What The hell? I don't know why it posted it like that and I don't know how to fix it.

You used that character generator I showed you and tried to copy/paste, didn't you?

Yeah... that doesn't work at all...

[Dr Simon]

Theroc, Ironjaw looks fine, although we said that Greater Grab needed Improved Grapple as a prerequisite, so maybe swap that over.

Zenos, I would say for a fox nai-nek-chai you'd use the small dog stats, not the medium, so you wouldn't need the Medium Animal Form feat. Also you'll need to swap some languages as there aren't Dark Elves or Gnolls in this setting. I'd suggest Tlaxan for Gnoll if you want a "beast-man" language. Maybe Spiritspeech instead of the Dark Elf Silent, that will allow you to converse with most creatures of the Netherworld.

I listed 'Improved Grab' and 'natural weapon' as the prerequisites. Did you add Improved Grapple on there? If so, my mistake.

However, at the moment, I'm leaning towards Shakou anyway.

Does anyone think any of the characters fit the setting/party better than others?

 

[Dr Simon]

I probably misread Improved Grab for Improved Grapple. Improved Grab is kind of a given, as the feat is useless without it. But then, Improved Grapple requires Improved Unarmed Attack, unless you are a monk, and I don't think Greater Grab is powerful enough for two feat prerequisites (three, really, as it's useless without Medium Animal Form). I'll go with it as is, for the moment. If it turns out to be monstrously overpowered I may reconsider but, as this is a playtest game anyway...

As for picking a character, I think any would fit. Ironjaw might provide some needed frontline muscle, but the other two are quite a good mix of combat and stealth, and the rogue doesn't overlap too much with Zenos' cleric since she has "item" and "acrobat" skills as well as stealth.

Probably comes down to personality. I'm thinking that Shaddar Mar can be bought in through knowing Jar'Thol (as all salsham'ai seem to know each other), you and Zenos as characters who have arrived to offer service to the Vashti for reasons of your own. As the two of you know each other, we could extend the same relationship to your characters, who may have arrived together.

 

[Neurotic]

Yes, we may know each other, but I don't think it would be realy friendly relationship. Shaddar (I'm considering changing the name to somethin more mist like with translation along the lines of Mist tendrils reach into the soul) - his parents story would then include traveling through mistwraith country and being touched by them.

Shaddar considers shamans too peaceful and holding salsham'ai back instead of spreading them over the world keeping humans with their destruction in check. Also, his connection to spirit world is somewhat lacking (he was initiate that was deamed unworthy or untrustworthy by local shaman, he is cold toward them. And considers path of swordsage, detached and focused on perfecting self, better way. By mastering yourself, you will master the world!

How would name Mystal Marr sound?

The contact with Jar'Thol could be:
- Jar'Thol was his successor initate shaman with Susar or guest for extended period
- he is recomended by someone else OR
- Jar'Thol knows him as one other the Old Vashti helped and he worked for her

Shaddar takes the role of stealthy scout and mobile combatant (not frontliner)

 

[Dr Simon]

Neurotic: new name is okay with me.

As for his acquaintance with Jar'Thol, they may have met before but I was thinking of something along these lines: there's only a small number of salsham'ai in Cormondal. Salsham'ai tend to get to help out their own kind. Jar'Thol may be aware of Mystal and, seeing him for an adventuring type, put him forward as a competent replacement when Jar'Thol has to depart to tend to some important family business.
