Blood Sun, Chapter One: The Shadow Over Junga OOC

[dave_o]

I will finish up later when I get home. I've still got to get equipment as well... which brings me to these questions...

1) Are ALL forms of armour available? I was thinking to grab a Breastplate or Chainmail?

and 2) Am I allowed a Maul? as in a giant sledge hammer - I think it's in Arms & Equipment? (Only due to the fact that Great ?? weapons are kinda boring, and wanted something slightly different). If you don't have the stats I'll post them for you to approve.

Tonight I'll have everything submitted and ready to go!

Metalworking exists so all forms of armor are available. Big smashy armor is like priority one in Greenskin technology. Also, post the stats for a maul but I don't forsee a problem. Mauls are badass.

I've updated the Characters section of the wiki with all your stuff, if things are missing refer to my previous post to see what needs to happen to remedy that. Here's a link if you're lazy -- http://bloodsun.pbwiki.com/Characters

Festy_Dog I plan on having info about Stone Hand in the main section, but first I want to wait and see what kind of role your PC ends up taking as for as possibly furthering the religion as, right now, it's more of a personal belief for him.

Got some more of Spratnik's description up, might add more later. Also, on the wiki character page, you forgot to add the size bonus us goblins have to our attacks. or at least on spratnik.

I usually add conditional stuff like that only when it applies, since the attack bonus only applies when facing medium or larger opponents.

I'm noticing some little mistakes, for instance, how does Jrag have Daze Monster prepared if he doesn't know it?

Good Question lol. I was debating between the two and picked detect thoughts, but guess I really wanted Daze Monster so I'll change it

Now I have to ask, because it might change one of my feats, but since you're going to make magic surge are you going to have any feats related with it?
I'm asking because I have a few ideas about some. Such as reduce surge possible give you two chances to save against surge, or greater surge with an automatic surge to make the spell super beefy.
If not I understand, but the main reason I'm asking is because I want Jrag to be trying to gain control over the surging and make it bend to his whim

Sorry, I apologise for not finishing up yet. I WILL DO IT TONIGHT!!

I may make some changes, nothing major. Will still be a barbarian an all, it's just I'm having trouble picturing him as he is at present. A maul is badass, but not quite badass enough...

Do we all know eachother prior to this adventure? I imagine we all hail from the same tribe?

Another thing that crossed my mind - your wiki says that orcs 'rank' themselves above 'lowly' goblins - with the exception of maybe the shamans. How will this work with one orc, 5 goblins? Would I not automatically deem myself the leader - and bash in any dissidents heads?

Would it help if I maybe lowered his INT and/or WIS, the others could use 'bluff' to 'control' me/put words in my mouth? Could be quite interesting?....

Festy_Dog, how do you have Handle Animal +7 with only six ranks and a -1 CHA mod? Just like relist your skills broken down into like Skill (+x ranks, +x DEX) or whatever.

Done and done. The unaccounted +2 comes from the synergy bonus from 5 ranks in Ride.

Festy_Dog I plan on having info about Stone Hand in the main section, but first I want to wait and see what kind of role your PC ends up taking as for as possibly furthering the religion as, right now, it's more of a personal belief for him.

That's fine by me. It was the best excuse I could come up with for a source of druidic power, and while he doesn't scream his beliefs at others he makes no secret of them. He favours the Hand over either of the Eyes but he's sure that the Bright Eye is the most publicly favoured option, and isn't sure how his theories would be accepted, and how the Hand would be compared relative to the White Eye.

Now let's brainstorm some ideas as to why the party is together!

Spratnik and SIN's orc barbarian are both classes of a nature inclination. If either of them spent much time out of town it's not unlikely they'd have encountered Razzit's tent or perhaps Razzit out looking for wolves.

On another hand, most of the party is goblins so if they ever felt the urge to shop around in search of a deal on a lupine steed then at one point or another they'd have been directed towards Razzit.

And then again also, Jrag and the possible goblin cleric would both be under the umbrella of 'witch doctor' so if there was ever any gathering of local witch doctors (and those that just happen to be nearby in the wandering Jrag's case) its possible the spellslingers would have crossed paths there.

But those are just ideas for how the characters would have gotten acquainted with each other. I guess it depends upon the task at hand as to why they band together or are assembled by superiors.

For starting, I'm thinking immediately available feats for that sort of thing are a no go, but it's definitely a future possibility. Given that we'll be fleshing out this campaign setting with this very game, there will be some playing around with mechanics.

You're all going to be "born" in and thus from Warboss Junga's settlement at the foot of the mountains, as shown in the authentic map on the wiki. Since there are going to be four goblins and one orc, obviously the orc will feel that he's the leader by rights, but given his relatively low intelligence (and if you wanna swap points around, -SIN-, to make it even lower just let me know and I'll make the adjustments on the wiki), it's very possible the four goblins manipulate him. Right now I'm playing with the idea of having the "command" of four goblins given to -SIN-'s barbarian as perhaps an insult or punishment.

Maybe we'll start with an arena match in which -SIN- is defending against some slight against the Warboss by having to face something with only goblins as his companions. Obviously the more respected witch doctor gobins would have to have done something wrong, as well, to be punished such.

Keep brainstorming, though!

Also, I will probably have everyone make a new post here with their finalized sheet (in the format I have on the wiki if you don't mind terribly) so I can just cut and paste it to the wiki, saving me some trouble and letting me focus more on the fun parts.

I'm pretty stoked about this game!

Two things, I'm still alive, and I'm still working on buying equipment, but here is the first thing that comes into light........it's really hard to spend 270 gold as a wizard with no magical items lol, though I might buy a wolf from a certain goblin shaman. What would the price be on that anyways? The riding dog is 150, so I was thinking 200, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes on that

2, I kinda like your idea dave_o, but Jrag is not from the settlement, but it could be part of the toll that I have to fight in the arena with them

Equipment and stat re-jig done. Currently working on description & background, which, once again, should be up tonight...

Sorry for the false promises, but I will be done VERY shortly...

Oh, and I'll post a completed version in your wiki style as requested, though as far as I know, when you post it moves stuff about, so it'll more likely be set into 'blocks' in a list.
