[OOC] Dungeon Adv. Path: Life's Bazaar

Well, the matter is this:

I'm basically munchkin enough to consider WF a wasted feat on it's own, so I would take it if it lead to "Monkey Grip"; if it doesn't, I would rather not. :)

Complete Text:

Monkey Grip [General]
You use a wider variety of sizes of weapons.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +3, Weapon Focus with the appropriate weapon, Str 13+.
Benefit: You can use one melee weapon that is one size larger than you in one hand. For example, a halfling with the Monkey Grip feat can use a longsword in one hand. You suffer a —2 penalty on your attack roll when using this feat. This feat can be taken multiple times, each time with a different weapon.
Normal: Only weapons of your size or smaller can normally be wielded with one land.


If you don't want it in your campaign, no problem, I will find something else!

My name is Geebo, Geebo Kozolin. I’m a gnome hit man, I don’t practically like killing people but the money is quite good, and money is real important to make it in this world. My therapist said I should write down things about myself and my past as a means of growing, or something like that. I’m just trying to make sure I don’t slip into an evil state of mind as so many of my kind have.

As early as I could remember, I was part of a small group of travelers on a far off island. I learned later that this island was called Floodrun islands. My parents were travelers or inventors or both and were part of some great elven expedition to explore. Well, that didn’t last long.

While I was little my father, whose name was Keygo by the way, gave me a crossbow, because I was in charge of hunting food for our family. I must’ve been about 15 or so then. Even though I was young I took the task greatly. I didn’t mind killing the animals, I needed to eat, and so did my family.

Maybe the animals were angered at me, or food was low or something similar, because a whole pack of wolves came in a violent rage to our camp one early morning. I was awoken by their growls and the screams of elves being ripped apart. I grabbed my crossbow, and my hunting knife and left my tent. I saw many, many dead bodies. Both my parents ripped apart, in the toothy maws of gray skinned beasts. Well, I shot them both and equally ended their lives.

I grabbed food and luckily escaped the camp. I must’ve run 50 miles before I collapsed in depressed, angry, and worn out heap. The next thing I know I awoke in a bed, a bed in a dusty room. There was an old human man there. His name was Grem, or maybe it was Gram. He told me nursed me back to life. I thanked him; he also told me that I was now in the city of Araudine.

Well, there was a catch to all this. The man showed me his wizardly powers, and told me he was actually an elf hater and was working against the elves of the city, and That I would have to help him kill some elf lord or something, and then he would get me to the mainland and I could do whatever I wanted. I was about 21 or so then, and I agreed.

I did it; with a new weapon Grem gave me, a smaller hand crossbow. The bolt I used to shoot the elf was tipped in poison, deadly poison too. Needless to say, I did it, wanting to go this place Grem called the mainland. The poor elf was a lady, never liked killing ladies.

I had to kill Grem, no not because he made me do the hit. It was because of what I found him doing to another elf lady the next day. Lets just say it wasn’t very pleasant. She screamed a lot too. This man was a savage. I shot him, while he was in ‘the act’. He fell the floor, blood spilling from the hole in his neck. The elven girl, Christie, she was called if recall, helped me get to the mainland once I saved her.

I stowed away on some ship, heading for another elven town known as Floodrun. Once there, I didn’t know what to do with myself. My life lacked purpose. I soon began needing money for food my only answer being to become a burglar. I didn’t like taking the peoples money, but I didn’t like not eating either. So many tough choices I’ve made…law over unlaw, good and evil…I just try to not think about it much and do what I want, but back to my story.

The local thieves guild, forced me (quite easily, I wasn’t up to battling a group of thieves) into joining them. I first worked as a hit man then, but once I botched up one of there assigned hits, they wanted my head. It wasn’t really my fault I messed up, how was I to know the greedy merchant was actually a necromantic cleric?

I stole some money from them, and have been hitching rides from there all the way to the cauldron, performing simple hits and burglaries the whole time. Now that I have arrived I am looking to save my money to open an assassins guild of my own, but to get money for that (travel and food had cost me a lot) I am signing out as a freelancer to merchants, adventurers, guilds, anybody that will pay me enough.

“Hi I’m Geebo Kozolin, I’m not married, don’t have any kids, and I’d blow your head off if someone paid me enough”

Appearance
Geebo is exactly the average height and weight for a gnome, his hair is black and fine, but his eyes are gray, and he keeps his face shaved. He wears casual black/gray clothing, comfortable and flexible. He has a black hat (like one you would find in a bantam outfit) that he uses when it is cold, or when he is working sometimes.
 

Gwolf you really think a paladin and an assassin are going to work together? I think the little guy has personality my character on the other hand....

Thanks for the compliment. Besides my guy being a professional killer, he isnt evil and is overall pretty friendly. It may work, you never know. Maybe Geebo and your character will have something in comon.
 

Again with the list. Would somebody control this guy?

Hi all. :) This is what the party's looking like so far:

(1) Ftr/Bbn/Rgr/Pal — Douane (Carrach Kozat, Hobgoblin Rgr1)
(2) Sor/Wiz — Ascending Crane (Hu'ka Gnishrak, Canis Sor1)
(3) Clr — Dog Faced God
(4) Rog — GWolf (Geebo Kozolin, Gnome Rog1)
(5) Wildcard 1 — Jalon Odessa (Liandra Ilvarya, Elf Brd1)
(6) Wildcard 2 — rangerjohn (Rothgar, Hobgoblin Pal1 of Heironeous)

So far so good. As soon as Dog Faced God posts his character, we can all figure out the whats and hows of getting to/being in Cauldron. So far it seems like this is what we're looking at:

In Cauldron now: Hu'ka, Geebo.
Not in Cauldron: Rothgar, Liandra, Carrach.

Otherwise, I think I'm going to nix Monkey Grip — I don't have the book and I don't know if I'll be picking it up, so... We'll run with the books in the first post for the time being — the only two books I anticipate adding right now are HoHF: Dwarves and HoHF: Elves (and possibly the MM2 or Races of Faerûn, but those won't really effect us). Otherwise, I'm saving for 3.5e. :)

Best,
tKL
 

Hmmm... there's been alot of action in this thread since I went to sleep to last night - I guess that's what I get for living in a different hemisphere to most of you.

Love the characters, guys, especially Hu'ka. It looks like we're gonna be a group of misfits though - a kobold, gnome and elf running around with a couple of hobgoblins. :D

Thanks for the map, KL, will make it much easier to finalise Lia's background. Coincidentally enough, an Expansionist/Victorian british aristocracy was pretty much the flavour I was envisioning for Liandra's family.

Just a quick clarificaion on how you'll be handling bardic music in the game: In most of the games I run I treat bard songs as requiring a standard action to begin singing, but afterwards the bard is free to act in combat whilst she continues to sing for the duration of the song. I understand, however, that there are two other common methods for dealing with bardic music (either that it requires a misc. free action to start singing, and a free action to continue every round thereafter, which I feel is terribly overpowered, or that it requires a standard action to start singing, and another standard action to continue singing for every round of the song's duration).

I'm perfectly fine with any of these methods, and it makes no difference to my choice of playing a bard, but it'd make it easier to plan Lia's combat actions if I knew in advance. Thanks.
 

I thought the same thing, rangerjohn, but Geebo doesn't seem like a disruptive CN as far as I can tell (he's probably about as CN as I would let fly in the campaign, by the way, he's a bit amoral, but seems like he could be a team player — as far as I can tell, he's more concerned with security than blood). It should make for an interesting tension between the two PCs (as long as it doesn't get too far out of hand). Plus, the party's looking fairly balanced as far as alignments go (LG, NG, N, CG, CN, and DFG's cleric) — there's going to be a lot of philosophical differences, even if Geebo's not CN.

Best,
tKL
 

While we're waiting, anything you have on the Canis race, Kajamba? How they act, how they view themselves, is there a Canis town, etc etc.

Anything will help!

(Otherwise I have this tendency to make stuff up as I go along!!!)
 

Jalon — Let's go with the second version, standard action to start, standard action to continue, for the time being. The free-free version is a bit too good, I think, and it seems like standard-free would be, too.

Ascending Crane — Canis don't build their own settlements. They generally live in human or elven cities and towns. Otherwise, what I gave you is what I have — feel free to make stuff up as you need to do so. That'd be neat.

Best,
tKL
 

KL how involved are the gods in this world? Obviously, my character was going done the wrong path for awhile. (Hunter I mean and doesn't have a single class skill, )either something drastic happened or he gave up in frustration.
