Stormcrow's Return of the Runelords

Game Master stormcrow27

Looking over bladed scarf…if I were to make someone using it, I’d probably do this, to make use of it being 2-handed and finesse:

Class: Unchained Rogue
Str (13) Dex (18)
Feats:
Lvl 1: Weapon Finesse, Exotic Weapon Proficiency
Lvl 2: Power attack
Lvl 3: Furious focus, Dex to damage

So at lv 3 with a +1 weapon:

+7 hit and 1d6+9 damage with 2d6 sneak attack

Go to lvl 4 for debilitating injury. From there switch classes for full BaB. From there switch to a different full BaB class. Urban Bloodrager is good, as it gives a Dex boost.

——

Another option is this:

Race: Human
- Exotic weapon prof
- Str 14 Dex 18

Class: Weapon Master Fighter
Lvl 1: Weapon Finesse, Power Attack
Lvl 2: Furious Focus
Lvl 3: Weapon Focus, Weapon Training
Lvl 4: Weapon Specialization
Lvl 5: Advanced Weapon Training - Trained Grace (Ex) When the fighter uses Weapon Finesse to make a melee attack with a weapon, using his Dexterity modifier on attack rolls and his Strength modifier on damage rolls, he doubles his weapon training bonus on damage rolls. The fighter must have Weapon Finesse in order to choose this option.

Grab dueling gloves. This gives you weapon training 3, so you have +3 hit and +6 damage.

Finally, dip into Savage Technologist Barbarian. Rage gives +4 Str, +4 Dex and +2 Will Saves. Take extra rage feat.

So at lvl 6 when raging:

To Hit: +6/+1 (BaB) + 2 (Enchantment) + 1 (Weapon Focus) + 3 (Weapon Training) + 6 (Dex) - 0/2 (Power Attack) = +18/+11
Damage: 1d6 (Base) + 2 (Enchantment) + 2 (Weapon Specialization) + 6 (Weapon Training) + 6 (Str) + 6 (Power Attack) = 1d6+22

——-

That’s pretty decent damage. I think that it would do well enough. From here can go back to fighter and pick up this:

Focused Weapon (Ex) The fighter selects one weapon for which he has Weapon Focus and that belongs to the associated fighter weapon group. The fighter can deal damage with this weapon based on the damage of the warpriest’s sacred weapon class feature, treating his fighter level as his warpriest level. The fighter must have Weapon Focus with the selected weapon in order to choose this option.

So the 1d6 base damage will be quickly replaced.

I think you can get around exotic weapon proficiency with varisian tatoo or heritage traits, or by worshipping Sivanah.

Heh, I wasnt looking at unchained rouge as a basis though, struggled to get dex to damage. Could actually see this working, especially under elephant in the room where weapon finesses and power attack are free and you dont need 13 STR for power attack.

Happy Holidays to all. ;)

Merry Christmas!

Sorry for the delay. I had two of my wisdom teeth removed on Monday and have been in pain since then. I'll get a post response up tomorrow

I understand. I was pretty out of the it the week I had my wisdom teeth removed.

I don't think anyone expects much gameplay during the winter holidays.

Indeed. Get some rest and feel better :)

Postin' to say that I'm still here! been busy with real life, should be posting regularly once I get caught up with work.

For what its worth all of my games had a decrease in posting frequencies lately. I think its Covid, Storms (Germany just had a big one) and other stuff.

@GM

I sent you a PM concerning Erics possibly conversion process to a certain plot relevant entity, as well as the source of the chuckles in his mind, any feedback on that on your part?

Suggestions to speed up combat:

-GM rolls for init
-GM rolls AoOs for player characters (I currently have 3)
-If an example initiative order is:

Eric
Koshon
Evil Goons
Morelda
Thurin
BBEG
Loren
Mossbeard

then it it is not neccessary for Koshon to wait on Eric, either of them goes before the Goons and can post in either order.

Thoughts?

I have no objections to the above.

The combat suggestions by Eric sounds fine by me. :)

My apologies for not posting. Couldn't log in for a few days, and just had surgery on my ankle yesterday (no walking for 6 weeks). At home recovering now. Sorry for the delay.

Best wishes on the ankle recovery, Thurin.

The combat suggestions work fine for me.

Stupid web forums. I've been fighting for a week to get back in and finally got my account reset today. Combat updates coming up now.

Glad to have you back! Also, FIRST BLOOD for LOREL WHOOOP!

Fun fact, Eric has more experience breaking out of dungeons then getting into them.

Practical experience either way

Apologies for the belated postings over on my end- been busy with RL stuff and all.

Still having the delayed posting bit on the message board although it's really only noticeable with each initial new posting.

One way to tell if your post does go through [but is on 'delay' mode], is to check on the recent threads part directly below the posting area/box; the updated thread will show with your username listed in the relevant thread that you've posted in. :)

PS. 'Probly' takes a few minutes to be visible for regular viewing; subsequent editing of the previous posting goes much faster too. Might be some kinda new-fangled, anti-babaji device for all we know. ;p

PPS. also depends on the length of time editing a post via backtracking time-counts.

I apologize for the slow pace of posting responses fo4 the game. I've had to switch jobs 3 times from March to June, and my income and time have finally stabilized. Thanks for your patience in this, and I'll be far more responsive to game posts from now on

Gee WHIZ! Glad things are starting to even out for you.

Good to hear that RL circumstances have worked out over on your end of things, stormcrow27. ;)

My life has gotten very busy with my new job, and I don't currently have time to dedicate to PbP. I'm dropping out. Sorry.

Best wishes to you on your new job, Lorel. ;)

Unfortunately due to work constraints and the fact I'm moving in two months to a city that's only 20 minutes away from work, I won't be able to continue the campaigns. I apologize as I really did want to continue,
Thanks for playing and I hope I get more free time to run again.

Looks like Koshon and Morelda are only a couple in Eric's drawing pad. It was interesting to play a gregori. Hope I can do so again.

Sadface, was fun playing a genuinely good if mildly crazy guy.

No worries, stormcrow27, and best wishes on your upcoming move. :)

Koshon and Eric [and everybody else- past and present], good to have interacted with your respective characters; I'm sure that there will be further opportunities down the line to create/play similar such characters on these pbp boards. :)
