[CLOSED] Pathfinder: Vampires of Waterdeep OOC Thread

[Angel Tarragon]

STILL RECRUITING! Recruitment ends 12/8/08. Will entertain alt slots after that point.

I'm ready to get back in the GM's saddle. Since I'm not ready to GM 4E and the Pathfinder rules are readily and freely available, it will be the Pathfinder system.

The group will consist of 4-6 vampire PCs, all starting at LA 11. The vampire template is +8 so you are free to add up to three class levels.

The vampires will be aspiring Nobles. And all will be in business together. I'll be using the Order of the Court & Play The Market sections from Power of Faerun. While not necessary reading by the PCs, it will help to familiarize yourself with these sections. Also, the fact that City of Splendors is out and I own it its inclusion to this game is a no brainer.

I'll allow Changelings (gain a +2 bonus to Wis & Cha) from Eberron. Spell Compendium, Magic Item Compendium & Players Guide to Faerun are allowed in their entirety. As per racial options, you are allowed anything for your race only so long as it is covered in one of the Races of... books (this includes Races of Eberron for Changelings). Other than this everything is is allowed on a case by case basis. Core classes outside of the Pathfinder system are not permitted.

Stat generation is as follows; all scores start at a base of 10 (no Con score, use Cha modifier to determine bonus HP). You have 20 points to spend on improving these.

[sblock=Ability Score Cost Improvement]

[b]Score  Cost[/b]
 11      1
 12      2
 13      3
 14      4
 15      5
 16      7
 17     10
 18     14

[/sblock]Then apply racial modifiers followed by vampire template modifiers.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I'd like to test out my homebrewed encumbrance system, so if you don't mind please your the values given there for your carrying capacity.

Very interested, been looking for a good game here for quite some time now!
On my way to work right now, so I'll post concept and such tonight.

 

[Ginnel]

Sounds fun Rev just a few questions

what type of game are you aiming to run? just handy in terms to know what kind of concept to go for. Would it be more free form reacting to events that happen or more of a set adventure type thing, and is political intrigue going to play a big part?

Will the players know each other? and can they come from places outside waterdeep.

How about inter planar stuff in terms of backgrounds?

I'll probably add more

It will be an equal mix of both. There will be parties to attend as apiring nobles and stuff will be happening on that level too.

Will the players know each other? and can they come from places outside waterdeep.

Yes, all are co-owners and ocasionally will ocasionally have to do a little more than supervise the business. I'm thinking of this as From Dusk Til Dawn. It'll be a Tavern/Inn that has its own entrance into Undermountain. Perfect for disposing of bodies.

How about inter planar stuff in terms of backgrounds?

You'll have to be more specific as to what you are are inquiring about. Do you mean races, feats, PrCs? Each is on a case by case basis.

I'll probably add more

Whatever crosses your mind. If it would help to garner interest, of course it is an allowable inquiry.

This sounds way cool and is a perfect setting for it. I'd love to get in on this as a prickish elvish sorceror for my couple of levels. I'll get something posted up in the next day if the spot is available.

This looked cool at first - then I saw who posted it.

Ummm ... yeah. Reveille, maybe you ought to let your Mud Sorcerer's Tomb game finish up before starting this one. Though I guess it has already finished, no? In the same way your Planescape game did, rather than even getting as far as your D20 modern/D&D matrix game did.

You come up with interesting campaign concepts, I'll give you that. Too bad the games never get played.

I had stuff going on at the time. Real life stuff. My dads death hit me real hard back then. I can promise that this will not meet an early demise. If you notice my posting history, you'll see that that time frame sees me as posting very little to none.

 

[Ambrus]

The unusual stuff always intrigues me. Color me interested. I'll think on it a bit more. How will PCs be chosen and how many are you aiming for?

Well basically it is first come first serve. I'll leave the roster open for interested players as alts. I'm looking for no more than 6 characters to fill out the party.
