[Pathfinder] [OOC] DarkSun game

[Walking Dad]

Looks like Andor, Kinem and Tailspinner are still here (best wishes for you, Voadam)

kinem - Mul Psion (Kineticist)
Andor - Halfling Soulknife
Tailspinner - Half-elf Gladiator

So, we have still three players and one interested...

I will send GandalfMithrandir a PM. If he answers fast, I will add him in the ongoing encounter (one of the guards) if compatible with his character wishes.

If not, I will continue from where we anow and get rid of your survival experts (ranger and druid)

Hello Everyone!

I need to know what type of character to make to jump into this game, If its possible and fits I'd like to make a ranged combat focused ranger, preferably half-elf if thats ok, I've never played Dark Sun before. It's also fine for me to be a guard, just so I don't get killed in the first encounter.

Thanks for letting me in!

Good news:

GandalfMithrandir is coming up with a character

@GandalfMithrandir:

1. Can I call you 'GM'?

2. Any information is in the first four posts in this very thread.

Short:
Starting level is 3
20 pts Pathfinder point buy.

Ranger is available. Choose a Dark Sun race, record HP, get the bonus feat (all in post 2). Rest like standard pathfinder.
You can also take a look in post 3 for the dark sun animal companions.

I could get you in two ways:

a) You are one of the caravan guards (read the start of the IC thread. Link in post 1).

b) Could be introduced later.

c) You can take over Tiklan
Pneumatik - Human Ranger - Post #40

@Pneumatik: If you want continue the game, please respond soon!!!

GM or gandalf are both fine, whatever's easiest. I kind of like the idea of being a caravan guard, so I'll make a half-elf bow fighting Ranger 3, should I give him any particular armor or other weapons?

 

[Walking Dad]

The caravan guards work for the merchanthouse Stel and the caravan traveled from Urik, known for it's obsidian products.

I would suggest a bow (you wanted to be ranged) and some swordlike weapon made from obsidian (same cost as in other worlds).

You can choose between hide, leather and bone armor.
Bone as as same as hide, but counts as light armor and weights 20 lb.
The armor has the house symbol on it.

You have lost all you other equipment as the rest of the guard rushed you to get out. They never liked you much by the way (hard to be a half-elf).

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

I am thinking to fight with a Comp longbow to fit my Strength Score with bone armor, with a sidearm short sword made of obsidian with a backup dagger in my boot.

 

[Walking Dad]

I'm fine with a backup dagger.

BTW: Using obsidian gives a -2 on to hit and damage.
Hardness is 8, 15 HP per inch.

I would suggest 'Bolt' as your latent psi power. It creates arrows with an enhancement bonus. Better than the ones with an obsidian arrow head.

Would you be fine with starting play, before your character is final?

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

fine with starting play, what enhancement bonus to the arrows?

I can also give you the basic stats for my character if you want, the character is almost done and I can post it here in about 10 minutes
