If you want ot toss your hat go ahead and toss I'm gonna be a while anyway I'm not super familiar with alchemists I might jsut default to an archivist or detective bard out of familiarity.

Take a look at the Archaeologist Bard. They will likely meet the need and still not be a straight rogue or a bard with no trappy skills.

The other option that would give you Rogue like abilities is a Crypt Breaker Alchemist (from Inner Sea Magic).

They lose the mutagen for a Perception boosting version (which gives Darkvision or Scent), get boosted bombs vs Undead and Constructs, and trade out Brew Potion for Trapfinding (and the ability to take some trap related rogue talents as discoveries).

Ah yes, the lvls were a bit optimistic^^ HOR will soon level up and HORI also, there is going to be a shower of XP-Winter has already levelled up, I just forgot to bing!

Sadly I don't have inner sea magic but color me intrigued. I honestly want to play support as I have enough melee killers as is.


Tark - spoiler-ed below is the highlights. If you like it enough to want the exact wording I can throw that up tonight.

Crypt Breaker (Alchemist Archetype):
Major tradeoffs are as follows:
Mutagen is altered to give +4 Perception and a choice of Darkvision, Scent or Low-Light vision. Penalty is Light Blindness
Brew Potion is swapped for Trapfinding (as Rogue ability)
Bombs deal acid damage as standard (rather than fire), and deal d8 damage vs undead / constructs and d4 damage against everything else.
They also get access to the trap related rogue talents as discoveries.
At level 14, instead of Persistent Mutagen, their bombs threaten a crit against undead or constructs on 19-20.

in a hurry right now-will update all campaigns in an hour or so.

NINJALEVELS!

No, as in they snuck by us, not 'Winter takes a level in Ninja' (though that would be funny).


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

Yeah lol, ninja levels for all....*_*


VC - Sydney, Australia

...but what about a level of Pirate?


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

Will you stop that?

To players and slots:

I think HOR could alos live with one additional player (six are ok). So if Bilbo would join HOR, Tark could get into HOD?!

Yeah that could work.

Have almost completed the Winter build... HP time.
He went for his second (and most likely last) Pally level.

1d10 ⇒ 10

Woot!


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

Wow-not bad!


VC - Sydney, Australia

Yeah he's looking fairly good, too bad his gear is still craptacular :p

These AP's don't hand over much loot do they? :p

No way they keep you on WBL.


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

I have to admit that I'm also rather close-fisted with gear-but like in Runelords, the boss fight will give the party some gear.

Oh I'm not pointing fingers, but in Runelords and SD there is a bit of a slow trickle of wealth, but LoF appears to be the same... so its not you, its them. :)


Gimme a moment to review the offered game and I will hammer out a character for it.

@Shifty What's the deal with people nearly coming unglued at suggesting a sword meant for hacking off pike hedges would not be useful in a 3ft tall tunnel!?! LOL. Wow...

No sh!p. I had to bust out the 2nd ed book to quote on large weapon use and damage type governing method of use. Slashing just means that is the type of damage it does so I can thrust all day long with my great sword,my a$$, lol.

I love the internet.


What classes would be of use in HOR and what a the creation guidelines?

Indeed. I have gotten really good with the M16 so why is the world trying to nerf me by saying I can't blow up a tank with it? Hahaha.


VC - Sydney, Australia

It was a "4d6, take best 3" affair.
L3.
Dunno what the go is with start wealth.

We have a Ranger/Pally/Rogue(Thug)/Cleric/Bard.
Overall the party is 'mostly positive and good', as nice as it can be with a pair of half orcs... we had three half orcs, but one left and now we are sad.

If you say it can't be done then you are just trolling. I know for sure that when I was using one in CounterStrike I could totally pwn with it, and CS is a 100% accurate MilSim that was designed for top secret black level covert ops. I know this because a guy on MoH told me in Teamspeak and he showed proof on the internet that he was a Tier 1 operator.

Not only was he the second guy on the balcony with the SAS on that fateful day, but he was actually one of the dudes who trained and went in with seal team 6.

I totally rocked the last round of Airsofting with one at our LARP War, and as the airsoft guns are 100% totally accurate replicas that provides PROOF.

Anything said otherwise is just plain FIAT and badwrongfun poor GM'ing.

Did that sound about right?


Male Gnome Sorcerer/9 - (HP: 49/49 - AC20;FF17;T18 - F+5;R+6;W+7 - Init+9 - Per+11)

You sure you have 5 in HoR - I think the Bard is just hanging out in town and trying to pick up business/stir up trouble. (At least as long as you guys keep hiding in your fort). You guys stay in the fort much longer and I will have convinced the who town that the "Saviours" are in fact orc agents who were the leaders of the goblin raid.

Well the group has two factions "innocent and nieve" and "bloodthirsty adn jaded" Karlan sits strictly in the middle. He jsut finds it easier to let HArry do his thing since he's a touch better at convincing people. In his mind it's better for the guy to be intimidated and have their feelings hurt later then have ot put them to the sword now for being uncooperative and a danger.

In any case we're still trying to get a bard into the group though she's off on a solo adventure.

Yep realised that, hence the 'err.. yes.'


Male Orc Expert 5

Hmmmm liking the crpyt breaker. So thinking halfling alchemist so I don't have to make a new alias just reskin Berry.

I could honestly use some more detail on those abilities though.


Full Crypt Breaker text:
Crypt breakers are most common in Osirion, where they use their powers of perception and alchemical adaptation to safely investigate the mysteries of that lands' past. They are often involved in expeditions into dangerous tombs and catacombs, where their ability to create alchemical devices designed to neutralize constructs and undead are often crucial to survival. A crypt breaker has the following class features.
Alkahest Bombs (Su): A crypt breaker's bombs are specially designed to work best against constructs and corporeal undead - two foes commonly encountered in ancient tombs. Known as alkahest bombs, these bombs deal acid damage instead of fire damage. Alkahest is an alchemical fluid that eats away unliving flesh and animated constructs, but it doesn't work as well against other targets. Against constructs and corporeal undead, alkahest bombs deal 1d8 points of damage, plus 1d8 points of damage for every odd-numbered level instead of 1d6. Against all other creatures, alkahest bombs deal 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 points of acid damage for every odd-numbered level. This ability otherwise functions as and replaces the standard alchemist bomb class feature.
Crypt Breaker's Draught (Su): Rather than develop mutagens that increase their natural armor and physical abilities at the expense of their minds, crypt breakers focus on the creation of special draughts that can enhance their senses. When a crypt breaker drinks one of these draughts, he gains a +4 bonus on all Perception checks and gains one of the following special senses: darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, or scent. While under the effects of a crypt breaker's draught, the alchemist also gains light blindness. This ability replaces the mutagen class ability (a crypt breaker cannot create mutagens unless he selects the mutagen discovery from Ultimate Magic).
Trapfinding: A crypt breaker adds 1/2 his level on Perception checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum +1). A crypt breaker can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps. When determining the ability of a crypt breaker to deal with locks or traps, treat his alchemist levels as rogue levels. This ability replaces the Brew Potion bonus feat.
Discoveries: A crypt breaker may take the following rogue talents as discoveries: quick disable, trap sense, and trap spotter. Treat the crypt breaker's alchemist level as his rogue level for these talents.
Enhanced Alkahest (Su): At 14th level, a crypt breaker's alkahest grows more potent. Against constructs and corporeal undead, the crypt breaker's alkahest bombs deal +1 points of damage per die, and the bomb threatens a critical hit on a 19-20. This does not stack with other effects that improve critical hit threat ranges. This ability replaces persistent mutagen.

Gregori is finding much difficulty in charging headlong into gunfire and death without there being a map to show damage to fascist camp. Gregori is much drunk. But is not thiking that so drunk to make reality not exist. In meantime will listen to patriotic songs from motherland.

To spare the HoD group anymore insanity I decided to go with a half orc instead I just found nothing super appealing about being a half ling. I kind of wanted to be gnome but couldn't jsutify that to myself either.


ooh, nice map for HO Riddles, ZZ.

Boneyard is also slang for a place where old equipment is tossed for possible spare parts scavenging later. I think in the case of Riddleport it is just referring to the town dump.


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

@ Pitr:

That makes sense, it seems to be some kind of ship dump-as far as I know "Spar" is also a nautical term, right?

I have to admit that I like the HOP much better^^ The first time I could use a tank token^^


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

@ Shifty:

How often are people bit by taipans(Oxyuranus scutellatus)?

spar is a big pole like a mast. so sez the monkey.

I have a general campfire question:

Do you guys want a last warning before you do something that would lead to a pretty sure TPK? Or is life as hard as it is and you take everything as it comes?

@ Stiehl: You can't say "yes" to an either/or question :)


Dungeon Master

Zyren,

I have grown pretty fond of my characters, so dropping a hint before we go into TPK is actually very helpful! I will make a point to try and exercise a little more caution in my gaming. Thanks for the heads up!


Divine Gamemaster of the Abyss and below...

I wouldn't expect Celestra to be the cause of it, though :)


Male Pale Master

D'oh! I meant that 'yes' Id definitely want a warning. That would be the kind of instance where I imagine the little red robed Dungeon Master appears and says "think carefully of what you are about to do'. ^_^
