[SCI-FI-esque] Sign ups (Full) The World of Avalon

[KitanaVorr]

Well the only books I have with me while I'm on holiday are PHB, DMG, D20Modern, and OA. I won't be home until this weekend, but a Psionic character does sound interesting or a warrior.

But one thing...there seems to be some male/female thing going on in your races. Is there something I should know about that since I will be playing a female character?

"where women raise their children and boys learn the ways of the outerworld" "A shirani male is always accompanied by..."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

This is Vor'en. Terribly sorry, I forgot to log out of my Star Wars Iconic screen name before posting....

I'll put my character up shortly, but I have a few questions about locations first. Is there anywhere in the Settler Stalk lands that borders on a hostile nation, or perhaps is frequented by bandits? Any of that sort of place?

 

[reapersaurus]

I'm working up Kron (or Cron) Brugeld (or Brogeth or Brogath), a Kahmian LN soldier-on-the-wall, defending the Covenhold in the Wanderhold of Morrengeld from any possible attacking force.


He would be skilled in the creation and use of the Zalibur, being trained as a Uhmorn-reh by his loyal Order.

1) What opponents/attackers would he have fought against out there?
What are the dangers of living out near The Gap?
Is there a group of Paladin-type guys in Avalon that are supposed to protect their charges? If so, I'd like Cron to be one that has gone too far towards the "punishing the foe" approach - more concerned with making the attackers pay than with protecting his charges. The ends justify the means, etc.

2) The Zalibur - it's a force effect bow? A Knockdown/Knockback effect would be appropriate, maybe?
Can it be made Mighty (to use the wielder's STR bonus)?
Does it use arrows, and if so, can I use special arrows from published sources (I will detail if you allow...)

3) I'm assuming that the bioware and cyberware from CyberStyle will not be in play....

What things (magic, etc) might be available to enhance a ranged specialists's attacks?

Nope Kitanavor, no problem I should edit this to reflect a more sexless approach to this race.

Females also have Shofar, sorry about the fastly written mistake. Also you do not, as a Shirani, have to have your character orriginate from this area of the world. I will email you some more details about your characters race that other races do not know. (at least very well)


Thomas (Dont worry about the error of the posting name I get yah. ) As for the answer to your question yes there are lands that border on hostile territory. A) either the Gap, or Anywhere between Blackgate, and Touchtown (one word of info there are smaller towns not listed on the map, most of those you can make up yourself if you want to.) Bandits are worst near the Gap where they can prey on the Drover's from out of cave based camps.

The Zalibur is a force effect bow yes, and yes one can buy a Mighty Zalibur (just as one can by a might composite ....)

Yup you figured it bioware, and cyberware are not in the picture though Settler Magic includes some nifty medical devices that are similar (such as synthaskin which can replace burnt or deformed skin, and nanomeds which are nanotechnology that hunt out viruses and toxins in the blood (helped cure cancer).

As a Warrior of Morrengeld, Cron will most likely have made many forays into the Gap against the Jur-galanar or in Settler Common the Shadows they are a strange form of beast (Similar to the They from the movie by that title)

As a Son of Carr you are responsible for all Kahme who follow the teachings of the Sons ( Very strict martial religion that is heavy on self sacrifice for enlightenment. Very eastern in orrigin) As a Son of Carr you are to set an example for those of your path, that they might not falter through their trials. Mainly never take more than you yourself would be glad to give in return from a fellow Son, Protect others even to the detriment of yourself....you get the jist.

As a man who finds the ends justify the means you must surely fill a strong anger towards the bandits of the Gap as they are a major threat in your region, also the Jur-galanar as they are the embodiment of the unknown, a silent shadow in the moonlit jungles of the Gap.

Mainly I would say that a Ranger would best suit both the Paladin, and Over Zealous Watcher type you are after. but that is me.

As for magical things most the normal things from the DMG are avaliable (also if you have a decent item in mind let me know), Also there a series of really good Archery feats that can apply to the Zalibur all over the ENworld that I have collected but dont have handy.

As for Settler magic, Rangefinders, and the like can be added to the Zalibur at an additional price.

 

[Dalamar]

I'll write up the principles the mage class works on. Oh, and will you please e-mail me the stuff on shirra too?

 

[reapersaurus]

I scoured Cyberstyle and other books for archery feats and the like.
If you wouldn't mind, could you post or email me the ones you are allowing from ENWorld sources?
johnandkel@lanset.com

The only Rangefinder I know about is from Quintissential Fighter... what stats are you thinking of for them?
And I am leaning heavily towards a ranger-type class (looking at Woodsman from WoT, Monte's Ranger (if that's OK), The Soldier from Cyberstyles, etc)

And I guess with our starting money at 3rd level, Bracers of Archery are too expensive...

 

[KitanaVorr]

I'm going to have to bow out of this one. Sorry. Esp if I'm DMing one game and might be another. I'm also sick right now and my brain can't do any more overload

 

[Timothy]

Sorry that I'm not posting a lot, but I've got very little time to be on the boards, I read everything, but don't have time to make my char. He'll be up sunday.

 

[Priest]

Kitana its ok hope you feel better ( I gotta cold too)

Reaper, Dalamar sent you mails

Tim look forward to your character on sunday (no big rush to start the game, as I am still working on details outside of the known Settlers Lands (Other than what I have told Dalamar )

As for Rangefinder rules you can use the rules from QF if you like. or work some out yourself its up to you.

Still waiting from word from the rest of you about what you might need or want answered

 

[Inez Hull]

Priest, I'm looking at playing a Shirrani too, can you send on the details to me also? When do you want character concepts / stat blocks posted?, I'm almost done.
