I have made a second character for giggles, even after I said I was not playing her, she Keeps being listed. :)
Open to ideas but besides the 2nd boon (and writing out the fluff), I'm mostly done Talking of Fluff, Maedyri Question GM: would you be ok and me doing a 10 Minit background for my PC. I have always found it really useful and GMs seem to like it.
10 Minit background:
The Ten-Minute Background Step 1: write five things about your character’s concept and background, five things that you think are the most essential parts of your character. You don’t have to stop at five, if you like…this is just a minimum. Step 2: List two goals for the character that you, as a player, think would be cool to see accomplished in-game. During any session in which you take positive action to achieve that goal, I will award you an action point that can only be used in scenes furthering that goal. These Action Points are separate from the action points you gain by resting and reaching milestones. You can change goals later, though you lose all the accumulated Action Points for the goal you abandoned. Step 3: List two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises! Step 4: Describe three people that are tied to the character though blood, romance or honor. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. All can do something useful for you, if you can get the situations to line up. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you. Step 5: Describe three memories that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.
Other players, if I may ask your indulgence, do you think your PC knows Fallen? If so, what kind of event would have lead to them meeting. Also how would your PC act toward him. I ask because I would like to add your PC to Fallens 10 min background, as others he knows and events he has had etc Some offered PCs, I think Fallen would know: Maedyri
Qeetan'Chachol Shaaldanarth
Candraphon
Godwyn Blaecwulf
I picked the above PCs as I feel like he would know them, but he would also know others I have no debt, the 10 min background only asks for 3 so have more then needed for that, they just seem to fit best for background.
The End of their time: The city had once been a marvel, with towers of gold and glass, airways, and skywalks carrying its plant-like inhabitants and gleaming crafts. Waterways and parks adorned with artworks glittered in the sun. Cronossuss materialized, his feet floating down to touch the ground. He now walked through a devastated place. Towers had fallen, broken skyways and walkways littered the streets, and the once-glistening crafts lay in shattered, eggshell-like forms all around. Parts burned and blasted, as fires still raged. He surveyed the looted shops, shattered glass windows, and the dead—there were so many, some clad in blue and others in green. The factions of this civil war had made their positions clear: the Blues sought technology and life in space, while the Greens desired a return to nature, to reconnect with the land, and to reject technology. They fought and killed each other until the Blues unleashed mechanical weapons that never ceased. The Greens resorted to bioweapons, turning the dead into killers. Ultimately, both sides were decimated—almost all were gone. Cronossuss found some steps and walked down them. Passing through a series of thick doors, he finally arrived at a lab. There, both Blues and Greens worked feverishly on a device—a basic time vortex creator that could allow a single person to travel to the past. They hoped to change history, to stop the war, and to make everything better. Their plan was simple: go back in time and kill the leaders of their respective factions. But in 300 years, a lesser hairless ape species they had overlooked would claim this world, discovering the remnants of this civilization of plant beings. They would learn to be cautious and avoid the same path to self-annihilation. Cronossuss knew all of this because he had seen it. The gem embedded in his forehead had informed him of a possible time breach. That’s why he was here in the past, observing as they worked. He could see that the time device they had created would work. However, he faced a difficult choice: he did not want to harm them, as that wasn't necessary. All he needed to do was stop the device. Reaching out with an invisible hand, his finger pressed against a single wire, and in an instant, it broke inside—no sound, no fuss. As a time warden, his task now complete, he didn't want to wait and witness only working device they had fail; he just hoped that the wouldn’t burn itself out to much. he know that now nature and fate would take care of the rest. Perhaps a few of them would survive, but he doubted it, they were too combative with one another to do that. So he faded from this time and headed back to a new age. The proctor had said the game would be streamed tonight; he was a big fan of Tree-Football after all.
All remade but for items, which are only a few Magic/Power tattoos
Sadly no, but the upside is, making it again, lets me check everything.
Well shoot, seems I just deleted my whole PC sheet, going to find a hole to cry in now.
@Cronossuss Fallen of Time: Any other changes besides those? Just the race change, it will effect, Dex state and race Skills, and so on. He has ageless from other sources, so do not need that race now, amd wanted to go back to Android.
Moved Fallen back to being an Android, will update skills and other effected parts of PC.
I would say yes just as android is both humanoids and Contract, so with this logic you could have say... You would count as both aberration and outsider (Native) For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger’s favored enemy, bane weapons or spells that target type), you count as both aberration and outsider. With NA, yes I believe they do as some templates state the increase NA on top of the base creatures and NA sources stacks. That is my thinking
@GM I have placed this limit on my PC, as a GM I don't want to break the game with time shenanigans
NOTES ON LIMITS TO TIME MANIPULATION: Cronossuss Fallen of Time us of time is linked intracinily to the Gem in his forehead THE EYE OF TIME, which has its own mind as a Psicystal and legendary artifact. It acts as a protection for time itself, It will not let its posseser brake the timeline or use powers if they causes a 'Time Breach' All time wardens have a simpler limited on what they can do with time. The other limit is that Cronossuss does not whined back time for the rest of reality, but sends his mind back where is body was, doing what it was doing. The action still stands but the outcome may change. NOTE: FIXED points in time, Fate and Time have fixed points, events and outcomes that can not be changed or a time breach will happen. If fate states here and now something MUST happen, then happen it will.
@fun at the rock concert: Is it was open mic KTV time, Cronossuss nods at Candraphon. "I booked this slot for a song, back in a moment"
Cronossuss starts just a little off key, so he windes back time 6 seconds and starts again, this time a little better. The song he sings = Depeche Mode Heaven Taking a bow at the end he puts the mic back and heads back to the bar.
@Candraphon, fun at the rock concert: Cronossuss orders two pan galactic gargle blaster drinks from the bar, when the come they like quite inoffensive. He leviates one over and offers one to Candraphon. "Eaten any nice worlds restanily?" He asks in his high fading in and out voice, Cronossuss always seems a little away with the fay. Too much smoking of herbal menthol cigars per chance. He becomes material just long enough to down the drink in one. Shudders, belches a rainbow to the sound of a trumpet, looks around as if seeing things that are not there, and then dematralaises once more. "Not bad two more please"
slight change Cronossuss
Class:To be an Uncarnate, Which I really want to play, You have to be able to manifest powers, and as we seem to have a two other players applying with the Investigator class. Dropping Investigator for Psion makes mores sence. Race: Felt Planner Elf felt like a better fit, And he is a gentle soul, a good guy so, LG Seems more inline with the build. Presented Form
Personality
As they are none add, CR Templates, I think everyone is just using the 20HD as CR20, so you would get CR31
@Candraphon: The strange entity turns to regard Cronossuss, And people call me mad! it utters in an entirely deadpan voice. haha, that he may seem, But I have a feeling we may start the game knowing each other as we are a team. And here is lies something that I have been thinking about. I have made my PC so that he can't really function without others to lock him into the here and now. And as a Time warden he has to sometimes do this that may seem evil. Like Ending a plane, because it's either going corrupt others, or become the start of time corruption. I am working on the ideal that there is a near infinite number of planes out there, from pocket dimensions to dream planes, Etc. And there are times where he needs someone like Candraphon to pop in there and do the deed. Think the hard, cull the weeds. And this is where a mobility and vision come in. Local good, may not be global good.Local evil may not be global evil. Intent evil/good and action evil/good not being the same. So I think Candraphon would be friends in an odd way.
Background: Time Warden 1: “There is a corridor…
Time is like a progressing corridor, but there are weak spots where Time – implied to be a malignant force – can break into the present and take things. There are also creatures from the beginnings and ends of time that roam the corridor looking for the same weak spots to break through. A Time Warden task it to find these weak places, branches and spots that can let outside things come in, old building full of old things. Places of massive plane braking energy discharge, Beings who play with forces they do not understand, letting outside things in. The Time Wardens are tasked with pushing whatever comes in back out again, and then fixing, repairing or removing the time breach so it doesn't happen again. Cronossuss Fallen of Time, is a Time Warden, vested with powers and skills to protect timelines and planes themselves. He operates and follows a strict code, as do all Time Wardens. Braking of the code has only one punishment, the total eradication of the effender form all time lines. So he takes his responsibility very very seriously. The house of Fallen, has been Time Wardens for as long as there has been time. Each incarnation of the house offers one of its children for the transformation into a Time Warden. The houses Legendary item, the TIMES EYE is implanted into the forehead of selected child. This child then has a raised under the Times eyes tutelage. Transforming into a being that can walk the paths of time and space. They also learn what can and can not be done. But with such power comes a down side, seeing into posible planes at the same time, is always disoranting. It's hard to know which here and now one is in. So most Time Wardens work with others to help them keep grounded in the here and now.
Oo I like this PC, I think Fallen would get along with him only. Fallen is lawfull good.
Drinks for everyone, my treat, he says, turning to see who is left watching the performance. Fallen looks at the world ending dark lord and says. "You know in another timeline you're a 13 year old girl who calls herself Milli, rightnow she trying to show her drawing of a flower, all while her mother and father looks on proudly.I have to say the justapasion is quit jaring." Then adds "Yes Miss Milli its very nice. How about you show the others here."
Cool idea, darn that dyslexia
Happened to me as well, :( Had to just put links in to things. But Fallen of time is looking more and more fun to play,I have was going big hitter show what I can do, but now going with I think this is a call idea and as the GM said, this is the game to try out cool ideas.
Im going all in, replacing Psion with
The being made of light, slaps his hands soundlessly looking at Josten Cailean, on the stage. Tuning to a fellow inext to him. "I have to say Josten was really rather good."
Two performances played out before him, one amazing the other not so.
Fallen: "The red 47 sounds nice. I would love some" Barman: "But I did not say anything." Fallen: "Really, O dear, sorry I responded in the wrong reality" He just does things that seem odd, then realising they were not meant for this 'here and now'. [Not crazy evil stuff], just odd things like being putting out a another dish thinking there is another person.
Strength=0
how?:
Android race + boon 6CR templates Advanced-creature {CR1}
+BOON: God trait
+ adesdent psion.
and no angels or demons in sight and they all fit him as a good peson made to be good i like time-seer-creature{CR1} it fits his name
I agree Monkeygod, just feel some players with 30+ stats and saves in the 40's would for me be as a GM a challenge, trying very hard not to one shot kill players not CR Maxing. Our DM did hint and banning some templates but there are so many meant for monster-challengers in game and not really players use. It does feel like, all or nothing with them. @Qeetan'Chachol
Dang, we gots 3 potential angels?? And here I am, a Yaksha/Rakshasa, who will probably be evil, lol Haha, What about we become Hells Angels, have Magic Motorbikes hehe. But you have a point, Looking at templates BOON, I think it's so tempting, and if you take it, I think most will fall into 4 camps. 1: Undeadeded shadow/worm walking/vampre... 2: Fendi possessed 3: Angeli Possessed 4: Godzilla size stompers SOOoooo, Im test not using it and take, Boon of the Well-Traveled Wanderer and Boon of the Apex Entity. And change my PCs race to Android, I want to see what the gap will be if you don't take CR6 templates EDIT: Well I did and the gap is bad like really, really bad, 6CR of template levels with no level loss from PC is massive, Templtes just add so much, Immunities, Skill bonus, Stats getting close to max. Advanced alone is just 1CR and your getting +4 to all starts, +2 to all rolls. Any other way of getting that costs a lot. And you still have 5CR of templates left to play with. Without temples 6CR Template BOON your kind of much weaker.
@Cronossus Fallen of Time: I was looking over your character and saw that you took the Mighty template. That's one of the templates I'm banning, so there needs to be some changes on that front. Be sure to clear templates with me unless I've already ruled on them elsewhere so there's no confusion. Arr. Oke-doky GM, not a problem. I will have a look and see what I can do with others, truth is could be more fun this way. :) On the vine of him being a good guy, would you allow, Sending PM GM, :)
I am running QT to see I have not messed up, But Cronosuss Fallen is mostily done. Originally an Androffa'on experiment, once he learned how to planes travel he has spent a long time learning and evioliving himself. He is good, and will try and do good deeds where he can. Elan Ascendant Pison, , legendary Investigator / Overmind Genius,
In personality he is low key, being human/elf looking.
I know other players will make Beasts of builds, I had a core idea of what Fallen would be and kept to that. I will expand his backstory and link him into the group GM
New background,
Fallen was activated by the planet Androffa, tasked with protection of its people and reality from the destructive forces. Which he did up until the great war. Made to be the pinnacle of Psionic and technological invention he form follows function. He was gifted with powers and abilities beyond any norm. After the great war, Fallen went searching for the lost generation ship Divinity. but was unable to find it. How ever he did discovering a means to travel to other planes. Where he worked with a number of organisations on his prime directive. Protect the people and reality from the destructive forces. He likes cats, fav color is Electric blue, thinks 8 is a lucky number, does not like the smell of Cheese, Will always try and help a child in trouble, no matter the race. Does not like slavery and thinks its an abhorrent practice. Most of all he always tries to Stands for all that is good and true.
How ya guys gettin such high ability scores?? Best I can *maybe* pull off is a 29 for Int. That's starting with a 16(no templates or racial bonuses, yet). Did ya'll drop some stats super low to gain more starting point buy?? Hi Monkeygod this is how I got 1 to 40 Used the Advanced {CR1} and Mighty {CR5} TemplatesSo AI Boon sets my PCs Int to 19 {I could add points to this but I will not as I don't think it is meant to be used like that, ity just sets it to 19} Then spending points 35 gets me SRT 11 [01p] DEX 14 [05p CON 13 [03p] INT WIS 17 [13p] CHA 17 [13p] Now add,
STATES
Hope that helps Fallen
Im thinking that Cronossus Fallen
Why going the group, because its what she was designed for.
Seems my Dyslexia is getting the better of me again, Sorry GM, I keep missing things.
"I will not allow custom races whatsoever and I'm standing firm on that." Thanks Andrew missed that.
Just seen the leadership ban so forget that last one.
Hi GM I think you missed my questions Question GM: Dose these CR templates take 6 levels from one side of the Gestalt?
im happy with @name
Change of plan Ascendant is not a Archetype, so going with. Boon of the Evolution's Chosen: Some circumstance in life has altered your very being in a fundamental way that sets you apart from normal beings of your species. As a result, you or a companion you gain from a class feature gain a number of templates of your choice less than or equal to a total CR value of +6. These must be cleared with the GM, who has the right to deny or alter any that they feel do not suit the game. You may take this boon more than once, but this new set of templates cannot be added to the same being. Question GM: Dose these CR templates take 6 levels from one side of the Gestalt? The idea is she is an AI placed in an Elan body, both of which are manufactured. Weather in the far past or far future. And now lives in Sigil As she is a Dreamscarred Psionic Elan {Ascendant} Psion and Legendary Investigator, working with Psionics/Magic transparency I think she will work well and with High Psionics should be a few with the same powers. Question GM:
Going with, Elan Psion
Fallen IMAGE [CG] Cronossuss Fallen is a being out of time, she has no idea how she got where is is not, nor dose she have any memory before being here. what she dose have a a mind and body beyond the normal. She learns information at and incredible rate. And makes leaps of deduction others find astounding. Power of reality comes from this mind, able to shape and alter matter and Energy. Who made her, why she is as she is, she doesn't know. So she has set out to find out. Legendary Investigator L20 + Ascendant-Psion - L20 Mythic-Overmind T1 MarshalT1 BOONS Ascendant

When you first gain a Deific AI Talent, choose an AI Origin that represents the way you were made. This may be Divine, Magical, Technological, or a Hybrid. This choice will affect many of your Deific AI Talents because you are not necessarily compatible with other types of powers. As a move action, you can wirelessly transport yourself into a new body capable of housing your mind as long as that body is within sight. The GM determines what sort of body can house your mind. In general, however, you can possess any body similar to your previous form and that it makes sense for you to inhabit. For example, a technological AI can usually inhabit computers, while a magical AI can often inhabit golem bodies or anything powered by an elemental. Divine AIs can always inhabit holy symbols of the deity that created them, and usually possess construct bodies marked with that symbol. Divine AIs may also be allowed to inhabit holy symbols of deities friendly to theirs. (Good deities are typically friendly enough and willing to help each other.) Backup Body: You may create a backup body capable of housing your mind in no more than 24 hours of work. This body must be appropriate for your AI Origin. At any time, you may transfer to your backup body as an immediate action if you have a physical connection, but it takes 5 minutes if you're doing it remotely. Backup bodies are created with systems specifically attuned to you, allowing you to pinpoint them from any location (even on other planes). You may only have one Backup Body at a time.

Fallen Test roll play: Fallen has been wounding the great north woods for a few years now, exploring and seeing the life there. Today she was flying along with her tow compilation Psycritals, having taken the form of one hers when they heard the sound. The Barking of colbolds , a child crying of a child. Fallen chanced cause and ship, taking on the form of small female elf in winter clothing. She gestured for her competitions with Drow sign language to hid in the trees. Then she walks to the sounds. She came to a clearing where overturned cart could be seen, a few human bodies lay on the snow red stained snow. Dead from wounds inflected by the band of kobolds now ransacking the cart. A small human female child was kneeling next to what Fallen guest must be her mother or sister.
"She want get up, mummy wont get up." Fallen reached out her mind to the child's and read the grief and pain there past it to the ambush that afternoon. Flashes of images, of the attack. Fallen held out her hand and one of her tattoos lit up family. A large box came into being, and the girls mothers body lifted off the snow and into the box. The child's looked shocked, warrid and moved as if to follow her mother into the chest. But before it she could it was gone, Fallen held out both hands, and indicated the child should come into them as a gesture, sending images of a Temple, A priest and the spell he could cast to being her mother back to life. The child understood at once, they always did, she went to hold Fallens hands when and arrow shot bast them both. It seems the kobolds has at last noticed them. And this new intruder was not welcome. Fallon ignored them as she picked the using her telekinesis, smiling at the child and holding her tight. Then Fallen turned face the kobolds. As the jumped off the wagon and came at her. FAllen shifted that past of the mind to be the other self. Doing so, so that child could not see.
And they stopped, Fallen could see the snow under them change color becoming yellow form what was running down their legs. then they ran, running into the woods to fallens competitions. Fallen waited as one by one their screams cut off sharily. Then the two competitions came to join Fallen and the child. There was a shimmer in the air, and they all of them where gone. To a temple somewhere warmer.
just a post to be on this page o and almost done :)
Sir Longears, +2 to four scores, seems fair, Ill try it and see what pops out.
Its an odd one, as you have Multi hits say for a monk, could be that +4/+4 on your unarmed attacks, ?
Is this that brakes things Perfect Body, Flawless Mind (Ex)At 20th level, the character’s endless training and study has resulted in an unmatched mastery of the self. The character increases her ability scores by a collective total of 8. For example, she can increase one score by 8, or one score by 5 and another by 3, or four scores by 2, and so on. Characters of any class can select this ability. That is +8 on Key ability, which with the build rules will have will have that ability bonus added to To-hit, Saves, AC, and so on. Its not that hard and that PC will have a +8 bonus, we still have Benchmarking to limit but still. It's a big add for one sides capstone.
I dont think we allowing capstone benefit or the Boons from Oaths that up states or in fact Class Bonuses, I think with benchmarking,
2x Level IE any stat at 40 should be the very Max, or we will get some mad builds and we will defeat what we set out to do,
INT[40][+15][Base 17][13p buy][Race+4][Levels+5][+3Age][ABP Legendary Mind APB+6][ABP+5Alt Reality/Wish IE inherent] Are we saying that even with Race bonus, Max starting Stat before level/ABP and age is 18? Also I am working with Psionics–Magic Transparency So Anti magic field would effect psionics just as they do magics. If This is the case then there is a very good argument to have a none magic/psionic class on one side of our builds. I bags Langandry Gunslinger-Investigator
Asking what is the max stat with Benchmarks is I have int at 40 and was wondering if it should be 36?
Have to say this is the most fun I have had making a PC in ages.
:)
Fallens back story. Fallen doesn't know how/when they became a Elan, or who/what they were before the moment they work up a long time ago in a whole in the desert. Fallen form above the locals said. Back then the world was much more simpler as it is now. Things change slower, and if they said you fell from the sky, and no one asks more. Fallen found things to do, worked the land, subjugated monsters, was a slave for a time, A cook, an officer, A traveling Merchant, a sailor of the seas, a ruler of land, and many more lives lived. But always Fallen moved on. Over that time Fallen learned what they was capable of, and that they had a dual nature, A light and a dark side, locking it away until it was needed, learned to keep the light side facing the world. Fallen kept away from the limelight, letting others take credit for Fallens Deeds. Learned that fame or fortune had down sides. And kept at being a wanderer. Love interests fade as other grow old and passed, but Fallen knows a few immortals, who act as like Islands of stability and what seems to Fallen an ever faster changing world. But even with wondering and hiding away, Fallen over time gained a title, Cronossuss' they called Fallen when back at a place long ago visited. Later added 'Fallen of Time', A joke on Falens real name that stuck. So that is Fallen now, 'Cronossuss' fallen of time. Who walks the world.
Fallens is a oddity, having arrived with the Falling Starts event, that brought the Andorians and Androids etc. But Fallens may be older than that but dose not remember.
I found a really nice image of FALLEN my pc offering And she looks like that, no weapons not Armor, just a nobles clothing and a long black coat. No harm at all to anyone. But then she looks at you, SHE LOOKS AT YOU, and somehow your may not be that sore anymore she is as harmless as she looks. You may want to break eye contact with her, with a possible uneasy feeling something is very very off. Hehe
