Out of character (OOC)

Hi Sorin.

If it helps I am going Witch/Rouge to become an Arcane Trickster.
With a focus on Witch side (love them Hex) and item creation (Cauldron at first).

So if your interested we could team up on item creation side of things.
That would make Eldritch Scoundrel or even a pure Rouge/wizard work.
If GM is allowing for down time to make items?

 You might notice the roster is large. I'm not out to kill players, but I expect to lose players and characters as we go on and the nature of this game allows me to always look for more players.

Out of character (OOC)

Hi Hil Diduem  Do you want to join the magic item making club?



As for game numbers - I posted the below in another game July last year.

First1/6 Do not make it out of the character creation process.
Second1/6-Disappear half way though the first combat.
Third1/6 Plays the game for solid 1 to 2 years.  Then has to leave because RL.
Fourth1/6-Plays the game for solid 2-3 years.  Then has to leave because RL.
Fifth1/6 Plays for good 4+ and usually outlast GM.
Last1/6-The real needy player that out last the GM and when GM comes back to the game after 2 year away and post the game is going to be delete.
   This player answers the GM the same day GM posted and asks if the game can be restart instead!

I not going say which I am but let say I have been playing on this site since Tue 9 Aug 2005.

I also been in parties with just 3 players and worked as well.  So no reason to give up.

Glitterdale Dust-star:
Hi Gamesmaster.  Thanks for that.  Glitterdale was looking at a really bad con.

Oh and Marica you wouldn't happen to be a elven bow focused elf would you?


Sorry. Just a human.

Thanks for the advice. Frankly, level 4 looking pretty far away. I'll be lucky if Marcia makes it to level 2. Might need a more..immediate trait?

Not sure how Kholt got from grief filled --> no remorse..but, eh..I'm using a website with organized traits.

You are no stranger to loss and intense emotions.

Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on all saving throws against emotion spells and effects.

Hence being 'evil' no remorse but alas I could be wrong! Trying to help.

So that's how I was born! :)

I'm probably going to go Gunslinger-no archtype. Being able to us all guns is cool. But the Musket Master and Pistelo are pretty cool.

I'd say go witch or rogue but I like straight classes.

Seems like we got a Summoner (Naeva?), cleric, witch/rogue type, and a ranger.

...In my 8 years or so I've only had 2 games last over 1 year with regular posts.

I can also make lists of terrible experiences.

-Pathfinder players on RPOL are 7/8 times minmaxers who copy guides.
-Combat is dominated by the minmaxers (durrrr) and becomes unenjoyable to all.
-Above minmaxers quickly realize their piece of empty cardboard they copied really isn't what they want to play, so they leave, since combat was the only thing they came for in the first place.
-No one remembers the guys who only made 2-line posts until combat came along, to suddenly post ten times what they did in OOC compared to what they did IC to showcase their system mastery (copied from the aforementioned guides).


..ok so maybe I'm focused on one particular pet peeve of mine. Bite me.

Gamemaster:

Just don't invite 40 players (literally), then have them all make level 10 characters with mythic rules and then keep everyone waiting for 2 months to start the game before unceremoniously ghosting the game like a certain game I had the misfortune of getting roped into earlier this year.

My burning hatred yet seethes...

Tiefling Slayer here. Looking forward to gaming with ya all.

I always enjoy character creation in our GM's games. There is always a twist to it. This time the dice roller was not kind to me (rolled to many 1's) but I'm still above the 70 min so time to get busy on my sheet.

Re: Out of character (OOC)

I know your pain. In the end I landed on the 70 minimum exactly. But that's fine. It just means I have to throw the rest of you in between myself and danger. ^^

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Howdy!

I'm open to any race/class suggestions from you more experienced players.

All I pitched was the character: Mike has a sentient sword that wants to consume all souls and bring about nothingness. It's Blackrazor if you're familiar with dnd lore. But Mike is smart enough to pretend like he's in charge and is a serial killer, not that he is the sword's thrall.

So the warden is offering Blackrazor as a reward for good behavior.

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Antipaladin might be up your alley. Does a lot of negative energy magic which comes quite close to soul-sucking whilst being a full base attack bonus for excellent sword-swinging and isn't too complex, whilst being super tough. If you're a bit more system-wise, the inquisitor or bloodrager may work quite well for you. The inquisitor gets a lot of skills which is nice, but has more buttons to press in the form of spells, feats and judgements. The bloodrager is a barbarian with magic in his blood.

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Great. Then for race human is always good. Alternatively you might want to pick something that swaps the negative/positive energy interaction, so you get healed by negative energy while being harmed by positive energy, like the Dhampir. Works well if you want to dive into the manipulation of the undead. But you can also do that with a feat like Necromantic Affinity, so don't feel like you absolutely have to pick the race.

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Wow, I see I've missed a good bit while I was at work.

Antipaladin is most excellent, but there's also a bladebound magus which I think might also be up such a concept's alley. Food for thought.

For myself, seeing all the non-fighty caster types being talked about, I'm beginning to edge towards magus more than rogue. I'll have a good amount of skill points to allocate anyway, what with the intelligence reliance and the human bonus points.

In reply to Glitterdale Dust-star (msg # 8):
Editing because I forgot to reply to this, I'd be happy to team up on any item creation.

Yes I finished my dhampir antipaladin so long as dm is cool with the sheet.

Nice to meet you all by the way. I swear I don’t play a Paladin like an asshat. That being said I will go ahead and assume the role of team leader. ;)

Okay so this is a lil' intimidating :D Seeing how Urik is Demon-Spawn and I've decided to make him look like a Demon Cat. Good thing I don't have horns lmao.

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Nothing like job security.

Anyway, when I get the will to, I will get the game started with the first group of active players. (I occasionally get bouts of... I don't don't know if it's depression, but during those times I don't want to do anything)

Re: Out of character (OOC)

Yeah, I feel you. That was me all of yesterday.  :(

I wrote a description for Marcia.  I know some GM's find that kind of thing nice, so I hope it's encouraging.

Although I think this character could be summarized as Marcia: She's seen some sh*t.

:D
