Montis would probably be mildly heretical. He is a druid, after all. He'd still help the warpriest!

DM bird here. If anyone wants to borrow a template for a character sheet feel free to use Montis here as an example. He is by far my most tidy character work up of late.
Marko here, posting! (If the answer is no to the wand I'll remove it). The character sheet is otherwise done including Oscar, his bear animal companion. Mechanically he'll serve as a good source of damage and tanking in combat and out he'll be the best damned tracker there is. And with a wand he can even help out others with their injuries. (Hence my interest in purchasing one.) Montis 'Monty' Ironhide, Invulnerable Barbarian Warrior and Druid Appearance: Despite his profession, fighting style, interests, pets and even general dwarven nature Montis is actually a very well kept man. His gold hair is long but neatly bound in braids and even his similarly gold beard has them. His dark skin and worn skin shows the weathers of a travelers and a single gash down his right eye shows the marks of a warrior. On such a tidy looking dwarf, the mass of muscles and the crude Earthbreaker he carries both seem out of place. Background: Montis was born to a family of warriors, so it was no surprise that when he was young he took after them and learned to fight the good fight. Harnessing his rage, wearing armor, and swinging weapons were his curriculum. After his first battle however he got lost. He spent many a day wandering trying to find his way back home and it is here where he encountered Oscar. The brown bear was little more then a cub at the time and seemed to be equally lost. Rather then let it die, Montis felt pity and sympathy, and took the creature with him. He was still lost though and now he had a second mouth to feed. On the eight day, when even his dwarven constitution was starting to fail him, he was found by a wandering druid. The elven man was surprised to see a dwarf, and a what looked to be a warrior at that, carrying around the half starved cub. So surprised that he made sure it was not a pelt first. When Oscars life was confirmed, the Elf took both in, and after regaining their vitality Oscar discovered something. He didn't want to leave. Not yet at least. He sent message to his folks who were relieved to here he was alive and angered to here that he had begun learning the ways of a druid rather then returning home to his responsibilities. They grew even more upset, at first, when he did not return home after his apprenticeship ended. But as time grew on and the messages he sent kept coming, describing the locales he went to and mapped out for gold, they learned to accept that their son was no longer a warrior like them. He was something more. An adventurer.
I saw one other gunslinger. Didn't think there'd be that many to compete with considering everything else people are offering. XD To be fair a chance to play an effective gunslinger is rare and a lot of people love the class. Yeah, the more I think about it the more I'm starting to fall in love with an Inquisitor Susan. I've even gotten ideas for how her story will flow into it. She leaves the city, ends up trying to fend for herself in the wilds with the gun, and finds herself adopted by a hunter of Erastil. He teaches her a lot but two things really stick. The importance of family, what she lost, and the way of the hunt. It's actually a little crazy how much the two classes synergize. If it weren't for the group initiative she'd be going first almost all the time. XD I should be able to finish Susan here tomorrow and if not Sunday, but you never know. I've been sick all week so I might end up passing out. Edit: Also, I love the Dresden Files. You read them much?
There. A little closer, but not much.
Considering this is the image I chose, I'm honestly quite surprised that there's someone else so similar to Joe in some ways. (Our images even look a tad alike with the slightly pointed ears and gritty clothing and what not). First, I'm going to say I had a much better reply written out, but I have learned to hate the paizo forums when it comes to not wiping my posts every five minutes. Anyway, of the three, Ranger was the only one I gave any serious consideration. I eventually discarded it because the Rogue brings more options to the table and can basically do a lot of what the ranger can. Anything the rogue can't do that a ranger can is either covered by the gunslinger or is stuff I'm not particularly interested in. I've played alchemists before and while they can be fun, my favorite concept for them is... -mad- scientist. The guy who doesn't know when to stop and eventually creates a monster out of himself. A very cool one. Bomb wise, I see the advantage, but I'm not a fan. -shrug- This concept is more of an eccentric tinkerer whose trying to make something she can protect people with. Fighter I'm already doing, but doing it on one side and gunslinger on the other means it will be -very- combat oriented, and I prefer concepts and characters that have more to them then that. And I think with Gestalts rules you can't double up on a class. The rogue gives me that mix, even when the ranger does not. It gives me some combat utility that compliments my Gunslinger and a whole heck of a lot of skill that lets me make a dare-devil sort of character. Admittedly, two stealthy ranged characters might be too much for one party, but on the other hand each of them seem to have their own thing going, and this DM seems more interested in those that can create good stories rather then a perfectly balanced party. -shrug- Who knows. I can think of a few reasons why a loud weapon wouldn't change things. In the end its as much about thinking on your feet as it is anything else. As far as other classes go, I ruled them out. Its between the Rogue and the Ninja. If you've already got a rogue, then maybe going Ninja would actually help differentiate us, let us stand on our own while also working together? (Still keeping the duster though.) |
