The summoner himself can not take the precise strike feat (as he does not qualify!)

Instead our fighter took the feat and they work well together!

But I am a ranger;p

Fighter in the sense of melee' er!

I am updating over on Rpol right now!

I will get everything done later.

Are you re-booting rpol? I think you can include both games under one, just seperate threads.....

Hi Favela, I am willing to try out your ideas with the combat feats and stat changes. Also since Grusk may be able to help with his summoners pet. It may work out fine.

Favel

You might consider reading about "wise fox" my small Eidolon on my profile.

It has the teamwork feat precise strike, you might look at taking that yourself. I can not take the feat till third level due to the +1 bab requirement. The Eidolon is built as a "flank buddy".

As a ranger you usually have to wait till level 4 for an animal!


I found the game thread and sent a request to join..... ;)


I am already registered on rpol as Fubar Snafu.


Grusk is ready for your perusal.

Feed-back is welcome!


This is one that needs a bit of work to meet your requirements.


Always good when a PC can find a home!


First and last!


Still hoping for a slot!


Wise fox is alert, watching and waiting!


DM

Spoiler:

Planning on maybe only summoner to level 2, then changing class
Likely ranger or rogue....

if that helps....

Anything else I can answer or additional information you need?


Role in the party....

Grusk provides the point man in the form of his Eidolon, who can walk point, set off traps and help avoid death and dismemberment...

The eidolon is also small, stealthy and acrobatic, able to help flank with the precise strike feat.

Grusk is tough as well and uses his nets/whip or greataxe as needed!


This is a character I have been dying to play!

I will adjust the stats and everything to fit your game....

Campaign trait chance savior...


Answers

Spoiler:

Name: Grusk Tan'hul
Race: Half-orc
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Class: Summoner
Alignment: TN
Projected Build: Summoner for single level, then rogue, then ranger
Combat Role: melee rogue
Personality: Eager to make friends
Primary Deity: Gozreh
Concept: Loner who ends up seeking companionship through innate talents of summoning but quickly decides he needs others.


Grusk summons wise fox through intuition which occurs spontaneously. Wise fox becomes his Eidolon but also his teacher.

Think of it like a spirit guide or something like that....

Sold as a child into servitude, eventually ended up working for a trapper. One of the beasts killed the trapper, Grusk was just there......

I will continue to clean up this character!


How about LG and building into Ranger or Paladin!


Grusk history more fleshed out...

Also motivations are listed....


This is my summoner I have been working on....

I do welcome feedback! ;)


This is a summoner I have been working on for awhile....

He is not finished yet is a work in progress, is designed for this to be his first and only summoner level......

I am open to feed-back. ;)


I am going to recommend the precise strike feat for all the EIDOLONS at first level....

Something that might only happen for an all summoner game......

This was my take on the summoner with this idea....

Course he stops progressing after level one then goes into another class......


Can quickly change scores, etc

I think the sold into slavery/abandoned by parents fits the campaign perfectly for a half-orc!

Character concept

Spoiler:

1 level summoner, eidolon as "imaginary friend" guide who helps him till he can care for himself.

level 2 teachings of eidolon continue becomes thief (acrobat archetype)

Sounds like you need a half-orc summoner/rogue!


Ok changed my mind....

my one word is "unoptimized"

In trouble now, all the CC people have responded and none of the KM people.......


Grusk is in many ways a contradiction, he learned things from his eidolon he calls "wise fox" who embodies that which Grusk is not, he has externalized that which he does not have within....

Grusk dreamed up fox so he would not be alone, yet still he is, the one person he knew has died and his lonelyness has pushed nim into adventuring.....

Also due to his low charisma he can not continue to be a summoner.....

Grusk has been chased/persecuted by both good and bad and sees them as being nearly the same......

Is that better.......or worse?

One word is....Contradiction
Melee and ranged (eventually)
Combat support

Personality reserved

Alignment TN


DM

Spoiler:

How about some suspicion upon this character as a suspect in the killing?

He has several striles, 1. late getting to the funeral, 2. full blooded orc (if allowed to change), 3 consorting with summoned creatures......

Food for thought


Updated Grusk....

Spoiler:

Making his way in the world Grusk was driven from most lands and lived on the fringes of societies, in that time he kept imagining that he was not alone the fox appeared to him, he had seen the worshipers of nature before and felt in a way drawn to the fox, sly and cunning slipping into places and taking what he needed. In his mind each day the fox became more and more real, till one day it took shape and he summoned the Eidolon he calls wise fox. Grusk survived finding broken items in the dumps and scraps, using minor magic he learned from wise fox, he mended and binds broken things into useful items.......

Professor Lorrimor was met and Grusk saved him from being buried under a heap of trash. The professor was interested in summoners and had been seeking a spontaneous summoner one who developed without any arcane influences, he was further intrigued by Grusk being neutral and seeing a balance within the cosmos..

Grusk now fully eqipped, and hearing of the passing of the only person he knew in the world, has left the dumps and scavenging behind him seeking instead to learn more about the world than the stories Professor Lorrimor told him on his visits.

Also considering full orc rather than half-orc......


How I see Grusk fitting in with the current characters....

Spoiler:

Likely Aydan Mishnok, will appreciate the fact there will be someone heading into combat aside him.

Azuk'ai will have another half-orc around, one that likely aids him in passing for human

Duron will have a boost in arcane casting even though it will be minor....

Melk Besonders will likely appreciate the subtile nature of Grusks Eidolon, a small animal rather than medium or large, and not frightening at all.

Runyon the alchemist will appreciate the powers drawn not from dieties, instead from some far conjured beast.

ie why they might want me around! ;)


who thought we were first come first serve, that almost never happens.... ;)


Kenderkin here!

And here is my half-orc summoner that just needs a few changes here and there, but is ready to go....


Take a gander at this guy...

I have been wanting to play him for a minute...

Do you do point buys or roll for stats?

Yep, that could work. Neat idea, in fact.

Out of curiosity, why the spoilers? Is it okay if I include your idea in a list of character submissions? (I guess that question applies to a few other would-be players too!) Are y'all being secretive, or just conserving space?

Conserving space....

I will stat him up tomorrow.....

How about 1 level of summoner? I promise to never take anymore!

Take a look at grusk and let me know what you think!


"Shaddup before I belt yah!"

just so we are clear this is an in-character reply to the question.....


too wierd to post?

I like the bard summoner
small Eidolon

my mental picture is a little guy with a flute with a serpentine E, in a whicker basket who pops up as the flute is played

the "snake charmer summoner/bard"


Tell me about your summoner build traits, feats, skills, point buy, race, equipment, I would like to compair with the original!


It almost makes it worth several people taking it in the party


I see how the doubling up on percise strike really helps with this build....

still not sure about feat #1....


Now eventually the E. could be one of those tenacle encrusted behemoths, but for now he is small and I believe viable for level 1.


It looks like it would be edurance for his first feat, followed by diehard...I had not thought of that route!

I think the small E. is an overlooked possibility......

Plus the RP aspect making the fox, a wise advisor to the summoner....


Any ideas?


I wanted some input for my level 1 summoner build....

I feel like he is incomplete and wanted some ideas.

I like that he is a half-orc with a small Eidolon.....
