PCs Still Kicking Puppies OOC [CLOSED, original players still welcome]

[Telsar]

Telsar, speaking of characters I'm looking at a feat from the UWH.

carrier, pg. 32, probably the best way to handle his diseased nature...

now I need to find the disease... Something with a fairly long incubation period so the whores can spread it but also something that’s going to be very lethal…

Edit: BTW I've never had so many CC skills... Is there anyway I could get diplomacy added to his skill list? I mean one needs to be able to negotiate the price... or would that be appraise?

When I saw carrier, I was sure you would take it. Unfortunately the UWH doesn't have any new diseases that I could find. Looking in the DMG, Devil Chills might be good. 1D4 days incubation, and having to make 3 saves in a row to recover from it makes it more difficult.
Diseases really should have a new category, "sexual", as a way of transmission. But I guess anything with injury or contact will work.
If you know of any other sources with diseases, feel free to select from there, as long as I get the details

As for Diplomacy, a few of the original characters took the feat Cosmopolitan (from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting), which makes a skill count as a class-based skill, and gives you +2 to it as well. Or I'd allow a modified version of the Negotiator feat. Instead of giving a +2 to Diplomacy and Sense Motive, it makes both into class-based skills. (BTW, everyone, I'd allow this option on any of the +2 to 2 skill feats)

And a connection with Alicia might work. I was also thinking you might get along well with Lydia. The creatures she cares about (undead) are immune to your damage, and your victims are still able to become what she wants.

 

[Telsar]

Due to the 3 day weekend/holiday, I am now leaving town for a little while. and will return by Tuesday at the latest. If you want to go ahead and start between now and then, go ahead, as I believe I am going to be written in a little leter in the beginning than most of the others. I might get a few chances here and there to get online and post, but I am not sure. Looks like the beginning to a great game!!! Now Aligor has to go wet his appetite with a few barrels of ale!

Yeah, I wasn't considering the holiday when I said we could start by Monday; everyone's probably going to be busy or recovering. But I still hope we can start then. If you're back when we start, I might have a little happen to your character on his own simultaneously while the others are doing their thing, so everyone will be involved and have stuff to respond to.

Have fun this weekend.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Yeah, due to my computer being fried, I have to use my university computer labs, which will be closed on Monday due to the holiday.

But Lydia might be able to get along with Bro Shatterstone's character. Thought I idly wonder if she would gross him out more than he would gross her out.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

If you know of any other sources with diseases, feel free to select from there, as long as I get the details.

Well there are a few books out there that do indeed have STDs in it. I'll look around, I have a "few" books to look though.

Or I'd allow a modified version of the Negotiator feat. Instead of giving a +2 to Diplomacy and Sense Motive, it makes both into class-based skills.

That would be awesome... As I said I have like 14 of my 32 skill points tried up in both of those skills.

Would this be like a regional feat where we could only have one?

And a connection with Alicia might work. I was also thinking you might get along well with Lydia. The creatures she cares about (undead) are immune to your damage, and your victims are still able to become what she wants.

Very true, but as I said I don't want to force myself on any established character, and besides what this guy is would probably make any female baulk at friendship.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

But Lydia might be able to get along with Bro Shatterstone's character. Thought I idly wonder if she would gross him out more than he would gross her out.

Well from what I've read of the IC thread, not much just the first page or two, Lydia doesn't appear to be a very good pick as a carrier... So he would be disappointed but not disgusted. Anyone who does what he does probably doesn't look to fondly at sex, it’s a simple tool for unending chaos.

Telsar, hey I got a question... I'm kind of board with the whole long sword thing so would you mind a weapon from AEG Mercenaries?

Spatha: cost: 20 gp damage: 1d8 critical: x3 weight: 4 lbs. Type: piercing and slashing.

A thrusting broadsword similar to a gladius, general used by cavalry but with its longer blade it can also be used as slashing weapon. The total length is just over 3 ft.

It seems balanced. No problem.

Negotiator and the other +2 for 2 skills feats, the ones in the players handbook anyway, aren't regional, so you can have as many of them as you can afford. But remember, you're only 3rd level, and need at least one feat for Carrier.

One book that has sexually transmitted diseases is the Book of Erotic Fantasy (an OGL-compliant book). If you have access to it, it might be a good place to check. If you don't have access, but want to see it, drop me an email at telsar@mchsi.com, and I'll get you the info.

Yeah but I'm also human, or at least sort of, so I do have one more feat to play with but I'll probaly do something combative with it.

sweet, saved me some typing... Asteral's Doom, pg. 45, this would probably devastate a good-sized immoral city in a year time.

I thought I would never get any use out of that book...

Anyhow, if you hit the link in my signature a list of my d20 books will pop up. It’s slightly out of date though... I need to probably add another 20 or so.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Okay, updated T'aria in the RG thread...

Paxus - does how I met Gwyn work for you as written, or do you have any suggestions as to what to change?

Telsar - Can I take a feat from the Player's Guide to Faerun = Blooded?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

That works fairly well. For his own sport, Gwyn prefers young women or inexperienced paladins, but he's willing to kill just about anything when the money's right.

 

[Serpenteye]

Serpenteye: whew, that's an evil background! I like it. The wheels are already turning in my head, telling me how to use it. My only concern is, I wonder how well Alicia will get on with the rest of the party. Most of the others are cool professionals, sometimes with specific goals, who I can imagine helping one another achieve them. But I'm not sure what your character's goals would be. Looking for a boyfriend? Any ideas on class(es)?

But it's definitely interesting, so you're in. You can put your character in the Rogues Gallery as you get it finished. And we'll need to come up with some connection between you and some other PCs (still need to do that for Brother Shatterstone's character too). Hmmm... we're getting so many new characters, it might make more sense to have the new PCs be an exisiting group that Lydia and Gwyn have associated with in the past.

Any ideas from anyone on PC connections are welcome.

Class, probably a fighter/barbarian focused on grappling . I still have some more background to add to account for her martial skill. As for the connection... Maybe their employer noticed her capacity for violence and her lacking intelligence and saved her from her pursuers to give her a job in their organization?
