Mako Mafee's page

Chronicle looks good! Thanks for the game everyone!

My test drive is successful -- Mako the Cleric is a rebuilt Mako the Gunslinger... IDK - I just found gunslingers a bit one-dimensional...

Mako brings the wrath of Saranrae onto the last Ort.

Divine Lance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 for Spirit Damage: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10 Critical Hit: Double Damage

Divine Lance, HP, T-Shirt: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20

He pulls out his scimitar in case the thing closes with him.

Failure for 0.16 gp

Mako runs forward and drops a loud BANG in the corner of the room, catching Yellow, Blue and Black in the effect.

Noise Blast; DC 19 Fortitude, CA: 2d10 + 1 ⇒ (10, 3) + 1 = 14

◆ Stride

Mako beseeches Sarenrae to break the hellish circle.

He then calls upon his goddess to free the goblins.

Religion(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Mako strains his ears to catch bits of the conversation.

Mako heads over to Chen Fu and Dakon and treats their wounds.

Medicine(E), Ward Medic: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 1) = 12

Mako moves to get a better shot at Antino...

Probably misses even with the CA

◆ Stride
◆◆ Whiff

Mako intones a bunch of nonsensical prayers, hoping to convince the Hellknights that he's summoning demonic aid.

Religion(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Amazingly, they believe him!

Since Dakon can't get 3 successes

Religion(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Mako invokes the name of Saranrae to drive the imps back.

Perception(T): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

I think there's a path here...

So does Mako's light cancel out the darkness?

Mako heads into the building and lights his Wayfinder, hoping to drive away the darkness.

◆◆ Stride
◆ Light (Wayfinder)

Mako moves in as well to have a look around.

Mako moves to patch up Dakon.

Medicine(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Mako waits for the baddies to come inside...

Perception(T): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Mako makes his way inside. "Oho! Look at this! A broken trap. Maybe someone can repair this and give us some edge?"

No Thievery -- so unless you just want him to kick the door down...

Mako looks around for any stragglers.

Perception(T): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"I'll take one group"

Medicine(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Religion(E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Mako moves among the groups curing their sicks and healing their hurts. The call to Desna, not as successful...

I've played it once and run it twice (currently running for Outpost) so one location is no different from another for me

He does his own stunts usually. Back then of course, there were no green screens... Chen Fu is from Snake in Eagle's Shadow, IIRC.

No, I didn't pick the name based off of that. I just looked on line for likely names and picked one. Chén fú was pretty much a random pick and I am struggling with coming up with a good personality. Unlike some folks who seem to have a talent for creating a character with a rich personality from the start, I sort of discover who they are as I play them. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if my imagination is steered toward stereotypes established by icons like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

Now THAT would make for a good discussion. How do you come up with personalities and avoid falling into pure stereotypes?

If you want to see what Chen Fu is like (from the movie standpoint), go watch Snake in Eagle's Shadow. It's on youtube. Drunken Master is also a nice one -- if you like the prankster type. Both are available on youtube in their entirety.

Good question -- no idea, though I usually have some vague idea of what I want when I create a PC. Often I just base it off my older PCs. If the original PC is stuffy and too serious, I tend to lighten up the next one. Others are based on books I've read.

The Quickfingers sisters (Shayna (Bard 6), Shayla (Rogue 8), Francine (Swash 5-6)) I sort of made up as I went along -- I made Shayna and Shayla twins, which made it easier to come up with a name. Then I made Shayna the serious one (who opened a store and is earning an honest living), Shayla the imp (I always pictured her as Imoen from Baldur's Gate). Fran was an arena gladiator so I made her go 90 degrees from the twins... (in fact Fran is a later creation when I wanted a different type of swash). So from there I can base some of my other PCs personalities -- like making 1 or 2 salespeople from the store, etc... :)

Chen fu?! We doing Jackie Chan movies now?

EDIT - statblock updated

5 glyphs, but not needed. Friendly fire is ok as long as it doesn't drop him. Macros and slides complete.

R2 Heal scroll as his provision.

A tall man dressed in black scale armor enters the encampment. He has a scimitar on his hip and a bow across his back. Prominently displayed around his neck is the holy symbol of Saranrae.

"Mako Mafee at your service."

Ignore his statblock for now. I rebuilt him as a Saranite cleric recently and haven't really gotten around to updating his statblock yet...

Idly cleans his dueling pistols...

He reloads again.

Night and day...

Mako lets the wave wash over him, wondering why, all those years ago, he decided to skip gym...

Mako tries to identify one of the items Katniss found in the box...

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

But doesn't quite know what it is. It does resemble one of the bottles he used to shoot at on the shooting range...

Mako decides to use his eyes instead and look for some loot.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Over there! There's a large box floating in the waves." He points the box to Gympie to go retrieve.

Mako dives overboard, looking for a crate.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

But realizes that swimming has never been his strong suit after skipping gym to go to the shooting range.
