As for the rest of you...this was a tough decision, I really liked every submission but I wanted to keep this to a 4 player game.
BUT. I am willing to extend an olive branch based on your work on these interesting concepts.
Clever Godling -
Mordred of Fairy - Human - (Ran of Many Faces).Adept Godling -
Anon A Mouse - Human (Granite Ward).Eldritch Godling -
William Nightmoon - Kitsune (Medis Redflame) - Submission complete.I have recruited one (or two depending on what you pick) other players to play in another campaign but I can't decide which one so I'll let you all decide:
Age of Worms,
Shackled City,
Savage Tide,
Shattered Star, or
Iron Gods.
Reposting... stupid top of the page...

The players that will be taking part in the Strange Aeons game are:
Mighty Godling
Clever Godling
Adept Godling
Eldritch Godling
Please report to this thread that I may properly outfit you in your straight jackets...
Yet another repost.

Best of luck to you guys("A Kobold, a Grippli, and a Goblin walk in on a Dwarf..." - sounds like the beginning of a fun story ;) ).
@Regarding your suggestion of re-using things: I like to take advantage of the unique nature offered by AP's to explore character concepts tailored to them, or impossible to pull off otherwise.
e.g. if I remember correctly, Iron Gods would allow an Android Gunslinger to feel right at home. Not a concept workable in many other AP's without stretching things.
Ran was intended to play up on the Amnesia, trying to make that an essential part of the character with his fractured self-image and web of lies...(e.g. someone hurt? "Don't worry, I'm a trained doctor!" - rolls 1 on untrained healing check - "There was nothing anybody could have done to save him!" - Roll 20 on bluff)
While it would be very interesting to explore his concept idea in a game, he was mostly created for Strange Aeons, and would work just as well in the form of a straight Unchained Rogue with a 1-Level Dip in Oracle(+extra Revelation) - losing out on quite a bit of fancyness, but ces't la vie - if that's what it takes to validate him for another recruitment.
What I am saying: I had hoped to get into Strange Aeons, but I'll gladly play in one of the others, too. But if so, I would like a chance to do a tailored concept based on whichever AP ends up choosen.
That said, I already play in an Age-of-Worms game, and try to limit myself to 1 game per AP, the other 4 are fine by me.

Oh, I completely missed there were other game options. I think what happened was that I posted right after the first post and since my post ended up on the next page, I never saw the second one.
I am tentatively interested in one of the other games, but I know next to nothing about most of them, so let me do some googling and get back to you in a bit.

Sure you don't have to use that submission I just figured since that one was already almost done it would be easier for you to just use it elsewhere.

If you don't get a lot of response, I potentially have a group from Iron Gods that lost its GM a few months ago. I've been holding out hope he'd show up as he's also a player in another game of mine, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I imagine that not everyone is going to want to continue at this point, so any stragglers could potentially join us where we left off. I understand if you aren't interested, but I figured I'd throw it out there. Mark MIGHT show up after the holidays (maybe), but it's beginning to look pretty grim.
Storyteller Shadow |
Shattered Staris the game. I'll run it Godling though Godlings will not be required.
Anon A Mouse.
William Nightmoon.
Mordred of Fairy.
You are all in. I have already recruited 2 other people (I think).
Kindo and the AlicornSage make 7. Congrats good timing you are in.
I'll give everyone 10 days to make characters or you can use the ones submitted to Strange Aeons.
This game will start the first or second weekend of January.

If Shattered Star is a no go let's see what happens in the New Year JD.

Hey Shadow, would you ever consider running a Kingmaker game that started mid-level, but at the beginning?
I just read about the Hinterlander PrC from Paths of the Righteous and I feel it would be awesome for a KM game, but I would rather start with a level or two in it(or come close to entering it), as many pbp take forever to reach the appropriate levels for PrCs, especially APs.

Not sure that particular AP seems complex in its own right. Maybe once some of my other APS wind down.

I'll read up on Shattered Star before making a decision on wether to alter my Strange Aeon Submission or go with something new.
Thanks.
(You already know i'll take my sweet time before presenting the finalized character...but that won't make a difference here because it's a pre-set group anyway)
Basically, just posting to confirm my participation.

Granite Ward |
Ok, question for my future party-mates: would anybody benefit from Enlarge Person or Mage Armor? Since I plan for Granite's magic to be buff focused, it'd be good to know what kind of buffs would actually be useful.
For build, I'm pretty much going to be sticking with what I have for Granite (Adept godling), just need to make a few changes to match Shattered Star instead of Strange Aeons.
MordredofFairy |
@Granite: For what it's worth - I may benefit from Enlarge Person. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I am pretty much certain I will be human for the Favored Class Bonus, if I go Godling. And with how often one gets to play a Godling, chances are pretty good I'll simply adapt Ran to the new environment.
Wearing Armor myself, Mage Armor would not be relevant.
Storyteller Shadow |
Reason im asking is because i have an gestalt idea for a gunslinger/rogue goblin. Aaaand. It would be easier to keep track since i can actually use herolab :P
But my anubian scion is still up to the task if you think it wont work =^^=
Let me take a look at the adventure and get back to you on that one, don't want a Goblin to have issues just based on what he is!
MordredofFairy |
Soooo...about that Godling/Unchained Rogue Gestalt... ^_^
*ducks*
(actually just checked back to see if we do have gold to spend this time around - and we do, plenty.)
A more serious question: Is retraining allowed?
I specifically ask because I would like to pick up a Feat at Level 11 that requires a BaB of 11, rather than wait until Level 13 for the next Feat.
Unlimited potential would let me do so, but be pointless otherwise.
What would be your preferred handling in this situation?
Can I delay the Feat-Pick to Level 12? Could I retrain Unlimited Potential? Should I simply accept that I will need to wait for Level 13 to pick it up?
(Specifically, it is about Spring-Heeled Reaping...which is a core concept of the character progression. Therefore, I would like to get the most mileage out of it that I can...with regular AP's ending at ~Level 16-17, getting it at Level 13 would seriously limit the effective time I get to use it). As such, I would rather sacrifice Scion of the North Wind to pick up Unlimited potential, but it does feel like a waste.)
Storyteller Shadow |
Alright then, everyone take a free first level feat... thank Mordred everyone!
FYI, you should ALL include in your background (brief or as long as you like them) that you are new members of the Pathfinder Society.
I don't think a Goblin would fit, sorry Seth. If you want to use that Gestalt idea with a more common race that would be fine.
Storyteller Shadow |
Example Eldritch Godlings
Great saves. Great Specials.
I suppose Gestalt base classes would even that out...
Anon A Mouse |
Errr, don't Eldritch Godlings have all bad saves? My understanding is that the main broken thing about them is that spellcasters pick their spellcasting ability, so apparently a common thing to do is to go for Str or Con and then you can polymorph to bump up your DCs to crazy levels. You also don't have to worry about concentration or armor check failures plus you can pick your spell list. You can also get a bunch of features from individual other classes like oracle mysteries or witch hexes.
