Your beast list is quite exotic. It looks very fun.

Yes it does seem so.  :plotting

We will see. I tried to include both defensive and offensive capabilities. As well as some that can be used as utility.

The real fun starts at 10th level though. Oh the beautiful things I will be able to do then....   :evillaugh

So I did some calculating, and out of the groups mine could possibly hail from, here are the possible scores. Bolded are the groups I like best....
City Watch - Very likely he could be a guard-figure, though he doesnt seem quite mundane enough to bother with them - 7 or 8
Praesidio Arcanum - Would gladly serve his lord as a double agent and enter their ranks; a lawful melee with divine would be welcome - 11 or 13, depending on time undercover
Church of the Dark God - He's a divine guy, so it's possible.... and a brutal bastard, so possible... - 6
Red Lotus - since he serves the group leader, he'd be in this if he's in the PA, so this would be a separate affiliate score - 7 or 9, depending on time planted in PA
Order of the Dawn - He's an angelic knight, and if the group hates the PA and magi (being RL), it would not be amiss he'd be a part of it - 8

None of these take into account any of the multiple-additions; these are based off of bare-bones 1-time modifiers from the criterion. I could probably get more points in it if i added one of the multiple-use modifiers.
I'm here and ready to keep confusing the hell out of everyone I meet.

I don't know if you're interested in actually pursuing the Nullblade/Thaumurai quirky opposites thing in game but if you are then Order of the Dawn would be interesting since I'm PA and they hate each other.

Also, I would imagine sirpercival would be amenable to adding Thaumurai to the list of appropriate classes that get you +2 in that affiliation.

Oh yes, absolutely.  I wrote Thaumurai after I did the affiliation.  I'll have to add it.

BTW, did you two see Architect of the Twofold Way?

I have now, and it looks awesome. I'll go post more complete thoughts on its thread probably tomorrow.

Maybe I should switch my planned progression to Thaumurai2, ArchitectX. Or Flay and I could do the fusion dance and qualify that way.

Just to point out, you need 3 levels of Thaumurai to qualify...

You know, I had been intending a crossover of null/thau, but I'm kind of interested in just going straight Thaumurai. Pretentious dick knight that I am. but then again, I'll have to check out the PrC and decide...

Also, I think that I will be going Order; With his history, he will just be a soldier, but that's fine. Maybe if I find nice plate armor later on he'll have gotten to knight-level.

So we've got feelers in the PA, the OotSD, and the Magi.

Looks like we've been a busy bunch of evil conspiracists.

Since you guys have already talked about the groups backstory and goals, have you also talked about how we met?

I think Flay and midnight collaborated on a backstory.

My understanding is that we work with/for shadowy abberationy beings and that it's possible those beings suggested we all work together.

Beyond that, we haven't talked about it.

 Does everyone have their character ready? Should we put a tentative date for characters to keep things moving?

I posted a WIP sheet in the [TEAM] thread.

I'm not sure what Affiliation my char should be.  I'm thinking either Delver, P.A., or The Fallen.  Thoughts?


EDIT:  Succubus really is the PERFECT race for this character.  The 2nd level Deadly Seduction ability combined with all of the Jester/Shamurai features and the Group Fake-Out skill trick means that every time I successfully feint someone (or multiple someones) in combat, they suffer a -7 to AC for the next round!  In addition to losing their Dex bonus!

Wait. You want to be a succubus/jester? How does the level adjustment work with that.
The main concern I have with this is "What kind of story are you trying to tell" everytime I see jester, I get worried someones planning to devolve things into sillyness.

As far as the background Flay and I did some talking before it started we planned on doing a "Team Evil" thing modeled somewhat off o the wei empire in those Koei games.

The focus of the chars is the downfall of the empire an a retun t the age of monsters. Aka "aberrations" in this case. They had been pretty much killed and/or hunted t exitincton.
 So they created a genertion or two of "progeny" in the twilight of their people and hid them till they were strong enough to re-emerge and "turn the age" so to speak.
 We represent a secret soceity of sorts called the "Kingdom of Un"
though off the record the idea that I had was somethign lie "Tentacles are us" after I saw the dementist build.

My charater, and molochio's took abberation blood to show the heritage and we're cousins its the relation ship between Cao Cao, and Dun if you're familar with the games.

Flay is a thaumarai, dedicated to our cause, The nullbat is someone who we've met in our adventures and being a being of talent and power, we were like hey "join us, itll be awesome for you. Fuck living in caves."

 I'm thinking the dementist is either progeny related, or a big fan/scholar of the "Leviathan Age" and actually tracked us down like batman or some such. Which is really rather cool.

In anycase You're more than welcome, if its cool w/sir P.

Is everyone pretty much just waiting for all the chars?

None of those roles are binding or anything those ar just the parralels I had been looking at, as our party grows. I feel pretty good about the power level of the team. I've been volleying with my charcter and developing his personlity more.
