Skulls & Shackles (Closed, Characters in Progress)

[TheRaven]

Because who doesn't like pirates, right? Probably the guy in red at present.

I've been looking over the Skulls & Shackles Adventure Path recently. That's pretty much disqualified me from playing, but at least it's made me want to run it.  8-)

At the moment this is only an interest check but I'll pass out character creation stuff just so that people know what the setup is. This will go from Level 1 to Level 14, so feel free to plan ahead if that's your thing. As a side note, since there are pirates involved and the iconic pirates of fiction and history have serious love affairs with their black powder, I'm willing to wiggle in some more firearms into the campaign if that's what the players want. Otherwise I'll run it as written.

Attributes
25 point buy

Permitted Races
Races from the CRB and the Featured Races from the APG, along with whatever supplements have been published for them (such as the "Blood of" series), is fair game. Anything else has to get a pass from me.

Permitted Classes & Archetypes
Elliquiy, I'm going to level with you. I hate doing restrictions on classes, because I love all of them and I love the flavor. So, there aren't any restrictions, but please, please, please, don't load up on the cheese. This one's on you to know for yourself.

Feats, Traits, and Such
You'll probably want to select one of the campaign traits from Skulls & Shackles at creation for consistency. Hell, maybe if you all agree to the idea I'll let you have a third trait to make up for taking a potentially unwanted trait. As for what's allowed, pick anything you like. No restrictions as long as I can find it on the SRD or in a splat.

Starting Wealth
Either take your class's average or roll dice for it, I'm not picky. Word of warning, you are going to be separated from most/all of your gear near the beginning of the game. It's all able to be gotten back, but know that you will be missing most of your fun toys for a little bit.

How many landlubbers get to come along on the voyage?
4 to 6, depending on interest and how many characters I fall in love with.

Anything else?
There aren't alignment restrictions, but, for obvious reasons, paladins and other strictly lawful types might not fit in so well among the piratical denizens of the Shackles.

Also, the SRD has compiled a whole page about pirate-y things from the Pathfinder System, so here's the link.

In conclusion, here's a picture of Jack Sparrow, just because. Go ahead and post here if you're interested/have a character/something.

[Callie Del Noire]

Yes, I would be interested (given that I did the LAST attempt at a S&S game on the board)

[RubySlippers]

How would an Undine Druid with the Water Adept archetype do in this game who is well pressganged in as a lucky find, not sure of the diety she worships likely the appropriate elemental lord and will be Neutral? It should be a good one powerful water magics and applications of her powers, healing and will likely feel her capture as a calling to show her patrons power to mortals (as the gentle waters to the pirates and their allies, the fury to the enemies who dare disrespect the element of water).

And a nearly naked lady running around will be fun and if I recall pirates tend to be religious so fucking her over will just piss off a major power they depend on, plus she might opt to not use her healing skills and powers on them. (Captain and the Sail Master likely exceptions to that as the leaders.)

[Callie Del Noire]

Kyrie Ebonblade

Background: Born to a pair of sailor/pirates, Kyrie is the fifth generation of her family to live on the waves and has made a living as a musketeer defending any ship she signs on. With her crack shot and father's rifle, she's set about tracking down the last family legacy weapon, the Ebonblade, and has at last tracked it down to the Shackles after a particularly profitable round of piracy in the Inner Sea.

[Triggvi]

How would you about a little blue golblin psionicist the disquises herself as a halfling. Sort of a kender type pirate.

[Gary Stargazer]

I'm considering coming out of retirement for this one. I've not played a system game in several months on here.
I might be a bit rusty and will need to refresh myself on pathfinder, but what would you say to a Merfolk? I'm thinking Ranger so I can do the Wave Warden arch type of ranger.

As far as the pirates of Golarion go, they're not a very religious lot. Might have more luck playing to their superstition, though. They're far more superstitious than religious.

Looks fine to me.

I'm iffy about psionics. So, the rest of you, thoughts?

The only thing you might have trouble with is spending a decent amount of the game on land in addition to sea. The Strongtail alternate racial trait might help you a little bit if you still want to pursue a merfolk.

[RubySlippers]

Doesn't matter I think molesting a healer of the ship would be a huge no no by the leaders and most of the crew, after all there likely are not that many that can also use healing magic on pirate ships. Plus would you want to piss off a sea druidess they could pose a major threat later to ones life many creatures of the sea are dangerous in one falls or is pushed into the water.  Just takes a Summon Natures Ally spell of sufficient power to call a shark or school of deadly jelly fish. (depending how flexible the GM is one what can be called) ;D

Have a character ready today if possible.

[Callie Del Noire]

I don't know about the rest but I'm not too thrilled by psionics in pathfinder. It's solid and all, just never really clicked with me. Of course I was one of the 5 guys who understood it in 1st edition. Technically, the only person that matters is the GM though.

Kinda hoping someone makes a Tengu. We need our own luck eater.

Trying to build Kyrie into a Siege engine mistress for when we get our own ship. Transmuter wizard with a eye towards cannons.

[RubySlippers]

Okay like pirates can be picky who they get if they get a psion goblin fine beggars can't be choosers.  :D

[Triggvi]

She would only be a psion nomad until level 3 then a rogue after that.

[Callie Del Noire]

She would only be a psion nomad until level 3 then a rogue after that.

Note I said I didn't like psionics. Not that I'm against them (GM decision). I would rather have a good psionics player than some players I have had in the past who play 'chaotic annoying' characters. (Shudders at the memory of a 21 Int/7 wis PC used as an excuse to be 'smart-dumb' anime style)

[Triggvi]

The resaons for psion is to have few minor abilities the magic system could not do.  The psion/thief that can do a few fun things and be very handy on a ship. The psions in pathfinder are easier to deal with thsn than the old 3.5 psionics and better handled. If people want can say it is a form of magic and not have psionics.

Tring to do th character as wizard would not be possible at all.

Hell for all that i could stop her at second level psion and then multiclass with rogue. It would work extremely well that way.

Your character your choice. I welcome any fun and good PC (as in helpful to our goals. I find evil tends to distract but again that is player not PC).

Nomad/Rogue is a good combo. Like I said I'm moving towards gunslinger/transmuter. I want to be an enchanting mofo to five us all sorts of fun ship weapons. The idea of our very own figurehead golem sounds like fun.

[TheRaven]

Okay like pirates can be picky who they get if they get a psion goblin fine beggars can't be choosers.  :D

Well, you plus Triggvi is two. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt in this case. Go for the Blue.  ;D

[Callie Del Noire]

Don't suppose we could go 25 build points? ;)

[TheRaven]

Don't suppose we could go 25 build points? ;)

Well, same process. What do you think team? Do you want 20 or 25 point buys?

[Triggvi]

I am all for more build points

[Callie Del Noire]

Well, same process. What do you think team? Do you want 20 or 25 point buys?

I'm used to 20 pb because of all my PFS stuff.

[Gary Stargazer]

I have no opinion on the points, so whatever everyone else wants is fine for me.
Now as to the land aspects of the campaign, I'm not fully familiar with the skull & shackles setting, I assumed a majority of it would be at sea on a boat, or near bodies of water. I don't mind a little adversity with a char, but will it even be possible to play a merfolk in that setting? After all they can only go so long without being in water.

[RubySlippers]

Oh GM trying to decide on her animal companion, would an Orca work it can swim at 80 feet a round so I assume that could keep up witha ship, but wanted to check before choosing it?

[Callie Del Noire]

Can you get an orca @ 1st level? Thought dolphin was about it.

[RubySlippers]

Its a young orca it gets bigger at 7th level. Its listed under the animal companions the one I get is medium then gets large later on cool huh.

Pathfinder is so cool!

[Callie Del Noire]

I'd go with something that is amphibious till we know the land vs water mix. But I also like the idea of getting a fighter to kick enemies overboard to feed it. Om nom!

We'll be close enough to the sea that it won't be a huge problem, but you start the adventure in captivity. For that reason, you might be confined to a certain area of the ship so you don't try to run off on them.

Oh GM trying to decide on her animal companion, would an Orca work it can swim at 80 feet a round so I assume that could keep up witha ship, but wanted to check before choosing it?

You can have an orca. But, I've gotta say, you unless you fancy him being the target of some of the crew at the beginning, I'd suggest you have him keep a little ways out of sight.  ;D

I could always do a Sea Reaver. I've kind of wanted to take that template out for a spin. Considering that he probably won't be doing much beyond combat as the BSF, so long as it doesn't sound bad to any of you guys, I could go for it.

On a side note, I'm going to house-rule that rapier proficiency means that you also have cutlass proficiency, for the sake of simplicity.

It will be primarily sea-based, but there are some land sections.

[RubySlippers]

They hurt my whale no healing, that is what she is good at. [Skill is +10 right now without a healers kit considered.  ;D]

[Gary Stargazer]

Sounds good then. I'm still on the fence on if I will get the strong tail or not. Eitherway I will make a merfolk a bit later tonight while I'm at work. Again I've been out of the loop for several months, so by all means after i get my char up, let me know if I screwed up anything.

[Blinkin]

Any space left in this?

If so, I have a swashbuckler that I would love to drop in.

[RubySlippers]

By the way am I right in assuming a ships surgeon or sugeons mate is not going to be expected to fight much, healers are not exactly easy for pirates to come by. She will fight if she has to mind you just its not her forte.

[TheRaven]

Space is left indeed.

Probably don't have to worry about that for a little bit. You've gotta climb the pirate chain of respect first.  :P

[Blinkin]

Hmmm... have to make some adjustments to the swashbucklier. Kallie will recognize him though, it's the same one asbefore... lol

Question on the 25 point buy, was a decison made? The character was a 25 point buy, but I can adjust him without too much difficulty, but I need to know.

I'll post him s soon as I know about the point buy and make a few adjustments.

[Re Z L]

Any more room left?  This sounds promising  ;D

I wan to hear from a few other people first. But with opinion swinging the way it currently is, unless we hear objections in a few hours, it's safe to assume 25 points.

Any more room left?  This sounds promising  ;D

Yep. Though you'll be the last one.

[Triggvi]

I will have by blue up tonight

[RubySlippers]

More points - yay!!!!

[RubySlippers]

Yep, I'm setting her up as a Ship's Surgeon basically like her mother. Her background is under custom she was token press ganged to the ships crew set-up by her mother for some coin and heavy coin at that. Well qualified Ship's Surgeons that can heal well and do carpentry to make peg legs, false teeth and the odd base for a hook on an arm is kind of a big deal. But the Captain knows she will be willing to stay on its not like he can make her stay due to her race and more importantly other skills.

Her current Heal skill is at +11, Carpentry +7. Is decent in other areas.

Is coming along well. I wanted to ask could I get suppler leather with the quality of padded armor she is not likely to wear heavy armor but some leathers would make some sense maybe shark skin. It would be paid for as leather but have the stats of padded for protection and weight likley the only clothes she wears in fact.

Sure, I can do a reskin of the padded armor. Same stats but different flavor.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yep. Though you'll be the last one.

Awww, it seems I missed chance join in Callie :P. I was thinking have go at human sorceror (perhaps aquatic bloodline). Tiefling maybe as I had idea he has some distant blood connection to Besmara.

I've seen you work Zaer, and we kind of need an arcane caster, so if you really want in, I suppose I can let 7 in. But I'll probably have to do a little tweaking to still make it a little difficult.  :P

[Blinkin]

Ok, Introducing (or is that reintroducing?) Lantus Everleaf!

Name: Lantis Everleaf         Player: Blinkin
Race: Half-Elf               Sex: Male
Class: Swashbuckler            Favored Class: Rogue, fighter
Level: 1         EXP:000         Next Level:
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Age: 22         height: 6’         weight: 155 lbs

Physical Description:

Lantis, standing at an impressive 6 feet, is a ruggedly handsome figure of a man with long, slightly curly chestnut hair that frames a tanned, strong-jawed face. His features are dominated by deep, dark blue eyes and lips that always seem on the verge of curling with some secret mirth. Well toned muscular limbs accentuate his lean figure. He moves with a dancers grace and a deliberate, determined pace. He is most often found in loose, comfortable tunics with well fitted leather breaches tucked into thigh high, turned down boots.

Personality:

Lantis is a man who enjoys life with a zest that could leave some winded simply by watching him. A constant, vibrant energy seems to infuse his every breath and he firmly believes that life is meant to be lived, people enoyed and humor above all is to be encouraged. If you’re as likely as not to die tomorrow, live for today! A relatively good natured person, he is as much at home in a crowded tavern brawl as on the shifting decks of a ship with her sails full... although he may not always be what he seems.

Ok, 7 is a lot but so is that players can drop from the game when it starts :P. Anyways start work with char tomorrow, going for aquatic bloodlined sorcerer. Likely a tiefling. Although tieflings get -2 charisma penalty....is there chance I could trade it to other mental stat penalty? Like wisdom?

A NG pirate?  ???  :o

I hit a wall with alignments. Most GM's don't like "evil" characters, even in a pirate and lawful doesn't work;that only really leaves neutrals and good.  I can't play a true neutral in a way that anyone is going to like, so that left either chaotic good or neutral good.

My views on chaotics is based upon older descriptions of AD&D and that would REALLY annoy people, so that left NG. NG and NE are, to me, the most versitile options, so I took good because of the whole GM's don't like evil thing... I can go NE; it's not a problem... he'll just be more self serving than good natured. lol

[Callie Del Noire]

The only alignments that are a big problem is the Lawfuls.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Well, lawful evil is classic alignment for bandit lords and pirate kings and so forth. Even LN with twisted sense of economy and justice can work. LG would be actual problem. So would be CE depending how psycho the guy is.

[Muse]

Ack!  Am I too late?  Stupid cold! 

Have fun everyone.

I warmly recommend this guy above me. He is DnD fan like me and had been around long too :).

[Blinkin]

Ok, so change his alignment to NE. No worries. :) I just hate to go with an evil alignment and then be told that they don't like evil characters

[TheRaven]

Muse, I was directed to your last attempt at this, and I'm going to extend the invitation to you as well. Okay, now that I've safely doubled up on the minimum party size, let me go about making some big changes. Still, we've got plenty of people now if we start dropping.

I'm fine with evil alignments, particularly in a game about pirates. Because let's be honest, we can't all be Will Turners and Jack Sparrows. Some of us need to be Hector Barbossas and Cutler Becketts. If you want to change it up, be my guest.  8-)

Ok, 7 is a lot but so is that players can drop from the game when it starts :P. Anyways start work with char tomorrow, going for aquatic bloodlined sorcerer. Likely a tiefling. Although tieflings get -2 charisma penalty....is there chance I could trade it to other mental stat penalty? Like wisdom?

Blood of Fiends is free game, so you can slap the other tiefling templates on him. If it's your cup of tea you can take the 1st level feat too and swap out your abilities.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yeah, I think I will. Although the list of varied tiefling templates I felt not satisfied fluff wise (statitic wise I could had been happy with daemonspawn). None gives the 'offspring of CN deity' vibe.

Or I could go aasimar considering the deity for piracy is CN and may had banged a angel in one her raids in heaven.

Sounds like fun to me. They get a +2 to Charisma, if I remember correctly. Also, the Azata-Blooded template gets +2 to Dexterity and typically lean towards Chaotic. Can't remember if Besmara drops by Elysium during her interplanar voyages.

EDIT: Yep, she does. Plenty of chance to meet up with azatas.

[Muse]

  *smiles* 

  Thank you, Raven, I'll try not to disapoint. 

  Can someone give me a run down of what we have in aplications so far? 

  Is this mostly just going to be a patfinder game run on an adult board?  Or are there some erotic themes you'd like to explore? 

[Blinkin]

All I know is that I'm playing the charming swashbuckler with the rapier wit and sharp sword... wait, reverse that...

And welcome Mr. Ah-Muse-ing. ;)

So far, we have...
-Druid
-Ranger
-Gunslinger
-Nomad-Rogue
-Rogue (Swashbuckler)
-Sorcerer (Aquatic Bloodline)

The other guy who was expressing interest hasn't put forward a concept yet. So, there you go. We seem to be a bit short on front-line muscle, though.

As for the game's content, I'm perfectly willing to mix both. That part's up to the players (which seems to be a recurring thing with me :P).

Also, I'm going to start getting threads set up. They'll be linked to in the main post, as well as posted in a new post when I'm done.

EDIT: On that topic, what's the general consensus here? NC or no?

A little short on muscle... Lantis is going to feel awefully exposed with the only one who can actually swing a sword. ;)

On the content... bring on the wenches! llol

[Muse]

  *Smiles*  I enjoy some NC.  Especialy when I'm playing evil.  :)

NC is fine with me

I'm kind of flip-flopping around with ideas, but I'll probably end up filling whatever niche we might need, which currently seems to be some kind of front-line fighter

I'll be going with Magus.

[Muse]

*Chuckles*  That's what I was looking at 'til I noticed we had no cleric.  :) 

[Triggvi]

I can have my.nomad have some healing.

[Muse]

... 

Nomad?  As in, a psionicist?  :) 

How does that work?  I mean, besides personal healing? 

[Callie Del Noire]

we got an aquatic druid right?

[Muse]

  Yep. 

  It's my experiences with pathfidner modules that it really helps to have the basics covered. 

  Of course, those experiences are colored by a bad GM. 

[Gary Stargazer]

I'm still working on my wave warden, but they will be melee based with minimal archery, so there will be Some muscle, all be it a little slow on land/deck compared to in water. I am going to take the strong tail perk, so will have a 15 on "foot".

[RubySlippers]

No Undine Adept as in a racial specialty druid who well is attuned to water so you have a clericiness covered, and she is a trained Ship's Surgeon kind of a big role on a ship.

[Triggvi]

I can do a fighter type if we really need one.

[TheRaven]

I think we'll be fine on that count now.  ;D

[Muse]

   Hm... 

  What do you think, Trig, should I do a Wilder or a Soul Knife?  :) 

[Triggvi]

A soul knife would be interesting.

[TheRaven]

*rubs hands*

Okay, one son of Besmara and Bralani swashbuckler coming up!

[Blinkin]

TWO swashbucklers in a party? THAT should be lots of fun. lol
