Grim Tales - 'Chronicles of the Witch Hunter'

[Bobitron]

Bobitron, that is ok IF you have a character name and basic idea/description I am totally fine. BUT please intro yourself in the game

Thanks for the time, Karl. I picked up Grim Tales today I will use it on Sat to get everything stated out. I think it looks like a Tough/Strong hero, with two pistols and a longsword, staying mounted whenever possible.

Sounds great... but you will only be starting with Riding Horses, so shooting guns off of them may or may not spook them

Point taken. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey Bob check the League thread about Fury stuff

Now still waiting for two more players to post and then I will move to the next day and the 'mission'

 

[Karl Green]

Thought I would post Action Point uses for this Game...(I am pretty sure they are all open content, if not let me know and I will remove them)

- Improve a 1d20 Roll (attack roll, saving throws, skill checks, initiative)
- Activate a Heroic Ability (some feats, talents and class features require it)
- Make a Heroic Strike (can 'strike true' against damage reduction)
- Improve your Defense (add the roll of the dice to your Defense for a round)
- Confirm Critical (you don't re-roll to confirm Crits, you spend a Hero Point if you threaten one)
- Confirm Critical Success with a Skill (each skill has a Crit special if you wish to)
- Healing after combat (heal dice of damage after minute of rest)

Gaining Action Points During Play... normally you only get your AP back when you advance a level; BUT you can also get them from the following...
- Activate a Critical Fumble with a Skill (any time you roll a 1 on a skill check I will GIVE you a AP if I activate a fumble)
- Activate a Critical Hit (award you an AP if I activate a critical threat against you)
- Activate a Critical Miss (award you an AP if you roll a 1 on an Attack check to make something bad happen)
- Heroic Rewards (award you an AP if you do something really Heroic)

There might be more (sort of similar to in Buffy where if I do something bad to you, the GM gives you an AP to help you)

Where did you get that picRadiant? Mighty cool.

it's Rackham/Confrontation. It's just one of the preview sketches they release before the actual minis go for sale. Those folks are just awesome.

Can I suggest for ease of reading, that every time a player posts (in the Playing the Game adventure thread), he puts the name of his character in the title bar (as I do above). For me it helps remember who is who, when reading the thread. Thanks.

Turanil, do you have Complete Arcane? If so I included a couple spells from that list (marked with the *). If not I put their alts from the PHB in (X). I rolled them totally random to be fair as possible (except for Detect Magic and Read Magic) .

Spell list…
0-Level: Dancing Light, Detect Magic, Flare, Know Direction, Message, Prestidigitation, Read Magic, Repair Minor Damage* (Daze), Resistance
1-Level: Backbiter* (Alarm), Comprehend Language, Grease, Obscuring Mist, Protection from Chaos/Evil/Good/Law**
2-Level: Protection from Arrows***, Spider Climb

*spell found in Complete Arcane
**This will be somewhat with the 'Allegiances' but also creatures of Chaos are always chaos, etc.
***Will also work against bullets

I don't have Complete Arcane so will stick with PHB spells. One thing though: I would like to keep Repair Minor Damage instead of Daze. I will probably never use Daze, and Repair Minor Damage is probably not difficult to use (a version of Mending?).

I go and update my character sheets.

Oh yea I should have said that... I do like that myself as I often forget himself and I have to look it up

Sure that is fine and yea Repair minor damage pretty close to that

Captain Tagon, you have been very quick. I hope you are still interested. SORRY that I have sort of started BUT your character can still get in

 

[Bobitron]

Karl,

I was looking at the Grim Tales and D20 Modern rules, and I think I have settled on Charismatic 2/Strong 2. I will have time this weekend to complete him. Thanks for your patience
