Dolgan Powderbeard's page

A thunder calling battle herald... sweet.

initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Dolgan readies his musket, adding to Dred's point.

intimidate - aid another: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Dolgan will hide behind a barrel of beer because he's a bro. Plus, partial or total concealment, I guess.

Dolgan finishes cleaning his musket.

"Let's do this."

"So, they could come here with only two people, eh? What if they see the caravan? D'ya think they'll bring more?"

Egon's mood sours. He would like to ask more questions, but he can''t refuse an invitation from a lady, especially not one who is his host.

The change in his mood is not easy to miss

I rolled a 17. Therefore, it is.

"Come on, men, lighten up! There's alcohol in here!"

while he's speaking, Dolgan discreetly looks around at the town.

bluff check to hide what he's doing: 1d20 ⇒ 17
perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Dolgan gets out of the caravan wagon, heartened by the smell of food from the main hall.

"Aye, lass, we are the ones. But more importantly: what kinds of spirits do ye have?"

Ok. It wasn't on the original sheet, and it only just came to me when you said it IC. Thanks for the update.

Considering you had 25 GP left, and you can create 1 dose with 5 gp of materials, I've added 5 doses to your sheet

Actually, it's 1 GP in materials - bullets, pellets, and powder cost 1/10th their normal cost when made by the character.

I agree that the gunslinger rules are not perfectly clear about the requirements for creating gunpowder.

If you're going for details, you can put in your gear: x lbs of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate", I think.

Honestly, I think they just sorta rushed the gunsmithing rules in general. I mean, it doesn't even require a craft check!

”High Above Sir Egon, it is good to see House Orlovsky well represented in this endeavor”

“Delgath, may Erastil and Iomedae both bless our journey and help our people.”

”Well said Torin, it sounds like this endeavour could use some Dwarven pragmatism to tamper our ambitions.”

”That’s a fine looking companion, Aldarion.”

”Did the black stuff keep you in or out of the Battalion, Dolgan?”

Enora proceeds to introduce herself to the guards and review their station.

[dice=Profession (soldier)]1d20+4

"Out, m'lady, I'm sad ta say. My superiors didn't like it, ta put it mildly. They preferred crossbows - actually think they can peirce armor better than a gun!"

sorry for the late response! I only just saw your post!

Question. What exactly is Dolgan making black powder from? As I see no materials in his list

Ancient and mysterious magic.

*ooooooooo*

But you will notice that I listed '5 lbs of unfinished guns and scrap'. The gunpowder material comes out of that.

Dolgan hops onto one of the caravan wagons.

can't be scarin' the horse out from under me.

"Well then, we should get going, eh?"

"raised by gnomes" is the single greatest background aspect in the history of forever. This character will be so fun and eccentric.

Torin nods a hello, "Torin of Brunderton at your service. Whatever our reasons, it seems that we will be travelling companion for this endeavour and I hope for our success."

Turning to Dred, "Thank you for your blessing. It will be good to have the Inheritor keeping a watchful eye upon us."

"Ah, yes! Always nice to have a Monk as a companion, and the blessings of one of the many gods on this blue world."

Dolgan laughs as he says this. He wiggles his finger through the hole in his pocket.

"Ohoho! Seems I'll need to invest in some cartridges. Can't have this happening again."

A small-ish Dwarf with unkempt and singed red hair walks up.

"'Lo! I'm Dolgan Powderbeard, formerly of the 6th Battalion of Stonebastion."

He seems totally unfazed when some leftover Black Powder blasts a hole in his pocket with a loud noise, destroying his charter in the process.

He holds out his hand in greetings, a crazed twinkle in his eye.

Dolgan spends time creating black powder while he waits.

I would like to nominate myself for the position of Marshal. I'm also changing my alignment to NG.

Dolgan Powderbeard, present and ready!

dot

*fingercrossies*
this is going to be so cool!

Gunpowder GOOOOOOOO *musket explodes and sends Dolgan flying off into an adventure*

Lawful Good may be best, since Egon will have the highest Leadership score, so he will probably be ruler.

Oh, hai! I thought you joined that semi-homebrew campaign. Glad to meetcha.

Bro, I'm chaotic good, but leaning very much toward NG. Can we go with Neutral Good?
Also, I think Dred joined a different campaign. Look on his profile page.

Good luck, everyone!

"Aldarion, at your service."

Whew, just spotted this, sorry to keep you all waiting a day. I am ready to play.

Regarding an arcane caster, I am certainly open to the possibility of dabbling in some wizardry (Int 14), should the story provide an opportunity for me to learn. Aldarion, you will find, is a bit intellectual for a druid anyway. Perhaps even a little Mystic Theurge in time, though my primary focus will remain on druidry.

Regarding healing, my +11 to Heal checks (or +13 to treat disease and poison) should prove very handy in the wilderness. I also like to prep goodberry here and there for a little magical healing. And I can always prep cure light wounds as needed. So Aldarion should prove a very decent secondary healer.

Feel free to add arcane or healing capabilities as you like, however. The more flexibility, the merrier, I say.

I could easily become a wizard as well, but I think my character will focus on gunsmithing instead.

Healing wont be an issue once we can grab a wand of CLW and I think Aldarion is a druid, so that will also help in a pinch.

Besides, with a gunslinger, zen archer monk and divine hunter paladin most enemies wont even have the chance to get into melee range.

I intend to get into theirs, and with a +4 int mod I might well do it before the barrage begins. I'll delay if needed, to prevent penalties from shooting into melee.

Do that - you could also potentially use thrown weapons instead of going into melee.

Or Life Oracle to Holy Vindicator. Good advice, anyway.

I think you'll be getting a second animal companion if you go Life Oracle, though :/

We'll have to see if we can get a cohort capable of arcane magic if we need it. As for the typically arcane skills, I think we can come to an agreement who will invest in what.

Keeping five people healthy is a lot of work for one paladin, so my next level will be cleric. Might be an Evangelist, as I'm not that impressed by Channel Energy.

I can take a rank in heal. You won't help anyone if you're a cleric with 10 wis - consider taking Bard, possibly Arcane Duelist, then multiclassing into the PrC that progresses Bard and Cavalier abilities (the 'Battle Herald').

Checking in! Oh, another Dwarf! Hi, I was raised by gnomes!

*waves*

Also I guess I also fill the 'archer' role. Gunslinger, after all. Though I can easily be a front liner as well. Also, I'm planning to take the Master Craftsman feat.

Wait, Kat! Paizo ate my profile like 5 times before I got it up!
