FYI my laptop is down and I've had some issues with my login. Will get a post up as I can. Tonight out tomorrow probably.
Since the opportunity is here, I'll work on getting together my Spirit Guide Oracle/Chosen One Paladin idea from GMotC's game together more firmly.
Oh, that's a bummer. I missed that the submission date changed. Have fun, all.
Working on a Chosen One Paladin/Spirit Guide Oracle. I'm planning for him to be a child of Crusaders who's been 'gifted' with something like Cassandra's curse.
Ugh, just as I was about to complete my post a 1 second power outage got it. I will try again later tonight.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays folks. I'm still working up a concept. I was having a hard time with my halfling summoner/something build and am currently looking through some other options. I saw the posts about a min 30 point buy. I have (currently) 18/8 from focus/foible and rolled stats of 16/15/9/8 which is a 14 pt buy. Should I adjust that somehow?
Hrm, I'm thinking about a Vampiric halfling slayer/summoner with a focus on mounted combat (riding the Eidolan). I'm currently thinking no archetypes. Do you have any preference for unchained vs chained summoner?
Edit: Also, are the rolled stats in order?
Thinking about a fighter 1/investigator 4 front liner that would fill the spymaster role. I'm waiting to hear back on another recruitment, but should know with enough time before the existing deadline.
Definitely very interested. I've got a character I'll work on. Plan would be Fighter at level 1, then onto Investigator from there as a frontliner.
Definitely interested. I'm thinking about a fighter 1/investigator (the rest) to fill your rogue-like needs.
Looking at some ideas here.
@Rikash. If you think you can tank then go for it. Perfect, thanks. I'm playing around with some ideas. Hoping to have a post soon.
@GM_DBH: I'm playing around with ideas for an fighter 1/investigator 10 to fill the front line position. I'm just checking in that you have no objections to that. I'm not planning to do rogue-esque things so I wouldn't step on Olimpia's toes.
If you end up running the Kingmaker campaign I'd apply. I have some fun ideas for that, but don't feel like I'd know enough about LOTR to be able to submit a good character.
Rogue or rogue like skill sets are going to be needed. Sounds good and thanks for the quick answer. I'm contemplating a Halfling swashbuckler/investigator or a cleric of some sort. I'll try a few things with both ideas and see what sticks. :)
Do you want a rogue (as in the actual class) or are you looking for something to fill that role? Hey AllenDM, any feedback on this question? I just wanted to clarify on this point before I start working on a character.
I wasn't going to be able to make the 27th deadline but I see now it has been extended. I'm now contemplating a few options and wanted to clarify: Do you want a rogue (as in the actual class) or are you looking for something to fill that role? Considering a few options and this will help narrow them down.
The Scarred Lands setting sounds pretty cool, though I don't know more then 2 minutes of reading on Wikipedia can tell me. I'd be interested in a game.
Considering a Halfling of some sort. Investigator and maybe a dip into Swashbuckler sounds like it could be fun.
This game looks very interesting. I'll definitely be giving this some more thought. With the fighter, am I correct in assume he can still use the Advanced Weapon Training and Advanced Armor Training as normal?
Here's what I'm currently thinking about. If I go down this route, I'd need GM dispensation to have both a Black Blade and a familiar at the same time. Take a look at the Black Blade spoiler and let me know what you think. If the idea (which I think is pretty neat) isn't kosher, then I'll rethink the build (probably dropping the VMC for a free Bladebound archetype). Note I've just got a brief synopsis for my backstory. I'll type it up in a prettier fashion a bit later. By the way, what kind of timeline do you have in mind for wrapping up recruitment? I didn't see anything in either this thread or the other thread. Note: Made some slight alterations to my skills, etc after some reflection. It makes more sense to me to change this way. Background synopsis:
* Godfrey Leiter was born to a significant noble family held in high regard in Talingarde. * Despite being a fiercely intelligent, he didn't care for most of his lessons aside from swordmanship. He'd sneak away to practice swordmanship given any opportunity. * His parents, desperate to have him live up to his potential, brought in a new tutor. * This tutor possessed arcane skill and was able to keep his ward's attention by bribing him with magical lessons. * Frustrated by the slow progress with his tutor, who urged caution and restraint, he practiced his swordsmanship AND arcane ability together in secret. Grew resentful of the restraints which eventually grew to disdain for the Mitran church (as a source for the restraint). * Sought to expand his arcane knowledge as an adult, eventually touching on occult lore that skirted the bounds of legality (via others who share his passion). * Charmed his way out of some legal trouble, but increasingly feels that the Church hurts Talingarde's ability to grow stronger and to improve. * At this time, begins to grow closer to outlaw arcanists who introduce him to Diabolism. Finds himself at home with the tenets emphasizing cunning, strength, subjugation of the weak by the strong, and other Asmodean tenets. In particular, finds himself attracted to Geryon (Archdevil of the 5th level of Hell). * His interest in increasingly arcane lore and in Diabolism eventually draws the attention of Mitra's lackeys who see fit to try and jail him. He escapes (with help? one the way? details TBD?) and joins up with the Evil crew. Black Blade/VMC:
I'd like to tie the Black Blade to Asmodeus (or rather a lieutenant of Asmodeus) and the sorcerer bloodline that I picked for Godfrey's VMC (Serpantine). My theory is that Godfrey's blade and eventual familiar are the same spirit/devil. He's committed to the accumulation of ever more esoteric lore (as a way of enhancing his already formidable arcane strength). His particular interests and desires align neatly with the Archdevil Geryon's domains. Geryon (as a servant of Asmodeus) gifts him with a blade that has the same (or similar) goals. This gifted blade grants Godfrey abilities above and beyond a 'normal' black blade (which can be flavored as the sorcerer VMC). This eventually takes for the form of a blade that can transform into a snake and back, Godfrey's affinity for serpents, his venomous bite, etc. Mechanically, this doesn't strike me as too over the top as there is some overlap (only one entity who gets the benefits of familiar/blade at a time).

16, 15, 15, 14, 14, 12 array is pretty solid. :P I've got some cool ideas for a magus/VMC Sorcerer. Would something like that be sufficiently 'fighty' for the party?
Hi GM Kobolum, I wanted to clarify if every character will get +2 skill points per level. I seem to recall that being something generally recommended by the AP. I don't see those listed in the build rules and I'm assuming you're not using them? I'm working on a Magus concept, but skills will be a bit tight and I wanted to clarify before I got much further.
Dot.
Still interested. I've got the basics of my build and backstory together on my computer and I'll be typing them up and expanding on the backstory tonight or tomorrow.
Definitely interested. Thinking about a magus of some type, but don't have more then that. Probably VMC with rogue for an arcane trickster type character. Details to follow.
Chaos is strong...
That's strong alright.. Will figure out something to do with those. :)
Very interested. I started this with a friend group right before I moved away. :( Definitely will have to come up with something to submit. It's late right now though so I'll have to think on it some more. Dotting for now.
Looks like I'd be stuck with the first roll, based on what all the other folks in the same boat are doing. I'll take the point buy, that being the case. I'm thinking of a half-elf whose ancestors fled in The Retreat and who's past is lost to tale. All that remains is a battered family blade bearing a crescent moon and setting sun on opposing sides of its pommel [Ties to Labelas Enoreth and Corellon Larethian). Mechanically, I'm thinking he's an Urban Bloodrager/Bladebound Hexcrafter Magus. Obviously the family sword eventually reveals itself to be intelligent and fun times ensue. The Hexcrafter portion is minimal and is primarily being taken to tie in the overarching theme of luck/fate. I have some ideas for the curse aspect tying back in to the realm's fate and the intelligent sword's background. The Bloodrager bloodline is obviously Destined, given the above.
This sounds interesting! = 15 2
So this is technically ok (22 pt buy and net +3), but I don't really want to have to work around the 4. I'll take the 25 unless you're ok with a reroll (rolling is more fun). If the reroll is ok, I'll use something from below: = 12
(11 pt buy doesn't meet the rules) = 17
(28 pt buy with net +8 bonus) I'm ok with a 25 pt buy or the above. Which should I use? Will work on ideas from here.
Gonna see what I can come up with real quick:
Reroll:
I'm still thinking about my concept and wanted to ask what you though about allowing Spell Combat to work with Investigator extracts (after taking the Broad Study arcana at Level 6). It seems pretty neat thematically (chug a potion while fighting in a Witcher-esque way). Any thoughts on this question, GM Panic? I didn't realize the Psychic detective archetype traded away ALL the alchemy talents too, which I wanted to play around with so I'm rethinking my concept.
Ok, I think I'm all done. I may make a few minor adjustments between now and tomorrow, but they should be minimal. Good luck to everyone!
Fair enough! :) I was trying to get a feel for the overall campaign theme. I'm still thinking about my concept and wanted to ask what you though about allowing Spell Combat to work with Investigator extracts (after taking the Broad Study arcana). It seems pretty neat thematically (chug a potion while fighting in a Witcher-esque way). Also, stats before I forget again:
Almost got everything wrapped up. Just need to finish my sample and continue to get a feel for how to play Obi-Wan. Should be done tomorrow. :) @Yoricks: Thanks for getting me on the list! :)
Interesting concept. I'm not sure if I'll have the time, but I'm thinking of an Investigator(Psychic Detective)/Magus(Bladebound/Hexcrafter) who's an expert on all sorts of esoteric magic! I'm interested in what direction you might want to take the game. Are you thinking urban intrigue/investigation/social game, urban horror, or something else entirely? Edit: Also, are you saying that we MUST choose a drawback or that it's optional? Right now I'm reading it as a necessity (and the trait it gives is already included in the 5).
I think you missed me YoricksRequiem, though I don't think I posted a character sheet yet. I still have some thoughts to put together, but what I have for my Obi-Wan build/character sheet is here. I did shamelessly steal your character sheet, which is awesome. Thanks for posting it. :)
Does that help with clarifying things? Quite a bit, yea. Thanks for that. To extend the scenario, if Joe the Jedi is now level 9 and takes Force Training again, he should have 6 ((L1/2 Min 1) + 5 WIS) + 9 (L9/2 = 4 + 5 WIS) for 15 total powers. Uses would be 5 (from L1) + 9 (as # powers for L9 feat) for 14 uses. None of those numbers would change until L16 when he becomes Wis 22 OR he takes the feat again. All that sound right?
Still interested and absorbing as much as I can of the system as possible. I have a tentative outline for how I want to build Obi-Wan. I wanted to clarify something about Force Training. In the game, you get 1+WIS modifier powers that go into your suite and you can take the feat multiple times to get more powers. Your house rule extends it to 1/2 char level + WIS modifier, but can we still take it multiple times for more powers (that'd be from 7 to 14 in my case at level 7 with WIS 18). I also though it was a bit odd that Persuasion isn't a class skill for the Jedi, is that intended or am I missing something somewhere?
Alrighty, sounds good to me. :) Let me start having a look at this. I'll need to do some research to figure out how to build/play him. 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 18 I can work with that. :) Will start looking into this.
So I haven't played Star Wars Saga before, but am intrigued by the campaign idea. Would my lack of experience be an issue? My understanding is that it's fairly similar to a cross of 3.5 and 4th editions. I would tentatively be interesting in Obi-wan, but I'd have to give it some thought.
Also fighters get 4 skill points a level. That allows you them to have something other then 9 ranks in Athletics and 1 rank in Swim at 9th level.... I don't suppose that extends to any other classes? Running out of skill points for flavorful things as a magus (2 points per level, but INT is an important skill).
Hrm, I do like this AP a bunch. Let me think on it. Spoiler:

I suppose I can figure something out with a 41 point buy equivalent. I'm thinking of a magus with (undesired) Sczarni ties maybe.
I'm working on some form of Magus/Fighter. I'll probably be using the Bladebound and Lore Warden archetypes. One question about the Lore Warden: it gains Combat Expertise as a bonus feat at level 2 in addition to the normal fighter feat, should I just take a different feat that requires it instead?
Sorry to see you go, DW. It's been a lot of fun playing with you over the years. Take care and happy gaming!
I'm definitely interested and am working on putting together an alias with all the trimmings. My character (whose name/background/etc are still very WIP) is a human noble who is a brilliant arcanist, ferocious swordsman and hero of the people. He'll be a Kensai/Bladebound Magus, School Savant (Admixture) Arcanist, and Swashbuckler following the Archmage path. Further details to follow, but I know for certain I'll be taking Noble Scion of Lore as my first level feat. Edit: Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know if there's a way to do Trisalt on Herolab? There's the 3rd party pack that does Gestalt, but I don't think I've seen anything for Trisalt.
So focus/foible you can allocate stats where you want them? Or do you roll them straight down after choosing your Focus and Foible? Assuming it's the latter, I'll stick my 18 in INT and my 8 in CHA, going for something arcane.
Edit: Well then, I think I might have to try something a bit MAD. I've got: STR - 17
Thinking about a Kensai/Bladebound Magus and Wizard combo. Probably as an elf. Alternatively, can I arrange those how I like? (might swap WIS/DEX) if so.
They are out right now. I do not have that material and am too unfamiliar with them currently. Alright, thanks for clarifying. I just wanted to make sure they were a purposeful omission. :) I'll have to think about what other concepts I want to play around with.
How do you feel about Occult Adventures classes, Digger? Specifically thinking about an Occultist who seems to have a lot of flavor that you can play around with (discovering items, learning history, etc). The player's guide (and your listed classes) didn't mention anything so I thought I'd check before I started building a character. Edit: I just notice you didn't list it as part of the source material. I assume that means Occultists are right out?
