Bo9S-themed homebrew gestalt game -- now recruiting!

[James Heard]

Thanks for approving the language venture. I was just going for a "well, he's got one, but he's obviously never had any inclination as Shin to have one so it must be from before - what would an alien parasite learn?" I figured I'd make something up and hope it didn't provoke a wtf response. Some language that's spoken more in the courts of the Genies and such rather than in some weird dojo.

That's cool, though note that High Imperial would probably only be spoken in the Elemental Courts with Astresian ambassadors and the like. Amongst themselves they would speak one of the four elemental tongues, with a whole complex etiquette in place around which of the languages is spoken between members of different Houses. But generally the rule is that you speak Ignan in the fire courts, Terran in the earth courts, Aquan in the water courts and Auran in the air courts.

But if the alien parasite in question was a free agent moving between different courts and not tied to one House in particular, High Imperial is a good choice to represent a connection to that refined culture without picking one elemental House in particular.

That's it, especially since I don't have nearly enough language slots to grab four languages.

Updated Maas' character sheet to replace Giant with High Imperial.

Really looking forward to starting this game

Okay, I've done a fairly thorough comb-through of the characters. Sorry it's taken me a little while to get around to this. If you don't have an sblock below then congrats, everything looks good and I couldn't find anything to nitpick.

[sblock=drothgery] Just very minor stuff here.

- Looks like the note after your AC should read 17 (not 16) when benefiting from White Raven Defense.
- I believe your Reflex Save should be +2; 0 base +2 Dex.[/sblock]

[sblock=Nac Mac Feegle]- Looks like you've spent 34 pts on abilities instead of 32. Str 18 (10 pts) Dex 14 (6 pts) Con 16 (10 pts) Int 10 (4 pts) Wis 10 (2 pts) Cha 8 (2 pts) = 34 pts.

- I'm afraid you don't meet the prerequisites for Multiattack. There are Totemist soulmelds that give you Natural Attacks, yes, and I would allow those to satisfy the prerequisites... but they only give you those attacks once you bind them to your Totem chakra, and you can't do that until level 2. Sorry, but it looks like you'll have to wait until level 3 to get Multiattack.

- Sudden Leap requires one other Tiger Claw maneuver, which you currently don't have. Also note that with no running start Jump DCs are doubled, making it DC 20 to get 10' with a Sudden Leap. Since your Jump check is only +2, it's of somewhat dubious use to you. An extra 5' step is nothing to be sneered at, but the maneuver gets exponentially better as your Jump check goes up.[/sblock]

[sblock=James Heard] - Looks like you've spent only 28 pts on abilities. Str 13 (5 ps) Dex 12 (4 pts) Con 10 (2 pts) Int 13 (5 pts) Wis 16 (10 pts) Cha 8 (2 pts)
= 28 pts. It was 32 pt buy, so you have 4 more points to play with. [/sblock]

[sblock=Brian Compton] - Not that I don't know what they are, but you should probably note your classes somewhere on the sheet.

- It'd also be nice if you could list your AC (with flat-footed and touch values as well) and the details for your attacks. Take a look at any of the other sheets to see what I mean. It's nice to have this stuff noted down for quick reference.[/sblock]


Hopefully I can get the first post written and the IC thread up sometime tomorrow, while we iron out those last few creases.

Fixed WR Defense AC; clarified Reflex Save (when Battle Clarity applies, it's +3).

Thanks for the bump in the subscription to remind me! I've finished my revision for the higher point buy (not that I have any clue why I did what I did first).

 

[James Heard]

Bump?
