Could still be time (or an extension) - see what Reckless comes back with :)

Also question for the M&M savants, is there any way to do a power like protection for the other defenses? Its purely flavor where it comes from but I'd like a bonus to dodge from a power rather than a baseline increase. The Defensive Roll Advantage also works exactly like your looking for granting +1 active defense bonus to Toughness per rank selected.
Getting there on my submission - spent the weekend searching the archives for ideas that popped. Hoping to have O.M.A.X-23 ready by deadline - a hydrid of OMAC and X-23 (if it wasn't obvious).
Dotting for interest. Got a few concepts in mind...but I'm leaning heavily toward one Piotr Genri Raspiron aka Kolosstal - a Colossus/Steel hybrid. Need to review crunch and tie fluff into the timeline.
Hey Brian - have another game where our GM has been MIA for some months. Could we get his one also deactivated please chief. Cheers BD
Apologies on the delay in reintroducing our intellectual giant folks - RL has stymied my time to get my teeth into his redesign good and proper. Essentially Professor Eoten? (or) Prof Eoten? (leaning toward the latter as it sounds more pulp) is now an amalgamation of the good Professor and his brute alter ego. Drawing inspiration from Smart Hulk, Red Hulk, Doc Savage amongst a plethora of others. Having ALOT of fun with this final incarnation of Eoten. Will try and get him done tonight and post on the morrow.
I'm in UK so will tend to post betwixt 5-8PM GMT unless work allows me respite to post doing the day.
Keeping it open works for me. As/when/if we run Season 2 I'm currently exploring some street level heroes and villains* who be a fit. I'll keep the channels open and work on some ideas, see what pops. What them to be different to Frank but befitting to our corner of the MCU. Jonathan Powers - The Jester is one that is under consideration, or the Jody Putt incarnation but I'm open to suggestions from the floor. * When I say villains I'm looking at characters who've been bad guys and flipped or have the potential of a reception arc - akin to Frank**. **Don't worry DQ - Paste Pot Pete won't make a repitch :)
Like the concept of an amalgamated Professor Eoten. Might be the weekend before I get my thinking cap on proper - but have some cool (if macabre) ideas...
So with this being the final arc I'd like to bring back the Professor and Eoten. If agreeable a decade gives me plenty of opportunity to rejig the pair of them especially with the additional PP. Sacred Bull was fun, but all through the Vampire arc I couldn't but help think - Eoten would have done that. I'd have used the Professor here etc Have some ideas ST but I'll PM you them if the above notion flies with you (and fits the set up for the final arc of the Netherwar).
For my input I'd go Rostland Bravo - has lots of fluff flavour (which I'm always drawn to in an archetype). I've not played a swashbuckler, but the panache looks a fun (if situational) mechanic. I've played Gunslingeresque characters who used deeds and they are useful for key combats or making an impression on foes by augmenting your attacks. Like Adam touched on swashbuckler has decent skill picks also - which give you the opportunity to branch into social/leadership skills if necessary as the game develops. With a 15 point build we'll all be on a slow development build - which makes this all the more interesting. Would be an interesting one to see in action - given the heavy emphasis on flair and flashy combat style.
Feck it - just going with the Penitent-Sister
Proper weird like.
Strange - my detailed post from earlier seems to have blanked... Just stellar... Adam I'll reply again in a PM on our characters.
Hey Adam :) Abdarian duo would be pretty interesting. My inquisitor is taking shape in my head and crunch-wise... She'll likely be LG and, as a half-orc, perhaps more charitable in her inclination for the distribution of wealth etc. A counter balance might be a more hard bitten Abadarian whose LN and sees business as far more cutthroat? Conversely she may need a handler whose has closer ties to the faith? A covetous cursed Oracle of Abadar would seem a hoot on paper... Perhaps both oracle and inquisitor are misfits within the Church. Being sent to a backwater to fail... and if somehow they succeed and fill the coffers then it was all Abadar's will in the first place :) I might also play her as more LN at the inception of the game, but as the campaign develops and the needs of the many outweigh the coffers of the few, she gravitates towards LG. Of course the Kingdom may be more feudal and my inquisitor becomes the tax collector (She-reeve of Rottingham so to speak). Who knows... time will tell if lucky enough to be selected. However make up of the group might benefit more from other faiths/beliefs being present. So all of your options are a great fit. Another (wider) consideration - is the potential of the Abadarian church quietly backing a potential noble bastard whose claim may come good... chips would be called in.
@hustonj: Totally agree mate - was just popping the River Kingdoms stuff up as a potential flavour hook for Drek seeking a place where their freedom is a right rather than earned or given. I previously played a gnome river-freebooter in another KM game and it was his mantra, so thought I'd repost for all and sundry.
@GM T - perfect on the traits front. @hustonj: Possible that slavery exists in Brevoy or Restov but unlikely in the River Kingdoms. Their folk by a code called The Six River Freedoms which I've spoiler below for reference - couple have real resonance for Drektan: SIx River Freedoms (of The River Kingdoms): Say What You Will, I Live Free: The freedom to speak is not the same as freedom from consequences of speech. Outsiders, drunkards, and fools are the only ones who vocally invoke this freedom. All others respect it, and live with it accordingly. Still, criticism of government is more common here than in other lands. Pride sometimes intervenes, but a long-lasting lord is one who lets tongues wag. Oathbreakers Die: The opposite of free speech in the River Kingdoms is the gravity of oath-breaking. Petty liars are common, but in a land where tomorrow can bring a gang of mercenaries, the people in charge must know whom they can trust. Riverfolk who undertake oaths of this nature keep them, or die trying. Walk Any Road, Float Any River: This freedom implies no safety while traveling, especially from the local lord. It merely prevents lords from blocking land and water travel, or charging tolls for passing (except for non-Riverfolk). However, in practice, it means no lord can take his or her people for granted. Courts Are for Kings: One of the most basic freedoms of the River Kingdoms, this one holds that all laws within the river kingdom are flexible, and that rulers of a kingdom may do as they wish. Visitors to a river kingdom -- be they king or commoner -- are bound by the (often arbitrary) laws of that kingdom. Consequently rulers of the different kingdoms infrequently visit each other, and instead rely on liaisons and intermediaries. Slavery Is an Abomination: Escaped slaves are an important fact of life in the River Kingdom. A slave that escapes to the River Kingdoms is considered truly free. By some estimates, more than a third of all people living in the River Kingdoms are either escaped slaves or children of escaped slaves. Thousands of slaves make their way to the River Kingdoms annually and fiercely defend their newfound freedoms. You Have What You Hold: This freedom draws the moral distinction between stealing and robbery. In the River Kingdoms, it is more preferable to face your robber, to be allowed the opportunity to resist (and perhaps to repossess!). It is acceptable (and perhaps worthy of praise) to take what you want by force.
Sounds an intriguing kickoff of KM. Dotting for interest GM T:) Have a half-orc Inquisitor of Abadar as my gestating concept. She'll (likely) have been a foundling or orphan whose been brought up by the Church. Her talents meant she was well suited to night watch/guard duties on vaults or trade routes and has been invested by her Abdarian Archbankers to ensure their interests are protected and augmented in any of House Lebeda's endeavours. Couple of questions from my side on trait (which I'm a big fan of). What's the starting amount of traits for the game? 1 free +1 KM campaign? Do you allow Additional Traits feat?
So have been mulling the "good" Sister - and while I dearly love the concept, am thinking she'd be better suited to a grimmer game when I can go full zealot. As such thinking of shelving her for this game and replacing her with a Cleric of Olidammara from the Greyhawk pantheon (so a cleaner fit from a deity point of view). He'd be a vagabond fool and former beggar who now follows The Laughing God. Might rejig my stats a little but wanted to see if there's any dissent or comment (particularly from our illustrious GM) before I spent Sunday creating him.
I remember that too - was some crazy matrix for specific classes and (also) would have sworn it was in Unearthed Arcana with all the "new" class options... @ Albion: Ditto on the interest - split my D&D Halcyon days betwixt Mystara (Basic) and Greyhawk (AD&D) so would be down for pitching to whatever you come up with.
Aw, was excited to see an Ilmater cleric PC in action. That sounds cool too though. Could still make her a cleric of Ilmater, would need to delve into Realms lore more :)
@Salsa - Had thought about it. Wasn't sure which pantheon we were using. More I look into Ilmater the more they seem perfect - and they have Saints and Orders - which ties in really well with my initial idea...
@GM J: Was actually thinking of him following a Holy Order devoted to a Saint of the Poor, Destitute and Misbegotten as I plan to make my cleric a leper (also reflects his low scores). Not finalised anything as I was waiting for your input before I got the cogs turning :)
Also just for story purposes, are we in the Mystara or Greyhawk setting or something else? Looking for similar clarification GM J - so I can nail down the basic backstory of my cleric.
***Reminder, you ARE allowed to reroll your entire character once if you are unhappy with it.***Never! :) Same - am actually looking forward to playing a sub-optimal character... A slow thinker with a face for radio lol. @GM J: Quick one, am constructing a background for my lunk of a cleric. Essentially he was an apprentice farrier who was kicked in the head by a ill-tempered warhorse (either Knight or Noble). Wondering if there are any NPCs that fit the bill or if you'd prefer us to keep things vanilla? As far as religion goes - have we free reign or is there a pantheon you want us to draw from. I'm thinking my cleric is from a monastic order reveres a Saint of the Misbegotten and Lost. Looking forward to this one - great group :)
Dotting for interest - some old faces and sparring partners piquing my halcyon creativity. CHA
Likely going with cleric, likely one afflicted or disfigured in some way to reflect his CHA and INT woes. Perhaps took an hack to the head... 90 Gold.
Safe sojourn chief and festive cheers when they come.
Work has continued to ramp up, likely be the weekend before I see any kind of respite. Apologies all, appreciate the collective patience.
Hey Ding just use my email address in my profile mate :)
Dotting for interest chief. I'm an old school SM player which was more Dunesque in its setting (never played the Privateers incarnation). Will have a look and see what pops.
Dotting for interest - never played PF2 but its Kingmaker :) Will be building one Pekk Carndelvyn - Gnome Rogue (and rebuild from a PF1 KM pitch): An honest thief, dandy-scoundrel and noted river-vagabond, Pekk is known to keep company both just and dubious. Scoundrel makes sense for Pekk and likely go Local Brigand background if nothing else more apt presents. Like Elfriede above, Pekk will be my first build in PF2 so I'd welcome any feedback and pointers.
The Sacred Bull has arrived :) Using Tamil as a stand-in for his Mesopotamian tongue (since its an ancient language in its own right). Not sure how much Gracie wants to role-play the meeting, but hoping to get his voice nicely in place before meeting the rest of you!
Afternoon Folks Am just about ready to pull the trigger on Bull of Heaven. Have drawn heavily from Mesopotamian mythology, Biblical references, Greek mythos and a liberal sprinkling of Harryhausen too. The Bull of Heaven is essentially a Celestial beastman and protector - think brass-plated Minotaur with angel's wings. Could of quick questions: @ST/All: What PL are we at? Still PL 10 I'm presuming. As a Celestial creature of antiquity he'll have past history with Medea, but keen to intertwine any other backgrounds etc.
Apologies gang - getting there with my "Bull of Heaven" concept - bunch of RL stuff came up and am only now getting refocussed. Will have final draft idea up o'er the weekend for ST (and everyone else's) delectation. Meantime here's my working maquette: Khalkotauroi the Bull of Heaven
Dotting for interest. Played RM 1E (via MERP) and dabbled in 2E back in the day. More familiar with the much maligned Space Master but this piqued my interest as this "RealmsMaster" sounds a great concept. Not sure what the RMSS differences are from the old school Eds but I'll do some research.
@ST: Am getting into the nitty gritty of my new character. Building on the primal force, wanted to also link it to the Bull of Heaven myth also. Like the notion of this primal monster being also divinely anointed somehow. Again above may have links to Cesarina?
I feel you - took me 2 weeks+ to get over C19. Never worse than a flu, but just felt like I'd repeatedly been hit by a truck.
Okay now this has my creative juices a flowing... Particularly if my hero was empowered with the primal force of the Carpathian Wisent (a subspecies of the European bison that inhabited the Carpathian Mountains, Moldavia and Transylvania)... Perhaps a primal spirit of the land activated to combat the rising threat of the vampyrs?
Are you built and ready to go? I can come up with something to get you in whenever. I have some thoughts. Is this a recently minted hero, or has he been at it for a while? Not built yet - WIP (have pulled a bunch of related builds from Echoes of the Multiverse etc as inspiration). Hoping to get him locked down over the coming days. Regards the status of the hero - not sure, could have potential in both a newbie or a veteran. Most interested on your thoughts chief.
Any way we could place the lad under a stasis like enchantment (a la Sleeping Beauty) that keeps him locked down until we can actively free him of the belt? Like Storm Dragon's idea tho' - very cool.
Okay have settled on my rejigged concept. Am drawing on the ancient cave paintings in Lascaux, France depicting various mega-fauna of the time. These drawings were discovered by 3 teenagers who entered the caves via a secret passage from the local Chateau. Once discovered they were studied by various academics and archeologists (including notable Catholic Priests). Am sticking with the scholar who gains magical superpowers (although his lore knowledge will have less overlap with Gracie than the original Prof had). The "Hall of the Bulls"in the Lascaux Cave grants him the power of the ancient Aurochs - essentially he'll be able to transform into a man-bull (might also link to The Devourer via Minotaur myth if ST wants to continue to run with it). Will be codenamed (unsurprisingly) Aurochs :) He'll still be a big brick, but more animalistic (bovine) and not a separate entity (as was Prof v Eoten). Think he'll be fun to play and fits the bill of the game. Am currently working on his build - taking inspiration from Marvel's Man-Bull, Bison & various incarnations of Minotaurs in M&M write ups. Not sure how you want to introduce the character ST?
Regretfully I'm not going to get the time to finish up my Shoanti Shaman so will politely withdraw and wish everyone a hootin' hollerin' time of it in the Olde West :)
@GM ST: Would like to reflavour this Irrisen Regional Trait if permitted: Bad Medicine: Category Region Requirement(s) Varisia (Cinderlands) Your sacred power over life and death causes fear in your enemies. Once per day as an immediate action when you cast a spell of the healing subschool or a hex that produces the effect of such a spell, you can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize your target or anyone who can see you within 30 feet. You gain a +2 trait bonus on this check.
Still working on my Shoanti Shaman - brewing up a mix of a Medicine Man meets Deep's version of Tonto. Am envisaging the Shoanti's embrace of blackpowder being a slow one. As such my Shaman will pack an axe or hammer (as a nod to Earthbreakers) musket rather than a rifle (appreciate this might put him at a disadvantage in gun-fights, but he'll have plenty of tricks up his buckskin sleeves). Regards world-building - in my mind's eye saw the HellKnights as sort of Ned Kellyesque in their get ups - trenchers and steel plating - as much for intimidation as protection.
Dotting for interest - can't resist pitching for an ST game :) Mulling a Shoanti Shaman (Speaker For The Past archetype) and member of the Skoan-Quah (The Skull Clan). @ST: My obligatory question regards Additional Traits feat - ye or nae?
Apologies all - feel a little responsible for the lack of direction given my floundering to find a true version of the Professor and Eoten that sat well with me. Enjoyed the game and the characters, but definitely felt that taking a step back last year I never really recovered in picking up the narrative and feel of the game again. Again my bad. Know ST delivers stellar games, this is a solid group of players but not sure what's went awry here, but as I said not been helped with my shilly-shallying :S
Hopeful Bump
Cheers BB, yer a star mate.
..as Lieutenant Angus would put in, shin-dig yes."[/b]
Hey There Could the following PBP Thread Starfinder: On Blade's Edge be shifted to Inactive please? I dropped out just before GM ghosted and its still showing as active campaign in my (and presumably the other players) Online Campaigns Cheers in advance BD
