Overlord 2, the Other Guild

Game Master BloodWolven

I'll edit the build to level 6 then

becoming a demon it's taken from the book

Thank you for allowing a reroll on that terrible one

5d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 2, 5) = 19 18 (that's a slight improvement :P

Bah humbug. Missed my edit window

Question regarding the "special ability of another class"

If that ability scales with level, is that still allowed, or does it need to be a static ability?

Howdy,

Would the taninim race/draconic exemplar class from In the Company of Dragons be allowed?

I need links, otherwise no.

Here is the Taninim.

And the Draconic Exemplar.

It should be a static ability.

Taninim is good! I am unsure why there is size differences at the bottom.

Draconic Exemplar is a go too! I can't wait to meet your 'dragon!'

We have two applicants finished up with not much coming from the others. Please let us know where you are in character development. We could also start you later.

Please check in so we can see any lurkers too!

I'm happy to jump in for RP, but crunch will take me a day or two. I am revising Arc from a previous game. It's too bad we can't use spheres.

Well. Now that my character build is on par I can start working on a story.

This character a local denizen that joins the originals or would this also be a player?

Oh the ascension path okay?

Another player Seth, come up for why you just woke up. Stasis of some sort.

Slyness I need a lot more from you first either your background story or your crunch.

Loading Lag... Blasted 4mb line... :P

I was trapped in the Treasury and Rare Books Library. So I woke up way later emerging from ducts

Yup! You guys can come from all sorts of angles!!!

Well it looks like we have two posters, two or more lurkers, and two solid applicants. Please let us know where you are currently are with your build as we are moving forward.

Hey is this still happening/recruiting? I kind of want to play an overlord campaign.

The game is still in play, the new players have not joined us yet, still working on backgrounds and crunches. You could put something together and possibly join us when you have it put together.

What are the build requirements/restrictions of the campaign?

7th level Gestalt character with one template CR 2 or below.
7th level character with two templates both CR 2 or below.
Monstrous race with 4 HD, and 3rd level gestalt character.
Monstrous race with 2 HD, and 5th level gestalt character.
Or a mixup of the options above.(Is it this)

So to make sure I understand correctly, I could be something like:

Or

Prophecy addled advanced human cyclopean seer 7

Any role the guild is missing? Even at level 7 with gestalt and a template I could probably do something stupid like a mummy lord dhampir commander/juju oracle with a something like 100HD+ of undead, a master summoner/something else who spams summons, a cleric/wizard dwarf crafter, the enchanter from the kitsune build or even something weird like half shadow demon possessed sorcerer/fighter who has demonic/improved possession to steal peoples bodies.

A role we do not have is healer. Though, that said, I'm not sure if we need need one. Simply, we don't have one.

Honestly though, play a character that you won't get bored with quickly.

What are the gimmicks of the current characters, just to make sure I don’t overlap too much with them

Desseer is mind affecting specialist
Myriana is a straight forward arcanist, is focusing on flavor, rp
Ink is a sneaky, disguisey striker with some fun rp of starting a religion
The GM has some GMPCs that wait in the wings.

Desseer has two companions; one is disguisey, the other is a sneaky striker
Myriana has a witch companion

Myriana was initially a vampire as well and her build was initially leaning into that. Due to story she has managed to shed her vampiric portion and remain a fey/catfolk arcanist with a nymph theme going on.

So there are only 3 players? Ok then first question to DM would be could I be a mummy lord despite being level 7?

Second question anything banned/ third party allowed? If third party is allowed I would like to play celestial commander summoner from rite publishing(saw a post here that said you would need to see it to approve): https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner/archetypes/rite-publ ishing-summoner-archetypes/celestial-commander

Third question: how do you do the 5d6 command here?

Sumukhi has not entered gameplay yet.

The player's parents were game developments on the game. She is a uber fan of the old Disney animated show, Gargoyles, and her character is a chimeric combination of a Disney-style gargoyle, harpy and medusa.

I have not finished her backstory yet.

Seth86's Skärbründ is another PC that has joined the PBP.

Third question: how do you do the 5d6 command here?

Type (use square brackets instead of round brackets)

{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}
{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}
{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}
{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}
{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}
{dice=ability score generation}5d6{/dice}

which will trigger the RNG

i.e. (the above with square brackets)

ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 3, 3) = 19 drop the 2 --> 17
ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 5, 5) = 18 drop a 1 --> 17
ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 6, 5) = 23 drop the 3 --> 20
ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 3, 5) = 17 drop the 1 --> 16
ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 3, 6) = 21 drop the 1 --> 20
ability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 1, 5) = 17 drop the 1 --> 16

You can preview your post, an then add in to the right of each set of 5 dice to remove the lowest die to put your total (though you can just type it up in the same post/later post if that is more convenient for you).

Yes, there are two more perspective players about to join.

So like thisability score generation: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 1, 5) = 18

What’s the command to drop the lowest though?

What’s the command to drop the lowest though?

As far as I know, there is no such command. You have to manually edit the post itself (or simply type up the generated stats in the same/new post).

Is it drop lowest, so max 22 or drop 2 lowest max 18?

Drop single lowest (our generated ability scores result in a number from 4 to 24).

5d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 6, 4) = 25 —>drop lowest 4 21

I think I got it

Also do we get cohorts/minions? Like do I essentially make 3 characters? I ask because from the players tab I see like a ton of characters

Since you are the one playing an enchanter, would you be ok with me playing an arcane kitsune enchanter I described earlier if I can’t be a mummy lord or celestial commander?

So just spitballing here for GM consideration: my build will likely be one of the following:

Mummy lord dhampir cruomancer 7// Juju(the old one) oracle 7 focusing on just pure animate dead potential. Or maybe if mummy lord is unavailable something like one of the dread undead for some sort of spawn creating ability

Or

Half succubus kitsune crossblooded sorcerer(undead/serpentine)// thassalian specialist wizard for all arcane mind control

Or
Half invidiak(shadow demon) possession sorcerer//fighter 7 with demonic/improved possession to magic jar my enemies

Or
For summoning: (good) half celestial human celestial commander summoner//celestial bloodline sorcerer
(Evil) half succubus drow master summoner// abyssal bloodline sorcerer

Basically something that lets me choose different types of creatures to use every battle so I probably won’t be bored

Alternatively something like wizard/witch, wizard/ arcanist or sorcerer/ oracle could also be fun just for the sheer number of spells

Yes, have at it.

Disclaimer for all that follows: I want you to play whatever character you are going to enjoy playing for a prolonged period of time. So, if my thoughts go against what you want, go with what you want.

I made my mechanical character from the lens of a player playing an mmorpg with the idea of being a part of a team in a raid. The role that Desseer would play is battlefield control (namely add control). The other aspects have purposes as well. Disguised casting to prevent the mechanic of provoking and to not alert NPCs to my casting in town, as well as for the same benefits in pvp. Detect thoughts to get more information out of NPCs to get easter eggs and hints about boss fights. Will of the Dead to reduce the enemies I can't affect.

Personally, I would encourage that approach for others.

Alright then thanks for the advice!

Don't forget your Real World persona here. It comes into play as well.

As for play style, Ink is insidious and unnassuming. Using his real-world skills in his gaming, he sees strength in the weaker class.

How is an improving template, like half-celestial, handled? It’s anywhere from +1 to +3 depending on hit die of the creature it’s applied to. At the starting level it’d be +2, does that mean it’s allowed?

Could two +1 templates be taken instead of one +2?

Apologies If these have already been covered. I didn’t see anything, but I also didn’t read the entire thread.

I'm going to go ahead and roll for stats, though I don't have any idea what I want to play yet.

5d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 4, 6) = 21-2=19
5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 2, 3) = 13-1=12
5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 1, 1) = 16-1=15
5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4, 6) = 21-3=18
5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 4, 2) = 18-2=16
5d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2, 3) = 11-1=10

Not great rolls, given 4 dice. But I can work with that.

I'll roll stats too. I know I'm going to play as a Kineticst, but I'm uncertain what the other side will be currently.

5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 3, 2) = 19-2 = 17
5d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 4) = 13-1 = 12
5d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 4, 5) = 19-3 = 16
5d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6, 6) = 24-2 = 22 godamn
5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 3, 1) = 9-1 = 8
5d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 2, 5) = 16-1 = 15

So, 22, 17, 16, 15, 12, 8... that's a generally very strong stat spread, with a heck of a range.

Hello GM could I get an answer to my questions?

Toying around with material now, and I would like to know what Firearms are allowed for potential build.

22 of a stat feels too important to sacrifice to a 1PP Kineticist.

There might be con based casters in spheres if you want to hyper focus on one stat and be a kineticist.

The Orc Witch Archtype uses Con for spells if you arent a spheres guy

Spheres isn't an option? Like, I asked on Page 2 and got told no? And I don't see anything being said otherwise?

Scarred Witch Doctor, you mean? That got errated to only being a +2 to your Intelligence instead of being full Con-based.

Spheres isn't an option? Like, I asked on Page 2 and got told no? And I don't see anything being said otherwise?

Maybe I'm mistaken. It has been a minute since I looked at the creation guidelines.

Yes all three of those seem viable options!

All firearms are accepted.

Also I may have said no to spheres earlier but if you want to you may go that route.
