Valam Gos's page

I too find the need to check everytime there's a new post. Even when I am posting this...hold on there's a new post, oh wait that's my post.

Note the :), meaning its a joke...

"My people have a saying, Սա ինչ է նա ասել է, I believe it is basically the equivalent of when your people say That's what she said"

Google translate, looked like a nice draconic.

Humanoids, with their odd mating rituals...

Ok, Valam is ready for review at this time. I will however say this, it's hard to write a background for a hatchling, they are very young, even a wyrmling (which is level 7 for silver) is <5 years old, and a hatchling is probably like a few months old or so. Thus I cannot have this epic backstory because Valam just isn't old enough yet.

I also didn't spend much of Valam's starting gold, between natural weapons, a breath attack, flight and spells, there wasn't much to purchase and besides dragons like to horde, so I probably should just replace some of the money with gems, after all I have to effectively eat gold every so often anyway to advance in size. Being tiny there's no point in purchasing a saddle, since only a familiar would be able to ride Valam at this point in time.

Silver Dragon is a very difficult class to sort into melee/caster/ranged, on one side Valam has a breath attack usable every 1d4 rounds, on the other side, he's Tiny and only is able to hit adjacent enemies with his bite attack. Luckily his gestalt class is a spellcaster, so that does make it easier to define his role, however he's still full BAB, with a d12 HD (but due to his curse really doesn't*), three good saves, and plenty of skills (10 ranks at level 1, since I put FCB into it).

You've missed me twice now Dave :)

Still very much working on it, but here is my character which I will be submitting (it's so hard to reuse this name in most campaigns, being as it's draconic)

Valam Gos - Silver Dragon/Lunar Oracle (Dual Cursed) - Dylos

Also GM, hope it's alright to take the 3pp curse Choleric.

None here.

GM still having internet problems?

I suspected that that was all it might reveal.

Valam Gos watches as Quomnal unveils the plan on when and where to meet back up, though he doesn't particularly feel comfortable that they will be spending the night in such extravagance.

When Quomnal is done speaking, Valam Gos directs his attention to Khasel, "I'm afraid that the only gods which I know of are Apsu and the other draconic gods, namely Tiamat and the despicable Dahak, so I would welcome any information which you are willing to share. I do not know weather Apsu is one of these thousand gods or not, but I wish to pay my respects to these thousand gods." He responds as he follows Khasel.

Being from Triaxus and having no ranks in knowledge religion, I figured Valam Gos would not have much knowledge about any gods beyond Apsu, and the main knowledge he'd have of Tiamat and Dahak is probably their relation to Apsu, so Sharesha is likely the first of the thousand gods which he has heard of, additionally without a list of other space gods I wouldn't know who to ask about :)

EDIT: Strike that last part, I do know what to ask, domains exist for a reason -.-

"In these thousand gods, are there any gods or goddesses of expeditions or exploration, or perhaps luck, as we may find ourselves needing some." Valam Gos inquires as the thought happens upon him.

I think I'll have to pass on buying anything on credit for sake of my Paladin code, since I already know that the equipment is smuggled.

How I wish I had ranks in Knowledge: Religion right about now, but oh well.

Valam Gos nods to the black suited Kalo, "It sounds like this Sharesha is a good start at least." He scratches his head with a single talon at the name Sharesha, but shakes it off quickly motioning to the man. "I will follow you, but first I believe we should establish a time and place to meet back up."

I know Knowledge skills can be attempted up to dc10 untrained, not sure if there would be any information I might be able to get that low, but I might as well roll

Knowledge: Religion (untrained): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Well I undoubtedly hit a DC 10, the max I can hit untrained, so do I know anything about Sharesha? lol, what a waste of a nat 19.

"Camping gear and rations might not be a bad idea." Valam Gos says agreeing. "Additionally, what are the local deities of this area, I may want to stop at their temples and pay my respects, as a foreigner in this land."

"Let's just hope that they are not racist against those of us with a more 'scaly' disposition" Valam Gos remarks after hearing Nebari's warning, adding "I would hate to have to result to violence simply because of my appearance." under his breath.

"Then I am convinced that the boards seem to be the best option for us at this time, and if we can obtain them legitimately without raising attention all the better. Valam Gos says, glaring at Quomnal for even suggesting that they might obtain the boards through less then legitimate means.

Valam Gos watches as the others deliberate on the topic of the boards and the possibility of needing guides. "I'm with the fiery one, we should avoid involving others, as it may lead to others showing too much interest, with that in mind, perhaps the boards are the best way to go, however, how do we obtain such expensive equipment without notice, is it not possible that obtaining these boards would attract attention in itself?"

"Well, how fast do these Space Boards fly, and how fast do we really need to go? If it's not a large area, I don't see why we would particularly need them, I personally can fly anyway." Valam Gos says while stretching his leathery wings. "Surely if we get more for our work without them, it would be worth it to not have them, but if they speed up our work significantly, I see no issue with acquiring them."

"Heat, lots and lots of heat, just like the rest of this damned planet." Valam Gos says as the nearly seven foot tall winged lizard steps into the room. "Why you humanoids can do anything which would produce more heat is beyond me." He adds glancing at Ishari and Ip-Thek Quaj. "Though I suppose you are already on fire so it cannot get much hotter for you."

At this moment, he notices that the others seem a bit tense, "Forgive me, I have not yet introduced myself, I am Volam Gos, and I come from further away then many of you have ever imagined, for I am a native of Triaxus the wanderer. The weather there is much more...preferable to that here, especially during the winter." He scratches his scaly elbows against his scalemail. "Did I mention that this armor makes things even hotter in here? Is there any way to make this planet colder? He glances around his surroundings sputtering a few curses in draconic.

"In any case, where was I, oh yes, I am Volam Gos of Triaxus, and I am the chosen of Apsu, the Maker of All....Yark" He sways his tail back and forth as he talks, and then covers his mouth as the 'yark' escapes.

Yark is a sound that kobolds make, and since Volam is essentially half kobold...Also, lacking both wisdom and knowledge of the planes, Volam would simply assume that ifrit were humanoids rather then outsiders.

I believe he means in the character tab, as soon as you post in the gameplay you'll appear in the character tab.

So then do I add 6 points or take away 6, that is to ask was base 8 or base 10 assumed for the starting point?

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Ah yes, for the greater good!

Noticing starspanner's post on the newer recruitment, it seems I did the point buy wrong, I did scaling buy - as listed in the core rule book, rather then the no scaling, so starting at 10 base for everything, I spent 19 points rather then 25, but if I start at base 8 for everything, I spent 31 points rather then 25.

I'm afraid I cannot condone thievery.

Ok, so here's what I'm looking at for the modified Wyvaran.

Here's what I actually changed, the ability modifiers, the natural attack (was tail, now tail is prehensile only and there's a bite attack instead). These changes made the race cost 1 RP more, mainly because I spent 2 RP on the bite attack so that it is 1d4 rather then 1d3. I didn't add a breath weapon because Wyverns don't have breath weapons, so I feel I should gain it the same way a Kobold would, through feats, though I decided to go the Eldritch Heritage route for the breath weapon since that one is stronger then the Kobold feats Breath.

And here is the character, the link directs to the character sheet on myth-weavers, hope that is ok.

I'll put the information into this profile later.
