Reincarnated Druid = Clint Eastwood?


Conversions


Has anyone else read the Reincarnated Druid and immediately thought that if you equipped the druid with a firearm it could be the Man with No Name character played by Clint Eastwood?

How would you build a Man with No Name gun user using Reincarnated Druid?

Alternately, how would you apply the Man with No Name concept to the Gunslinger?

- Gauss

P.S. For those unfamiliar with the 'Man with No Name' he was the character played by Clint Eastwood in the Dollars Trilogy (Fistfull of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Additionally, Eastwood's movie, High Plains Drifter is a similar character.


Gunslinger with the Revenant template. ;)


Hmmm, looking for the template I cannot find it. I found the Revenant but it has no template. - Gauss


Hmmmm, perhaps the Man with No Name is before most peoples time. Hehehe

i have seen it but i have no idea other then a home made archtype if it was my game i would just one for one switch some stuff


I don´t really know why you would need a reincarnated druid for that.
The Man with No Name doesn´t actually die in the films.

I would probably make him a Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger


There's also the Pale Stranger monster.


You could also give the reincarnated druid a horse animal companion.
OR you could ride through the desert on a wildshaped reincarnated druid.


High Plains Drifter was a dead character (stated). The Man with No Name was alluded to having died but never stated outright. In both cases it is the reincarnated druid's stranger aspect (bonus against sense motive checks to determine who he is.) In one (High Plains Drifter) it is certainly the reincarnated element. - Gauss


C'mon they're handing it to you. Take the No Name feat, and be a mysterious stranger.


Doh, I hadn't seen that one. Nice. Not quite the same power the druid gets...but nice all the same. - Gauss


Hmmmm I see someone moved this to conversions. Except that it is not 'converting' any game system into any other game system. Just asking for ideas on how to do a build within existing rules. - Gauss


I have a 'Man with No Name/Mysterious Stranger' themed Gunslinger in the works for my GF's post-apocalypse campaign... Have been watching a LOT of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne movies lately...

Mysterious Stranger archetype with the No Name feat. Beyond that its all fluff. If the Pistolero is accurate, you'd be able to mix it with the Mysterious Stranger... Not entirely sure how accurate it's swaps would be with the whole Eastwood/Wayne-esque characters of the movies, but it's certainly cheesy... two grit points for Base pistol damage + pistolero 1d6 to 5d6 + charisma modifier + dex mod + (after 9th lvl) 1 to 3? Cheesed, and I don't plan on it myself, lol.

Either way, hoping for more people to chime in on the topic. I'd like to know myself.

Edit: Also, for her camaign I'm taking the "Hunter's Blood" social trait. I just found the idea of the Mysterious Stranger w/ No Name feat + Hunters Blood fluff and effect = cool.

"You didn’t choose the path of the hunt, the hunt chose you. You were born inside a family of those dedicated to hunting the undead. Since an early age you were taught the tools of the trade, how to hunt and kill your quarry. Be careful when using your family name – it’s better known than you are.

Benefit: You earn a +1 trait bonus on Diplomacy when used to gather information, Knowledge (religion), and Survival when used for tracking when related to an undead quarry. Choose one as these as a class skill. The undead have a +1 bonus on any roll to learn about you, as your family’s fame precedes you."

Your thread is essentially trying to "convert" Clint Eastwood to Pathfinder. Kind of weird logic, but these kinds of "help me build X character" threads get moved to Conversion all the time.


Start with Hang 'Em High, move to Good/Bad/Ugly as the first of the three chronologically even though it was the third filmed, Dollars, A Few Dollars More, High Plains Drifter finish with Pale Rider.

If memory serves, I believe the Preacher's pistols that he retrieves from the box have a certain silver rattlesnake on the grips.

Mysterious Stranger (not pistoleer since he uses long arms often enough), No Name feat is picked up ~3rd level after Hang 'em High. Only name given during the trilogy is Manco from the scene with the newspaper guy that Angel Eyes talks to. During GBU is when he acquires the poncho worn in the two Dollars movies.

I have got to see if my home video collection has all of these now ... to make a Sphagetti Western Weekend out of them!

Easiest way to explain the "having died before" is the Extra Lives Horrifically Overpowered feat in a recently released 3pp.
