An Opalline Tide

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Ran out of time to get Jakun de-powered last night, will have to get to it tomorrow, tonight is all sorts of crazy.

Hey Pat, It seems like in Opal & area, there really isn't too much that's off-limits, far as races go.

Perusing your long and excellent history of Opal, are there any races that YOU'D like to see? Or think that they dont get enough attention usually? Except as set dressing?
Dragon born, Lizard folk(ish), etc etc,... ?

I'd like to take that into consideration as well with everything percolating in my brain. :)

(Makes me think of things I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. It's worked before with my best bud/GM and it never failed to work out great!)
:)

My first inclination was to play a Sliss’pok (Lizardfolk), but then I found the pic and had to create Corvidae instead. I’d love to see a Sliss’pok party member. :D

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I think I may have found exactly what I'm after <3

EDIT: Yep, I love it! As long as Pat says it's OK, this is definitely what I'm gonna go with.

Kinda like a shadowdancer/magus hybrid.

Yep. I *really* like the Shadowdancer, but I‘ve never successfully been able to pull off a build to my satisfaction. I was contemplating trying to utilise it in Corvidae’s build, but it looks like I may not have to.

THAT is so cool Flash! Nice find! :)

So far, in order to satisyfy my usual lust craving for magic, AND be useful as a skill monkey, the only thing I;ve thought of so far was either a straight Investigator, (maybe dual class as sorc/or wiz) or some multi class combo of (insert things I havent figured out yet) maybe Alchemist, Rogue, Wiz/Sorc. But some combo that wont make him worthless at mid/high lvls. >_<

Yeah,... I'm still looking,... ;P

I went an unusual way with my Investigator (Sophistscia). But then I normally go an unusual way with most of my characters. I’m just lucky Pat indulges my oddness. ;)

There’s also the Hyrkmirian race, which is basically a fire giant/dwarf hybrid. Think coal-skinned red haired dwarf 6-7’ tall.

So still wavering between Druid and Shaman. Any thoughts?

If there was ever a time to play that kraken druid, this is it, but I can see shaman working really well too.

Yeah especially Deep Shaman

I didn’t realize that Dungeon Monkey has created a gameplay thread!

Thank goodness for that! :D

Double-"Hmmm",...

So,... where can I find stats for the Hyrkmirians? And are teh Sliss'pok LIZARDfolk, or SERPENTfolk?

Slowly but surely, ideas are germinating.

Lizardfolk

Here you go Rags (and anyone else). Some more story for you all. :)

Well, I’d have to sit down and consider the stats for them. The Sliss’Pok are pretty straight-up lizard folk. They are good alchemists and druids. The Hyrkmirians are fire resistant, and favor both warrior and artificer classes.

Hey All, So concept for my Necromancer am albino. Working on image and stating him up.

What’s Point buy for stats?

25 Epic :-)

Thank you friend

Almost done, will have Jakun up to date no later than tomorrow.

What languages would the "old Ones" and Xoltec necromancers speak?

Speaking of old ones how do you feel about Deep one hybrid

Okay still fleshing out my necromancer some but basically here he is.

I totally love ray of enfleeblement. Sounds like something the Banana Splits would have had.

Ray of Enfeeblement is one of those often overlooked spells for certain. Particularly if your in a "DPS" mindset. As I often tend to be.

;)

Very cool, thank you.

Hrm,... nothing jumping out and crying "PLAY ME!",... Yet.
But I DO have a couple of ideas.

And (so far) none of them are wizards. ;P

Oooh,... New thought,...
Multi class combo,... Alchemist & Druid,...
Think about it,...

O_o

Yeah,... you see the possibilities? ;)

The Sliss’pok would make that work. If you ever explore an ancient Sliss’Pok city you’d come across a lot of ‘created’ creatures. They were masters of bio-creation. They bred creatures for almost every task

Folks, bear with. It’s been a week. I’ll start this up soonish

No worries. My primary client and I got notified at 3pm yesterday that we'd be delivering 3 hours of new training tomorrow morning via a video service we haven't used before, and she had training delivery already scheduled for about half the day today. We worked until around 1:30-2:00 this morning and are just knocking off for today. If it's not ready by now, it ain't gonna happen.

Plus I had 2 other clients get in touch with requests so tomorrow and Friday are gonna be busy. Oh yeah, billing is Friday.

GEEZ.

Better than not getting paid. But I started a bunch of self-improvement things to fill idle days, and they ain't idle no mo.

Speaking of old ones how do you feel about Deep one hybrid

Well, I can work with it. You’d probably come from the other city to the south of Opal, Threepenny Port

I guess it would depend too how far inland we could be venturing. If it’s any more than 10 miles you could be in for a world of hurt.

So... does anyone else find that they can’t edit a character on their phone? I tried to do a little bit with Corvidae last night in bed and couldn’t?

Yes I have had that problem too.

I find that I can only press “Edit” if I flip the view to landscape. In regular upright portrait view, the option is not there.

Well please bear with me. It's my usual 'i thought RL was boring, Buuuut,...' routine. ;P

Yeah,... stuff. >_<

I promise I will come up with something to satisfy my performing needs,
(My PC's DO feel the need to be in the spotlight, if not the center of attention. I SWEAR that's just them! Really!) :)

-Cajun Druid(Shifter)? Nope, already done that, (To be fair, that WAS fun!) ;)

-hybrid sorcerer(Geniemaster)/swashbuckler? Nope, done that,

-Standard Magus? Nope, done that,

-Standard Swashbuckler? Nope, done that,

-Bard with delusions of Investigator? Nope, done that,

-Sorcerer? Nope. Done that SEVERAL times,...

-Wizard? Universalist? Nope. Evocation? No,... Abjurer? No,... Conjurer? No,... Divination? No,...
Waitaminute,...

I really HAVE made more Wiz/Sor characters than JK Rowling!!!
O_o
;P

Bard? It's a big enough party to carry a good buffer, it has spells, and performance is kinda its thing.

There are definitely some interesting bard archetypes for this kind of setting.

Skald!

Turn your phone sideways. Edit button reappears

Yeah and pretty brutal for a Wisdom based caster. I might avoid the race just for that reason.

Looks like human Deep Shaman it is. Still strong ties to the sea and worships some deep old one.

Gonna get to building

Well, I was looking at the options for a ALchemist/Druid combo. But honestly just cant see how to make it work. At least not until mid levels.
(I'm tired. I 'll look at it again tomorrow)

However, if your building a NPC/BBEG, a mid to high lvl combo of this could be nasty,
-Lizardfolk, tough base,
-Vivisectionist Alchemist for sneak attack and Torturous transformation
-Druid w/ access to the various enhance summons feats. And Feat/ability to mutate his summons using Eidolon powers,
Now say that he has used his 'down time' well, and used Torturous Transformation create several permanent Anthropomorphic animal allies, these fight alongside his enhanced summons.
Yeah,... kind of a druid who 'helps' nature by enhancing the animals. Whether they want it or not. ;P

Preservationist Basically a pokemon trainer. Thow bottle, animal comes out. Combine with Augmented summoning tree.

If you also pick up the Planar Preservationist feat you add Summon Monster list

Interesting. Hell, give it a shot and if it does not work I am sure Pat would let you switch :-)

I totally love ray of enfleeblement. Sounds like something the Banana Splits would have had.

Well of course Fleegle was probably the Necromancer of the group focused on fear spellsright?

25 pt buy/ +2 Human

Str 14 5 pts
Dex 16 5 pts +2 human
Con 14 5 pts
Wis 16 10 pts
Int 10
Cha 10

They say you see kid's shows in a whole new light when you grow up, but boy howdy.

They’re all pretty good at dishing out the fear effects in this...

Well, if Mark isn’t doing the kraken druid, maybe you should snap that up ;)

Yeah, I saw the trailer for that.

THAT's all kinds of messed up.
O_o

Yes ... yes it is. A part of my childhood just died watching that.

See? There are TOO many Feats out there!

I did NOT know about this one!

You wouldn't need it if you dual class w/ druid as I was thinking, but for a Vivisectionist/Preservationist Alchemist, That's awesome!

(I subscribe to the theory that while Summon Animal Spells are are good, Summon Monster spells are better. Far better than the bombs you give up for Vivisectionist.) ;)

I've just got back from my med appointments, so I'll start working on stats right now.

OK, looks like we have a full house so far! I'm impressed, everyone seems on board and motivated. I'm going to ask you all to assume you all know each other in a casual friendly manner from hanging out at the Adventurers Guild. We are going to kick this mamma jamma off.
