They mostly look human because it is us humans (here on earth) who are viewing them?

More Syrinx!

Please and thank you.


Survey technician, primarily for the energy sector, but well-versed in civil survey and construction layout as well. Typically travel around the country following the pipeline paychecks.


I want more than just the Five King's. I want the Skycitadels and their Holdings. One chapter per skycitadel, another for other important holdings, and a last for items or character options or something.


There were at least two giant empires, serpentfolk, the dwarves of Janderhoff, possibly elves depending on how big the Miereni (sp?) forest was pre-earthfall.

I think one of Taldor's Armies of Exploration discovered Varisia before Korvosa was settled.

That's all I can think of. May be wrong on some of it. But that's what comes to mind.


My Homebrew Solution to NPC level demographics:
For this reason I use a concept of older souls who have been through the cycle more times can gain more levels in life. So your average Joe's can only hit level 5 or 6, pretty much no matter what they do, some older ones cap out around 12, and then your 'bodhisattva'type souls are truly destined for greatness, and can hit 20.
Pc's are always able to advance as far as they want, and it doesn't stop me from making higher level foes when appropriate, but it gives me a base-line to work off of for general mooks and common folk, as well as leader types.
Ties it into the metaphysical-river of souls lore too. And is all just back-end stuff in my head that the players never even see.


Touch attack on the target square (AC 10) using casting modifier to the attack roll. May be a slight issue for low-level casters, but by 3rd or 4th level it won't be an issue at all.

You can accurately estimate a distance without seeing the floor. I don't think this is an issue. Especially when casting spells requires concentration and knowledge anyway.
not really, you dont need to concentrate if the enemy is not hitting you or you are not in a bad weather condition. also, if you think you can estimate distances by just a few inches of difference with the real distance, please, be my guest and just try it in a street of your city

Some people can do this fairly well. Speaking as a surveyor, I am pretty good at judging distance. And for me its just fun and games to see how good I am. If my occupation, life, or lives of my friends depended on me doing it regularly, I bet I would be a lot better at it.

It is an ability we don't use often in our modern world, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible, or even relatively feasible.

A lot of hunters I know are just as good at judging distance, if not better.

Hey man, just drop it ok. JJ came on and answered the question. All else is irrelevant, unless you wish to discuss home rules or home brew.


I have to agree with the folks who say you don't have to have the PrC to be a Hellknight.

It serves no purpose to limit a group that was primarily built as antagonists to having to all be cookie-cuttered out of the same prestige class.

But, basically, the GM can do what he wills. The players must abide, or find a new GM.

Or he is lying low, letting them think they gave him what for, while he quietly laughs "JUST AS PLANNED!"...

Perhaps.

Spoiler:
I don't believe the Scarnetti belong to the Sczarni. The Scarnetti's are a Chelish descended family, while the Sczarni are Varisian. Furthermore, I think it was a Scarnetti ancestor that killed a bunch of Varisian during a peaceful talk about mutual habitation of the area.

I don't have any of my books with me, still out for the holidays, but this is how I remember it at least.

Anyone, feel free to correct me.


As a surveyor, I find this to be awesome. Now we just need the rest of the globe, haha.


In reply to Latrecis' post:

Spoiler:
The elven wizard or dwarf cleric could still fill the role of primary suspect, particularly if either could be viewed as jealous of the PC's blossoming relationship with Shayliss.

Same as with Aldern, as Latrecis already stated.


I don't believe that is a valid link. I have tried to copy/paste this into my browser, and it doesn't do anything...

They do! Check out Brock Samson from the Venture Brothers.

MMCJawa: That's kind of based though on our own technological trends. I don't necessarily see a problem with a society more advanced than us building tech to last.

Especially considering a culture that is advanced enough to have interstellar, worm-hole using technology, they could have easily had terraformimg and atmospheric-controlling technologies as well, which would almost definitely be built to survive time and circumstance.

I believe he wants a wolf mount that he can ride at lower levels. I redlined a horse for just such a purpose once, taking away its natural attacks (hoof & bite) and replaced them with a large wolf's bite (i believe 1d8+1.5x STR)


And ze turtle people?

Mix one part field laborer, two parts wet dog, a smidgen of sour milk, and one part smelly hobo. Stir well, heat at 365 for one hour, and voila, your very own Ulfen stench!

4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 5) = 214d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 5) = 194d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6) = 114d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 6) = 124d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 3) = 134d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 5) = 134d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 6) = 134d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 6) = 16


Dank Grimwolf is a Kellid barbarian who left his home to search for his sister, who was abducted by Ulfen raiders during an attack on his tribe. He originally had several companions with him, but they have all fallen, whether in battle or to accident or illness, leaving only him to continue the search. He lost their trail long ago, and for the past year has been wandering aimlessly.
He strongly dislikes Ulfen people.

I'll need to rework his abilities and traits, possibly a few other minor changes to his stats, and rework his background a little bit. Originally made him for a Second Darkness game that died out.

I've skimmed through the books, but haven't ever gotten to play or GM them, and would love the chance.


I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, everything is magnetic to some degree. The problem is getting all of your atomic poles arranged in the same direction. I seem to remember seeing something about them polarizing a frog once, and making it levitate with a magnet.
Or I may just be nuts and delusional.

I am interested in pledging for the P20 Modern, but won't have money at hand until sometime in May. I noticed on your sight that the pledge period ends on April 30th, and you only have around 11% of the funds you need. Does this mean I am S.O.o.L., or what?
What happens if May roles arund and you don't have the amount you need? Is the project just going to die out on the burner, or be delayed until you get enough funding, or what?

Curious and wanting to pledge, but not drawing paychecks again until May.


Its not a body slam, but try and watch some footage of Cung Le. He was the K-1 champion for a bit, I think. I remember watching him in one match where he used a belly-to-back suplex on his opponent several times in the match. Ref had to call it when the other guy couldn't stand up straight after the fourth or fifth one.
You don't see it often, but wrestling techniques can be very dangerous.

On the other hand, 'professional wrestling' is a soap opera with badly choreographed fights. I used to atch a lot, and have two friends who can usually predict a match move for move on a live broadcast.


Cast ghost sound and mage hand on a barbarian's loincloth to make it shake and growl.

Next stop, a naked raging barbarian axing a small piece of animal hide.


Most of my friends smoke, and the majority of them are very productive. One of them earned three degrees in five years at college. Another is a chemistry and polymer science graduate. Roughly half of my potheaded friends smoke cigarettes, the others don't ever touch them. Now I'm not saying I don't know any smokers who are a waste of space and resources, but many of them were just as big of a waste before they started smoking.

I myself used to smoke, but had to stop once I got a real job, as the risk of losing my job far outways the benefits of smoking. Unfortunately, this means I rarely sleep well, and sometimes go a day or two without eating, but that is the price I pay for being a member of society.

The real issue in my mind would be a better way to see if someone is intoxicated at that moment or not. Say someone comes into work that smokes, and there is an accident. If you are intoxicated, then you would not be eligible for workman's comp. But maybe you smoked a week ago at a friend's birthday or something, and it is still in your system. Should you still be disqualified from workman's compensation?
Same issue arises with DUI's.


Go Saints!!

Dank just sits there, enjoying his frosty beverage and watching the people in the room.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

"I stay here until I find.. yellowbeards who fly blue... flag.. with red eagle holding... a broken sword. You know them?" he says to Saul.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

Dank raises his mug in a silent toast to the people mentioned, and drains the rest from it, setting it down and looking for another.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

Hearing Mordecai's offer and then his scathing, and to Dank, quite confusing, long denial of wanting anything of his, he sits there for a few breaths, pondering Mordecai's words. He then shrugs, and chooses to ignore the acerbic remark, since he isn't sure he understood it anyway.

"Opening? You mean..job? What I do.. for job? What do job pay?" he asks. Then quickly follows with another question. "And.. I told you my name. What you.. peoples' names?"


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

"Where's a..little man going?" Dank says, watching as Mel walks out of the Gold Goblin. When he turns back to his tankard, he sees Mordecai directing the tokens through the air, and hastily snatches his back up from the table in front of him, glaring at Mordecai suspiciously.
"Better not do that to my.. uh. stuff!" he barks.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

"Uhh..yeah. You give and I take." Dank says with a friendly smile on his face.
"I am Dank. I came, from my, people's, land. Looking, for my mother's daughter..err..sister. Yellow-beards take her. Followed them here. They have,uhh, flag. Red hawk on, blue cloth. Broken sword in mouth, uh, beak. You know them?"
His speach begins freindly enough, but by the end his voice has taken on a rather determined and inquisitorial tone, and he looks around at everyone, trying to determine if any of them might recognize the description of the Ulfens' flag.

Sense Motive (1d20+1=21)
Really didn't expect much out of that roll, IC must like me today.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

"Hrrm...I will be glad to take your drinks and food." Dank replies, seeming to feel each word out as he speaks it, as if he is not quite used to speaking this language. Spotting the crossbow on the ground, he surreptitiously glances around before quickly picking it up and sticking it in his belt, and then follows the black-clothed man into the gambling hall, looking uncertainly at the silver tooth-shaped token he recieved before the scuffle broke out.


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

Come on Scriptak! I need someone with some brains to counter my brawn!


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

With hardly a glance towards the man in front of him, The large Kellid steps past him (he's not worried anout the thug's attack of opportunity at the moment), towards the man who seems to be in charge of the robbery, drawing his axe as he does so. With a mighty roar to gather the man's attention, he lifts his axe high over his head, and brings it down in a mighty vertical chop.

Initiative; GreatAxe w/ Overhand Chop; Damage - on thug with crossbow. (1d20+1=15, 1d20+5=11, 1d12+8=13)

I am going to go ahead and action point that attack roll as well.
Action point to attack roll. (1d6=4) Makes the attack roll a 15 (11 + 4), a bit better. Don't want Dank missing on his first swing after all!


Male Human (Kellid) Barbarian 1st (Favored Class)

Should i speak Hallit and Taldane, or just one of them?

Here is Dank Grimwolf, complete with backstory, grudges, and a reason for being in Riddleport. If I need to make any adjustments, just let me know.

The Kellids are not so fair-skinned, I believe. They tend to have duskier-toned skin and dark hair. Think Conan (from the original stories, or the Frank Frazetta Arnold S.). Of course yours could look as you described, but your 'average' Kellid doesn't.
