I thought trapfinding is what commoners are for?

Yeah, I didn't realize that vampires get ~5 feats for free. That could be kind of insane, especially if he's playing a charisma based caster or something. Vampire Life Oracle for maximum irony...
Looked at another way, if you gave somebody five free feats they would probably punch above their weight as well. As long as we're not role playing sparkly vampires I'm ok with it.
Uh, I was just asking Ego for the role because the only thing I knew was he wanted to be Hannibal Lecter. My personal motivation was in part to get some use out of the hexes that are usually off limits. In terms of a party role I would say mostly debuffing, buffing, and melee, with a little bit of battlefield control and healing. I eventually want to get some mileage out of Hex Strike.
Ego Mortenson is an Adept 2, heading towards Witch-hood.
Hit the link on the word "campaign" in the opening post, guys.
Being not as familiar with him as I should be. There is a certain baseline for it, it is evil, but some people have limits like children, rape, torture. I want to be aware, and if we can't find something people are happy with, for instance if one person is the only one keeping the party from being cannibals, they'll have to agree to deal with it, or I'll call up an understudy. That makes sense. I'm totally on board with Browman about not wanting to go into torture porn or anything. Just wanted to make sure we weren't going to back our way into a LN party after putting all this effort into criminal backgrounds.
Those chosen will discuss what level of EVIL is appropriate for the campaign. One might be perfectly fine with slaughtering an orphanage and rolling around in their entrails as a divine rite, while others would refuse to play with someone who did that. So it will be discussed. I'm as anti-gratuitous grimderp as the next guy, but I did assume there was a certain minimum baseline of evil that would be ok. How restrictive could those negotiated limits turn out to be?
Sorry but keep in mind your scorpion is your spell book if you intend to witch it up. You've been stripped and you would have had no opportunity to commune after being arrested. So you'd only have the ones you WOULD have prepared on a given day. Fair enough. Is the idea that you would have prepped these spells and just not discharged them throughout the trial/imprisonment? I'll put the updates in my avatar's profile. The only differences so far is swapping out the Mage Armor for Sow Thoughts (the key to a successful career in sales) and a little bit more flavor added to the background.
Ego, looks fine to me, but for non idiocy and survival's sake do add more spells for the correct stat I added in a first level spell prepped. I will note that this spell list is set up with an eye towards breaking out of prison, since I assume I would have known about the situation when I was prepping my spells. I didn't list out all of the spells known because I'm not sure how many I would have as a level 2 adept. The ones I'm using seemed like they would be the bread and butter of a magical con man type.
Ok, here we go: Ego's Infamy:
Ego made a modest living producing and selling magical knick knacks in the port city of Matharyn. His best sellers were minor love potions and good luck charms, and he would have continued living in obscurity had the mayor not wandered into his shop one day. Ego pretended not to be able to see through the mayor's laughably thin disguise and simply provided him with the love potion he requested.
Over time, the mayor visited the shop more often. He and Ego struck up a rapport, and Ego learned that the mayor's marriage was a loveless sham. While he had originally purchased the love potion in the hopes of rekindling the romance in his relationship, he eventually began to use it to secure mistresses to warm his bed at night. Several months after the mayor became a regular customer, Ego approached him with a proposition: several of Ego's "friends" were interested in purchasing a warehouse that had been built over the site of an old temple to Asmodeus and turning it to more "appropriate" uses. In exchange for the mayor turning a blind eye, Ego promised not to publicize any information that would destroy the mayor's personal life. The mayor went along at first. Unfortunately the famed witch hunter Sir Balin of Karfield came to town, pursuing rumors of an Asmodean temple. When Sir Balin met with the mayor the man suffered from a crisis of conscience, confessing all of his sins to the public. The mayor was relieved of his post, and Ego was clapped in irons and charged with extortion. The oddest thing was that all through the arrest and trial, Ego said nothing. No expression crossed his face but a confident smile. His unnatural composure was intimidating to those souls that lacked the fortitude of Sir Balin. Even now, clapped in irons and held in isolation, the guards find excuses to avoid lingering too long in his presence. Ego's Crunch:
Human Adept 2
Traits: Extortion, Bruising Intellect Racial trait: Heart of the Streets Feats: (1) Improved Unarmed Strike; (human) Enforcer STR: 14
Familiar: Greensting Scorpion Spells:
Skills:
Let me know if I got the crunch wrong. I assume the setup here would be witch spells but no witch hexes. As far as I can tell adepts don't get a bonus spell for having high int. ETA: Added a bonus spell. |
