Imm, looking at the group I would recommend wizard over summoner for spell selection to broaden the arcane casting a bit. That is a recommendation not from the AP itself but just the party makeup thus far from what I am seeing.
Variel Nightstorm |
You would make my life hell with that many summons wouldn't you. Just remember take out the summoner and the summons go away. Guess who the target is once they learn that...
Threats aside it should be ok.
Variel Nightstorm |
Ok I will admit I have not looked at the mythical rules set yet but was reading the AP itself. For right now don't worry about that mythic book yet as it won't come into play till book 2 in the AP as far as I can tell. Instead find which campaign trait works best for you and go with that. The mythical rules tie in to those instead.

If i went Paladin, Rain Jiro and I could be related due to angelic bloodlines, With the paladin is not as motivated to enter the Crusade as a Holy Warrior to start, but gets into it to protect his kin (hence the Sacred Shield archetype)
Or I'm really looking at Going Bard, Whip-mastery spec,
Maelchar |
Link worked fine for me, thanks Imm
Maelchar |
I am also using Touched by Divinity, Rain and the book suggests we have the same deity - so who's it to be? I have no particular preference as long as it's a god that allows LG followers of course. :)
Variel Nightstorm |
Four Aasimars all together. Wow that will make things interesting. Could you imagine if Adular and Flynn made tieflings...not.
So we have:
Summoner: buffer and summons: child of the crusades
Inquisitor: damage dealer: touched by divinity
Paladin: defensive and damage
Oracle: healing and damage: touched by divinity
Maelchar |
I can work with that, no problem, I will just have to read up on Iomedae and pick a domain... thanks for picking one because i was kind of at a loss as to who to go with. :)
Rain Taneththir |
I chose the GOOD domain for mine, just so you know. I spent some time looking at the gods last night. Iomedae was my first choice followed by Sarenrae.
Domains associated with Iomedae are: Glory, Good, Law, Sun and War.
And Imm, I like that connection between us and Jiro's character.
Maelchar |
My background I was contemplating was that Maelchar was raised by the church, for reasons not divulged at this time, so brought up alongside the two of you within the church as a member of your age-set, or even adopted by your parents, would work fine. let me know what works for you.
Rain Taneththir |
Jiro, I think that connection is fine and works well with the three of us. I like the idea that our parents adopted you, possibly as an older child?
Now how does Dhaavan's Aasimar connect to us? Possibly a relation - a cousin?
Maelchar |
I'm torn between good and law domains... still contemplating...
Rain Taneththir |
I like the idea that we began knowing Jiro's character from church and then our parents adopted him as an older child (10 years old)?
Ninja'd by Imm this time. lol
Okay, I asked this before but I don't think you saw it Imm. Who's the oldest sibling? I was think of making Oriana 68 years old. How old is your guy and Jiro's?

I'm torn by Monk, Stolen Fury
or some sort of sorcerer or wizard Rift WardenEither way, I won't be an Aasimar :)
If there's something we really need instead, let me know.

Well if you went Rift Warden, you could have been brought up in the church as well, being fostered by our parents or by another family in the church. Either way we would have close contact. If you went stolen fury, you could have come to the church seeking answers on the ritual and we all struck up a friendship.
imimrtl |
I can be oldest or middle, it doesn't matter to me. This character will be going very supportive and tactically oriented. Calling out maneuvers and such on the battlefield and basically going for not necessarily party leader but a person who can lead if that makes sense.

Oh, I'll definitely try to form attachments and friendships with as many of the other characters as I can. I may steal your ideas there as they seem a good way to establish the basics.
imimrtl |
Variel, since we have so many aasimar, would you be willing to let me roll on the table for alternate aasimar abilities? I know normally to do that with tieflings you have to take Fiendish heritage. I would be willing to do the same here even though a feat called celestial heritage doesn't exist. Let me know. I am rolling below three times like fiendish heritage allows in case you allow it.
1d100 ⇒ 69
1d100 ⇒ 70
1d100 ⇒ 19
Maelchar |
sounds like a good idea immtl
1d100 ⇒ 18
1d100 ⇒ 37
1d100 ⇒ 80

Or I'm really looking at Going Bard, Whip-mastery spec. Im looking at different races, but could roll with an Aasimar Musetouched for a boost to Dex/Cha as a Bard and take a bunch of perormance enhancing feats =P
I'd be from an azata as opposed to angel so the chaotic character in a group of LG lol...
Rain Taneththir |
Waiph, my character and Imm's are natural-born siblings. We met Jiro through the church and when his character was 10, our parents adopted him. So, I'm wondering, will you be a cousin perhaps to us?
Dhaavan |
Depending on which Aasimar I go for, it may be odd to have an Azata-born in a family with Angels, but Since your famiy has cout and a strong Celestial boodlline, my character could be sent there to the temple as his family fights the wars.
I coud have a history with Adular's character, and bring him in, as Flynn's is pushinr mine to take a more active role
Variel Nightstorm |
Yeah you can take the feat celestial heritage to gain a random ability. Just assume that any strange physical deformity that grants the bonus is removed.
Waiph I apsaw your rolls but didn't see the cha or con increase. The chart online gave only wisdom for your roll of 90.

I'm still waffling between the Stolen Fury Monk and the sorcerer or wizard Rift Warden. It seems like we have a lot of skirmishers, so the monk might be redundant but the Champion role sounds fun. The Rift Warden has an interesting mystery involved, but a melee type might be easier for me to run.
Then again, you guys have always been quite helpful so that might not be an issue.
Variel, you're GM for this one, any suggestions on which the group needs more? the only thing I'm not interested in is the trickster
waiph |
Ridge, I playtested an Archmage and they're awesome. They have an ability (wild arcana) that let's em cast any spell on their list (not known or prepped but the WHOLE LIST) for one mythic point, and sweet powers, pus we don't have a FULL arcane caster so a sorc/wiz coud be nice to have... but is yo call.
I'm tryin ta find a trap-finder bard I llike, tu use for skil monkey-ing cause we don't have a trap-finder. Think we need one?
Variel Nightstorm |
From what I have seen thus far, granted it is only book 1, a wizard/sorceror would be better than the monk. that is not to say that you can't go with it, but a full arcane caster like that would fit better.
Waiph, I am at work and cant pull up the OGL here but will look when I get home. As for a trap finder, every AP has traps built in so its your call. If you do go that route then the group looses the tank. Something else to consider.
Ridge |
@Waiph, I did not know about that wild arcana option (I'm still looking over the mythic rules) but yeah, that's SWEET. It certainly gives a sorcerer like edge to the wizard's expertise.
If no one plays a paladin, I'll be very surprised. This AP is probably the most paladin friendly one I've heard of in awhile. If you're asking for just anyone's opinion, that's the one I'd suggest over the bard, but either could be useful and you should play what you like.
@Variel- Thanks. I'll see what I can whip up on a Riftwarden traited fellow.
Sir Garith Mordrand |
Sacred Shield may not be the most optimized build, but I'm gonna do it! And with some buffing, he'll make a sweet tank.
Since its siy to PM half the party w/ an intro. Kinda vague and ill written, but phone is hard
Garrith is a cousin who's ine split the generation after the celestial influence in the family boodline. His side has had fewer Aasimar, and are mainly Knights/Cavaleres on the darker side of the Crusade, some members spitting off and becoming Low Tempar. Not fitting we'll with his kin, as a more soft-spoken fellow with no horse-sense he found his way to other relations. (Rrain,imm,jiro). Game can be shorty after he starts hanging with them, so they know he's not like most of the Mordrand Knights.
He struggles to find his place, following his calling to the just battle, when he is really wishes he could llive a peacefull life, to sing, love and laugh. But the evils he's witnessed prevent him from fleeing the wordwound, honor-bound to hold the darkness at bay.
Whatcha think? Driven by his fam's dishonor and wartorn childhood to be an even more shining example or rightiousness?
Maelchar |
background as is, Waiph, looks like a good way in with the others- remember that Maelchar is not exactly a relative - he's adopted, but still.. anyway, looks like an interesting background with some personal stuff to overcome in the course of the game. Not bad for a quick phone post, lol
Imm - teamwork feats sounds fine to me, though I have a few I want to take of my own in the fullness of time, they can wait to some degree, so yeah, neat idea.
