Here's the list of potentials as I understand it so far. Let me know if I've missed you. In no particular order -

Characters

Unnamed Flying Tattooed Wizard Lady: Tiny Coffee Golem. Inheritor of ancient technomagic(?).

There's your titel Golem!!!

And Viscount you said Fisto was the current man-at-arms but that age was weighing HEAVILY on him. So is he now FATSO..??
ROFL!

Mekaneck and Fisto were both cybernetic based Masters if i remember correctly so theres some possiblities for you. Although i believe they fleshed out Fisto as Duncan's older brother so he might not be around anymore.

Ahh forgot to update the post.
Ranger or Fighter/Ranger
The Clawblades turn the natural weapons into a light weapon so you can get fullattacks based on AB so the monk isnt needed,which I was having trouble figuring out how that would play in myself.

Natural Attacks have a set number of attacks no matter what level you are.
So it would be 20thlvl fighter going 5 attacks and a 20thlvl natural ranger going 2 attacks.
But a monk can take Feral Training and use natural attacks with flurry of blows or i guess you could call it furry of blows.
Reminds me of the scene from Harlem Nights where the two guys are shooting at Eddie Murphy with tommyguns and the one guy has the snubnose. They would unload a volley at him and then the one guy would go pow...classic scene

Okay found inspirational art. How do you add a link here?

All well and good.Basic outline follows.

"I was born a princess but i have earned my rank in the Guard." Lycana on being called Your Highness.
Captain/Sub Captain/Lt.Lycana of the Eternian Guard.
Race:Wolfen or Garou (whichever sounds better)
Class:Ranger,Monk or Ranger/Monk
Brief History:When He Man and the Masters rescued Queen Elmora and freed the moon Phantos from Skeletor's rule(She Demon of Phantos)word of their deeds spread across the moon. The Wolfen,a small but honorable race of near humans,sent representatives to meet the Eternians. Having long ago cutoff ties with humans, the Wolfen were impressed with Elmora and the Eternians. Thru the years that followed the wolfen came to be trusted allies of Elmora helping to safeguard their world against Skeletor's return. With He Man having vanished King Garou(or Ly-Can) sent one of his daughters to Eternia in its time of need as the Masters had once helped Phantos.
Lycana,being the 3rd heir to the throne,was honored to accept her father's request and since arriving on Eternia has proven a capable member of the Eternian guard.

Wolfen:
A race resembling humans except for their solid white eyes,elongated ears,long claws(and maybe tails and fangs). The wolfen are a proud but small race that over the eons had come to mistrust humans seeing them as dishonorable and self destructive.Recently these opinions have begun to change and the race has made inroads to reform old alliances thanks to the actions of He Man and the Masters.

The monk part is in there because i really hate NA's set#
1stlvl claw,claw
10thlvl claw,claw
20thlvl claw,claw

Oohhh Claw Blades...got to love the ARG.

FYI I found a site last night looking for MOTU wiki that had what was called tours of eternia. The poster had up several races and gave background on them with pics. Was a great source for anyone looking for a race inspiration.

What about taking a race from the ARG and changing the name?

Thinking of a wolf type race but using the Catfolk stats.

DM Jelani no one has stated that CURRENT firearms in the PF setting are OPed.
What we are discussing is SCI FI firearms and ways not to make THEM OPed because:
1.Scifi era weapons are leaps and bounds superior to PF advanced firearms which are near equal to late 1800s firearms.
2.The Emerging Guns level is the default PF level which states advanced firearms are rare and wonderous items-the stuff of high level treasure troves.
3. Advanced firearms see an increase in reload rates,in range,and in increments to resolve touch based attacks.
4. Follwing those points we would reason Scifi era weapons are even more powerful than advanced firearms.

As such saying your crossbow is a laser rifle just seems to be the simpler and easier route.

Jelani: Yeah, I think that sounds right, although I worry a bit about the potential for stacking on effects. I don't think it should be too bad right now, so let's run with it for the moment. I'll take a closer look at it tonight.

Twilsemail:Couple things - first off, I like where you're headed, but I think you may be interpreting Draego-Man a bit angrier than I think he's intended to be. I see him as an honorable sort of dude, offended at the prevaricating that humans do. I rather doubt he's gone about burning villages, for instance. From the (admittedly very tiny) amount of information available, I thought he was probably the sort of character who might be convinced of the error of his ways and join the Masters. What's your take? He's only barely canon, so I'm willing to hear alternate interpretations, I just thought I'd throw mine out there.
Second, Grayskull was never the capital of Eternos - well, not in recent memory, anyway. It's pretty much just a creepy old ruin, and very few know the secret of the power it holds - er. Held. The capital of Eternos is, simply enough, Eternos City.

Zarisa: I like what you're saying, but the unfortunate part is that many (in fact, most) folks aren't walking around in armor, powered or otherwise, and actual bows and arrows are definitely in evidence. Eternia is so incredibly varied in what's available that I want to try to keep most options on the table in some form or other.

And that's it for me for today, folks. I've gotta get some sleep, then class, then rehearsal, but I should be back on somewhere around 9:30 or 10 PST tonight.

Exactly. PF has the touch attack rule because most dont have firearm resistant armor in that campaign. But coming from a world that has such tech blasters and bows should have no advantage over the other one. With both types of weapons being equal it boils down to a personal choice of which to use.

Basically what im saying is a bow is treated no different when attacking a person in plate or in his skivies except by their AC rating.
With Eternian armor built around there being blasters in combat a blaster would have no special treatment against armor and thus the same as a bow. Whether its the material of say Eternium(which i just made up for this example) or minor magics in the armor firearms should definetly not have advantages over bows for campaign fairness.

You cant really use the touch attack rules for PF firearms for Eternia. Eternia would most likey have blast resistant armor and such so just keep it simple:
Laser/Blaster rifle =Longbow or H Xbow
Laser/Blaster pistol=Shorbow or L Xbow
Hard light weapons that do piercing damage.
Perhaps even a stun setting that only works in the 1st range increment and does non lethal.
If you go with xbows reloading times could be represented by the weapon recharging etc etc. Rapid Reload and the various class abilties could be yoou picking up a way to coax a better recharge time out of a weapon.

Captain Raya.
Human monk cyborg
Monk abilities will be explained off as cybernetics feats.
Slow fall for example short use anti grav field.
Perhaps an order of the bow monk except with blasters.

Tech based former Eternian guard or soldier,mabe even a cyborg. Techno Man lol. Man at Arms type character.

Beast type character with ties to Beastman. Notsobeast Man,Shewolf,Lycana..etc etc

A monk type that fights with his oversized feet. Footso..

An archer type that has tech based arrows. Arrow Man,Techunter,Amazona,

A gunslinger using energy based firearms. Blastar,Pistoleera,Lazar,Lazara

Those similar to what your looking for?

Eternia is a tech/fantasy world how are you going to handle the tech side of it? Im asking because Man at Arms was my favorite character and i would love to have a tech character similar to him. Perhaps one of the castle guards.

Just the basics for now will put up more tomorrow.

The Hounds/Hellhounds/Asmodeus's hounds
The Hounds are recruited from orphans who have fallen thru the cracks of society. The are taken in and indoctrinated by the religion to blame Mitra for abandoning them. The Hounds are given extensive training in hunting that evolves from small game to the religion's enemies. When their training is complete they are exposed to a secret ritual that infuses them with powers similar to a hellhound. Improved senses,speed and deadly claws make them much more efficient killing machines. The Hounds serve as protectors of rituals as well as hunters of the faith's enemies. Calling them cold blooded is an understatment.

Ranger shapeshifter that has hellhound traits instead of lycanthrope.

3 days is a long time guard..ill kill you first.
