NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[nakia]

Hey Gang,

Roughing in the PC line-up for my Black Eyes of the Demon Scorpion game...

Here is what we have so far:

• Rel - Brandis Tollhart, halfling quartermaster and entry expert (Fast 4/Smart 5)
• Henry - S. Antonius Bellicus ("Fighin' Tony"), human war wizard (Smart 9)
• Cthuhlu's Librarian - Boldric of the Brigantes, human ex-barbarian, ex-slave, ex-gladiator (Strong 6/Tough 3)
• Tiberious - Myrwyn of Eastenmarch, Caeldyn (half-elven) tracker and scout (Fast 5/Tough 4)
• Nakia - Maxian of Tyrial, the "Hammer of the Sythians", human warrior and zealot (Strong 3/Dedicated 6)
• Riggs - Vercinius of Osirian, human war priest (Dedicated 5/Charismatic 4)

The big magic users will be S. Antonius Bellicus and Vercinius, with Fightin' Tony getting the big, flashy stuff and Vercinius the support magic. I hope to have everyone's PC basics to them within the next 2 weeks (stats, feats, talents, skills, spell talent overview, etc). If you have a gripe about your PC assignment and want to horse-trade, feel free .

Also, let me know if there are any general questions I can answer!

EDIT: Corrected Maxian of Tyrial's class levels to Strong 3/Dedicated 6

Zealot, eh? Cool. Is he the "kill the infidel" sort of zealot or the "I'll kill myself before renouncing my faith and falling into the hands of the enemy" sort of zealot? Maybe he could be the "hang out on your doorstep for three hours trying to give you pamphlets" sort of zealot.

 

[Rel]

not miniatures of your favorite DMs.

You and I both know that we want a "Henry" to put on our gaming shelves at home.

And my players would love the space-saving, mini-effigy sized Rel fig.

I'm guessing he didn't get the epithet "Hammer of the Sythians" by being good at carpentry.

And my players would love the space-saving, mini-effigy sized Rel fig.

I'd NEVER allow a mini-effigy sized figurine; makes Voodoo too easy.

Want to email me what kind of restrictions you might have? Or ideas of things you want? Want to start another thread?

Meeza interested big time.

The only thing that I can think of is 'no full blooded fiends' (not this game anyway), but since it's 8th level or ECL, that's not much of an issue. I'm not averse to much in the way of character concepts. The last gameday that I ran a 3e PS game, I ran an evil game and had, among other things: a half cornugon ranger, a githzerai, a human necromancer, and a free willed cranium rat hive. *grin*

Email banter works fine for character ideas, and once you've got one polished up I'll post it here just so as to let others know what characters are already involved.

 

[Mark Causey]

Give me some alignment ideas, then? Someone an aasimar would trust, I guess?

 

[Shemeska]

That's how I knew which books to get ... and I've noticed the conversions in progress .. should I use the pw.com guide for making my character, or wotc's 3.5 planes? beyond countless doorways?

Don't overly concern yourself with 2e material and Planescape lore. Just a brief overview of the 3e WotC material on the planes (Manual of the Planes) will probably suffice for this game. But by all means take a tumble to the 2e PS material. *grin*

Anything by WotC is fine by me, and the same goes with the pw.com material. The latter has better conversions of the 2e factions if you wanted to play a member of one of those, though FWIW the game is post faction war.

However we won't be in Sigil at all, so those politics aren't going to be an issue to be concerned with. As far as Planescape goes, this game is probably a better introduction to people not super familiar with it since it's less PS than it is 'planar'. Not that I find much distinction between the two, it's mostly a stylistic issue if anything.

The law/chaos axis doesn't much matter here. Alignment of neutral to good works best, but I'll even allow an evil character if they'll play nicely. Evil doesn't have to go out of its way to make life difficult for their coworkers.

And on that note, I have to go hold office hours. bbl

I really need to get on some of this Planar goodness, alas, it will have to be for the next game day.

Sounds fine to me. Vercinius of Osirian it shall be! I will take a gander through Rel's borrowed GT book as soon as I can. Looking forward to your future updates, info etc.

 

[Old One]

Yo! Henry!

Henry,

Your character stats are attached. Grab the GT character sheet download from the Bad Axe site and fill 'er up ! Also, make sure you have gotten the Spell Casting pdf from the Green Ronin site and practice some augmentations. I suggest coming up with 1-3 "standard" uses for each spell and feel free to post/e-mail them to me if you have questions. That will probably speed game play considerably.

I still owe you equipment (including some fetishes that will improve casting certain spells). The skills listed are your class skills or skills you have ranks in. Let me know what questions you have!

EDIT: Also, the listed skills should have all synergy bonuses/stat bonus/etc already added in (ie, they are complete). You will need to tackle any other skills that are useable untrained and have Stat and/or synergy bonuses available.
