The Romance of the River Kingdoms
- Thread starter Dr Simon
- Start date
Currently active:
Annika, an eagle nai nek chai (shapechanger) fire sorceress
Mystal Mar, Salsham'ai swordsage
Growling Ape, ape nai nek chai druid
Still with us/alive: Shakou, a tiger nai nek chai rogue.
You could easily either take Shakou over, or make a whole new character. The style of game is such that it'd be easy to introduce a new character. As long as you have business with the Vashti, boom, done.
As for Shakou, her player left fairly quickly, so her character is still pretty open to interpretation. I don't think she was ever even converted to Pathfinder, so you'd still be able to basically remake her as you saw fit.
Hee hee...we do have kind of a "zoo" party though, don't we? All are animal/human shapechangers, except for the 'treefolk' who is also kind of monkeyish.
Addendum - Dr Simon, when we shift to Pathfinder, do you want us to redo our attributes according to a Pathfinder point buy?
Also! Annika will be more than happy to attempt to ID the items.
She doesn't have the Identify spell, but she can try Spellcraft checks.
Finally...how does Grace/health work again? Right now I have 24 health and 12 grace, but I'm not sure how I arrived at those figures.

I'm also interested in this one! (Hey, ahayford!)

Dr. Simon, would you be averse to my playing an Ura Oracle (Metal Mystery)? Character creation says Base Classes by discussion.

Mowgli, no problem at all. I've just been looking at the Oracle class and I think it looks cool; also, no-one has played an ura yet so that will be interesting.
Shayuri, I'm not averse to more nai-nek-chai, as such, just that it would be good to see how some of the other races work in practise. I actually think the "zoo" is kinda cool (reminds me of Monkey/Journey to the West) in that the characters are all "outsiders" who are actually all working to help a community that probably fears them a bit.
Regarding PF builds, when we first converted the old characters across I think we just kept the original stats; also the ability scores for the Conclave races are balanced as 3.5 races, rather than the net +2 ability score gain as PF. I'm happy to allow some rebuilding, might need to consider which scores to increase for the Conclave races.
Grace/Health - Grace hp are those from character class HD and represent bumps, spent energy, etc. Health comes from Constitution and the +1 per level, and is actual damage.

In looking at the character creation post, I've come across a few things that may need clarification.
Spell Weaving might need a slight revamp, as in Pathfinder you get unlimited zero level spells. Using the weaving as written, that would result in unlimited first level spells (as well as unlimited spells of other levels if I'm reading it correctly).
You mentioned in that post that you had started out using the Grace system but found it too cumbersome. I haven't read through the rest of the thread, did you reverse that decision somewhere, or are the rules in the first post the most up to date?
Hit Point Rolls (Rolled one too many - count the first 4 rolls).

I remember that, too. And I updated my character (including making a new 'spirit domain' the last level up.
