Fifth Sepulcher - Short Combat-adventure

[Scott DeWar]

I should be able to do more work later today on my characteer.there may a few changes like what has been advised above to make.

 

[Rayex]

A trickster would indeed be a good choice, and possibly quite fun to play, I hope. Anyway, things seems to be coming along nicely, and we soon have a full group ready to go kill stuff.

 

[Jemal]

Well, my character is pretty much done Number wise.
Now I have a problem, though. In all my tweaking and thinking "hey I wonder how a spirit shaman/sacred fist would work" I've still been unable to think of anything for his/her background/personality... I'm drawing a complete blank on it..
EEP.

I might revert back to the Monk/Horizon Walker (nameless one), as he at least I had some fluff for and knew how/what he is outside of numbers.

thoughts? I know it's combat based, but I have absolutely nothing for the sacred fist except numbers on a sheet. Which sucks, because I still love the idea of it.

 

[Walking Dad]

@Jemal: Maybe something like an order of the Natural Weapon (bad name, I know), that follows a stringent order, that only beings that fight with natural weapons to protect nature/whatever are pure enough to join. So he begins his empty handed path.

 

[Scott DeWar]

here is what i have been chewing on. sorry it took so long. bad sunburn complicated by other health issues.

Ok here is a thought...how about :

rogue 2 fighter 2 sorcerer 6 prc: eldrich Knight 2 (favored class: sorcerer)

I blame the change on my ...health! yeah, my messed up sunburn! Yeah, yeah that's the ticket!

still yet another update:

[sblock=history/background]
generl notes for now:

Born to a prostitute near the docks, he was mostly raised by the madamm or the house...she always taught him how to be shrewed, but also a kindness that she showed to her girls. when his mother was working the streets on night, she run afoul of some dormitian slavers who were trying to take her on a more permanant basis, killing her when she resisted fiercely. the madamm heard of the incursion and sent her own possee after them with the words, "I'll teach them filthy slavers to keep their thievin' hands off my girls!"

this pretty much started an overnight war between dormitians and this one house...he escaped when the fight was brought to his 'home' and as the building burned, he was slipped out the windo to the streets to escape...as far as he knows, he alone survived....

living off the streets as a youngster means only one occupation: thievery. food snatching that led to pickpocketing and cutpurses which led to plain street thuggery. he found a gang that dealt in those things, but once again there was competition for territory and befor he knew it there was a war going on, where all of his gang were killed or assimilated save him...once again he alone escaped...

Still needing to eat, so he started honing his skills in a more refined form of thievery: cat burgler...case a joint, raid it, sell the stuff and then eat for the first time in a week! that is untill he cased the wrong joint...that of the home and temple of Ge' Chen, sorcerer of the dragon blood (rread: dragon heratage)

this kind old man actually caught the young lad sneaking in his home while he had just sat down to a quiet evening of rice and vedgies...he followed him about his house watching how he showed the greatest respect for every thing there, with the exception of the occasionallly snached eaaasy to sell trinket. as the young Gerard was redeaying his exit, the ancient master spoke up, asking him what he wanted with the items he had taken, he answered in the only thing that came to mind: the truth. with an audible gulp, he spoke of eating, bathing and maybe some new clothing.the kind old master was wise so he invited him to joing him for food at his table. While Gerard ate and talked, the wise old master listened and watched...the bow was showning strange, yet familiar actions...while only a lit candle was all that illuminated the room Gerard was able to see even in the dimmist of light available (lo light vision)

this was only possible by the talent of a scerer like himself. He explaind many thing to gerard about what he might have experienced and invited him to stay the night...with the promise that he will let him keep the trinkets taken if he would listen to master Chen in the morning with the audince of one other. the next morning found gerard hampton under warm blankes and a roof over his head. a cup of hot tea, wam bath water soap and clean clothing were in the room as well....the smell of breakfast was just starting to reach his nostrols and that is all it took for him to geet moving.

tea drank, body washed and clean clothing donned, he waks to the commen room to find master chen and one other (none other then Wyace himself). the old master spoke of in born energies that can be shaped and called forth, that he wanted to help him under stand them and to hone his abilities and at the cost of just learning.Gerard was hooked...friendships were made over time, and he actually saw the old master as his father...over the past year Gerard has now learned how to use those energies, but the old hatred was always just under the serface...the dormithian slavers would pay someday...

I realized that here, as well as in my other game, I'd made a slight mistake about HP gain on levels. It was supposed to be 3/4 of max, not average+1. Sorry for the confusion about this, please update your characters accordingly!

 

[Walking Dad]

Perhaps you should change your initial post in regard of HPs?

I have big problem to finish up my character. Perhaps my heart isn't really on it. Would it be fine if I change my character concept to elf or half-elf hexblade?
I would like to use the dark companion class feature from PH2. It is on Crystal Keep. basically:
loose familiar= gain mobile de-buff effect in the shape of a panther (without stats)

 

[Rayex]

WD: Im ok with that, if it doesnt take 2 weeks to make it

Jemal & Scott: Any ETA on those characters? If they're done, please post'em in the RG thread.

 

[Jemal]

Came up with enough fluff info to be able to play the Shaman, so I posted her in the RG.
