Galahad's Kingmaker Expanded

Game Master Galahad0430

Interesting. Does the excess spell levels also count for classes that aren't focused on casting? For example, spells aren't the main combat feature for the paladin, does this mean I'd get 3 more slots at levels 1-3, and 2 for level 4?

Ah, thank you for pointing thast out. For classes that have only 4 levels of spells, it is just one spell per day extra.

Another question related to this

Would this also increase orison/cantrip spells?

Character sheets: I need your profile to have a complete chatracter sheet. As I said above, if you like, I can send the Hero Lab format sheet for ease.

I don't know what Hero Lab is, but if it makes it easier I won't turn it down.

Spells: Spontaneous casters get two more spells per day for each level (casting, not known). For casters that memorize, they get three more per day for level 1-3, and two more for all other levels. This is so casters aren't completed depleted by a single big ancounter.

Do these numbers apply to 6-level casters, as well?

As far as alignment goes, Stanislaw leans more into the Good part of LG as opposed to the Lawful part. He might slide a bit between LG and NG in terms of actions.

...For casters that memorize, they get three more per day for level 1-3, and two more for all other levels. This is so casters aren't completed depleted by a single big ancounter...

More spells per day?? * does the happy elf dance...then pauses to look around, embarassed, hoping no on saw him * Thank you.

Hopefully Elaina doesn't annoy anyone OOC. She comes on strong.

GM: what is the timeframe on groups being chosen? Do you want us players to figure it out ourselves, or will you be telling us where we go?

I love her already.

Meredith is NG, leaning more towards CG in overall disposition when it comes to helping those in need. If it matters haha.

will be interesting to see how she and Ikit gets along :P

Okay, I think it is decided by both characters that Stanislaw and Daxiana will be splitting up so no side is neglected in Archers.

The Prologue Chapter will probably finish by this weekend. The split will be set then.

You can already cast those an unlimited number of times per day, so no. The increase applies only to level one spells and above.

Nah, she's pretty fun!

Definitely interesting. If Elenaril ends up in the cenataurs group I'll have to retool some character elements that only work when in forests. Also, she's built for interaction with the Fey if that goes into the decision.

This was my tentative breakfown. Nothing is set in stone though, I can make changes if anyone has a strong desire for a different split.

Pyros - Human Swordlord (Front line melee) – CG Varnhold
Cassia - Human Slayer (Front line melee:) – N Varnhold
Daxiana - Human Ranger (Ranged) CG Varnhold
Elina - Human Cleric (Divine) – CG Varnhold
Gaxi - Kobold Sorcerer (Arcane) – CN Varnhold
Ikit - Ratfolk Magus (Front Line / Arcane ) – CN Varnhold
Raork - Grippli Inquisitor (Divine) – CG Varnhold
Maeric – Hal-elf Rogue – CN Varnhold

Stanislaw - Human Warpriest (Ranged) – LG Stolen Lands
Veniir - Human Paladin (Front line melee) – LG Stolen Lands
Meredith - Human Cavalier (Front line melee) -NG Stolen Lands
Piret - Half-Elf Investigator (Skill/Support) – CG Stolen Lands
Athrehon - Elven Sorcerer (Arcane) – NG Stolen Lands
Elenaril - Half-Elf Druid (Divine) – N Stolen Lands
Sven - Dwarf (Front Line Melee / Support) – LG Stolen Lands
Aelbourne - Half-Elf Rogue (Skill/Support) -CG Stolen Lands

Elaina's profile isn't quite complete but I won't have a chance to update it for a couple days, going out of town for work. She's NG with Chaotic leanings. Her group looks good to me.

The breakdown looks good to me. I have no complaints. :)

For what it’s worth, Elenaril mentioned she wanted to be near woods and fey, and Sven wants to be near his old clan holdings. So… am I wrong to think that the top, more chaotic group would be best suited heading toward the centaurs, while the bottom group handles the bandits?

Also, with the bottom group leaning more toward law and tradition, it seems on point for them to deal with the bandits.

For the record, since I forgot to comment earlier, Elaina's refreshing and fun. Good stuff.

I have no complaints with that pairing

Varnhold is the area next to the Dunsward (centaurs). The Stolen Lands are the area claimed by the Stag Lord.

Works for me!

no complaints from me and I believe my character sheet should be up to date and ready for review

Huh. Dax will miss the forest, I'm sure she'll grow to love the plains and mountains :) I'm good with this! Never got to the Varnhold part of Kingmaker so it truly is all new to me as a player!

The two groupings look good to me!

Hello all it seems i'm off to Varnhold .. awesomeness

Ikit, Gaxi and Raok... smallfolk powa!!

Seems so. Excited to see what it holds

"Welcome to the Party, Pal!" McClane the Urban Ranger

Nothing like seeing a Frost Giant casting cone of colds to make a first leveler reconsider the life choices that brought her here ;)

Looks good to me!

I like the division. It will give Meredith and Harter plenty of time to be competitive about riding horses. This looks like a powerful group.

I'm pretty sure that giant and the collapsed arch were for the Varnhold group.

Shit, you're right. I'm sorry!

We engineering type characters like engineering stuff. So completely understandable :P

Haha I also dabble in a bit of engineering, should be an interesting grouping

Huzzah!

I love how the chaotic group is charging in with gusto.

And the lawful group is naturally making a formation.

A cyborg Rodentman pulling a "Leroy Jenkins!" and all the other Varnhold crew piling in after wasn't on my bingo card... but I am amused. :)

The Flambe Kobold and the Rodentman with the accompanying Flying Frog to the Face maneuver...

are we splitting into 3 groups or am I misunderstanding?

No, there are 2 groups, the Tartuccio group is all NPCs. The Glenebon group as well (which will come into play much later).

For those that will be in the Varnhold group, here is the link to that thread:

I like the idea of having the NPCs join Tartuccio’s group. Makes the world feel more alive having established characters like that in it.

Kudos on the whole scene presentation, Galahad. Echoing Sven's statement, this does indeed feel like a living, breathing world rather than a standard opening of a classic AP. Bravo, sir.

Very well done!

Thank you everyone. I'm trying to blend the AP and the Owl Cat Games with a smattering of my own story as well. Anyone that's done both will see the similarities, but by upper mid-level there will be significant changes.

Sounds fun. Off to Varnhold for Dax :)

I may be slow to post for the next week or so. I work for the Oregon Department of Human Services and we're right on the edge of a catastrophe if SNAP benefits aren't issued for November.

We've been all hands on deck and overtime trying to figure out contingencies to cover the potential losses however we can. Hopefully it won't come to that, but if it does there are some very rough days coming.

Hope something breaks, or some unforeseen contingency goes into effect. Good to know there are people out there doing everything they can to help people.

I'm going to start teaching my horse the Track trick during our journey. It'll take a week total, I'll track the days trained on my sheet.
