GM Nomadical's Battlecry! playtest run of Swordlord's Challenge

Game Master Nomadical

Recruiting for a hopefully speedy run of the Repeatable Quest Series 2 #14 Swordlord's Challenge in support of the Battlecry! playtest.

Replayers welcome and even encouraged. I'd like to run this pretty light on RP and focus on trying out the playtest builds, both as players of them and as teammates.

In order to ensure there's some balance to the party, I'll allow up to 2 Commanders AND up to 2 Guardians. That way there's room for at least 2 other classes at least, and room for some folks that can't or don't want to build playtest characters.

I'd also like to run this in the high-tier as a test of the level 3 playtest builds rather than just level 1. See the Lorespire Playtest Rules page for details on making a level 3 character.

I'd suggest also using messageboard "aliases" instead of committing a character name to a short playtest PBP run, but that's up to you.

Interested

This is my PFS Champion whom I am thinking about rebuilding into a Guardian, and open to trying it on to see if it fits!

As he has already played this, he would be earning credit for a different character, just using this alias as requested.

Interested as well. Let me look over the playtest rules and make a decision.

Edit: I have an idea for a commander that I am going to put together.

I'll take a seat as one of the old fashioned characters.

Ulfgar's level 4, though, if that makes a difference.

Tepin, Halfling Commander

Interested in trying out the guardian as well.

Interested in trying a guardian or commander.

Don't forget about this:

Boons and Other Character Options: In order for the playtest character to take a character option that would normally require a Boon, that playtest character must have all of their credit assigned to a character number that has purchased that Boon.

If you want to play a dhampir, the character getting the credit has to have the boon.

Whoopsie daisy.

Ghul withdraws his application then.

Instead:

Knab is my PFS Dwarven Ruffian - I will apply to this game with him as a Guardian wielding a Dorn-Dergar!

Apologies will need to withdraw due to work commitments. Have a blast!

4 so far:

Tepin (Michael Hallet) = Commander
Knab the Knave (rainzax) = Guardian
Ulfgar Ironhead (Ebonfist) = Ranger

Marjim Marc Arafiles = Guardian

There's room for another Commander and one other class. Maybe a caster or someone squishy for the Guardians to Guard?

And just to confirm, folks are building these playtests as level 3, please. Or let me know if you really really want to try level 1, but I'm assuming they're level 3 playtests for Challenge Points.

This is Marjim's Guardian character for this playtest. Still have to work out the stat lines.

I haven't had a chance to play this on my swordlord (rogue 3), but I also haven't had a chance to revise him to Remaster rules so it might take a day or so.

Skills shouldn't be affected, just proficiencies and feats.

Hello, my magus lvl 4 applies for this one if there is still a seat.

I'm interested. You want another Commander?

Just going in application order, we'll get Locke Aldori and Dran'Thal in.

It's not that I wanted or needed a second Commander or not, just that I was open to the option. Depending on how long this run takes, I may consider running it a second time, but no promises.
