Ok, BS - I think I'm gonna take this on (provided you are ok with my stipulations - see below). Roll up your character, post it here and we'll start chatting about it. I already have some ideas percolating, so it should not be too long before we start playing.
Sweet!
All of your stipulations look fine to me, I suspect most of them are for a group, but I will prounonce my character party leader.
I'm big time in favor of RP over mechanics, I've been playing my vile darkness character, no in her own solo game, since November of last year and in that time she has been in only one combat, and she was railroaded into it.
I'm a daily poster, so hopefully you'll be able to keep up.
Well even though never of us is big time mechanical freaks we should still talk abuot this part.
Geustalt: I fixed the link to the rules, do you have an issue with this? (I figure not since I asked for it in the first post but I would still like to know what you think about it.)
We haven't talked about level yet, but I'm thinking somewhere between 6 and 10. (See lackeys ideas below.) I suspect that just do to the vastly superior evil in the world that my character will probably/mostly be up against groups of lower level character, so it should be high but not so high that everything is a massacre. (Though that could be fun, especially to help set the dark mood of the game.)
Lackeys, I have no doubt that he has a group of orcs, half orcs, and maybe a few goblinoids, to forum his own party... I see them as pure fodder, and I see him killing a few if it's needed. I suggest I take leadership, or at least use the rules for it, though with the face, I can see her being a cohort* so leadership isn't such a bad idea. I've seen alternate rules for substituting strength for charisma but we should look at the character before talking about modifying rules.
* Even if the face fills the role of cohort, I don't expect her loyalty to be undying... I imagine she's filled with guilt, but that she sees no way out of it. She believes the threats, and has no doubt that they can/would be carried out of she betrayed him but if the right chance game along she might risk it.
Okay the class is going to be legate/Wildlander, if you're okay with the gestalt rules. I'll look around at a few heroic paths and see which one is the most useful, I have a few more sources so I'll write them up for you as needed.
Lastly, do you want me to roll dice or do a buy point for character creation? (I recommend a high number for point buy... Might sound insane but with only one PC and with gestalt rules the lack of a dump stat I was thinking 40.) If you want me to roll I suggest some crazy but it’s been a while since I rolled for stats.
Thanks again Ashy!
Let's go with legate - it's in the CS, and I think that I have a good handle on it; I've already got some story ideas based around the class, actually.
