Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms (Inactive)

Game Master brvheart

Welcome to the Sundered Kingdoms.

hey hey hey

Ahoy!

Glad to be playing with ya'll!

hey Behir 200 nice to meet you!

edit: Looks like two characters each from the core classes: I figure we should fill "classic" roles. Any idea what you want to play?

I normally play combat/melee characters, then skill (usually slayers then trapper rangers sometimes rogues} I have played a few clerics, mostly combat oriented, very few arcane casters :(

In preparation I have created A Paladin, trapper ranger, cleric and sorcerer outlines to build on.

The link for Roll20 is now in General Discussion.

Going to sound dumb, but where is general discussion?

I thought this was under the "Discussion" tab already...

he meant campaign info roll 20

Followed said link, I sadly don't have access to the campaign.

I think roll20 requires I be invited via e-mail or a link e-mailed to me. That's how it works for the other online campaigns I've been in before, at least.

You two need to sort out what characters you are going to play.

I prefer arcane casters, myself. I know wizard, fighter, rogue, and paladin. I know (to a far lesser extent) ranger.

I know almost nothing about clerics, monks, druids, and bards.

You choose what you want to rock Robert and I'll select based on that. If I am understanding this (as we're the only two here) are we each getting two characters?

Yep, each get two characters.

So with your permission Behir I will do a cleric of Pekko, he will handle divine casting and use a long spear. For a skill character I will use a 'trapper ranger'

If you would like to handle arcane and melee that would be awesome.

Neither of my characters will have much 'social skills' both have a charisma of 10 and no specific communication skills. If one of your characters want's to be the "Face" that would be great. If not I will alter the cleric a little.

I usually do a battle cleric, but will try a slightly different alliteration, doing a 'reach cleric' (Long spear) that emphasizes summoning at higher levels.

The ranger will be a switch hitter using a two handed weapon and eventually a long bow.

Remballo, which is where your characters are at or the local area is on the western reaches of the Sundered Kingdoms and the Borderlands. It is still wild and somewhat backward so we are dealing with tech level here. Some things are not available in the smaller cities yet.

High Middle Ages
Materials: adamantine, mithral; Armor: half-plate armor;
Weapons: composite longbow, greatsword, lance; Warfare: castles,
cavalry; Social Organization: guilds; Transportation: stern rudder,
stirrup; General: Gothic arch, lantern, spinning wheel, waterclock,
windmill

I have linked above the Borderlands Province map that has Remballo on it to the southwest.

a little confused I know composite longbows, bastard swords and "fancy polearms' are not allowed, and I thought falchions weren't. Are great sword allowed, if not are falchions? Either way happy to go with a great axe or boarspear, but just checking.

If you note above composite bows are allowed. Falchions are not mentioned so I will presume they are available, but not common. It is mostly an orc weapon.

ok, my confusion, so that's a list of what's available. Greatsword is a go :)

For races I'm thinking of making a pair of humans (one wizard, one fighter).

Evoker

Fighter that emphasizes a longsword/shield.

Should fit well, I imagine.

A shorter list is what is not available here:

Materials: paper; Armor: full plate, tower shield; Weapons:
bastard sword, crossbow, rapier, warbow, pole arms; Warfare: gun powder,
trebuchet; Transportation: astrolabe, compass; General: buttons,
crude glass window panes, mechanical clock, mirror, power loom

Cool Behir, an Evoker and sword and board fighter, I will alter my cleric a little to handle some 'social skills'

Thanks for the list brv. I'm juggling between a greatsword and boar spear for my ranger. Since he is going 'trapper' and dealing with traps, I will eventually need to get thieves tools, but it doesn't seem like he should start with them. I will have them posted no later than tomorrow noon.

so cleric

and ranger, I will post background eventually, they happen to be cousins

and ranger, I will post background eventually, they happen to be cousins

Longbow 1d4 x2 50 ft. B? Me thinks you mean sling

oops, yeah I dumped the long bow and thieves tools to get the chain shirt, I will fix :)

Been busy as the wife had the past few days off, will try to cobble my characters together by Thursday.

that's cool, Behir take your time, I've been married 37 years, I totally understand.

If you would take a look at Onnello and Seamus' crunch to see if there is anything you think they are missing I would appreciate it.

I dropped Seamus' strength and bumped charisma giving him diplomacy so he would have some social skills, he will do less damage in combat but hopefully our fighter and ranger will make up for that :)

Hey brv, what do you think about giving "background Skills" that are for flavor and totally useless for gaming?

I would give Seamus craft: beer and Lore: Alcohol. Onnello I would give Profession: Hunter, Craft: skinning.

Just things that they would have wanted to learn if they had the chance.

No worries here Nick.

I showed Nick how to add characters to Roll20 so hopefully he will soon.

cool, I didn't see that he had put them in alias' here, looking forward to see what he creates

Nick informed me this morning that his schedule will not allow him to participate in this campaign.

well, that's honest, why don't we just drop it.

If that is what you want.

I don't see a lot of options. My original idea was to have a game that I/we could post daily in, with out a lot of delay. Not sure how to do that.

I can still post daily, at least during the week.
Usually multiple times.

I know, you post like clockwork, it was the other players that slow us down :)

I try to limit my posting from 8-10 PM, but I tend to check morning and lunch time and can't resist the urge to post.

What do you think of just the two characters? Gestalt core? I'd do a paladin/sorcerer, druid/ranger not that I spend my free time thinking about these kind of things :)

This ap is too old school for gestalt and I have a hard time seeing 2 characters surviving long, four is the minimum for this.

hey, at least is was fun to look at the options :)

Still apposed to the idea of me running all four characters?

That is about all we have left.

so what do you think, create two more characters or would you rather let it slide?

So this is Ian, He's the talker of the bunch...Seamus' cousin. Would a Paladin of SEFAGRETH, GOD OF COMMERCE, TRADE & CITIES be appropriate? I realize Sefagreth is neutral, but seems like a good choice for a person from a city of merchants and a merchant family. If not I will go with MUIR, GODDESS OF VIRTUE & PALADINS

ok, the wizard, still deciding on a familiar or a bonded item, and working on the spell book, this one will be the slow part, never played a wizard...ever :)

changed the wizards name, went with a bonded item: Ring, and I think I have the spell book ready.

What human languages would it be good for him to know?

Also, what monster races are nearby, want make sure the Rangers 'favored enemy' is appropriate.

He also needs alignment. I will start on the others tomorrow.

Onnello is neutral good, I need to add a language, I may base it on 'favorite enemy' I couldn't tell by the 'guide' what the most populated monsters might be. I know gnolls are further east and north, so I went with monstrous humanoids. If there is something more appropriate let me know. If there are a lot of orcs, I will change it to orc and make that my added language.

As for my wizard Lucian, he comes from a family of interpreters, I need to give him four languages. Are there other human languages used on the continent?

What are your opposition schools?

You cannot take comprehend languages as your bonded spell. It must be an evocation spell which the only one you have is burning hands. Not so good. Should have more. No magic missile????

Your item weight is 38 lbs (total of 40), not 22. So you are at medium weight.

Enlarge Person is not a cleric spell. So while you can have it as a domain spell, you cannot pray for it. You need another 1st level spell.

Thanks, didn't know that, I will fix

Still needs a deity.

I asked earlier, are you good with SEFAGRETH? He's neutral, but god of merchants.

Your item weight is 38 lbs (total of 40), not 22. So you are at medium weight.

"A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard’s level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard’s opposition schools (see arcane school below)."

It only says it cant be the opposite school.

Opposite schools: Necromancy, Abjuration

The pfsrd has a wizard kit available:

"Kit, Wizard’s Price 21 gp; Weight 21 lbs.

This kit includes a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, a flint and steel, ink, an inkpen, an iron pot, a mess kit, soap, a spell component pouch, torches (10), trail rations (5 days), and a waterskin."

if that's not ok, he will drop the torches and the iron pot that should lighten it considerably. If we can't by the kits, I probably need to change everyone else's since they have "kits" as well.

hey, I'm sitting here looking at the interaction between Ian and Seamus, If I go with a typical five man band Onnello will end up being the 'strong guy' while Lucian is clearly the 'smart guy' the question becomes which, Seamus or Ian, is the leader and which is the foil. Right now they both think they are the leader.

With that dichotomy working do you mind if I switch Seamus' stats back to what I originally had them. ie 16 strength and 14 charisma? Though I loath giving up the strength benefits, It would fit the character a little better.

Oh, as for the 'five man band' reference, if you want a chick in the midst your going to need to throw in an NPC...

anything new?
