Yep still down whenever you are.

Just keeping us up there

Good luck man.

So I'm done with the fine tuning, locked, loaded and ready to go.

Y'know Amber, looking at both our Dex, Cha and abysmal Wisdom scores, we've got the makings of a psychotic Bonnie and Clyde.

On a side note, ever seen The Musketeer, it's a terrible movie but the action sequences and fighting style remind me of you.

I will be your conscience. :D

Perfect! Because Garrison is all about shoot first, second and third, then if anyone's left, ask a question.

Those of you who are not aware: Corvis (otherwise known as the City of Ghosts) is built alot like Venice in that there are no real streets, only waterways plied by a gondoleer's guild to get from place to place. There aren't a lot of railings or anything of the like to prevent someone from taking a plunge, either, and while there are plenty of stairs and ladders leading up out of the waters in the event of an accident like that... you may not want to entirely ignore your Swim skill, especially those of you in heavier armors. :)

Yay! Go Profession(sailor)!

You're just mad we're all Tordoran because we all got swimming bonuses! :D

I wish there was a human albino appropriate pic that didn't make her look like she wanted to stab you in the guts. Talia's really not that angry.

So do what I did. I picked the best avatar I could find, then linked to a deviantart pic that best describes the character.

In passing, I have come to realise that I can not, in good faith, shoot any one for less than 40 Gp per shot/person.

*tuts to self* Hmmm, descisions, descisions......

*Goes about checking their rapier and daggers*

I myself have noticed the significant cost involved in gun ammunition - I only have 30 bullets! But, as my character would rather (1)Talk, (2)Reason or (3)Run her way out of bad situations, and all her weapons are hidden to help facilitate these other actions, it works out for me pretty well.

Fatespinner, as I have little real knowledge of the setting, even with the player's guide, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel the story or setting need me to make.

I know, it would actually be more cost effective to shoot gold coins at people.

Trigger finger's itchin', let's do this.

Just some last minute gear and I'm done

So, another question; The starting packages for the three different Gun Mages you have described, oh illustrious DM, these too supplant the 'generic' Gun Mage starting abilities/feats?

Yes. The items I mentioned in my post are all-inclusive. That post entirely replaces the standard IK Gun Mage. Also, you begin with a magelock pistol for free.

Amber Di' Glaeys wrote:

Now, about the Witch's ability to brew potions. I'm assuming that the spells a Witch knows can be 'potion-ized'? Hence making 'half cost' healing potions is an option?

Yes, but remember what I said about the witch's healing spells. They will be treated as 1 level higher and will function as the 'vigor' spells rather than 'cure' spells since they are arcane. Thus, as a 1st level witch, you won't actually HAVE any healing spells... yet.

Wait the magelock pistol is free? Ok so I'm not as broke as I thought.

And Amber, if you need cash there's always the rich parents trait. It seems to fit with your background anyway.

*raises eyebrow*

Um,Garrison Wyngarde, it's not like I intend to just start randomly eating babies or throwing random people into a big iron cauldron or what have you.....and ginger bread houses are right out.

I am hoping the crossing of the Oucast gun Mage and the Witch will give me a 'rounded' character that can aact in support of the perty. Not a front line gunslinger or tank.

Some who can help share the burden of supplying healing potions to those in need....

*cough* Yes, Amber will be able to shoot people as well. :P

I certainly wont be advertising the Witch side of things...hence the disguise and subterfuge skills etc.

Hope that dispells some of the 'myths' about what i may be trying to do? :)

Cheers!

Well as long as there's no baby eating..

Sorry to be a bother and a sticky-beak, but does one get all the fstarting feats listed with the racial notes?

For example, for Ryn it lists:

Starting Bonus Feats: Combat Expertise, Improved Initiative, Quick Draw, Weapon Finesse.
Ability Scores: +2 any stat, +2 CHA, -2 WIS
Automatic Class Skill: Diplomacy
Racial Skill Bonuses: +2 Bluff, +2 Sense Motive
Automatic Languages: Cygnaran (spoken), Llaelese
Bonus Languages: Caspian, Cygnaran (written), Khadoran, Rhulic (spoken), Shyr (spoken, requires 2 ranks to learn)

A player picks/chooses just one of those as their starting bonus human feats, do they not?

Sorry for my confusion, hope things are going well with every one.

*curtsies*

Okay... that's... certainly an odd combination of classes. Any particular reason why you want this specific combination? The witch is still an arcane casting class and doesn't really accomplish anything the alchemist isn't already capable of. The different Orders of gun mages are different enough as to provide pretty shockingly dissimilar concepts, particularly with the Tempest on one end of the spectrum and the Rose on the other. I don't think you'd be stepping on anybody's toes if you went full gun mage... and I don't think you'd be losing out on anything significant by not multiclassing with witch.

If you're looking for the "occultist outcast" type, the Orphan gun mage certainly accomplishes that as well. Naturally, if you still want to pursue your original combination, you may do so. I'm just providing some advice that might make the character a little more functional.

Sorry, I meant the Ryn background, I.E. from llael and the oucast Gun Mage class. I do apologize for any confusion.

Um, nope, no real reason. it just popped into my head as to be something interesting to try. This grim, outcast Gun slinger with a dark past, kind of thing. I am working through the Oucast Gun Mage and Whitch atm. So I shall be working at trying to combine the...

Y'know the more I look at the attitude towards unregisterd magic use and the supernatural, the trickier it looks for a witch to work in the setting. Any law enforcement agents, many clerics of morrow etc, would be inclined to either turn you in or kill you on sight. Unless you came up with a pretty spectacular reason, the party would be inclined to let the authorities have you rather that accept outcast status for harboring a witch.

Just my 2 cents but it sounds like the concept you're going for would work just as well with an outcast gunmage, and fit into the setting far better.

Interesting to try is cool, game derailing not so much.

I'd be fine with another Gun Mage.

Background, spells and equipment are up.

Ooops sorry meant Combat Loading. I'll work on the background soon.

I also note that your Stealth skill seems to be off. It's not in-class for Tempest gun mages, so your bonus should be +5 (2 ranks + 3 DEX). I'm guessing this might've been a holdover from when you were considering an Orphan gun mage (which DOES get Stealth)? Perception looks off, too. Should be 2 ranks + 3 trained - 1 WIS = +4.

The +2 is due to the Alertness feature of the bonden magelock pistol link. Or are you not using that chart. And yeah the stealth was from orphan, I'll fix that.

Here's what I've got so far, still need to make purchases and pick spells.

I just noticed an issue with one of your feats. "Quick Loading" is not a feat that I'm aware of. Did you mean for that to be Combat Loading or Rapid Reload? Combat Loading is on your Order feat list, but Rapid Reload is not.

Also, I noticed your character is Rynnish. There's nothing wrong with that, but the Rynnish come from Llael and thus it is somewhat unusual that you studied with the Arcane Tempest instead of the Amethyst Rose. You may want to consider the reasons for your character's atypical situation. Perhaps your family just happened to be Cygnaran Ryn and have been Cygnaran for generations. Your family could've also been refugees from the Khadoran occupation, or maybe your character saw one of the Arcane Tempest in action when the Cygnaran military attempted to aid the Llaelese forces in repelling the Khadorans and was inspired. It's up to you.
