Faster Paced PbP Campaign interest check

[Raineh Daze]

Only one question left before I finish off the mechanical stuff (picking maneuvers, skills, and working out total mecha stats):

Is the 'extra physical ability on level up' benefit from Exemplar Specimen retroactive?

AKA, if I get it at level six, do I get the extra from level 4?

[oslecamo]

No. You would start gaining it at 8 HD at best.

[Raineh Daze]

Okay, complete aside from one feat and working out the mecha's full stats.

Probably taking a relationship feat, but I'm waiting for all the characters first. XD

Hybrid Body: At 1st level an Anthropomorphic animal  loses all racial bonuses it had and gains monstrous humanoid traits(basically darkvision 60 foot) and has a base speed 40 ft. An Anthropomorphic animal is a medium or small(player's choice) bipedal creature and has two arms capable of fine manipulation. Also choose one of the class's saves. That save becomes of good progression. Fortitude

Aspect-wise it resembles a crossover between an human and one or more animal, the details of which are left to the player to specify depending on the choices it takes from now on.

Regardless, an Anthropomorphic animal has a natural armor bonus equal to its Con bonus.

What Has Magic Done?: At 1st and 2nd level the Anthropomorphic animal may select two of the following bonus.  Unless otherwise noticed no ability from this list may be picked more than once.

(click to show/hide)

Fast: the AA gains +10 speed to all its move speeds, plus an extra 5 feet for every 4 HD it has, and gains Dodge as a bonus feat, except you don't need to pick a specific opponent, your dodge bonus applies against all attacks unless you're denied your Dex bonus to AC.

Pounce:When an AA charges it may perform a full attack.

Enduring: choose one of the AA's base saves. That save gains good progression. Reflex

Ferocity: the AA can keep fighting while disabled or dying without penalty, and only dies when it reaches negative HP equal to 1/4 its normal HP or -10, whichever is more advantageous.

Animal Prowess: At 1st level the AA gains +1 to two physical ability scores of it's choice. For every other level on this class it gains an extra +1 to the chosen scores, for a total bonus of +6 at 6th level. Strength and Constitution

Animal Skill: Choose one physical skill. The AA gains a bonus on that skill equal to it's HD. Alternatively, choose two physical skills, and the AA gains a bonus on those skills equal to 1/2 it's HD.

Animal Power: At 3rd and 4th level select one of the following options. Alternatively select three more from the "What has Magic done?" option.

(click to show/hide)

Fly (demands 4HD): the AA can now fly with average maneuverability at its base speed.

Size change:if the AA was medium it now becomes large. If it was small it becomes tiny.

Faster(demands Fast):the AA gains an extra +20 foot to all its speeds, plus an extra 5 feet for every 4 HD it has. This stacks with fast. The AA also gains  Mobility as bonus feats even if it doesn't meet the prerequisites, and gains a +4 bonus on to-hit rolls with attacks of oportunity.

Superior: The AA gains an extra +2 to one of it's physical scores. Constitution

Animal Apotheosis: At 5th and 6th level select one of the following bonus. Alternatively pick two from Animal Power or six more from "What Has Magic Done?"

(click to show/hide)

Air Superiority (demands fly speed):the AA's maneuverability increases by two steps.

Exemplar Specimen(demands superior):the AA gains an extra +2 bonus to its superior physical score and +2 to another physical score. Constitution and Strength

In addition whenever it gains a natural score increase (every 4 HD), it gains an additional +1 to a physical ability score of its choice.

Size Change(demands large or tiny size): if the AA was large it now becomes huge and gains the trample ability as per the SRD. If it was tiny it now becomes diminutive but gains a 5 foot reach with all its natural weapons.

If the AA become huge and then multiclasses into fighter or monk it can count AA levels as fighter levels for qualifying for fighter-only feats and special abilities(so an huge AA 5/fighter 1 could pick dungeon crasher) and for calculating monk unarmed damage, unarmored speed bonus, flurry of blows attack bonus, unarmed damage, and any monk abilities based on Wis may be based on Con instead, including Stunning Fist.

If the AA became diminutive and then multiclasses into a class with precision damage (like sneak attack or sudden strike), it can count its AA levels as levels of that class for calculating how much precision damage dice it inflicts. Cannot count as more than one class this way, so if you take both rogue and ninja levels, AA levels count only as either rogue or ninja levels, your choice,

Fastest (demands Faster): the AA gains an extra +30 to all its speeds, plus an extra 5 feet for every 2 HD it has. It also gains Spring attack as a bonus feat even if it doesn't meet the prerequisites.  If the AA has pounce as well, it may full attack with Spring Attack.

Titanic Body: If the Titanic creature was smaller than medium, it grows to medium sized. It also gains a bonus to Nat armor equal to its Con bonus. If it already had a better Nat armor, increase it by 1 instead.

Bigger is Better: At each level of Titanic creature, it can pick one of the following options. You can only pick each once unless noticed otherwise

(click to show/hide)

Growth-The Titanic Creature grows one size category. You need at least 4 HD to pick this option and can gain it multiple times, but you need  at least 4 HD for each extra size increase (8 HD to pick twice, 12 HD to pick thrice, etc). Refer to the FAQ if this would make you grow beyond colossal size. You also gain a cumulative +1 Nat armor each time you pick this. x2

Ability Score Increase: The Titanic Creature gains +1 Str and +1 Con at each level, for a total of +13 Str and +13 Con at  13th level.

Size Matters: Starting at 2nd, the Titanic Creature picks one of the following options at each level. Unless otherwise noticed, each can only be picked one time and used once every 1d4 rounds, as the titanic creature recover its balance. Alternatively pick another from Bigger is Better.

(click to show/hide)

This Isn't Even My Final Form-You gain Deceivingly Innocent Form as a bonus feat. If you already had it, you can now use it as a move or swift action every 1d4 rounds and gain Monster Lord as a bonus feat.  You must still satisfy the other feat requirements. If you already had Monster Lord, then you can pick a shape for each size category between your original size and your current “maximum” size. Besides size, your abilities remain the same between each other form, except you always count as your greater size as per the Monster Lord feat and you can now change as an immediate action every 1d4 rounds. In addition each time you use this ability in an encounter, you gain a cumulative +1 to AC, saves, attack rolls and weapon damage rolls, as long as you don't change back to a form you had already used in that encounter. Those bonus end when the encounter is over. You can pick this option up to three times in order to gain the two feats if you didn't have them already and then the final bonus one.

Body of Legend: Unlike other monster classes, the creature's original racial traits are retained.  The Monster of Legend gains Outsider traits, if it did not already have them, with the augmented subtype if necessary.  Their native plane is the plane where they were born.

Legendary Might: The Monster of Legend has gone trough a lot, and this reflects on it's body. It may have any number of cosmetic changes or even special effects like body parts made of energy, as long as his original race is still recognizable. Those changes grant no mechanical benefit.

If they still weren't, the Monster of Legend's attacks count as it's own alignment for bypassing defenses. It's melee attacks can strike incorporeal opponents without trouble, and ignore half the DR of any target they strike. If the Monster of Legend already had any of those abilities, then it gains +1 to attack and damage rolls for every overlap.

Finally, a Monster of Legend is immune to polymorphing effects against its own will.

Legendary Skill:  Choose one of the following:
-Fast Healing equal to 1/2 the creature's HD. If the creature already had Fast Healing, increase it by 2 instead.
-Immunity to Mind-affecting
-Permanent Spell Turning effect, except that it reflects one spell level for 2 HD of the Monster of Legend, and automatically recharges at the start of the Monster of Legend's turn.

Alternately, pick two of the following (you can't pick the same option twice unless noticed otherwise):
-Immunity to one of the following:  acid, electricity, fire, cold, poison. Can be taken multiple times, each one choosing a diferent immunity.
-DR/material, with the material being iron, silver or adamantium, equal to 1/2 the Creature's HD.  If a Creature already has DR from other sources, increase it by +2.
-SR equal to 11+HD.  If a Creature already has SR from other sources, increase it by +4.
-Permanent See Invisibility. At 14 HD also works  as permanent True Seeing.
-Wings, allowing it to fly at twice its base land speed at average maneuverability.  If the creature already has wings, it grows an additional, matching pair, giving them additional flight speed of +5 feet per HD and one step of increased maneuverability

Legendary Prowess: At 1st and 2nd level, the Monster of Legend gains +1 to an ability score of it's choice. Strength

Saga: at second level, pick a second option from Legendary skill, and an option from below.

(click to show/hide)

Gifted for War-You may initiate maneuvers as a martial adept whose Level is equal to your Hit Dice. Pick one martial discipline and choose 4 maneuvers, none of which can be of a level higher than 1/2 your HD, and you must pick at least one strike, one boost and one counter. You may initiate each of them only once per encounter, and after you used them all you automatically recover them at the start of your next turn. You cannot however recover them trough other classes recovery means. Whenever you level up, you can swap those maneuvers for new ones you qualify for, but they must be of the same school, and you must end up with still at least one strike, one boost and one counter.

Should the creature take levels in a martial class, it may elect to have its Creature of Legend and Monster class levels grant full IL for that class only.

Super Robot: The super pilot comes in possession of a powerful mecha by fate or luck (the details of which should be discussed with the DM), which, at 1st level grants him access to a basic super robot. If the super robot is reduced to 0 HP the Super Pilot will have to undergo some redeeming quest to make it rises again from it's wrecks.

The super robot grows in power together with the super pilot as he gains levels. More details on the Super Robot chart.

Maneuvers: The Super Pilot learns maneuvers and Stances from the Burning Justice and Into the Danger Zone schools as shown on the table. To learn a maneuver of a given level, he must have a Pilot Level of the maneuver level, less one.  His Pilot level is equal to his Super Pilot level plus half of his other levels.

Your personal super robot automatically knows all maneuvers and stances you do. If you're piloting another person's super robot (either burrowed or stolen), you can use any maneuvers that super robot knows without you knowing them yourself, but you use the super robot's level instead of your own level for the purposes of those maneuvers.

Favored Maneuver: At 1st level, pick one of your known maneuvers. That maneuver has a pilot level of 1 higher than normal whenever you use it. At 6th level and every 6 levels thereafter, you gain another favored maneuver, and increases the bonus to your existing favored maneuvers by 1.

You may change your favored maneuvers whenever you gain another level in Super Pilot.

Spirited:Each level of Super Pilot increases the maximum number of spirit points of the character by 8. In addition the character learns one spirit, and whenever "Spirit" appears on the table he learns one more.

Spirits can be used as a free action at the beginning of your turn by paying their cost in spirit points (before you take any other action). A super pilot needs to meditate for 5 minutes to recover your spirit points. You can use multiple spirits in a turn, but only once each kind of spirit. Spirits that trigger in a condition, such as valor and alert, last 1 minute and are lost if not triggered by the end of the duration.

Bonus Feat:Whenever this ability shows up, the Super Pilot gains a feat from the list of pilot feats.

Arsenal: At 3rd level, the super robot gains some kind of patronage which supplies an array of basic swappable weapons and accessories to further customize his mecha, although not as good as those of a Real Pilot. He may only choose weapons of up to the level indicated on the Super Pilot table (I at level 4, II at level 7, ect). Those weapons can be reloaded and/or swapped whenever the patronage entity is contacted. Refer to the Arsenal list for details.

Read the intro fluff at the start of the thread. From there, yes, make a regular D&D character like for your usual adventuring campaign.

Altough I must point out the other two current players are a medium-sized dragon and a divine sentient chunk of rock, while Raineh Daze is making a winged humanoid good outsider that is not an angel. So the party itself will be more exotic than your average band of humanoid adventurers.

I'll definitely give it a look and try to make a quick decision. On these forums I'm used to "odd" races being in the parties.

-Raineh Daze
-Soro
-Ninja
-Ketaro
-Nytemare3701
-Harald

Hmm, yes, does sound like a bit full. If you're still interested however keep up an eye on this thread to check if someone drops during recruitment.

While the possibilities sound cool, my preference still lies with Medieval Fantasy for D&D. I'll keep an eye on it though, might even give me time to think of things and come up with something heh. Jumping into a genre you're not used to playing can take some time to fully get around head around it.

[ketaro]

Now that I had time to have a closer look everything looks fine. Go ahead and do the gear and backstory!

Woo, awesome ^^

Edit: Well I finished my gear and dropped a blurb in the Personality box. Honestly though, I'm rather stumped on what to do for backstory...

[ShadowViper]

For the Fire Emblem campaign, will the characters still be the leaders of the kingdom?

At this point I'm not sure if I'll join, I'm in quite a few 3.5 campaigns already, and one of those campaigns is mixing things from different worlds/genres. If it was Pathfinder I'd be more interested in it,  And not even sure what type of character I'd make for the campaign. If it was say Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, etc, it'd be easier for me to come up an idea/get inspired. I think I may just be getting too hung up on the joining of Nintendo worlds.

What's that picture meant to be?

And why have you taken Improved TWF and Greater TWF when you have Mystic Dream?

[ketaro]

What's that picture meant to be?

And why have you taken Improved TWF and Greater TWF when you have Mystic Dream?

I just like to have an idea of what my character looks like, especially when I wouldn't quite know how to begin to describe what she might look like with the Nano Armor active >>
Prolly not wholly accurate but close enough that I liked it.

And did I miss something about Mystic Dream that says it counts as all 3 of the TWF feats instead of just the first? I guess I should double check that. I thought all it did was count as normal TWF and also fill as a prereq for TWF feats 

Edit: Well dang, Mystic Dream does give me the iterative attacks that I would normall need Improved TWF & Greater TWF to get....
Guess I got 2 feats to re-pick xD

[Raineh Daze]

The requirement for Mystic Dream is staying in an Ancient Temple stance, though.

More, 'please link a larger version of the picture' than 'why have a picture'. XD

Oh, you can right click it and click "View Image" to see it full sized.

Yeah, I'd have to be in an AT Stance. Guess its fine, I only have 1 stance that isn't Ancient Temple.

Damn! I take the weekend off the internet and I lose an opportunity like this!
Or is there still room? 

[oslecamo]

Damn! I take the weekend off the internet and I lose an opportunity like this!
Or is there still room? 

There's currently 5 players making characters. There's room for 1 more.

For the Fire Emblem campaign, will the characters still be the leaders of the kingdom?

Pretty much. The "official" ruler and all of the other main headfigures of the state went missing, so the  party has to take up reigns of the kingdom.

At this point I'm not sure if I'll join, I'm in quite a few 3.5 campaigns already, and one of those campaigns is mixing things from different worlds/genres. If it was Pathfinder I'd be more interested in it,  And not even sure what type of character I'd make for the campaign. If it was say Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, etc, it'd be easier for me to come up an idea/get inspired. I think I may just be getting too hung up on the joining of Nintendo worlds.

To be honest, I'm not really into any of the "big" D&D campaign settings. I'm running the City of the Spider Queen based mostly on what it's on the module itself, tried some Eberron campaigns but just couldn't get into it, barely know anything about Greyhawk, just had some glances at Dragonlance. Most of my D&D experience has always been custom settings.

Which reminds me, earlier on I forgot to mention this extra Fire Emblem camapaign fluff I wrote for that campaign, may help you get inspired.

[Raineh Daze]

So, is there anything I need to fix in the above thing?

How do I go about working out my mecha's exact combat stats? (For a start, how many attacks does it get?)

And finally... how do I fluff a half human, half raven living nuclear reactor super pilot for this? XD

EDIT: Also, that link is broken.

EDIT: Also, that link is broken.

Don't have time for a full sheet check-up right now, but attacks work as regular attacks with manufactured weapons for a regular character. One attack normally, iteratives with a single weapon, you can attempt to attack with all your stuff in a full attack but then you take penalties as usual. Grab multiweapon fighting and friends or stick to a single weapon.

Fixed link.

[Raineh Daze]

So what do extra basic weapons do?

[SorO_Lost]

As my understanding goes...
You start with two "built-in" type weapons.
They are melee weapons and deal 1d6+StrMod with a Crit of 20/x2.

* The "Main" Upgrade increases one of these by Size and change the Str gain to +1.5 (as if THF). You can take "Main" twice more to improve Crit Range & Multiplier to a maximum of 19/x3.
* The "Extra" Upgrade adds an additional built-in (see above). At level 12 you can have 3 of these for a total of five attacks.
* The "Hyperdimensional storage" Upgrade adds 25 Arsenal points. At level 12 you can have 3 of these for a total of +75 on top of your base 50 (spellcasters have no base arsenal).
* Arsenal is capped at level 3, or (III) weapons. I make a joke about my Built-Ins wielding guns and oslecamo's only counter point would be that I'd have to own the guns. The Charka Caster has the highest damage, +3d6+Str (via Power), costs 30 Arsenal.
* Refined Armament(I) costs 5 Arsenal points and increases the damage of one of your weapons by +3.
* The Mighty Upgrade lets you Power Attack using Energy, Main weapons are doubled.

Massive Offensive Advice
Take Extra x3, Main x1, Mighty x13, Mysterious Power x2. Targeting x13, Hyperdimensional Storage x2. Costs 36 Upgrade points of the 48 points you have. Assuming you buy those Charka Casters you'll have:
Main Weapon +13Mod Ranged (4d6+Str+26) & 4 Built-Ins +13Mod Ranged (3d6+Str+13).
Costs 23 Energy but you regenerate +24 per round and draw off a 120 Energy Pool. So while honestly in short fights you don't even need that second Mysterious Power, taking it lets you freely bombard your opponents every single round.

You'll have 12 Upgrade points and 25 Arsenal points left. I'd pick up armor but if you want full Glass Cannon then pick up Refined Aramentx5 out of your Arsenal points and Progressive Edge x5. Leaves you with 2 Upgrade points left but now your weapons ignore 1/2 their DR. Which is kind of important, my mech is stated for pure defense and even with the 3/5 scale on base stats I have over 20 DR which is enough to negate most of the above damage if it lacks Rending.

***

@oslecamo can I get an ok on Easy Metamagic? It's Dragon Mag and does the same thing as RotD's Practice Metamagic, -1 Meta costs.

[Raineh Daze]

If there is one thing I don't need, it's ranged weapons. Pretty much supersonic flight should cover 'ranged' pretty well.

... also, I just wanted to know how attacks work, I don't want to be instructed in what I 'should' be taking, based on some non-existent reasoning that I should be using ranged weaponry. Basically deciding whether I ought to change the 'Extra' options to something else based on melee penalties as if TWF. Also, if I want ranged attacks, I've got plenty of maneuvers for that (including the non-mecha, ever-so-cheery 'toss a miniature sun at them'). :/

I am reminded that I forgot to pick stuff from Arsenal, though.

At 2nd level a mercane cannot be attacked by other creatures unless they succeed on a Will save (DC = 10 + half your HD + your Cha modifier), which renders them immune to this effect for 1 round. If the mercane deliberately causes harm to a creature then this effect is suppressed for 24 hours (though he is still free to order other creatures to attack for him). This otherwise functions as a sanctuary spell with a caster level equal to your ranks in Profession (merchant) (minimum 1), except that its effective spell level is half your HD. Other mercanes take a -4 racial penalty on saves against this effect

At 2nd level a mercane gains access to a small chest on a pocket demiplane connected to the Ethereal Plane, capable of holding up to 1 cubic foot of matter per HD. He may summon the chest to his position as a standard action, or banish it back to the Ethereal Plane with another standard action; however, the chest cannot be transported in either direction if it contains creatures. Unlike the Leomund's secret chest spell, a mercane never risks losing his chest. If the chest is separated from the mercane for more than 1 hour, it returns to its demiplane (unless it contains creatures, in which case it returns after they leave).

Powerful Build

Quick Escape: Use Invisibility (swift action casting time, hr/lv duration) and Dimension Door as SLAs 4/day, 2 uses of Dimension Door to use Teleport or Plane Shift

Spell Resistance: HD+15 (27)

Telepathy: 5ft/HD (60ft) range

At 5th level, a mercane carries more items around with him than he can keep track of. He can "buy" any item (magical or otherwise) at double the normal price as a free action, regardless of his current location, effectively having bought it retroactively. If he is capable of crafting items then he may also craft as a free action by doubling the cost. Such an item appears in his pack or Secret Chest, after which it can be retrieved and used as normal. He may not use this ability to gain access to artefacts or other items which cannot normally be bought.
Note that the mercane is not capable of selling items as part of this transaction, meaning he must have enough raw currency to pay for the item.

Growth: Traded for +1 dex

Rapid Retrieval: At 5th level a mercane can transport an item to or from his Secret Chest as a move action, without transporting the chest itself. He is still not capable of transporting creatures with this function.

Gifted for War: You may iniate maneuvers as a martial adept whose Level is equal to your Hit Dice. Pick one martial discipline and choose 4 maneuvers, none of which can be of a level higher than 1/2 your HD, and you must pick at least one strike, one boost and one counter. You may initiate each of them only once per encounter, and after you used them all you automatically recover them at the start of your next turn. You cannot however recover them trough other classes recovery means. Whenever you level up, you can swap those maneuvers for new ones you qualify for, but they must be of the same school, and you must end up with still at least one strike, one boost and one counter.

Should the creature take levels in a martial class, it may elect to have its Creature of Legend and Monster class levels grant full IL for that class only.
