Fuck it, we'll just do 32 PB.

Anyway, So far we have:


1) Calibron, the Fiendish Brute Dwarf of anger.

2) JE, the person who isn't playing in this game, but feels like posting in my thread anyway, just because he thinks he might run a WLD with other people who aren't posting in this thread.

3) Koumei the (?) Wizard of pulling things out the ass.

4) Uber the interested.

So...?

Go ahead and submit characters or whatever. Since no one else appears interested, I will go ahead and start it with three if we can.

I have a friend who might be joining in May, but if everyone else can be good, I'm okay with starting this Wednesday/Thursday.

Time wise, I'm open all that time, Calibron is open all that time. Koumei is... open all that time? and Uber is?

For possessions I added food and clothes and then rolled on the random treasure table since my charater was sent here as a random monster. I don't really know how WLD works but I assume I'll never actually be able to turn that ridiculously expensive crown into anything worth while; if I'm mistaken I'll go ahead and drop it from the sheet.

As for why the name is undefined I figured he wouldn't know his name to start with, and the rest of the party would have to pick something to call him until he remembered his real name; at which point the party wouldn't really be under any obligation to start calling him by his real name anyway. I'm personally partial to Chompy as temporary name, but I'll leave that up to you guys.

Error. You need to tell me which subtype you gain by Infernal Dalliance, and by extension, what abilities you gain from that.

Baazetu, it's also on the character sheet now. I don't get the Devil traits though, do I? That's seems a little crazy.

Yes you do. You get 100ft Telepathy, See In Darkness, and Fire Immunity.

Yeah, you get the Deviled traits as well.
[edit]Ninja'd!
I was thinking of joining in if there's still a slot.

All I've been able to come up with is a worg"riding dog" mounted goblin knight. Feats would be Mounted Combat (bonus from both knight and goblin) and Point Blank Shot; throw in Subtle Cut if he gets a replacement for the duplicated MC. Background would be Apprenticed or Royalty of a Fallen Nation, depending on the setting.

I'm trying to this fits in with the rest of the party, but it looks pretty eclectic already.

Uber, Sorcerer spells per day + full BAB + class features is way stretching it. I'm trying to not have to upgrade monsters much.

It is tentatively approved, but I'm going to be a real bitch when it comes to Spells and Mounts. Especially Mounts, because I fucking Hate Leadership and you know it, so a class with free Leadership added on to being a Gestalt of Cleric and Paladin is not my favorite thing ever.

And are you sure you can work with a Crazy Demon (or two) and whatever else is there?

Carthaz, I would strongly discourage mounted play, because I hate Leadership and your mount will die, probably often.

1) I find combat mounts incredibly irritating as well. The mount class feature, we can pretty freely drop to the SRD warhorse and I honestly won't care. Maybe something with wings. Whatever.

As for the spells, the list has almost NO offensive or CC spells. Attune sphere/domain caps at three, so I can't actually hack it too far to be a true offensive caster. But the class is a very good 'tanky' class without having a whole lot of offensive punch.

Edit: Oh, and yeah I can work with demons. My PC was given a quest in a dream. He's going to try to convert them to good actions by leading by example instead of preaching.

Except the whole Cleric Archer thing where it has all the good Cleric Archer spells + Full BAB + the ability to quicken all it's spells.

But yeah, like I said, approved for now, but I will be a bitch about Attune Domain stuff, and what you can Attune, because the spell list is already fucking good.

I hope that "leading by example" features a lot of murdering things and taking it's stuff, because otherwise, you and I are going to have problems.

Viel was born not in an elf city made of trees, but in a small fortress atop a mountain, constantly besieged by manticores. Unfortunately, her parents thought being killed by them would be totally rad, and it was fortunate that all the small children were lowered down a tunnel before the final siege. Landsharks encountered the child, and for whatever reason they didn't eat her. Instead, they raised her as a pup of their own.

Some years ahead, Viel has grown, and finally been told to seek out her destiny - but to take care, wash behind her very long ears, and remember to come back and visit some day. She was already developing "the gift", so although they couldn't teach her magic, they pointed her in the right direction.

Although city life taught Viel how to speak with humans and elves, and how to develop the gift into actual magic, it still didn't feel right for her. And so, born to roam, she set out into the wild...

Well, there appears to be no shortage of facestabbing, and a definite shortage of BC/knowledges, so I say Wizard is probably preferred.

I'm busy like a motherbitch this week, but if you need a substitute/are rolling next week I'd love to take another swing at this. Since you need smarts, I'd be down with playing your/Catharz's errataed Conduit, or a Gadgeteer, or a Mana Alchemist, whatever works best for you.

I'd honestly be happier with a wizard in the party. Wizards can do a lot of sweet shit and swashbucklers more or less fall under the same "kills shit by shanking in the face" role as a fiendish brute does.

The wizard is more mechanically necessary, but the swashbuckler seems like she has a more fun personality and backstory.

You were actually just tricked by free will debates and landsharks.

If you put free will and land sharks in the first one, it's just as fun a personality and backstory.

Free Will and Landsharks make everything better. That said, I'll go with the Wizard, and hope that the face stabbers stop my five HP from vanishing in two seconds.

Color Spray. Sleep.

Later on, Solid Fog + Black Tentacles, or things like Sickening Cloud.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I know I'm good to go, there, but put it this way: it doesn't take a critical hit to deal 15 damage at level 1. A high damage roll, sure, but not necessarily critical.

Also, should I change her background to be raised by Landsharks? It's not like apprenticeship does anything if you're in one big dungeon for the whole campaign, after all. That way it can have the hilarity of LANDSHARK. I'd lose a lot of languages there for dealing with monsters we could possibly communicate with to avoid combat some of the time, but on the other hand, gaining the ability to talk with Magical Beasts is a pretty cool trick, and could also turn the occasional "SEA CAT ATTACKS" into "You have a discussion with the Sea Cat and trade valuable information re: food. It turns out it made you a cookie... but eated it."

Because while I'm expecting many encounters here to be "Stab in face, take belongings in a sack", having a few talky-talky things would be nice as well. Even flat-out assuming the Diplomancy rules can eat a bowl of dicks.

So, times are wednesday and thursday.

Uber, when can you play on wednesday?

And as for everyone who hasn't made a character yet:

Carthaz/Dominicus/Mask, I could totally add another game that starts next week or on thursdays or whatever.

Good then. Since all other roles seem to be covered I'll be making an assassin.

Would you allow a custom race? Here is what I had in mind:

Ratmen
A short-lived race of ratlike inventors that once lived below the earth. Since then many of them have made their homes in cities where they serve as mechanics, crafters or theives.

-2 Str
+2 Dex
+2 Int
-2 Cha
Low Light Vision
+4 vrs disiese
Cowardly: Ratmen recieve a -2 penalty against fear effects and to resist being intimidated.
Masterful adaptation: A ratmen character can select two skills. These skills now work off Intelligence instead of their original atribute. Once selected, this choice can only be changed after a full year of dedicated training.
Favored Class: Gadgeteer

Dropped my climb ranks for some languages that might give us some more options with the non KoS encounters. Seems appropriate for my character to be able to communicate with the other monsters.
