DM: VofV
I found this dead god, a early teacher of Desna, which I think would be perfect for a lost secret cult with your approval of course. Maybe the monastery where my character was raised contains the last clues to his soul, and /or last relics of his existence.
Curchanus is a mostly-forgotten god who reigned over beasts, travel, and endurance. While Desna was still a young goddess, she would spend many nights listening to tales of his travels. Their long talks came to a sudden end when the envious goddess Lamashtu led Curchanus into a trap, robbing him of his dominion over beasts. This attack was too much for the god to withstand, and he was killed as a result of the theft. As his final act, he passed on his dominion over travel to Desna, who had always treasured the tales of his journeys.[1][2] It is said that this theft caused humans to lose their bond with animals, who thereafter only saw them with suspicion and mistrust.[2]
Some ancient shrines on remote paths still bear faint echos of the dead god's power.[2]
I saw the Blackraven Witch Warden in People of the North, and could default to that, but I think a ritually scared scary even more secret sect would be cool. Thoughts?
Daniel / Balodek - glad to know you like the recruitment write-up. Feel free to ask any questions you like of me now... just wait for the recruit thread to go live before pitching the full character.
i will probably go with druid, a cold- or specific animal-themed one. likely wolf or bear.
will any 3pp be allowed?
3PP would be through specific request and specific approval. I would be tighter with what I allow for the AP path than I was here with Black Monastery.
i might go with a barbarian though.
what if our whole party is barbarian? or perhaps more realistically has much more melee at the expense of a healer or trickster? or will you choose people for balance?
Ironically I have seen VoV run just that game (all fighter/barbarian types). It is...interesting.
I'll choose more off personality and writing rather than character class... but I probably won't go all martial for this PbP.
yeah after reading the tvtropes pages on those sagas, i was wondering if the game was headed in that direction.
little mention is made of trickster types, same for sorcerors. no real mention of healers is made.
i was thinking a dwarven fighter working towards armor bonded (3pp) although some of the "grafts" might need retuning, like "Metal Veins"
or perhaps a Fighter (Unarmed Fighter or Brawler) or Monk (Tetori)
How do you feel about the seeker archetype?
Seeker looks ok - the 3rd level power is quite strong, but limited due to the attachment to only mystery spells.
Armor Bonded I'm not keen on. Some of those grafts are completely out of whack with some of the others (DR 5/- I'm looking at you). So I'd have to say no on that.
ok i will stick with fighter or monk then. can't quite decide if i want to go with a grappler with high strength so he can rip arms off (is there a feat for that?) or just an ol' axe-dwarf.
such as this 3pp feat. I'd really love to play the crazy drunk who rips people's arms off
I'll be submitting a Winter oracle so that would be these spells:
Bonus Spells: endure elements (2nd), frost fall (4th), sleet storm (6th), ice storm (8th), icy prison (10th), cone of cold (12th), ice body (14th), polar ray (16th), mass icy prison (18th).
Can be powerful but only a few are direct attack spells.
Soooo.... I got bored and had a crap day at work... so I've launched Recruitment here.
Givers, hail! A guest is come in: where shall he sit?
In much hast is he, who on the ways has to try his luck. - Havamal
not 4 minutes after the post someone dotted for oracle of winter.
i do have one question, and i am quite positive that the answer is certainly no, but you cant get what you dont ask for. could i play a draugr?
the base idea is that he failed to stop the last cycle of white witches and has laid in his barrow in wait for this cycle, and only in their defeat can he find final rest.
That who dotted was Sasha above ;)
And no... no draugr.
oh and did you have a look at that 3pp feat i linked above? a yes or no on that will determine the initial direction in which i take my character.
It's a no to limb ripping as well - Pathfinder has something similar in UC though with the Jaw/Back/Neck-breaker feats.
yeah, i just wanted to actually rip their arms off and maybe use the Catch Off-guard feat to hit them with the ripped-off limb.
final wacky question from me (hopefully): would half-giant be a possibility (provided i went through the efforts to explain how it is that i am not killed on sight)?
failing that, would i be able to use the ARG's rules to create a new race (Jotun-bred, Half-Jotun, or something similar)? If so, how many RP would he be confined to (given that the range of races you have mentioned as possibilities for play range from 8 (half-orc) to 15 (aasimar))?
Again unfortunately I'd have to say no to the half-jotun.
And a very strong absolute no to ARG race building.

wow...lots of people applying for the game!! I dropped in a gnome sorcerer...he need to be reworked a bit, and a background written up, but I was trying to do something a little different...I was also thinking of a Aldori Swordlord or maybe a Molthune ranger with a couple or warhounds as companions....but really I could fill any niche that might be open...just looking forward to playing in this AP..if choosen, that is...
i just have to type up my poem and my first-person story and i should be good enough for submission.
yes! our first victory!
Hi Everybody. At a trade show till Friday, so posting might be spotty. DMPC Hess as required.
Your DM begs a humble forgiveness for his inactitude, combination of a teething baby, very very busy day at work and need to organize a trip out of country to renew visa took up my time.
it's all good
wow the imagery and sensory input in this module is pretty creepy. i dunno if it was already part of it or you added it GM, but i like it.
It's all in the manual :)
Hmm, i will cast it less then. don't want it to bother anyone.
Later today, I will be cutting off my internet so my posts will be sporadic at best for a few days until I get back to Hawaii. NPC my character as necessary if you like.
I'll be on a four day vacation starting at 11:55 tonight - disappearing down to Perth for a few days to do the familial visitation thing. Highly likely I'll be delayed in posting during that period
I am back in KL now and returning to the typical home routine... though will be another 8-24 hours before I get the first post back up in thread. Thanks for your patience :)
hope you had a good time!! welcome back
hope you had fun in australia
DM is still here - just going through a small real life loss of creative focus. Issue will rectify soon I am sure and I shall return to form. Patience is appreciated and please enjoy a cookie while you wait.
nice cookie.
Just a quick update - I'm getting my head back in the game and re-energized towards giving you guys better service then I have over the last few weeks. However the next three days I will be on a short roadtrip - getting put into a fake helicopter that they'll repeatedly drop into water upside down while I'm in it. As long as I get out without drowning I pass...
I'm hoping there will be interwebbage in the evenings... but I'm not certain.
HEAT?
HUET!
Net is limited here so updates will be waiting for another coupla days.
helo underwater egress trainer?
we just call it the helo dunker hahah
