I was planning on using cavalier instead. While I do think the horsie mount is a bit much, it will allow him to dish out some damage like a duelist should. Him telling people to come and hit him? Not so much. It's more like if you ignore him, you die.
I'm probably going to roll a 18 STR and DEX. If I'm wearing heavy armor it won't be quite so useful, but I will need some for later when I ditch the heavy stuff. Plus, then I can take tumble and whatever else I need for Duelist.
Half Dragon Human Barbarian it is! Werebeasty wasn't doing anything for me and I thought it would be interesting to have a flying Barbarian!
So what if he will only have 1HD? :) *GRIN* He has BIG ONES!!!

A lone wolf runs through the foliage like a pixie ninja in a silence spell, he stops short of a cherry tree and eyes what he had smelled on a moment ago, another Wolf appears to his right and nuzzles him, they were out on the hunt and ready to eat.
He wakes up in a the wilderness naked and alone, stretching as if waking up from a long slumber his hands brush against something solid above him. A pair of large whitish wings drape over him like a cowl, he shrugs and looks around.
I have wings! What is going?
He looks at his hands and sees Claws for what were once hands. quickly looking down upon himself he sees the draconic visage of a changed body.
Images rush back to him; a laughing man, a chamber, a white dragon.
I think it was a baby
Needles!
Oh God!
Screaming! blood, pain...
The two wolves that were watching changed their minds as they saw the winged creature howl in the midnight air holding his head, even in the darkness they could tell this thing wasn't normal, they loped off for something easier to prey on.
That man changed me! but why? why would he do this? WHY? I will find this MAGE, this MAN and hunt him down. I will tear his entrails from his still heaving chest and feast on his Heart as he watches me!
His head whips to the side eyeing something in the gloomy distance. A sudden Moment of clarity hits his red wall of rage.
Wow i can see far!
Something rumbles nearby...
but first i will quench my hunger...
And he runs off into the darkness...
ok.... scratch that madcap, I can't seem to find the file anywhere. Looks like Cavalier it is.
Aww. I always like looking at what other GMs do. Hope you find it at some point!

That similie made me smile.
Well Pseudodragon was already taken...and me too :)
I may have to head out before he's done, but I was wondering if you'd let me use a bastard sword as a piercing weapon? The reason I ask is because duelist says many of the class features only work with a one handed or light piercing weapon, and I think it would be cool (And not that game-breaking) to use the weapon as an einhander. Obviously not a dealbreaker, but it is something that I would like to be allowed to do.
Plus, mechanically, I like having high damage dice rather than a high crit chance. I am not a lucky man.
Another option, if you're worried about me dealing too much damage, is that the abilities only work if I use the weapon one-handed, preventing possible "Buff the duelist" and then two handed weapon fight cheese.
EDIT: Due to a backtracking error, all of my flowery prose was lost. Swearing ensues. I should have it done within a couple of days.
I love the idea of a Duelist Einhander, very cool imagery there.
And i don't think you need to have it deal piercing damage if it says one handed, technicaly its a one handed weapon if you have the prof for it.
I am also an unlucky roller....I detest stat rolling :)
Yeah, it's no big deal to use the bastard sword mechanics for a piercing blade. Call it what you like, it might be best if you went with a different weapon in name, an Estoc perhaps? (Armor piercing blade without a real edge, designed for punching through plate and often heavier than a longsword)I may have to head out before he's done, but I was wondering if you'd let me use a bastard sword as a piercing weapon?

Ah, OK. You know more about it than me, it seems. A friend of mine does German fencing, so I'll ask him about the ins and outs when I get the chance. Should be set with the stats in a bit.
This looks damn interesting.
I realize you already have an Azer monk, but I'd like to bring another monk in anyway. Hopefully scrapping the Lawful restriction because of my concept: Monk as superhuman irish brawler.
Also, I noticed that you increased the size of the ki pool. Any other changes to Monk from the PF version?
Also, how are you working with ECL? For example, Azers have 2 HD and an LA of +4 and Brazus definitely has somewhat less than that. So what do I as a lowly human get for free? ^_^

Incomplete, but I just need to narrow down equipment and stat up my horse.
What are we doing for HP?
Here is the physical Description and name:
Player: BelGareth
Name: Asmundr Dagfinnr, Asmundr is Norse for Divine Protection, Dagfinnr is Norse for Day-Wanderer.
Deity: Asbjorn,The GodBear; God of War - CN, Alias of Tempus and/or Gorum. Asbjorn is Norse for Divine Bear. Bears being the sacred Animal of Asbjorn.
Physical appearance: His appearance now is a stark contrast to his once human image. He was a once a proud Son of Asbjorn, GodBear. His now off White Skin gleams in the sun with his new scales. His head is that of a miniature dragon, a snout with fangs, his nostrils give off vapor when he breaths in warm air. His Enormous strength is apparent in his stocky frame, a Beast of a Man in his human form, Asmundr revels in his size and power.
Height: 8 '3
Weight: 400 lbs
I AM ASMUNDR! TREMBLE ALL BEFORE ME! STAND ASIDE LEST I WRECK YOUR PUNY FORM ON MY WAY THROUGH!
I think I will change the Feats.
I'm thinking Endurance and Diehard instead of the classic PA and toughness. I don't need to max out DPS, Toughness is a mute point too, the 3 HP are cool but Endurance and Diehard basically give me my CON in HPs...
yeah sounds good to me.
And it works for the fluff too, I like to think the Draconic meld made him tougher (with +6 to CON!)
Half Dragon Human Barbarian it is! Werebeasty wasn't doing anything for me and I thought it would be interesting to have a flying Barbarian!
It might also be worth considering Dragonborn (Races of the Dragon) human, since they get wings and (eventually; level 6) full flight, without the level adjustment. You'd only be morally obligated to kill half the party by default. :P (Maybe the 'of Bahamut' part could get scrapped.)
By the way, how do you make aliases?
He drinks. And fights! And drinks and drinks and fights! Drink drink drink, fight fight fight!
The drinky and fighty shoooooooooooww....

* puts on tech Support hat*
Ok click on "My Account" at the top of the page, You need to sign in again.
Then scroll down to Messageboard Aliases, and click on "create a new Messageboard alias", then Tyoe in Your Avatar name, select your Time Zone and any avatar image you want, then click Submit changes.
Once you do that then you can create a profile for the new alias you created, and type in your stats for him.
Fun, fun, fun. Thank you kindly.

A horse with as high of AC as me. *sigh*
kyrt? Any questions about my character? Thoughts? Comments? Criticism? Epic poetry?
Floren? You looking for a rifle type or more of a sidearm?
A sidearm. Pistol, preferably.
Hey, Eric, how annoyed would you be if I brought someone other than Galdrix the Conqueror? There's a character I've had in the wings for a while who's been coming up in discussion quite a bit, and I'm in the mood to have him ascend from NPC to PC. My dear old chef/alchemist, Sir Michael Albion, Knight of Curry.

My dear old chef/alchemist, Sir Michael Albion, Knight of Curry.
Not really annoyed, I will just find another patsie...err...PC to "assist", he he.
Alright. And I may end up giving the Knight of Curry a sex change and possibly a race lift (though I do want those skill points...). Maybe. Half-elf is being considered. Maybe even gnome, though that doesn't do much for me... I don't suppose I could shunt the gnomish charisma bonus over to intelligence?
Also, the way PF crafting works, I'm thinking I'll pick up Brew Potion, since that lets the Knight of Curry cover a lot of the incidentals I want out of the character and let me stick with Warmage, rather than making the shift to Wizard. And I'd be going the Int-based route, with more emphasis on the 'splodey.
Oh, any objection to 'Brew Potion' making more appetizing creations? Yay, cookies of Reverse Gender!
And any objection to pre-game crafting?
Floren? You looking for a rifle type or more of a sidearm?A sidearm. Pistol, preferably.Revolver: Holds 6 shots, reload as a standard action (rapid reload reduces this to a move action)
Deals 2d4 exploding bludgeoning damage, 19-20/X2 (if you roll any 4's on your damage dies roll again. That includes critical damage dice, example a crit that rolls 4, 1, ,3, 4 would roll another 2 dice, which in turn have the potential to explode.)
Requires Exotic Weapon proficiency pistols
Price: don't really know, don't really care right now lol. (200 at the absolute most)
Bullets: 100 gold per 50 bullet case.
Sweet Madre de Mios...
This is the kinda thing I shoulda known prior to character creation.
I'll take one and my "backup" will take two of these.
OK. I am taking a History of Archery class this semester, so I can tell you stuff about bows if you want to make one more realistic, do modifications for different arrows, arrowheads, woods, etc. Mechanically speaking, crossbows are OK, but compared to actual longbows they leave a lot to be desired. But, hey, they are simple weapons!
That baby is a gunfighter's wet dream. I could always be really dirty and make a halfling gunfighter... 2d3 right?
Should have the stuffs bought at some point today.
EDIT: What's your reasoning for the guns dealing bludgeoning damage?
Count it as both bludgeoning and piercing.
70%? Hrm. Ugly number.
Anyways, any objection to Extraordinary Artisan? -25% gp cost of all items crafted. Multiplied, rather than subtracted, mind, meaning 52.5% market (which could just be truncated back to 50% for simplicity's sake). 25% for skill-based crafting.
I don't suppose I could talk you into preserving save DCs and the like on potions. Like a 1d6+5 lemon drop of Shocking Grasp? (Fun trick, that.) Could make some of the fun toys more useful, like tea of Sleep, if the DCs aren't locked to the minimum.
And I should think spells that require a touch attack would automatically hit if I manage to trick someone into eating them, correct? Like, getting someone to eat the lemon drop of Shocking Grasp shouldn't require an attack roll, I shouldn't think. Would Reflex saves stand?
I'd have to think about the halfling gun. I'm half tempted to go with 1d6, or maybe 2d4-1 for simplicity. Dropping the die size is complicated with the explosive trait lol. (though it does make for interesting Vital Strikes)
Average damage for an exploding die is the average on a single roll, plus that average divided by one minus the die size. So, the average of a d2 would be 1.5+1.5/(2-1)=3. For a general dX, it'd be ([X+1]/2)+([X+1]/2)/(X-1).
In table form:
1d2: 3
1d3: 3
1d4: 3+1/3
1d6: 4.2
1d8: 5+1/7
1d10: 6+1/9
1d12: 7+1/11
1d20: 12+2/19
1d100: 51+1/99
So, going to d3's is a meaningful shift. 7.4 to 6 (19% loss). In comparison, going to 1d6 would be a step from 7.4 to 4.2 (43% loss), which is massive. Compare that to downsizing the longbow from 1d8 (4.5) to 1d6 (3.5), which is a 22.2% [1-point] loss.
In other news, Madcap, if you have Dragon Compendium, you may be interested in Dead Eye eventually (possibly level 7). It was errata'd to having a +1 BAB requirement instead of the crazy, misprinted +14.
Mind, the goods I'm talking about are ingested, and rather expensive. If I'm using a cookie of Reverse Gender, it means I actually have to convince someone to eat the cookie of Reverse Gender. With that constraint in place, then not tying them back in with stats pretty much makes them useless overall. Perhaps a feat to tie stats and abilities (namely edge) back in, with the locked constraint that it applies only to ingested goods? (Meaning no way in Hell this'd go on wands and scrolls.)
As that version of Potion Focus works? It's pretty pitiful; I'd sooner abandon relying on saves at all.
Also, would you rather I use the 52.5% for the post-Extraordinary Artisan price, or may I truncate to 50% to make the numbers easier?
Hey kyrt,
Here's what I'm gonna do. With my 3000gp budget, I want to buy a Necklace of Fireballs Type 2 (2700gp) and a fire resistant bag to hold it in (hopefully not more than 300gp), so whenever I want I can bring it out and make it explode because I am on fire and immune to it. The nuke will do 12d6 fire damage to everything in a 20ft radius. What ya think about that?
I was actually joking a little. It would be fun though. :)
EDIT: Hard to convey jokes in text without a :) or ;).
Alright, I have one last big houserule I'm going to make for this game, then I'll open up a discussion thread to list them all in one Origonal post and discussion can progress there while we continue to hash out PC backgrounds and such here.
We're using the Invisible Items idea, where if you 'buy' or earn cash equivalents you can immediately convert it into magic items.
In this case, it's for AC, Save boosters, etc. Also, something many non-casters will appreciate, when you buy magic weapon and armor bonuses and abilities, they applies constantly to any weapon (including unarmed strike if you have Improved Unarmed Strike) for normal cost.
Special odds and ends gear, like the necklace Brazus is picking up remain items.
EDIT: one last thing. These 'natural effects' aren't actually magical or supernatural, they are simply new stages of personal power. (I don't like the hassle of this stuff getting dispelled or having to recalculate for anti-magic fields)
Whew, this fills me with relief!
