So...what action does this take to use? Is it a Free action like the normal Mark, or does it take a Standard (following the rules for Ex and Su abilities with no action listed)?

Our Oracle player has vanished into thin air, and we need someone to replace them. The current party line-up is: Endoralis: Darius Ral'Algul, Half-Orc (formerly Half-Elf) Inquisitor 8/Alchemist 2/Warder 1. He's a Belmont, basically. Werewolf and vampire hunter by trade. A bit stern and serious. Idiot Cube: Jones Shei'Lac (half-elves like their apostrophes), Half-Elf Investigator 11. Uses a rapier and stabby stabs his way to victory. More laid back, but very dedicated to helping people. Dual Jay: Samuel Sledge, Human Brawler 9/Monk 2. Standard Pummel/Dragon charger. Literally a hobo they found squatting in Schloss Caromarc. You would be replacing Zin'Retatarianna Mor, Human Oracle (Flames) 10/Sorcerer 1. Hotheaded, in more ways than one. All about the boom, and has a hair trigger temper to match. Obsessed with curing her Oracle Curse. Will be rejoining the party if her player comes back. Former characters include: List of the Dead:
Cassiel Cogito (Idiot Cube), Elf Wizard 1. Coup de graced by skeletons.
Jules Jericho, Half-Elf Magus 1 (Comeau). Horribly ripped apart by Harrowstone spirits because his player left and he wanted a dramatic detah. Shoukichi Hisei, Kitsune Bard 2 (Evil Brain). Lost a battle of wills with Father Charlatan. Steef Kraflslayer (Alexgndl), Dwarf Zen Archer Monk. Blinked out of existence when his player left. Azrin Nemarosa (Idiot Cube), Human Cleric 5. Coup de graced by Ghouls. Ezekiel Andervalts, Tiefling Barbarian 6 (Dual Jay). Slammed and dropped off a 200 foot cliff by an Elder Air Elemental. Body drifted down river into a ghoul infested swamp. Bulldozer, Duergar Aegis 6 (Evil Brain). Riddled with arrows by an Erinyes, fell out of the air into the same river as Ezekiel. From even higher up. Amanorn Preyedan, Elf Fighter/Wizard/Eldritch Knight/Arcane Archer level 10 (GreenTeaGamer). Feebleminded after attacking a creature the party had made peace with. Nobody liked him much anyway, and he was not fixed (as his player's preference). Vanne Morkvinter (GreenTeaGamer), Dhampir Tattooed Sorcerer 10. Popped out of existence after his player needed to take a step back from the boards. Honorable Mentions go to Darius and Jones failing their saves vs Circle of Death, but being saved by divine intervention in the form of a one-shot "Undo the effects of any spell or curse" Maguffin I gave them earlier. Another honorable mention goes to Zin's hopes of getting her Curse removed any time soon after its use to save their lives. Just one more and I get lucky 13! As you can see, people tend to die. Usually due to bad luck or bad choices. If, with that in mind, you want to join, here's the character creation rules: -25 point buy -1.5x HD at 1st level, average round up hereafter (4 for d6, 5 for d8, 6 for d10, 7 for d12) -Wealth By level for 11th level -3 Traits Material available: -Any Paizo, though Summoners may be low priority since I need to audit them very carefully. If it's not on the SRD or another online resource, you'll need to post the material in its entirety so I can look at it. -Dreamscarred Press' Ultimate Psionics material, and their Path of War material. Yes, Feats and such included for both. Kn. Psionics and Kn. Martial will be mostly worthless, as a heads up. Kn. Martial may occasionally come up if I restat a classed NPC as an Initiator, but it will be minimally and situationally useful at best. -Most other 3rd party on a case-by-case.
-You are not required but are heavily encouraged to play either a ranged character, a full caster, or both. We have reach melee, and we have two close melee guys. I'll probably barely glance at any more melee dudes unless they reeeeaaaaaaaallllllly stand out as a character. -I'll be honest, if I've seen you around the boards a lot and have played or applied to games with you, you probably have a better chance of getting in, mostly because we're in the home stretch of this AP and I want to avoid rotating in and out any more characters. Relevant Houserules:
-An Amulet of Mighty Fists is, for all intents and purposes, a weapon. It takes up your amulet slot but otherwise works as a weapon. Same cost, +10 total bonus. -Any BOUGHT gear may be sold back for full price. I see no need to penalize you half your investment if you, for example, have a +1 Flaming sword and want it to be +1 Frost instead. FOUND gear is sold for half as usual. -Pummeling Bully now reads: Prerequisite(s): Any Two Improved Combat Maneuver Feats, Improved Unarmed Strike, Pummeling Style; base attack bonus +9, brawler level 5th, or monk level 5th. Benefit: When you hit with a Pummeling Style attack, you can attempt a combat maneuver check for any maneuver you have the Improved Maneuver Feat for as a free action. -Alignment restrictions don't exist. Exception: Paladin/Anti, but Anti-Paladins may be Lawful Evil. -Don't bother tracking Encumbrance if you have a positive Str modifier. You may be audited if it's below 10. -I assume you can find normal ammunition in any quantity you need. Mostly just quality of life sorta things. There may be some other minor ones I can't recall ATM. Something to keep in mind, but not build for is I have considered, if everyone is still on board afterward, continuing the AP after its conclusion into some high level Mythic shenanigans. This is not a done deal, so if you build your character with the intent of "When I hit Mythic Tier 3 this will be godly" you have only yourself to blame when it sucks. Ask any questions you like and I'll try to answer them as quick as I can. Recruitment goes until I pick a guy.
I have unfortunately lost one of my players recently, and it's been a 3 man party for a while, so I wanted to open a recruitment for this game. The basic premise is a far future where the knowledge of how to practice magic has been lost for a VERY long time. The plane is not magic-dead (any existing immortal magic users like dragons and undead that still exist ca still practice, magic items retained as artifacts through generations still function, and magical beasts are rare, though existent), but the knowledge of how to perform it has been lost or discarded. In its place, technology and Psionic powers have risen, as well as supernatural martial combat. Cars and other motorized vehicles, electricity, etc. are not uncommon, and Alchemists thrive. The game was designed largely to be a sandbox, and a very player driven one. I dropped the initial players into a "hunt for a magical artifact" quest, but after that they moved on to tracking down an old foe of one of the characters' familiar, and are now a month out from any civilization exploring a pyramid. There-in lies the rub. If you're interested in this game, I will gladly let you create your own character, but it may be a while before that character sees the light of day. In the meantime, there is the character left behind by the leaving player (Donovan Egoblade, a Psychic Warrior, based around summoning mind weapons) and an NPC (A Path of War Mystic, heavily focused on Riven Hourglass and Elemental Flux Maneuvers. Uses thrown weapons). For an indeterminate period of time, you would be playing one of these. I'll post the character creation rules, but anyone expressing interest should know they'll be joining under those conditions. The basics are: -Level 9 -High stat generation (randomly rolled, but at 3d5+8 the chances of you being underwhelmed are quite low) -NO magic users 9, 6, 4, 1 level, doesn't matter. Su and Sp abilities are fine (because otherwise nearly every class would be disqualified), but no class with any casting levels whatsoever. -Other than that, any Paizo class allowed. I also automatically allow classes from Dreamscarred Press' Psionics and Path of War (not Akashic Mysteries or any of the other stuff, some because they're magic users, most because I don't have the books), as well as material from Thunderscape: Worlds of Aden (if you do not have a copy of the book I will provide a look at it for you if you are accepted. Lots of tech goodies in there, including a cyborg class!). Other 3pp by request, but I will find some way to come through a computer and bop you on the nose if you ask to play a Godling. Don't think I won't. -We'll be using a home variant of Automatic Bonus Progression (been in use for a long time, we like it better. Mostly the same, but slightly faster progression, and weapons/armor aren't included. No WBL cut though.). There's some other stuff, but since you're going to be in this pyramid for a bit yet, that can wait. Feel free to submit ideas for future characters now, BTW, never hurts to get a head start.
And the Discussion thread.
This will be a second table for For Great Justice!, because 10 people is way too many for me to track at once.
It is a quiet afternoon in your home city of Sommweir, and you're all carrying on your business...
Alrighty, we'll start going over charop and stuff here. Basics for character creation: -Starting level is 4th -Attributes: Pick them. I want to try something new, and superheroes should be exemplary anyway. Normal limits apply though (max 18, min 7 pre-racial). -Allowed classes: All Paizo and Dreamscarred Press. Other third party on a case-by-case basis, except Godlings. F#&$ Godlings. Everything else by Rogue Genius is already fighting uphill with me too, fair warning. -Gestalt, but one side must be Vigilante. -HP is max per level. -We will be using the following version of Automatic Bonus Progression. Spoiler:
Character Advancement Bonuses All characters receive the following benefits at levels 1, 9 and 18. - A +1 untyped bonus to their weak saves. (So it goes from +1 to +9. instead of +0 to +6, meaning your weak saving progression is not a death sentence by 8th level :P) All characters receive the following benefits at levels 2, 6, 10, 14 and 18.
All characters receive the following benefits at levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20
Considering working out something for magic weapons and armor as well, I just don't like Paizo's ABP progression and the rules on separate enchantments. Other houserules may be incoming.
Seems to have come to a head yesterday, with Hogan winning $115 million in damages (and the judge pushing for more in punitive charges). It seems like Gawker's actions have finally caught up with them, since I'm pretty sure they can't afford to pay that. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the matter might be (though technically I guess this is "old news" since the case springs from a 2012 event). |
