There are no beginnings nor endings to the turnings of the Wheel of Time...
but this Is a beginning
Got to thinking about this game, and it's time start up the old group again. plus i saw ryvin and keelix had posted not a couple days ago, which prompted this.
so i thought it'd be a good idea to create a new thread to indicate the new start for our stalwart heroes.
Yo.
Excellent
Here.
Sweet. I got 4! 3 above, plus a new guy from my other WOT game.
Just an FYI: Ryvin, rhoekk, Fia, and whoever else from the first group, when you guys step through the portal, youre stepping out onto the outskirts of Shadar Logoth...and the onset of the Cleansing of Saidan. And we all know what happened then. So brace yourselves, cuz im going to throw all 14 books at you for this fight. Who knows, you may earn the feat weave resistance greater.

I guess that makes me the new guy :)
Looking at an Asha'man archetype from a multiclass of Initiate and Dai'dore.
Hey guys, I will come play, but I am afk until Thursday.
Cheers till then.
So working on the crunch for my Asha'man, did you all take the pathfinder's human Standard Racial Traits? ie. the + 2 to a stat and a beginning feat?
So three levels of Initiate, thee levels of Dai'dore and five levels of Ahsa'man. I assume that's high enough to claim both pins?
RIZZENMAGNUS at eight levels of male channeler would you like to roll the dice for madness? Not sure how to work that in, would you like to assign certain 'ticks' or do you want me to pick them, letting me know if they should be severe or not?
no. since its 95% humans out there, with just nationalities of humans (plus ogiers), they did not.
yeah, you can claim both pins and be considered full asha'man.
for the madness, im going to put you at 37 points of madness. you can portray it however you want.
This is RH's Asha'man, Went 3 levels Dai'dore, 6 levels Initiate and two levels Asha'man
OK, a straight 30 pt. buy, no standard human racial traits.
both pins :)
His madness is 37, if I understand this right, any time he is injured or required to make a will save, he makes a 'madness' will save which will be against the 37 points of madness. If he fails. He then rolls a D20 and subtracts that from the 37 madness rating. So he will panic, withdrawal or fury depending on the D20.
A quick question about weaves. The handbook says "if you have all of the listed Affinities, count the weave as being one level lower than it's listed level." So if a channeler is channeling a '0' level weave and has all the affinities does it count agains the '0' slot or does it basically mean the channeler can use that '0' level weave as often as they want without using slots?
A few book keeping rolls:
so a ter'angreal
May as well for HP as well,
Max HPs
Oh, I like that much better! Also forgot there were two rolls on the 'power table' So here goes #2: ter'angreal
I've got a rough outline on Taldo/Lucian's backstory, I should have more of it hammered out and posted today. Basically a kid who grew up in Caemlyn His father was a sucessful tanner, who paid for sword lessons for his son. When 'the dragon reborn' came to Andor, the young man wanted to fight, going to 'the farm' to join Rand's growing army. He proved competent in the 'one power' but the constant practice/casting broke his mind. So he now has a split personality. At the begining of the day he will be the fun loving friendly Taldo (a childhood nickname). When he fails a 'Madness roll' he will change to the seriously dower Lucian.
dotted and deleted in game :)
taldo, youre one of the asha'man assigned to protecting the Dragon while he does his cleansing. So youre going to literally run into the group as they emerge onto the hill. Youre on high alert, with orders to kill first, ask questions later. But hold off on posting until i tell you to. i want to give the other PCs an opportunity to realize that they are back.
Got it, I figured with the intro, (which was well done as always) that I would need to wait a bit.
Ok, we know how the 'party' got to Shadar Logath, I've been trying to figure out How Lucian does to fit it into his backstory. So I've been reading book nine again to sort it out.
It looks like before Rand went to Far Madding meeting Casuane's group he was only traveling with: Min, Nynaeva, Lan and Alivia. So does that mean that my character was with Casuane's group up until that time? The other three Ashe'man had become warders for the Aes Sedai.
Any Ideas or restrictions for how he is include with this group?
Just a heads up, I'm travelling starting tomorrow and will likely have very sparse posting until next Mon or Tues.
i sent pings to rhoekk, keelix, and amorial. amorial got back saying he couldnt join us, but havent heard back from rhoekk or keelix.
Well, we have three channelers, they could form a circle...
Still need to know if there are any 'guidelines' as how Taldo got there. I assuming he stayed with the other Asha'man who were Rand's abandoned guards, but he refused to be anyone's warder.
Would he have been out scouting around and see the 'characters' step through the portal?
well, it's been a week and havent heard from keelix and rhoekk. which is a pity.
how would you guys feel if i opened this up for recruitment for a 4th person?
as for taldo, sure, he can be the only asha'man without being bonded to an Aes Sedai. I can play a little loose with how this works compared to the books.
Sorry, I have been around, and am psyched to be playing this game again. I'm just a little overwhelmed with some real life stuff. I'm very happy to see the game running again, but the timing isnt great for me. If you can hang in there, i will be able to participate better soon.
Hey Rhoekk, glad to see your still with us :)
as for taldo, sure, he can be the only asha'man without being bonded to an Aes Sedai. I can play a little loose with how this works compared to the books.
If it would fit the storyline better I don't mind if he was 'bonded' we would just need to sort that out.
I was thinking that his 'madness' had developed just far enough that it probably wasn't safe for anyone to bond him. The other ashe'man promised Cadsuane to help her keep an eye on him.
That's probably also the reason he isn't in one of the 'circles' and is out 'scouting' on his own.
i wouldnt worry about it. youre not bonded to anyone.
This is WOTrpg/pathfinder 1.0/ homebrewed rules
@deathmetaldragon they are level 12
Chen could get a prostetic leg
Just double checking Taldo/Lucian is level 11...
ahh ok. ill update that.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
What's up everyone. Your favorite giant armored Ogier is back.
Welcome back :)
Huh, I would ask channelers to read the arms of air weave. It seams to me if I interpret it right. If you were to use it as a 6th level weave and violently hurl, me(Chen) at another creature(or 4 assuming medium size and they were standing optimally) I take 1d6 damage of fall damage regardless of distance thrown and since I am a dense object, I would deal 1d6 damage to the area I impact, per 25 lbs of me and gear which coming in total at 1270 lbs would mean 50.8 so 50 d6 of damage to enemies in the Aoe. We should experiment with this. For a max potenial of 300 damage.
Ok, got the post up, thanks for letting me join the game Rizz, I look forward to playing with you all.
I had forgotten to post Taldo's/Lucian's personality/appearance on their page, that has been rectified. Still working out the kinks on how to play in 'insanity.' Will follow the outline rulebook, still working out what it will look like in game.
I don't play a lot of casters and this is my first attempt for a channeler in WoT. Any recommendations or observations would be appreciated.
Interesting idea Chen, Taldo/Lucian have access to two fourth level weave (which would allow to use that weave at 6th level) curious to know if Rizz would let us give it a try...
how combat is run in my adventures.
Combat:
I have found the following to be an easy way to manage combat within a pbp setting. Others may do it differently, but for me, this way works, and is easy.
1) players will have 24 hours to post their combat actions.The DM posts (on average) at 12pm CST. This means that after I post, you will have until either 24hours or 12PM CST to post a combat response.
2) Player initiative is managed by first come, first post, first combat action. meaning that you dont have to wait for someone else to post before you due to a higher initiative. If youre on the board, post your action and whomever comes next can react to your actions.
3) The DM goes last in combat. always.
4) when the DM posts for combat, that is the end of the round, and a new round starts.
Hey Rizz, not sure if were giving the other two time to catch up for this round or not, I'm waiting to the last moment to post to give them time, but I need to take my mom to a doctor's appointment.
Is Chen close enough to have intimidated Taldo?
Either way, If I don't get back in time, he will take two move actions south trying to draw them away from Rand and into a moving battle where he may have a chance dealing with them one by one.
I'm just getting around to levelling up Ryvin, but it seems there's something ... off ... about the website that offered the WoT Pathfinder conversion. Can anyone help me out?
yeah i can help.

You are a prince among GMs. ^_^
lol
if i remember correctly, youre the only one who's using the conversion book. everyone else did my homebrew combo. i remember rhoekk saying he didnt like the new conversion setup as it didnt allow him to have a good means of replicating an aiel as found in the books.
Levelling to Wilder 11 / Armsman 1

yeah, Taldo would take... the 5 rounds ... 30 seconds... to run. Then Lucian is headed back to keep trying to blow them up...
I will post in game shortly, but I hope there is a plan to stop the PVP, I really hate it.
no problem....the pain is coming tomorrow.
i will say this, it doesnt know Balefire...
just found out hasbro is crowdfunding Heroquest...
Remind me what version of healing we use? Is it out of the book? i.e. 2nd level weave takes a minute and only converts to subdual... or did we change that?
Also, Ryvin, take a look at Under the Dragon's Banner. Splitting the Flows and Simultaneous Casting feats in particular. :)
pg 176 in the wheel of time RPG pdf is what I used
>:D
Hey, Ferb. I know which I want to take at my next level-up, mwuhahahahaaa...
Can you say 'simulweaving lightning and riven earth'?
Yeah, unfortunately I won't ever qualify for that one, so I took the splitting flows instead.
hey everyone,
it looks like RL has affected some people, preventing them from posting. Rhoekk has been a few weeks, and fia and ryvin are over a week now. not saying this is bad or anything like that, just that i understand, and this provides a good situation for us. (i know i am guilty at missing days between posting, so please, dont think im being mean or anything like that towards anyone)
Now, i was thinking id advance the story line slightly ahead. it'd give an opportunity for these two new people from the recruiting thread to easily join the group and participate in the adventure.
Hi there! I found some time away from work emails today (Thanks COVID), and I'm here. :D
I think I got the character built accordingly, and am ready to jump into the story! I'm looking forward to this one, I really enjoy the world and the books, and I GMed one of my most memorable campaigns in this setting so long ago, but my players continue to bring it up. :D
