[Iron Heroes] A Saga of Might - OOC (Re-recruiting)

[Walking Dad]

Actually, he is a cross between the to concepts. He is only going to take the basic and the Expanded Mastery: 3 (wrestling) feat. I love the concept of wrestling bears and giants ant to have a backup after hurling my axe (fury talent, next buy).

If you do a weaponmaster (unarmed) or a man-at-arms (many bonus feats), we should get very different characters.

You could also buy the feat chain as finesse feats, for even more difference.

Edit: Seems there is a second edition of IH coming:

@ Shayuri: Sounds like you could steal this concept - essentially, you're a "Mowgli" type character. Raised in the wilds, you learned how to fight like the animals (bare-handed or with a stick etc) and talk with the animals (or at least you believed you could - how it's done in actual play is beyond me). You get your feral, you get your wilderness skills, and you get your unusual martial arts. What do you think?

 

[Shayuri]

That was the idea, but I am concerned about crossover...

Still, I've been making adjustments to the concept. I think it can be repaired.

and talk with the animals (or at least you believed you could - how it's done in actual play is beyond me)

The Player's Companion has the Animal Affinity trait and the Beastmaster mastery feat, which grants an animal companion.

I don't think it's too much of a problem. WD's character is more of a brawler, I think (and I suspect everyone is pitching towards the "no starting equipment" aspect). Several of the other clases would give you a more focussed martial artist with a different fighting style (weaponmaster or your original choice of harrier would work well). Maybe a hunter would fit those character concepts the best, even.

 

[Shayuri]

Hunter struck me as a bit cranial.

I'll stick with harrier for now.

An animal companion might be cool, but I think that would come later.

I'm also eying Razor Fiend, for possible fun with daggers...

Hey, if you still need players I am willing to join, I'm kind of new to the Iron Heroes rules but I have a pdf and have heard some great things about it.

I have read through much of the posts so correct me if I am wrong: You have a Berserker, an Arcanist, a Harrier and an Archer

I am willing to play an executioner, if all the slots aren't fully filled that is.

 

[Dr Simon]

Sure, if you can come up with a good character concept.

 

[Frozen Messiah]

Alright then, I will try to get in a character sheet A.S.A.P

As for an idea for my character, he would focus his deadly art towards monsters rather than people. I am kind of seeing a van helsing type of character but focuses on the denizens of the deep.

would having profession (sailor) be enough to fish or would I need survival because I don't want to step on anyones heels?

 

[Dr Simon]

I reckon Profession (sailor) would do, perhaps Knowledge (nature). IH characters have more points to spend on skills, so a few like that won't hurt.

I like the idea of a sort of sea monster-hunter, and having somebody who can sail may be an advantage....

well here he is:
