Title: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 21, 2012, 09:36:31 AM
(http://i39.tinypic.com/bdr335.png) (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?board=80.0)

So I think we're set on a semi-sandbox (at least to start), which means I need good background writeups for you guys.  Post drafts in here (plus whatever questions and discussion) so we can work on them.

We'll probably start the game before all the PW's nodes are done, right? So, since you were talking a bit of freedom about retraining and all, I'll probably go full Holomancer for now, and then later on I'll switch to a build more like the exemple I posted in the other thread. Is that fine?

If you'd like to do that, it's fine... but there's a bunch of stuff to do before we start, and the PW nodes are at the top of the list.  (I'm working on Beastlands right now, in fact.)  So if you'd like to run with the PW build then that's fine too.

Just wondering, since I don't know when we'll start. But yeah, I'll go mostly with PW when it's ready.

I added some Lifetorn feats and another DivHead feat, for anyone who's interested.

Those look awesome, and are definitely going to give me something to think about.

Also, majorly jealous of the divhead in our group. Very Ghost in the Shell, awesome!

(http://www.gamestracker.com/images/emoticons/embarrassed-o.gif) I guess I'll have to watch a bit of that series then.  To be honest I intended to play him kinda like a fixer from the game Anarchy Online, but there are a lot of different options available I guess.

Edit:  It's pretty cool so far.  I might be able to make a fitting PrC or two based on the show.

I'll be working on Unique's backstory soon. My question is what level of detail would you like, and focused where? Do you want us to help construct and describe the various Domes? Establish population diversity and economic standards? Also, how detailed to you want it?

Also, just thought. Do you want the backgrounds here or in the character sheet thread?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 23, 2012, 03:02:28 PM
Lol.  I'd say go ahead and flesh out as much or as little as you like -- I can always add more.  :)  And if something doesn't fit with my vision, we'll discuss and edit.

As much as this is my setting, I work best in collaboration with others, which is why I'm trying to get as much input as possible.

I think that's pretty cool! Possibly a neurotoxin that gives you psychic powers, and keeps giving your PSP's... and KEEPS giving you PSP's until... well...

And becoming a Lifetorn is one of the few ways to abate the toxin.

@Flay:  :clap  I think North is pretty good, though you could also go with Volta (which is basically one giant suburb).  I'm glad you like the DivHead and Mechanosynth!  Hopefully the Psykin/Repo Dog combo keeps you sufficiently entertained ;)

@littha: Excellent stuff.  Yes, it's dark, but there are plot hooks galore!  Love it.  How about this:  You spent your time with a wandering group of mechanosynths called the Odd Jobs.  They don't care what you look like as long as your goal is to become more metallic.

Perfect. I try to write characters with a load of plot hooks, I DM a lot and it really annoys me when people give me characters that you cant do anything with.

By the way, Flay, I just wanted to point out that if your company is based out of Evernight (and it can be if you want), it's definitely not a reputable company.  More legit would be Volta, Sylvatium, or maybe Jarrash.  Just letting you know.  :)
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming

Oh no, they're a merc company that's best clients are criminals. Like any decent organization though, they maintain a flimsy cover with occasional shit jobs. Not that anyone is fooled in the slightest. If anyone's played starcraft 2 (heh, "if anyone"), I'm thinking of at least one of the characters in his group being the zombie equivalent of Tychus Findlay. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAHAUJQ8qGQ) And since someone's cast list rocks, I feel tempted to post one myself, in which case said character will be played by Jason Statham.  :cool

It could very easily turn out that his brother Roy winds up being sent after him at some point, if you get bored or run out of sub-plots. :D I was trying to incorporate a sort of Bulger/Connolly relationship thing, where one's on each side of the legal scale, but they like and tolerate one another until one goes too far.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Sneaky_Sable on January 25, 2012, 10:58:35 AM
Jason's too small to play Tychus. Now, Ron Perlman (UGLIEST MAN IN HOLLYWOOD) can do it, I think. Jason's more a Raynor kind of build.

(Now all we need is to get Michael Ironsides older, to play the role of Mengsk, get Cuba Gooding Jr. to play the General, and keep Angelina Jolie naked to play Kerrigan, and we have the Starcraft movie.)

Post by: Jackinthegreen on January 26, 2012, 05:36:15 PM
I'm having some issues deciding what I want in all honesty.  The "Agent" archetype keeps going through my head, and to get the usual stats with that would require large investments in DivHead, Dodger, and Synthevolver.  Coming up with something functional along those lines at level 4 is proving a bit difficult.  I'm probably just too focused on the little things to get the big things done though.

:derp

:derp

What are you having trouble with?  What parts of the Agent archetype come from each class (I'm not sure exactly the definition you're working with)?  Is this something that needs a synergizing prestige class?  If it's a cyberpunk staple then it may.

Synthevolver (Mechanosynth technically) would grant at-will invisibility plus stuff like Memory Module.  Divhead is for hacking of course, and Dodger for trapfinding (more like bomb-finding and disabling), versatility, sneak attack, and martial weapon proficiency.  And lots of skill points.

Basically it's the character who is stealthy, perceptive, good at hacking, and proficient with more powerful weapons.  Such characters in cyberpunk are typically augmented through machinery.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 26, 2012, 06:19:45 PM
Hmm... yes needs a PrC.  How about something like a dodger/divhead PrC that advances sneak attack a little, divhead class features/spellcasting a little, and gives a few stage I Mechanosynth evolves?  Hell, I can even call it the Agent.  Thoughts?



In other news, I added two more Dodger feats, and the first set of regional feats.  There will be more, so if you don't see one you like that fits then don't worry.  You get a regional feat for free.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Jackinthegreen on January 26, 2012, 06:30:29 PM
To quote Quagmire: Giggity!

More specifically though: Since Dodger gets SA every three levels, an Agent would probably get it every 4. 2, 6, and 10 perhaps?  In keeping with some official PrC's, those might be the levels that don't progress casting.  Make those the ones that grant evolves too?

One other thing is it should allow a Dodger to become lawful but still retain class features.  Agents quite often work for the law after all, even if they're technically outside it.

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on January 28, 2012, 05:53:36 PM
Okay, a quick glance at it makes me want to start with this one: Holomancer 6/Dodger 4/Shadow 10 (Holomancer 3/Dodger 3 /Holomancer +1/Shadow 10/Holomancer +2/Dodger +1).

I definitely want to make a Planeswalker PC though, but I'm not sure what to do with it as of now since it's still a huge WIP.. :-\ I'm sad panda.

edit: added emphasis.

Hey Shiki, if that's your plan, we should talk; My first charrie's brother is an agent-type character. Might be the brother and your shadow would know each other.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on January 28, 2012, 06:22:54 PM
I guess we can work out something like that, yes. I haven't had the time to thinker a background as of yet so I'd be happy to read your thoughts on this. I've had much mental strain as of late so I can't seem to figure out where to start.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 28, 2012, 06:40:30 PM
With some collaboration we should be able to finish up the outer planar nodes relatively soon.  I think the inner and transitive planes will in general be much easier... but I'll keep chipping away at it as quick as I can, and as soon as it's finished enough for your taste you can whip up a PW.  :) 

Honestly, we have half the outer nodes finished (along with Shadow and Ethereal), so if you see 5 you like you could roll with those and then retcon different ones later if nodes happen that you like better.

But if you want to just start with the Shadow that's fine too.  :)

Hey Flay, are you going to make the brother as a second PC?  An Agent?  Because that would be pretty awesome.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Flay Crimsonwind on January 28, 2012, 07:43:57 PM
It would be; there's barely a chance that the two would be in groups on the same side of the law! One might have to hunt the other! :love

I'm gonna polish up a single scene that covers both of their back stories and motivations sometime this weekend. Expect ripping of quotes from excellent sci-fi.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on January 28, 2012, 07:47:04 PM
As much as I do want to make a PW, I just can't bring myself to use something which is not complete. I mean, as of now everything in Magipunk isn't complete per se since it all needs to go through testing phase, but you know what I mean. Regardless, I'll thinker something up soon after the outer track is complete, no doubt.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 28, 2012, 08:20:41 PM
Holy crap I just realized I've been miscounting how many outer nodes I have left.  It's only 5!  Whew.  I mean, I have a lot of other nodes to do (i.e., inners & transitives), but I thought I was operating at just over 50%.   Outers should be done quick, I'm going to stop trying to go alphabetical order and just do ones that inspire me.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on January 28, 2012, 09:48:40 PM
^I would have started that way to be honest. :p


I just found out that I'm bad at calculating BAB; my quick draft above only reach +14 and I kinda want +16. I do want to keep Shadow 10 though... Hmm.. Rapscallion regional feat can make up for the sneak attack part, Holomancer 4, Full BAB 3, Shadow 10, Lens Mage 3... Any ideas, anyone?

Edit: I'm thinking about making those Full BAB 3 levels Domeskipper; it gives everything I need plus some extra things, and that 1st level Falling Star stance looks sweet when used with Coherent Light (it does work with it, does it?).. Plus it has some exotic flavor to it.

Would this be an acceptable setup? If so, I'll make the sheet plus background/description (still considering your ideas btw, Flay) in the next days hopefully.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: AyeGill on January 29, 2012, 04:05:28 AM
Flay, since both our characters hail from the frozen wastes of North, might be they were acquaintances of old? Perhaps they worked together on cleaning up the wilds(though obviously Jack would have to have left before the "accident")
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 29, 2012, 07:30:30 AM
Yes that stance works with CoLite.

Nans, I'm willing to allow Great Fortitude in place of Endurance as the prereq for Steadfast Determination for your char.

EDIT: I meant Iron Will, so there's no overlap.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Nanshork on January 29, 2012, 01:55:07 PM
I'll put that in my notes for possible feats.  So far I want to take:
 - Iron Will
    - Steadfast Determination
 - Cold Iron Tracery
 - Silver Tracery
 - Enduring Morph
 - Extra Morph
 - Skilled Morphling

Since I only get three more feats I'm going to have to narrow that down just a little, heh.

This is entirely possible. The job that "killed" Ash probably wasn't his first job, so the possibility of him working up to that one with you is high. Or depending on your backstory, might be they were just from the same neighborhood; I'll give yours a read through when I get back from this appointment.

I just noticed you can't get into Lens Mage without taking at least 8 levels of Holomancer, unless Extra InvocationCAr works like I think it could but I doubt it, so this scraps my 2nd shadow draft and my virtual being/lens mage idea. :-\
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 29, 2012, 04:47:14 PM
Oh hey, I didn't notice that before.... You're talking about the fact that you'd get greater invocations but not greater essences (since Shadow doesn't give you more essences), correct? So it's a question of whether having greater non-essence invocations allows you to grab lesser essences with Extra Invocation?

If that's the question, the answer is "yes it does".  Essences are still invocations, you just don't get them with Shadow because you're getting two pseudo-essences in the Chilling and Shadow Spike (and essences/sculpts have been decoupled from normal invocations).  But the feat is fine for entry.

I'll put that in my notes for possible feats.  So far I want to take:
 - Iron Will
    - Steadfast Determination
 - Cold Iron Tracery
 - Silver Tracery
 - Enduring Morph
 - Extra Morph
 - Skilled Morphling

Since I only get three more feats I'm going to have to narrow that down just a little, heh.

Skilled morphling won't be too useful without Extra Morph, because you just won't have the points to roll with the higher-level morphs yet.  I'd definitely get Extra Morph.

Are cold iron tracery and silver tracery actually worth feat slots?

Well... what's nice is they apply to all your natural weapons and not just your warforged slam... but I don't really know -- since I don't have a real set plot, I can't tell you definitively whether you'll be facing a lot of stuff that require one or the other.

Probably not, at least at this point.  DR/material is less common at lower levels anyway.

Post by: Sneaky_Sable on January 30, 2012, 09:37:21 AM
Buy a weapon with the Metalline quality (+2 Cost) and attach it as your armblade. Save yourself a billion feats by having the weapon shift to whatever metal you want. Costly, but so are feats.

Metalline can be found in the Forgotten Realms book "Underdark", around page 69.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on January 30, 2012, 09:43:29 AM
Or just enchant the slam with it.  :)  But with the feat, any and all morph/transformation natural weapons would have the quality.

Sable, are you making a 2nd char?

No it won't. It's an alternative to having to take all those feats to be able to murder any creature by touching it.

EDIT: I just realized you're playing a Morphling, rather then a Mechanosynth, so an Armblade would be moot.

1) Do you have to pick up the different knowledges separately like before with the Scolarship skill?
2) How does Keen Intellect (Dr#318) looks with the change made to the skills?

Some more then others, but it's all useful. The beehive is a joke, though since honey never spoils it's a stable food source. Also, throw it at mages who are casting spells. Good luck making thirty concentration checks.

Hey Nans (and everyone, but Nans especially), don't get all your equipment finalized just yet.  I just had a brainstorm for some Morphling-specific items, and I think it's only fair that I do the same for other classes.

Post by: Shiki on February 06, 2012, 09:46:11 PM
Plain PW and even more so PW into PP seems so feat starved (and further so if not an half-elf, ah). I feel as if there's not alot of room for char customization outside of nodes. Flaws help a bit somewhat, though with those feats' requirements.. Hmm.

Is the Binder a bit like that? I haven't really looked all that much into it, but it does get bonus feats which may mitigate similar concerns as above.. or not :???
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 06, 2012, 10:27:04 PM
Well, with Binder there are one or two essential feats, and then the rest are meh.  You could take them, or not.  You need two feats to get into PP unless you're a half-elf, where you need one.  What else do you feel is absolutely essential?

I don't really know what straight binders get, I almost always went binder --> anima mage or as a 1-lvl dip for Naberius.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on February 06, 2012, 11:08:50 PM
Well I dunno, I've never touched Binder before, and haven't read a diary or resume of someone playing straight Binder or something like that. But looking at the various things they get plus the feats in ToM, it's true that they don't have alot of cool things to play with outside of the tons of vestiges.

As a Planeswalker though, I feel as if Skilled Attunement is a no-brainer like Natural Spell is for a Druid, even though they are completely different. Extra Node is fun for cherry picking cool nodes not on your track as straight PW, and it is required for Planar Pioneer. If you're not a half-elf you need to take it twice to enter, plus Deactivate Node. Integrated Nodes and Fast Recharge are all kinds of awesome, and Metanode can be quite useful like Deactivate Node though less versatile.

I dunno, it feels pretty clogged even with flaws. Am I overlooking/overthinking things?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 06, 2012, 11:40:55 PM
I forgot about the deactivate node requirement.  I had some dead levels in PW, so I added bonus planeswalker feats at 6th, 11th, and 16th.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on February 07, 2012, 12:05:08 AM
I think this class needs a few dead levels even though they are boring, since its chassis is strong, though in the end it all depends on what's possible to do with the various nodes and whatnot. Still, there is 3 more (3rd, 13th, and 18th), so it's fine I guess.

Just trying to warn him. Seriously, they land on you, touch attack to sting you, and if you're allergic, then it's Fort save or die. +2 to the DC since they're masterwork. :)

I was actually seriously thinking about ghost ward armor, and the only thing that stopped me is that it only applies the enhancement bonus to your touch ac.  I'll go put that on my armor now, thanks.   :)

You know that you also get the enhancement to your regular AC, right?  I can't tell from your statement.

Touch AC is not easy to boost, and anything that helps raise it is good.  Protection from Ray of Enfeeblement, Enervation, Coherent Light, etc.

I know, but given that it's probably going to be +1 for awhile it isn't that much of a concern.

Given the amount of times at the game table that someone misses by (or hits by) 1, +1 can potentially be huge.

Don't knock it just because it isn't +1,000

OK, now that the Outer Planar nodes are done, I can finish the Inner and Transitive ones as we go.  What needs to be finished on my end before people are ready to start?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on February 09, 2012, 05:06:06 PM
Yay! Thanks. :D

I'd be even happier if the Astral node would be also done, since 5th level looks not too far away ahead. And you know how I like to plan things up...

Would that be fine?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 09, 2012, 05:07:32 PM
Yes, absolutely.  That one was next in any case... I think I have all 3 ability trees planned for it, so it's a go tonight or tomorrow.

EDIT: If you're going PP, you need an Inner Node as well... I have several ideas, so I'll get on those as well since you're likely to take one at 6th level.  Basically when you take the feat you choose between what's available, and then if another comes along you would have taken, you can change.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Sneaky_Sable on February 09, 2012, 05:23:25 PM
Speaking purely for Biosynth, I think everything that can be done prior to game start has been done. We won't really know what's going to need to be done until one of us breaks the world.

Post by: Nanshork on February 09, 2012, 06:36:09 PM
...I just came across an amazingly wonderful combination and I want to run it past you percival to make sure that you're okay with how it works out.

If I put the Aptitude quality on my Transmorph Collar than any Improved Natural Attack/Savagery/whatever feat that I take will apply to every natural weapon I create as long as I can pay the morph cost for the collar.  Are you okay with this?

Morphling totally needs some bonus feats.   :P

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 10, 2012, 07:33:32 AM
Doubtful.  They are there for out-of-combat utility -- 13 rounds isn't gonna help much more in combat, since they usually won't last that long.

Just saw the Astral node; it looks great, although those Spirit spells from MoI lose on a bit of punch since a PW can't power 'em up 'cause of the lack of essentia. Also, where's the Hero's Blade spell from?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 11, 2012, 04:13:56 PM
ECS 112.

Yeah, the lack of essentia hurts, but I couldn't find good spells to replace them with.  Maybe I'll have it grant a little bit of essentia, too... I dunno.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on February 11, 2012, 04:35:22 PM
Oh, thanks.

For those spells, maybe have them scale with your level (MoI 19) as if you invested essentia into it?

Yes, because I wanted Speak With Dead in there, and Guardian Spirit is also 3rd level.

So we're going to start with two parties, one in Evernight and one in North.

Current Assignments: (pending updated backgrounds)
~Evernight Crew -- Unique, Ash, Shiki's Shadow, Ravage, Shadowhunter's Medic
~North Crew -- Jack Cumberland, Lilly, Shiki's PW, Radon Ens

Did I miss anyone?  Does anyone seem out of place? Don't worry if your background doesn't put you directly in the starting area, we'll get you there.

@Flay, are you going to play Roy as well, or just Ash?  If +Roy, then we'll add him to the North crew.

@Jackinthegreen, I put Radon in North assuming he's heading for Agent; if he's going to be more of the rogue hacker type, we can possibly switch him into Evernight.

Post by: Jackinthegreen on February 12, 2012, 04:05:36 PM
I've been procrastinating a bit with this, but I'll get back to you in the next couple days.  My original thought was he'd start as rogue hacker with a bit of a merchant background, and then becomes an agent for the greater good.

You mean, specific details that I want you to include?  Not really, other than that you have one ;)

Here's some information for you, though, that you may use or not at your pleasure:

A lot of morphlings work at the Evernight Coliseum, which is essentially WWF + the movie Gladiator (think kind of like Best of the Best II if you ever saw that).  Their job is to satisfy and entertain the bloodthirsty paying customers.  The training ground for this is in Jarrash... many morphlings and some synthevolvers from poor families go there because they have no choice, and most of them end up getting torn apart by the more experienced fighters (or, of course, the ferocious beasts caught by the Coliseum's crack team of Domeskippers).
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming

percy, I've rearranged my character sheet to make things easier for both of us.  I now have an extra section of stats just for when I'm morphing and my immunities, etc. are easier to find.

Switched to myth-weavers. Still all in wip..

IA, PW: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=369640 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=369640)
Cecilia, will-be Shadow: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=369783 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=369783)

I'd be really happy if anyone could suggest anything for these two, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything lately.

You haven't done very much with IA, so I'm not sure what guidance to give you -- you can bring that one in a little later if you need more time.

For Cecilia, you could look at Versatile Dodger for your last feat slot, since you're taking very few Dodger levels it could give you a little more bang for your versatility buck.  You could also grab Shiny, and slightly debuff while you shoot.  :) It also sets you up for Super Shiny, which is like a Holomancer's Boomerang Daze.

I'm a bit puzzled with IA's nodes selection, hence the lack of everything else. I'll certainly look more into it when I'll have the time.

Wouldn't the bonus granted by Versatility by such few levels of Dodger be underwhelming though? Since you apply the bonus only to one skill? I was considering Super Shiny, but not Shiny. How does Shiny set me up for SS, though? Is it supposed to be in its prerequisites? If so, it's missing.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 13, 2012, 12:01:37 PM
Yes, Shiny is supposed to be in the prereqs, I'll fix that.  If you're going to be taking 3 levels of dodger, then Versatile Dodger will give you +6 to something (+2 at level 1), and a bonus greater than +1 can be split up however you want.

Feels like a wasted feat slot on this character, hmm. I guess I can do something like this for now:

Tank/Damage, High Con with Armbolt. Character sheet is still a bit bare, basics are in but I want to make sure we are done with new material before I commit to what I have. Most likley strait Mecanosynth 20 but was looking at a 3 level Repo Dog dip or Holomancer into Aurasynth Knight.

Oh right, should probably POST my char sheets.  :D

I'll post the revised background sometime this week, once midterms are over with. Sheets should be done save for some money I need to slap away. Just out of curiosity, any ETA for the oracle? Or is it going to be slightly higher level stuff than we should expect to deal with yet?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 13, 2012, 05:45:01 PM
Hmm, I forgot about them.  I'll post a couple ASAP, but think of them like computers in terms of price point.

We're getting another player, a friend of mine IRL (username DevianID).  He hasn't entirely decided what to play yet, but he's leaning towards straight Dodger.

EDIT: I just looked over everyone's character again... they look so great and exactly what I was hoping for :)

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 13, 2012, 09:39:32 PM
I would say the best one for God-Wizarding is probably Pandemonium or Outlands... but a lot of it is more cleric-style buffing & melee.  And that you can do with almost any of them, depending on the flavor you want.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on February 13, 2012, 10:48:14 PM
What about these: Acheron, Arcadia, Baator, Outlands, and Pandemonium?

Planning on getting Astral @5, Shadow @9, and Negative for after I get Threnody to rock Baator's natural weapons with Negative's Craven Touch and something else as a base.

With Outlands, even though you get the crafting feats you do need someone else to give you access to the spell, right? I guess some may be managed through summons SLA.. lol.

edit: Maybe not those two.. or only one of those? Hmm.. What else...
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 14, 2012, 08:56:16 AM
Well, you can use your SLAs, so you just have to find ones to pair up.  :)

EDIT: I like Arcadia, it's very party-centric.  Note that you need to get Negative (or some other Inner, I'm still working on them) to qualify for PP.

Well, by far the most common PC classes that you find are Medics, followed by DivHeads and Magitechnicians, and then a ways down are Holomancers, and Synthevolvers of various types.  So yes, PW are definitely on the rare side.

Here's a little snippet to get you started... I don't want to write the whole thing for you (it's your character) ;)

The Beginning

Activate. 

"Look, with all due respect, this isn't the kind of... thing... we're looking for.  I mean, it's a warforged."

Lights come on, illuminating a rough wooden desk.  Behind it sits a large man in sleeveless rough leather, showing the miniaturized armor beneath.  His arms are a solid network of scar tissue, and he looks dubious.

A voice comes from behind: "Mr... Druck, is it?  This particular warforged has certain... unusual capabilities.  I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised."

The man in front clears his throat and speaks again: "Yeah, but... I mean... the customers are looking for blood and guts."

From behind: "That won't be a problem -- Ravage will produce plenty.  Ravage?  Why don't you show the man what you can do."

Morph.

Claws and jaws sprout from the hands, fins from legs.  Spikes grow from a new tail.  A rumbling metallic growl fills the room, and the man in front looks impressed.

"Alrighty then... let's talk payment."

The basic background for Radon is he's a fixer.  He gets people what they want, even if it's a bit illegal, but he does what he can to make sure the clients don't use them for evil intentions.  If he finds out they will be used as such after acquiring the item, he usually poofs off the grid and sells the item to a trader he trusts.

He's originally from Volta (and will have the Industrious feat once I fully update my sheet), but has found a profitable venture in the North.  Or Evernight, since that might attract a bit more business.  Either one is fine.

I am angling for him to turn Agent though.  His contacts with traders and the underground in general would lend itself well to gathering intelligence.

Quick question: I'm questioning how well the City Slicker flaw would work in this setting.  The domes are mostly cities after all, and it doesn't make sense that a penalty would apply to Nature Lore within or concerning something from a metropolitan area.

I've updated Radon's sheet.  If anything is off, just let me know.

percival, look at Ravage's background and tell me if there's anything you'd like fleshed out more.  It's not amazing, but it is complete.   :)
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 22, 2012, 06:02:06 PM
No, that's just fine.  :)

EDIT: Just saw your edit, Jack.  Do you mean, can you take City Slicker?  Or are you questioning whether it's appropriate for anyone to take it?

Also, sheet and background look great!  I think you should probably write Industrious down with the rest of your feats, though ;)
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Jackinthegreen on February 22, 2012, 10:49:32 PM
Oops on the Industrious bit...  Added.

I'm questioning whether the flaw should apply to the checks when used about the city itself.  For instance, a Knowledge: Nature check can be used to know the general weather of the area, and that applies to an urban environment as much as a rural or wild one.  Survival would help to keep from getting lost, whether that be in a city or in the woods it seems.  The flaw seems a bit, well, flawed.  I've decided against taking it myself since a hit to Nature Lore would be rather painful even if it only applied to out in the woods.  Plus roleplaying Fussy will be rather amusing.

I think I've found a slight oddity within the condensed skill rules...  5 ranks in Knowledge: Architecture and Engineering gives a +2 bonus on Search checks to find secret doors and the like.  You've rolled that use of Search into Engineering along with Knowledge: A&E.  Did you want to get rid of that since it's a self-synergy, leave it at +2 just for the appropriate Search checks, or would it turn into a +2 for the skill itself?

Concentration has a similar issue.  5 ranks in Concentration gives a +2 on Autohypnosis, and both have been rolled into the same skill.  Nix the bonus, apply it only to the appropriate checks, or just give a +2 for the helluvit?

One thing I was wondering as to the skill system, why are Negotiation and Persuasion different skills?
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on February 27, 2012, 10:13:17 PM
I originally had negotiation include Sense Motive, but then I realized that that was a Perception thing so I moved it.

Here's a question: do you think the new rules for Diplomacy aka Negotiation make the Bluff portion of Persuasion irrelevant?  I don't... I think you can use Persuasion to adjust the relationship and risk/reward scales for the Negotiation DC.

Thoughts?

Each city has its own laws and police force, which have differing levels of strictness and competency.  North is relatively laid back, because of the solidarity of the civilization vs environment mentality that exists... but the laid-back-ness is more a matter of extreme practicality and no-nonsense tolerance than laziness.

So if I were to walk in and say I found a dead body, it's right here outside, would they do the reasonable thing and arrest me(leading to prison escape segments), or just be like "Cool, we'll check it out"

And would the second option completely kill that plot hook?

They would probably use Discern Lies on you (asking you to allow it, i.e. auto-fail save), take a statement, and then proceed accordingly.  If you refuse the D.L., you're guilty.  :)

I think a ranking system of how strict / lax and how pure / corrupt the law is in each dome may go a long way. Something as simple as a 1-10 scale in each, where a 10 in Strict may mean that folks at the scene are taking in for questioning immediately, while a lower rank may indicate that the police would simply take a statement at the scene and contact the interviewee if they need further info.

The 1-10 scale could also indicate if it's just Discern Lies being cast. Maybe at higher levels, the interviewer has a gauntlet with a persistent Zone of Truth or something.

It also means that you get to use a lot of the more creative people on these forums to help you, essentially, write the world out. Folks who can stat out Gestalt Barbarian Druids of hyper obscure races mixing both homebrew variations of base classes and prestige classes invented by players can certainly handle a little free-form writing and creative design :) :)

However, the oversubscription has to do with (a) the amount of PbP's I'm running which all need updating at the same time, and (b) RL stuff that I also have to do concurrently.  I always feel bad when I've let updating PbP's slide for a couple days.

I want to trade out Iron Will and Steadfast Determination for Improved Natural Attack (Slam) and Multiattack.  Given the Transmoph Collar of Aptitude and the fact that Ravage would normally be popping out multiple natural attacks it just makes more sense.  I got so worried about shoring up his abysmal will save I forgot about making him actually good at what he is supposed to do.   :facepalm

"Roof Access" is actually the nickname of the massive Morphling who works on the top floor who turns into a giant beetle monster.

"Fire Escape" is the name of the Powerbard Band that rocks out at Decibel every second Thursday.

Oh you want some guitars, eh?

- Electric Guitar: A simple yet elegant instrument of Powerbards everywhere.
Deals 1d8 Bludgeoning damage, plus 1d4 Electrical damage. Two handed weapon, crits on a 20, x3 damage. Requires 5 Ranks of Perform to use. Otherwise, you are at -2 to attack and damage rolls for the Guitar.

- Axe of the Demon: A wicked bass that is warm to the touch, with one side of the body of the guitar sharpened to resemble a battleaxe. Only a Demon would willingly use this guitar!
Deals 2d6 damage, your choice of Bludgeoning or Slashing, plus 1d8 Fire damage. Two handed weapon, crits on a 20, x2 damage. Requires 10 Ranks of Perform to use. Otherwise, you take 1d4 Fire damage per attack.

- Ivory Gibson: A brilliant white Gibson model guitar. Though it has no holes, or defects of any kind, an odd violet smoke mists about it from time to time.
Deals 1d8 Bludgeoning damage, Two handed weapon, crits on a 20, x3 damage. A successful attack forces a Fort Save (DC 10 + Damage) to avoid being dazed for one round. Requires 12 Ranks of Perform to use. Otherwise, you must make a similar Fort Save each time you attack. In the event of a miss, the DC for you is 15.


Edit: Remembered that Simmons played the Bass, and also adjusted so Guitars do less damage, but have a x3 multiplier CAUSE EVERYONE REMEMBERS THE GUITARIST but Bass does more damage with less Crit multiplier because THE BASS MAKES YOU MOVE!

Lifetorn are undead. What provided MOAR POWAH to the dead? Spellstiching.

Granted, it would run me something like 50,000 GP, and at that point a bunch of spell slots for building the Army of Darknesstm isn't a big deal. And besides, what in game use does an Army of Darknesstm have at that point? Open a Mueseum with animated skeletons?

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: sirpercival on April 30, 2012, 09:36:00 PM
It requires a number of 20th-level magitechnicians (around 10-20, depending on how large a dome you want), and at least a year.  That's for building the dome itself; you also need an army of people to keep those magitechnicians safe while they're crafting.  Then there's clearing out the monsters in (and under) the dome, and then building all the infrastructure inside it (buildings, Port Nexus terminals, etc.).  There's also expanding the Port Nexus itself to accommodate an additional destination.  (It's a little cheaper if you don't connect it to the Port Nexus, but it's also much more difficult to get anywhere.)

It's a big operation.

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Sneaky_Sable on June 25, 2012, 10:28:09 AM
Charisma works by being confident and determined. Your faith in yourself and the strength of your character bolsters you and your allies around you. Through your confidence, others follow in your steps.

Intelligence works by being educated and smart. As opposed to street smarts or pure wisdom, Intelligence is a direct measure of how much you have learned, as opposed to how much you know.


That's how Cha / Int works :) :) :)
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming

Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Sneaky_Sable on June 25, 2012, 10:55:08 AM
Oh, then it's definitely the Darkwing Duck / Brainy Smurf clause.

Darkwing Duck is incredibly charismatic, and uses Charisma for his streetwise. He can spout on an on about how much he knows (Whether he knows it or not) and spout out useless knowledge until he stumbles upon the place he needs to be.

Negaduck: Ahhh, Darkwing. You found the crumb. I KNEW YOU'D MISS THE ENORMOUS FLAG!!


Brainy Smurf, on the other hand, is a certifiable genius. And he tells this to everyone, and cites exact facts and reasons, with annotations and references... which is damn impressive in a spoken sense. The crowd, tired of his uncharismatic depiction of events, hurls him through the air... landing him someplace where he may not want to be, but NEEDS to be.

Will do.  And no, it works like this:  you use Cha for the normal info-gathering, and Int for info-gathering with the Oracle and just knowing things.  I know it's essentially two skills there, but the Knowledge: Local stuff just makes no sense thematically with Scholarship (which is where it was before).

Post by: Garryl on July 06, 2012, 12:52:26 PM
In short, I'm suggesting the following (and for some reason, Sirp is paying attention to me):

1) Instead of +2 natural armor, Lifetorn get a bonus Lifetorn feat (which can be used for +2 natural armor anyways).
2) Latent Memories lets you qualify for things as a member of your "original" race.
3) Lifetorn as a template (instead of a race) that removes anything and everything (even that) from your original race. Probably more effort than it's worth, so don't worry about it.
4) (the hidden suggestion) Lifetorn feats should be a bit more balanced with regular feats and each other. Particularly Latent Memories.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Flay Crimsonwind on July 06, 2012, 11:53:57 PM
I agree that making it a template is more work than it's worth. As far as a feat v +2 to AC..... well, I suppose if it's just from Lifetorn feats, that's fine, as it makes sure they can all be more flavored individually. Not really important one way or another; not like they're supposed to be individually special. They're supposed to be subhuman zombie things, so I'd say it's really just a personal choice. And I don't know about altering feats for lifetorn, but of course a greater variety is always amazing (just not sure what you'd do to expand that list sensibly...).

Alright.  I'm going to implement #1 and #2, and not #3.  Any suggestions for #4?

Hey littha, what do you want to do about the fact that Shiki is AWOL?  I can just have her still be tied up there, and Lilly could get bored and move on without her... or you can wait to see if she comes back, if you want.

I might call the "bomb" a "blowtorch", since it's technically reusable.  Other than that, Wrench looks good.

The lab assistant needs routines to be assigned (you get 5 at the moment); also, why Bastard Sword instead of, like, Vibro Sword or Vibro Claymore?  Or an energy melee weapon since that only requires a touch attack?  Is it just that they're expensive and you can't build them yet?

That works, I'm pretty sure, assuming that I understand the new UMD rules, that it's impossible for me to make the DC check to reuse it. (DC 25-4(character level)=21>d20)

Where are the routines? I couldn't find them on the magitechnican page, unless they are just animal tricks. And yeah, I planned on making a vibro claymore for him when I level up. Figured if I had to, I'd disassemble and reassemble him to change to feat.

I meant their physical form. Does the spell itself manifest into shape, do do I put it in something? If i put it in something, what restrictions are there?

Probably because I don't understand the crafting rules correctly.

There's an issue with that.

A medium-sized one costs 2400gp.  A large one costs 4800gp because large weapons cost twice as much per the SRD here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#cost).

Ravage doesn't have anything to contribute really.  If it helps WtL has also stopped updating.

My guess is Flay is expecting Perce to post, and Perce is expecting Flay to post.  AyeGill hasn't been on since July 11th apparently.

Yeah, this might just take some time. In TEC, we're just at a lull because the bad thing hasn't happened yet. I..... don't really see what I can do. I'll post something though, see if we can't spur the group into action!

In WTL, I'm just waiting on detect magic, but the party has been split and I don't know off the top of my head what's up with the other side.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Jackinthegreen on September 01, 2012, 04:10:02 AM
The party?  If you're talking about AyeGill's character Jack, note that AyeGill hasn't been on since July 11th according to his profile.  Chances are he's gone.

If you're talking about everyone else in WTL I imagine we'll be brought together within the next few pages.

Heyo!

So, I decided that I didn't really like Phreggyd, so I scrapped that idea, and am in the process of making Mervyn, a Lifetorn Healer (still for WTL).  LMK if anyone has any suggestions.


EDIT: Mervyn is done except for Equipment and Combat Stats.

If you're posting so other player see it and might be prodded into posting then I hope it works too.

I gave Flay a poke for WTL.  Haven't looked at TEC personally so I can't say much.  If I really feel confident I might try adding another character since we've lost a few players on the way.

Radon got a likewise agitated look.  "Greysen you say?  Give me a moment to look up some things."

(click to show/hide)
I'm operating under the impression that they are separate kinds of rolls; so if I were gathering info, I'd have +7 (no cha bonus), but for the know check I'd rely on my int score (+3).  i could have used personal uplink though (didnt think to put my versatility bonus there at the beginning of the day, unfortunately...), but that would require me sleeping enough between work shifts to remember I have it... -_-
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Jackinthegreen on December 11, 2012, 08:34:05 PM
The way I understand it is you take your ranks in the skill then apply the ability modifier for the situation.  Thus, if you're doing Gather Info and chatting some people up it's based off Charisma.  If it's recalling knowledge, then it's Intelligence.  The thing is, you only did your Int mod and didn't add Roy's ranks in Streetwise (Gather Info on the sheet.  Guessing you didn't update it with the skill change?) to the check.

Perce, when you say that the drug appears to affect the portion of the brain that is hooked up to the patients' permanent uplinks, do you mean the spot where an uplink would be implanted?  Did the girl, boy, and changeling all have DivHead levels, or do you mean it simply affects the part of the brain where an uplink would be added?

And that sounds...glamorous.
Lol.  It would be as a freelancer -- someone he keeps in his toolbox for emergencies.

If that's cool wit you, I'll write your intro.

EDIT: And for you DivHeads, I want to split the Permanent Uplink off into a distinct entity so that non-DivHeads can get one.  It would then be given for free at level 1 DH.  I just can't decide if it should be a feat or a graft/warforged component.  Thoughts?

I'd say feat, personally, since you have a destroyed uplink down in the class as being fixable with Greater Restoration/Miracle/Wish.

And yep, I'm fine with that.

I agree that a feat might make sense. Gives off the whole image of some old folk's who didnt have it in their time not knowing how these kids can be uploading all day, and how back in their day they had to charge a CELL PHONE to talk and share media. Destruction of society, these uplinks are....

I'm still quite interested in all the classes my characters were/would have been although I could welcome something different, so I don't know if I would go with my original idea of Virtual Being or try out the Crystal Mage. I'm somewhat confused with how Geodes and Geodes Retrieved work though, so I dunno..

Think of what Clerics would be if, instead of preparing individual spells, they prepared (retrieved) entire domains (geodes) and then spontaneously cast from the spells within them. That's the basic gist of it, except that since Crystal Mage is built on the Wizard paradigm, you can also learn more of them spell by spell, so there's a lot of extra text there about learning spells and geode and what happens if you only know part of the spells of a geode.

Oh okay, put up like that and after giving the mechanics another read I understand it now. Thank you Garryl.

edit: Meh, I can't decide between those two ideas... Hey actually, I know these don't resemble what I'm about to show but do anyone know if it could be possible to create a character that would look like Kat from Gravity Rush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q-p-41_V4Y) with stuff from Magipunk? I figure Psycat isn't too bad of a start.

Another alternative is Dodger + Zen Fundamentalist, swapping Event Horizon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205790) for Coin's Edge.

That discipline looks so awesome I definitely want to do that. Can I? I feel like going straight Zen Fundamentalist since the most interesting maneuvers are from higher levels. Subjective Gravity.. Altered Trajectory..  :love

edit: Although, the maneuvers recovery mechanics confuses me a tad bit.

Spend a move action, then roll a d6 to randomly select one of your ability scores. You recover a number of maneuvers of your choice equal to that ability modifier. The rest is just the standard boilerplate that Warblade and Swordsage have about not both using and recovering a maneuver in the same round.
Title: Re: OOC & Brainstorming
Post by: Shiki on March 31, 2013, 02:46:34 PM
I don't know how I read that at first; I thought you rolled a d6 and recovered maneuvers from the discipline which are associated with the ability score you rolled. So in actuality, the number of maneuvers you recover (which can be from any discipline) is variable depending on your ability scores' modifiers.

Sorry, sometimes I just fail at reading. :-\

Okay, I have come to realize that I have too many ideas and I should stick to one and see what comes of it for once. What I have in mind is to simply make a few changes to Cecilia plus spend her WBL and continue playing with her because I like her and being a Sneak is something I always enjoyed. Would that be fine?

So they want to spy on me? Alright, I'll run a few more searches.

For Black Lily porn.

Possible outcomes: They decide I'm 12 and this is a false alarm, they're too disgusted to keep monitoring me, they get angry and overplay their hand...worst case scenario, nothing comes up and nothing changes.

Just in case, a few rolls:

(http://www.minmaxboards.com/Themes/Thing/images/dice_warn.gif) This dice roll has been tampered with!
Streetwise 1d20+13 : 18 + 13, total 31
Hack 1d20+13 : 20 + 13, total 33

I want it noted... for the record... that if you rolled a 34 while searching the Oracle for porn, I think I would have crowned you King of the Internet.

Some of you may have noticed I've been off the site for about a week or so. I'm having a number of home issues that are keeping me offline and keeping my free time down. I'm going to try and post every third day or so, but it my take a while longer in between posts.

Just wanted to let you all know, and as for the dm, if this becomes an issue for the game, I fully understand your removing me from it. Apologies in advance for any issues or delays this might cause.
