Title: Odd-ish Game Request
Post by: YuweaCurtis on July 01, 2017, 10:40:12 AM
I have the need to play a vampire fairy whom serves a minor vampiric demon deity of music,  guile, and somewhat unity. The fairy itself tries her best to good, but she often makes mistakes that lead to awkwardness and/or hilariousness that she has to fix.

Mechanically I'd be gestalt and using Osl's Vampire and Pixie monster classes, as well the ToBhou Youkai Magician and Purple Mage Heretic gestalt a tenth level... I'd be willing to play with three other players.

Sorry if this isn't detailed enough or violating something else.

So you're wanting a 3.5 gestalt game with lots of homebrew allowed? What level were you thinking? Also I assume you're not looking for a super-serious, gritty game, lol.

I'll throw my hat in the ring if this is happening. Something bizarro with monster classes? I really, really, REALLY want to play a paranoid spaceship - that is, a gestalt of Spelljammer with Panphobic.

Level ten.

I'm not sure about the Spelljammer... Well at least its not a literal spaceship at least...

I want the game to be somewhat serious with comedy elements. Something that's even dark at some times.

oh that's fine, Panphobic lends itself to serious and occasionally dark. And the Spelljammer is just a monster class, think of it as a flying scorpion that's usually a mount.

Sounds vaguely like an old character of mine... who was a psychotic airship (http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=813.msg82635#msg82635). :D

I would be interested as well in playing in this game as well. Lunatic Lancer vampire at the top of my head. Or a Kasha Scholar with Corpse Voyage. Would even volunteer to DM but I don't really have the time to oversee another campaign.

interesting setup, almost has me...

-?!?!///-

sorry, thought derailment, where was I?

Oh yeah, almost has me wanting to bring that nice friendly Mythical Maid to the field. That...or the Naga I have laying about somewhere I made using both Anthromorphic Animal and Titanic Creature sometime ago. She was cute and adorable up until she swallowed her enemies whole...and then she'd burp and be cute once more.

Yes, I remember you talking about that character before. However, as weird as that is, I think the Spelljammer monster class is a little weirder. Lol.

Thought derailment has me weirded out, but that second character sounds delightful. The first probaly wouldbbe cool too though.

You should've been the one to experience it then.  And I'll admit, first glance I thought you said the first character would be too cool.

But I think my cute little monster might be the choice to go with if this takes off. Although the AA and TC combo would only be one half of a gestalt. I've no idea what horror I'd want to combine that with for maximum effect.

Maybe Adorable creature to start with on the other side. Because why not?


Edit; Okay, I REALLY want a gm to take this now. Please?

Play the Naga. Gestalt with a class that lets you merge yourself with your party members. (If such a one exists. If not, I should totally make one.) That way you can fuse yourself with the spaceship, we can charge things and swallow them, then (if we're 18th level) fly up and spit them out into the Sun.

I've seen a Monk PrC somewhere to that effect. Wasn't done all that well though.

found it
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Possessor_(3.5e_Prestige_Class) (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Possessor_(3.5e_Prestige_Class))

...yeah, not the best class. But the point of gobbling people up was to meet the requirement for Titanic Creature's Must Eat a LOT idea. I think I had tied it in with a Blue Mage a la FFIX's Quina.

What's the largest creature that that build can swallow?
Title: Re: Odd-ish Game Request
Post by: Rekmond on July 03, 2017, 01:56:07 PM
Med>Large>Huge from all levels of AA
5 increases from the total levels of Titanic.

So at max off those I'd be Colossal+3

And well, depends.

The AA version of swallow whole, an enemy 1 or more sizes smaller than myself. While the Titanic Creature's Swallow Whole is 2 or more sizes smaller than myself.

So uh, Colossal+1 or +2

....I'm hungry, gonna go find a village or two to snack on.

edit.
 Really the choice of which to use is annoying. The AA can hold more, but the Titanic is better in every other way. More damage per turn and MUCH harder to escape.

Well, I was thinking of a 3-level PrC that requires a swallow ability, where you can swallow willing creatures and fuse yourself with them. Which would allow us to vomit stuff into the sun. But the Spelljammer can get very big - it's Gargantuan at 21st level, then hits Colossal at 24th, and then goes up a size category each level from 25th-30th...

I'm having ideas for another character, though. Not sure what monster class, but I'd love to try out Bladecraft on the gestalt. So I guess, a Fighter going into Blademaster? That's the purest iteration.

EDIT: I'd go with Angel or Leshay // Fighter/Blademaster.

Noelle' s thing was evil clones though. Pretender was the possessor. Although you also had the case 53 woman named after the Russian dolls who'd absorb people. Matroshka?

But yeah. Some kind of Spit Up ability could be cool. Though I'd reserve that for rare cases where I wouldn't just gobble someone and digest them to satisfy my hunger.

ANYWAY play whatever you want (if and when we get a DM), I just had the thought and was amused by it.

In other news, I'm finishing the last 10 levels of Spelljammer that I never wrote; I'm going to repost it in its own thread when I'm done.

So we currently have 4 people with vested interest. That's a fairly solid start. Now if only we could find a loony willing to amuse us.

I for one could use a good game for the summer. I just got a cast off my arm the other week (I made a stupid decision and broke my first bone) so I've missed out on the fun. Only thing I'm involved with right now is a 5th ed game that has gotten old fast due to a poor dm.

Post by: YuweaCurtis on July 05, 2017, 05:08:23 PM
I suppose I should start making the char. Just gotta finish this other char.

This is the moat fleshed out char I'll be playing, so hopefully I get to use her. Well I guess the one I'm working on atm is pretty fleshed out, but only because she's a revamp. Though the execution of her classes is in question.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

I count 5-6, depending on how you count 'vested interest.' :D

Still, the loony bit is still the issue.

Generally I count by people who voice a character idea rather than just people who comment on the topic. Not a solid system, but it gives you a better minimum to go off of.

And Yuwea, I sent you a pm. I don't mind telling people when they ask, but just throwing it out here seems off topic.
Title: Re: Odd-ish Game Request
Post by: YuweaCurtis on July 06, 2017, 08:18:10 AM
Fair enough.

Wonder what I should do with the 2-3 levels on my monster side that hasn't been filled. Don't wanna be a Vampire Lord cause its out if character.
Title: Re: Odd-ish Game Request
Post by: Rekmond on July 06, 2017, 08:43:02 AM
Normally I'd suggest Monster of Legend, but being Undead sadly disqualifies you. Only 2 levels though.

Out of the other template classes Os has, Paragon is an easy choice but you won't get all that much from just 3 levels. You could always try to sell the DM (Whomever it may be) on Boss.

Those are my suggestions anyways. I personally plan on dipping one level of God before picking up my Adorable Creature levels. DM depending anyways.

Boss (http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=qv0rkp4tasp1b1t4qlc8o0mo62&topic=15466.msg273570#msg273570) and Monster of Legend (http://minmaxforum.com/index.php?topic=2723.0).

They're pretty fun to mess around with.

There are so many other awesome homebrew projects besides Osle's stuff. If you're looking for a martial adept, I have like 6 of them. I'm not sure what else is happening with your build, but a touch of incarnum might be nice as well. Or, if you're Cha-based (vampires usually are), a couple levels of Wyrm Warrior would give you some maneuvers as well as a selection of powers from which you can choose one daily.

Post by: YuweaCurtis on July 06, 2017, 11:10:28 AM
Sorry, I wasn't trying to specifically use Osle's stuff. Just what I know most of. The reason for the Swordsage splash was the starting class features.

As far what I'm doing is using maneuvers, and both types of magic. My focus will be those, spell probably a little more. Then I'll round that out with abilities that round out my Vampire powers.

Gotten quiet in here with the other games opening up.

Gotta say though, 3 games getting a move on in the same week......very weird since it isn't even a DM me and I'll DM you scenario.

Now if only someone picks this up.

I just recently looked into the idealist classes after being pointed at the feats for another character, and now I'm looking of itching to play one...

Since this seems to be "gestalt with monster class", you should definitely gestalt an Ethos class with a true dragon monster class. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hmm, just how redundant can we make this? Draconic dragonborn spellscale with the monster blooded (dragon)/monster hybrid feats, allowing it to take Dragon levels, and Scaleshaper on the other side allowing them a wyrm spirit and dragon projections and dragon shapeshifting, plus the dragon cohort feat?

I know I'm missing something...  :lmao
