Those of you who want to worship local gods... think of them as gods with many aspects. They are Elemental Gods and do not need the power of faith from their worshipers. They also have many areas of responsibility and they are worshiped as a pantheon. Their collective symbol is a pentagram inside the circle. You can give a personal primacy to one god in the Penteon, as they are collectively called, but you acknowledge the rest of the gods and their places in the Penteon.

So I saw earlier that you nixed a non-pathfinder feat. Is that across the board or is it a case by case basis?

The game is Pathfinder only, I'm afraid.

Right. Time to rework some stuff. That nixs every feat we planned on using except combat reflexes and cleave. Oh well.

Might make the build impossible without Formation Expert and Shield Wall.

maybe the Teamwork feats from the APG will have some similar stuff we can use.


Scranford,

In the Midnight game, we can take Drawbacks. One of them is Powerful Enemy. It would be funny if we could take each other.

I just lowered Kun's Wisdom to sub-average so I can see our characters relationship entailing my character getting both of them into trouble; fun ensues. In fact, that could be how we got into this situation.

Ok, build reworked using Pathfinder only stuff.

Same for traits? Weapon Bond?

Will be ready with a rough draft to post soon.

So you should be fine with weapon bond.

Hey there, just sounding off to say that Doomed, Sorok, and I put in some time this evening working out our build(s) and background(s) for this. Once we've made sure we all have the details straight, should be posting the first version(s). Tomorrow, methinks.

All straight out of the Pathfindery books. Those teamwork feats in the APG = good stuff.

Although I am not a fan of that trait, boy I can't pass it up when it's allowed. There is no way I am going to allow a +6 to not be used even though I am not doing a melee oriented character.

Right there with you.

I deliberately avoided that trait in the other game. This one though, I'm telling my restraint to talk a long walk off a short pier.

Go right ahead. You are gonna need it.

Right, here we go. The numbers aren't as prettily organized as i might like, still missing traits and a few other things, but I did finish one bit I thought you all should be advised of - the first installment of our giant freaking background story. This is, of course, pending GM approval, as it's a little (okay, a lot) odd, but we've got a pretty cool story to tell here, so I hope you enjoy nevertheless. First part's going up in my profile, second part in Doomed/Orphax's, and the third in Sorok/Herac's.

Well that was awesome, I'm really looking forward to the rest of it now. Sounds like they just got drafted into a superhero league or something.

heh. Pretty accurate assessment, actually. The setting they're from is kinda like D&D on crack. They're just soldiers, but they're soldiers trained in a place that has made an entire economy out of cranking out giant badasses.

I've been working on the mechanics of my character so I haven't written the backstory section yet, but I'll let you know when it gets added.

In the mean time, Nightflier, I think the mechanics are solid and ready for review. Rolling for the last bits now-

7d4 + 41 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2) + 41 = 64 (using your homerule hit point system)

2d4 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14 for horse

Nightflier mentioned max hp somewhere up the thread. So no need to roll I think.. I may be wrong and it was max at first level though.

Yes, hps are max.

Sooooo many HPs...

One thing, guys. This game will start on November the 1st. So you have enough time to finish your characters.


Scranford/Spencer:
I'll start a history on my character, and include Spencer in it. Just let me know what to change.

Ugh. I just noticed that Spencer's last name is Rondell. I had a student named Rondell that was a was huge huge pain. One day after he served detention for me, he decided to go and smear crap all over as well as stuff it into two vending machines in the school. Then he urinated all over the handicap rail elevator. Nice kid.

Kun-Sun Min

Spoiler:
Sure, but I've changed his name to J'Larky when he became an Aasimar. My email address is scranford@earthlink.net if you want us to develop the background before posting on the boards. I've had some thoughts about growing up together in an orphanage...or in the same neighborhood, or something like that. Even twins...One parent had Celestial blood, and the other had Abyssal blood, that showed up in the twins. Maybe were forced together until J'Larky went off the temple training, then adventured together after that. Just some thoughts, so send me what you've got and we'll work on it together.

Or if you prefer just write yours, and let me know how J'larky fits in, and I'll write around it.

Right, getting a little numbers work done. Mostly complete at this point, except for a few things I'll have to fill in with books in front of me (at work right now, roleplaying is frowned on). One thing I'm unsure of, though, is traits. I just wasn't sure what to pick up, really. There's quite a few that wouldn't hurt, of course, but nothing's really jumped out at me. Anyone have ideas for a reasonably high int/dex fighter?

Oh yeah, and somebody mentioned to me that we get one of the background traits (child of etc.) extra. Is that the case?

That's not for this game. It's for Midnight.

Ok ,character number crunching done. Just need to add description, traits and backstory. Nightflier, is it ok if I take the inuitive learning trait?


scranford:
The last time, nightflier let us introduce our characters how we wanted. I was thinking that having our characters in a bar together, my character a little inebriated getting himself into trouble shooting dice or playing cards and starts a bar fight when he gets called on his cheating. Of course, your character gets involuntarily involved. Is that something you would want to go with?

Chops

Spoiler:
Sounds good to me. I'm travelling this week, but should be able to post most weekends. Still need to do character background, but hopefully I'll get it up tomorrow evening. What do you think about the idea of our characters secretly being twin brothers, both adopted in their infancy, and raised separately. Parents were both human; one with Celestial blood, and one with Infernal blood. It seems from your background maybe Kun-Sun is unaware he is adopted, but I see my character growing up as a ward of the church. Might make for a fun sidetrack as they become aware of their relationship over time.


Male Human Fighter 4, Cavalier 1, Paladin 2

Wasn't this thing going to kick off today?

That would be cool. Hell, they might even have both been raised by the church, but Kun's predilection for trouble and exploration, could have led him to run away at an early age. Eventually, he applied to the wizarding school and fate being fate, was partnered up with his long lost brother.

First post under the new character name. I think the character is done, just travelling this week, and will have to wait till the weekend to write up my marvelous history...

Are we getting this thing rolling sometime soon?

Guys, it seems I can't get enough sleep since returning from my business trip. I sleep for 12 hours per day and it's still not enough. I'm gonna get this thing rolling pretty soon. Just to get my breath back.


I'm sorry. I have to drop out. My wife and I had a conversation that included my gaming. I need to cut back on it some. I am still going to stay in the Midnight game though.

Ouch. That sounds less than pleasant. Sympathy.

No its fine. The biggest problem, I believe, is that my biggest hobby used to be motorcycling, but because of a business in the toilet, I had to sell it and that really sucked. Gaming became my new hobby last year and I jumped in with both feat. Now I am in two irregularly meeting games and have taken over running a campaign. Plus, I want to run a Dragonlance game sometime next year but I have to convert it all to Pathfinder and figure out what to do in a world with little to no healing magic. <Maybe I should do a Midnight game instead;)> The irregularly meeting games AND my Savage Tide games are all going to run this week. Count three nights gaming in one week. That, plus much of the time I am on the computer, I am prepping for an upcoming game or doing a pbp, so it seems like I am doing way too much. Too the missus's perspective, I am gaming all the time it seems.

Does sound like you've bitten off a bit much there. I'm a pretty avid gamer and you've got me beat, and I don't have a wife or a business to worry about. Glad you're sticking around in the midnight game.


Luckily, no more business. 2007 economy and ethics took care of that.

I can't see myself ever quitting the Midnight game.

No problem, I just wanted to make sure things were still on track to go.

Sorry to hear you're dropping, Chops/Kun-Sun, but I guess that's the way it goes. Good luck keeping the wife happy, 'tis a worthy endeavor.

I am sorry to see you go from this one, Chops, but the marriage is more important than any game. And, perhaps, it is the greatest RPG of them all. I'm glad you are staying in Midnight. :)

I'll keep my eye on this game and if I find myself with more time I can jump in if nightflier is okay with it.

Okay, guys. I need a definitive list of characters before I write an introductory post.


I'm in.
