Way of the Wicked - A Campaign for Evil PCs [PFRPG] Discussion (FULL)

[Malvoisin]

I'm ready to cut down any would be heroes.

Excellent! I've been swamped with work and family stuff the last couple of days, but today is looking good, and I am committed to going over the last of the character sheets today and tonight. We remain on target to launch the IC thread tomorrow.

 

[Malvoisin]

Insight, thanks for looking at Osrin's ability scores. Just one other thing: I think you only ranked 12 skills for him by my count; he's entitled to 14 (which you noted correctly just above).

Otherwise, he looks good to go!

[sblock=Murder]Murder
You have killed without just cause and been condemned
for it. To be sent to Branderscar Prison, this was no typical
killing but a particularly savage and unforgiveable act.
You may also have killed someone with powerful friends.
Note: You are not allowed to have killed someone in
the royal family of Talingarde. You may have tried (this
would instead be High Treason -- see above) but ultimately
they are too well protected.
Punishment: Death by beheading
Benefit: You deal 1 additional point of damage when
flanking a foe. This additional damage is a trait bonus.[/sblock]

Disposable Hero, Ethan is ready to roll!

[sblock=Extortion]
Extortion
You have defrauded money from someone by holding
information of their wrongdoing over their heads. To
end up in Branderscar, this was no minor act of merely
threatening to expose someone. Instead you ave attempted
extortion against someone of great prominence
and for exorbitant stakes.
Punishment: Life at hard labor in the salt mines
Benefit: You receive a +2 trait bonus to Intimidate
checks, and Intimidate is always a class skill for you.[/sblock]

Velmont, I think Valeria should have 10 skill points available to her, not 9.

Otherwise, she is ready to start.

[sblock=Consorting with the Dark Powers]
You have been found guilty of summoning an evil outsider.
Likely you were captured by the famed witch hunter
Sir Balin of Karfeld. The last thing he said to you was,
“May Mitra have mercy upon your wretched, damned
soul.” If only you could get a chance at revenge!
Punishment: Death by burning
Benefit: You receive a +1 trait bonus to Knowledge
(planes) and Knowledge (arcana) checks, and one of
these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.[/sblock]

 

[Malvoisin]

Fangorn, lest you think you've been forgotten, rest easy. I will go over your sheet later this evening.

 

[Velmont]

Velmont, I think Valeria should have 10 skill points available to her, not 9.

From what I calculated:

Witch: 2
Human: 1
Intelligence: 4
Campaign: 2

Total: 9

I'll be pleased to have 10, I just don't know where that last one would come form.

 

[Malvoisin]

My mistake, I had her favored class bonus as skill rather than hit point. 9 it is!

She's good to go now.

I think I was laboring under the assumption that "cross-class" skills counted as 2 ranks. Re-reading the PFRPG, I see that such is not the case. I will correct this shortly.

One thing that PFRPG improved on over D&D 3.x, in my opinion...less confusing this way.

Fangor, as promised...Jaylen is now approved!

[sblock=Heresy]
You have denied the supremacy of Mitra and been condemned
for it. For this to be a crime, you were not content
to keep your heresy to yourself. You tried to sway
others. Likely you were captured by the famed witch
hunter Sir Balin of Karfeld. The last thing he said to you
was: “Mitra may forgive you yet for your lies. Talingarde
will not.” If only you could get a chance at revenge!
Punishment: Death by burning.
Benefit: You receive a +1 trait bonus on all saving
throws against divine spells.[/sblock]
