Recruiting for Ongoing 3.5 Wildwood game

[Voadam]

I expect to be offline from Saturday Dec. 22 to Thursday Jan. 4. Happy Holidays!

I need to know two things

What are my skill points and how do I figure out how much gold I have?

Depends whether you gestalt or not. If not then you get 2+int skill points per humanoid Hit Dice with the normal x4 for first level.

Max rank is 5. All skills are class skills.

If you gestalt then it is the better of the two skill rates from your overlapping classes.

Starting gold for 2nd is 900 gp equivalent. If you want to be a character newly summoned to the world then generally any equipment is fine. In the setting there are no smiths and metal items are not easily acquired, though stone equivalents for many things (daggers, axes, arrows, spears, etc.) work the same mechanically. Natives generally have no metal or very little (which has been picked up from a ruin, a trader, or a newly summoned person who got eaten and left behind his armor, or sword, or pots and pans, as the case may be).

 

[Voadam]

As for wildshape, upon reflection, the ability to turn from a passive milquetoast into a huge plant beast is too hilarious an image. So it's more or less decided I'm going to go standard. Plus the advantages of being an 'improved grab' beast like a tendriculos with improved grapple from my own feats is pretty sweet.

If you wanted the PHII shifting ability from level 1 and wanted the appearance to be plant like I'd be fine with that. I think it normally costs the animal companion which would be the domain power under my system.

Hey Voadam, lol.

I thought I made a character for this a ways back, lol.

You did, then you disappeared right before you were supposed to join in.

 

[Voadam]

Voadam: I actually just looked at your IC thread right now and saw that the party is talking to a plant-based druid. Bizarrely enough, that's pure synchronicity; I was just riffing off the 'Wildwood' name. If you're okay with my concept and I get accepted, I suppose I could be connected to that fellow in some fashion - it seems natural. Although whatever works best, of course.

I've been thinking along those lines a little.

 

[Brazeku]

On examination, I'll probably take that shifter variant, chiefly because it is easier and more in keeping with the character concept. Although I'm probably going to switch to a Vow of Poverty build given I now have no item reliance at all and the wildshaper equips won't work on me. It also fits in perfectly with the aesthetic monk concept.

One thing though - I want to be able to keep my tea and pipe until I can give them away after taking a vow of purity as a plot point.

EDIT: also maybe you would want to strip the exalted feats out of vow of poverty; even if they're in I don't know if I have to meet the ability requirements for them

Yeah, lol... went offline for a while... wife decided she didn't want to live in the state we'd moved to... after almost 3 years... so we pulled up roots and zipped back to the Oregon area, lol. Freakin' backlog on the only provider in our new area... Comcast... guaranteed my disconnection for almost a month!!! Blackberry access doesn't work for the boards... not really, lol. Then there was the following almost 3 months to get life back into it's normal paths with all our kids, heh... and finally... I make it back.

History:
Syfer had a normal childhood for his kind, learning the fighting tactics of his people. Shortly after becoming an adult, feeling restricted by others of his Clan, Syfer ran off to adventure the world. Taking only his tiger claws and a few of his possessions, he traveled to the closest city, in the hope of finding work. When he arrived in the city, he wandered the it looking for a place to rest. While walking, he was attacked by a drunken man, who slashed his face with a knife. In rage, Syfer killed the man and fled the city. He ran through the forest until he was forced to stop, tired from the running. Finding a safe place to sleep, Syfer passed out.

[Pyrex]

heres my concept

Name: Syfer
Race: 2HD Humanoid Chiao

HP:20/20

With 16 Con and d8 Humanoid HD, shouldn't your HP be (8+3)+(5+3)=19?

Will 0
Fort 3
Ref 4

With a 14 Wis your Will save should be at least +2. Also, Humanoid HD have one good save, which for catfolk is probably Reflex. Note that as per House Rules that may impact your AC.

Feats:
Intimidating Rage (Complete Warrior)
Power Attack

You don't have Rage yet, so you can't take Intimidating Rage as a feat yet.
