I'm thinking, as it's super. Something akin to a ring of Regen. But perhaps more? Like 5?
I've never done something like this, so trying to put it into PF terms is a bit hard for me atm
I know fast healing and Regen are ALMOST the same. But Regen actually restores limbs and such. So I like the idea that he's incredibly hard to kill. Just need to figure out what could bypass it. Perhaps similar to a balor. Only a Holy Weapon of +5?
You have DR 5/good
So regen equal to your Charisma modifier. That gives you 4 for now and up to 9.Yeah I am good with that.
Most regens do have a negating factor. A holy weapon sounds appropriate.
DR 5/good, 5/magic; Immune fire, poison; Resist acid 10, cold 10, electricity 10; SR 18
All my current defences
Updated my post!
Much appreciated!
I will slowly add and expand my story. 15 sentences for each ability gained sounds good. All the way up to the final one. 150 sentences
So I'm still very busy. I hope you don't mind, I'll write my story here, piece meal, and then copy and paste later into the profile. As editing the profile on my phone is a bit of a shlep and takes more time than I have
Micheal Fletcher was a scrawny guy from childhood. No physical attributes that he could call useful in way. Short Dirty blonde hair. Average hight. A few freckles. Green eyes. And a very reserved demeanor. He could easily be just one in the crowd. That was till he went to highschool. All these attributes garnered the ire of a bunch of bullies
Taking his money to physical abuse. Michael could do nothing but endure it. Even his home life was rather strained. Shipped from one aunt to another every other week, as he had no parents. So going to them for help was sadly no help.
Only in the virtual world did he find solace and a sense of power. There he was more than he could ever be in the real world. Power. Prowess. Even his online friends were more helpful than any grownup. So between homework and school, he spent his days in the game world.
One day he found out the bullies at school were also avid players, and often bullied newbies and showed a lot of their life skills in the world. So he made it his job to hunt them down and start giving them what he wished he could in the real world. So he started to focus to target them. As most played mages, he began to focus and aim to get items and skill to better aggrivate them. Even if it meant that they would vent their game frustration on him in the real world. Not that they knew it was him, he was just their unlucky punching bag
It takes time for a good backstory
No worries... you get in when you get in.
Let me know when you get to being close to being done! Also feel free to ask me anything. Most of the world is not made but my Dungeon Master mind can come up with a lot on the cuff.
Yeah sorry. Been rough going atm. Been waking up very early for work and little one having sports over weekend. I'll try my best to start expanding his story
The idea is to make him an anti mage. He's anti many things. But mage is a speciality
Schools started again for me. So I am super busy. Still purging and organizing, then I have to prepare lessons too! So I may not be as active as I wish my players are but at the moment I feel like I post even more than them. I was hoping new players would get us moving more. This campaign has the most active players in most of my games. Well besides TheWaskally, he posts every day and has awesomely long posts. But when the other players say I attack the nearest enemy and don't even look at the map I feel appauled. Sorry for the rant but I hope that we can get this game moving even more!
Guys remember this is a Player driven campaign. If you don't give me something to work with, nothing is going to happen.
I don't prep for campaigns anymore. I put in as much time as my players, which is about an hour before the game.

Yeah and where I'm at Tablets, Phones and Smart watches oh and Headphones are Banned by law. So the kids a being a bit more crazy with my areas. Making it harder to do my job.
I wish you well GM Wolf. I just have to clean up after them you have to be in the room and make them learn something.
Time to take notes.
The og message said craterlord klevis, but klevis is not on the list you just gave. Which one is klevis?
I can't find my original notes. Going with adjustments now.
Arcane Quarter – Wizard towers, alchemical labs, magical colleges, spell components shops. Dangerous experiments sometimes spill into the streets.
Craterlord “Klevis” Marrowmask the Butcher
Got it, thanks.
I just remembered that Jav is with the giant
I just remembered that Jav is with the giant
Yup no worries!
Desseer if you can give me a bit of insight in what you are planning I can add more details.
I need insight into your plans and possible future actions so that we can keep this going!
I hope our new players can join us soon but understand if you are still working on it. Please give me a link to your background if it is not in your alias. Also I am looking for hooks!
Fair, I'll try to do that more.
Desseer is going to get the note from the Red Quarter, get poison from the guild district, cast mage hand a bunch on to the parchment to give it a faint magical aura, poison lieutenants in the Arcane Quarter, and the put then note in the mouth of one of the poisoned.
That way, a trail followed could imply either one of the Craterlords from another Quarter or that Craterlords are working together.
Interesting!
Given that they are in the same district, it could be fun to run into the hubbub. It would also be fun story-wise to pass like ships in the night.
As a player, I would prefer to meet up with Myriana and Ink. Though that is only because they don't know where we are and what we are up to. And that gives me a little anxiety.
Note if we do meet up: Desseer is in a new disguise that I don't think Ink or Myriana has seen.
Also also: GM I have not forgotten your request, I just want to build a little foundation before turning things into utter chaos. I'm curious to see how far Sow Thought can get me.
Ink is having fun letting the puppets kill themselves.
Though, I just realized that he's walking with John. So, not exactly rocket science to figure out.
Got my class stuff down just have to do the maths. Also find out I have another Social Talent
Sorry for my absence, lots are going on, including a simple surgery. All is good, it was a success, and I have been on the mend. A bit medicated and in pain, so also a lack of focus.
It is good to hear that you are doing well. I hope you have an easy recovery.
Waiting here
Also. As stated, been really sick, so I haven't worked on the rest of his story yet. Will attempt to work on it as it goes on. Apologies
Sorry about my absence life got busy and stupid!
Update: I did subplans for the week.
Had my vestectomy, been trying to recover.
S#$$ went down at work... I can't talk about it.... very streesful... I am clear of all wrong doing.

So is Skarbrand and Sumukhl ready to come into the game?
Ready. And due to many things I have not been able to work on host story. But I do plan to finish it and send it to GM for revision
So I need to work with the GM to create a "vile leadership" cohort
Don't care much atm for class levels. So as a level 7 character. Would it be a Cr 4 or Cr 5 creature be okayed? I'm also willing to merge both mount/familiar into this feat to perhaps get a cohort with same level as I am
Willing to go from there. I don't mind having him/her/it join him later. Just want the base idea down for now
Also. Regarding the ring : 8000gp. Is that retail or craft price?
To the rest of the group: what good uses are there for WISH? Obviously not game breaking stuff. So far my mind has come up with very mundane ideas. Like permanent LARGE size for Skärbründ :P
Hello one and all! Grumbaki here. Glad to be part of this campaign. Happily catching up on your characters backgrounds, builds, etc. If I could have a very quick recap of what has happened thus far in the campaign, it would be helpful. :)

Your cohort has to be two levels below you but may gain a +2 template.
You can't merge the mount/familiar to make this stronger.

Retail.

Yes permancy is a great spell to use.
Do we have a list of super powers and wishes somewhere?

The recap will occur in gameplay but it also depends on which guild you are starting with.
So far: Seeds of Slaughter, Dragon's Glory, and Sumukil's nameless guild.
Seeds of Slaughter (Which all current players are apart of.)
Dragons Glory
(Or Sumukil's guild)
It sounds like Seeds of Slaughter would be the easiest for getting the ball rolling

awesome, thank you. so far, Perma large sounds like the best plan for him
ring then i guess a ring of Prot +2 would be only option really. though i was thinking of getting a ring that gives 2 skills +5. thats around 7k
ill be taking a familiar : Imp
dont think a mount will work if i go large, i would need a huge one then, and im not sure about any HUGE mounts :P
cohort, ill go human bard 3/half-succubus
Both myself and the cohort will be aiming for full demonhood then
I don’t expect anyone to read the entire backstory for this character. So, to make things easier:
Background
* The person who played (and now is stuck in) Thorin was once an unremarkable, faceless person in the real world, trapped in a dull, soul-crushing routine. He found escape and purpose in Ygddrasil, where he could be someone who mattered. He built his life around crafting, mastering his skills, and creating lasting things, everything he wanted to do but couldn’t in real life. A dedicated roleplayer, he refused to follow the meta and pursued runecrafting, because it brought meaning to his life. Like everyone else he is now stuck in the game.
Appearance:
* IRL Persona: Plain, tidy, middle-of-the-road appearance. Neatly trimmed beard, average height and build, unremarkable business casual clothes. Nothing flashy, nothing that draws attention—just “one of the crowd.” Routine, orderly, predictable.
* IG persona: Designed to look like himself, only dwarven. Has the larger build he wanted but couldn’t grow due to corporate culture. Armor and clothing all crafted to look like an NPC. His goal was to make a character who blended into the world, looking as authentic as possible. The only thing that stands out as being different is that he doesn’t use a regular weapon or shield. Rather, he fights with his gauntlets. This makes him look like he is unarmed. At least, that is, until combat begins. It is then that his gauntlets expand, with blades for slashing, piercing and blocking coming out.
Mechanics
* Blacksmith/Technician, to show runecrafting. Can buff allies at the start of each day. You can pick 1 from the list in the spoiler that he can help with.
* Nothing flashy. Just 2 hard hitting attacks that can each trip. Only has 30ft move speed, so he is limited by design. He’s supposed to throw kind of player wanted to blend in as much as possible, hence the design choices.
Armor Maintenance
The blacksmith and his allies reduce the armor check penalty of all armor they wear by 1 (minimum 0), and increase the armor bonus of their worn armor (but not shields) by +1. The armor bonus increases by +1 and the armor check penalty is reduced by an additional 1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter. For the purposes of this ability, a standard set of clothing or similar equivalent (such as a wizard’s robes) is treated as light armor with an armor bonus and armor check penalty of 0.
Clarifying Reinforcements
The blacksmith hammers thin lead linings into helmets and head gear, sews small packets of smelling salts into glove linings, and performs other tasks that give his allies an advantage in resisting harmful mental effects; all creatures affected by this maintenance gain a +1 competence bonus to Will saves, plus an additional +1 for every 5 class levels the blacksmith possesses.
Cobbling
The blacksmith reinforces his allies’ footwear, giving them a firmer tread and providing sturdier protection; the blacksmith and his allies ignore the first square of difficult terrain they enter each round; at 5th level and every five levels thereafter, they may ignore one additional square of difficult terrain each round.
Fortifying Reinforcements
The blacksmith adds special herbal packets and additional temporary reinforcements to his and his allies armor making them heartier and more resistant; all creatures affected by this maintenance gain a +1 competence bonus to Fortitude saves, plus an additional +1 for every 5 class levels the blacksmith possesses.
Heavy-Duty Reinforcement
The blacksmith adds temporary reinforcements to his and his allies’ equipment, increasing the hardness and hit points of all affected creatures’ weapons and armor by an amount equal to his class level. In addition, weapons affected by this maintenance ignore an amount of hardness when used to sunder or damage objects equal to 1/2 the blacksmith’s class level (minimum 1).
Pack Straps
By optimizing the straps and buckles of his allies packs and pouches, the blacksmith and his allies may treat their Strength score as though it were 2 points higher when determining their carrying capacity, plus an additional 2 points for every 5 class levels the blacksmith possesses.
Polish
The blacksmith polishes his allies metal armor, weapons, and shields, giving them a clean polish that can even deflect magical attacks. Once per day, when an affected ally would normally be hit by a ray attack, they may deflect it as a free action that can be taken even when it is not their turn so that they take no damage and are unaffected by it. The ally must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. The blacksmith and his affected allies may reflect one additional ray per day at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter.
Quickening Reinforcements
The blacksmith oils the joints and treats the leather of his and his allies’ gear, granting them a +1 competence bonus to Reflex saves, plus an additional +1 for every 5 class levels the blacksmith possesses.
Sharpen Weapons
The blacksmith and his allies gain a +2 bonus to all damage rolls made with manufactured weapons. This bonus increases by +2 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter.
GM: For guild does he need to start with one? With his backstory he had his own very small RP guild (Clan Spellsplitter). But if he needs to start with one then I defer to your judgement as I currently lack info to make a good decision.
Wish
Could I wish for this?
"I wish that my armor, forged with care by mine hand and worn with pride to be bound to me in such a way that, with but a moment's focus, it leaps to my body no matter where it lies, and can vanish again to where I will it, provided it be a place I’ve seen or a space of my own."
Call Armor (Su)) As a full round action, Thorin can cause his armor to instantly appear on his body. Alternatively, he can dismiss it as a full round action, causing it to vanish. Where the armor appears from or vanishes to can be anywhere he designates, but it must be a place het has seen on the same plane of existence where he is, or be in an extradimensional space he controls, such as a bag of holding.

im not the GM, but that is similar to a spell that you can get, so i dont think its too far fetched
Thanks, glad that you found it balanced.
I've been playing around with Thorin's build abit, as I don't think the template and class meshed by raw. As always, if there is anything our GM does not approve of, of if at the table it turns out to be problematic, I am open to change and balance.
Yes Seeds of Slaughter would be the Dragon's Glory and Seeds of Slaughter have peace accords/allies of some sort. Right please clarify my memory is sketchy on that.
I know Seeds of Slaughter has a peace accords with the Witches Coven.

There are a bunch of huge mounts, dire animals I believe. I would be fine giving you a huge mount or attaching ther permanent enlarge spell to transfer to your mount as well!!!
---
Got it Skarbrund and cohort going for being full demons!
---
Thorin, I would suggest that you start with Dragon's Glory, with the Stonefire Merchants. I will introduce Arthur your guildmaster. Or you can be in your own guild if you want, that is fine too.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hey Thorin, I would have happily absorbed your clan into my guild.

Yes that is a great wish! It mostly replicates a spell/ability so that is an easy yes!
