Yep, we're definitely going Soulknife. I seldom get the chance to play psionic characters so...:-)

A horse, for the time being (unless GM permits something more exotic)


I am aiming for the Mammoth Rider prestige class, which should be fun.


I am admittedly, struggling to figure out what feats I want to take.

Not gonna lie, that sounds amazing.

I have a little something I wanted to add to the world, but I wanted people's opinions first:

Small gods.  While we'd have the regular pantheon doing their usual thing, I would also use very small gods too.  A sacred tree on a hill that watched over the health of a small village's fields, the gods of rats for the sewers of the capital city, the spirit of a single spring - none of them demand or require much in the way of worship, but they can give small boons (or plagues) to those whom they favor (or who anger them).

I mostly used the small gods for campaign flavor and the occasional complication - it was an interesting way to reward the players for being clever with a small god, or to vex them in small ways if they decided to kick the rat god into a drain.

Does that sound like something you guys would be interested in having as an element, or would you rather skip that?

That actually sounds very interesting...:-)

Sounds very Exalted-esque. I like it. It fits well with my character concept too.

I have posted in The Story about the small gods of Pearl Fort for your perusal!

Davor and Flisk have probably been talking. Do these gods manifest physically? Do they have shrines other than the locations/objects they are associated with?

Since small gods are often a single object, their shrines tend to be very, very small, perhaps no more than a small carving (to indicate a small god is near) and some offerings to indicate their presence.  Small gods are usually quite physical.  Flisk is the literal cobblestones of the road at the front gate of Pearl Fort, Mogolob the oyster goddess is a real being you can visit.  Small gods are often offered little prayers or offerings, and often use their offerings in a real way.  Mogolob is offered small bits of food and small stone carvings: the food she eats, the carvings are used to decorate her shell.  Flisk is offered gossip - pausing to share a bit of news on the cobblestones is an offering and prayer to her.

All small gods have indications that they are nearby, though some are more obvious.  A magnificently large oyster or splendidly tall tree, a rat of unusual size and sleekness or a cat with extraordinary eyes and seemingly impossible powers, these small gods have less need for symbols.  For less obvious gods, like Toron (who is a stone in the town hall) or Suplash (the god of the well water), a carved symbol (no larger than the palm of a small hand) might be the only indication that they're there.

Small gods have no priests and rarely grant more than the smallest of spells.  Their favors (or curses) tend to be small and limited in scope.  A curse leveled by a greater goddess like Sarenrae works anywhere in the world and on any subject.  A curse leveled by a small god only works on those who are in close proximity to the small god's sphere of influence.  They are gods, however small, and any curses (or boons) will persist.  Someone who has won the favor of the greater goddess Sarenrae may be blessed in all things she watches over.  Someone who has won the favor of Flisk, the goddess of cobblestones, may never trip on her cobblestones, and rarely will hear nasty gossip about themselves.  Conversely, if you anger her, you may always trips and often hear nasty rumors.

How is everyone else coming along on their characters?

I got a little side tracked yesterday. Still need to pick spells and finish gear.

I’m almost done but currently too busy with RL. I’ll hopefully finish everything tomorrow.

Done...:-)

I'll need until saturday; I have much of the technical stuff added in notepad but need more time to agonize over and choose spells, feats, traits & equipment (i.e. the fun stuff :P )

Once char gen is done and the game begins I'll have no problem meeting the posting rate though.

I expect I will be able to finish tomorrow.

Alright, I think my sheet is done.

Just FYI, I can pretty much do what a rogue does when it comes to traps should the need arise...:-)

Good to know.

I'll be pulling light cleric duty, but I'm mostly a fighty type.

All righty then - Looks like Amber, Aria, and Davor are all finished, and Jerek and Urle still need to finish their sheets.  We can start the story even without character sheets being finished, but can I get an ETA on those who haven't gotten them done yet?


I should have a start on the game thread probably later today.  :)

I'm off till Friday, and the last two things I need to do is picking feats and equipment.

Considering that almost every campaign I've ever done has been as a level 1, picking equipment later on is going to be a little bit tricky for me, just because I'm not used to doing it. Help in that regard would be appreciated. (I can do it on my own I'm sure, but I feel like there's a good chance I'll cock something up)

+1 Weapon (2,300 + Weapon cost)
+1 Armor (1,150 + Armor cost)
+1 Shield (1,150 + Shield)
+2 Stat Booster (4,000)
Ring of Prot. +1 (2,000)
Amulet of Nat. Armor +1 (2,000)
Cloak of Res. +1 (1,000)

~13,600gp (This total does not include armor, shield, and weapon costs. )

Which would leave you ~2,400 gp to buy barding for your horse, secondary weapons, and adventuring gear.

The masterwork cost is included in the enchantment so it would be 2000 for the +1 Weapon and 1000 for the +1 Armor and Shield. Otherwise though those are the 'required' magic items that you're basically expected to have.

No it isn't. I think you are thinking about mithral, adamantite, and other special materials were the MW cost is included.

An example of creating a magic weapon

I stand corrected, I definitely was thinking of special materials. Goes to deduct 150gp from his character sheet.
