No danger of the Cumberbatch thing. I don't watch the BBC version. If you'd want a hint of what he sounds like, let me copy paste some RP examples for you to decide if he fits or not. If he doesn't, I'll find something else. RP Example:
Vigilance sat at his poorly constructed desk and rested his feet on the edge. Crime in this part of the city had pretty much fallen to zero lately. Maybe not because of him, but Vigilance was fine with the result nonetheless. Still, the night left him with only paper work to do, and he had finished inscribing his journal hours ago. These were the rough nights. The nights where the city left him to his own devices. "Stuck in own head. Not pleasant place. Could be worse. Could have company in here. Lucky. Relatively." His eyes strayed to the letter he had received earlier that evening. "Address familiar. Professor. Six months, two weeks, four days since last response." His lithe fingers grasped the envelope and opened it careful not to tear the piece of paper inside. Opening the message, his eyes traced the words on the page carefully and thoroughly. "Unexpected death. Unpleasant. Cultural courtesy suggests I should attend funeral. Will probably need to converse with others. Unfortunate." The tiefling's face slowly lost its sour expression as he lowered his legs to the floor and stood up. "Professor was important part of town. Civic duty to attend and mourn loss of important tool. Besides, maybe Professor was murdered and there will be clues and suspects in attendance. Look on bright side." Twirling his sword cane in a slow circle, Vigilance stood and walked across the length of his spartan office and living quarters. "Need to take lengthy look at definition of bright side. Will do right after funeral." It's somewhere between Holmes, Rorschach, and a little bit of my own writing thrown in to make him unique. Like I said, if he's not what you're looking for, I'll come up with something else. I'm the last person to try to shoehorn in a character that doesn't belong. ![]()
![]() Excellent. Looking forward to the game. And, thank you for considering the advanced class guide classes. The other "detective" classes all either require charisma or only really give bonuses to diplomacy interrogation rolls which don't fit my character concept. Vigilance has absolutely no charisma. He's hostile, cold, and unable to understand social cues. He's just not the diplomacy sort either. ![]()
![]() I didn't even know E6-E7 existed until I read this. Sounds amazing! Experience and Posting Habits:
I've been in four campaigns so far. Two died because the GMs either lost interest or bit off more than they could chew. (One of these was a Carrion Crown game that ended during the will reveal after the funeral. I'm extremely fond of the character I created for it as he started off as a fop in my head and quickly turned into an autistic Rorschach / Sherlock Holmes crossbreed who had trouble understanding human niceties.) My posting habits depend on the game. If everyone in the game is posting heavily, I post heavily. If it takes an entire day to go through a round of combat, I'll probably just post the one time as there's not much for me to play off of otherwise. What I'm Looking For[/spoiler:
You had me at Lovecraftian. Character Concept: I would probably use my character from the past Carrion Crown game if at all possible. He's a detective (Investigator Advanced Class Guide class if at all possible) who was raised by a church of Abadar and worships the idea of culture and society, but doesn't quite understand how it works at the same time. He is inquisitive, curious, and rude. The whole time I roleplayed him, I couldn't help but think of a detective in a Lovecraftian story. ![]()
![]() 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) = 7
This ain't happening. There's a difference between challenging fights and stupidly hard fights with underpowered PCs. Good luck to those who rolled 17s... -1 point build. Sounds legit. ![]()
![]() I might be interested in running a Jade Regent game, but I'd have to buy the books first and figure out how to use all of these online DM tools. If I do decide to run it, I'd probably open up recruitment within the next few weeks. I'm too interested in actually playing Wrath of the Righteous to run it just yet. I've missed out on three games in a row now myself. ![]()
![]() It's been a lot of fun so far, but, much like most things, much of that comes from the people you do it with. My favorite moment so far wasn't from the adventure path itself, but was a little twist I made as GM. The party was taunting a captured fey and refused to release him. Frustrated, the little guy released a color spray knocking out the brawler mid-taunt causing the entire room to laugh their butts off for a good five minutes. The brawler won the exchange by tossing the sprite, still bound, into the nearby fire out of anger. Still, it was worth it. Would have even been better, but the swashbuckler used his Charmed Life ability to bump up his save and he barely made it. |
