[OOC] Shamutanti Hills - psi/gng [3/4]

[doghead]

Given the expression of interest by Sado, there is a possiblity that this game will get off the ground. I'm happy to run it with just one character, but two or three would allow a greater range of the psionic classes and abilities to be tried.

Should you be interested just post up here. CharGen information is all in the 2 post.

Ahoy! I come to rescue this campaign. I'd gladly be interested in playing. In fact, I've already got a character made up. Just need to adjust his stats to 28-point buy. He's a rogue, going into psychic warrior, going into elocator. However, I know absolutely nothing about this setting. Will that be a problem?

 

[doghead]

Komodo, post up the character here and we shall see. I'm not sure what an elocator is, but as its going to be down the track we can worry about that later.

The setting is fairly generic fantasy. I'm thinking for celtic ireland than medieval europe in feel perhaps, but it won't be anything particularly out of the ordinary except that there are no magic using classes. As Sado mentioned, there is a Fighting Fantasy site that outlines the setting, but I'm only going to be drawing on that indirectly.

Elocator is a PrC from the Expanded Psionics Handbook. I had the character in a game that never got off the ground, but that was a while ago and apparently the thread was finally deleted. I'll have to make it up again, assuming that the concept is okay. It shouldn't take me too long.

 

[Sado]

Doghead, I read over the Grim-N-Gritty rules today, and I must say I am positively giddy at the thought of trying them out. They look awesome.

It will probably take me a day or two to look over the psionics stuff enough to be comfortable making a character. I'm thinking either a Psychic Wrrior or a Soul Knife right now

 

[doghead]

Kodomo: Found it. I havn't really looked at any of the PrC so far. But its in the SRD so it should be fine. With an entry requirement of Concentration 8 ranks it means minimum entry of 6th, so not really an issue for a while. So the concept is good.

Sado: Glad that you like look of the gng rules. At low levels they actually increase a characters survivability somewhat. Sould Knives and Psychic Warriors are probably the easiest to start with. Thats where I would start.

So it looks like we have two, both reasonably handy in a fight. Should be good.

A couple of days to get characters sorted (post them up here first - We might just use this thread for out Rogues gallery if there are only two), and hopefully we shall be running before the end of the week.

I promise I'm still here and I'm still interested. I've been swamped at work. We've had one person out sick and another on funeral leave, that in addition to the fact that we are only at 75% staffing in the first place. I've pretty much been going to work, coming home to sleep, and going right back in.

I think I've got a handle on the rules, and I've pretty much got my character worked out (Soul Knife). I've pretty much just got to do his/her (haven't decided on gender or background) equipment and then should be ready to post.

 

[doghead]

Hey Sado. Soul Knife is good. In the gng thread (last page or so), someone describes how their Sould Knife took out an ogre toe to toe. In gng, thats pretty impressive.

Ooh! Ooh! I love Psionics soooo much. I know I got here kind of late, but I would love to have a piece of this. I'd play a Shaper I think. Gotta love those Astral Constructs. On the other hand, I do also like Kineticists alot. They just have that oh-so-satisfying BOOM factor to them.

So I'm undecided. I'll go read over the GnG rules again, and see how I feel afterwards.

 

[doghead]

Hey Eluvan

Three chaarcters would be perfectly doable. I generally allocate slots on the basis of characters presented. Even assuming both of the others post up characters before you, there would still be room for one more.
