If somebody is stuck on a character build, or is open to advice, an Inquisitor with the Cold Iron Warden archetype would be heckin super badass in this game!
@Monkey
That looks actually very good. It may actually be better than rogue for my friend oath paladin.
Thanks! I'll see how it alters my build

Racial Traits
Defense Racial Traits
Elemental Resistance: {2RP} Resistance 5/Cold
Elves who dwell in the most extreme environments, from arctic wastelands to volcanic plains, develop natural resistance to the dangers of their homelands over the course of a few generations. Elves with this racial trait gain elemental resistance 5 to acid, cold, electricity, or fire. This choice is made at character creation, and once made it cannot be changed. This racial trait replaces elven immunities.
Feat and Skill Racial Traits
Skill bonus (Perception) {2RP}
Fey-Sighted {3RP}
You gain detect magic as a constant spell-like ability, with a caster level equal to your character level. This racial trait replaces elven magic.
Offense Racial Traits
Eastern Weapon Mastery: {2RP}
Elves with this racial trait are proficient with fighting fans and tonfa, and they treat katanas, kusarigamas, and wakizashis as martial weapons. This replaces weapon familiarity.
Senses Racial Traits
Darkvision: {2RP}
Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a drow in the elf’s ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf’s home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell. This racial trait replaces low-light vision.
I tried to make Cleric/Ninja work for my Snow-elf but it felt all wrong.
This look was that of a Ranger
So changed her, to Legendary Ranger/Cleric and now she feel right.
Silver was born under a conjunction of stars, at the hight of the long knight. They say the elder spirits stood round the tribes winter encampment and waited for her 1st scream. Silver was just the little bit more kinder, faster, smarter and more Durable in the white than her siblings and trabe mates. She took to tracking and stealth even as a child spending days alone out in the cold wilds. There she said talking to nature. When she came of Age she was sent to the Evlen Ice City to gain her education in the ways of the greater world. Being educated in a religious institution to took to the clerical ways, while being told of for heading out to the ice fields to much. She is a child of two worlds the wild and civilised.
For her trates and main features.
A Child of Nature {trait} living in the Great White of the north, With in her Snow Elf tribe, she is legendary for spending weeks out hunting in the hardest winter and yet coming back alive. She has an Affinity for cold environments {Resistance 5 cold race and Cold Resilience -regional trait} She has strong ties to her Family/tribe {drewback} But has a natural affinity to colder environments, and living in them. {Cold Resilience Trait} The Dream Spirits showed her the ways of the Great white Ice Fields. {Child of Nature trait} And her, Nature is a Faith, and Freedom within it is a state of mind {Domain} and being.{Snow elf race} She knows the healing ways and uses a Heal Kit and Clerical magics when she or others are hurt. Hunt or battle her Elf bow is her 1st weapon of choice, then hand to hand or Hunting blade close in, {Classes}. Some find the fact her tribe suspicious reeking of the taint of the Drow, with their Darkvision, White hair and pale skins. But she has an especially off look, {Mutient eye trait} which she hides under her hair, and is very selfcouses off. She tires to pays no heed to others who look down at them, She is of a proud Snow Elves tribe and to them the long winter nights need eyes that see, and the great snow needs Hair and skin that lets one hide, how can one hunt otherwise, and evil walks in Dakr places to always be aware.
I have no doubt other PCS will have Kn Skills and Disable device covered. What I wanted to someone able to help the party track and travel. Catch, gut, Butcher, and cook your dinner. I like her now as she has a real feel of who she is and where she comes from.
Okay, I ended up making a liar of myself and ended up throwing together...
Dr. Lucian Argentum, a Scholar/Conscript. He's a non-magical healer and, starting next level, will be built to be a frankly terrifying sniper.
The core of his character concept is an uncomplicatedly good man here to help people, with or without the assistance or approval of the gods.
Important to remember that this game was created in response of Monkeygod's game, so his character is already in!
We are competing for the remaining 3 spots.
Also, considering we'll be just 4 players, I personally believe it to be highly unlikely that the GM will pick two full arcane spellcasters and Monkeygod's current character is an arcanist/sorcerer.
This is just a conjecture of mine, of course.
This may look better and more geared to what we plan to do

I am a bit weary of making my PC 'fit' the campaign. My hope is that my PCs being 1st level will evolve in game play as they progress.
Just my own view on my pc is all.
It seems indeed too strong for so few points.
Compared to the normal +2, +2, -2, this gives you a net +6 ability scores and allows you to allocate them as it better fits your character.
+6 is more than you get from leveling up to 20th.
Gm eriktd stated
" The goal is to make it feel extra mythic, so the characters are pretty crazy to start, and I'll add some surprises and power-scaling to the monsters on my end."
"You get 15 race points, so if you go Human (9 RP) you have 6 points to buy more racial traits with. These can be Advanced but not Monstrous."
And also we start with a 30 point Buy, that can be 14 in every stat from the get go. I would also add other none core races get some sweet sweet stuff as well, that way less RP cost wise. Flying outsider anyone. :)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sure, but the advanced ability score is not a trait.
From the race builder rules, the type, size, scores and language are qualities. Just then we get to traits.
The advanced charisma, as an example, is a trait, but it costs you 4 points for just +2.
Anyway, better to wait for the GM to confirm if this is allowed. I've never considered it was, because it was bonkers, but if it is, sure, I'll probably add it to my PC as well.
Arr I see your point, and it's a valid one, I would agree. Very easy to fix. I shall strip it out, just to keep things simple.
Understood and all done, Can we do Alternate Racial Traits from the race,
As that's outside of RP and my main build parts to get the snow Elf.
Arctic Elf: These elves were born and raised in the frozen lands of the far north or south, and have dealt with freezing deserts, nights that last for weeks, and the horrors that roam the cold terrain. These elves have the darkvision, desert runner, and elemental resistance alternate racial traits.
Sorry, no— Sir Longears succinctly described the rule. You can add traits, but you can’t change the basic qualities of your race.
And yes, you can add alternate traits by buying the traits for which they exchange, but only if you're that particular race. For example, a human could get Comprehensive Study for the cost of Skilled (4 RP), but not an elf, since it isn't an elf alternate trait and it isn't on the general list of traits from which elves can choose.
I’ll rework mine, apologies for the misunderstanding.
Cool
Arctic Elf
These elves were born and raised in the frozen lands of the far north or south, and have dealt with freezing deserts, nights that last for weeks, and the horrors that roam the cold terrain. These elves have the darkvision, desert runner, and elemental resistance alternate racial traits.
Standard Racial Traits
Ability Score Modifiers: {1RP}
Elves are nimble, both in body and mind, but their form is frail. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, and –2 Constitution. {1RP}

Type: Elves are Humanoids with the elf subtype. {0RP}
Base Speed: Elves have a base speed of 30 feet.{0RP}
Languages: Elves begin play speaking Common and Elven. Elves with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Celestial, Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.{0RP}
Defense Racial Traits
Elemental Resistance: {2RP} Resistance 5/Cold
Elves who dwell in the most extreme environments, from arctic wastelands to volcanic plains, develop natural resistance to the dangers of their homelands over the course of a few generations. Elves with this racial trait gain elemental resistance 5 to acid, cold, electricity, or fire. This choice is made at character creation, and once made it cannot be changed. This racial trait replaces elven immunities.
Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks. {2RP}
Magical Racial Traits
Desert Runner: {2RP}
Some elves thrive in the deepest deserts, forever roaming across burned and parched lands. Elves with this racial trait receive a +4 racial bonus on Constitution checks and Fortitude saves to avoid fatigue, exhaustion, or ill effects from running, forced marches, starvation, thirst, or hot or cold environments. This racial trait replaces elven magic.
Offense Racial Traits
Weapon Familiarity: {2RP}
Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.
Senses Racial Traits
Darkvision: {1RP With Drawback}
Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a drow in the elf’s ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf’s home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell. This racial trait replaces low-light vision.
{Game Add Advanced}
Advanced Wisdom {4RP}
Benefit: Members of this race receive a +2 racial bonus to Wisdom.
Fast {1RP}
Prerequisites: Normal speed.
Benefit: Members of this race gain a +10 foot bonus to their base speed.
Still very respectable and all fits her background.
I'm thinking of taking the Oath of Offerings. Firstly, would that be okay? Second, I worry a game like Wrath might not have many opportunities to make said offerings, and I don't wanna cheese the system.
If approved, I plan on spending 4 points on the bonus feats boon. Would aasimar racial feats be thematically acceptable?
I’ll rework mine, apologies for the misunderstanding.
Moving back to normal stats freed up 4RP, which I used for Sprinter (+10 feet on a charge, run, or withdraw) +1RP and Greater Spell Resistance (11+level) +3RP. Both tend to fit with his existing stats, being fast and using so much magic that now some of it slides off of him.
I spent the last of my race points on Advanced Wisdom and updated Kevin. He should be good to go now.
Just for clarification, for those of use whose race is aasimar, we don't get any race points, since they're already 15 RP, correct?
Some of the submissions don't have backgrounds or character descriptions that I could find. Could everyone who wants to be considered for this game please make sure they have finished everything I asked for tomorrow by 17:00 PST? That's approximately 18 hours from now.
I'm thinking of taking the Oath of Offerings. Firstly, would that be okay?
Yes, you can take the Oath of Offerings.
Second, I worry a game like Wrath might not have many opportunities to make said offerings, and I don't wanna cheese the system.
I appreciate that. :) Tell you what, if a temple of your faith is not immediately available, I'll allow you to donate to any temple of the same alignment, even to a chaplain while on crusade if necessary, with the confidence that they will see it gets to the appropriate place.
If approved, I plan on spending 4 points on the bonus feats boon. Would aasimar racial feats be thematically acceptable?
I don't think so, sorry. I think the bonus feats allowed are severely restricted on purpose, so that you have to take things from the list. I'm sure you can find worthy feats, or you can take talents or the other benefits instead. :)
Just for clarification, for those of use whose race is aasimar, we don't get any race points, since they're already 15 RP, correct?
That's correct. It also means (though I don't think anyone tested this) that races with more than 15 Race Points can't be taken. It is possible that there may be ways to change your race going forward, or to improve your race by gaining additional RPs.
I spent the last of my race points on Advanced Wisdom and updated Kevin. He should be good to go now.
Tieflings already have 13 points, so to take advanced wisdom you'd have to take some drawback to give you more points, otherwise you'll have 17 points instead of 15.
Hm, need to spend my 6 RP still. Humans technically don't qualify for the stat increasing traits since their +2 to any one stat is not specifically tied to any of those stats.
Advanced Wisdom (4 RP)
Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: Members of this race receive a +2 racial bonus to Wisdom.
Special: This bonus can be taken multiple times, but each additional time it is taken, its cost increases by 1 RP. Its effects stack.
Pffft, I was reading the benefit as the prerequisite

Unfortunately he continued to fail and Anton followed his young masters next journey to the Crusades against the Worldwound. He became proficient in cooking and finding food. As the pair journeyed Anton became more confident, but also served dutifully.
In Mendev Cador joined with a mercenary group. Though Anton wasn't an offical member he became the servant to the squad. Anton even went out into the wilds hunting the wayword demons. It was during one of these excursions that they were attacked. Cabor and the group was broken and Anton began to hide.
Scurrying and hiding Anton survived eating what he could find and eat as well as using the gear of parted and left behind. Still he was hounded constantly by the forces of the Abyss. Eventually a mysterious woman saved Anton.
Thankful Anton returned to Kenabreas. here he joined the local Pathfinders, working as a cook and general support staff to many of the Mercenary groups. Combined with his status as a Child of Nature,through his time in the wilderness and the skills he learned while initiation training with the local Lodge Anton was shaped up to be an interesting figure and fighter among the Logistical support of Mendevian Crusade
I spent the last of my race points on Advanced Wisdom and updated Kevin. He should be good to go now.Tieflings already have 13 points, so to take advanced wisdom you'd have to take some drawback to give you more points, otherwise you'll have 17 points instead of 15.
I didn't see his listed so I added up what he had. Kevin doesn't use the base race traits. I added up the traits he had and it came to 11, which leaves 4.

The reason I was asking is the description states: These feats should be thematically associated with the idea of bonding with some force or making a physical or spiritual commitment towards some entity.
And: Others may be available at GM discretion.
My thinking was that getting further in touch with her divine nature/parentage would qualify, however, no big deal if you disagree. Just wanted to explain my thought process.

The breakdown of how many RPs tieflings get can be found here. It says 13 points, though that is treating Darkvision as 0 RP rather than 2. (I guess both tieflings and aasimars get Darkvision for free, as part of their Outsider type.)
Fiendish Sprinter replaces both Skill Bonus abilities, which means it costs 4 RP, not 1. I don't think you can take fewer RPs than what the base race costs.

Ok. I'll pick something else if that's your ruling.
Aasimrs and tiefling and I believe they get dark vision as part of the outsider native type so it's points are in there.
All right, I'm closing this recruitment. Thank you everyone who applied! I appreciate the effort you put into developing and describing your ideas. I'll have a list of selected players and characters shortly.
Again, thank you everyone for applying. You made this a very difficult choice, and I'm sorry I can't take all of your epic characters. So, without further ado, here's the party.
Monkeygod's Lady Sabella Arvanxi, LG human Legendary Arcanist (Theurge) // Legendary Sorcerer (Arcane Seeker)
Sir Longears's Amarilis Whitewolf, CG human Barbarian (Painted Savage) // Samurai (Warrior Poet)
Ouachitonian's Othniel Laurentius, LN elf Magus (Bladebound, Kensai) // Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade)
Han Del of the Web's Dr Lucian Argentum, LG human Conscript // Scholar
I've created a Discussion thread for us to begin planning our campaign. Congratulations!

Thank you for offering to run a game GM Allegro.
I take I think more Joy from making a PC than playing them sometimes.
And this was a joy to work on. Have fun everyone.
