I played with this avatar in THIS WotR campaign that didn't make it past the first page. I'd be up for getting further than the first battle...

Bump! You okay Brad?
Brad - is it the next round? If so: Move Action: move to engage Dretch. Standard Action:
Faaaaaaantastic. 0_0
Tracking xp is nofun. ;)
Anowar winces as he sees the demon horde's calamitous crash with the amassed knights. On hearing the commander's call Anowar steels himself, the onset of battle causing him to master himself and remember his role. He raises himself up as much as he can and yells his own encouragement to those knights around him: "Hold the line! Hooold the line! Let none through! Remember your training lads and stick 'em where it hurts!!! For Kenabres!!!" Standard Action - Inspiring Command (Inspire Courage - Audible) Inspire courage (Ex):
A 1st level inspiring commander can use his performance to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the bard’s performance. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 5th level, and every six inspiring commander levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +1, to a maximum of +4 at 17th level. Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. inspire courage can use audible or visual components. The inspiring commander must choose which component to use when starting his performance. Move Action: Rapid Tactician - grant all allies within 30' the Precise Strike teamwork feat for 3 rounds. Every ally now has this ability and can flank with each other to gain the bonus damage. Precise Strike: Whenever you and an ally who also has this feat are flanking the same the creature, you deal an additional 1d6 points of precision damage with each successful melee attack. This bonus damage stacks with other sources of precision damage, such as sneak attack. This bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
I'm loving it. My main problem with a lot of PbP's is the slow initial lead in. I've always wanted to start a PbP (or face to face adventure) with a straight up combat encounter without the players OR characters having any introduction - the bonds forged in the fire of battle are strong! So, yes, this is fabulous, regardless of whether we actually fight here... Action aplenty and action stations!!! @Drake - Cool, just making sure!!! ;)
Yep, great start Brad! Nice RP folks - loving the descriptions.
Though never a knight, Anowar's scale armor and greatsword seem fitting to him to advance. Unhelmed, he moves forward, shuffling in with the others. Momentarily he wonders to himself - Just what am I doing here?. He shakes his long mane of hair out of his eyes, wishing he had trimmed it as planned. His hands clammy on Deepstrike's well worn handle, wind whips around him, almost as if the explosion of fiends had brought with it a fetid charged air from the bowels of the earth. Although scared, Anowar was ready.
Anowar rises on the first explosion, and swiftly douses and stows his pipe. On hearing the call for warriors he strides toward the assembling men, disdaining his pack in the rush. His eyes wide with wonder, he cannot tear his eyes away from this Stormking, this avatar of terror and doom. Deepstrike in hand he tries to direct civilians away from the impending danger, his officer's mien and practiced voice adding weight to his authority.
Anowar grunts a negative accompanied by a slight shake of the head as he drops his pack and sits before working at the buckle on the harness holding his greatsword at his back. "Not mine. Never had much interest in trusting another creature to step in the right place, especially a big, dumb beast that might break your legs if it fell with you on it. I'm an honest footsoldier Mario. The armor's a bit heavy, but it serves me well." Anowar finishes unbuckling the greatsword and rests it in front between his legs.
He then pats the service dagger at his belt. "And Gutter here finishes them off when they are flailing on the ground". There is no grim satisfaction or feral gleam in Anowar's eye, just a matter of fact statement born of experience.
A figure approaches Mario. "Well met soldier." The speaker is obviously a man used to arms and armor - even now, in the heat of the day dressed in scalemail, his gorget incised with an Ulfen wolf motif, his sharp facial features reminiscent of a native of Varisia, though his cool grey eyes speak to Ulfen heritage also. Eyes that gleamed with intelligence. That were now creasing with a smile still evident around a slim homemade pipe. "Anowar Kharik" he says, putting his hand out to Mario. "Mind if I share a space?".
@Fomiel/Chainmail/Justin: Just checked out that campaign (checked the avatar's posts) - how does the map work - seems to be a googledoc/googledrawing? I like the concept immensely, but I definitely have a lot of trouble with googledocs on my iPhone where I do the majority of my posting. Can it be manipulated by the players?
;) No worries Brad. As for the start/story, don't sweat it - the setting will surely speak for itself. And by all means let us do the heavy lifting - as in, once you describe the initial scene we'll jump in and inhabit it, roleplaying (or fighting) our way through, feeling the story out and creating it just as much as being created by it. At least, that's my theory.
Thanks for the heads-up Brad.
Updated list: Fomiel Tiefling Sorcerer (Abyssal bloodline)
Welcome to the party Drake. @Brad - we waiting on one more or is this it?
Eh, I wouldn't sweat it personally (sorry for the pun). If it will work for you later that's great, and there may be non-fire based stuff to fight too...
So Fomiel Tiefling Sorcerer (Abyssal bloodline)
Who else we waiting on?
Put them in the Class/Levels field. Check Anowar's profile.
Hi all! Anowar checking in. Hey Mario, last we met was on a ship under attack from grindylow...I was the wasting curse Oracle...
Thanks for the heads up brad! Anowar complete now - finished Skills, Traits, Background, Equipment cost and weight and chose Order.
Hmm. Seems I haven't chosen my traits nor fixed up my skills. Thanks for prompting me by your post Nigri!!! [EDIT - Still need to choose traits and buy the rest of equipment and add backstory...]
No worries Nigri - happy to take a look...
Now remember, these are things I'd want to see if I was the GM, but Brad may be less concerned. Your sheet looks totally fine, but for my preference: * I can't see your Initiative bonus - should be +1 I think from Dex mod
Apart from Initiative and CMD, the rest is kinda a neither here nor there thing...
Okay, Oceanshieldwolf's character, Anowar Kharik - a Human Cavalier (Inspiring Commander). Still need to complete skills, buy equipment, and write up backstory. Essentially Anowar is a soldier, a mixed-blooded Varisian/Ulfen mercenary sergeant-at-arms come to Kenabres to find employ, and perhaps, renown. |
