Dotting like crazy. I haven't done much with melee characters, so I'll probably roll one of the ones in heavier armor up. Gonna flip through the player's guide before I commit to anything.


Is the plan to post character ideas/concepts in this thread, or will new recruitment threads for all three be made? All of them sound interesting.


I would definitely be interested in a Jade Regent game. That said, you may want to try a module first; I know a few people who thought they would really like PbPs, but burnt out on them within a month or two. A module, at least, will let you know if PbPs are right for you.

They're pretty awesome if they are, though.


I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of this one. Best of luck in the arena, everyone!

SRD =/= PRD. Everything on the PRD is fine, but a lot of the SRD content is 3PP, which is not all ok. If the snag net is a straight upgrade of the net, then I most likely wouldn't allow it.

The snag net is from the Advanced Race Guide, so it is still Paizo material. It is almost entirely an improvement over the normal net, with the trade-off that it is a two-handed weapon. Whether or not the player can draw a second weapon once the net is already thrown would be up to the GM, of course, but the player would be unable to hold the net and another weapon at the same time, barring, say, a vestigal arm or prehensile tail.

Anyroad, my fluff will be coming tomorrow. Still trying to pin down Svala's "voice" as a character.


Svala (Brawler) is mostly done. I still need to figure out her items, and I'm planning on writing a short back story for her. In the meantime, let me know if anything needs fixing.

Description:

Svala is exceptionally tall, and powerfully built. Her nose has a slight crook to it, a sign that it has been broken and magically healed several times. Traces of scars etch her face and body in a criss-cross pattern of small lines. A light scar across the left side of cheek gives impression that she is permanently smirking. Svala has the typical mud-colored hair and eyes of the Ulfen, and the matching light-skinned complexion. Her gait is often quickened, as if she is always trying to arrive at her destination ahead of anyone else.

Brawler's Cunning (Ex)
If the brawler's Intelligence score is less than 13, it counts as 13 for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats.

Martial Flexibility (Ex)
A brawler can take a move action to gain the benefit of a combat feat she doesn't possess. This effect lasts for 1 minute. The brawler must meet all the feat's prerequisites. She may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + 1/2 her brawler level (Currently 4).

The brawler can use this ability again before the duration expires in order to replace the previous combat feat with another choice.

If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (such as Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat while using this ability count toward that feat's daily limit.

Martial Training (Ex)
At 1st level, a brawler counts her total brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. She also counts as both a fighter and a monk for feats and magic items that have different effects based on whether the character has levels in those classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk's robe). This ability does not automatically grant feats normally granted to fighters and monks based on class level, namely Stunning Fist.

Unarmed Strike
At 1st level, a brawler gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A brawler may attack with fists, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a brawler may make unarmed strikes with her hands full. A brawler applies her full Strength modifier (not half ) on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.

Usually, a brawler's unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.

A brawler's unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that modify either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.

Currently 1d6

Brawler's Flurry (Ex)
Starting at 2nd level, a brawler can make a brawler's flurry as a full-attack action. When doing so, a brawler has the Two-Weapon Fighting feat when attacking with any combination of unarmed strikes, weapons from the close fighter weapon group, or weapons with the "monk" special feature. She does not need to use two different weapons to use this ability.

A brawler applies her full Strength modifier to her damage rolls for all attacks made with brawler's flurry, whether the attacks are made with an off-hand weapon or a weapon wielded in both hands. A brawler can substitute disarm, sunder, and trip combat maneuvers for unarmed attacks as part of brawler's flurry. A brawler with natural weapons can't use such weapons as part of brawler's flurry, nor can she make natural weapon attacks in addition to her brawler's flurry attacks.

At 8th level, the brawler gains use of the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat when using brawler's flurry. At 15th level, she gains use of the Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat when using brawler's flurry.

Leveling Over Time:

Svala will be run straight brawler. I’m planning on taking some of the Improved Sunder feats, and possibly the Improved Dirty Trick ones as well. She will definitely take Pummeling Charge at level 8; the rest of the feats are fairly flexible, as Martial Flexibility eliminates some of the need for maneuver feats.
