Tor runs a hand through the fur under his muzzle, pondering their situation. "I am not familiar with this area," he says to Quassine, a look of frustration heavy on his brow. "Before we go anywhere, we need to be perfectly clear about what we will do from here on out. There are too many of us, and this situation has too many unknowns, for us to simply wander off in hope of a lead."
Tor frowns as the others ignore his question, too engrossed with finding food. Crossing his arms, he coughs to get their attention. "Surely a group of this size has at least one member capable of foraging or hunting. Is there really any need for all this worry?"
Tor blinks as his senses return to him, slowly looking around to get a handle of his surroundings. Realizing his companions are nearby, the gnoll approaches them with quiet steps. "That was most disconcerting. How are the rest of you?" he asks in a guttural voice, his red eyes darting between the others.
Dotting.
Just a nitpick, Choant, the Warder archetype is called "Dervish Defender". :)
I vote sooner than later, just because the longer the wait, the more I will think about tweaks to my submission, and the more indecisive I will become about it. I agree with this. I've pretty much nailed down what I want with Tor, but the longer I go the more I will want to fiddle with things for no real reason. D:
Fine, then. Tor's a Jackal Gnoll now. :P
Hyenas are still dogs! Just like dingos and wolves and other assorted canines!
I'm excited to play a dancing firecat with a sword...
The thought process for Tor was
That said, with a triple gestalt, you're gonna run into action economy issues between your classes. It's pretty much impossible to pick a class that doesn't do SOMETHING (except maybe like, fighter?).
Alright, I've gone over Tor once more and I'm pretty sure I've got all his crunch finalized to a place I like it. I feel like the Metal Mystery isn't exactly the flavor I'm looking for, but it's the closest option to what I want after reading through the others. I'm ready for you to pick him to pieces, CaveToad. :)
Arcane Trickster's main point is to Sneak Attack with spells that don't have attack rolls (like Fireball!). Rays and other spells that make attack rolls absolutely can do Sneak Attack damage, but they need to meet all the normal requirements.
I hope we have psionics unlocked by the time we get our cheese level, because I want to get a free level of Aegis. :3 It's like if they made a Synthesist but didn't decide to duct-tape the archetype it to a ridiculous spell caster class.
I don't think you even can take Feral Combat Training more than once, as it lacks the Special that would normally allow it.
Monk always got Perception and Stealth. D:
I actually do mine up in a fillable PDF character sheet (which you can actually see here) and then transfer everything by hand into the form you see in my profile. I tend to catch most mistakes that way. :)
Changed Tor's spells around a little bit and gave his falcata a name (Order's Edge!). I will probably fiddle with little bits like this until specifically told to stop. D:
Tor's highly unlikely to go specifically Evil (he may lean that way at some points, but he's Lawful before anything). Oracle is likely popular because Oracles are cool as all get out. :D
Just saying, Greebins, but this is a perfect chance to have your character communicate entirely through cat image macros. ;)
Yeah, that sounds reasonable enough. In other news, I believe I've finished my simple backstory/personality/appearance stuff. I think Tor is 100% ready to go. :)
That was another question I was interested in, because gnolls also have the xenophobic language deal. I have 14 Int, though, so I can take Common normally. :3
Oh right, that reminds me. So apparently Gnolls are considered adults at like 8 years old? That seems kind of crazy, so I just ended up making Tor 20. That would technically make him middle aged! by normal Gnoll standards, so is it okay to just handwave that little bit of silliness?
Okay, Seranov here, and I think crunch is done for Tor. You can find his stat block in this profile. I moved some stuff down a bit because it didn't fit into the normal stat block I use, but it should remain easy enough to view. Background and all that should be coming in the next few days. I've got a rough idea but putting all the crunch together has left my brain demanding a break. D:
Sasun stands outside of the tent, keeping watch, feeling that it is too small for his large frame.
Sasun rolls his eyes behind his mask at the little man, changing the grip on his staff so he can rest his weight on it. The Gnoll does not move to leave, but raises himself to his full imposing height, a gesture that clearly reads 'I'm not leaving until we are done here.'
Sasun nods to second Garen's request. He crosses his arms, his weapon nestled in the crook of his right arm. The Gnoll appears prepared to defend himself, even in this situation.
Sasun carefully observes the guard as the others speak with him, standing back behind the others. His green eyes glint behind his mask as he maintains a watchful vigil.
Sasun nods at the woman's suggestions. "That will be most helpful. We shall depart now, then," he says, standing and bowing politely to Reira. He finishes the motion, then turns to the others and asks, "Shall we start with the city guard or this 'Rise' fellow?"
Roger. Hope you enjoyed your away time. ;)
Sasun nods deeply when Reira finishes her explanation. "I shall assist you in this task," the Gnoll says, eyes full of interest behind his mask. "As we are new to this city, do you believe there are any places that would be good to begin our search in?"
Growling in frustration as the gremlin evades his blow, Sasun moves to follow and lay low the creature once again. His eyes seem to spark behind his mask, and he swings the weapon once again with all his might.
Fair enough. Enjoy your mini-vacation!
After dispatching the first gremlin, Sasun moves to strike the second one down. "This box has proven to be far more trouble than I had expected," the Gnoll grumbles as he moves to catch the remaining creature.
OOC: It's listed as +4 on the bar below your name, and then again as +2, that's probably what LF looked at.
Female Human Elemental Sorcerer 1/Oracle of Heaven 1 [ HP: 8/8 | AC:12 T:12 FF:10 | F: +0 R: +2 W:+3 | Init +4 | CMB +0 CMD +12 | Init +2, Perception +5]
Smiling beneath his mask as the puzzle is completed, Sasun's calm enthusiasm is turned to annoyance when two small creatures appear from the inside of the box. The Gnoll grabs his staff once the gremlins begin tearing up the inside of the room. With careful, practiced movements, he strikes out at one of the little hellraisers with his weapon.
Sasun ponders the solution as well, going over permutations in his head while leaning against a wall. His large, hunched-over form looks rather strange, so absorbed is he in his thinking.
Sasus nods at Garen. "Veigar's guess of the answer being a sort of anagram is highly likely. This narrows the options significantly," the Gnoll says, before returning to his thinking stance.
Nodding genially to the two women as they are introduced to him, the Curator of the Sands watches them with an impassive gaze as they speak. Leaning lightly on his quarterstaff, the Gnoll looks only vaguely interested until the paradox box is mentioned. Though none of the others can see it, his mouth forms into an enthusiastic smile beneath his ornate mask. Sasun reads over the notes carefully, the puzzle box very clearly piquing his interest. While the others discuss it, he strokes his mask's chin, deep in thought. This is quite intriguing indeed, he thinks to himself, his green eyes flashing in delight.
S'alright. Not to sound whiny, but a little warning would be nice next time. It's a bad feeling to think your DM has ditched you. I will gladly notify you if I will be indisposed for any reason, because I know it must suck on the other side of the DM screen, as well. :)
Sasun shrugs lightly and waves a hand dismissively, before taking another sip from his mug. "We shall see how things turn out, indeed," the Gnoll states in his calm voice.
Sasun chuckles softly. "I do not expect you to understand my centuries-old task, not as wrapped up as you are in this moment. Tomorrow will always come, even if I am not there to see it," he states, punctuating the sentence with a draw from his mug of wine.
Sasun shakes his head between tastes of his stew. "You think too small, Veigar. If no one collects knowledge, then it will never be remembered. Without recalling the past, people are doomed to repeat it's mistakes," the Gnoll says, before taking a sip from his mug. "It is not just my duty, but also my goal to make sure that the mistakes of the past are not made again. The Cycle of Life and Death continues, but I will do all I can, within a Tor's power, to ease it's effects on the people of this world."
The Gnoll pauses for a moment. "It is my nature. A Tor, where I come from, is one who accumulates knowledge, in order to preserve it. The 'Curator' title that has been given to me during my stay in Runeterra has always been an apt one." Sasun nods sharply, his masked face bobbing up and down in a quick motion. "I seek knowledge so that it may be retained into the distant future."
Sasun nods at the barmaid, smiling slightly under his mask. "Yes, I will enjoy the stew, and mug of wine would be appreciated," he says to the woman. Once she steps away to fill his and Veigar's orders, the Gnoll turns to the much shorter man. "I am less interested in treasures, and more in what we have to learn from the discovery. But I must admit, I am curious about all the things they have found. I hope our meeting with the Venture Captain is most informative," he says, excitement seeming to glimmer in the Tor's green eyes.
"Greetings. I am Tor Sasun," the Gnoll states to Veigar, once he's set his own staff against the wall. "I am most curious to hear what the Venture Captain has to say. Do you, perhaps, have any idea why she wishes to speak with us?" he asks, curiosity shining in his bright green eyes, the only part of his face to show through his mask.
Sasun nods, saying, "Yes, I would appreciate a meal." The Gnoll moves to seat himself at a table, offering a seat to the other customer.
So I found a drawfriend who was willing to draw up Sasun. Here he is, in all his Gnollish glory. :)
