The drow lost Celwynvian to the elves, the result of a foolish young matron. Yet the elves could not hold the city, their are still danger's lurking. An organization called the Wovirl have come from the darklands to take back the city. Your going to take back the lost city and more.
I am looking for 2-3 players maybe more depending. The adventure has already started but is still early so anyone chosen will be coming into an existing group. I am looking for players that will use sound tactical thinking otherwise you will get killed. I am not out to kill you but if you do something in poor judgement expect a reaction by the enemy.
The setting is Celwynvian after the drow were driven out, the great houses of Zirnakaynin want the city back in the hands of the drow. Yet none are willing to send their personal forces so they left it to a mercenary organization called the Wovirl which the PC's recently joined. You will be part of a group that is spear heading the mission.
Character Creation
Level-7
Ability Scores-25 point buy
Race-Drow Noble
Class-Any (We already have a Summoner, Magus, and Inquisitor)
HP-Max at 1st lvl, Half +1 afterwards
Traits-2 plus 1 tied to your backstory and approved by me.
Money-25,000 gp
When it comes to your backstory do not have any ties with a House. I think that covers everything. If I missed anything or you have questions feel free to ask.
Duagloth- A Melee fighter, who Joined Wovirl after he trained at the Martial Acadamy for while and realized money was in other business.
Dotting. I've been thinking about a Monk with one or all of the Nightmare feats, and this might fit the concept nicely. I'll flesh it out and see what comes of it.
EDIT: Question - Alignment. CE? Any Evil? Something else?
A chance to play a drow noble? Nice, I'm thinking wizard, I'll get something statted up soon.
Alignmentwise I would lean towards N and avoid chaotic sense the Wovirl are more structured.
Edit-You can play CE if you think you can play it right. There is one already in the game. The other two are NE.
How evil or adult does the game get? Or is alignment subjective, as in we're nationalist and loyal to the drow...
Interested, currently stating out a Cavern Sniper fighter variant.
Here we go. Done with most of the mechanical aspects - still need to write character description, trait selection, backstory and so on.
Point buy, 25 pts:

Stating up a Mobile Fighter. Not set on using a two-bladed sword or simply two-short swords/kukri.
Thinking Lawful Evil. Mercenary type and does whatever is necessary to get the job done.
More on that later.
Quick question (not familiar with traits, every game I played never used them)
We choose two trait (thus must be from different lists) but the third one, tied to our background, can it be from one of the same lists or not ?
Also, do you allow the armored kilt ? http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/armor
@Hassan
The game wont be any more or less evil and adult then most games unless the PC's choose to make it so. Alignment is mostly how you choose to play. For exmple CE I would not advise sense teamwork and taking orders will be required, failing etheir of these will not be good for the PC or the party.
@Laereth
You can choose any two traits as long as they are PF and you quailify for them. The third one must be tied to your background and meet what was stated above. The list they are in does not matter, thats just a way to help find them quickly in the srd.
Someone had to ask... Psionics? Always wanted an Psion/Elocator. Never mind that.
Female Cleric 3/Monk 4 of Nethys, Rune/Defense (maybe Monk Archetype)
Str 8, Dex 18, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 16, Cha 16
Sorry no Psionics. I would find that backstory an interesting read considering the choices made.
|
Do you mind if we combine magic items? Like, a cloak of Elvenkind with Resistance tacked on as well? As per Adding New Abilities, of course.
Edit: Also, do you mind if I use Sonic Slap from these Energy Cantrips SKR put up on his site? They were meant to be used with 3.5, but could be easily brought over. I'd just like a melee touch attack damaging cantrip, and that is my preferred one from the list.
Edit 2: Also, the Penumbra cantrip, from the blog post, Ultimate Cantrips.
A little more for flavor:
LN Female
Cleric 3/Monk 4 of Nethys
Cleric Domains, Rune/Defense
Monk Archetype, Sacred Mountain/Hungry Ghost
Str 8, Dex 18, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 16, Cha 16
Honestly, I'm not sure how to hook in a backstory... do you have specific material I could study? Don't know enough specifics about the Underdark.
I remember that females have a special place and are associated with Divine Magic (Lolth stuff, old school). Not sure if it's the same here.
Maybe trained as a temple guard, maybe a member of a fallen family/house trying to prove herself... Born Leader (trait), Commando of some sort. Should fit in with a bunch of Mercs.
Weapon Finesse mitigates the low strength (maybe Opening Volley, +4 melee attack after successful ranged attack - shuriken?), AC 19 right out of the box, no items.
Some utility crafting Craft Wondrous Item (Nethys, and all)... something to cast Shield (Defense domain spell) a few times a day. Maybe Mage Armor... AC 23 or 27.
Move 40, Ki & HP Drain (for Underdark flavor). Blast Runes are fitting, too I think with tunnels and such.
And, buffs party defense.
Thinkin' a mystical GI Joe "Snake Eyes".

This is Nyx: Drow Noble Ranger. I am working out his backstory now. So far, he and his Shadow Cat, Nagmerrie, have been hunting the elves for as long as they can remember. Nyx rides Nagmerrie, but does not usually fight from his mount, prefering to flank foes with his cat.
Nyx is a switch hitter with emphasis in melee. He handles many of the Rogue skills too to fulfill that role.

Very cool! Have you considered giving up Favored Terrain for adding the "Infiltrator" archetype? Becoming the monsters you hunt.
With Humanoid (Elf) and Aberrations, could use Weapon Familiarity (Elven Curved Blade, seems poetic, I know it's not much more than Falchion). And, +2 Natural Armor.
Just a thought considering... how many combats should we really have a day... 3, 4... 7?
Just a thought.
@Edgar
Having custom magic items is fine as long as the price is right as per the rules. If you dont mind have the math out for such items so I can check, I know from exp how tricky custom item cost can be sometimes. As for sonic slap I will have to say no. While penumbra will not be needed if your worried about light blindness on the surface, if its for something else I am fine with it.
@Hassan
Pathfinder has Into the Darklands, they dont call it the Underdark. Also their are a number of articles about the drow in the Second Darkness AP. If you do not have access to any of these PM me. Pathfinder drow are a good deal different then 3e, I can say that much.
@Darksmokepuncher
Off the top of my head I have never heard of a shadow cat in PF. Could you let me know the source?
@Edgar
If you reduce the damage die its the same as the PF spells, only those can all be foiled by SR unlike the PF spells. I really dont see the point of it. Is there a certain reason you want those spells?

@DM Irthos, I'm looking for a melee damaging cantrip. I don't intend one to be my primary tactic, it's more of an "I'm in melee, and I'm out of 1st level spells, what do" sort of thing.
Also, PF ranged cantrips do 1d3, like the ranged cantrips on that page.
Edit: Fixed my formatting.
Edit 2: Can I also get an answer regarding picking up an Extra Ninja Trick with a feat?
@Edgar
Yeah I am still going to have to say no. In that case escape should be the only thing on your mind. As for the extra ninja trick, the class is just a different version of rogue so its fine. Its the same thing really.

This looks awesome... because I am DMing the opposite campaign "Quest of the Shin'Rakorath" (band of Drow-hunting elves in Celwynian, described in second darkness).
I would really like to get involved in a campaign like this.
Likely a devout female Demonic Apostle (Cleric) 7.
I'll get to fleshing this puppy out ASAP.
Oh, I forgot to ask: Are we using the Hero Point system? If so, can I use the Antihero optional rule?
Second, I'd like to have a Masterwork item that gives a bonus to Stealth checks, such as a dark grey cloak or similar. Would that be acceptable?

As you can see, she prepares healing spells each day. Since she's evil, I cannot get positive healing, and cannot get variant healing, unless somehow you'd consider an unaligned Drow, in which case i've got more options there. Though, I'm not too keen on going against the true alignment of Drow. Any thoughts on that?
Bottom line, she will be preparing cure spells for the party as an evil cleric. I'm open to feedback if you'd like to share any thoughts on my build so far.
Done! Oh, I should clarify my feats on my character's page and clarify the gold spent on gear, as well as get some cheap inconsequential items, but my traits, physical description, backstory and personality are finished, so mostly, Laele Tuin is now a finished character. Yay!
Do speak up if you have opinions on the build/character.

Backstory still to come. I'm done for the night though.
I'll post my Full stats tomorrow, or later tonight. But here's a Hint. Rogue 3, Fighter 3, Assassin 1. Wields Elven Curve Blade. It works trust me.
I put together a build/crunch here for my LE Hungry Ghost Monk: Zendross Zil'Doren.
I decided to go with the Moonlight Stalker rather than Nightmare fist as it fit with the concept. I still need to write the background, make purchases and perhaps a few minor tweaks. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Question: What era is this set in? Any source books that players can look at to get an idea of the area and the history? I'd like to know a bit more before putting together a background to be sure it's not anachronistic.
I just gotta say as fair warning, I dropped out of this game after almost dying in the first combat, and then being killed in the first round of the next combat (from full health). Expect brutally difficult encounters, with lots of ability drain. Have fun, and good luck!
Putting my name in for interest to play either a Ranger (focused on tracking, trapping and enslaving) or possibly a Druid (still playing with how that would look).
A good deal of post today. I will try to address everything and if I miss something let me know. But a few things I would like to start off with. We lack a healer so those characters will get a bit more consideration, still everyone will be considered carefully. Also I said from the start that tactics would play a part and poor tactics would have an effect. Jelani's poor choice of tactics got his character killed, the encounters are not overly brutal but tough at times. Sometimes the dice will just give you a tough enemy, I use a table for random encounters. You want to live and more so win then your going to have to think on your options for combat, knowing what your dealing with helps too.
@Edgar
That depends on what you want to change it to and if you can come up with a reason you would be born with that SLA over the norm for other drow nobles.
@Laele
I am not using the Hero Point system. As for the stealth item, Cloak of Elvenkind kinda covers it. Any masterwork item of that kind would only work on certain terrain so it would just be better to get the magic item as its not that costly and does not hold such a limitation.
@Drider
Due to the adventure I would prefer no demonic connection sense the Wovirl are lawful in nature, their goal's by extension may go against demonic interest. As for alignment I am open to any with reason, any good better have a great backstory, so not impossible but not the norm. The Wovirl is made up of mostly LN, LE, NE, and N.

Sounds good, I'll get that fixed ASAP. This will really open up my possibilities. I'm thinking N as her Brixana's alignment. I'll be taking positive affinity for spontaneous curing, with Versatile Channeler for an offensive kick. This will also open up my spell selection.
As a question of back-story, does "Drow Noble" necessarily mean that she's from a "noble" bloodline?
Edit: Will also have to get rid of Demonic Apostle template.
@Drider
Drow nobles are born at 1 out of 20 drow. So being born one does not mean your from a house or even the child of nobles. For the adventure its some what needed not to be tied to a house. So its pretty much open for what you want to do background wise.
P.S. Yes I know way to much about drow. xP
@DSP
The tiger is fine. Your ranger looks good to me. I would change terrain from underground to forest sense you wont be spending much time underground for a good while. Also what are you going for with him?
I guess my post got lost in the masses.
Made some further refinements and have started to play around with the purchases. Tactics-wise, I see him making copious use of the Deeper Darkness (he gets to re-roll miss chances and also gets a bonus from concealment). Growth-wise, over the next few levels, he'll be staying as monk and finish picking up the Snake Style feat chain.

Of course it does not hold that limitation - it is the difference between a competence bonus and a circumstance bonus. On one hand, a Inherent bonus in talent versus taking advantage of the enviroment and resources for a circumstantial benefit on the other hand.
I am picking a masterwork cloak that gives a +2 cirumstance benefit to visual Stealth checks in forests and similar. Here we go:
Masterwork Cloak, Dark Green
This masterwork item gives a +2 benefit to visual Stealth checks as appropriate, mainly Forests/Jungles.
This item is enchanted as a +2 Cloak Of Resistance.
@Laele
I have never seen that item could you give me the source so I can check it out. Also I dont get the last part, are you adding it to a cloak of resistance +2?
@Dark Netwerk
Sorry I missed it. You may want to pick up common as you'll be on the surface a good deal. Other then that it looks good. As for the era without spoiling anything it takes place after the events of Second Darkness but I left things vague so as not to tie to much into that. The drow were pushed out of the city and the Wovirl are there to take it back. For source books they have articles in the Second Darkness AP that talk about the city as well as drow related things, the city is in the Mierani Forest in Varisia. So you can look up things in that area as well, nothing from the new Varisia book sense I dont have it yet.

No wonder you have not seen it before. Essentially, the way I understand masterwork items, any item designed to help someone complete a skill can be made as a masterwork item, costing 50 gold and giving +2 circumstance bonus - with the obvious ones being instruments, climbing kits, and so on. I just suggested a masterwork item I considered reasonable, after you rightly pointed out its circumstantial nature.
Another Masterwork item I'd consider reasonable would be a set of books worth roughly 500g that gives a +2 bonus to each separate knowledge check when there is opportunity to check these books for help.
As for the second question - exactly. A Masterwork Cloak enchanted by a caster as +2 Cloak of Resistance.
Obviously, you are the GM. Forbid, allow, house rule or modify the above – or anything else- as you see fit.

Masterwork Items
Just as a commentary, I've never seen masterwork tools interpreted that way. I believe that is referring to a masterwork tool associated with any given crafting profession, to improve your chances of success.

Eh, the text describing masterwork tools/items (both words are used within the text) is unspecific enough that that does not suprise me. The previously mentioned set of books was my first introduction to masterwork tools, as an aside, that my GM at the time threw at the party. Made the wizard happy, that.
Example of non-crafts:
Tools, Thieves', Masterwork
Source Core Rulebook
This kit contains extra tools and tools of better make, which grant a +2 circumstance bonus on Disable Device checks.
Healer's Kit
Source Core Rulebook
This collection of bandages and herbs provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks. A healer's kit is exhausted after 10 uses.
@Maverick
You should consider picking up Common, where did you get DR 15/magic? Also what role do you see your guy playing?
@Laele
Yeah I dont feel good allowing that sense that would pretty much allow you to get a +2 to any skill by spending very little gold. As for the books that give a bonus to knowledge they already exist, Pathfinder Chronicle's. You just need to buy one for each knowledge and they are cheaper. So in this case I am sticking with what PF already has, just saved you 450 gp a pop. ;)
