Pathfinder 1E Advice for way of the wicked?

[gdmcbride]

Well I think I will come back after each session. Or if you have some where you want me to send them for testing reference or anything just let me know. Our next session is monday and they will fianlly be meeting the mysterious benefactor

Cool. Here is as good as anywhere. I read ENWorld daily.

So just curios. Wht char class do you think fits this campaign the best? lerics? Anitpalidins? Vicous fighters? Just wandering what your personal preference would be.

 

[gdmcbride]

Any of the standard classes will work (well...except for Paladin). But the best?

Personally, as I set up to run my own home campaign of "Way of the Wicked" I would really want a Cleric of Asmodeus and an anti-paladin (house-ruled to allow for LE) in the campaign. A rogue headed towards assassin is also a no-brainer. An infernal sorcerer is also hard to argue with. Any arcane class that loves summoning devils is going to be in good stead. The necromancer gets lot of love and...

Spoiler

can choose between becoming a lich or a vampire.

This is a good campaign for an alchemist as well. In Book two...

Spoiler

The alchemist gets his own murderous alchemical golem to fix up, install a brain in and master.

But besides those few notes, I think anything can work.

Ok. So my group did the cardinals tests today. Went pretty well at first. Only 1 person fell for the pit trap. They got past the fungus easy.The mist was no prob and they tortured the squire then skinned him alive and the necromancer used him to raise another skeleton....pretty gruesome but there evil so.Eh? The stairs trap got them. Wiped out all the necros skele's . They spotted the secret door to bypass the shreiker and snuck past the undead. Well 2 players didnt show. SO it was a normal party of 4.A cleric ,a ninja, a necro and a wizard. They..uh didnt do so good vs the fighter. They all got dropped below 0 hit points. I had to say the other to players chars ran in afterward. The antipaladin and fire sorcerer took him out. But all together a rather succesful dungeon.

Sounds like you had a good time. Thanks for taking the time to write a play report. I always enjoy reading them.

As the copies of these were in my cart when I received my code for :Tales of the Wilderlands' I just had to buy them. Not my fault, will of the gods!

 

[Fooly_Cooly]

Indeed. Will of the gods it is. I just happened to stumble upon it while searching the paizo site. Finally a decent evil campaign. Played again tonight. Was a short session but the players did well and they like the flavor that the viking captain and his crew add to their sea voyage .

mach1.9pants,

Truly you are blessed by the big A.

Fooly_Cooly,

Sounds like a very cool session. Glad your PCs are having fun with Odenkirk. He's a real charmer, ain't he?

Yeah.They were surprised at how powerful he was when he started cleaning out the water elemantals that were summoned on deck. I got some wary looks as they realized they will have to fight him later .Hahahaha. We are having another session friday. Last session for a player beore she leaves for the navy. So Im hoping it goes well. The irony that she will probably leave right after disembarking form a boat...

 

[gdmcbride]

Thanks for the play report. Very interesting.

Hopefully Odenkirk's prowess in battle will encourage them to not fight fair when the time comes.
