Off the top of my head, it would be easier to make the Gun the focus of the character, it would be enchanted to add the spell damage/effect to the weapon damage perhaps... use your Dex for Spell Attacks of that nature... I don't know; that sounds O.P. but maybe something to that effect.

I wasn't even thinking of anything that intricate. Here's what I mean by re-skinning:

The Warlock shoots Eldritch Blast over and over again. I just call it a magic pistol or pistols and have sweet looking guns that "channel", or whatever, the blast and it's effects.

It's all in the writing and description, nothing mechanical changes.
-Action: Eldritch Blast for 1D10 damage.
-Description: Gun Mage spins on a heel and fires his elaborately carved pistol. Arcane runes flare from the silver barrel and the bullet leaves a faint trail of azure light as it curves towards it's target.

etc...

Same goes when he casts Scorching Ray or Fireball if Fiend.

There's no need for horrible gun mechanics up in here=) (I haven't read 5E's yet but no one has one them right yet.)

So I'd play the "Warlock" class, call it something else and forego the whole trite evil, devil-worshipper angle they always give the Warlock and make it into something a whole lot more flavorful and awesome. It doesn't need to be in the IK either. Any setting you want as long as there's a little bit of technology, even if it's magical tech like Eberron and not steampunk.

Sounds good, it would be pretty easy to do it like that, its a great idea. Ok give me few days to get the game together.

Are you going to put out a Request once you're ready? A few players (3 or 4), not first come, first served but chosen by awesome RTJs.

That's right, no more than five. I am planning on inviting a few old friends, if that's not enough, I will ask one or two from the group in the game I'm currently playing.

Do you have an idea for a campaign and setting? Or are you going to run one of their pre-designed ones?

I tend to use a pseudo-Forgotten Realms Type setting, with influences from Eberron and Iron Kingdoms.

The campaign I have in mind is a influenced by the Rise of Tiamat but more along the lines of she has already risen and now you have to deal with the consequences.

I will also start the party off at level 4.

The Black 13th are really good in Warmachine. Cygnar is one of my armies that I play and they go in every list I make. Plus that name is awesome.

I found that on Google as I was researching Gun Mages. I have no experience with Warmachine, I know its a miniatures game set in the Iron Kingdoms, but not much more than that.

It's an awesome game. I play with tournaments with Pat and our brothers. It blows Warhammer away as a game. It's like comparing chess to checkers.

Mike: What's your email address? I want to send you something and don't want to use Facebook.

Oh my god, that was like 3 months ago. Its myky_duh@hotmail.com if its still feasible.

Awesome! Ill get back to you today or tomorrow

Check your email for a message from Troy. I have an important update to it that I learned this weekend.

Damn that message was weeks ago, sorry Troy, haven't seen one. Can you resend, will now be looking out for it?

You're a hard man to get a hold of. Lol But it's all good.
I'll resend tomorrow, when I can use a laptop instead of my phone. I'll entitle the email "Aya likes Troy" to get your attention:) It'll totally be worth all this dancing we've been doing.

Also, are you playing or running any games on here?

Also, check your Junk mail in case my email gets sent there.

The email is sent. LMK when you've seen it. I'm excited=)
I did indeed make the Subject: Aya Likes Troy so look for that.

Mike!!! PM your phone number.

You ask about my life but there isn't much to tell. I was left on the doorstep of a rural church when I was only a newborn. The old kindly cleric who ran the church took me in a raised me until I was ten summers old. He died that year after falling prey to deadly illness that ravaged the country side. A new cleric was assigned to church and although he was also a kind man, he opted to send me to the city where the Church maintained an orphanage.
It was there that I spent most of my life and where I learned the tenets and practices of the church.

I was expected to be a good and obedient child being the offspring of a celestial and I was constantly held to a higher standard of behavior, which also served to isolate me from the other orphans. My only friend was Mykiel, a fierce and vengeful angelic being who often appeared to me to offer advice or reprimand me when I was up to some childish mischief. This led the other children to tease and bully me because they thought I was making up the whole "Guardian Angel" story as they could neither see nor hear Mykiel. So did most of the clergy for that matter and I soon learned to keep those conversations to myself.

The Archbishop knew about Mykiel, I'm not sure how exactly but its entirely possible another celestial told him. He paid attention to my education, if not to me directly and ensured that I ended up in the Martial Arm of the church. That is where I was trained to find and eradicate evil, well fiends mostly as well as the undead. We were also trained to expunge the evil of men and to protect the innocents from harm.

I spent my entire life in the church both spiritually & physically and it is now time to experience the world while protecting it from harm, now that I have completed my training. I am to patrol the land, in search of people that need help and root out supernatural evil wherever I find it. And of course to spread the word of "god" to the masses, bringing more & more souls under his Divine Protection.

Mangy was born in the CS's Lone star Facility. His as a natural birth but he never knew his mother. Instead he was raised by caregivers both human and Psi-hound until the age of two when he began his training and indoctrination into the CS's Psi-Hound Program. There he was trained to hunt and destroy the enemies of the CS in order to protect humanity from the depredations from the Rifts.

On his first mission he tracked a Ley Line Walker to settlement along a ley line. The settlement was filled with men, omen and children and the officer in charge ordered them all to be killed. But Mangy couldn't harm the children he as order to kill and refused to follow the order. The officer ordered him shot. But before the order could be carried out, a Cyber Knight appeared and cut down the entire squad. He spared Mangy hen the children begged for him and Mangy followed him when he left the settlement.

That was three years ago, Mangy now goes by the name Excalibur and followed his friends footsteps to become a cyber knight himself.

Wait...this board is alive!!!

175 xp for me
