Hi,

I need some ideas for a quest that the PCs can undertake to help Nurah redeem herself.

Any input would be appreciated.

thx

Thats what I got so far, any idea how to progress form lvl 6 on?

Tiefling (demon spawn) Monk (master of many styles) 1

6 brawler weapon spec

Edit: I forgot to include scaled skin and prehensile tail.

They aren't but I wouldn't loose much from becoming non-lawful, except not being able to become paladin or monk ever again. :)

I am kind of stuck with how to progress this Charakter in CoT.
So far I've got:

LN Human (15pt.-buy; GM lets us switch the 1st-Level-Feat for +2 to any stat)

STR 18, DEX 14, CON 12, INT 10, WIS 16, CHA 7

#1 Brawler 1 - Weapon Focus (unarmed) (FB), Dodge (HB)
#2 Urban Ranger 1 - Fav. Enemy (undead)
#3 MoMS 1 - Crane Style, Crane Wing (MB)
#4 MoMS 2 - Crane Riposte (MB)
#5 Brawler 2 - Dragon Style, Dragon Ferocity (FB)
#6 Brawler 3
#7 Brawler 4 - Weapon Spec (unarmed), Combat Style Master (FB)
#8 ???

How would you proceed?

What I thought of:
- Urban Barbarian for Rage
- Gendarm for Spring Attack
- Fighter for ..., yeah, FEATS
- Ranger for Combat Style and maybe Westcrown as a Favored Community

EDIT: As you may have notice I'd like to continue with my level-dipping madness and the class/prc should preferrably be FullBAB.

no traits, heroic stat array and the wealth should be avarage lvl 12 pc wealth because I need to bolster the pcs equipment a bit, as they are significantly under avarage wealth.

Yeah, I know I could just use different classes, but I liked the idea that the whole party has swift-invisibility and See Invisibility potions (for team tactics) to annoy the PCs a little. The other reason for ninja in every NPC was to weaken the NPCs a bit as they will get PC-loot and I dont want the encounter to be a TPK.

So the party is after this epic katana, thats sth like a Mantis Blade. And at the end of the dungeon (that consist mostly of traps and some ghosts/shadows) just before they find the epic sword along with some other +3 to +5 weapons, they should encounter a party of 4 12th lvl ninjas.

They should be sth like:
1 pure ninja
1 ninja/sorc/AT or sth similar thats capeable of arcane casting
1 ninja/fighter or ninja/monk (martial at least)
1 ninja/oracle or bard or just 1 guy with maxed UMD to use CLW-Wands

Are you up to the challenge to help me build them?

thx in advance :)

Thx.

A changeling Witch and some Bugbears with classlevels seem to fit. Maybe a Nightmare as the Hags mount.

And the picture of them holding hands while skipping through the Etheral Plane is just awfully funny.

Hi,

what would be good minions for a Night-Hag with a focus on things from the etheral plane? So far I got Animated Dreams and Phase Spiders. Any suggestions, cause I got no clue what else to take and need it for an encounter for tonights session.

So, why does she cast a spell that won't work on the party in her room?

Nobody knows. In part 3 of the AP there's a Naga that casts Invisibility to escape underwater. Just give her Heat Metal (even if it's just half damage underwater) or any other 2nd level spell instead.

And another question - is the barkskin spell she casts before combat already in her stat block?

Yes!

So how would the revenge of the two look? Assuming Paeta told Haetanga that the PCs were allied with Bikendi.

We play homebrew and it's allowed to take wildblooded and crossblooded together.
Hitting things with a Reach Vampiric Touch for 5d6+21 seems ok to me. The spell is cast with 26 INT (+2 race, +4 item, +2 Level, +1 middle aged) and Spell Specialization at level 8. With empower and maximize even more at later levels.

so, no? :D

I thought about building him with 2 levels of MoMS and Magical Knack and focused on Vampiric Touch with Wayang Spell Hunter and Reach Spell.
What do you think?

My pleasure. FYI: the Purple Worm Poison that lasts 9 rounds goes to the alchemist not the witch. I will post stats for my reworked "No honor among thieves" encounter as well as soon as I get home. Captain Grotus got a few more levels and some companions to be less pathetic. :P

As we just play a hombrew quick version of ship combat no stats for the ship are included. Please tell me if you find any mistakes.

Here are the monster I made for the isle of the one eyed sheep.
Big thanks to Lord Twitchiopolis for the idea. Hope somebody can use this. Feel free to check for mistakes.
I can post stats for the plague ship too, if somebody is intrested. Just coming up with the concept.

@yawaka: I dont really like the feel of Dervish Dance vor this build as I will try to mimick an Aldori Swordlord.

@guy: the bonusfeats and AC would be noch but the sacred Monk is to static for a real duelist.

As for feats I think I will continue with:
Combat Reflexes, Greater Trip, Vicious Stomp and Crane Riposte.
Any additions or sth I am forgeting here?
Also would Critical Feats be worth it?

I thought of a similar backstory, maybe challenging a Bandit-chief to a duel as there should be bandits involved according to the PHB and building up a Sirian Aldori-like backstory because of being maybe even obsessed with Aldori history.

Spire Defender sounds intresting and would really fit the concept, I'll try to work out a build with it.

This is by no means a finesse fighter. :)
Maybe the Duelist part in the title was missleading. I' m planning on continuing Lore Warden at lvl8 not going into Duelist.
Any suggetions on feats for lvl8+ would be nice too.

EDIT: thx guy, I already read the whole thing. ;)

The build started as an Aldori Swordlord, but I liked the Breadth of Expirience, Kirin Style combo so much, so this came out. And the Exotic Wepaon Prof is too expensive and not realy fitting as an elf.

Woodcraft sounds nice for the whole survival acpect.

Arcana is for Kirin Style, cause I need 6 ranks for Kirin Style to take Kirin Strike as my Bonusfeat. Spellcraft and the trait that gives me detect magic 1/day, were just for fun. As you both say theres a need for survival I consider taking it instead of spellcraft and swapping the elven magic racial trait for sth else. Instead of magical talent I´ll take Sword Scion from the campaign traits.

For other knowledge skills I´ll try to activate them all, what would be the best order?
Althought it doesnt matter that much cause Breadth of Expirience lets me take all knowledge-checks untrained.

EDIT: I dont know what the rest of my group will be playing, the campaing just got anounced. I've just read the Kingermaker-PHB and tried to come up with a not too optimised and kind of generalist build.

In two weeks I'm going to be in a Kingmaker game. We use a 21-point-buy (crazy GM :P). What do u think of my build so far?

My meele-focused ranger 6/ horizon walker 2 got 20k gp to spend on magic items. As I've never come to such a high level, I dont really know what to get. Any suggestions?
I already got a +1 keen composite longbow STR +2 an a +2 Breastplate and some minor items.

I thought it gives you a cantrip choosen by the caster that made the ioun stone. I just picked this one to avoid the cheesyness of spamming Arcane Mark. So another PoP it is. :P

So ...

I will take Outlander (Lore Seeker) as my 2nd trait
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/campaign-traits/rise-of-the-runelords/outlan der
What are good Spells to take for +1CL/DC?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/campaign-traits/kingmaker/noble-born
Thats the only one I think, but you got to be from Orlovsky.

Judging by this exchanges in this post I'm going to go ahead and suggest you don't play a prankster character.

Thats good advice!

bump

You could try and trip the guy charging you with your AoO.

It was either Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dance and Elf or the build I posted above. I think Preferred Spell gives me more versatility and the ability to chop 2-handed for more damage for a little less AC.

As my want to be shadowdancer died last session(lvl6 was so close :() and I always wanted to play a Magus, I'm going with a bladebound/kensai-shinigami-like charakter. Here is my build so far. Any tips/advice would be welcome.

NG human bladebound kensai 5

STR 16
DEX 14
CON 12 (+fav class for HP)
INT 18 (4th-lvl-raise, rest goes to STR)
WIS 10
CHA 7

Traits: Magical Lineage (Shocking Grasp), open (maybe sth to up concentration)

Feats
1: Heighten Spell, Elemental Spell (acid), Weapon Prof + Focus (katana)
3: Power Attack
5: Intensified Spell, Preferred Spell (Shocking Grasp)
7: Weapon Spec (katana)
9: Critical Focus (maybe improved crit and sth else at 13?)
11: Greater Weapon Focus (katana), Quicken Spell
13: Staggering Critical
15: Spell Perfection (Shocking Grasp)

Arcana
6: Arcane Accuracy
12: Ghost Blade
15: Bane Blade

Gear (We get half the amount of money you would normaly get)
Silken Ceremonial Robe +1
Cracked Orange Prism Ioun Stone (Touch of Fatigue)
3x PoP 1st lvl
Potion CLW and 20gp

Hope you got a good plan to survive the first few levels. :)

You might want to consider Piranha Strike.
Also Eldritch Heritage (e.g.:Arcane Bloodline for a Familiar and Bonus Spells at Lvl11) is quite nice, if your going Half-Flf for a free Skill Focus.

hey,

whats the best entry for the shadowdancer prc, in your opinion, cause I want to play one in an upcoming campaing.

Is it ...
fighter 5
ranger 5
rogue 5
... or somthing else?

Sry if this post has already been made but I couldnt find anything via search.

My group just started RotR with just 3 PCs (20pt-buy). Atm we're half way through Burnt Offerings (unnerfed, according to the GM) and it has worked well so far. The party consits of 1 Barbarian (aiming for Travel/Liberation Cleric), an Archer Ranger/Barbarian (Wild Rager for way too many attacks) and my Dawnflower Dervish Bard.
Maybe consider letting them take Leadership to get either a pure Wizard or Cleric.

I´d rather max the stats, cause as I know the DM it wont be played out that much. I could go with dwarf, might be a better choice as the +2 to CON gives me basicly the same as Toughness and Darkvision. Although I dont know if its realy wise to dump CHA to 5 and skip Channel.

As for feats, maybe Defensive Combat Training to keep my CMD competetive.

I´m not sure about the feats from lvl5 on either. Any Suggestions?

So still at work and bored ...
After considering everything I think I´ll start out with 1 Level of Fighter and continue Cleric with Liberation/Travel afterwards

Stats are either
STR 16
DEX 10
CON 12
INT 9
WIS 16
CHA 9

or

STR 17
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 7
WIS 18
CHA 7

Traits:
Deft Dodger & Rich Parents or Amror Master, if we get money at the start

Feats:
1 Toughness, Power Attack, Furious Focus
2
3 Combat Casting
4
5 Extend Spell

plz no flamewar in this topic!!! :P

but anyways I have no problem with roleplaying my ugly and dumb divine brute.

Is there a Trait that gives you Perception as a class-skill?

@Secane
Guided is awesome, though as it is from another adventure, at least according to pfsrd, so I have to discuss this with my GM.

@blackbloodtroll
Thx, I´ll look them up, though evil alignments are forbidden.
Inquisitor would be a solid choice, but I´m kinda stuck with this battlecleric-concept ;).

@bigkilla
Crusader sounds promising but I think with one lvl of Fighter I would sacrifice less and gain more.

Yeah, I forgot the +1 BAB req for Weapon Focus.
Heirloom Weapon keeps getting worse as neither me nor my GM read that "specific" in the text.

One level-dip of fighter might be the best option, saves me a feat and I could make up for the CL with Magical Knack. Though I am going to ask my GM about the guided weapon, could be another option.

I looked at all of the Gods, the major ones at last, and I´d either like Gorum or Desna. And as I want Travel, I´ll stick with Desna and throw some Starknifes occasionaly. ^^

ARGH ! FLAME WAR !!!

I know but when I first do a character of a class I´ve never played before I like to know what I can do with the rules before I fit that char into the world.

BTW -> plz no flamewar in this topic!!! :P

@Deyvantius:
First mechanics, then background to justify the mechanics :P

@Fionnabhair:
We will have another highly CHA/WIS focused cleric in the party, so I thought I´d skip this part.

@Richard:
As long is its no flame every review is good. (And its just my first cleric ;))
Dumping STR a little and getting more WIS is a good idea. (bonus spells, DCs) INT and CHA could be swapped, but i´d like to leave them that way, cause there are already other party members focusing heavily on these stats and i kinda like the idea of a divine barbarian (though I am missing the rage subdomain).

@Kydeem:
Heavy Armor shouldnt be a problem cause most of the time we just kick in doors and rush blindly. :P But i thought about swapping it for Weapong Focus.
I highly wanted to focus on buffs, so no WIS 18 shouldnt be that big of a problem.
Hm feats ... maybe:
1 Toughness, Heavy Armor or Weapon Focus
3 Power Attack
5 Furious Focus or Lightning Reflexes

@blackbloodtroll:
As a PG i´d like an Asimar with Travel/Darkness but my GM wont allow that, so as we have no wizard and two clerics (the other one is gorum btw Rage/Tactics), getting fly and teleport seemed nessecary and on the other hand Travel is my favored Domain. So Travel/Luck or Travel/Liberation would be the best.

@Slacker
thx for the advice.
maybe sth like:
STR 16
DEX 12
CON 14
INT 9
WIS 16
CHA 9

or with dumping what I can

STR 17
DEX 10
CON 14
INT 7
WIS 18
CHA 7

Ah and just for your information: Everything Paizo published is available to me. No 3.5 or 3rd party.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/equipment-traits/heirloom-weapon

This one.

Maybe Liberation would be nice instead of luck, especially since I dont really have a standard-action to spare for "Bit of Luck" and the 8th-level aura is just awesome.

Hey,

I made my first "Battlecleric" for the upcoming Rise of the Runelords campaign. First I wanted to go with Gorum and maybe prestige into "Divine Scion", but Gorums domains are not that good. So I decided zo go with Desna as her domainlist is awesome. What I came up with is this: (20pt-buy, 2 traits)

NG Human Desna-Cleric 1 (Travel, Luck)

STR 18
DEX 12
CON 14
INT 7
WIS 15
CHA 10

Special:
Channel Energy 3/day (Luck, Heal) d6/+1
Agile Steps 5/day
Bit of Luck 5/day

Traits:
Heirloom Weapon (for either Greatsword or Earthbreaker proficiency)
Deft Dodger

Feats:
Heavy Armor Proficiency
Toughness

So what do you guys think, is there any way to get some more battlefocus out of this? (no battle-oracles please, I dont like them :P)
