Yeah, I decided on my own, special blend fighter build that is more designed around getting multiple attack opportunities and using the momentum of the forceful weapon to to its fullest, including adding the ability to attack with reach and, eventually, do attacks of opportunity with reach.

zen

Zen, I like human Kiara a lot. She's my favorite of all your suggestions and builds so far. The only thing I'm missing is a couple sentences about personality. I mean, I can imply things from the detailed history and proto-kiara. But since the other Kiara officially figures in new Kiara's backstory...

zen

Yeah, but if you want that and you have someone as awesome as DMDarcs, it's just a matter of "work it out with the DM". This discourages using charisma or intelligence as a dump stat in games where figure you can role-play around the deficiencies on the paper. Most importantly to me thoug...

zen

Yeah, Zen's right, you can only boost any given stat once in each stage. He says "unfortunately", but I see it as a perk. Characters are more balanced and more compatibly playable in my mind. The only downside I see to this method is that it makes it harder to create more "interestin...

What is a trident but a long fork? The perfect implement for a gourmand! "Filcher’s Fork: This halfling weapon looks like a long, two-pronged fork and is used as both a weapon and a cooking implement." I see no reason why there couldn't be a three-pronged version for worshipers of particu...

zen

Thievery? I'm not sure I appreciate what you are implying by that particular question. I dabble in the trade of information, and sometimes that means I need to get myself into... and out of... places. And maybe that means I help myself to some things that would be better used by others. And maybe, ...

If you want a website that will help you with it, I found one that seems to work. It even lets you choose "Core Rulebook Only" when you're starting a new character. This is the link: https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html You can use it for free, or pay a small amount in order to be able to sa...

I could be chasing a bounty anywhere in the area whenever I meet you folks, that includes on a ship.

zen

In the end, we all need to be in Sandpoint to get in on the job, but we could have met prior and have kept in contact once we arrived?

If you work riverboats as well as on the sea, I can guess where we met!

Updated the Human Kiara's backstory a bit... I fixed some typos, got rid of a couple of half-elven references, and fixed the age and timing of the "just might be Kay's father" character. (Ok... totally is Kay's father...) [It just happens that the Drow raid on Crying Leaf would have been r...

I've come up with an Alternate version of Kiara: A Human fighter. Not using one of the standard builds in the P2E book, but one of my own devising in terms of the Feat path. She still was raised in Crying Leaf, but by her adoptive mother after her mother died, and then left at 15 to go to her parent...

zen

Thought for the wizard is that he's an obsessive wizard, always focused on learning new, more powerful spells, and crafting more powerful magic items. If we had stayed with P1E, he was going to be a mystic theurge, focused on amassing more and more arcane and divine magic. This is similar, but only...

Because it's a finesse weapon? Those don't have to go together. In other words, you're already getting the bonus from choosing your superior Stat, you don't get a second bonus for it /also/ being agile. [EDIT: Agile doesn't mean the same thing in 2.0 that it did in the old version. In the old versi...

Still hoping to play a healer of some sort, although I'm happy to defer to anyone else who really wants to do it. I'm just not into the Hulk Smash because I worked all of that desire out of myself with Dwyn. Your idea of a healer that infuses food with healing magic is fantastic! I hope it's doable...

I would certainly like to have Stan as well... :) And: Submitted for GM approval... Kiara's backstory: which connects her to Sandpoint and Ameiko Kaijitsu, with a bit of extra connection to a certain group of adventurers who frequent Ameiko's establishment in Sandpoint... https://www.dropbox.com/s/t...

I'm glad you're dealing with whatever crap life's been dealing you. I've been pretty busy with work this past month myself, with a new contract for our company that has had us getting up to speed and starting on active "fortnightly" test cycles processing incoming high stakes tests. (Fortn...

I found Haven through a “fiction discussions” thread on a Discord site for a comic artist I support on Patreon. The reason the person posted about it was that Haven’s devs had put out an update about a year after it was released to allow the player to choose between playing the game with the two mai...

Needle in a Timestack I stumbled upon this the other night thanks to the wonders of promotional placement.

Late to the party on this one, but there are series that I specifically get the audio version of the book because the narrator is SO GOOD! The "Chronicles of Dorsa" by Eliza Andrews is one of them. I joined her Patreon leading up to the final book in that series partially because I'll get ...

Not having to survive as level 1 & 2 characters? I'd take that! LOL!

So, if I am not mistaken, we're planning on a week from tonight?

Old news but I heard the final word on what the cause of death for Bob Saget was. He evidently fell and hit the back of his head, didn't think it was as serious as it was, and died of a brain hemorrhage of some sort, as well as a skull fracture. So, basically, the same thing that killed Natasha Rich...

I made some slight tweaks to Kiara: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1r6rrw6a5xxk0zj/Kiara.pdf?dl=0 For one thing, I realized that I was shorting her one language. (I always seem to forget that half-elves get both Common and Elven as a given, so the two bonus languages based on her INT needed one more. Whe...

Sounds like you're dealing with whole rooms full of bullsh*t spouting orifices... you're surrounded by walking, talking poop jokes!

zen

And, of course, by tonight I meant Thursday... not actually tonight... but I'd say March 24 gives us plenty of time to get prepped for the next adventure!

zen

So... I'm guessing tonight is not a gaming night, or are we getting together to talk "in person" about next steps?

What Happened After - Kailiana and Eldthor - Kay's perspective As they discussed before returning to Sandpoint and at the Rusty Dragon, Kay and Eldthor went with the group to check in on Fort Rannick first thing after getting settled into their rooms and resting for a couple of days. On the way ther...

I'm leaning more true neutral right now.

Kiara also has a few rogue skills, though having a full-on rogue would be good. She can pick locks at least.

zen

So... next question... Alignment? I have Kiara listed as NG right now, but I'm not sure if that feels right. I mean, she's a Bounty Hunter by trade, so that suggests a bit of a lawful nature, but I wouldn't say Lawful Good with all of the baggage that entails... Perhaps True Neutral? But I'm kind of...

Slight change to the Duelist/bounty hunter character I started working on: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdfcjeswvzbrvtl/Kiara.pdf?dl=0 She's named Kiara now. I'm thinking I like her a lot and would like to play her. If this game is placed too close to the time period of RotR, she won't be Kiara Eldthor...

The duelist fighter seems pretty close. I just tossed together a quick duelist... you might notice the name and lack of gender... (haven't found out yet...)

Of course, he or she might be too young for this campaign...

Jade Regent sounds like a fun ride. Second Darkness and Curse of the Crimson Throne are also intriguing, however, I would probably not use the character I've had been working on (Woodland Elf Druid with Ancestral Longevity) as for either of those. I'd probably go with either a bard or rogue. (I migh...

On my to do list? Grabbing Karzoug's dancing ranseur and getting it fit for Dwyn to use because I want the scene where the next runelord sees it, does a double take, and then while it dances and they parry, Dwyn pulls out her faithful hammer and mashes his/her sorry ass. It's almost enough to make ...

If my calculations are correct, it's this Thursday. I can be there for a bit, but have to run around 11 edt. Nothing on Hal's list except what has been mentioned and taking steps to hunt down Magga.
