Mandra the Shredder's page

Could you share some names of the racial archetypes? how many per race? And anything on the elemental plane touched?

There are alot of racial archetypes (74 by my quick count)

3-4 each for the Chapter 1 races

2 each for the Chapter 2 Races

1 each for the Chapter 3 Races

The ones I've found particularly interesting so far have been

The Order of the Paw Cavalier (Dog/wolf riding Halfling)

The Imperious Bloodline Sorcerer (Human with Legendary ruling blood)

and the Bramble Brewer Alchemist (Half-Elf alchemist whose mutagens focus on natural armor and has what is effectively damage dealing tangle foot bags instead of bombs.)

Elemental touched races Undines, Slyphs, Oreads, and Ifriti are all chapter 2 races so they have 2 archetypes each plus about a good half dozen to 10 alternate racial traits as well as 2 or 3 feats, spells and/or equipment pieces.

I've only quickly glanced at the book as it is dense, its going to take awhile to absorb I think.

oh my god i love you! thanks for the info ^^

Nope just have to be a kitsune.

Any chance for a bit more info on the magical tail feat? Like is there a list of spells you can choose for it or is it just one spell and you get more uses of that spell when you take the feat multiple times?

There are 8 spells to choose from and you get them 2/day each.

oooh cool, are the spells interesting/worthwhile? Also does the feat allow you to take the same spell twice? effectively gaining it as a 4/day?

Also what do you think of the race creation rules if you've looked them over yet? Did they add any near racial types such as Dragon?

Nope just have to be a kitsune.

For any of those who have already: what kind of nlikeew Kitsune feats are there?

They get 2 new feats;

Magical Tail - gain a spell-like ability and grow a tail, you can take it 8 times.
Realistic Likeness - look like someone you have encountered when you use your change shape ability +10 on disguise check.

Enjoy!

any requirements for those other than the obvious 'be a kitsune'?

Paizo is on Pacific time. Not sure when their day starts exactly. Usually it takes 3-4 days to clear out all the subscription orders so you aren't alone, most of us are still waiting.

<3 Thank you my friend ^_^ Now to play the waiting game *stares intently at screen*

The Paizo folks have gone home for the night. If you don't have it now, it's not happening until at least 8AM tomorrow. You should let your trigger finger rest, it's a long day tomorrow.

8AM what? EST CST? D: I am unfortunately one of the unlucky ones who did not get the PDF so id like to know when to begin spamming F5 ;P!

oooh, you could be a Crystal Dragon Wyrmling! :D!

Or perhaps an Imp Cleric of Asmodeus

I'm pretty sure Kaalia would just be a very powerful Human cleric(of what I am unsure) her creature type implies no actual extra planar influence(at least not enough to change her type)

I do however think you're on the right track with everything else, It's quiet unfortunate that we don't even have Drake summons in order to have SOMETHING with the draconic subtype.

As for how you could provide her with the wings without being a half-whatever, you could have her possess the Eldritch heritage feats. I suppose though that they provide the same 'i have X in my blood' rather than simply being something she HAS. But feats are far more malleable than Race/Templates in regards to flavor or at least that's how it's always been for me.

Alrrriiiiiight I am officially back in action!

Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes with my recent post, climbing is something I very rarely need to do in my games for anything more than 'go up that rope' xD

Init, 22, Round 10
Mandra narrowed her eyes at the boat trying to somehow spot the invisible creature, as she did so she noted a section of the boat that was not on fire quite yet and a quick and rather reckless plan began to form in her mind. If the Manticore was anywhere perhaps there was the best place for it to be with a quick look to Khan and an order to stay where he was Mandra charged at the wall closes to herself that was near the ship intending to scramble up it so that she could then reach the ship and perhaps the Manticore.
(If possible}
Once she was up on the wall Mandra would leap onto the boat itself digging her claws into the wood and scramble up it as well hoping that she had been correct in assuming where the Manticore might be.
Heading up the wall that is at N-9 and if I have any movement left after that moving onto and part of the ship that isn't on fire ll I'd prefer to end up at M-10

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
{If needed to get up onto the boat assuming I can) Climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

I bought a new computer(looooooong overdue) so i should be back to responding normally

Sooo my computer more or less decided to completely stop working x_X sorry for disappearing..

Round 7, Init 22

Mandra's jaw dropped as rather suddenly a massive ship just appeared out of thin air and then burst into flames, she'd have to work even harder in order to match whoever decided to do that in pure ferocity. Smirking to herself Mandra let out a growl before leaping at the Spotted Lion slashing at it with her claws as Khan did the same.

Movement: Mandra moves to X-2

Attacks
Khan Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Khan Trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Khan Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Khan Claw 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Mandra Claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Damage
Khan Bite: 1d4 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Khan Claw: 1d2 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
Khan Claw 2: 1d2 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1
Mandra Claw: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Round 6, Init 22

Smirking to herself as the lion falls Mandra takes a quick moment to flick some of the blood off of her claws before immedietly bolting off in search of more combatDouble moving to AA-3 While she runs Mandra orders Khan to run on ahead of her to aid in the battle against the Spotted Lion as she is well aware of the smaller cat's greater mobility.Khan double moves to X-3 assuming he can hit the Spotted Lion for a full attack from there next round, otherwise he moves to W-3 instead if need be.

Round 5; Initiative 22
Mandra grinned as she and Kahn moved into place alongside the giant scythe wielding man. "This shouldn't take very long." She said as she smirked at the giant before she and Kahn each took a quick strike at the lion, Khan doing his best to try and drag the larger cat to the ground while Mandra simply tried to do what she did best, tear the lion apart.

Kan shall move to CC-13 and Mandra to DD-13, Khan will start off by making a bite at the lion

Mandra's Attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Mandra's Damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Khan's Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Khan's Damage 1d4 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3
Khan's free trip due to the Trip special ability(assuming he hits) 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

ROund 4; Initiative 22
Seeing that a number of the other warriors were working to take down the remaining lion Mandra and Khan would dart off from the side of the ruins running past the battle and past Jhock in order to get ready for the arrival of the other lions just in case the group didn't put the last one down before they popped up. Once there Mandra and Khan would stand ready to strike at the lions at there first opportunity.

Sorry for not posting I suppose posting from my phone on my bed is not exactly a particularly smart thing to do when I'm half asleep xD, Mandra will be double moving to AA-11 with Khan moving to BB-12, Khan will also be Readying an action to Bite a lion if it comes within range to do so.

The maps as everyone has said are pretty awesome ^_^ i would however like to raise the quesion braegan mentioned earlier on if rubble is difficult terrain as it might be important for tactics hehe

Mandra gave those present a quick grin before turning to Ezenda. "You need 'em drawn away? Well I'll see what i can do." Mandra said before darting off for a rather large section of ruins making sure to slow down slightly once she would be within the sight of the lions. Once at the ruins Mandra would grab a rock and hit it against the wall of the ruins while having Khan let out a roar hoping to further draw the attention of the lions.

double moving to s-13, sorry for the delay/meh post i wasnt feeling that great after work and am only now starting to feel a bit better. I unfortunately wont have the neat little character help thinng as im on my phone and making it would be annoying xD

** spoiler omitted **

AH ok thank you for the clarification, I shall instead place myself in S-4(Khan in T-4) so that Mandra and Khan can see the Lion ^_^.

Round 1, initiative 22
AC 18, touch 13, flat-footed 15
hp; 60/60
Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +1
Defensive Abilities: Cat's Luck
Conditions: None.

Mandra grins as the gate opens and gives Khan one last pat on the head in an effort to soothe her companion after the jarring teleportation. Once the gates were fully open Mandra and Khan would let out a roar before bolting into the open landscape, once she got herself a decent distance from the starting gates Mandra would pause waiting to see if any of the lions were prowling around out here. If she got the chance she and Khan would leap into battle with one of the large cats and proceed to (try) and tear it apart while waiting on the actions of the rest of the team.

Heading to T-7 and readying an action to attack a Lion if one gets close enough. Khan will be in U-8 if he can't be in the same square as me(I'm still a bit new to squares and maps as my offline group does not use them.) Totally stealing Jack's thing because it's cool and useful :D Also sorry for the delay >_<'

@Mandra: I made a combat icon from the Bestiary 3 picture. Whatever you pick on here is fine. Maybe a picture of Khan?

Oh cool, I'm still searching but i managed to find one that at the very least shows Mandra's attitude xD. Hopefully I'll find something i like better but for now this should do at the very least to help out Jun Yu and anyone else who might have problems spotting me :P

"I'm pretty sure Spotted Lions are generally loners, if anything perhaps a couple of us could lure them away from the pride itself an take them out quickly. There significantly tougher than a normal lion. If anyone likes the idea I definitely want a shot at one." Mandra said giving the group a toothy grin. A fight with a lion would definitely be some fun but with what she knew about spotted lions she was certain that they would be even more of a challenge and thus even more fun to fight even if she was pretty sure fighting it 'solo' was mostly just wishful thinking.

Edit: Found a cat :D avatar now represents Khan

Sorry for the delay my shift at work was a bit longer than usual.

Mandra was grinning to herself as she prepared herself for the coming battle, she was particularly excited as the battle would give her a chance to go up against lions, she'd fought a few of the 'big cats' before but never a lion and DEFINITELY not an entire pride. She was certain this was going to be fun even if she was rather sure that grappling a lion was a rather poor plan, regardless she'd get a chance to pit her claws against that of one of the toughest cats around.

"I'd rather just go at them head on and tear some ass but then again I'm not much of a planner, I'm pretty much in the same boat as the creepy scythe guy though. Point me in a direction and I'll make some dead lions." she said with a grin.

Knowledge(Nature)1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 for the lions and spotted lions, since animals are one Mandra's favored enemy's I believe I can do so though the bonus isn't much xD! Once I know the result of my roll I'll post again ^_^

Mandra did her best to pay attention as Miggins spoke but occasionally found herself getting distracted as the speech seemed to run on forever only Khan's occasional nudges managed to revert her attention back to the bard and luckily for her most of the important information managed to sink in. She didn't quite like the fact that there would be 'nonlethal' matches at first but when it was further explained that some sort of magic would do the job for her she was a bit relieved. Restraint had never been one of her strong points.

While the idea of fighting one large particularly powerful monster was definitely interesting Mandra had to admit she was sort of hoping for the large group of exotic monsters as most likely that was where she'd get a chance to show off her skills at there fullest. It would be far more difficult for her and Khan to restrain and tear up some sort of giant monster than it would be to pick apart a group. She made a mental note to look out for those invisible 'handlers' if things started going badly for the team perhaps she and Khan could take a couple of them out.

Deciding to join in on the 'costume change' that a number of the other warriors were trying Mandra headed over to the Gnome and gave the little guy a toothy grin. "Got anything that you think might work for me and Khan? I'm not particularly picky when it comes to clothes so long as they don't cause any problems in a fight, if you've got anything that sorta matches Khan's coat in color that might be good. But I won't wear it if it's actually made from a Leopard.. or any other cat for that matter. Not quite sure if you've got anything that Khan could wear seeing as hes a Leopard and all but I guess its worth askin'."

My general idea for Mandra's looks is based off of the Catfolk from the Beastiary 3 and Cheetara from the new Thundercats show(though with a more Leopard style) So any suggestions on what might be cool to give her a more gladiatorial look are appreciated :P. I'm gonna see if I can have a friend of mine draw her for me :D
I've been completely unable to find a decent avatar to represent Mandra X_x

Mandra stared blankly at the announcer as she overheard... his? Explanation on how time worked in this place, more or less all of it went waaay over her head though she did manage to get a general idea of 'time is weird here' which was pretty much good enough for her.

"So the lizard said something about are first fight being a 'monster slayer' match. Any chance you could tell us what we might be up against." Mandra asked giving the Announcer a wide grin while hoping that he would slip up and give out a bit more information.

I'm pretty bad at thinking up group names so hopefully someone more witty than me will come up with something great xD If something does come to mind though I'll be sure to mention it.

A feral grin spread across Madra's face as the woman mentioned that the initial fight would be a 'monster slayer' fight, she didn't have a clue on the particulars of how it would be done but the implications of the name were enough to get her ready for action as the monsters that they would likely be sent against would more than likely be quite fun to fight. The addition of trapped ruins just added to her excitement as it upped the risk factor and as well it was always fun to lure a monster into a trap. Mandra only barely took in the rest of what the woman had said as she began to imagine what sort of monsters she would get to fight.

As the conversation turned toward the first fight once again Mandra's attention was peaked as the Kobold mentioned that they would all be in the first fight. "So when does it begin? I've enjoyed exploring this place for the moment but what I really want is to fight." Mandra said as Khan butted his head against her leg and gave her a 'stop being so pushy' look to which Mandra just rolled her eyes.

"Huh.. I never really thought about having a real 'signature move' but I guess my favorite 'move' would be to have Khan here attack someone and knock 'em down to the ground" Mandra says as she scratches her companion behind his ear. "And then once they're knocked down I pounce on 'em and slice 'em up!" Mandra said making a point to display her recently sharpened claws.

"That's how I got my nickname so I guess it'd make sense for it to be my signature move" She says with a shrug already evidently a bit bored with standing there after only one question.

"My hobbies, we'll I like relaxing, eating, and sleeping, though I also really like just wandering around and just well.. exploring. Not in the whole 'adventure' style but just seeing what's going on and if there's anything fun to do."

"Well these things are about being the toughest fighter around and making the people like the fight right?" Mandra asked rhetorically while being a bit thankful that she'd paid attention when she'd been told what the fights were about. "Well I'm pretty sure adding me to the mix will spice things up 'cause I like to tear my enemies apart." Mandra said giving a wide toothy grin before realizing that she hadn't been quite specific in what she meant. "Er and I mean that in more than just like usin' my claws. I like to move around the fight and pick off the one's who aren't up in the front and then I go and tear up who's left. It makes things really fun because I they notice that people keep getting taken out they sometimes REALLY freak out." She said with a laugh.

"Uhh... Who would I fight... ermm.. I'm not really sure I'm not much of a reader so I don't know much about history. But I guess from what stuff I do know I'd probably wanna fight Caiden Cailen before he became a god. He sounds like he'd be fun to fight and if I didn't end up killing him by accident or something He'd probably be pretty cool to hang out with." Mandra said with a shrug, once the questions stopped Mandra shrugged and without so much as a goodbye wandered off with Khan to get some food.
