Any particular place in Andoran?

Dark Archive

thats still up for debate, if you like you can post a suggestion of where in Andoran you'd like to play

(small note, this has nothing to do with king maker AP)

Do you just want concepts first, or just get the char made and post it?

Okay. I just played one that took place in the Verduran Forest. How about a mountain setting? I just took a quick look at my campaign guide and I see a couple of ranges. In the north are the Five Kings Mountains. Just a thought... :)

I would like to play a witch in this one. I'll post a concept here later today if I can.

Dark Archive

concept first is preferable, and playing a witch is ok


Human Monk

background:
Brother Ling was raised into the monastic life. Left as a baby to the brothers he was raised with the strictist of discipline, he excelled in the combat arts, and lived his life fasting and praying with the rest of his brethren.

One day a call for help came from the village down the mountain, and Ling was one of the few sent to see what aid was needed. Apparently some bandits had thougt to terrorize the village, so Ling and his brothers went to send them on their way.

The battle was brief, the bandits not prepared for the unarmed wave of destruction that went through them. They rescued the sotlen goods and villagers. Ling was chosen as the brother to stay for the season to ensure this type of activity was not had again.

It was here that he found enlightenment. Not in the perfect pursuit of mind and body, but in the physical sensation of food. He was voracious in his hungers, eating everything he could find, and then learning to prepare dishes on his own. By the time the next season came Ling was... well he was just fat. The townspeople had started calling him Brother Dumpling, and Ling realizing the name was said in fondness never corrected them.

He went back up the mountain, to the plain rice diet that his brothers survived. He hated it. The masters of the order, including the Grandmaster of the Planes, sat Ling down. "The food we have here is just to nourish our bodies plainly to keep us on the path to inner peace and tranquility."

Ling politely responded, "Inner peace and tranquility is what comes after a satisfying meal." They put him thorugh rigorous trainings and discovered Ling was just as skilled as any other monk of his rank, maybe even a little more so.

They were dumbfounded, no one had ever changed their methods as he had. Ling needed his own path, they decided, and sent him off into the world. After his many travels he has ended up here. Looking for his next meal...

This is my 1st level Alchemist, he is currently in another game, however the game hasn't moved forward very much since I joined, so I wouldn't mind creating a 6th level character based on the same background (different name obviously) and getting into a game that posts daily weekdays..and a bit over the weekend.

The reason he would join this band of jolly adventurers is because the local military are fed up with him trying to sell/use his new concoctions in a military operations and suggested he try out his materials of this exciting expedition and if he can prove his stuff works, maybe they will take another look at his explosive materials.


Human Fighter

An Andoran freedom fighter, Markus Freeman, is your standard rank and file soldier. He's been stationed on the western Cheliax border to defend against raids by the tyrant nation and has served as an Honor Guard in Almas. Having several seasons of soldiering under his belt ranging from the Five Kings Mountains to the north to the southern coast, he knows the land decently well. Relieved from duty for a season to tend to personal affairs, he meets the band of adventurers...


MoFiddy here...

Here is my half-elf Witch. His background is in the profile.


Still room? Here's my concept:
A halfling cleric, probably of Old Deadeye or Cayden. He's rather plump and jolly, but is a lot smarter than most give him credit for. He rarely takes things seriously, always preferring to laugh insults--and painful wounds--off, but when confronted with true evil or great tragedy his façade immediately vanishes.
His domains would, obviously, be Community and something else.
EDIT: And here's the alias.

Dark Archive

yea there is still space, and i like the character concepts!


Erevin "Holyarrow"
Elven Ranger 1 Paladin 5

Concept:
Raised in the Verduran Forest, Erevin took up the bow at an early age, pledging his life to the elven god of the hunt, Ketephys. He has endeavoured to thin the bandit population in the forest, and is very concerned with the humans that seem to have taken a greater interest in cutting down his beloved forest to fuel their industries and civilization. He currently makes his home on the western edge of the forest near the pioneer town of Bellis, where he can keep an eye on the forestry developments.

If the adventure involves going after anything evil or malicious, it will be very easy to motivate Erevin into action on behalf of his people and the inhabitants of the forest.

Dark Archive

yea there will be quite an evil thing in the game, also a fair amount of forest tracking, i like your character!


By the way, I fear my book is missing, so is Shelyn CG or NG?

Dark Archive

NG

NG

Thanks. I'm considering making Brother Widfen Lawful Good, but I think I'll leave him as he is.

By the way, Brother Widfen really hates undead, so I geared most of his feats and spells with them in mind. Hopefully that won't damage my character's effectiveness in the adventure.

Dark Archive

there will be some undead, but don't think thats all you'll face


ulgulanoth wrote:

Good. I can just heal people for the most part, but it's nice to be able to contribute to combat.

hey as a NG cleric you'll get lots of rp opportunities too

How so?

Dark Archive

well its called Martyr Maker for a reason...


ulgulanoth wrote:

That doesn't bode well, yeah. Fortunately, the paladin is probably more driven to give his life for the good of all, so he may beat me to it.

true, but everyone should get their own chance or what have you

It's not a competition.

Hopefully.

Dark Archive

no, ofcourse not... (well unless you guys make it into one)

also on characters, 2 traits


*Jump off cliff*
I wiiiiiiiiiin!
*Splat*

Dark Archive

Thanks.

And of course I'll keep it close to my concept. The point of traits is a motivation for a backstory, not little boosts.

Dark Archive

ofcourse but some players might need reminding

So here's my character concept:

Grent Ungol, Ranger 3/Cleric 3:
Grent knew from a young age that army life was for him. His grandfather had been a cleric in Andoran's military, and his tales of valor and the camaraderie of free soldiers caught Grent's imagination from a young age. Grent spent many a day of his childhood trooping through the forest, freeing small animals from kobold traps and fighting other children in mock battles. His parents encouraged him, fostering the love of freedom and bravery that drew them to Andoran in the first place. He enlisted in the Andoran military the day he was old enough.

After his training was completed, Grent was put into a unit dedicated to covert liberation missions behind enemy lines. The unit's frequent movement meant that trips to shrines and temples were few and far between, and Grent found a natural place in the unit providing religious rites for his fellow soldiers. Due to the varied religions of his companions, Grent never followed one deity, but instead preached to the values of universal freedom and protection of the weak. Grent has recently retired from the military, but his wanderlust, devotion, and love of adventure has him searching for a new excursion to join.

I'm planning on having him be a non-deified cleric of freedom and protection, and a two-weapon fighting ranger, taking ranks in Liberator (Second Darkness Player's Guide) next level. Question - I know Second Darkness was 3.5, so what errata should I take into account for using the prestige class?


Got Erevin worked out on paper. Do you prefer us to use the built-in character sheet thing, or can we use the one on myth-weavers.com that can be linked to here?

Dark Archive

for the liberator class, just use the latest errata

as for the character sheet, as long as i have a link to it i don't mind

Dark Archive

Hello everyone.

And good luck.

For ulgulanoth

Are you full?

Traits

Can we use any trait from this link? I found a cool regional trait for Bellis (where my character is from) that relates to his backstory. It is called Bellis Honey Harvester. Here is the description.

Bellis Honey Harvester (Andoran - Bellis)P
Source Andoran: Spirit of Liberty 18
Your frequent exposure to bees - and their stings - makes all such creatures seem more like nuisances than actual threats. You gain DR 3/- against damage dealt by swarms and a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against distraction and poison from swarms.

Dark Archive

to radavel i can fit one more

to jonin sure you can take that trait


For 6th Level characters what are we allowed for Gold/Magical Items/Etc? By the book? Writing up Markus' stats.


Traits are World Traveller (after he was removed from the monastarty he has been walking the world tasting whatever he can) & Iron Liver (One of his first stops was to sample the cuisenes, and beverages, of choice with the Dwarves. it also explains how Ling has learned the language.)

Dark Archive

For ulgulanoth

Spoiler:
I know that the setting of the game is in Andoran, but would a hellknight be completely out of question?

The Exchange

The start of my alchemist, same sort of backstory as previously, but changed the race to Elf, will change the early part story of his life to an elven settlement, but will keep the same flavour of development. Will up his development to 6th level now. More of a 'Boom' than a 'Stinky'.

Dark Archive

radavel; yea you can be a hellknight but he will have to be from somewhere else and travelled to Andoran for some reason

Dark Archive

Cool. Will get right on it.


What I have so far. I still need to fix the skills block and enter them, as well as make a place for CMB/CMD.

Erevin:

I'm thinking about tossing a sorcerer into the ring - if there is an opening. How do you want to do HPs for additional levels?

The Exchange

Not sure what starting gold we would have and if I can buy potions I can make at half price? Other than that the guys almost ready, obviously after you've had a look.

And any extra spells from previous excursions, or just the min no of spells in the book? And can I buy poisons cheaper as I can make poisons too, I are say at half street price, can't remember what it says in the book.
