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.

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

Defense Racial Traits

This racial trait replaces elven immunities.
Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks. {2RP}

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?
