'The Collector' 3.5 D&D campaign.

[Elven Sex Goddess]

’The Collector’

Each of you has answered the summons, to come to an estate and the mansion upon it, within the city of Silistra.    A maid greets you all at the door.   Leading each of you up spiral staircase that is centerpiece of the room just inside of the foyer.  The mansion has not an opulent look, but one that contains a vast collection.   

Reaching the second floor, the group of you is led into a room.  Which quickly is realized is a bathing room.   For within the tub that is of a fine craftsmanship.  Is a strong heart halfling woman.   

The sloshing of water sounds, as it stirs with her rising up to greet you all.


”Welcome I am glad all of you could come.  I am  Lady Tinkle Longstride.”

She is tall for a halfling about a couple of inches taller then usual for her race at 3’6” in height.   Raven black hair that cascades down around her shoulders and rich blue eyes.  Of which seem to assess each one of you as they dance over each in turn.

”I would like to employe each one of you.  In forming a team, in pursuit of retrieving and collecting rare art, artifacts for my collection.”

[Rydia]

Please enlighten me.  The Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge?

[GoldenChild]

Yeh I was thinking on the same thing myself.

[Jefepato]

I'm not a huge fan of the GUCK (Wisdom damage from orgasm?), but this does sound interesting.

Any restrictions on alignment?

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Here is a link for Guck system.

Alignments -  Any

[Jefepato]

In that case, I think you can count me in for an NE rogue.  Not the party-killing kind, though.

EDIT: Or possibly bard or warlock, I need to think about it.  They might fit better...

[GoldenChild]

Cleric here... worshiper of a god of Love and Passion

[Rydia]

Psion, if they're open. 

Imagine the potential!  My character:  "That was the best orgasm you ever had."

Them, hypnotized:  "Yes, that was the best orgasm I ever had."

[Elven Sex Goddess]

So far;

Rogue that is NE

Cleric of a love passion deity.  Choose what ever deity you like,  be it Sune,  Aphrodite or Hanali ..etc...

A Psion, is fine.  (god need to re read the books.   ;) )

----------------------

Also in addition to standard alignment. List sexual alignment that is in GUCK.   (NE/Gyno)

[Rydia]

Do you want us to PM you our characters, or put them up publically on a board?

[Elven Sex Goddess]

PM for now, until the board is set up. 

[Jefepato]

Actually, on second thought, I'll probably go with a succubus/incubus using the Savage Species progression.  (I'll need to check and make sure it doesn't differ from the 3.5 version of the creature, though.)  It fits my idea pretty well -- I just need to make sure I have an item with undetectable alignment so nobody smites my character.

Alternatively, if the rest of the party is going to be good-aligned enough for this to just not work, there's always the helm of opposite alignment.  (Since those only work once and are discharged, would it have to come out of my starting gold or not?)

[GoldenChild]

I hope Aasimar is up for grabs?

[indarkestknight]

Hrm... choices, choices... Tempted to go with Rogue here, but there are so very many options... hrm...

Unless someone plays a paladin, what alignment you are should not matter too much.  Yes it would come out of your starting gold.  Since in supposition I think you would hide your abysmal nature with the ability to shape shift to alternate humanoid forms. 

Another item if want something to hide alignment.  'Ring of Mind shielding' 8000 GP cost.

[indarkestknight]

Oh, Jefepato, it does. I think there's about a +6 increase in Cha from the 3.0 version, though I don't know how you'd work that it properly...

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Aasimar's are open their a +1 ECL so starting level would be 4th.

[Jefepato]

I'll think about it, but if everyone else is either good or nearly-good (are they?), it might be easier to justify why my character hasn't turned on anyone yet (and to explain ICly to the other PCs what use I am to the party) if she's alignment-warped.

(An outsider can't generally change alignment without magical interference, right?  I thought I'd seen one or two examples, but I don't know if those are exceptions to the rule or whatever.)

Another item if want something to hide alignment.  'Ring of Mind shielding' 8000 GP cost.

Actually, I'd need such an item even with the helm, since the helm can't change alignment subtypes (and the ritual that can costs something like 50,000 gp and a bunch of XP as well).  But an item with continuous undetectable alignment is only 1000 gp (but it only hides alignment, not any of the ring's other benefits).

Oh, Jefepato, it does. I think there's about a +6 increase in Cha from the 3.0 version, though I don't know how you'd work that it properly...

The Savage Species progression, oddly enough, seems to have that added in already.  I did the math; it has the ability scores all correct for 3.5.

The 3.5 succubus is actually missing a few spell-like abilities that it lists, and it has a different summoning power than the 3.0 version, but it pretty much works.

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Ok on the succubus,  I am not adverse to you being Chaotic Neutral or even Chaotic Good.  I think the inherent nature of chaos should be.   But the other can vary.   But then a chaotic good succubus would not be looking to seduce someone to corrupt. 

[indarkestknight]

Aasimar's are open their a +1 ECL so starting level would be 4th.

What about lesser aasimar for GC? (Player's Guide to Faerun. Basically, they have the humanoid type, and have LA +0 as the only changes.)

[Jefepato]

But then a chaotic good succubus would not be looking to seduce someone to corrupt. 

Of course not.

Maybe she could be travelling with GoldenChild's cleric of love/passion, partly because he's trying to keep her on the straight and narrow (if CG counts as "straight and narrow") and partly because she has no idea where else to go?

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Of course not.

That would work, is a good idea if Goldenchild likes. 

[RubySlippers]

Ohhhhhhhhh can I play. Do you need a fighter?

[indarkestknight]

Hrm... it looks like we do, but if you'd rather not play the fighter, I'll take that job instead.

[RubySlippers]

I'll whip one up won't take that long fighters are easy. Just make sure we have a medic and a rogue to flank bad folks trying to flank her.  ;D

How are you doing hit points by the way?

As for the character I thing a halfling specializing in paired daggers would be fun, high dex and the right feats would do it. Ambidexterity, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Finesse (dagger), Weapon Focus (dagger) and Weapon Specialization (dagger).

With a 20 Dex and 12 Str would get a total of +11 to hit, +3 damage and get an extra attack. No including bonuses for any magical enhancements and the like on the weapons. Ok likely won't be bright and not the wisest halfling around but would he a nightmare in a fight adding in his racial adjustments.

[Jefepato]

There's no "Ambidexterity" feat in 3.5 -- Two-Weapon Fighting basically does the job of both.  (Also, you don't have to pick a specific weapon for Weapon Finesse, it applies to every finessable weapon.)  So you'd have another feat to play with.

You might also consider using kukris instead of daggers, since they're awfully similar in form but strictly better (they're martial weapons in 3.5, so as a fighter you'd be proficient with them anyway).  But it does sound like a fun character.

[WarDragon]

Hm, looks like this one's full.  If anyone drops, let me know, I'd be interested in filling in.

[Jefepato]

I have to say, I'm a little annoyed by the sexual proficiencies in the GUCK.  There are only nine categories of Perform (which are very broad), but there are 36 listed sexual proficiencies (and that's ignoring all the "et ceteras").  You'd need to be level 33 to actually be familiar with every aspect of sex.

[Rydia]

To be honest, I don't think it's ideal either to reduce sexual activities to a series of opposed rolls.  I'm inclined to freeform the act itself, but I like the idea of making a role for it in the system, with the use of fertility spells, lust-driven prestige classes, etc.

[indarkestknight]

A dagger specialist, eh? Hrm... Swordsage instead of rogue, then, I guess...

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Ohhhhhhhhh can I play. Do you need a fighter?

Yes your more then welcome hun

Hm, looks like this one's full.  If anyone drops, let me know, I'd be interested in filling in.

Yes, WarDragon, I had said five, but think will allow for a 6th member for the party.

Now here what is I gather so far.

Jefepato - Succubus

Goldenchild -  Cleric of a love/passion deity - Asasimar

Rydia - Psion

Glabrezubane -  Rogue or Fighter

RubySlippers - Fighter

WarDragon - ?

[GoldenChild]

Of course not.

Maybe she could be travelling with GoldenChild's cleric of love/passion, partly because he's trying to keep her on the straight and narrow (if CG counts as "straight and narrow") and partly because she has no idea where else to go?

Sounds as a good idea... I'll be chaotic good = "a fuck is just a fuck, no attachments"

[indarkestknight]

Odd philosophy, for a cleric of love and passion.

[Jefepato]

Asherah, which version of the GUCK are we using?  The online guide, or the one in the downloads section?

[RubySlippers]

Still will do a fighter not sure all the specifics now two-weapon fighting in 3.5 kind of sucks now.

[indarkestknight]

Really? How so? Requires fewer feats...

[Elven Sex Goddess]

The online is what we will be using.

I agree, it is more a guide for with npc's then with other player characters amongst themselves.

 

[WarDragon]

WarDragon - ?

You rock, Asherah. ;D  Since it looks like the melee role is pretty well filled, and I don't play sneaks, I'll probably make a caster of some type.  Top three choices right now are Sorcerer, Shapeshifter Druid, or Dragonfire Adept.  Either CG or LN alignment seems like it would fit this party...

Lower damage output.  Almost none, unless you have Sneak Attack or something similar, really.  If I were you in this case, Ruby, I'd consider Fighter2/Rogue3, and take the rest in Rogue and Invisible Blade.  Just trying to help.

[Elven Sex Goddess]

How about a spike chain fighter.  A elven spike chain fighter 2nd lv, Swash buckler 3rd lv.   Give it stats like Str 14 Dex 16 Con 12 int 16 wis 9 chr 8

feats, exotic weapon profs spike chain,  combat expertise,   improved trip,  power attack,  weapon finesse (spikechain) free with swashbuckler class.

So you have a attack with mastercrafted spike chain of +10  dam 2d4+6 damage, and if you power full at +5 you now have a +16 damage.   (str 1 1/2 for two handed, and int +3 added for insightful strike of the swashbuckler.   now you can up the damage with getting guantlets of orge power or perhaps put a flaming or frost on your spike chain. )

Needless to say that your initial attack is down as a trip (touch attack and can power in it.)  That you get a automatic attack if win trip.

Just a suggestion.   

[Brandon]

Hmmm, sounds interesting. Think Ill throw my hat in as a wizard if theres still room

Right now I have 6 for the campaign.  If one drops, you be the next in line and thank you for the interest.

[RubySlippers]

Because under the old rules with the two featw I could use two heavy weapons together if strong enough two bastard swords. With this I'm pretty much stuck to a heavier weapon and a dagger or similar one. As in no hulking Barbarian 2/Fighter 3 half-orc death machine with two bastard swords. No smarts, wisdom or looks but watch out on other counts. lol

Really I was thinking a human fighter with two long swords or something now pretty much out.

[Dreamy]

Because under the old rules with the two featw I could use two heavy weapons together if strong enough two bastard swords.

You can still do that, you only take -2 to both attacks when compared to the other way. ;)

Anyway, in Complete Adventurer there is a "Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting" feat that removes this malus, allowing you to fight with a normal weapon in your off-hand with the same penalties as if it were a light one.

Under the old rules, using two non-light weapons still gave you the exact same penalties it does now.  In fact, you're better off now, because with the feat you save in not having to take Ambidexterity, you can take Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting.

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Quick note,  hit points maxed at first level.  Then half +1 + con bonus every level after.

[WarDragon]

Quick question for Rydia; do you plan on building your Psion as a blaster, or more a controller or support type?  I'd prefer for whatever I make to fill a gap in the party line-up, rather than leaving a weakness open.

Had someone put up a handy link to the GUCK?  (I need to go over it more thoroughly some day and pick out where me and my old friends contributed.) 

I like Conductive Kiss for Psionis, though if they'd adapted my version it would have been more generaly useable.  I seem to recall that the Bulletproff Beauty feats were just too ponderous to be worth while, but it's been way too long to say for sure.
