(Recruiting) The Fall of Zathas

[Drowned Hero]

For this game, I will be making use of The Collected Book of Experimental Might. The book heavily modifies the Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, and Wizard. It slightly modifies the Barbarian, Monk, and Rogue. If you do not have access to the book, I would recommend against choosing any of the above classes. I have gone to some length to grab out the rules material that someone without the book would need to run any other class and repost it here. I did this so that players without the book could contribute fully to the game.

I got the The Book of Experimental Might. just wondering if that is a separate book from the Collected Book of Experimental Might?

You mention slight changes on the rouge class that i cannot find in my book. Would appreciate you expanded on the changes you mention.

And as im on it. More information on nobles and their ways in the city would be appreciated too.

There are two PDFs. The Book of Experimental Might, and The Book of Experimental Might 2. The hardcover version is available from Paizo and called The Collected Book of Experimental Might.

Ok we seem to be lacking on the side of healing, and are in abundance on the side of fighting. In that case I will stick with my same personality and still remain in military caste, but move my class from warblade to crusader, and toss in a few healing meneuvers. If there are no objections to this, I will toss my character sheet up tonight for review.

Just updating you, Creamsteak, I have been slowly shifting the format around to be more similar to yours, though it's not identical.

Hopefully the new format is better for you than the old.

Alright, by Sunday I expect preliminary character sheets to be up in some form. I'll evaluate how far along we are at that point and see if we can get a game started.

Mostly done: needs more gear but since he is military caste I figure he won't have anything more than what they give him. Which may be problematic when it comes to his spellbook. Advice would be welcome. Could use some description and some more detail in the history. I'll put some more work into it if it looks like this is actually going to get off the ground. Also, I'll be traveling beginning Sunday and going through Thursday or so.

A five year old child wanders out of the wilderness one pudgy hand grasping after a small bird flitting just ahead of him. Within sight of a guardpost the bird disappears and the child blinks in confusion. Soldiers at the gate see the child and bring him to their commander. With investigation, the child, it is determined, is of the military caste, a son of a farmer from a nearby settlement. The settlement, however, has been destroyed and it is clear that one of the local tribes of Lizardfolk did this vile deed.

The boy is called Atapesh and is raised by the military. He begins by helping the soldiers in their chores but when it comes to the captain’s attention that the child has a quick intellect he takes the boy as his personal aide and messenger.

So-far I'm pretty happy with general stat-blocks and character concepts. I think I know what I'd like to run for this group, supposing everyone is up for it. I'm curious if everyone (except the noble) would want to be members of the same faction of the military? Possibly even down to being from the same unit with some sort of reputation?

For stats, it looks like Atapesh is complete to me. The couple lines of story work for me. You can (and should) spend your gold. It's not like your superiors horde all the wealth. Unless you want to come from a particularly ruthless faction, they likely try to let each man have whatever they earn and consider that acceptable. The harsh structure of the law has been stretched and beaten at this point to be more pallatable. I was also thinking you could have recently been assigned to assist the warforged character...

Ralin, a couple typos in there, needs HP, to officially be a member of the noble caste at the start of the game you need to spend a feat, but of course you could take me up on my offer to have someone fake their rank and position. That could be fun too. Especially as a changeling.

Seifer, if you want to be a paladin of freedom go ahead. I *think* your ability scores come out to 30 point buy instead of 28, even with 16s only costing 9. Reducing either to a 15 would be sufficient.

Theroc, very cool so-far. I think this character will potentially be pretty interesting. I was thinking it might be interesting to take a more Xen'drik feel with the character's backstory. What if, instead of having been built by a mage, he was found in some lost ruins out in the jungle? I think this hook gives me the potential to spin some interesting stuff, if you're up for it.

Tiali, hope your still interested in this game. I think a warblade or crusader could round out this group nicely. Don't worry too much about the healing, I will scale the game to the groups strengths and weaknesses to make it fit regardless of what we get. Both are very fun classes.
