Re: Character Discussion/Creation

If you have Netflix check out "Howl's Moving Castle" and see if that is close to how you see this setting being like.  It doesn't focus much on Monsters persay but it's got a steampunk feel crossed with wizards and magic.  The technology level is like the early 20th century.

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

I've submitted my Magical/Psionic purchase list.  Just waiting on approval of that list (and a response to another minor private message question).  Once those things are added to my sheet, I believe Kraken is done and ready to play.

How close are others?

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

I have finished Lax and his thrall...
I have 15 level 1 and a level 2 believers.

Lax and the thrall can share a room (in fact, it would be best, as they need each other). The believers can be a Psychic Warrior 2, 2 Egoists 1, 2 Telepaths 1, 2 Shapers 1, 2 Kineticist1 , 2 Seers 1 , 2 Nomads 1, 1 Soulknife 1, 2 Erudites.

My idea is that they will go underground in The Greens. A suitable lair for Lax in the future.

Re: HP
Since we're doing gestalt, lets just do max HP at each level. If the PCs are going to be superpowered, let's make sure they can take some punishment.

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

I'm glad everyone's characters are coming to completion. I'm looking forward to starting the game.

Also, I don't need to vet your characters. I'll give them a once over, if you ask for it, but I'm sure you'll work within the rules of the game. This is, after all, a game and we're doing it to have fun. If it comes out that someone is fudging some numbers or some rules or whatever, and it makes the game less fun for the rest, that player will be asked to leave. This is an old game system; we are all familiar with the rules to one degree or another. Let's make sure and have fun and tell a cool story!

Another point: As the GM, I will not be beholden to character creation rules. I'll be pulling from Monster Manuals, as well as throwing numbers together to create interesting creature challenges. Especially with such powerful characters, I do not have time or energy to spend two hours creating a Badass 3/Ass Beater 1/Dumbass 2 who winds up lasting a single encounter. My goal is to make it fun and, to a degree, challenging. So, you won't need to be analyzing what class/template/PrC combo your opponents have; they likely won't be that organized.

I think that's all I needed to state, at the moment. These things might seem self-explanatory to some or all of you, but I think it's better to declare it up front and be clear, than to try and deal with misunderstandings and hurt feelings, later.

*Whew*!

Sounds Good!

My sheets are ready.

Thanks Kraken for going over them and catching me on a few errors.

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

The Vicious Shadow:
I've been thinking about that and I think Magic Item Compendium and the Spell Compendium should be part of the core rule.

And let's keep gestalt for the PCs.

Yesterday and today were/are busy, for me, but I hope to have time to check in tonight and answer PMs. If not, I'll look into them all this weekend.


I finally found my Compendiums! You never really fully unpack from buying your first house. X.X

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

No worries about the no gestalt for the Cohorts/thralls/etc., but I won't be having one...simply because if I were to have one, I'd want it to be something non-humanoidal and thus would possess LA that would make it fairly ineffective in game (just my opinion, others may disagree)

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

Yeah, let's be a new team. That way we'll get to play around with getting to know each other, as well as figuring out how you fit into the organization.

I've had an insanely busy couple days, but I'm off work for the rest of the week. I'll drop in and check on everything tomorrow.

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

It seems to me that we are all ready to go!

Lax-at-hive, if you could add your character sheet to the character sheet section, that would be great. It should be editable by you. I'll make a sheet for your thrall, under your control, as well.

I think I'll go ahead and get the game started at some point today!

Re: Character Discussion/Creation

I'm going to be late for the party folks.

Just got a call out to assist in the search for a missing 10 year old boy (I'm a member of a ground search and rescue team).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada...ar-old-boy-1.6226617

Could be out until some time tomorrow morning...then will likely come home and get some sleep...so will finish up the few minor things left on my character sheet and post in game tomorrow afternoon/evening at some point.

Does either Lax-at-Hive or Mortanis have a decent Diplomacy check.

I put points into Diplomacy but think they would be better served in Profession: Forensic Pathologist

They are experts in disease and injury that result in sudden death. Their role is to investigate the death itself so, in a way, they are the voice of the deceased. Forensic pathologists: perform autopsies when required.  They determine the cause of death and all other factors that relate to the body directly.

So Maybe the GM should change your name to Ludovic as everyone else is using their character name and not their RPoL profile name.
