to alter one of the paizo AP intros to work for the storyline. Is everyone committed to their 2nd campaign trait, or do you just want to work out the details as to why you're be meeting up at the Rusty Dragon in Sandpoint?

I wrote a brief outline with a caravan travelling from Magnimar to Riddleport, where the PCs are either guards, or they have some kind of connection to the caravan NPCs.

I feel like Dellan's traits are very appropriate for him so I really like them, but depending on the campaign traits you were planning to use, I can probably find one to swap out.

I like the caravan idea. I added a history for my character and ended it with skipping town with a caravan....

Haven't created an alias yet, but here's the stats for Krusk, half orc Skald. He's a melee type and offers some solid party wide buffs while he's smashing faces in.

Basic backstory concept is that his parents disappeared when he was very young. A family of elves adopted him, and he's realized that he won't be around to see his siblings grow up without some serious life extending or time altering magic. A deep dungeon where time doesn't work right sounds like a great place to start looking...

I gave this 2 weeks, but looks like interest has died down.

There are 4 characters ready to go...

• Krusk - Half-orc skald
  
• Kubi Niss - Rat Folk Witch
  
• Draxia Drekaar - Half-orc Sorcerer
  
• Dellan Karela - Human Oracle

I said 4-6 players, and there WERE some people who talked about being interested.

We can either get this caravan rolling, wait for a couple of other characters, or blend new characters into the story down the road.

I have no problem giving the other interested players a day or two to roll something up before we get started. Particularly if one of them wants to build a rogue! XD

Hm. I'll see if I can finish up tomorrow.
