HM's swashbuckling adventure (game postponed)

[perrinmiller]

WD; that was my intention, but until the mechanics are set, I haven't started actually making the sheet yet.

 

[HolyMan]

Ok Privateering it will be. And the following for character gene which I will edit onto the first page for easy finding.

Starting LVL = 5th
Starting Gold = 3,000gp
Sources = 3.5 Core, Completes, Unearthed Arcana, and Stormwracked
Abilities = point buy 35 pts.
Race = Human only (no additions added to race)
Class = any but magic based classes will need twiking
Skills = You may custom your class skills by switching one skill for another (like I said may not be alot of need for fighters to have Ride as a class skill) and add +2 skill points to each classes base as I see this as a heavy skill based game
Feats = normal, and each character starts with Skill Focus of their choice
Equipment = magical items to need approval
Additional rules = so far Defensive Bonus and Armor giving DR bonus from d20srd any others? And will have healing surge rule to be added soon.

Ok this should help in character gene (and give you something to do if EnWorld is down). I will get an RG made so as not to have characters oon a bunch of different pages. Have fun creating a character.

So this is going to be just 3.5 instead of pathfinder? If so then I'll bow out. The basic classes and progressions in 3.5 are just a bit bland for my tastes.

Not bowing out (yet), but I have seen the changes to barbarian, fighter, ranger and rogue (most approciate freebooter classes) in PF and I like them. I like even more the options for these classes in the APG.

Barbarian: Drunken Brute, Superstitious
Fighter: (Cool fighting styles)
Ranger: as fighter, + skirmisher (spell-less variant) and urban.
Rogue: Burgler, scout, sniper, swashbuckler.

Bard got the sea singer (with shanties) and the archivist would make a great ship doctor)

The rules are open content, so I could post them here as needed.

NP Vertexx69 hope you look into my WotBS pathfinder game coming soon.

I'm sure you can twik a 3.5 charater to give him the same feel WD but for now I think the majority of people want this to be 3.5 sorry.

Not a bad start Voda Vosa just wondering why you chose chain for your weapopn of choice and hpw you are going to work that in a background. Should be fun to read.

BTW I started an RG please transplant your character there when you have a minute. Thanks.

Hey, he is a creepy pirate, sabers and that are not good enough. You must be able to rip a leg from 15 feet to be real mean.


Also, do we get pistols?

 

[HolyMan]

Yes there will be pistols. Why need a back up weapon LOL

I'd like to see when he swings those chains and gets them caught in the rigging, or has to fight in the hold That's why pirates like pistols and cutlasses, easy to swing an a crowed ship.
