They are bird-men. But they look like vultures. I wanted you to have something fast and easy, so the tengu stats are better than none. A druid, soulknife, rogue, or psychic warrior would work.

There are a few different conjectures floating around, but no consensus.

I can post mul stats tomorrow.


Here is my 2ed Alt, Tinta-Tal-Ma, Female Unarmed Fighter. Bodyguard and masseuse to the Nobility. 12 feet tall, slim as like so many halfgaints, Male like massively muscular she comes in at just over 850lb

IMAGE HERE

She is not, smart, or wise, and her Chramisam is undermined by her large massively toned, man-like muscular, and scared body added to her inherent bad language and grumpiness to everyone. If she does not like you she will bluntly tell you. Lady Sol-Eet De-Ron-Xue loves her to bits and always keeps her close.

Lady Sol-Eet De-Ron-Xue
"Ma, I'm hot get me a nice cool drink"

Tinta-Tal-Ma,
"Go *&^( yourself...my lady"

Checkles from the lady.

For all her words and bad manners, Lady Sol-Eet De-Ron-Xue bought Ma as a slave, when she upset the whole market while being sold, by telling them all to go (*^() there *&^%( while sucking *%( and bending over a *%$*^(!!. Sol-Eet busts out laughing and set Ma free on the spot, giving her a job as her masseuse and bodyguard. Ma is truly loyal to Sol-Eet beosue after years of abuse, she showed her real love.

Yes. Bodhizen's DS Conversion is way overpowered.


Ok sounds good, so just checking this, I did a little convention to try and keep some of the flavor, of the settings conventions while I hope staying in the core race rules. A lot of it works well.

Racial Traits Athasian Elf that are with in core:

Unless otherwise noted, Athasian elves possess the same racial traits as standard elves in Pathfinder.

USE CORE: Ability Score Modifiers: Elves are nimble, both in body and mind, but their form is frail. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, and –2 Constitution.

USE CORE: Low-Light Vision: Elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.

USE CORE: Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.

USE CORE: Elf Weapon Familiarity: Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.

USE CORE: Languages:
Elves begin play speaking Common and Elven.

ALT: Athasian Elf Race Traits that are core.

Desert Runner: Some elves thrive in the deepest deserts, forever roaming across burned and parched lands. Elves with this racial trait receive a +4 racial bonus on Constitution checks and Fortitude saves to avoid fatigue, exhaustion, or ill effects from running, forced marches, starvation, thirst, or hot or cold environments.
This racial trait replaces elven magic.

GM BOON: Wild Talent: Elves begin play with a psionic talent, determined by a roll on the Wild Talent table (p. 45).

ADDED separately on top of race traits above, at the cost of feats/Traits and race traits

ALT Elf Alternate Racial Traits that can be taken separately

Silver Tongued: Human Athasian Elfs are often adept at subtle manipulation and putting even sworn foes at ease. Humans Athasian Elfs with this trait gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Bluff checks. In addition, when they use Diplomacy to shift a creature’s attitude, they can shift up to three steps up rather than just two. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Reaplces: Elf Weapon Familiarity:

Silent Hunter: Elves are renowned for their subtlety and skill. Elves with this racial trait reduce the penalty for using Stealth while moving by 5 and can make Stealth checks while running at a –20 penalty (this number includes the penalty reduction from this racial trait). This racial trait replaces elven magic or Athasian Elf Desert Runner race trait.

Traits that can be taken separately
Reactionary
You were bullied often as a child, but never quite developed an offensive response. Instead, you became adept at anticipating sudden attacks and reacting to danger quickly.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on initiative checks.
Replaces Athasian Elf Fleet-Footed: +2 trait bonus on initiative checks.

ALT Feats that can be taken separately
**Run Feat
Replaces Athasian Elf Fleet-Footed: Feat run
**longshanks x2
Replaces Athasian Elf **Fast feat: Elves have a base speed of 40 feet.

And PC updated


Went with full core Half-Giant, and added campaign traits from the setting. Not as strong and big but still cool.


1 Mul Wilder(singer) + 2 Mul Bards

Can I have an imp wizard? As one of the characters? Purely crafting focused. Otherwise I'll wait till I can take leadership :P

No, you cannot. The planes can only be accessed through the Grey, and people have been lost there.


Oh well :P won't know if I don't ask


Seth86 wrote:

Seth,

I do allow people to play the kind of character they want to play. But not in this case. If Athas actually had Gods, then I could allow it. However, Athas doesn't have gods, the clerics worship the elements instead. I can allow you to have a genasi type character if you still wanted to play something from the planes.


No hard feelings. As I said. If I didn't ask I wouldn't know

I'm happy with my primary choice anyway


Would you allow me to use the Enlightened Monk Archetype, it technically doesn't work with UC Monk due to the change with Slow Fall becoming a ki power instead of a static class ability. I would remedy this by "choosing" the Archetype ability as my ki power at 4th level.


Haven't had a lot of time on my hands this week, but the ideas are coming together. Right now, I'm thinking a group of soulknives associates (possibly friends, possibly a noble and his retainers/slaves): the main man, a Human Soulbolt/Gifted Blade who mostly stays in the back, while his tag team of associates mix it up in melee: a half-giant Armored Blade and a Mul(tentaively) Cutthroat.


Hi GM
Can I check the setting cost for metals?
Dark Sun has a range, from 2x normal pathfinder costs to 10x price.
Most Armor and weapons are made of non-metal substances.

The breakdown of my trio of ALTS is three Females,
Lady Sol-Eet De-Ron-Xue ELf Noble Lady, IMAGE HERE
Tinta-Tal-Ma Her Half Gaint bodyguard, IMAGE HERE
Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen Her Halfling Secretary/PA/medic IMAGE HERE

That is true. Are you looking for a steel sword? Like a Cutlass?

Yes. That's fine, can you give me a link to the Enlightened Monk archetype? I just want to check a few things.


Enlightened Monk


Yeah, I think that will work.


Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen test roll play:

Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen look at the two guards men on the door

Both laughing at her size.

Guardsmen 1
"Ooo look at the ittle, biddy halfwing."

The other busts out in more fits.

Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen, stood looking at the pear, hand on her hip, and eyebrow raised.

One stop lighting and asked,
"So whats your business here?"

At last some sense.

"Im the entertainment for the evening. You two going to let me in?"

She said in a "O this again" way.

"REALLY!!"
Said the other,
"You someone dummy"

he busts out laughing again.

"No" She said in cold flat tone.

"I'm a comic, a Stand-up comic, and before you go making any jokes about someone as small as me standing to tell jokes, I have heard them all. So if you two meatheads don't mind Ill be going in."

The laughter stopped, and the now looked menacingly at her.

"Funny A, well how about this for funny, 10 coin each or your not getting in"

She shook her head.
"Really you skim the acts before they get paid, Alright how about this, if I make you two laugh, you let me in for free, if not then I pay double. sound fare?"

They looked at each other and then at her, nodding in agreement, both now with stony faces, ready for her to do her waste.

She started her joke and moved her hands to emphasise things

"A rich man is leaving home in the morning when his night guard asks for a word ...
"Boss, I had this dream your carriage had a problem and everyone on board died in a crash," the guard said.
The rich man, who had travel plans for that day decided to postpone it and to have the carriage checked.
After a thorough investigation, an issue was found that'd certainly be fatal if carriage had taken to the road.
The rich man waited till the next morning to talk with his night guard.
"Thank you. You saved my life. You're also fired."
The guard who was at first happy, then shocked, he did not understand, "but I saved your life!!"
The boss replied, "Yes true, but! you were also asleep at work."

She looked at them and waited.

"Any moment now"
1st one then the other bust out laughing, they laughed and laughed and soon where short of breath. In fact try as they could they could not stop laughing, falling to the floor the held each other trying to stop.
She hoped over them.

"Suckers"
she said walking in. A good discretion when casting a spell like hideous laughter.

she smiled to herself as she went to the green room.

Very good. You still need to select your feats, though.


Sorted


Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen wrote:

Right. Just looked at your character again. I'm wondering if you can swap your riding dog to something more Athasian? Like a kank?

See the Wander's Journal page 124, Expanded and Revised.


Ooo sounds fun I will have a peek


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Went with a Riding Erdlu

Tinta-Tai_Ma test roll play:

Lady Sol-Eet and Ebrill looked on as Tinta entered the cage,
Cage fights were what she loved the most, it had been a dull day running around keeping an eye on her ladyship and being tested by Ebrill now she could let rip.

Across from her was a bruising-looking human male, he looked well-trained and had the mass by the look of him to stand up to some hard hits. Good.
They were both oiled up with the minimum of clothing, bear feet on the cages sandy floor.

"Right, I want a fair fight, no gouging of eyes, hits belt up and knees down. Nothing between. 1st one to slap the ground three times loses. RIght wait for the gong."

Then he called out to the throng around them.

"Beings of all kinds, tonight as our headline fight we have, on my right, HIRRI_THE HIT_MAN MILLOR!!!"

The Human throws his arms up and turns around showing off his muscled body, glinting in the torch light.

"And on my left, you know her, THE BIG THE BAD, TINTA_TAI-MAAaaaaa"

Tinta hid her party truck and jumped up, a leg shooting out in an evil-looking kick. Comming back grown to land with a ground shaking thud.

"Place your bets Beings! its FIGHT TIME"

With the the gong went and it started. There where a lot of thows, punning body hits and body slams, it was a great show. when round 7 came, the human got Tinta in a headlock and did his signature move, picking her up, and slamming her into the ground, she lay there and with three slaps from her hand, it ended. She got up groggily and over to her corner while the human was hailed the winner. Ebrill came over and took out her medic kit.

Ebrill
"Really!! you could have made more of a show you dumb giant, why do you insist on flighting males!!."

She waved Ebrill away,

"Because it's boring otherwise short A&^. Come on get me to the changing room and you can work on me there"

The giant and the halfling went off, and soon she was packed up.
The door to the room opened and Millor came in.

"Hay, Tinta, did you really! have to hit me that hard in round 3, you just about broke my arm."

He said throwing her, her cut of the prize money.

"You were slow coming from that roll, what have I told you about that, get the timing right or you get hit."

He nodded then with a grin said.
" Me and the wife are doing hot-pot tonight you want to come over?"

Tinta shock her head,

"Narr, I know your wife cooking, and I don't want to spend tomorrow on the *&^(er. And besides that dumb-ass lady-boss of mine wants to spend our winning at the hot baths. I'm taking this short A*& here with me, room for more"

Millor smiled and winked at her and said
"Not my type but thanks anyway:
before leaving as Ebrill punched Tinta in the arm.

"Your the Dumb A%^&!"
Tinta said as they finished up. They left and met up with the poss lady, before heading to the baths.


Tinta-Tal-Ma wild talent 3d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 2) = 14=Fortify, Lesser
Doctor Ebrill Dwynwen wild talent 3d8 ⇒ (3, 1, 7) = 11=Energy Splash


Awesome!


I'm going to step back from this one. I just don't think I've got the time right now to learn as much as I need to about the Dark Sun setting and build three characters.

That's sad. I hope you find a game you'll love, though!


Didn't realize I was holding things up team.
Working on the Elan right now ...

Yes, stalled for a short time. But it's not bad, I'm being patient on the last submission by Evindyl.

I am the stall, my apologies. Struggling with some of the psionics choices, sorry JP :( It's not as graceful as Traveller ;)

I don't think the psionics system was meant to be like Traveler's.
