Welcome to the Savage Tide Adventure Path, a campaign full of dangerous monsters, hostile terrain, murderous organizations, and sinister magic. This campaign begins in the exotic port city of Sasserine. The City of Sasserine is perched on the edge of the known world, the last stop before the endless expanse of the Amedio Jungle. It is a hub of trade, and home to more than fifteen thousand souls, a bastion of civilization in a realm haunted by piracy, disease, violent weather, and monsters.
Sasserine in Brief
Sasserine is located at the westernmost edge of the Amedio Jungle, nestled in a sheltered harbor. Most travelers come to Sassarine via ship, as overland routes are fraught with peril. From the sea, Sasserine isn't much to look at; two ragged cliffs of stone jut from the coastline, their faces home to seahawks and gulls but little else. Then a vast rent in the cliff slides into view, its summit crowned by the shattered remnants of an immense stone bridge. Sailing between the slowly eroding stone pylons that once supported the bridge above, a visitor passes from open sea into a thriving harbour of commerce, whaling, and intrigue. Certainly the smell of the city is breathtaking - a tremendous riot of exotic spices, smoke, and humanity assaults the senses. Sasserine is split into seven distinct districts, each with its own personality. These districts are separated by inner walls, by networks of canals or rivers or simply by age. Friendly competition between the districts is common, especially during festivals like the coming Wormfall Festival. Yet the citizens of Sasserine do not hesitate to come to each other's aid in the time of need. Perched at the edge of civilization, Sasserine is often and has always been the target of assault from land and sea; the pirates of the Crimson Fleet, the navy of the Scarlet Brotherhood, the frog-like bullywugs of the surrounding marshland, and even gangs of ogres and giants from the nearby mountaints keep the city on constant alert, yet to date the fiercely proud city has fallen to the enemy only once, and even then only through the act of the city's most notorious traitor.
Campaign
Welcome to a world of pirates, dinosaurs, and demons. I'd like to invite you to join me on this ambitious quest through Dungeon Magazine's latest Adventure Path ~ the Savage Tide. This will be a long term ongoing campaign and as such I'd like to ask for dedicated posters who can post at least a few times per week and who'll stick it out as far as we can make it.
Over the next two week's I'll be taking applications for the game. It will not be based on first come first serve, I will be choosing based on concept and character with a thought to party composition and personal knowledge of poster. I will be taking 5 characters and leaving room for alternates as well.
Mandatory Reading: Savage Tide Player's Guide
Characters
We will be starting at 1st level though I have a few house rules for character creation.
- HP max
- Gold max by class
- Stats will be rolled on Invisible Castle using a slightly arcane method.
a. Roll 1d20 on Invisible Castle with a new character name (or your board handle).
b. Post roll and name here.
c. Wait for my okay.
d. Roll 4d6.takeHighest(3).minroll(2) 7 times on Invisible Castle, drop the lowest score and arrange as desired.
e. Make sure you post a link to your roll here.
f. Rolls that add up to less than 33 point buy may be increased to 33 point buy per the usual rules in the DMG. - A list of core sources is provided below.
- Players may select 2 additional sources from the Additional Sources list below from which to build characters.
a. If its not on the list, ask, I may have forgotten it. - Future HPs will be based on rolls at Invisible Castle: 1dx.minroll(half of x, rounded up). (ie 1d4.minroll(3))
- Characters get an extra feat at first level, but the second feat has to be a background feat.
a. eg. Talents from AE, Heritage feats, Background feats from Savage Tide Player's Guide, ask if you have questions. - Characters will get a feat at every level instead of every three. Class based bonus feats will remain the same.
- As part of the hook for the game, I'll want everyone to include something heroic that they've done in their background. Something that a patron with an ear about town would pick up on.
