Dungeonomicon Monk is what I'll be trying out.

Are we still going to be policemen or has Kaelik changed the setting?

RelentlessImp · Post by **RelentlessImp** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 9:50 am

The GUARDS setting is dead as it's way too damn silly. It's basically made for one-shots. Just make characters, give me some hooks, and I'll put together a campaign that makes at least a little sense.

Since this looks like it's actually going to get going, I should probably mention that the last time I used IRC was probably more than a decade ago, so any suggestions for a (free) client would be helpful.

Also, Kaelik, was it your intention that the FoV's various undead-creating abilities be used to create as many undead as you have corpses, or just one of each type? Given what I know about you I have a hard time believing you'd write an ability that gave you a legion of dudes, but stranger things have happened and as far as I can see the only time it's specified is with the Vampire Squad.

Kaelik · Post by **Kaelik** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:38 am

Yeah, all of those are supposed to be one of each.

My friend would like to use a sorcerer class of his own design, and asked me to pass it along to you. Let me know the verdict and I'll pass it along.

I've got my character close-ish to completion, might need to run feats or backgrounds by, but other than that, it's pretty standard stuff. ....where standard means "evil god-hating subrace of human pokemaster"...

Edit: Oh, I should make sure you're cool with me using Product of Infernal Dalliance as my vasharan bonus vile feat. Not that it matters because Vash. are seriously just humans with a restriction...

Mechanically complete character

Fenrisulfr · Post by **Fenrisulfr** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 6:44 am

Any objections to my using this halfling subrace from the Wiki?

RelentlessImp · Post by **RelentlessImp** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 5:14 pm

Brightmind Halfling is fine.
Product of Infernal Dalliance is fine as a bonus vile feat.
The Sorcerer alternate is fine.

I think I might have to shoot down the Pokemaster; it's a lot of bookkeeping from what I can see. But right now, it's fine.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:22 am

What's the bookkeeping on Pokemaster that's worrying you? As far as I can tell it's just a stable of characters that I have to keep track of and advance as appropriate.

RelentlessImp · Post by **RelentlessImp** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:53 pm

Pretty much that. I'm willing to allow it for now but if the bookkeeping gets out of control on me (doublechecking and remembering them) then it may require a new character.

It'll be another week before we get ready to start. Sick this week. Hopefully won't be for long.

Another FoV question: is the Lifesense ability as the Wraith ability, or as the Libris Mortis feat? If the former, is its range 60 ft, as with the Wraith, or 120 ft to match up with Deathsense?

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:48 pm

Would being a PoID be enough outsider mojo to grab Pseudoelemental Being? Looking at being the product of dream dalliance by a shadow fiend thing...

Kaelik · Post by **Kaelik** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:20 pm

The feat, 120ft.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 12:37 am

More or less mechanically complete character here too. Pending on decision regarding Psuedomental Being.

Would also like some kind of DM decision on the CR modifier of giving something basic or advanced access to a sphere. Half Fiend/Celestial/whatever gives somewhat better than basic access to a sphere, plus a few things (DR, SR, et al.), so basic sphere should be less of a modification than that, maybe Advanced Access modifies CR like such a template would, and Basic isn't a big deal? I ask because it's an easy way to make a normal animal/vermin into a pokemon.

RelentlessImp · Post by **RelentlessImp** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:35 am

Basic: +1
Advanced: +2
Expert: +2 (the difference in an encounter between "3/day" and "at-will" isn't that extreme)

Psuedo-Elemental Being: Sure.

I don't know the pokemonster stuff. But the difference between at will and 3/day is like infinitely important for out of combat stuff, which basically covers like 4-5 spheres. At will Planar Binding is actually super fucking +40CR.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:58 am

Really? +1 CR for basic? That's a larger modifier than half fiend et al, for less actual power.

No it's not you fucking idiot. Half Fiend is +1 for 4HD, +2 for 5-10HD. It's a smaller increase than Half Fiend, and it's fucking impossible for +1 to be a greater increase. You have 6HD monsters. Why the fuck do you think at level 3 you should be casting 3 or more 3rd level spells a day. Suck a dick and die.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:48 am

actually, most of the stuff I'd be adding sphere access to is 1-3 HD, and if I increased the HD, it would have advanced access, giving it a +1 CR, and making it flat not controllable. So my choice would basically be:
-3 or less HD creature with a few once/day spell likes
-4-6 HD otherwise normal creature
-4-6 HD creature with 3/day spell likes I can't control without Handle Animal, that I've basically just given flamethrowers and lightning guns.

er, clearly I'm assuming a HD dependant cr modifier, like the cited templates.

Since all the cool kids are doing it, here's my (more or less) mechanically complete character sheet.

Ziegnod · Post by **Ziegnod** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:20 am

Hello all I haven't posted here before but I've been using all of the awesome materials you guys have created for about a year now in the campaigns I DM for.
I've even made some of my own just never really posted it before. I moved a few months ago and was wondering if you still have any space in your game, as I have been going through withdrawals from gaming.
My schedule is mostly clear as I work part-time for now. I have a few characters ready to go, I play any classes, but stick mostly to whimsical rogues or assassins.
If you wouldn't mind me joining the game ill post up my character sheets.

EDIT: Figured I'd throw up a character anyway Grigori Ironfist

Red Archon · Post by **Red Archon** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:55 am

If you guys are still open for business, I'd like to ask to join as well. I've just lost my job and will be available nearly all the time, the next pause I have is around 12.-15.9. If there are roles you'd really need someone to take up, I can play pretty much anything. Right now a bullshit anima mage seems like my ideal choice, but I'm all ears.

If you're willling to have me, that is.

EDIT: Whipped this together. Samatara

As far as IRC clients go, Instantbird is working for me so far and its free

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:08 am

What time are we looking at on Wednesdays? I was given a shift this Wednesday and kinda need to take what I can get right now, but should be able to keep Wednesdays clear in the future, if need be, but I'm just wondering what time, as I didn't see one in my quick skim of page one.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:53 am

So, what's going on with this?
