I wanted to say to the GM that the backstory in my profile is intended as a broad overview, and that you can freely add details or other incidents to it. It's very deliberately vague, the better to keep Alvar a mystery to me.
This may go without saying, but I wanted to be sure to make it clear.
I might throw my hat in here. I have Alvar the Wayfarer, a tiefling Eldritch Mythos Scholar. I'll need to fill out the majority of the mechanics, though, so I'll get on that when I have the chance.
Possibly thinking about a full orc oracle who's driven to create a place where his people can live relatively safely alongside the "civilized" ancestries, assuming that orcs are permitted.
Definitely. It's gonna be tough for them to decide.
... mind you, I've had Agak planned for awhile - initially he was a full orc Ancestors Oracle for 2e, but I've adjusted him to better suit 1e. We'll see how he ends up!
@Azure_Zero- Sorry no 3p content, that includes 3.5 stuff
@Sensen- Yes, you can retrain by spending the time/gold to do so. I also allow a free retcon between 1st and 2nd level if you find something that's just not working.
Great to hear! Thanks for your prompt response. I think I'm (mostly) done with Agak, though I'll probably do some expansion on appearance, goals, personality, etc.
I introduce to you Agak the Visionary, whose backstory and equipment are yet to be complete (and he needs a feat), but should be hammered out before the deadline.
I might also swap his spirit to Battles or Tribe. Not sure yet.
Hm, I'm tempted to go with a half-orc (or possibly full orc, but likely half-orc) shaman who's orc-raised and wants to make a place for orcs to not be treated as monsters. I'll have to think on it a bit.
Speaking as a GM myself, I don't know if I could juggle another big AP, but RotRL is one of the ones I might want to do. Along with Kingmaker for 2e...
I'm still debating on whether to drop multitalented for something or, failing that, whether to give Kemras a different class to multiclass into, potentially... probably something for if he gets selected.
Here's an RP sample from Kemras' previous campaign. And this is a touch of my Hooded Knight discussing the future of the kingdom he and his allies were founding.
1. What time zone are you in?
I'm in GMT-5, or EST/EDT.
2. How long have you been playing TTRPGs?
I've been playing TTRPGs for nearly two decades now, and am running a couple games on these very forums.
3. What's your favorite part about playing TTRPGs?
Roleplaying - I love being a part of a story with other people and helping to collaboratively create an interesting narrative.
4. What do you expect from this game?
I'm hoping for interesting PCs, NPCs, and fun character interactions.
5. What do you expect out of your fellow players?
Courtesy, engagement, and roleplaying.
6. What do you expect out of me?
Consistent posting, great characters as I've read some of your games in the past, and a fun time.
7. (If you don't want this to be public, PM me the answer to this one and just note that you did so.) Beyond the obvious (generally stuff already prohibited by Paizo's forum rules,) what are your redlines? Are there any topics, themes, or imagery that you absolutely do not want to see in the game?
I don't think there's anything that jumps out at me as being really triggering other than the general Paizo forum rules. I'm a little grossed out by eye trauma, but I can deal with that so long as it's not too graphic.
Would the Magnimarian ruins - the bridge, in particular - qualify? I can make that more explicit, but otherwise I can have him stumble across some other Thassilonian ruins on one of his journeys.
Kemras is finished! A half-elf Varisian who's an archeologist and historian. Currently an Investigator with the Antiquarian archetype, he's possibly going into Bard (archeologist) for later. I did take the story feat Truth-Seeker, if that's alright with you, GM.
I once used Kemras for another instance of this AP, so I've revamped him. However, he still needs equipment, and I need to do some answering for your various questions.
Hm, I wasn't really expecting the door to take so long. I guess she doesn't have Power Attack like Merixia does and was only attacking one-handed.
Or your GM just forgot that those were options. That would be silly, though. I didn't even think to check her for Power Attack.
Mind you, she probably wouldn't have dropped her shield, but the power attack thing is entirely legitimate.
I think your read on the wands and touch spells is correct - if it's a touch spell that affects an object, it might go off, but other than that, it should be fine.
Anyways, I'll try to figure out all the math going on when everyone's posted. Assuming my migraine doesn't stop me from trying.
I'm thinking of maybe doing an Emancipated background Halfling of some sort. I may bow out if I get accepted to another game, but at the moment that's my plan.
I went back and forth for a while but I've decided on Moogle.
So, ya know what BASE class has NO racial archetypes? You guessed it, Necromancer. Ya can't say that it's because it's so very very t3h EVULZ because Dark Knight gets tons of love.
So finding a race that works well is, well, hard. But it seems like Moogles are just custom made for Necros.
Coincidence?
Now I'm just reminded of the Organization XIII moogle from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
I'm not sure two archetypes is "tons of love," but I take your point. :P
