Scar-Scale's page

No problem.

Happy gaming everyone.

Doomed Hero here. I had this character ready to go for a game that never got off the ground. I'd love to reprise him.

I deleted his original background because it didn't fit this story, but the mechanics are all there. I gave him Disable Device, so he can fill the scout/trapspringer role if need be.

Please tell me what you think, and what kind of background might work for him to fit him in with your story. I'll adapt him tonight sometime to finalize the submission.

Scar Scale is from a game that never got off the ground. He's a bit of an outsider, raised among humanoids and forced to fight in the fighting pits for their amusement. He's not technically a Kobold. He's an Aasamar who's mortal heritage is Kobold rather than the usual human. (It's an option in the Aasimar rules. I can link it for you if you're curious)

He escaped not long ago and made his way to his own people, but he has no real idea how to be a Kobold. He idolizes dragons, but doesn't really understand Kobold society. He's a freak and he knows it. He has some sort of strange heritage he doesn't understand that makes him feel bad sometimes after he kills things. Also, he has feathers on his head and back, but he plucks them so other Kobolds don't know he's different. He really just wants to have a normal koboldy life, but he's afraid he never will.

I plan on having him become a Dragon Disciple, but for now he's just a barbarian.

I'll re-work Scar Scale to your specifications over the course of the next day or two. For now I just wanted to put him in the running and tweak his backstory to suit this game.

I realize he's not quite within the character generation parameters, but I thought I'd see what you thought of the concept. If you give me the thumbs up on the idea, I'll bring him back down to level one.

Sorry to hear that.

Does that mean the game is off?

Mammals are weird.

Any idea yet when we're going to kick this off?

Since PbPs tend to be slow paced could we start without the others and introduce them once they are ready?

Any word on the other two players?

I fully approve of your initiative system. PbPs are not well suited to the game's usual initiative rules.

GM, can you open up the gameplay thread for us to Dot so the campaign will show up in our Campaigns tab? I don't know how everyone else does things, but for me it's a big convenience.

That is awesome. I'm looking forward to playing the discovery of my sorcerer soul. :)

Reporting in.

Everyone gets their own paladin!

That one was off the scale.

>.<

...suddenly glad I'm playing a lizard.

The important thing is to make it feel like a novel that you would want to read. :)

Bumping this. Any news on the two we're waiting on?

Any chance of opening the discussion thread and maybe talking background stuff while we wait?

Scar-Scale, Kobold Barbarian 3

Born and raised in a fighting pit, this recently freed slave's quest for identy will lead him toward a higher purpose and unlock the potential in his blood.

Sounds like you'll get along great with a certain kobold.

I'm going to bump this. We need more submissions!

Here's a handy guide!

The Skirmisher and Trapper Archetypes don't get spells and are on the SRD.

Not sure if that's what Nightflier meant, but just in case, there's the link.

/walks off to sleep and later to read what indignant means

Someone might be in for a...

...rude awakening.

Ba-dum-tsss.

Likely, yes. He definitely respects scars. He'd at least see (what he perceives as) a kindred spirit.

There are a couple of options that might sound good to you:

One is to be from Leethe, captured at a young age and thrown into the arena for entertainment. To the Leethans, you were nothing but a beast of amusement, born to die. At some point, you made your escape and fled to Midjuric, finding refuge in Tannersmark, perhaps under the kind shelter of Keeper Alton, finding work with Brandy or Melisande or joining the local outpost's force under the Mayor-Captain.

How's this sound-

Scar was hatched in Leethe and pretty much immediately sold to one of the pit-masters.

Scar didn't escape on his own. Someone else escaped, and took him with them (perhaps a PC or NPC who ended up as a prisoner or pit fighter for a time). Scar is a lot like Jet Li in Unleashed. He's barely a person, unable to think of himself without someone to tell him what to do. He has no moral compass or concept of self. He'll learn them, but I want him to start off as more of a blank slate.

At the start of the game he would be quite attached to whoever brought him to Tannersmark and would have likely just arrived. I think of him at the start as almost like another character's animal companion. He's a weapon to be wielded by someone else (at least for now).

A note about languages. There's no 'common', but the local tongue of Tannersmark is Juric. The second most common language in the area is Leethan, due to proximity, then Selian.

Noted and fixed.

(the following questions were answered before Scar became free)

Where did you come from and if not Tannersmark, why did you leave?

"Come from pit. No leave pit. Massster no let."

Who are your parents or whoever raised you and what is your current connection to them?

"What are "parentsss"? Massster raissed. He iss Master."

What led you to your chosen field of work (i.e. class) and how would you like to advance?

"Master ssaid fight or die, sso I fight." Glancing around with a hint of fear in his eyes, the scarred kobold pauses, as if he isn't sure if he should continue. Deciding to take the risk he says. "Outsside. Want that. Dreamss. Alwayss outsside. Sky. Want that."

You have had some prior adventures; what characterises them and what loose ends might catch up with you later?

"Oncse killed giant cat. These scars. Here, and here. Wanted to keep claws. Master no let keep."

How do you feel about the people of Tannersmark and what makes you stay? Is it love, loyalty or something else? Do you have a family here?

"No understand. What isss Tannerssssmark? What isss family?"

How do you feel about the rising tensions between Midjuric and Leethe?

"They other fightersss? Masterss like when fighterss no like each other. Make better fight."

I'd like to submit Scar-Scale, Kobold Barbarian for your consideration.

Scar-Scale is (or was until recently) a gladiatorial slave. I don't know what your take on slavery in this world is like. It could be he was a known fighter in some Colosseum somewhere, or it could be that he's been kept in secret in some pen as part of an illegal underground fighting ring.

Mechanically, I plan on going Dragon Disciple (Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerer)

Thematically, I plan on starting him as barely more than an animal and discovering his "true calling", which will probably be freeing slaves, and through that he will awaken more and more of his draconic heritage.

Personally, I am an extremely reliable and active player with exceptional writing skills. Pick me. You won't be disappointed.

Right now Scar-Scale is built at 1st level. I will have him leveled up before the end of the night.
