GM Choon's (Gestalt) War of Dragonfires


Recruitment

101 to 150 of 192 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | next > last >>

I have a guess at how it might be handled but I am not gonna saying anything in case I am right lol.


5d10, min 5: 5d10 ⇒ (5, 8, 5, 8, 4) = 30
Height: 56 + 2d10 ⇒ 56 + (6, 10) = 72
Weight (x5): 110 + 30 + 50 = 190
Age: 10 + 2d6 ⇒ 10 + (3, 6) = 19


You could always PM me. No promises. ;)


I've always wanted to play as a guy who can choke people out with his mustache.

Background:
It was a normal day at the Calfon recruitment centers. Recruits filled half the room as the shuffled from table to table completing the paperwork necessary to join the army. All that activity ceased when the front doors were thrown open with a resounding crash.

A shadowy figure strode into the room. As the glare from the sunlight receded it revealed a man standing well over six feet tall. The light glinted off of his shaved head and seemed to linger for a moment on his bushy mustache. Behind him a peacock waddled into the room almost unnoticed.

Ignoring the lines, the man strode to the front of the room. Bringing his arms in front of him, he struck a most muscular pose. His shirt exploded off of him as he flexed, his mustache quivering with the effort. Behind him, the peacock spread its tailfeathers, providing a backdrop for the display.

He held the pose for the next hour without saying anything to the recruiters. The only thing they could think to do with him was to put him in the special tactics division.

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Looks good.


I'm gonna just be surprised Choon lol.

What is the code to set a minimum on a dice roll?


You can do half die+ other half. So, if you had a d10, 6d5+30, or 1d5+5 per level.


Didn't even think about that.

hp: 6d6 + 36 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 6, 6, 3) + 36 = 551d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7


White Unggoy's sub here. Everything you need should be in my alias. If it all checks out, lemme know and I'll set up the quick bar and hop into gameplay. :-)

Fluff:
You know I've always been crazy for that succulent, boiling rage. There's nothing like it in the world. Well, this 'war hero' gig has turned out lucrative and delicious. Calfite's enemies are never more infuriated than when I hobble towards them with a faked limp, fire a few poorly aimed crossbow bolts... and then cause the very earth to betray them. Some serf that can control the elements, could you imagine? Before you know it, I'm positively swimming in their anger, soaking it up as I tear my enemies asunder. And they pay me for this!
-The Craving, in a letter to a fellow yaksha Bealxor

Wearing little more than rags when in human guises, the Craving does his best to look destitute. He often plays up an affliction, such as a bad cough or a weak leg, such that he remains underestimated, combining this with his non-detection ability. When nearing the end of a battle, or if the fight is closer than he'd like, he'll switch to his imposing ape-like form, which draws most of its features from the silverback gorilla.


Ah, I forgot to ask one vital information :P

What is the religion of our enemies? the main religion if there is more than one since that is relevant to my character (as he is in the order of Heresy Inquisition)

Ps. all pray ..... (whatever religion Calfon happen to have lol)


Another random question; advanced firearms yey or nay?


Nay.


Technological firearms then :P? (can't afford them anyway ... )


For my backup character:
3d10, min 5: 3d10 ⇒ (4, 8, 2) = 14 = 18
4d8, min 4: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 4) = 14 = 17


If you have PC's ready and you want in a fight, now is the time.

That is if the GM says ok hehe


Indeed. Last call for builds until the next fight.


Ooookaaay.
Here is the basics for Cams Aegis/Psion who dipped his fingers in the mutagen goo a little too much :) [/ooc](I went with my second concept)[/ooc]
Not quite complete but I will see if I can get him done within the hour.


All right!

Lessah here and I got a build ready and all that. However, I did just take the time to look around and realized that this one is quite similar to another already done.

Hopefully that won't be too much of an issue - otherwise I could simply sit out the first fight and whip together something different for the next one and keep this one in the backpocket until the other one - *hrm* - I would say live up to his name, but that wouldn't quite work :P

Also! Dice rolling!

HP!: 1d6 + 5d10 ⇒ (6) + (7, 5, 6, 6, 9) = 39


GM Choon yours was my first try with online games here with my halfling rogue and the game went inactive . Is this a pick up of it? If so let me get something together!


Yes, the first iteration of this did go inactive. Such things can only last so long. But her we are, round two! You'll probably get in on fight 2 as fight 1 starts in just a few hours.


come on my brave lads lets see what them PCs are made of.


OK, I can't get this pyrokineticist whip guy to work. Gonna try something else.


Well The Friar is almost finished minus most of his equipment and a short blurb of his backstory. Inam also unlikely to get the rest done tonight (cuz parents came over). So hopefully ill be ready for the next round.

The Friar is an exceedingly fat halfling who has been thoroughly dunked in the mutagen jar. Basically he is a Halfling Aberrant Aegis who will always have the Obese and Powerful Build customizations, but the other ones will be interchangeable. Mix in Psion and Metamorphosis and I have no idea [i ]how [/i] strong he is, but he will probably be durable and versatile :)

The Friar (no one really remembers his name, the just remember that he is fat) was a priest for one of Calfron's many churches. One day he had accidentally caused one of their larger cathedrals to burn down (allegedly he was sleeping on the job when it happened). Somewhere between conviction and execution he disappeared into one of the City-States laboratories.
Turns out fat holds in the mutagen goo really well :p

A few years later and they give him an ultimatum, fight for the city-state as an augmented soldier and gain a tiny bit of freedom and fresh air or rot in the lab.


So is everybody who submitted so far in?


Yes. Acceptance for this one is very loose. Just comply with the rules and you get in, basically.

The number of PCs will have an effect in the durability of the boss and what reinforcements he gets, if any, just so everyone knows. And, naturally, the Fate roll will throw a kink in everything every once in a while. :)


Okay if you can Choon, take a look and see if you need me to add anything else. I still need to put in the maneuvers and stances on my sheet but that won't take too long for me.


Gm said if you have a PC ready head over to Discussion.
My be good to get talking and introduce ya PC,

No idea how long this fight will take, so could be a good place to chat and get ready guys.


Cool, just grabbing my maneuvers and such, should be done fairly soon.


Depends on how youall roll when you finally engage. ;)


My PC is done, I'm just trying to put it into the alias, which is quite a work :P It will take me a pair of days at most, so I guess I'll be up for next challenge.


GM are you allowing pregame crafting?


No. Your gear, in the Lore in my head, is supplied to you up to a certain allowance.


Oh crap no pregame crafting?

I guess I gotta change up my character then lol.


Hrm, I don't know why I didn't realize guns where allowed, might have to try something else first. What is the level for guns in this campaign?


hp: 3d5 + 15 ⇒ (4, 5, 2) + 15 = 263d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 18 = 31


Emerging. In competition with magic.


I'm really intrigued with this campaign. Will have to whip something up. Not sure if I'm gonna go with a monster race or not just yet, but will probably use one of DSP's psionic classes.

If I go with a giant race, supposing I can find one that's CR6 or lower, would you allow the half-giant racial aegis archetype to work with them?


Yes, that's fine. You share the (giant) in your race line.


Had another thought. Would you allow an awakened animal character if we pay for the spell out of our WBL? Always wanted to play one of those. If not, I think I might play a firbolg (a CR4 giant in Bestiary 5).

That opens a whole can of worms I'd rather not open.


I understand that. Think I'm gonna go with either firbolg or wood giant. Not sure if I want to go melee or ranged just yet.

Also, how are you handling the feats listed under monster races? Are they considered bonus feats or are they the feats for leveling up and we just can't change them?

HP 1: 9d4 + 36 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 4, 3, 1) + 36 = 55
HP 2: 6d5 + 30 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 5) + 30 = 46


@DekoTheBarbarian

You should take a look at the race I am using, it's basically a non-psionic half giant that hates fey and magic users from dreamscarred press.

This is how I have mine setup but it has different options.

Dreige from Bloodforge:

DREIGE RACIAL TRAITS

• +2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, -2 Dexterity: Dreigi are strong and wise, but their large size makes them clumsy.

• Medium: Dreigi are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties for size.

• Humanoid (giant): Dreigi are humanoids with the giant subtype.

• Darkvision (Ex): Dreigi can see in the dark out to 60 feet.

• Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of dreigi lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a dreige is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the dreige is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A dreige is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A dreige can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

• Ancient Grudge (Su): Dreigi labor under a mighty oath of revenge against those who destroyed their culture and scattered them to the winds; they benefit from a +2 bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws made against fey and outsiders with the chaotic and/or evil subtypes. This bonus increases by +1 every 4 character levels.

• Reject Fey Guile (Ex): Dreigi gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws vs. compulsion effects.

• Sunder Magewalls (Ex): Dreigi ignore hardness when attacking magical barriers (such as that created by wall of force) and deal addition

• Gianthide (Ex): A dreige’s thick skin increases its natural armor bonus by +1.

• Languages: Dreigi begin play speaking Common and Giant. Dreigi with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnome, Halfling, or Sylvan.

• Spurn Enslavement (Su): Some dreigi have an innate ability to punish those who would try to enslave them with sorcery. Whenever a dreige succeeds a saving throw against a mind-affecting spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability, the source of that spell or ability must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dreige’s character level + the dreige’s Wisdom modifier) or suffer damage equal to the dreige’s character level, as well as a -2 penalty to their caster level for a number of rounds equal to the dreige’s Wisdom modifier. This replaces the child of iron racial trait.

Favored Class option

• Stalker: Add 1/6 of a new stalker art.


Something else you could consider as well.

Just so everyone knows, this whole monster as one half of you gestalt thing is beginning to hurt my head. I honestly didn't know such things as Mi-go and Seige Owlbears existed at CR6. I also didn't know that there were 8+HD monsters at 6. "What does one HD matter in this kind of game where people are expecting to get roflstomped?", I thought. "It's not like they'll go nuts on me and bring their cheese graders...", I thought...

So, ya, I'm seeing the error of my ways. You'd think we'd see less monsters when I opened up the entire Multiclass Archetypes list for experimentation, but, as usual, the PC's went exactly where I didn't expect them to go.
To be clear, I'm not angry or anything. Youall followed the rules and now I live with the builds. That 's fine. That's what happens. I am now closing the door on monster PC's though. If you've already built one that's fine, just steer in the direction of class builds, if you could. There are literally hundreds out there to choose from.


Was wondering when that would happen lol. Since I didn't submit my character yet, I'm just gonna redo it. Got a class from Legendary Games called Deadeye Hexer I want to try out that is a hybrid of gunslinger and witch. Not sure what the other half will be just yet.


I'm big enoug a GM to admit when things go over my head. If I had more time in the day to carefully regulate things and micromanage then it might work out better, but I have work and a family and ain't got time for that.


That is the problem--it's possible to play with monster builds, but it requires a ton of GM attention to really pull off well.

...So I guess this means I really need to try to keep Sharptalon alive because I won't get a second chance to play a griffon. :D


If there's no monsters, does that mean we can use templates?


No, sorry. I've seen what can happen with templates. It was a bad experience.


The answer is probably a resounding "NO", but are you gonna use the mythic rules?
