Welp, that would be cuz I'm a dumbass, and completely forgot to include it.
I would like to keep the greater polymorph 3/day for 1 min/level if possible.
I think you are missing things again...
You had three wishes:
1) "Ever since I was a little Monkey, I've been drawn to the various trickster deities in mythology. Hermes, Loki, Coyote, Anasai, etc. I've always been fascinated by shapechangers of all kinds as well. Thus for my first wish, I wish for the legendary shapeshifting powers of those gods, for ability to not only take on forms mundane, magickal, and mythical, but to also gain the special abilities, superhuman powers, and even aspects of the internal anatomy of whatever I become. Thus, if I were to become a dragon, I would have their breath weapon, natural attacks, and whatever other powers they might possess. Whereas if I became a wolf, I would gain their enhanced senses, endurance(wolves can often run for days without tiring), and bite attack."
Greater polymorph 3/day for 1 min/level but you also must have the material component.
(Yes that would make sense to have the other type aspects available to you too. Angelic Aspect, Monstrous Physique, Fae Form, etc)
2) "For my next wish, I wish my words carried more weight to those who heard them, that my leadership was more effective to those who stand with me, and that my ways would be better received by others."
Your next wish confers upon you the Honest Trait, a +1 on Cha, and the leadership feat.
3) Save the wish for later.
and gained a super ability: Luck
Separate Background bonuses:
super memory: +1 Int
+4 Cha (with bonuses from above)
4 ranks in diplomacy and 2 ranks in sense motive
1 rank for Arcana, Nature, Planes, Religion and Spellcraft. You may give yourself another rank in whichever one you think you know the best.
Yes you can have Eidetic Recollection: An investigator can always choose to take 10 on any of his Knowledge checks, even if he’s in immediate danger or distracted. An investigator may expend one use of inspiration to take 20 on a Knowledge skill check even if he’s in immediate danger or distracted.
You get inspiration points equal to your level as if you were an investigator.
I lost track and adjusting things now who took what from the barrel:
One of the longswords likely has been in the barrel a long time since there is a lot of rust on it. You also find a dagger, a longsword, a glaive, and a short sword within the barrel.
OH! Haha, yeah, I hadn't included that yet cuz I had yet to make up my mind on what ability I wanted. Then once I did, I was waiting for your approval.
I will update everything now.
GM, question that could affect others(either now or possibly over the course of the game):
If we get a bonus rank(s) in a skill, does it also become a class skill if it wasn't already?
and gained a super ability: Luck
"I do know what I want for my first, protected wish. Back when I was alive, on Earth, I always said that if I ever got a wish that could grant me more or less anything, I would want the powers of the character Meggan from Excalibur. Now, I realize she has a ton of powers and abilities, including powerful shapechanging, reactive evolution, power mimicry, and control of the natural elements, among others. As such, I doubt I could have all of her powers all at once."
Though you never wished for it...
Gaining bonus ranks is based off of you knowledge. It does not become a class skill unless we specifically state it. In your case you can use diplomacy as a class skill and if it already was a class skill you gain a +1 trait bonus.
I did indeed!: "Thus for my first wish, I wish for the legendary shapeshifting powers of those gods, for ability to not only take on forms mundane, magickal, and mythical, but to also gain the special abilities, superhuman powers, and even aspects of the internal anatomy of whatever I become. Thus, if I were to become a dragon, I would have their breath weapon, natural attacks, and whatever other powers they might possess. Whereas if I became a wolf, I would gain their enhanced senses, endurance(wolves can often run for days without tiring), and bite attack."
The material component for Polymorph and it's greater variety is a a piece of the creature whose form you plan to assume.
However, sorcerer's get Eschew Materials as a bonus feat. Would that affect needing the material component, or are you overriding that for RP/story purposes. I would be totally okay with that if you are. Could be interesting mini quests, especially for the more exotic forms!
Downside is I would need to continuously update a list of pieces/parts, and keep replacing them, as I believe material components are used up as you cast a spell.

Updated my character sheet, and included hyperlinks to all my non standard abilities. Let me know if there's anything else I am missing that should be on there.
Also, do I get the standard use of Inspiration or just to fuel Eidetic Recollection?

Okay I will take a look!
Just to fuel Eidetc Recollection.
Are we loosing steam!? Come on guys interact with each other, keep it going!
I am going to move us ahead. You have a good 6 hours before you likely get tired. So what do you do in those 6 hours, where do you sleep, how do you wake up? Moving us into the next day's morning.

Losing steam has GOT to have been a pun ... right?
GM, I gotta hand it to you (and that was NOT a pun), this is a massively fun, but/and thought provoking campaign. Especially in its comprehensive and thorough nature. It's a full-on do-over, if I had known then story, with oh by the way I'm a monster thrown in. Wow.
AND
All the stuff you don't think of sitting there with the Angel of the Ressuretion/Redirection. All of the Chosen are "born again" and by born again, I mean like born, again. Like they're 'new' ... and I'm just gonna use the word NEW for a little while, because I'm not ready to test if I even can use the V-word. But these guys are NEW, like new NEW.
So let's be clear, if you sat me down now, or later, or whatever, and you offered me a do-over, there are a good handful of things I would do over, smarter, but wow ... sex. I haven't been 'new' in a very very long time. Now there's this fantasy world, and let me just be candid, a world without silicone-based "friction reduction" products is really going to be a whole different ballgame.
WE all know there's like a subReddit devoted to b*gd*ckproblems ... right? Contrary to all the binary based cultural mythologies, boys losing their 'newness' is a thing too, a thing which hurts too sometimes for some of us (and I mean our wieners, not our bumms) [which is a whole different discussion]
Yeah, that pun I meant ...
Basically what I am saying is that this campaign is SO good that now I can't sleep because I have never really in all the game worlds of all the gaming companies in ALL the year ever seriously considered what it would specifically be like for any of my characters to lose or have lost their 'newness' ...
"Dear Future GMs, you may or may not be ready for my 10-minute background. Please be aware that based on a recent campaign, it is somewhat more thorough than you might be ready for ..."

I agree. GM Wolf creates amazing gaming opportunities.
I am glad that this campaign brings such newness! That was the intention. I love Isekai shows and anime. The what if I was put into another world!
This is a journey for all of us to explore and learn from. With that in mind I likely need to make a disclaimer: If you don't want to be involved in such extreme situations please let me know and I will do my best to make this experience as pleasant as possible for all parties involved. If something makes you feel awkward or uncomfortable please let me know and we will see what adjustments we can make. This goes along the line of players just quitting out of no where because of ______ (fill in the blank) but you never brought it up before. I try to be as open as possible!
GM, outta sheer curiosity, how do you plan on handling leveling for this game? The general Isekai/video game concept seems to lend itself to getting XP for all our quests, kills, etc. But, I could also see milestone leveling making a lot of sense.
Also, is it too late to add another part of my backstory for a couple more minor bonuses? I just realized there's a few things I could add while talking to my bro about the game last night.
Its going to be milestones. Once you accomplish so many quests or get to a certain area you will be ready to level up.
Also you will all learn at odd levels you will have to do a ritual to level up.
I am fine with you guys still adding to your background as you remember things. Like most of you are likely competent users of computers which would give you ranks in Use computers, though that skill may not be needed in this game. You never know!
I have been adjusting the random table so, if you get the same roll you will likely get something different.
Weapon of your choice +1.
Will Save DC 14 each day or take 1 point of Charisma damage.
*Daily Quest*: Train to become a formidable combatant
Requirements:
Push-ups 0/100
Sit-ups 0/100

Random Loot Box
Out of your Random Loot Box comes a cell phone, it has a glowing crystal attached to it. Your finger print unlocks it and you can put in a new password if you want.
So you trading in 5 Points for a bonus feat. Make a special Spoiler called Boosts on your character sheet. Add the feat with the other normal feats and behind it put (Boost).
** spoiler omitted **
WHOA
Aw man! Please reconsider, Sage. but I understand when you aren't feeling a campaign. Still, I wish you wouldn't go.
As the random item box would generate a magical weapon. Making one and the curse is upon it.
I’m going to step away as well, at least for now. I might have been able to keep up with the pace of this game normally, but my work has gotten really busy lately, and that’s likely to persist through mid-May. After things drop off, if y’all are open to it, I may come back. But for the next couple of months, at least, I need to step away. Sorry. I should have spent more time thinking about that before starting a game this time of year. Happy gaming, everyone!
:( Enjoy your masterwork bastard sword.
Jonathan: If GM Wolf gives me the go-ahead to retcon the scene, I wanted to give you the greatsword. Sure you aren't proficient in wielding it effective (-4), but you would be able to wield it like a giant longsword, allowing you to use your height and strength to plow through enemies. What are your thoughts?
We understand people get busy. Thanks for realizing it and letting us know. Your character will likely stick around in New Beginnings and we can catch you up once you return!
GM, thanks a ton for the Feat, that would be awesome, but I also feel like I missed something, or a ton of posts ... what happened?
Who knows ... maybe Zaidel/Xeph/Thunderer/Waskel blocked me by accident.
Anyway, thank you, but not feeling it now that I can't even message.
Really though, thank you.
** spoiler omitted **
Wrote to you on FB also :)
@Jacen, I just sent you a test message. Hopefully you got it.
I did get a message from Zadiel yesterday, and I replied. Did you get my response?
I also messaged our GM a few days ago, but got no reply. I wonder if they haven't gotten a chance to, or if it never arrived....

Another "feature" here on the Paizo Boards ... and people have issues with Discord? Uh huh. #MESS
If messaging and such is an issue, I have a discord we can all make use of.
Zaidel is already in there, and Jon and I share a couple discords as well. Could make things much easier. Plus, I feel it helps build relations between players better.
Yes that is a possibility Monkeygod.
The games that I GM are on Discord for that reason also ... and I love Jon's game that he is developing ...
IanAndrewTroi#9275
Would be happy to add anyone who is interested :)
Invites sent!

Ooooh, love?
[spoiler=Zaidel]It's better than a dagger. Especially if I'm allowed to just qualify it as a giant-sized longsword, which is, uh, exactly what it is.[/ooc]
|
The down size to Jon using a medium weapon as a smaller type large weapon is there is a penalty (-2 per size category) to using a weapon that is not the right size. The blade may be the same length, but the pommel is off. Which is why I suggested just finding a big enough branch to make a large great club or large club.

Anybody else up for joining my discord? Just created the Arcanium channel for the Chosen :) So far, myself, Zaidel, John, and Jacen are in there!
GM, did you ever get my PM on Mon?
On discord I am:
coreyllon
Need the numbers, like how Jacen posted above.
Khor Wolf Knight#3088
Sorry Monkey I saw it and got distracted.
Well that would be an assumption. You may look for a staff, you might find a club or a quarterstaff. Heading into the forest would drastically improve your chance at finding one.
Honestly someone making a quarter staff would likely sell it for a gold piece. We are talking about a carved piece of wood.
