James quickly grabs his belongings and makes for the exit, wondering if anyone will be trying to intervene.

Ill stand and lets see if I survive 3 AoOs.

Lumberyard:
James fails to stop any of the oncoming Lumberjacks, so that he is now facing three of them at once. Quickly he lets himself crush the man, so that now he's only slightly outnumbered.
The one I'm holding should only have 1 hp, right? Does he look like he's still wanting to fight?

Technically, you only need a grit pool with 1 point in it to use that feature. Amateur Gunslinger will get you that
Lumberyard: Round 3 As the first Lumberjack wanders into reach James lashes out with the devouring hand, tearing at the man violently before grabbing hold. The hand shudders with anticipation as blood is spilled.
"Sorry, I'd try to be more accommodating if I could. Anyway, let's get this thing started. You want to take the lead? Just give the signal when things turn ugly."
"That may not be an option either" says James as he rolls up the sleeve on his symbiote arm. "You still want me?"
"I can't make any guarantees, things'll probably get out of hand quick. What about the witch, do you have any love lost for her?"
James thinks on it before responding "Yeah, I'm up for a fight I 'spose. How much are you paying?"
"That'd be the warden."
James heads for the man wearing the badge. "Howdy, I've got a note to deliver."
James starts searching around for an in-charge type to deliver the note. He notes how out-of-the-way this trip had taken him. Probably his own fault for looking for something easy.
Alright. First things first I'll offer a couple of thoughts: I like Martial Flexibility; it's cool, it's a fun gimmick. But, frankly, it's not terribly good under the current circumstance where you have the option to take practically any class ability and you're trading it away for the luxury of being indecisive with feats. That being said it's not hurting you terribly. I think you should trade away Light Armor proficiency for a fourth class special. Light armor doesn't seem all that valuable to me unless you specifically plan on building into medium/heavy (in which case you should trade it for a class feature that gives you proficiency and goodies, like Panolpy Bond) Now, on to my suggestions in the order they come to me: Drop IUS/Brawlers Strike and pick up a Caestus with your proficiency/starting gear. Instead, take Fuse Style from the Master of Many Styles. Drop Martial Training. It doesn't do anything because there are no class levels in this game. Instead, use it to take the Drop Brawler's Cunning. Combat Expertise isn't very good at all, so swap it with Dirty Fighting. Congratulations, you now can use all combat maneuvers and still count as INT 13. Now, if you've been following me up 'till now you'll have three special abilities available (four if you decided to do away with Martial Flexibility). Here's what I suggest: Take the Master of Many Styles bonus feat twice for Ascetic Style and either Dragon Style (fun) or Broken Dream Style (FUN). If you chose the latter then use your final special to take Devastating Touch from the Dread class. If you go this route you can get rid of your traits (intimidate is no longer useful) for something like Heavy Hitter or Reactionary. Otherwise, use your last special to pick up Challenge/Glorious Challenge (EXTREME shenanigans once you get access to 12th level abilities) After all that you'll still have one feat left over. Psionic Body is good if you're going the Broken Dreams route, otherwise wait to pick up Power Attack and build into Cornugon Smash.
I meant with character building
Again, I'm willing to help if asked.
James nods at the explanation. "Can't afford any of that, but I'll try and be along when I can" and if there's nothing else he continues on for the lumberyard.
Seeing the merchant James decides to get a better look. Maybe there's something to learn about how this game works. He approaches the man: "Hey, how's it going? Can you tell me what you're selling here?"
James shrugs and heads for the lumberyard.
James shrugs and heads for the lumberyard.
"G$%#+%mit if this keeps happening I'm going to get setback" he says as he gets brought to the square. Even after hearing the announcement he heads for the quest giver. He'd decided to let others risk taking the dungeon on first. In the meantime he'd busy himself with whatever.
I gave it some thought and I've come to the conclusion that I'm more interested in the mechanical aspect of this game than anything else. To that end I'm going to push my characters and use them as a basis for experimentation. If you want help with something than please let me know.
James heads for the quest giver, looking especially foe something he can do alone.
As above, I'm willing to pair up with someone if we want to arrange a meeting.
I wanna fite sumtin
I'm not particular
After spending an hour fruitlessly trying to get a grasp of the situation, James leaves the temple and heads out into the city proper to get a look at things.
Right, well again I take an opposite stance of Bastion. The mechanical aspects are what require the most attention in this game. Given the rules some ways of building a character are more efficient than another. I don't want to overstep my boundaries, but if you'd like suggestions I'd be willing to help.
To each his own
Wow, the only one of those that you listed that I liked was .hack
Not really, I believe there was an event coming soon? Besides access to maneuvers: armiger's mark, aegis, clad in steel, tactical acumen, stalwart. Armament Shield and Zweihander Training from the Zweihnader Sentinel archetype are also more useful than running sword and board. According to the developer Armament Shield works exactly like a shield so any shield-based abilities you may have still function. Boots of the Earth for fast healing
I'm echoing myself but you should really look at Warder from DSP.
Death Temple: James grumbles a thanks before following the attendant. Perplexed by the pillows he pushes them to the side to clear the floor where he then places his things. Only then does he sit and begin to give consideration to his current situation.
Death Temple: "What the hell are you talking about. Are you listening to me? I'm. Looking. For. Somewhere. To. Sleep."
Death Temple: "I don't want to be sleeping on the street, is that good enough?"
Death Temple: Findlay manages to stagger out of the portal, dazed and confused. It seems now that his senses weren't exactly lined up making it difficult to think. He moves past the greeter and and directly to the receptionist. "Uh, yeah. Hey, look, I need somewhere to stay for a while. I there a place nearby?"
Sure, that's fine. I've just been calling it a bit of corrupted code
Beta: Tin_Man (or Alpha with the boon arm/your choice) I don't understand what this means?
Take your time
Aye, I do. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_9YW0UTP06LRhzHvVH-Acgnr2XB6pYnpC-qiFZP GivA/edit My character is ready. When the time comes please read and review my sheet carefully as there are many details and it's better to clear everything beforehand.
Here is a submission. I am working on the numbers and refining some descriptions but everything else is there. In the meantime if anyone would like to say anything feel free. I sent GM Wolf a fair amount of stuff the first time around plus some other stuff when we did the Borderlands game. Hopefully that'll cover that portion of the submission.
At this point I think I'm going to step away as well. I don't think I'm right for this game. By the time you guys get back out to the street tin_man has simply left. Good luck with things further on, folks.
Tin_man sees the two enter the street but simply watches, saying nothing, lest things devolve into another argument.
