Went ahead and took the chance of writing the alien familiar into Leopaldon's background. It gave a more compelling motivation to go to Numeria than a piece of junk that wasn't working. I also broke his motivation out of his backstory to make room for the added bit about his familiar, t260g... Does anyone else find themselves wanting to write Numenera when they write Numeria? Good luck to all.

The familiar is a Petromin, described as: This sleek, furred creature has flaps of skin stretching between its limbs and its body. It gives it's master +3 stealth. A sleek creature named after lube? That's only moderately clever but I'll take it. I could work that into Leo's backstory to go along with the Egg he found.
After toying with the idea of making a wizard that channels (yes, that's a thing now thanks to the ACG) I've decided to stick with Leopaldon as built. if selected it'll be fun to go Technomancer and use arcane battery to shoot fireballs without expending a spell slot. But that could be months or years down the line. I agree with Jack. The moment I saw the Razmiran priest submitted I started pouring over my fluff again. I'd love to see some of the recent submissions get fleshed out more (I'm looking at YOU Alexa) and I don't envy Viskous right now. Which brings me back to a couple of questions I had that was lost in the heap: @GM: Will campaign traits play a large role in the selecting process? And if you have the AP now, having seen the new familiars, are there any that you think would fit in for Leo? I've been holding off on committing to a familiar until I find out about the ones in the AP.

That's an unfair comparison Carl, everyone knows pretty fighters never lose. I'd love to be a quarterstaff wielding cleric of Nethys, though I'd want to ask the GM if I could take the Staff Magus's 10th level ability as a feat, or at least just the part about the magical quarterstaff, not the recharging bit. EDIT: I decided against building a cleric, I'll just continue hoping Leopaldon gets in as a wizard. And go Raven for using dat hero array.
Dotting for interest. Will be submitting a Spellslinger or Siege Mage (this is the only AP where they might be a good choice thematically). I have a profile up that needs to be filled in. Will be done by the deadline. I also need your opinion on using SLAs to get into prestige classes. RAW it works out, but a lot of GMs have mixed feelings about it. |
