Shaundakul's page

I haven't created my profile yet, but I will later tonight. All of a sudden the last two days I'm having trouble with Paizo's site at work. It's not blocked, but takes a very long time to load, and this rather difficult to do from my phone. My email is shaundakulprg@gmail.com

I'm using google docs in the game I'm hosting. You actually have the option of making the docs available by link, so you don't necessarily need everyone's email address. DM Keddah I do want to ask a couple of questions offline if you can email me.

While nicer, it still is not as navigable as d20pfsrd.com and stuff is still initially sorted by book first instead of by what you are looking for first and book last, or with book as an additional beginning reference point instead of the only one.

ie. I want to play a Bard - Core Rulebook>Classes>Bard
But what archetypes are available to me? You go through every released book and look for archetypes for Bards. Never mind spells.

I have to agree with Cartigan on this one. When I click on Bard, I should see every archetype available. When I click on Bard Spells, it should list all spells from every official source book. It makes more sense than organizing by book.

I'll use the same back story, and Felina ends up in Pitax at the shortly before this begins.

I present Felina. I didn't include the centipede companion as it wasn't an option in HeroLab for some reason.

Rather than add Dabble for this game, I have an idea for a Druid of Ghlaunder, that I'll stat up and post later.

I'd prefer the Kingmaker campaign, but if not, I could modify Dabble's history to fit into this campaign as well.

I would like to submit a Gnome Rogue. I plan on multclassing into Sorcerer and then Arcane Trickster.

I would love to do any, but Curse of the Crimson Throne seems the most fund to me.

Presenting Grandabbleberry "Dabble" Nimblefingers, Rogue extraordinaire:

Do the rules actually allow you to qualify for a feat based on an item in your possesion? It seems to me if you lost said item, you would lose access to the feat which seems wierd. I would house rule that you need to have the abiility score unmodified to qualify for a feat.

Dotting for interest. Dwarven Rogue or Fighter.

Dolum would like to throw his hat in the ring. Dolum has been traveling for several years now and he finds himself in Brevoy contemplating a the possibility of an expedition to Numeria, or perhaps to the Observatory. In any event any interesting tales of ancient locked, trapped and warded locations will draw him like a moth to the flame.

** spoiler omitted **

Are you in any other play by post games?

I forgot about the GMG. I think I have a download of that. I looked through the NPC Guide already, but it was more specific than what I was looking for.
Thanks.

I've decided that I'm going to have everyone on the same boat heading to a city, something will happen along the way that will force them to work together, and then we'll work from there. Most likely after they arrive at their destination, they will be thanked for their helped and hired to take care of another problem.

I do find this thread quite interesting, and I think others will get a lot of new ideas from it, so maybe we should keep it going.

Is there anywhere to find some pre-made encounters? By that, I mean something like a group of bandits to place against a level 1 party. Not adventure sites. I seem to remember seeing this in one of the books somewhere but can't for the life of me find it.

Any other ideas?

It's about seven (six and a half with a map) pages long to the ISWG's three pages (two half-pages with images and two full pages), and there is some degree of overlap. The ISWG focuses more on adventure sites on the map, while the Brevoy gazetteer focuses a bit more on culture, including paragraph-length writeups on the seven major noble houses of Brevoy, for instance.

Cool. Thanks.

I haven't purchased the Stolen Lands book in the Kingmaker AP, but I read there is a gazeteer of Brevoy in it. How does that compare to the one in the Inner Sea World Guide? Is it worth purchasing just for that section if I want to start a campaign set in Brevoy?
Thanks for any info.

For Aroden to return. First he had to be away.

A god is truely not away if his preists still get hteir spells and powers.

So for Aroden to "Return" he had to set it up so he would not be "present" for a while. Unfortunately, something went wrong.

I'm pretty sure all of the campaign materials say his priests don't get spells.

I think Aroden was trying to do something monumental and messed up causing the Eye of Abendego. He gave up his divinity because of his error, and is now the Hermit that sits on the isle known as The Hermitage, watching the Eye.

How do you start a new campaign? Assuming first level characters, what is the best way to bring characters together? Whether you create your own adventure or use premade, how do you guide the characters to the prepared adventure? Do you ever just wing it?

dotting for interest. Will work something up tonight or tomorrow.

I will submit a character later today.

While Galt seem interesting, I think I'm more interested in Brevoy.

For those of you that run your own campaign in Galorian, where do you run it and why? I'm thinking of starting a campaign and am just curious as to what others are doing.

What led Xandrel from searching for his mysterious father to adventuring? Is he building wealth to fund his search? Is he hoping that danger will somehow help him find his father's trail?

How does Xandrel feel about his new-found magical superpowers? Has this changed him in anyway (either consciously or unconsciously)? When Xandrel ran home to ask his mother how was their reunion? Heartfelt? Cold and distant? Full of regret?

When Xandrel's powers first manifested, he felt scared as he thought it was confirmation of demonic heritage. Once he discovered the nature of his father he began to understand. As his powers have grown he has become more confidant, and has channeled that confidence into strength.

Xandrel went to his real mother to obtain information regarding his father. She thought he had died, and didn't appear at all happy that he was alive. She told him his father's name, and said the last she heard he was heading towards Kyonin. When saying his name a flash of regret crossed her face.

Xandrel hooked up with a group of adventurers because he could not afford the trip to Kyonin on his own. Kyonin is where he discovered his father's penchant for space travel. However, his father had not been seen in over a decade. On his quest he discovered a love of adventuring. He feels he is advancing the goals of Desna as well as his own knowledge of the world at large. He also hopes for some hint as to his father's whereabouts but knows the chances are thin.

Here is Xandrel. In combat he is an arcane force. Most of his spells are combat oriented. If he feels he doesn't need spells, he will resort to using his crossbow. Out of combat, he uses his personality to charm, and bluff if needed.

I have finished all except purchasing equipment. The character was done with HeroLab, so numbers should all work out.

Dotting. Will submit something tonight.

I've decided I'm going to go with a Halfling Verdant Sorcerer. I'll work it up and post in couple of hours.

Dotting for interest. Thinking some kind of sorcerer.

First off, there's no need to be a Ghawn. It's just a hook for anyone who wants it.

Secondly, a Ghawn could still become an inquisitor of Pharasma, sure! You're the goody-two-shoes of the family who went off and joined the church. We still love you all the same, though.

(Also note that goody-two-shoes is relative. Or maybe not true at all. We just call you The Rev because you're family.)

I was actually just thinking I was wrong. She is the eldest child and quite frankly the most human looking. She left the family and joined the church planning to pass as human, but couldn't quite make it. The church was accepting of her, but not the people they ministered to. Due to her "condition" of not looking quite human, she was taken under the wing of an elderly cleric and taught to be an undead hunter for the church.

Based on the concept of the Half-Orc family, I'm not going to go with the inquisitor of Pharasma, but still an inquisitor, deity to be determined. I just can't think of a good concept for Pharasma with this.

Ooh, maybe we should all be siblings from the same family! That'll make for a great reason we're all together!

Though it could make the heirloom item more difficult. However, a true half-orc family (ie half-orc mother and father) where the parents were adventurers could easily provide the heirloom, as they would most likely have a large stash of stuff.

Any rules as to the heirloom item?

Ah, the all half-Orc party. I'm thinking of a sorcerer. I'll post more tonight after my work shift.

Hmm. Wasn't originally thinking Half-orc (Hadn't really considered race at all), but could be interesting.

I'd like to express interest as well. I was thinking an Inquisitor or Cleric of Pharasma. I'll see what I can come up with and post later this evening. I am PST.

My user name is aldo Shaundakul on Obsidian. For the introductory post, is that going to be us meeting up together, with the new party or something else. I think we should assume the three of us ventured out together. Any opinions?

I'm going to play a wizard. I will read up a little on the campaign when I get home and make a final decision, but I think I'm going to go with a Dwarf and specialize in Abjuration.

I'm interested in joining. I haven't DM'd Pathfinder yet or a pbp for that matter, but am willing to give it a go. I'm not sure yet on a character concept. I'm at work, so don't really have time for a character concept this moment. If I think of something I will post again. I assume you've moved on to the APG for character creation. Let me know if there is still a space available.

This sounds interesting. Perhaps an inquisitor of Abadar. I'll work up something tonight, and post. How many people are looking for?

Darkmeer, Did you get my email regarding the Windwalker prestige class?

Since we're pretty warrior heavy, I've decided to amend my concept. I am now going to do a Cleric/Windwalker of Shaundakul, though my first level will be as a ranger in order to get the appropriate class skills for the prestige class. I should have a character posted late tonight or sometime tomorrow.

It may take me a day or two to get mine done, but by Thursday should be no problem. I'm still trying to decide between Human and Half-elf and tinkering with the idea of an Air Genasi.

If there is still room. I'd like to play a Ranger/Windwalker of Shaunakul. Shocking I know, considering my user name.

1. Forgotten Realms (Pre 4th, I hate that they changed so much just to fit the Dragonborn in)
2. Wheel of Time
3. Galorian
4. Star Wars
5. Greyhawk

Shaundakul! Awesome. I thought I was the only fan of the Forgotten Realms Travel God! His specialty priest was one of the first things I tried out in 2e when I got the Faiths & Avatars book.

He was definitely one of my favorite, though I was always thought his alignment was off. They sure did write him to come across more good than neutral in my opinion.

Character submitted. LN Dwarven Wizard(Conjurer)

I would be interested in joining your game if your sixth player doesn't show up. I'll look at the rules and come up with a character concept and post tonight or tomorrow night. I haven't yet played Star Wars Saga, but have looked through the books some.
