Gatekeeper Io's page

Is everything okay with my character? I can make modifications if need be.

I present to you Gatekeeper Io, (A recycled Alias but the name fits just fine). I'm working on writing up a backstory now so he fits well in the group but here's the key points of his build:

1. He does ranged damage via kinetic blasts.
2. He does healing via Kinetic Healer, healing damage equal to his blast, and he has a literal fistful of wands he's collected.
3. He can do some skills at range via his telekinesis talents, and do combat maneuvers at range.
4. He has a freaking ton of hit points, which is good because some of his abilities do nonlethal damage to himself.

I will be bowing out. Thank you.

Seems the DM has checked out?

... Hello?

It is much like that in the astral plane Io agrees, but doesn't elaborate.

I believe his name is Tildea. Io answers to everyone but the cat. He has memories of being called it before, and no language I know of uses Tildea as a discriptor.

Just to the cat, Io thinks Hello, Tildea. I know you're capable of reason, as you have understood my request. Are you looking for companionship and food for a day, or maybe you want something greater?

Perhaps it already has a name? Gatekeeper Io says to Kawa. It doesn't feel threatened by us, so it must be used to people... of some sort, all things considered.

The gatekeeper focuses on the 'cat'. What is your name, little one? he directly asks it.

For our new player, I do not have a mouth, nor do I eyes (or any other orifices since I seem to be a naked man made out of darkness and glimmering stars). I speak with others telepathically.

Io tilts his head towards the cat, reaching out with his mind. On some level, the cat seems to want something, and he is curious if he could communicate with such a canny animal.

Casting Detect Thoughts

My regimen of daily exercises is for both monk and psychic, I center my mind through meditation and body motion

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Good point Coyote! I wouldn't have gone to sleep after I'm up for my watch anyways. Instead, once others start waking up I start into my morning exercise routine.

Once back at camp and before we settle down to sleep, Gatekeeper Io will use Mindlink to share 10 Minutes of what his sensory experiences are like with Kawa, since she asked about it before. It's an instant transmission, and so she experiences the 10 minutes immediately and can recall them as if she experienced them herself.

It seems we will wait till morning? Haven't heard from any of the other players though.

I was asking specifically because we'd walk back to camp, and ask if anyone wants to come with us to track down the trail

Did anyone want to come with us and investigate the trail?

Reporting back now would be the prudent decision. Then, we can search further if that is the group's chosen course of action. The gatekeeper replies.

It is possible to share some of my senses, if you desire to experience more. Io offers as they follow the tracks.

It can be... Intense... If you are unprepared for the experience.

Kawa drops to her knees near the end of the trail. She didn't know much at all about tracking and the like, but what she could do was look for anything incriminating apart from the tracks, She searched the area from a worm's eye view.

If you don't mind my asking, Io, what are you, er... 'seeing', right now? I'm curious.

Much the same as you, I would suspect. Except from what I've been told you see something called 'color'. Io responds, his mental tone amused.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

This is some kind of footprint, though I know not what kind of being it belongs to. Io responds after looking the footprints over.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

They go that way, though The Gatekeeper responds, mentally projecting the complex thought of direction into her head.[/b][/i]

I will follow the trail. Come with me...

The gatekeeper starts down the tracks

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

With backup, I follow the trail.

There was something heavy here. It was dragged away a few hours ago. Io tells everyone.

He will walk about 20ft in the direction the drag marks went.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Io walks over to the body and stands still, examining it. At least, he could be. He could also be daydreaming its hard to tell without a face to read.

Heal Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Ah... I've got it. he answers.

Also scanning the drag marks as I get near.

Survival Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Do you need my assistance? Io asks from within the wagon.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Having just awoken, Io's mental voice is unusually 'loud'. OF COURSE THERE's WORSE- he thinks aloud, touching his head as he realizes he was projecting louder than he intended. He dials it down.

Sorry. I was only going to say that there is more dangerous things in the woods now. We are here.

He retreats back into the wagon, shaking his head and mentally chastising himself for forgetting to whisper.

The gatekeeper leans out of the wagon, more curious than afraid. They were still in civilized territory, after all.

Do I see anything? I only see out to 60 ft.

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

agreed. Horses need rest too.

You, sir, have a +11.

I am a psychic spellcaster; I need 8 hours sleep for each day but it doesn't need to be consecutive. However, I am most certainly a back line character. I have like half the hit points that Eva does. ;)

I volunteer to take the morning shift.

Of course. I also procured a pavilion tent for more of us to rest.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Have you ever eaten a fly? Io asks, looking as perplexed as a faceless man can. I would be willing to try one, if you are curious. The people in this realm are fascinating, albeit close-minded much of the time.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm sure you look nothing like a cow. Io replies in good humor. Though I see things differently than most.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I am sure we can call the landmarks whatever we please. Perhaps something highbrow to go over their head?

He pauses. Should we call the cows bovines, instead? I never understood why people got bovines and minotaurs confused.

-Posted with Wayfinder

you know, that's the ONE knowledge skill I think I don't have. :P

I will keep my... eyes open. Io projects, a bit of alien humor considering he has no eyes.

The gatekeeper will sit at the front of the carriage, driving it unless someone else offers to do it.

You outdid yourself as always IO. Are you sure you're not the spirit of a great quartermaster reborn? Or perhaps it was you Szo. In either case I thank you.

The gatekeeper gestures from where he stands, picking up his charter with mage hand and pulling it to him. He holds it for a moment before putting it safely away.

Your thoughts of gratitude are welcome... Alice. Io responds, his mental voice somewhat stiff. Though I have no ties to any mortal spirit. I assure you my body is quite real.

Though... Apparently barely. How does everyone else have so many hit points? did I miss something during character creation?

We can not afford to disappoint. Io thinks aloud. There is much at stake.

Okay I'm back! King without Land, is it all right if I purchase the extra magic items as part of my starting setup? I bought a Handy Haversack and Bracers of Armor +1

Gatekeeper Io will arrive at the set upon time, with a large wagon in tow by four horses.

For redundancies, I bought extras of stuff. Sorry for the convenience! :P

The Silhouette of a man looks over the assembled group and speaks to them all in their minds simultaneously.

Greetings. I have procured a wagon and coffee. And some other things we might have needed. I also do not understand how you all can wear so much clothing. Isn't it stuffy and difficult to breathe with that much wrapped around you?

oh! Oh damn! I thought it was only 5k. Nevermind being broke let's get a frigging wagon!

I'll do some shopping and post what I'm buying in an hour

-Posted with Wayfinder

Io stands near to Coyote, intent on following her about town.

Io has very little, if anything other than his cloak and amulet. He might need some assistance with basics

-Posted with Wayfinder

The gatekeeper sits on the far back of the table, sandwiched on either side by his companions.

Io is human in size and shape, but that's where the similarities end. The man, if he is a man, seems to be nothing but a silhouette of a muscular humanoid wearing a good quality cloak and an amulet that clasps around his neck. If one stares at him long enough, little sparks and speckles of light seems to slide across the surface of his skin, like it is but a lens revealing the night sky of some far off world.

The Gatekeeper touches his hand to a cup of water, and it seems to lose it's vibrancy. He does nothing else with it, and the waitress who comes to detail the table later finds that the water is somehow stale.

I know the site, I typically don't want people using off board rolls. But I have had an epic cause of horrible rolls tonight.

Tell me about it. This other campaign I'm playing in I've rolled 6 2's, 2 1's, and a 6 in one night. >:(

Been working on a 3D rendering of Half-minotaur Eva.

I can make more renderings, but the program and my content library has limits.

Smaple rendering from a game I was in

Poser? I have Fuse but I hardly ever use it. It's been like 10 years since I've seriously 3d-rendered anything.

Oh no! I'm sorry about that.

It does not stack, they are both Ability score name bonuses. Wis to Ac, if the Self-Perfection said something like Add Wis as a Dodge bonus to AC it would stack.

Okay, I'll go with enlightenment then. :)

As a more serious question, King without Land, If I were to have the Self-Perfection Phrenic discipline, the AC bonus I get from that class will stack with Monk's, yes? I think it's more thematically appropriate to take self-perfection than Tranquility, considering how Astomoi are in pursuit of harmony of body/mind.

Upload New build into Eva

(I have a back-up of the original Drow Alchemist/Sorcerer build)

Holy crap. Im never going to need to monk-fight my way through stuff like, ever. :D

You and the wookie could suplex the doom train.

Look at the other half and you'll start to see what was missing from the group.

Oh yeah, I see it. :)

I don't mind having a nilbog tag along. I just can't get my head around the actual lore way they heal damage and vice-versa.

Any sort of way I could play a half-dragon? Maybe some racial levels?

I recall Races of the Dragon had Half-Dragons with a 3 level racial class,

though the PF version of Half-dragon is LA 4 so it would be the same as with Jon's Shade race. You'd only have 3 class levels to work with.

Though it would still need GM clearance.

I'm currently debating on if I should re-built Eva into something the party is missing...

Divine Caster?

Coyote gathlain oracle/sorcerer

One Divine caster is already picked....

oh right. derp.
