Mummy's Mask! Need a Tank / Melee Forntliner!


Recruitment


We've had a member of our group have some RL issues effect his gameplay lately and as such we are looking for a melee frontliner/tank to fill in.. The original player was running a Bloodrager.. This is a fast pace game with a post requirement of 5/day-1/day weekends, so if you can't meet ot at least get close to that dont apply.. I will bot you in the case of absence, as i understand this is a game and RL happens, but if it becomes an often thing you will be replaced..

A bit about my GM style.. Im a fairly laid back, knowledgable GM and my players are as well.. If I make a mistake feel free to call me on, just dont be a turd about it.. I tend to move through the RP parts rather quickly in favor of the combat parts.. Ill give you the gist of the npcs, but im not gonna sit down to diner with your characters a share lifestories.. I hate to railroad it like this, but imo to much rp makes the game bog down on pbps.. If at any time u wish to know more about an npc feel free to ask them more about themselves.. If you dont than ill assume you care not about them and give you the pertenant info about said npc.. The game is/can be rated R at times so if your squeamish than this might not be the place for you.. I play rough and challenge my group, but with great risk comes great reward. Do not expect a easy going free ride to the end.. I will murder your character if he/she makes poor decisions.. Im not going to put you up against unbeatable odds but it will be tough at times.. So just be warned.. Now to the good stuff..

4th level, we are finishing the first book soon..
25 point buy
2 traits, 1 must be campaign
Core plus Ifrits, Oreads, Sylphs, Undines(with a good backstory seeing as your in a desert), and Sulis.. If you wanna play something else ask and we'll see..

As far as alignment goes all good and neutral are ok..

All classes are gtg except gunslingers and summoners..

WBL for 4th level..
Hp are max for 1st, Average +1 after or if you play the odds you can roll, but you keep what you roll. No redo's or deciding to go average after..

Bonus feat based on backstories..

I would advise downloading the free players guide and reading up.. Like I said the group is just finishing up the first book and will be start Empty Graves soon..

One last thing.. Im tweaking this module a bit and adding 5 tiers of Mythic, 1 at the end of each book, to the PCs.. I like running things hard and this gives me a guilt free concious for murdering you all.. So with that in mind your characters will be 1st tier mythic.. Since your new to town I expect to see how you gained this mythicness in your background..

Any other questions feel free to ask..

Cheers! Or in case your a Mummy a deep moan will suffice..

Just putting highlights and emphasizing a bit.

We're currently at 20 post/day rate in gameplay thread, but one of the players is not keeping up (meaning we could probably be going faster). So please take that in mind.

The four of us are basically 3 pure casters (with a damage-dealer companion) and a specialized archer.

Do you want to see something that's traditionally in that Tank role or is a high con melee front-liner acceptable?

I've had a Dwarven Druid dedicated to Sobek stuck in my head for a while now. He'd be pretty much entirely melee / grapple focused.

I've been itching for a chance at this campaign for a long while and would love to give it a shot.

Are Pahmet acceptable as PC option for you?

I'm not 100% on the Mythic rules, so I'll have to go do some reading for that.


I assume your talking about Sand Dwarves.. I don't own the book their from. Are they any different from traditional dwarves stat wise? If so can you copy/paste them in a spoiler for me to look at? If it's purely a fluff issue I have no problems..

I suppose I should have listed the other classes in the party..

Cleric/Wizard heading to MT
Arcanist
Druid caster based/wolf companion
Slayer with a bow..

With that in mind i wouldnt say no to a druid, just try not to step on the other druids toes.. This position is for a pure frontliner tank.. If your build can accomplish this by all means go for it..

Dark Archive

It's just a fluff thing.

They're detailed in People of the Sands if you've got that.


Color me interested. The pacing seems right up my alley. I will be submitting a melee Oracle. I will have to give the Mummy's Mask Player's Guide a read, but I know the mythic rules, and I know how to build melee Oracles who can keep up with fighters.


As long as you either have the Hps or the AC to be the frontline tank, by all means..


I had an idea for an Oread Fighter going into Living Monolith. Is it too late to apply?


I've had an idea floating around for an orc barbarian (half-orc if you don't allow orcs) for quite some time. I'd have to update him for your creation rules but you can definitely color me interested. My only issue is being at work during the day and not being able to post for the ~6 hours I'm there other than on my lunch. Although evenings (EST) I'm almost always free.


I favor the Druid! (I'm running the caster druid, would like to see Melee Druid in action...)


I'll have this recruitment open until Friday at the latest.. I'll close it early if a suitable submission is found before then.. That said if you're truly interested and can truly post 5/day you should get your submission in asap..


How do you feel about a swashbuckler. The APG-class. I can have the barebones done asap. Barebones done. Missing backstory.
And. Did I read that correct, I should add the first mythic tier?


Might be keen to submit a Spirit Master Monk as a character option, which should have the stats to handle itself on the front line as required, and Mythic lends itself quite nicely to Monks. I'll get a crunch + backstory up with 24 hours.

@GM Pox, When's the group's usually active? I'm often on for 8-9 hours a day starting around now-ish and then sporadically afterwards until I crash. If I'm on a misaligned schedule, I don't want to throw things off.

That said, I should have an alias with stats and a backstory up sometime soon.


I operate in central time, but a few of my players are in other areas.. If you start during this time normally you'll be fine..

As stated before I care not what class you submit as long it has the ability to be the frontline tanker.. High AC, High Hps, or both..

And yes you should add 1st tier mythic to the character.. His/Her ascension should be talked about in a backstory..

Dark Archive

This is what I'm looking at for cruch, currently.

I'm going to come up with a backstory and see how that flavors his ascension / path. I could see either Champion or Guardian fitting and working within parameters.


Are you any particular Druid Archetype? It appears your going Crocodile Domain? Just curious but what will your stats look like wildshaped?

Dark Archive

I don't think I'll be taking an archetype. Looking through them, they mostly appear to be good at making casting druids more cast-y.

Defense:

AC 15, touch 13, flat-footed 13 (+2 Dex, +2 Natural Armor, +1 Deflection)
hp 35(4d8+12)
Fort +7, Ref +3, Will +6
Special:+4 Racial vs spells, SLA & Poison, +1 Trait vs. effects from Undead Su abilities, +1 Trait from Divine

Offense:

Speed 20 ft., Swim 30 ft.
Melee: Bite + 8 (1d4+4)

Statistics:

Str 20, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 8
Base Atk +3; CMB +8 (+13 to Grapple); CMD 21 (26 vs. Grapple)

Sorry, I think this is a bit slap-dash. Hopefully it reads alright.

The Lost Sphinx:
Rawdet Sun’s family had lived in shame for centuries. In ages long since past their progenitor lost his way and his actions led to the loss of the guardian and counselor of their clan, a gynosphinx of remarkable power. She was captured and added to the collection of a wizard that fancied himself a zookeeper.

Generation after generation sought to restore their family’s honor and dignity by finding and freeing their lost mentor. Leads were followed and lost. Each member of the family spent a handful of decades searching for their honor until at last they had to return to other duties. Almost all hope had been lost, until Rawdet Sun, while exploring a stretch of Taldor, found word of a dungeon. He joined with an adventuring band and ventured within. Lo and behold, near the deepest reaches of the keep he discovered his quarry.

She was bound to the wall with adamant chains and it took all the skill the party’s trap springer had to release her, but the deed was done. After conversing with her at length, Rawdet Sun insisted they return to the surface and that he be released from these duties to see to those far older than he.

Their trek back to Osirion was long and arduous, and many hazards presented themselves to Rawdet Sun and his charge, but he eventually delivered her to his ancestral home unharmed. As a gift for his service she bade him to remove the collar around her neck. The gold choker appeared to have no clasp and he wondered at how to do so, but when his fingers brushed the piece it simply released. Changing in his hands to a pectoral bearing the symbol of Sobek.

The Guardian charged him to go, as he was needed elsewhere and his abilities would be put to the test. She wished him luck and knew that he would find at least some in the portion of herself that she'd gifted to him.


twilsemail; May I recommend the Menhir Savant archetype. It could be good in this particular campaign, and bringing in Barkskin bonus bumps a level early would probably be handy...


I was thinking a Bear Shaman with Defense Domain.. Could be sporting a mid 20 AC and have a bite/claw/claw attack.. At 6th level he could wildshape into a dire bear.. He could also go Lion Shaman with Heroism Domain and be solid as well..

Abdul your build looks pretty good as well.. Negative wisdom mods scare me however lol.. Haven't seen many light armor, dex based tanks before.. I suppose your AC could still become quite high though..

Dark Archive

I'll withdraw the Druid's application.

It sounds like Rawdet Sun isn't what the Party is looking for. I'll work on a Clank-Tank and see what I come up with. I've had a thought to play a Stonelord for a while. If you don't have someone else picked out by the time I stat one out, we'll see how he looks.


I just got into a new game, so I will be bowing out of applying to this one. Best of luck to the other applicants.


I have found a replacement for this campaign so ill be closing the recruitment.. Thanks for all the intrest and good luck..
