@brvheart: You're recruiting one player, or more?

Would you consider allowing the hinyasi archetype for the Brawler class?

I have a character I wrote up for a S&S game ages ago that specialized in improvised weapons, the idea being she was an ex barroom-brawler who repelled boarders with whatever she'd pick up on a ship, along with combat maneuvers. The original concept used the fighter with the cad archetype and it never just quite worked the way I wanted. I think this archetype would work; while it isn't fluffed for piracy in the archetype writeup, I think it would make a lot of sense for a sailor.

At the same time it is not from your list of approved sources, so if this is not doable, I understand.

Are you at the beginning (ish) of book 2? Where might the PCs meet the new recruit(s)?


Hey, I've got a 4th-level pirate from a previous-stalled S&S campaign ready to go! The downside is he has a 3rd-party class.

Tobias "Toby' Wraithborn, The Pirate Prince.


Ok, here is my submission. He's a bloodrager with the shapechanger bloodline. Right now, he has nothing special about his build except that he uses a Harpoon (I mean, I found it really cool). Starting next level, he gets the Leaping Strike feat. Combined with the rest of his build, he will be jumping far and critting all around. With the Harpoon, this means he also grapples his target to do something with them, like throw them overboard or something. He will put together some stuff for hilarious jumping. That is, the 1st level Bloodline Power gives me running jump without having to run around. The 4th level Bloodline power gives me a swift action spell if I didn't have the time to cast Jump before. Then the jump checks will be easy to make. Together with Unerring Weapon (learned at 5th level), critting will be often, which triggers the Harpoon grapple.

Background:

Mest Ianosh is a son of the Shackles. He has lived his entire life there, always trying to live up to his family name, Captain Ianosh, the mad. He is not so proud of his other family's heritage, that gave him lycanthropy related powers. However, when he feels the anger coming, he cannot do anything but give in and "let the beast loose", as he says.

Always looking for an opportunity to join a crew and, maybe, find lasting friendships, Mest knows he is not a lot of help on a boat, except maybe as a lookout. Either that, or sharing his impressive strength. But still, as fearsome as he is to his enemies, he has always been incredibly reliable to his friends.

I just realized that Leaping Strike is a 3rd party publisher feat. BUmmer... But the character still works!

It get's better, We were in the Gallows of (Third-Party) Madness game, where you played Dachus and the World Sepent Inn game where you played Josten. Both were Godlings :)


1 person marked this as a favorite.

[blushes furiously] .."stop..!"

Scarab Sages

I'm thinking about submitting an Alchemist. The Grenadier archetype isn't from the listed source materials but could I use it?

GRENADIER


Yeah, I am not really down on third party sources for this once besides the traits one I have.
Tell me more about your character Veniir if you can sub that out
Bombs on a ship? Seriously?


There is always room for more fire.

Scarab Sages

Hm, the link didn't work. I'lll try that again. GRENADIER

It' not 3rd party, it's official Paizo material from the Pathfinder Society Field Guide so it's been around forever. The book isn't on your list though.

By default alchemist bombs do fire damage. But, it's not really one of the better options. There are alchemist discoveries to change the damage type. At 4th level the character could easily have a couple of other damage types to use instead, acid, frost, and/or tanglefoot bombs are accessible instead of fire.

The character is actually an old one that I used in a Skulls and Shackles campaign a few years back. Here's the character, which hasn't had any adjustments made to it so far.

Nasifi Calaso

If you don't want to include grenadier though, I'll consider something other than an alchemist.

I will take the non response as no for an answer. I otherwise don't have someone written up yet and I know you want to get moving so I'll now out. Have fun!!

let me take a look tomorrow, sorry I missed you

So it's a pure 1-20 bloodrager with the shapechange bloodline. He is a great jumper. Before we have the fly spell, he's able to jump around the ship and even between ships. The 3rd party feat I mentioned is, now that I think about it, maybe OPd. It gives an automatic critical threat if I succeed an Athletics (jump) check, which would be easy given the buffs and bloodline powers.

But the thing is that even without that, the character is fun, due to jumping around. He can use his harpoon in fights to grapple opponents (given a crit) and can intimidate (Dazzling Display) for an awesome battleground presence. Out of combat he is an ok lookout and also has survival. Not to mention he still has intimidate!


DeathQuaker and Veniir I need write ups at this point


Is this not enough?

Sorry brvheart, as I said, I'll bow out now. Good luck and happy gaming.


That is too bad as the best I have seen so far besides the bloodrager if fixed. Can't see third party or an alcemist sorry.

Yeah, the first one didn't work so I reposted the link in the subsequent post copied above.

Although alchemist bombs don't work the way you seem to believe they do, it's probably not worth getting into. I suppose I could work up a Sea Singer Bard or something similar.

Scarab Sages

Alright, I'm playing 3 Bards amongst my other games right now. I just can't do another Bard. I'm going to go with Bolt Ace from the Gunslinger class. Probably Human, Traits: Ilizmagorti Native and Ease of Faith. Feats: Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus (Light Crossbow), Rapid Reload.


Hi there... I like the pirate theme, but not specifically knowledgeable regarding Skull & Shackles.

Building a Male Half-Orc Brawler 3/Rogue 1 (Acrobat/Scout) - no traps.

Does Gnoll make sense as a language? What other languages would make sense for an Outcast type Half-Orc? Anyone can answer or comment or whatever :)

Stats are looking like this 17 - 16 - 14 - 12 - 14 - 8 (he's somewhat gruff around the edges).

He'll be making use or tripping and bull rushing (maybe) shenanigans.

He's a sailor, perhaps had to run off and escape by sea at some point. He's a good person stuck in a scat-storm.

I did not carefully read proposed submissions, so hopefully not stepping on toes.


Here's Nico the Bolt Ace. I believe the essential things are in place. I'll complete the rest when I know what's already present is alright.

I likes it! The crew is pretty poor except the ships. Use 50% as a baseline for WBL for stuff. Gear up, dot game play and join discussion.

Fralk, looks like we are going to have two brawlers maybe. Finish it up so I can put it in HeroLab.
