Heaven's Fury - WoTR

Game Master Lucendar

Congratulations on all selected. Let's try to have some fun. Finalize your characters, talk among yourselves, and let me know your thoughts/questions on any topics. Please format your characters in the Race/Class Tabs so that vital information about your character is readily apparent and makes my job easier.

Thanks for the selection! I’m very happy to be here. I hope we can rock Kenabres. And the fundraiser for the CRPG is wrapping tonight with over 2M in funds! A great day for WotR definitely :)

Thank you sir! I'll get a profile set up tomorrow, and can work with all of you on tweeking things.

Thanks GM! I’ll get to work formatting. Looking forward to the campaign and getting to know you all!

I've set up my profile to give all the useful information. :)

Lucendar, would it be all right if I switch my campaign trait to Touched By Divinity instead? My background works with it just as well, and I'd rather not overlap with Zedna too much if we can avoid it.

For the special aasimar alternative race traits, do we have to commit to using them before we roll? Or can we roll and then decide if we'd rather keep our existing SLAs?

Thanks for the format, makes thing easier. Yes, you can change feats, traits, etc. By the way, Nick, you have Combat Stamina and I don't really play with that optional rule.

With regard to SLAs, what I am thinking, is that if you decide to roll on the table, you do so when instructed by me (to avoid the previewing the roll issue) and then you decide whether you want the roll or you want me to roll. If you choose the latter, you then take my roll no matter what. There has to be some risk involved. :)

Working on the format, copied Lucky Nicks :)

Won't have a profile pic until tonight. Always difficult trying to find one that matches your concept or inspiration picture.

If Lucendar don't mind, you can go ahead and roll for Zedna's alternate trait. That removes the previewing issue altogether.

I was waiting for everyone to check in and see who was going to roll and then I'd tell you all next post roll counts. Rolling for you is not the solution - want you have to have some participation.

Okay, that works perfectly and will now be patient... somehow :)

I’d be interested to roll as well. Just let me know when. I might end up not risking your roll later, though, and keep heavenborn. But at least I should give the gods of dice the chance to entertain me with their randomness :)

Whoops! I didn't realize you weren't using it, sorry! I should have asked. I removed it from my sheet. :)

If everyone else is rolling, I'll go along with it in the spirit of shared risk.

As far as I understand, it just becomes a risk if you ask for the GM roll as well. If you don’t like yours, you don’t have to replace (just if you ask him to roll, in which case you have to pick one of the two rolls).

Anyone else here has Riftwarden Orphan?

@GM: we have two Azata-blooded (as far as I see) - is it an issue?

Yes, there are 2 Azata-blooded characters - I was initially thinking of having one of each heritage but I enjoyed the two character concepts so much that I gave in, so it is not an issue.

Just waiting for Lotho to make an appearance.

Sorry Krayn, Zenda is stolen fury. Speaking of which, Nick, no problem with you stepping on Zedna's toes if you want to keep Stolen Fury. We can fiddle with the stories to make sure the ritual was the same (since the trait says it needs to be) or not if you are want to go with the divine one.

Still looking through avatar pictures, so if this one changes, that is why.

As far as I understand, it just becomes a risk if you ask for the GM roll as well. If you don’t like yours, you don’t have to replace (just if you ask him to roll, in which case you have to pick one of the two rolls).

Is my assumption correct, GM? I can roll and still give up, and I’m just forced to use the alternate if I ask you to roll as well?

Any word from our wayward paladin?

I sent him a message. It seems his last post on the recruitment was Friday... Hopefully he's just taking a long weekend?

Just a heads up: I'm going on vacations for the next weeks and will be posting a "little" slower than normal. I'll still try to keep the rhythm going but I figured the beginning was slow anyway!

I already reviewed my character sheet - trying to focus on Searing Light at this beginning (will get it next level) but Krayn is going to follow a very good-light route towards Mystery Cultist of Korada :)

Hello! Sorry, last couple of days have been hectic, so I haven't been checking up on the forums except my active campaigns. I'll port the stats over during lunch, around noon EST.

Welcome Lotho!! Glad we didn't lose you :)

Okay, got my sheet moved over and my stat line set up. I'm not seeing a gameplay thread to dot into, though.

I am fine with rolling for SLA's.

Okay, glad everyone is here.

Krayn, you do not roll for variant aasimar abilities as choosing Heavenborn replaced your SLA.

Everyone else, if you're interested, you can roll in your next post in the OOC thread a d100 (has to be next post). If you roll, you are automatically giving up your current SLA. If you do not like the results of your roll, then you give up that result and I will roll for you and you have to take the results of my roll. I think that is pretty clear. If you decide not to roll, just state that as well.

As for your alternative physical features, you can pick from the list without the need for rolling to make your unique appearance.

sla: 1d100 ⇒ 76

+2 saves vs curses... Not bad but worth another roll, so please roll for her again

Luck don't fail me now! Aasimar Ability: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Clearly Desna wants you to roll it for me, GM! :D I'll take whatever you come up with.

Will wait for Lotho's roll and then roll for you all together.

In the meantime, can you suggest a name for your special heavenly squad of kick-a$$ery? I was thinking "Code name: Blitzkrieg" (swift victory), but if you all reach consensus on another name, it's fine by me - your game.

Code name: Blitzkrieg is fine with me. Makes me think of the Flight of the Valkyries. Ai! Oh! Let's go!

Hehe...love that song as well!

SLA roll: 1d100 ⇒ 62

Hmm ... Yeah, let's go with a reroll.

I want to roll anyway... If I don't like, I will keep Heavenborn. If I can't keep - whatever, you only live once.

I'd rather leave it to the gods of dice!

1d100 ⇒ 99

Does anyone have the table?

If I like whatever this number is, am I forced to change if I ask the GM to roll? Just to have an option to choose.

I like Blitzkrieg too.

99 You have a natural fly speed of 20 feet (poor).

Blitzkrieg is good. Hopefully, we'll live up to the name.

Flight? That's definitely fun in my book, even if it's 20 with poor maneuverability! I'm happy to lose Heavenborn in this case, the risk paid off :)

As for the alternate physical feature (found the tables here), I think the Light Wings (73) goes great with it.

My inspiration is obviously this

Rolls for rest of you in order requested:
Zedna: 1d100 ⇒ 74
Nick: 1d100 ⇒ 49
Lotho: 1d100 ⇒ 55

Meh...for the three of you, since I am feeling generous, besides flight and SR, which ability did you really want to roll?

Ha! So Zedna can kiss people awake... but only once a day. Strange ability.

Any attribute increase (strength of course being the most powerful, but intelligence would be lovely as well since skills are in need, or any of them). But am fine with flavorful things like kissing people awake or only eats honey and wine, can sense if people are pregnant, can chat with horses.

I am okay with the augury ... although I wouldn't have complained about weapon of awe

Waiting on Nick's request.

In the meantime, the Campaign thread is up.
Thread

Please feel free to post on the past interaction or the present one.

A bonus to Reflex is pretty appropriate for Nick, but I think a bonus to Dexterity would more obviously represent his celestial heritage. I’m thinking he glows with a blue and purple aura whenever the stars are visible overhead.

Okay, so here are the racial bonuses:
Zedna get +2 Intelligence
Lotho gets +2 Charisma
Nick gets +2 Dexterity

Amend your profiles.

Is this Cha modifier in addition to the modifier Con/Wisdom modifier from Archon-Blooded?

Yes sir. It replaces our spell-like abilities, not out racial attribute bonuses.

Hey Lucendar, was the blonde-haired woman you described Zedna, or somebody else? I thought it was Zedna on first read, but on second look I wondered if it was an NPC that we haven't been introduced to yet?

Hey all, have not disappeared- will post tonight and yes that was Zedna.

Hello, just checking in to see if everyone is alright. Busy time or slow time depending on what is happening in your part of the world, yes?

Yeah, I'm all right but stuck at home. Going a bit stir crazy but nothing very bad yet. It could be much worse!

Optimism is always being able to say It could be worse, right? Same here. Kids are not yet bored, but sooner or later they will be barbarians of need and whining. :)

Hey all, still here. Not the way I wanted to start this game, but this pandemic has made work really unstable. But I'm around and will update now. Thanks for your patience.

Hey sir, do you want us to roll perception checks when we are moving forward or do you want to do them yourself?

Hey, just checking in on this thread. Know a lot of stuff is going on for everyone, so definitely let us know if we need to expect a slowdown in posting. Hope all is well.

Good Morning Lotho! Just jumping in to agree with you wholeheartedly. Understand completely on slowdowns given the current state of things, but it would be nice to hear a ping now and again.
