you too Reldak Vol

Busy couple of days, thank you for the opportunity... will try to have something today or over the US Holiday weekend.

Yes, Thanksgiving here tomorrow.

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving! I'm in the US, myself.

Thoughts on languages a Barbarian Goblin might learn?

I've got Common, Goblin, xxx, xxx, xxx

Regional or monster that would fit this campaign? Does he need Draconic for being a Wizard (or does he get it auto-magically)?

Item-wise, is Wand of Shield a thing?

Draconic is the language of dragons. Magical speech is just a small part of that.

**I do not wish to step on any Rogue or trap finding toes. I can swap out some options to make him less "trap-py" as needed and perhaps strengthen some other aspects. With another archetype, I can lose trap finding and trap sense all together.

The Goblin... something like this.

I may change one spell and their bond/familiar.

Are chakram allowed? Didn't know if they violate the European weapons only directive. Trying to add some range.

From one player to another I feel a Bardiche is more playing to the mechanics (aka meta gaming) rather than playing to the aesthetics (aka role playing) as why would would such a small creature employ such a weapon if they are a more scout oriented and eventually a more spell caster oriented character as has been outlined by the background. Scouts tend to use single handed weapons and missile weapons rather than two-handed melee weapons and spell caster definitely do not gravitate to melee weapons at all unless they are specifically built to exploit that.

Scouts tend to use single handed weapons and missile weapons rather than two-handed melee weapons and spell caster definitely do not gravitate to melee weapons at all unless they are specifically built to exploit that.

Interestingly, I just submitted to another game, a kobold caster with a big melee weapon, a nodachi specifically, thus I think I can give a few rp reasons for a small primary caster to have a big stick.

First, an adventurer is basically a mercenary, so even if their primary role is caster, they are still knowingly going into combat. Prudence dictates being able to defend oneself across all likely attack vectors, and melee is bad for casting spells, so a melee weapon is preferable should melee happen, and if you have a melee weapon, might as well make it a good one, and one that is intimidating.

Second, uncertainty. If the opposition sees you casting spells, the first idea to counter is to attack in melee, but if the caster is carrying a big dangerous weapon, then they are likely to be wary rather than jump straight into melee as they don't know just how good the caster is with the big weapon. This makes enemies uncertain how to best attack the caster.

Three, little guys need to keep up dmg wise with the big folks. Even a little person carrying a weapon taller than them is a big problem for normal sized people.

Fourth, little guys need to be taken seriously. Big folks are unlikely to take what amounts to a kitchen knife seriously, but a four foot polearm, that demands more respect even at half size.

Besides, if your enemy is casting utility and support spells while carrying a massive f all weapon, would you really approach into melee with them?

Thus, it really can be an rp choice, especially for those, like me, who really don't like classic stereotypes such as casters being incompetent at melee.

Interesting, cus the heaviest hitter in this game is wielding a scimitar.

Interesting, cus the heaviest hitter in this game is wielding a scimitar.

Characters do not see stats, they do not know stats. In fact, players know more than the people who use such weapons for their whole lives. Often, a difference of 1 point is something a player can see easily but a character would need to do in depth experimental studies analyzed with statistics in order to identify.

Besides, a nodachi or a polearm will look much scarier than a scimitar.

Happy Thanksgiving, to all who partake! Everyone else, please ignore :)

My process is, check out the campaign setting... fill some niche, even comedy relief. But, always try to carry your own weight.

That said, Goblins were sorely under represented. Goblins are Dex based. To contribute well in combat, I needed to add Dex to damage. The only way to do this, in this campaign, is with Slashing Grace.

Note: pretty much all char gen is by definition, meta.

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all. We give thanks even for those who do not partake.
While Tal is a wizard, it is her rogue abilitie that are needed the most at present. Comic relief is always appreciated. Just watch out for Felix, the half-orc and Thoron the Dwarf!
If you want something intimidating that does damage I always favor the great sword. Problem with reach weapons is what do you do when they get within 5'?
A scimitar may not look intimidating until you see Jim in action. Then you need to be scared. He out does the paladin with his great sword.

I typically try not to get into other folks' builds (or discuss them), but yes...

Scimitar, two attacks +15/+10 and a crit range of 15-20, 1d6+9 damage and some precision. That's some serious business.

Goblin's not an up close build, her needs to 5-foot step to attack effectively. Or tumble away to cast, etc...

Well, I'm hoping that Reldak's +18 Disable Device will be up to the task...but after seeing that last trap, I'm not so sure...lol

He's ready for review, btw.

Well, I'm hoping that Reldak's +18 Disable Device will be up to the task...but after seeing that last trap, I'm not so sure...lol

Trapfinding gives you another +3, for +21.

Not that you asked but, if you pick up Goggles of Minute Seeing, you get another +5 Disable Device for +26.

Also, I'm not sure if they are imposing 20% max starting gold for/on any one item. That's around 4,700 gp.

Well, I'm hoping that Reldak's +18 Disable Device will be up to the task...but after seeing that last trap, I'm not so sure...lol

--------------------
Reldak was raised in an orphanage with a rather diverse group of children and took to the streets at a young age.

Over time he grew in skill to the point where he became a burgler for hire, who chose his jobs with care so as not try not steal from those who couldn't afford it, and primarily from those who actually "deserved" it. Most of the time.

In any event, he considers himself a professional, and holds himself to a rather high standard of professionalism. When jobs are scarce, he acts as a treasure hunter, and after a recent job went...sideways, and he barely excaped capture with his life, Reldak sought out new horizons and adventures.

As an aside, he is not particularly religious, but devoutly and anonymously donates 10% of his earnings to the orphanage where he was raised.

Otherwise it looks good and is approve and you can dot gameplay and join discussion

Well to a degree but it greatly depends on whether you are focused on mechanics or if you are focused on aesthetics as the latter is more about character concept and role playing than is the former which is more focused on min/maxing and meta-gaming.

No doubt I, like many, will work to implement a level of min/maxing to make a better character but all my basic decisions are based on aesthetics which to me is much more important as that relates to role-playing versus roll-playing.

So sure if the character is outlined as having an inferiority complex where they feel they need to overgrandize themselves to feel superior then yeah a polearm seems appropriate but that same philosophy should then bleed over into everything that character is aesthetically about as that is not a minor personality quirk by any means.

Basically the weapon of choice generally boils down to cultural heritage, availability, and chosen profession requirements (if any). Anything outside that must have to do with personal personality quirks which should be outlined to give reason for the extremely odd choice. Basically, why is this character doing something that is so way outside the norm?

Still in the end do as you wish -- to each their own -- what one person finds fun another might not -- still if one wants any respect from their fellow players they should focus on role-play and the aesthetics of their character over the mechanics every time even if that is disadvantageous mechanics wise -- which as MysteriousMaker pointed out is something a character would know nothing about.

I'm happy to join or not, based on the DM and Players' concerns and ultimate decision.

Peace!

I've adapted to your version. :D Except for the fact that he has Precise Shot and not Precise Strike, which I've edited.

Sir Rhaym, what the other players will respect you for, depends a lot on them. I have had the misfortune of meeting plenty of players who absolutely do not respect a player that does not place optimization first as the most important consideration in character building.

Sorry, I clicked on Precise Strike in error. Probably watching TV with the wife at the same time. As I said, approved. Dot gameplay and join discussion.

I prefer a more balanced character that can walk and chew gum at the same time than a min/maxer. A role player is much prefered, but I want players to be able to do more than one thing. A wizard with an 8 STR cannot even carry his equipment.

Do you mean an alias/profile?

Build is here under Funny Goblin spoiler:

Funny Goblin <<< Link

If there is some role-play test, happy to pass it with flying colors.

Honestly, if I'm lacking... just kill him off. I'd respect that.

There are a number of issues here:

1) I don't use Hero points
2) You were 2 Character points underspent so I put them into Charisma
3) Skills are a mess. Not sure where you get a 20 climb for instance. Also, you have 3 more points to spend

2) I'll check my math later tonight, you may be right... I may be crazy.
3) Hero Lab didn't seem to include Alternate Race Traits. +4 Acrobatics & Climb instead of Ride & Stealth. And 10 Climb Speed (for reduction in Speed from 30 to 20, but if you have a Climb Speed, you get +8 Climb Bonus and they stack. I'll check on the errant 3 points.

Are you approving Slashing Grace for this character while using a bardiche with Jotungrip? It's a bit of a cornerstone for me.

I already said Slashing Grace requires a one handed weapon. The fact you can use a two-handed weapon in one hand does not change that, I thought this was settled about a week ago.

You did not mention or list cave crawler and tree runner, the traits needed.

This accounts for the 3 skill points.

All this climbing would be great for my Skull&Shackles game as a rigger, but not all that useful here. Albeit, with the lack of Slashing Grace working for the Bardiche and no Hero Point, he is tenatively approved to dot gameplay and post in discussion.

I had thought we were going back and forth, didn't realize that was a ruling.

Thank you for the time and opportunity to pitch the idea.

I'll bow out.

--------------------
Reldak was raised in an orphanage with a rather diverse group of children and took to the streets at a young age.

Over time he grew in skill to the point where he became a burgler for hire, who chose his jobs with care so as not try not steal from those who couldn't afford it, and primarily from those who actually "deserved" it. Most of the time.

In any event, he considers himself a professional, and holds himself to a rather high standard of professionalism. When jobs are scarce, he acts as a treasure hunter, and after a recent job went...sideways, and he barely excaped capture with his life, Reldak sought out new horizons and adventures.

As an aside, he is not particularly religious, but devoutly and anonymously donates 10% of his earnings to the orphanage where he was raised.

here is a stat block

@brvheart

I may be able to salvage the concept (in my mind) will a little rework, if that's OK with you.

Yesterday was a hectic travel day and I may have been premature in an effort to be polite and bring closure.

The heavy climbing was a leftover from when I thought it was more "pirates" (because of the splat books available). And imagined him up on the masts and rigging.

If the walls are all smooth and that would not to helpful, I'll consider passing on it.

I've adapted to your version. :D Except for the fact that he has Precise Shot and not Precise Strike, which I've edited.

You did not account for favored class bonus so add 7 hp

THAT I will most happily do. Thanks for the heads up!

You dotted Skull&Shackles lol Need to try again with Dark Tower

* face-palm * whoops

Well, please dot gameplay here and join discussion. Your skills are in need for the group.

I can see maybe 3 or 4 rooms that climb might be helpful. You might want a hat of Disguise so the Dwarf doesn't kill you onsight.

What is Judge's Guild?

MysteriousMaker Judges Guild (no apostrophe) is a manufacturer of Games and Play Aids that was Founded July 4, 1976.

That is the simple answer. Kind of think of it as the Paizo of the late '70s and early '80s. They published some 150+ game aids and modules. They invented the gaming module. In this module, Dark Tower, Jennel Jaquays invented the NPC fully detailing some 38 of them. TSR had to answer aand started making modules of their own. They were most known for the City State of the Invincible Overlord and the Wilderlands of High Fantasy, 18 maps detailing their campaign setting. The owner Bob Bledsaw, who I worked for off and on from 1981 to 2008 passed away in 2008. His son took the company over but has not been able to do much with it. We revamped Dark Tower in 2007 upgrading it to 3.5 I am converting it on the fly to pathfinder.

I see. Sounds interesting. Thank you for the answer.

Goblin Hit Points, Fighter 2, Rogue 4, Wizard 1: 10 + 1d10 + 4d8 + 1d6 - 1 - 1 ⇒ 10 + (7) + (8, 3, 3, 1) + (1) - 1 - 1 = 31
Reroll 1's: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6

I can see maybe 3 or 4 rooms that climb might be helpful. You might want a hat of Disguise so the Dwarf doesn't kill you onsight.

Nah I'd just preserve him in a barrel of vinegar for goblin pickles to go with the meals.

Nice...

Are kukri viable/fitting for this setting? Gotta get my 1d3 on! With a decent crit threat, of course.

Yes, I think I have one

Why does everyone think they are a Gurka and want a Nephalese Weapon? I should make it an exotic weapon but relictantly.

I'll go with dogslicer. When I save or kick the Dwarf's butt... I don't want any whining.

He's a bit of a packrat. Stuff might be useful.

You have two too many feat, you are allowed 4 not six

2 are Fighter bonus feats.
