Amusingly enough I prefer 5e over prior editions/pathfinder. But I play more 2e than any other edition.
Excuse my poor songwriting, more rap battle than epic prose I'm afraid.
Fiordelise swings her sword at the mist, though expects little result while responding in kind: You are a relic of times long past;
Fiordelise am I, not your lost Fiametta,
Burn me if you will, let the others go free.
OOC: Just in case
Updated Lhienne Radavel, if you want to take a browse and check the background against yours, happy to shuffle around to fit yours better if you have an suggestions.
Vynisia smiles at Raina's transformation. "Trying to make me feel more at home, druid?"
Hello there.
Vynisia laughs, "Entrepreneurs, you pick on the weak and lack imagination." she mocks as she sprays acid once again
We don't celebrate the departure of the colonies, so I'm on business as usual.
Does sarcasm count as a joke?
Better everyone saying everything I wanted to than the game dying because no-ones posting.
'Phix takes a moment to process... Doombringer, flamer, mines, fortifications. Priority?
Krissina continues to ply her blade against the assailants, though acknowledges her role in the line is more to prevent Rakish getting surrounded than any real effectiveness in damaging her opponent.
"Well, either that, or none of our respective contacts trusted the others to send enough, if only everyone would trust each other a little more." Krissina smiles, "I'm afraid you're all new faces to me, but I'm always willing to find more friends. Perhaps, if we get some free time you can tell me of your prior adventures, and I can document them for future generations to study and learn from." The idea that would-be adventurers would likely not read books to learn their skills is a concept that hasn't occurred to Krissina.
Goblinoid:
"Great War Leader !Ko, lead us to glory and victory!" the goblins start to cheer. The goblins start to cheer gleefully in their gibbering tongue. They seem impressed by !Ko, however they are also making a lot of noise and you're not sure how far away other members of the tribe are.
"You ever dream of me that way and I'll bloody your nose before you wake up".
By the way I'd just like to post that I love the little details of this game, keeps my imagination flowing of what other imaginative ways ne-er do wells will think of to use dead elen's bodies.
Despite being off-work for school holidays I seem to have less time to keep up with online games. I'm not ignoring your post, I will fill out more background events as time permits.
I was presuming this, just added item 1 in case I'd completely missed a reference somewhere (I'm no scholar on the history of D&D worlds). Just theorycrafting really, I don't expect definitive answers, but even if I only end up reskinning a generic magic item to have a goblinoid heritage it gives your backstory out of the background.
I'm a 5e convert, and I'd like to give the reasons why... Pathfinder requires planning. I prefer my characters to grow organically and it doesn't feel like you can do this in Pathfinder. All the interesting feats come as part of chian. It feels like you either have to plan for the expected level in a campaign ahead of time, or suffer with less power. Pathfinder has too many options, this is a non-argument for many people, but during chargen I stricken with ridiculous analasys paralasis, constantly thinking that there should be a perfect feat somewhere if only it had a logical name... Not to mention Archetypes (why did you not learn from the mess of AD&D2's kits) or massive number of classes. I know some people like this sort of thing, but it feels like Magic the Gathering, where more than half of the game is building. In D&D 5, it feels liberating, a couple of pages of feats, which feel fare more meaty than PF/3/.5 and don't get stricken with prerequisites. You can make characters fit what you want to in most cases that I've tried. Perhaps its because I'm getting older, I used to love scouring Dragon or the complete handbooks for new character options, but now I just want to actually play the game. Also I'd like to say that it strikes a middle ground, I don't actually like rules-lite systems either, I've tried FATE, Savage Worlds, a few OSRs, I still play AD&D2 as some of my players prefer it, and a fair few others, but most of them just don't feel like they have the meat on their bones. I'm not going to dismiss people that like other things, and I love reading new rulesets and even just creating characters in multiple systems to see how they feel different, but I can't gather much enthusiasm for creating characters in PF any more.
For reference the basic system is you roll 2d20 and each result under your
e.g. Sigrid tries to seduce the guard, the GM decides that he's not particularly loyal so is only D1, her Persuade expertise & focus is 3, plus her 12 Personality , so it's pass, and if I'd rolled 1 less I would have had 2 successes and could have either saved or spent a momentum. The online character creation tool posted up earlier is quite good, and you can get a fair idea of what you can do without knowing the mechanics behind it. I created mine manually then used the tool to "check my work". One thing that is worth noting is that each skill has a talent tree, when creating a character you may only see the initial option, but most skills have one initial option, then 2-3 branches to go down. Only thing I'm not sure about is that it seems to have given me Alchemist and Healer's kits... can't find anywhere in the book that tells me I should have them, though I might have missed it.
Simile drops down to one knee, her arm across her chest. In a gesture of subserviance.
"Same might be said of my ancestors, but someone obviously had fun with it. If we can't reason with it, we'll find a way to defeat it." Krissina is partly trying to reassure the madman, and is partly just optimistic, plus she's still not convinced that an actual dracolich is involved.
Sorry, should be updated now.
Getting creative and trying to use perform, if not should work as a bluff check at least.
"I will lend my skills to the task, and I'm sure that we don't need to elect a formal leader, I would trust Pavel to guide us through the woods as I would trust Corson to look after us in a fight."
I actually already have one of these, but I can start a collection, my uncle had a collection of glass bottles."
Sorry, didn't phrase that right, what I meant is that if I'm writing something from scratch and have no preconceived plans I wanted to check if we're all happy to continue with the concept as is, or if you were going along with it because it was what was available. Isn't Black 13th the Gunmage Black-Ops team?
As a suggestion, can we put our location as a heading on our posts, it's probably just because I'm getting old and slow, but apart from the orks who I know are on the other ship I keep having to double check who's on which ship.
Lys tries to avoid fighting, as a rule, and she certainly doesn't want to strike first. However she's not going to let these creatures hit the one person who seems to know what's going on. With a sigh she steps up a draws her sword, adopting what one can only assume is a fighting stance.
"I'm not an erm Shuck Ninja, but I have no way of contacting you from afar."
Hmm, Illuminated Arcanist/Investigator, Arthur Ladrian.
Hmmm,
277gp on Mundane Gear. Training in Athletics (250) Magic requires a bit more thought, at 500gp each for rare items, it is easy enough to get one or two. I have little idea what to expect of this adventure... so some ideas...
Well, I've gone and created a profile now, couldn't just have Lys, so thought I'd spin it out a little, I'm just a Lys, the a isn't significant.
My tastes in music are either varied, not non-existent, in that I'll listen to pretty much anything. Last artists I went to see were, Amanda Palmer, Iron Maiden and Divine Comedy - though with a child with special needs it's hard to get away very often.
Hmmm, still can't make the thievery sound quite right, but I've added the required reference in there.
"Certainly Sirs, it would be a pleasure to accompany you. Do feel free to take cover behind my delicate bodywork should we come under attack again."
Fleur is momentarily lost for words. She has heard plenty of derogatory comments before - but this... this... girl.
Hello all,
Not guaranteeing that it will be completed, but I'd like to give it a shot, looking for five Adventurers to take on the task of seeing if it can be done, and how different (or not) it feels run through the lens of another system. Notes:
Attributes will be points buy or standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8), points buy to max 15 as per core rules (racial modifiers apply afterwards as usual). A few additional backgrounds will be in the campaign info tab (hopefully), most replicating + expanding campaign traits that where different enough to standard backgrounds I would prefer if you did Equipment via the packages, though I'll be flexible for you to swap things out for a better background fit. I will not be using XP, you will be levelled at appropriate points, which may or may not coincide with the recommendations from the RotRAE, depending on if you seem to be struggling/steamrolling. I hope to be starting this after the easter weekend, so probably 7th or 8th of April. I will prioritise character choices based mostly on background stories well-integrated into the area (download the players guide for an amount of background info if you're not already familiar), with "party balance" being a tie-breaker. Will prefer 1 post per day, but I'm not a taskmaster, in combat I will GMPC if it's been 24 hours since your last post and your turn is up, feel free to add basic combat tactics to your characters profile if you would like. NB: Initiative will be pre-rolled and then grouped ready for you. Any questions/interest?
The veil is a fine silk gossamer cloth, on closer inspection it appears to have difficult to see patches which seem like they can be removed.
