molten dragon isnt molten, he's fluffy

4d10 ⇒ (9, 10, 1, 6) = 26
ill take that. mod the 1 to a 5, and i get a total of 30 hps without mods

sounds interesting. perhaps i should uncover my idea of massive damage dealer fighter...

4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 1) = 13 12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 5) = 16 13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 1) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 5) = 10 9
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 6) = 15 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 5) = 18 16

4th level...could make a decent fighter...with access to 3rd edition material. two handed power attack, two handed power strike, using a greathammer. yes, make to make things go Splat.

i would say my books would be core, 3rd edition Feats book by AEG, and i am not sure yet. ill get back to you...

ive read the first dozen entries.... interesting. i like the vibe...

your campaign idea interests me, and i feel compelled to think about creating an expert. perhaps something along the line of a ranged expert.

His jaw hanging open, troy can only stare in wonder at how fast baergar and mumak moved.
Wow...i guess they define Fast

Drawing his falchion, Troy hangs back with the mages, awaiting to strike anything that'll threaten the casters.

oh is that all? just walk in, destroy the phylactory, and then destroy the arch-lich. Oh, and we have what, 25 days to do all this? While we are at it, you want us to jaunt up to Iz and close the tear? Or how bout we go and steal the Starstone? Heck, it would be easier to reach the Starstone, achieve godhood, and then step in and remove the area from this plane all together.
Troy shakes his head, stands and walks to the bar, pouring himself another drink. Taking a long hit, he then stares up into the pseudo-night sky, thinking.
Finally, he turns to Ambrus and says When i get back from this, i get full access to Society's library and all journals. Everything. Even the hidden archives of the Decemvirate.

I go through. I hold a unique set of skills, skills that ive aquired through a long and hard fought career. Skills that are benefitial to you, and a nightmare to those that stand before me. I am resolute toward the end goal, and not even death will stop me from achieving it. Not matter the odds, no matter the foe, i will accomplish the mission and i will not die. I have stared death in the eye more times than a Pharasma worshiper, and each time i deny her my sweet embrace. There are those who embrace death. Death tries to embrace me, and i spur her every time.

im connor mccloud of the clan mccloud. Ive been alive for over 400 years, and i cannot die. I am immortal

This better be good. Troy thinks to himself just before he crosses the threshold.

Shoving the door hard, as if annoyed at the mere presence of the hinderance, Troy comes storming in, his iron shod feet ringing loudly upon the hard floor.

As he walks forward, he looks everyone in the eye, taking their measure and weighing each one, assessing them. Finally complete with looking at the others, he presents himself to ambrus.

This had better be good, ambrus. you know what i was searching for out in the sandhill regions. To call me back like that isnt exactly pleasent for either of us. Troy gruffs out before returning his attention to those present.
I am Troy Mcclure. He says to everyone, before walking off and grabbing some food and drink.

don't thank me yet, it's only going to get worse =D

my goal is to give your soul the elbow drop.

Bring it.

hmmm...looks like a malrith attacking

ive updated my character with a background and a connection to the pathfinder society.

updated my pc...still a work in progress, but i am submitting a 20th level figher unbreakable...

im glad someone picked up on it...

so do i.
i think i can pull it off...

gonna use this avatar...havent pulled it out in ages

awwwwwwww :(
ill come up with something then....

ip violations??? im confused.

think of troy mcclure from the simpsons...before harman's death

hi there, Troy McClure here, volunteering for this gladitorial arena. you may remember me from those classic stories of spike chain, meat head!,Mr. Mace says hello! and the crowds favorite what can't you do with baking powder?. Ill be here for a spell, winning over the hearts of the crowd, stealing the ladies virtues, and taking the lives of would be contenders.

swirling his cape, he bows to the roaring applause that emmenates from the crowd.

im rather behind in my pathfinder book buying's. i only have the core rule book, the bestiary, and that is it. so i have heard of the word magic, but thats it.

sorry. looks like i lost a chunk of my post.

i am looking to pull the class from WOT to pathfinder setting. So, update the character to pathfinder standards, but introduce him and his channeling casting ability into the pathfinder setting.

for example, how would a channeler handle a ring of wizardry level 1. should it be like it is out of the book, doubling all castings? Or make it into a tame angreal, giving him a +1 to channel?
i used the above because it was asked to me...

so how would you create said character for use in a pathfinder setting. I have a person in my group requesting that very idea. Ive cruised the archives, and majority of postings are for updating the info but keeping the channeler in the WOT area.

Ok, so i decided to throw in the books of vile darkness and exalted deeds, i, the gm using the vile, and the PCs using exalted. well, one character died and created a monk who has taken the vows of poverty, nonviolence and peace. from what hes told me about stats, and with the exalted bonus' to AC, he is Rocking a 38 to armor class. and, hes only 4th level.

did i just shoot myself in the foot with this one or do the exalted bonuses NOT stack?

help!!!

so, we had an awesome game on sunday, july 11. the party went below the glassworks in search of a book written by tutso keijutso. upon finding the book, the party decided to go below to the catacombs to hunt down the demon creature and nullify the threat from below. unfortunetly, things turned into an extended stalemate, with her retreating into the chambers, the party in pursuit. encountering fierce opponents, with pathetic hits from the demon, the party is forced to the surface with the discovery of a large room that was previously filled with wooden walkway was set to the torch, and the area quickly filled with horrific black smoke. the party ran up to the surface, feeling fresh air upon their faces. with the new intel, they head to the cathedral for some special healing to counter the effects of a poisoness bite.

hey kurt, its all yours. thought id be able to make this work but alas, life rears its ugly head and says NO! gotta move the family back home from this accursed area of america...

looks like a good read though....although i personally find it hard to believe that a guy carries a machette with him at all times...

the man in the wheel chair shakes mikes hand and grins.
you bet theres a sporting goods store here in the mall. sheer stroke of luck that it hasnt been locked down yet. plenty of bats and shoes and outdoor equipment for the survivalist. course, on the plus side, there is a sizeable gun department. shotguns, rifles, handguns and ammo. and further down the way is collectable sword shop. has all sorts of... he trails off as his gaze turns to stare past you.oh, f@&%. he says with a leaded voice.

you snap your head around and see a minivan barreling down the driving lot with its windows smashed out. you can easily see the driver; she looks to be screaming her head off as you see a child-sized creature pull her head back and take a huge chunk out of her neck..
judging from the speed and path of the van, you think itll hit into the microbrew in about 5 seconds unless someone does something.

ok. well keep it simple, use the dice roller and have it roll a 1d20. who ever gets the high score will go first and so on. but at the same time post in what your doing so when i get all the responses, ill make a post about what happens

I want to appologize to you guys if it seems that I've been trying to push you. I grew up roleplaying on play by post sites where it was uncommon to not get at least 3-4 posts per person in a given thread, and there often were 4 or 5 threads going for any one person at once.

you grew up with play by post rpgs??? gee, how old are you?

No, nothing like that. However, as a far superior being, I am not unmoved by the needs of lesser beings. If you require a target for your faith, I might be convinced to make myself available, for the appropriate amount of hookers and blow.

funny... for a guy who claims to be unmoved by the needs of lesser beings, you sure are asking for 2 out of the 3 basic desires...hookers, blow, and booze being the three.... BAZINGA!!!!

to court fool

damn...this is random.... and here i thought this guy was posting a message about starting a warhammer 40k religion...

a machette? really?

basic overview of the mall...fox river mall map
where you three have come in is through the entrance found at area B, where the arrow is. the front area is given over to the food court. rows and rows of tables and chairs fill the inner area, with evenly dispersed trash cubicles dispersed. if your standing at that entrance, looking to the left is a microbrew with the mash and evaporator and other brewing neccesities. the entire front of this area is triple plated thermal glass, very good at keeping heat in (gotta love those cold wisconsin winters!) and keeping out the harsh winds. there are 8 double wide doors set along the front.
looking straight ahead and up, you will see a 2nd floor, filled with offices and 10 tables and sets of chairs, with a banister made out of steel cable and metal poles. to the farther back you see 2 hallways, one branching to the left that goes down a slight ramp where you just make out an orangeish red glow. the other one branches to the right, and it appears to go deeper into the mall.

you see other people sitting down or leaning against the steel support girders. a cop stands against the door, pistol in his hand. a very frightened mature woman (cougar comes to mind) stands behind him, holding his collapsible night stick in her hand, quivering at a fast pace. you see a new family, man hovering over his wife or girlfriend while she breastfeeds their newborn. off to the microbrewery you see about 6 youths, looking to be around 14 yrs old, 4 male and 2 female, trying to look intimidating but failing miserably. they hold bricks and pipes and a couple bats.
the real surprise is seeing a man in a wheelchair roll up to you and offer his hand to you
hey there, tex! mighty find driving, being able to gun that iron horse of yours into the front door just as it closes. now i heard your name is kasperlooking at kasper and giving a nod but i didnt catch your name. or maybe i should just call you evil kenevil?
looking back out the way you came, you can make out movement across the far parking lot and street into the other outlet stores...

the mall you easily find. there are some police cars at the roads, doors hanging open, lights on and flashing, but no one to be seen. off to the right side you see a small gas station with a neon sign that glares "BEER! FOOD! GAS!". further down the road, after a couple curves, you see ahead of you the mall. its big! its massive. a sprawling momument to modern consumerism.
at the main entrance, you see a couple of hummers parked on the curb, just a scant 10 feet from the doors, but, there again there is no one there...

oh god no! these guys are impervious to all modern weapons!! you will need swords, axes, bows and arrows, crossbows, faith in a patron diety and a change of armor to combat these zombies...

lmfao!! nah, just messing. this who idea is based off of "DAWN OF THE DEAD". the remake, not the original, lots of shotguns blowing limbs and heads off.

that said, you have to be honest about what you have on your person. a handgun cuz you have a carriers permit ill buy, but "i always have my 12 guage shotgun in my trunk at all times cuz of X reason" isnt a viable option.

so come up with a doppleganger of yourself, write out what is in your vehicle as of this moment, and then go to the PBP link and fill out how your guy reacts...

so we have 4 so far...

jarl, what gear do you have on you at this precise moment. see mike W for a good description.

and wisconsin is all about the open carry...

The infestation started small. weird reports of people taking to cannibalism have been filtering through the news media for the past few months, prompting you to think "damn hippies." but suddenly the newspapers, the internet news feeds, the tv is screaming with "not human", "undead arising", "feasting of the flesh", "the end times" and so on. first to fall are the large cities, LA, NYC, DC, Chicago, Mexico city, London, Moscow, cairo; anyplace that has held a densly populated people has severely been decimated by the outbreak. doctors call it a virus, a plague; priests and holy men say gods retribution, but they all agree, whatever this thing is, it is vicious.
flyers circulate among the masses telling you about how to avoid being bitten, avoid fluid contamination.
governments have taken extreme measures to stop the spread. russia nuked st. petersburg to stop the infestation. it didnt help. china used napalm to burn hong kong in an attempt to destroy it. NK used the threat of plague as an excuse to launch an attack on SK, employing the tactic of dropping infected service members over miltary bases and the cities to ravish the morale. all it did was spread faster.
australia has closed off its borders, sinking anything that attempts to cross the boundry. word of mouth says that it is a safe haven from the plague, but that info is weeks old.

you are in the heartland of america, in the state of wisconsin, in the city of appleton for whatever reason has brought you to this city. whether it is for business or fun, you have been quickly told of the fox river mall. not a big one compaired to NYC or LA, but it has a nice quaint feel to it.
due to the remoteness of the city, it is one of the last few places in the mainland to experience the plague. refugees have flocked to this safe haven, turning it from homey city to run-down real fast.

your day begins like a normal day, get up, dress for the day, grab a bite to eat for breakfast when suddenly, standing in front of you is disease ridden creature itself. it just seems to be just staring off into space, and the only reason you know it has the virus is that its missing its lower jaw and its tongue is hanging like a panting dogs on a hot summer day...

get your character from wherever it is you are in the city to the mall. i choose this city cuz i grew up here, so i know it really well. i encourage you to google the city and the mall so you have a basic idea as to what the area is like.

mr. j, what do you have equipment wise? see above if you have any questions.

remember too gents that there are skills out there instead of carpentry, ie welding, mechanic, machinist, plumbing, architect, game designer, computer repair guy, aerospace engineer... you see what im saying? dont just limit yourself to carpentry. if you dont know carpentry, ok, but be sure to mention skill set a, b, c and so on.

so the count is up to three. im gonna start the thread for the campaign and have everyone who posts on this to introduce their character by explaining what they were doing when the zombie threat increased....

SWALLOW THE BLUE PILL

Hi there, im troy mcclure. you might remember me from my more famous movies like "when zombies arise", "zombies after breakfast", and the award winning "i cannot believe its not ZOMBIES!". i am delivering this important message because i like this idea and im under contract.
For the month of october, to celebrate the spooky month, i am hosting a zombie-riffic RPG PbP here on the board. This is based off of the remake "DAWN OF THE DEAD", the one with the survivors staying in the mall and fighting off the zombie infestation taking over the world.

what i need from you is simple. make up a character loosely based off of yourself. height, weight, body description must be detailed very well, down to what exactly you were wearing at the start of the zombie uprising.
here is the tricky part, what you know and can do. sure, there is a plethora of RPG's that are set in the modern age and get rules for listing your skills and areas of expertise. i am trying to get away from that and do this free form, because from personal experience i have learned it is next to impossible to list everything you know how to do. so keep it broad on the character, but be ready to explain your answer when called upon (ie you claim that you know carpentry. the problem: how would you reinforce the doublewide door to keep them from opening from outside forces yet easy enough for you to pop open in an emergency?)

so, if your up for this, throw up a post. im not limiting the number of people who can get in on this, but i am saying that the first 12 people (or sunday night, whichever comes first) will be the group that safely made it inside the mall. Others will have to RP there way through the horde and into the mall....

FOR MORE INFO KILL ZOMBIES

ok. sounds good. make sure to post it in your character profile, cuz we'll be referencing it down the road.

same goes with you virvar, post your equip in yoru char profile.

now we need to get some more hits with this...

well think about how it begins in the movie. the hot blonde chick had to haul ass out of her house barefoot and only had her car keys. so think of your daily routine and pick a spot where you are suddenly face to face with your first encounter with zombies. it could be while your out getting groceries, getting gas, taking a jog...anything.

and the only way ill allow a person to have a firearm on them is either A) he is a mountain man that came out of the hills to trade in his furs for gold.
b) a cop/military. (youd have to prove it.)

ill give you guys the benifit of the doubt. if its close to what i think it is, ill leave it. if its way off, then ill adjust....

WOW! that is exactly what im looking for. now just make a new avatar and name him and your good to go....

side note... im not using any base rules for character creation, and im goiing to make it real basic when it comes to combat. baseline is 50/50, either you know it, or you dont. but either way, you can still make the attempt.
for example...
Captain obvious has never been in a fight his entire life. but suddenly hes facing a zombie that wants to rip his head off. he tries to kick the thing in the chest to knock to the ground. id have him roll a d20, 11 up he kicks him down. 10 or less, he misses (roll a 1, obvious fumble, bad juju).
general observation is a 5th degree black belt. she has been doing it since she was 5. with the increase in knowledge that comes with the skill, ill say that she has a 80% chance to hit the zombie in the chest. so as long as she rolls above a 4, she is good to go.

same thing can be applied to all other actions.

IF YOU WANT ZOMBIES, GO HERE IF YOU DARE!

if your reading this first post, then you are interested in a ZOMBIE RPG.

go here for details....
