I'm thinking of playing a harrowed. Thoughts?

Naturalist
Sniper
Raveler (might not fit the setting)
Astronomer

Sniper is Ranged DPS/BFC. The other three are more utility.

At this point, I don't have a strong preference between these 4. Thoughts?
Expect to be indoors alot, so maybe not naturalist. Astronomer's got [sheltered] conjunction, so that's still work.
Indoors? Or underground? B/c there's an Underground variant that I could use for Naturalist if that were the case.

Sniper probably isn't a good idea if we're gonna be in tight spaces all the time (also, it seems like we're not gonna be short on damage).

Looks fine; which stunts are you planning on?

I was thinking Redirect Attack, Combat Slide, Iron Jaw, and either Opportunistic or Dirty Trick.

Indoors. Not exclusively, but often.

I'm in favor.

I specifically held off since I'm in the other game. Seems you may have enough players now, though.  :)

Hmm...

Well, I think my first choice would have been Naturalist, but since it seems like it won't fit the setting (nor will any of the other 3 original choices, for various reasons), here are two more options, based on a perceived need for non-melee characters:
EDIT: Are homebrew races required, desirable, or indifferent?

I like Wizard w/Fighter better, but it's more of a replacement rule than a new class. Either one's fine, though.

Cool. I think I'll do WizFightMech, then.

As for this, his race is going to depend on what build I do, feat-wise. Here's a question for the group. What's gonna fit best with what other people are doing?
  • An Illusion (Image) build, as a Fox (from EjoThims's Verold setting) (or one of the Humans below, for the extra feat)
  • A fake Cleric (Cure/Bless) build, as a Coyote (also from Verold) or a Puffball Moogle  (or one of the Humans below, for the extra feat)
  • A Telekinesis build, as whatever
  • EDIT: A Summoner build, as whatever Won't work at level 2
  • A Jack-of-all-trades build (6 different [Spell] feats, none of which is especially powerful, and no [Wizard] feats), as whatever

Other racial options (so I don't lose the links) are:
Raven (Verold)
The Human (Morph Bark)
Human (bkdubs/Ziegander)(in the spoiler)
And I'll probably throw on a lesser version of one of these templates, if you're okay with it, Quill.

EDIT:
Feat Chains for the various builds:

I'm gonna be pretty much straight damage out, think warlock. I won't have a bunch out of combat utility at level 2.

Here's what we've got:
Risada: mineral warrior
Zook1shoe: kensai
geniussavant: harrowed
Firesky: wizard with fighter mechanics
Nanshork: ?
Xaotiq: provacateur

Raven (Verold)
The Human (Morph Bark)

I'd rather you didn't use the alt humans, since PHB human is allowed and those are strictly stronger. The Verold ones are a bit strong, but okayed.

Wait, I made it in with my interest post?  Okay, I can work with that. :)


geniussavant, are you going to focus on ranged, melee, or random whatever with your Harrowed?  I've played one so I can point you to my natural weapon focused guy if you need some direction

Slow paced means slow leveling, let me dig through my signature thread and see what I think will fit with what we've got and will be good for low levels.

My thoughts exactly.

Well... Need to work on the base race, I guess...

So, does anybody besides me have out of combat utility? If not, then Nan, if you could play something which does, that would be helpful.

What would you think of PHB Human with one of the above (lesser) plane-touched templates? Playing a Verold race would be cool, and I might still (depending on which feat build I use), but with such a feat-hungry class, giving up that extra slot is tough.

What are we looking for here? Does this help in anyway with our OOC utility?

No worries, I'm not hard set on Harrowed, was just the first homebrew that sounded interesting to play. I enjoy characters with inner demons or a connection to hell.

What about: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205119
?
If allowed, how would you like to handle grafts gained before the start of the game?

If anyone has anything interesting for homebrew base classes or races, lemme know.

Seems fine... What about the LA?

No reason you can't make a harrowed more versatile, though, depending on what harrowings you pick.
