I'm like 85% done with Mithuth, but we've been in the middle of not only a heat wave, but also crazy storms. The heat's been pretty draining, so I haven't really had the energy or motivation to finish my PC these last 4 or 5 days or so.
Tomorrow the temp should be getting back to more reasonable numbers, so I should be able to finish by about Mon.
Can there be a population of nu mou in Sarlona, or Xen'Drik, or somewhere planar? I love the lop-eared little guys.
Or maybe as a one-off creation of some mad Cannith arcanist tampering with the building blocks of life, or a relic of the giants/dragons/rakshasa dug up and unleashed during the Last War...the wandering, amnesiac, mostly depowered bio-weapon who, unbeknownst to them, was the cause of the Mourning? Eberron meets FF meets Guilty Gear.
My character is a Nu Mou; I made them from Breland, because I've always seen them as vaguely French. Except nice.
Just checking in since things have bogged down. We still going to be doing this?
Is everyone done?
I have been for a while now, I imagine we all are since questions tapered off and stopped.
*Looks expectantly at the others*
Tyrant has also been done for a while. I think it was Monkeygod finishing up, and then a question for Toptomcat.
Yes, Guiscard is finished.
Giri is ready to go.
Been a weird two weeks for me but should be done tomorrow.
Well, if the answer to all my questions that I put in here is "yes, you can do that", then yes, I am ready.
I am using Hume as Human, I'm pretty sure that's ok.
Reckless Luck is normally a trait from the Pathfinder NG halfing goddess Chaldira of Battle, luck, mischief, I substituted Olladra, Neutral Good goddess of Good Fortune, Feast, and Plenty, figuring that "Luck" and "NG" weren't bad unifying themes.
Right now I'm just a normally built, no Gestalt, no Gestalt Archetype character, and honestly... I feel pretty good with that, even after looking at some of the posted fully built up gestalt characters. My defenses and single attacks seem to be keeping pace just fine. Conceptually, all I need to fulfill my vision is Dragoon(Valkyrie) applied normally. So, I'm thinking I keep my gestalt/free archetypes in the back pocket, to fill any gaps after you pick a team. If you have a team you like but we need a healer I can nab White Mage or something like that, and so on. I posted my interest and my full build one day apart, so as you can see, I can build the other half of the gestalt VERY fast once we know what the party needs.
Well, if the answer to all my questions that I put in here is "yes, you can do that", then yes, I am ready.

The first two are fine -- you can't just make up your own build rules that you'd prefer to use, we all need to use the same rules.

Roger, in that case, I'm changing up and almost done. Just selecting a few feats.
I wanted to ask about
"Radiant Charge
Prerequisites: Lay on hands class feature.
Benefit: When you hit with a charge attack, you can expend all of your remaining uses of lay on hands to deal extra damage equal to 1d6 per use of lay on hands expended + your Charisma bonus. This damage comes from holy power and is not subject to damage reduction, energy immunities, or energy resistances."
Normally this is "Pathfinder Holy" which can't be countered, but it feels more appropriate to me if we just treat it as regular Final Fantasy Holy type damage. Is that alright?
what's the difference?
Pathfinder Holy damage says "It can't be countered by resistances or immunities", whereas in FF Holy damage is another damage type like the others, that people can have resistance/immunity/vulnerability to.
Complete. I'm fine with whichever way you rule Radiant Charge on Pathfinder vs FF holy damage.
Also, I'd just like to say that I love that FFd20 has the Curing Belt, which reminds me of the old Healing belt of 3.5 and my first experiences with Eberron.
Alright. Everything's migrated and Sieghart should be completely finished.
Picking out my last couple of feats, then need to choose spells, but more or less done.
Quick question for clarity, since things changed a several times over:
Exactly how many feats in total do we get?
One per level
Later than anticipated, in large part because I actually made a switch in character as I just couldn't get my head around the changeling in a satisfying manner.
So instead I present Sawbones, a Warforged Engineer | Medic. As it stands I'm just spending his money and am done beyond that.
He is a small size Warforged using the race from the Eberron conversion.
While not supposed to actually work as a healer the Jorasco healers did train him do deal with all but the most severe cases so he could help them handle the ever increasing flow of wounded soldiers, be they flesh or construct.
Eventually he was also sent onto battlefields after the fighting had died down to both look for survivors and to scavenge parts from dead warforged to use in the repairs of other warforged. It was during such a run that he stumbled upon a broken down prototype of an elementally infused siege weapon from which he salvaged it's khyber shard containing a bound earth elemental.
Having both a relatively high degree of freedom and a lot of free time at night while their group was travelling, Swabones started to employ his ever increasing knowledge of warforged anatomy to upgrade himself in hopes of becoming better at his work. While he started fairly simple, upgrading his night vision, he soon got the plan of integrating his salvaged elemental core into his own body. While his first attempt nearly met with catastrophic failure he eventually managed to succeed and almost immediately noticed an increase in power.
By the time the war ended Sawbones was less a servant and more another colleague to his fellow healers, being the only constant in the squad's roster. While he initially kept his elemental integration secret from everybody, it in time became a shared secret within the group as it was impossible to constantly hide the crystalline growths protruding from his frame.
A free warforged after the treaty of Thronehold, Sawbones nevertheless travelled with his comrades to their new assignment, landing him in the House Jorasco enclave in Newthrone. Yet this concept of true freedom kept gnawing at the back of his mind and while doing his work he is just looking for a good enough reason to leave the enclave and find his own path.
Is everyone done?
I just wanted to reassure everyone I'm here even though I've been slow recently -- I have a very busy week finishing up an accelerated chemistry class and finishing some pre-registration paperwork for nursing school, so I'm not going to get back into online gaming in earnest until late next week.
I am still here and ready to get started.
Thanks for the heads up too, good luck.
Finally added Tyrant's different forms to his page. Thus, I also discovered that I'm missing 4 languages. What would be prudent to take for our region?
Indeed, Illiane is finished. Ready at your leisure.
Sawbones is 95% done. Some purchases left to do but the character itself is finished
Yup, done.
I'll try to catch monkeygod on discord in the next few days and see if he's done; otherwise, we'll plan on studying the end of this week or Monday, after I've finished my final and I have some time to complete my campaign prep.
Ok, I'm ready to get started. I contacted Monkey on Discord, but haven't heard back. He may be busy with irl issues, but he's been on this board for a long time, so I assume he'll circle back around when he's available.
Let me make some prefatory comments to orient you to the first scenario -- we're still going to be starting in Q'barra, but I've decided that our initial location is going to be a city-state I've homebrewed to fit a conversion of an old dungeon magazine adventure I'm going to use as the first scenario. Expect the first scenario to be urban adventuring and some subterranean sewer spleunking.
This city-state is known as Daal-Aryn, and is ruled by hierocratic adherents of Dol Arrah, the Sovereign Host deity of the Sun and Justice. Hierocrats are sectarians that treat one of the deities of the Sovereign Host as principle above others. This particular sect, known as the Lanterns of the Everlasting Aurora, venerates Dol Arrah as the principle source of life and civilization -- a strongly henotheistic, if not monotheistic faith.
Okay, first post up, everyone come up with some reason that you've come to the city gates. Let's try not to drag out the introduction bits too much, that often kills pbp from my experience.
I heard back from monkey -- he should be posting soon. Everyone else, we're getting started, go ahead and post whenever you want.
Can you make a Discussion thread so we can get the campaign to show up in our Campaign pages?
Gotcha, I'll intro tomorrow morning.

just made it
Just to clarify how we're going to do combat -- I'm going to post, mostly fairly elaborate, maps of everything so you'll know the layout etc. of every significant location.
Honestly, I've run out of energy to deal with moving lots of little tokens around a map, waiting for people to move theirs or having to post them and ask where everyone wants their tokens, and trying to deal with loss of resolution issues in moving images between formats and locations.
I'm going to give you maps but we're just going to just use it for basic location and movement and not worry about a lot of strategic details -- so it will be a mix of theater of the mind and a battle map. Placement will mostly be if it's essentially possible we'll just go with that and not worry about stuff too much.
I'll basically give you a map of the room and say the enemies are on the other side, or something similar "You're on the left side, they're on the right side". If it's reasonable to assume flanking, you'll flank, and just use common sense instead of a lot of wargamming measurements. I hope no one finds that disappointing, I just don't have time or energy to deal with the fiddly bits.
Finally, once monkey joins us, we'll have 6 players. That's as much as I think usually works for PbP, so if you haven't finished and posted yet, please hold off, and I'll consider you to swap in if someone drops.
Fair enough, best of luck then.
i will throw my name in for the waiting list. No ideas yet, but when the time comes if i could see a list of consolidated rules that would be awesome.
been out of the pbp boards for awhile but Eberron is a surefire way to suck me back in
Anyone here want to play in a Greyhawk game with either a non-caster build with spheres of might and path of war or a caster with spheres of power and akashic mysteries? It looks like I have some spaces.
Hmm, I would be interested. I am a big fan of the spheres system, might and power. And I am sure a lot has changed since I last looked at it.
I'm also gathering interest for a potential 3pp only homebrew concept.
