![]() dotting in, I love the campaign and the premise of it. I also enjoy the combined aspect of that leadership brings to it. I have an idea for a barbarian descended from Iobaria. It's of course rather open ended but that sounds interesting to me, if it's something you are less interested in then I could more than switch it to Numeria which is also very cool. ![]()
![]() I present Salim Myr, a psychic who has a bit of a memory problem and awoke under the stars with an expanded mind. He is trying to figure it out and looking for any leads. Statblock:

Description: -Short description: a thin bronze skinned man of 30 with dark black hair with sides shaved and the rest braided down to the back of his next. He wears well made clothes that are made for durability and function yet are distinct enough to show higher station. A headband with a strange runic language lines his brow keeping the sun out of his eyes, and a flowing cloak keeps the sun off him. On the upper ridges every now and then a small scorpion barely visible makes its way in the folds keeping out of the sun. -personality: He keeps a rather friendly personality but he is somewhat awkward at times seemingly not as experienced with people. However his personal charm and intelligence help to make up for it. However rarely when under stress in battle something changes in him; he becomes darker and more malevolent. His rather cheerful and friendly demeanor is replaced by a more sadistic personality. He is somewhat forgetful, and seems to be missing memory he believes. He takes solace in the stars above trying to discern himself like he can discern the stars. -Quirks and flaws: The main quirk of Salim is that he has a almost split personality. The result of prolonged domination. The entity bled over and has created a splinter of its personality In him. He does not understand why some of the malevolent urges happen, and is able to control them but under stress he sometimes channels them into his magic. Sometimes it comes out in his everyday demeanor and he sometimes feels like these intrusive thoughts are his real personality. - Backstory: Salim Myr was born to a somewhat well off family in Katapesh, his father a learned man of magic, he worked for years making enchanted items for the pactmasters. After working as a merchant to earn enough to begin tutelage under a rather well known sorcerer with the city. It was here that his memory began to blur and things become strange. He remembers learning and studying, doing small tasks helping him various jobs for what seemed like several years. But he later learned that this can’t be true, when he woke up one day in the desert, he awoke his head bloody and his head pounding, confused on why he was there. As he made his way back to the city he began to notice differences than what he remembered. Stores where new people he knew were much older, and things didn’t line up. Going back to his father’s home he found the place boarded up and empty. A note left by his father that was faded and dusty told a sad story of destitution and loss. The sorceror had slowly stolen business from him, and his father unable to keep up slowly sold everything. Trying to speak with his son however led to silence and disdain for his failure as a merchant. Eventually unable to find a way out he accepted failure and death lamenting the loss of his son. He hoped for peace and left him some items as he awaited seeing his wife in the afterlife. Now with no family he has worked to figure out what happened to him. He works with an old friend he had that worked to supply components for enchantment. This as well as the strange powers has given him a chance at finding the sorceror, Saeed Tahar. -plot Hook: What things did he do do while under domination? How long was he under the spell for? What happened to Saeed Tahar, the sorcerer? The malevolent aberrant entity that dominated him, what was it, and how much did it control? - important NPC: Bastam, an older merchant who has made his money selling components. Of the friends he remembers he’s one of the few that is still around. He knew him for many years and is one of the few links to the lost time. He has seen strange things in the city and has learned to be impartial but holds a soft spot for Salim.

![]() Dotting for interest, I had a game get to the third book! But promptly stalled out almost immediately after which was mildly disappointing. Anyways I’m EST. I have a concept for a Unchained summoner; but it would involve using the synthesist archtype which technically isn’t on the unchained class. Obviously a bit of an ask but I know the unchained classes didn’t port everything over; ie see Umonk. If that isn’t allowed I have a prebuilt Feysworn Inquisitor Half-Orc I would love to use that I made for a separate game. Let me know what you think DM I should be able to put together something once I get word back. ![]()
![]() I am interested in the game, though just a heads up. I am EST, and would be able to do 7 to 8pm I could push it to 730-830 pm to help accommodate things but any later is a bit harder for me. Let me know what you think, I will roll stats in case it works for you! Stats and things: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3, 4) = 15 11 5d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 1, 3) = 13 11 5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 2, 2) = 13 10 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 3, 6) = 18 12 5d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 4, 6) = 18 14 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 5, 5) = 19 16 5d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 2, 1) = 11 8 Oof that’s a rough one; 16,14,12,11,11,10. Not exactly good but it’ll half to do.

Backstory: Family servant and ex adventurer
Valen was born to a promising noble family in Brindel. He was the prodigy the family needed to propel themselves to greater heights. His father Durrun was a local power holder having control of a large portion of knights and lands to the east. Affluent and powerful no expense was forgotten in Valen’s tutors and teachings. He learned from multiple people but one that stuck with him the most was his favorite teacher. An old hero from decades ago by the name of Sedric the Red. Known as one of the best with a sword he taught Valen everything he knew about sword fighting, and lessons he had learned in life. This fresh perspective different from the ones he heard from his other tutors began to shift Valen’s point of view. What he once saw as his birthright he realized was simply tyranny by another name. The people who served his father had little sag in their lives and were at his mercy. As the day of his coming of age ceremony crept closer he planned to run off and sever ties with his family. Not wishing to be apart of this scheme his father had. On the eve of the ceremony however hai father caught him packing and an argument ensued. His father threatened to disinherit him in a fit of rage. This changed everything as Valen soon realized that his family carried a dark secret. His grandfather a sorcerer who had been elevated to their current title had also made a dark pact. After summoning a powerful devil he had damned his family and his descendants. When his father uttered those words a clause in the contract shifted the power of the pact to Valen. And a massive fiendish creature burst forth in a brimstone and fire proclaiming him as his recipient. It then turned on his father and sneered saying his folly grand. With this happening Valen made the decision to leave but his father in a fit of rage forbid it. A fight broke out and trying to defend himself Valen free the family blade. Seeing the Devil’s red eyes sting at him and speaking in his mind, he felt a surge of power and rage. Striking out at his father he fell, unsure of what to do and feeling increasingly afraid Valen left. He has ventured for the past few years now coming to 22 seasons old. He has started to learn more about this pact and the history behind it from the Devil that controls his life. He’s found he has become more powerful and has been gifted another reminder of the Devil’s power. A contract holding the soul of his one time teacher. This unease balance is precarious as Valen has taken the opportunity to do good when he can despite the Devil’s temptations. But the entire time the uneasiness of knowing his father is out there in some way or another has kept him moving from town to town never truly settling down.

![]() I’m interested in A5e it seems neat. I’ll probably end up going with some type of warlock, since they are my favorite class from 5e. Will do some reading when I can and post more of an idea later, but I’ll get some rolls done. stat 1: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10
Very meh, guess I’ll take the point buy. ![]()
![]() Dotting for interest, i have an idea I could shape up that could fit. It is a shikigami style rogue that is well trained and fascinated with killing. Possible serial killer esque and educated. May multiclass, ideas are investigator or alchemist (obviously vivisectionist works wonders but I would only use it if allowed.) ![]()
![]() The discussion is up and the recruitment has started see Here . Please dot in when you can. ![]()
![]() This will be the new campaign thread. I will link for any references or notes Needed. I’ll get to work having a sheet for loot and something set up for maps. I’m thinking of using google drive or some other aspect of it. I’ll start work preparing and hopefully next weekend I can have everything ready to kick things off for Brinewall. In the meantime feel free to make any edits to your characters builds, (no 3rd party please) and spend the allotted 2.5k of extra gold you all are given however you wish. Please try to get headings organized as well. While I am away till next Wednesday please answer questions as best you can in the recruitment thread. You also will be the main voices for what type of character you pick up as your 5th. Thanks again for letting me join you guys and I’m excited to run this for you all! ![]()
![]() Your right, technically it’s a mutated bloodline. But the principle applies so a smart magical man is mechanically sound (tried for the alliteration but stalled haha). As an update it seems like everyone would like a 5th and is ok with me running it. I’ll try to get a thread up tonight to start prep before this weekend. I’ll also try to get an initial post up as well. I’m not as familiar with the build you all had but it seems to be 20 pt buy
If I’m missing anything let me know! I’ll hopefully by tonight have everything set up so you all can join that thread tonight. ![]()
![]() Edgecase that I was curious about will items still in development but not released also get the Foundry treatment? One example I was thinking of that comes to mind is the converted Kingmaker AP? Understandable it’s massive so it may not get inputted but having it in foundry would be invaluable to running it, (and my sanity). ![]()
![]() Fair enough, I finished reading up and see you have the 10K from diamonds, consider that gone and each of you have 2.5K that can have been spent over the last few weeks however you wish. Also my opinion and a general idea I have; feel free to buy non standard items besides the big 6. I loathe them with a passion and will as much as possible roll them up into another item to make them actually interesting. So if you have an idea feel free to let me know. As for the 5th if you want we can do a recruitment. I very much like all your characters and want to give them as much time in the spotlight as I can. I know that 4 plus the bevel of NPC’s you have it may balance out as well (one of those occurrences where you’ll pass them in level and they will follow but staggered to a degree). I’d say your guys call, but also I’m not as inclined to throw NPC’s in with you all at every opportunity during games so a fifth may be something you want if you don’t feel like inviting an NPC here and there. ![]()
![]() I’m reading through the story so far now, about half way. It’s only the 4 of you correct? As for some info on myself; I’m a big fan of RP and set piece combat with the occasional dungeon crawl to change the mood. I really want to empower you guys to try things and do what you want both for your character and in character. If you wanna build a wired way I’m more than willing to help facilitate that, I won’t slap you guys around constantly, with huge monsters and traps if you all decide on clerics just for example. I’m willing to offer a rebuild and repurchase as well for anyone who wishes. It seems like you guys might have missed some treasure a little bit I could be wrong. It also will help give you something to do while I prep things. I am in the national guard and having training most of next week as well so prep will be slow starting off. Also to be upfront an upcoming deployment will change my posting schedule as well as possibly make posting impossible for a month or two starting mid june. I’m willing to run things for you guys but want to be upfront there will most likely be a large span of time where I can’t post. If this is fine with you guys then it should make things easier. As for my concept of the AP is to dig into the relationships of the NPC’s and the people, as well as exploring the ideas behind the AP (which will be revealed hopefully by the end of the book). So I’ll give ample time for RP when possible, and will simply ask that everyone let me know when they are ready. Obviously if things start to drag then this may start to get cut back. But if one or two of you wanna do something then we can by all means zoom in on that. I’m not a fan of the AP specific rules, ie caravans and relationships, so I’m not going to use them if that’s all right with everyone. Though I think story wise incorporating their topic in isn’t a bad idea. Once I read through I wanna reread the first book, I haven’t read it in a while so starting up will take some time. I’d also ask that everyone make sure their sheets/alias are all set with stats, levels, and common rolls. I use them also so it can expedite things to keep it going. I like to make some group rolls (initiative, group perceptions, group saves, etc.) so that way it can keep things moving. Let me know if any of the stuff above doesn’t work and we can tweak things to suit you guys. It’s definitely interesting coming to a preexisting group as a DM so I don’t wanna change everything just for you guys to not have fun. ![]()
![]() Everything I think is done. Never tried an occultist, and the idea seems absolutely cool! I can say I very much enjoyed building him at the very least. The main idea behind Hareleon, is to offer an array of choices to help the party with. From extracts, implements, focus powers, and an ABSURD amount of skills I think he could help quite well. He isn’t a full 9th level caster but why not add some spice to the party. Crunch:
