(Recruiting) The Fall of Zathas

[Shayuri]

Okay...well...does that mean you'd rather I didn't make one? Or would you like me to help develop them?

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm fine with you making an elf, but I'm not sure what to do with them. I don't necessarily want a player involved in 'development' of them yet. It's a non-concern at the moment.

 

[Theroc]

Creamsteak, if I've figured out the general mechanical layout for my Warforged, would you like me to post it up for you to review? As a note: If I list a feat you are unfamiliar with, it will almost certainly be found in the PDF made by crystalkeep. I'll do the flavor stuff soon, but want to make sure the numbers are correct.

 

[Creamsteak]

If you have your stat-block go ahead and post it.

 

[Shayuri]

My apologies, but I'll have to back out of this game. Time is less free on my end than I anticipated.

It looks like fun, and if my schedule clears up in the future, and you're accepting new players, I may try again.

A couple things regarding the stat block.

1) I'd prefer it formatted to fit on the page without the code block. I find it easier to read and easier to move to other formats.

For example, here's the 3rd level version of one of my characters in a game:

Shrapnel
Warforged Fighter 3
N Medium construct (living construct)
Init +7 Senses Listen -2, Spot -2
Languages Common

AC 19 (+4 Dex, +5 armor), Touch 14, Flat-Footed 15
HP 25 (2 HD) AP 5
Immune poison, sleep, paralysis, disease, nausea, fatigue, exhaustion, sickened, energy drain
Fort +3, Ref +5, Will -1; +3 save vs. fear

Speed 30 ft. (6 squares)
Melee slam +7 melee (1d4+4)
Base Atk +3; Grp +7

Abilities Str 18, Dex 18, Con 10, Int 8, Wis 6, Cha 6
Feats Mithral Body, Mithral Fluidity x2, Construct Lock
Skills Craft (armorsmithing) +5 [6 ranks], Hide +9, Move Silently +9
Equipment 4 potions of repair light damage, Repair Light Wounds Wand, Docent of the Scout

Battle Hardened (Ex): A warforged fighter is crafted for battle, ready to act at a moment's notice and hardened against terror. He gains a +3 bonus on initiative checks and on saves against fear effects.
This substitution feature replaces the standard fighter's bonus feat gained at 1st level.

Shaky (Ex): You are relatively poor at ranged combat. You take a -2 penalty on all ranged attack rolls.

Construct Lock (Ex): You gain a +2 bonus on damage rolls against creatures with the construct type (including living constructs). If you roll a critical threat against a construct, you can forego the confirmation roll to make another attack roll using the same modifier. If this second attack also hits and deals at least 1 point of damage, the construct must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Con modifier) or be rendered immobile and helpless for 1 round (as if it had been paralyzed).

If you spend an action point to improve an attack roll against a construct and hit with the attack, the attack roll is automatically considered to be a critical threat regardless of the number rolled on the die.

It reads just like the (updated) monster stat block entry, and there's no scrolling involved. It takes up more space and doesn't get formatted like a character sheet, but I find it more portable and there's no annoying scrollbars within the scrollbars of the page.

Second, for any feats, special abilities, or other things I might have to look up - I want both the full text and the original source listed. The feat you picked (ECS) Powerful Charge, but there's another feat from the complete book of eldritch might called Power Charge that does something different. For more varied items like spells, I would appreciate at least the page number and reference book.

For Reference:

POWER CHARGE (GENERAL)
Once you start a charge, you become extremely dangerous.
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Strength 13
Benefit: When using the charge action, you deal an additional +2d6 points of damage with a melee weapon on a successful attack. Do not multiply this damage in the case of a critical hit.
Fighter Bonus Feat: Starting at 15th level, if you took this as a fighter bonus feat, you gain an additional +10 bonus to damage when charging.
Boosted: You gain a +10 bonus to speed for 1 round while using this feat.

Full text for disciplines, feats, and spells is gonna be a hefty bit of text. I'll have to add that later as time allows. I'm still hung up on background and motivations...

 

[Drowned Hero]

Seems im a bit late but im gonna try anyway

I find the game concept quite interesting and as i se myself as adult at least in years... this is the kind of game i think i can like very much. Politics, intrigue, mature content maybe?
The less hectic pace is something that attracts my interest too, as that is the pace i got on all my other games including the one i GM.
It makes it possible to make longer and more in depth posting and those game, at least in my experience, are those that survives the test of time.

More to come...

Races and classes taken.

Human wizard - GlassEye
Warforged Fighter - Theroc
Human Paladin - hellrazor111
Human Warblade - Tiali

Seems like this group can use a Roughish/ranger type.

Trul - Human Rouge
Soldier: Rank two or three

The lock picker, the trap finder, the social skilled to talk his way trough problems or intimidate enough to be let trough.
Trul was could name his family tre up to Goran a rank one soldier of the original expedition. He did not particuallry disagreed with the
military state of the city as it usually had worked in his favour, but he did see tha lack and particulary hard life a low ranked soldier
or a civilian had. He had seen abuses and did no like it, but that was reality, wasnt it? He certainly would use the rank to get his will
in smaller things. *

Ralin - Changeling Rouge
Noble

As of a minor Noble house Ralin was streetwise and clever. He had earned a reputation between the few that knew his skills. Skills
that lied in perfect robberies or undercover missions, spying or as it had been latley: the private detective to follow unfaithful
wifes/husbands or merchants that found a way to gain more favours then their fellow cast members.
Is a big cynic trying to use the way of power of the city to his own benefit. Hes not less moral then the average but he will use his position and knowledge of the power structure as best he can to ascend in life and position. A minor house didnt always stay minor he was told as a child.

Good diplomatic skills, lock picking and the roughis stuff. *

Broller - Halfling Ranger
Soldier: rank one

Broller was son of Huar two fingers a former soldier and of the military cast that in punishment of a bigger robbery to a high ranked
officer had been cut of three fingers of his right and demoted to civilian. Brollers father died then year ago by his own hand as he
couldnt bear his life as a civilian.
Broller did at a early age seek to the scouting service for the military using much of his time recognizing the jungle outside the city.
Has little respect or at least not to much committed to the powerful officers of the military structure. He was quite sure he would
never get promoted as he was not in the inner circle of power in the big city. He worked with them because he got food to eat, shelter
when not at work and something to do.

Good survival and nature skill, good sneak and hide, riding dog. Scout. *

*To be expanded/modified


Must say the idea of the changeling rouge noble Ralin attracts me most. With more information his motivations could get more interesting then the not nobles. Any of them would be a viable character option for me though.

Fleshing out more when i get Feedback.
