@ Jereru & Elf King: Your sound effects are commendable :P @ Yolollama & Jereru: The only banned Paizo material is the Advanced Class Guide(i.e. Hybrid Classes and their spawn) and Occult jazz with the exception of feats and such that do not deal with the banned classes/archetypes. Technology is also kind of super rare, even in adventure paths that have it, so no starting with tech, it will make an appearance later though. The intro will have a list of the limits here. @ sable: All Golarion-based deities are in play, Tian-Xia may be visited at some point but is not gonna be a huge part of things. The alignments I'll have listed are pretty fair. Also, a certain missing god will play a heavy role in the campaign... though initially worshipping him is futile since in the era you guys are he is very much gone. @ ThePuppyTurtle: The campaign is an homage to my favorite figure in the Golarion-verse and his relatives. It's also a blatant attempt to point out the ridiculous fertility of humans. They can breed with like anyone or anything, seriously, it's kinda gross, lol. Mostly, however, it's the goal of the campaign that makes human-oriented races important. We can always work on a kind of 'polymorph experiment gone awry' *POOF!* once a human, now a ratfolk! Would be an easy finagling of racials and such, I'm pretty easy going when you're creative so I think we can work something out. @ Alynthar42: The reason I'm including a gestalt option in the creation rules is for beefy hp pools for everyone and reasonable feat/ability options that don't taper each member's role into just one corner(i.e. no pure tanks, dps, or healers will exist, hint-hint-wink-wink, everybody). If you find perusing the archetypes for 'gestalt jenga' to be irritating you can always just go for a basic fighter for you melee half. Has damn good feats, bab, and hp, which is the goal. So, I basically passed out right after I got home and been sleeping all day ::cough:: so, back to the intro, it'll be up soon. I'll also list all the dibs so far there as well but once you all see the build rules a tricked out alias would be appreciated. Thanks for keeping interest :D
Any material associated with the allowable classes is fair game. Working on setting up the recruitment thread. Anyone in this thread who is genuinely interested gets first dibs, no joke. I'm considering 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 3 dps(ah, mmo lingo). At least one caster dps and one rogue dps will probably be optimal. One of the tank slots is TheIronGiant6's if he still wants it. If I am feeling particularly good about it I may split the campaign into two threads with two groups running through the same campaign simultaneously. It would be two parties of 5-7 each if such a feat were to happen, but baby steps for now. First I gotta see if you all like the goods before we dive into multi-group mayhem. I'll try to get the character creation jazz up before I crash but I'm running on fumes after a week of killer overtime so I may be drowning my keyboard in drool before I'm through.
@ThePuppyTurtle: Hmmm, would you be opposed to a Wererat Skinwalker? Could tweek stats for you if you want something more ratfolky? To lead for stats: 30pt buy(calling it Legendary Fantasy, lol) with 1st level scores no higher than than 18 or lower than 10, all core classes, apg classes, plus gunslinger and magus. No archetypes using mechanics outside those limits. Considering a special form of gestalt requiring half of each gestalt to be melee-oriented for some muscles. I have some guidelines for gear so don't go nuts with slapping on armor just yet. I'll be starting a thread with my GM archetype: GM Miskatonic, in the next 48hrs and posting the finer details of character creation and the setting.
Alrighty then, folks, I'm cooking something up. Doing starting info and then I'll generate the intro. Just a heads up, this is gonna be a Human-centric campaign due to the initial direction. All races will be human-related, the mutts of tabletop lol, and I even have a male Changeling statted up: the Witcher, delicious. It will start at 9th level, as requested, so you will all have 1 level to cohere before I rev up the meat grinder :: Cackles Maniacally::. Any requests as I get back to building? Classes and the like.
Hmm, how bout a Human or Aasimar Warrior of the Holy Light with an Oath Against Chaos. His past is largely a mystery but he feels supernaturally compelled to banish evil wherever it might be found. He was found naked and unconscious in a shallow crater shortly after a particularly bizarre and violent storm near Absalom. All he remembers is his name, Gerrard Capashen, and that he was dead but now somehow isn't. The aggressive and militaristic bent of Iomedae's church drew him in and ignited a power to generate incredible blasts of light that harmed evil creatures. After a long regimen of combat training, Gerrard became aware of his innate talent for bladework and requested a stipend to travel to the Worldwound to bring the battle to the enemy.
Interested in playing. I could GM a PbP but I'd need some time to throw some jazz together, make a frankenventure so to speak. Fair warning: I don't do maps(prefer we all use our imagination ::See Spongebob for more details::), I like beefy PCs so I can make life/death interesting, and I don't do PC murder-sprees til after 10th level to give the party time to cohere before ancient wyrms and undead armies begin running amok.
Wow, very intriguing. I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring. I have a campaign setting with an entire back story, new races, like 9 huge continents, low to high tech, biological warfare, wild to high magic areas, null magic areas. Let's see, humans, dragons, and all knowns races are dead, gone, or have evolved/mutated into new forms. There are unique gods, mostly racial in orientation with a few linked to Golarion deities. It's a work in progress but has quite a bit done, maps and such. Did I mention humans are like ancient bogeymen? Some fun stuff.
Alrighty, good stuff! :D. Seriously, this is refreshing. I'll provide you with the appropriate material via Google drive if you want, but I'll be throwing together a Machinesmith/Transmechanical Ascendant. He'll be very combat oriented using two complimentary archetypes. This toon is my brain child so I hope you like him when I'm finished :) |
