FFG Legendary Class contest submissions

[RedCliff]

RedCliff, how much of your character was description and how much was stat block...? did you equip him/her with PC or NPC recommended gp values...?

Sorry about the lag, I've had troubles getting onto the boards lately.

My characters were several paragraphs of historical description, giving a brief overview of their adventuring careers and how they reached the point they did, and then a stat block. Off the top of my head I can't give you a specific breakdown in terms of entry space each occupied, but the description seemed bigger. In my mind stats were stats, and while important to get right, it was the story of the character that would better illustrate one possible application of the legendary class.

I did equip the characters, though I didn't necessarily go with the recommended gold values. If anything, I erred on the side of poverty.

no need to apologise for something that's not your fault...



Sounds like you've done something similar to what I had in mind... at least we may manage to keep some consistancy this way...

although thinking about it, I've equiped one of the sample characters using the PC recommended gold values and that seems like way too much so I'll bring it more in line with NPC and see how that looks...

Alrighty!

Couldn't get to the boards all day! But, I'm here now!

Here's what's "final" so far:

Warrior of the Broken Wake
Deity's Weapon (now Divine Weapon)
King's Warden
Maitre d'Escrime
Nimrod
Storm

I don't have a final for Reddist's stuff, because I'm waiting to hear from him about some editing issues. The Forgemaster's latest edit got lost somehow ... Shadeus, I need a new copy (or did you ever do more than clear up things in the discussion here?). (Sorry.) I don't have the Neclord here, because he's getting left out if his author doesn't do revisions, or at least tell me he approves mine. Anyone else that's not here, isn't necessarily out, but if you want in I need your class (The True King, etc.). I don't have the time, energy, nor the inclination to hunt it up.

Read yours over. If you see any mistakes, point 'em out to me. I may have put comments on yours, I may not have. I may have changed something. Feel free to ask me whatever you want to know.

I took the liberty of doing one thing here fellahs, but if you don't like it I can change yours back. That liberty was: I used some feats from Path of the Sword as prereqs for some of the classes, where it made sense. That serves the purpose of supporting the book by which we were all inspired (and all got for free). It also gives these LgCs a unique edge as bonus material for Path of the Sword.

The problem is that this affects your iconic characters, who'll have to be tweaked to meet the new prereq list. If you included iconic characters, see this document for an example on how to lay out the statblock:

Guardian of the Green

Make the character as complete as you can, but have fun for goodness sake. Don't do it if it's a chore. Just realize I'll check it for accuracy and such.

Finally, tell me what you want to be OGC and what you want to keep PI. Technically, the LgCs themselves are closed content, besides the stuff derivative of the SRD. When we get to the final stage, we'll need d20 Dwarf's input on how to handle publication.

It looks like the final document will be illustrated and designed, with 10 or more LgCs. Sweet!

Thanks everyone.

Finals

I didn't see any edits for the Storm, so I didn't change anything with it. I rewrote the section of the Wbw was requested.

In looking over the iconic character example, I noticed a large difference in the amount of information presented in your posted example and what I had, however, I simply have too much pay work to detail the iconic characters to that extent. So if that is to be the standard, feel free to axe mine. I won't cry too much, maybe just a manly tear or two.

 

[Khur]

Fine!

That's okay Redcliff, I just meant the statblock format. Sorry for any confusion. If I had to write that much now, I'd have to give it a pass too. I wrote that stuff a while back ... and went kind of wild. It was fun though. That's my ultimate point ... if you'd enjoy doing it, do more, if not, no worries.

What you've done is great!

 

[Khur]

Hmmmm...

Are people having trouble getting to EN World? Is that why there's so little response here? Or, have I made you all mad in some way? (kidding)

Whatever's going on ... bump!

maybe (like me) they're all trying to get some final work done on their submissions...



I went through the final drafts of the the King's Warden and the Maitre and I'm really happy with how you've rounded them off...

found one minor typo in the Maitre but I'll correct that when I attach the stat blocks and backgrounds for the sample characters... (one 95% completed and the other about 95% to go )

will try to get something done in the next few days..

 

[Khur]

Cool!

Don't sweat anything guys.

I probably found the typo you're talking about, but any help is welcome. I have to go through these one more time, just to polish them a bit more, then we're set. I have some artists on the hook, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks everyone.

Sample dude...

anyone feel like having a look at this sample character and giving me some feedback about how it looks/reads and what may or may not need adding...?

thanx people...

 

[Ruavel]

marvel at the subtlety of my bump....

no, wait...! that sounds a little crass...
