Champions of Dungeons. (CoC x PF) (Interest Check)

[Antipaladin of Calista]

I have a plot in mind and will be the DM, but before I go and set things up or do this and that I wanted to know how many people would be interested in doing something like this.

The basic idea would be the players are sent to destroy 'seven swords of sin' each one tempting them with its sin.

The story would be fairly plot driven with stops to let players chat and rest and build character relationships.

So that said, any takers?

Posting interest.

Are the seven sins like pride, gluttony,  etc or are they more like sodomy, bestiality, etc?

[Antipaladin of Calista]

This is a Pathfinder system game? I may be interested.

Yes it is pathfinder.

Posting interest.

Are the seven sins like pride, gluttony,  etc or are they more like sodomy, bestiality, etc?

They are the classic seven  (wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony), but with a few modifications. Since 'sloth' would make for a relatively boring enemy it will be replaced with 'Anger'. To the same effect, 'greed' and 'envy' are too close to avoid some form of repetition so instead it will be 'Treachery'

[Tydorei]

Pick me! Me. Me.

What starting lvl are you pondering?

[Meliai]

Potentially interested! How are you thinking of implementing the CoC-inspired stuff?

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Pick me! Me. Me.

What starting lvl are you pondering?

Well for now its just an interest check, but if it turns into a full blown rp then sure. Actually im looking for the group to be around four or five people not counting myself.

As for starting lvl im thinking about 4 since that's when classes start to really take off. (ex. paladins and rangers get spells and such.)

Potentially interested! How are you thinking of implementing the CoC-inspired stuff?

Im thinking that I could bring over certain items and make up rules for them. Additionally I'd be heavily using the D&D 3.5 Book of Erotic Fantasy. Which is basically a big book of ''hey guys, ever want to fuck the monsters instead of kill them?'' Its a really good resource. Some of the things it has are: the addition of the appearance (app) stat, the 'preform sexual acts' skill which determines how good you are and how long you last, new monsters specially made for this type of story, and new magic items just for fighting and fucking!

[Meliai]

Sounds neat! There are some aspects of CoC that I'd prefer my individual character not be subjected to (pregnancy and long-term gender change mostly) but assuming players OOC limits will be respected you can count me in :-)

Ok. As far as things you'll be subjected too I'll see what all the player's on's and off's are and anything that everyone hates will be out. That said, if your character drinks a weird potion and is now futa its because you didn't cast detect magic and then identify first.  >:)

[Antipaladin of Calista]

If anyone wants to start making a character please use plothook or mythweavers. Also, I'm picking characters based on best background and what will work with the story. Most things will work though.

Take note, this isn't your little sister's eroge. Monsters will be just that, monsters. While the art style you should keep in mind leans towards the more popular 'monster girl' style monsters will be how they are normally expected to look. (ie. This creature stands barely three feet tall, its scrawny, humanoid
body dwarfed by its wide, ungainly head.)

No worries! If I get in, I was thinking of a sorceress anyway. Bloodlines are really interesting but I haven't gotten much of a chance to play them :D

Are you using Golarion as the setting, or something custom? Anything we should know about where we're starting out?

Its a custom setting and depending on what the players play will help me decide where they start. That said I'd like you guys to vote for a world map out of these:

one:


two:


three:

I'd love to play this. I love pathfinder and coc.

[Re Z L]

I'd definitely be interested in playing this as well  ;D

[Tydorei]

Heh heh. Round 2 Relz? Hopefully this one goes the distance.

And i vote for map 1 by the way.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Update:

Started working working on a plot (so far SWAG as fuck)
Here's a little sample:

Many moons ago, there was a horrible demon by the name of Demertrion. Welding the seven swords of sin, each having power over the sin to which they are assigned, he ruled the world with an iron fist. His power was tremendous and to this day the effects of his power can still be seen. However this is not his day...


Definition of SWAG: walking with a stride that can be found to be intimidating.
>can be found to be intimidating
>found to be intimidating

[MrBubbles]

Corruption of Champions? And Pathfinder? Together?

You certainly tickled my interest.

I vote for map one.

[godfang]

I vote for map 1 since it looks like it will have the biggest variety of land to play in. I will submit a character soon :D

[Muse]

  This is certainly an fun concept. 

  I'm a bit hesitant about trying to audition a character concept when I have no setting to base off of.  ^_^;;  Are we supposed to make up stuff about our home town/religion/etc? 

[Autocad]

I vote for the first map if only because the other two look two much like generic fantasy-Europe maps to me.

I won't be able to make a proper character sheet until next week, but I have an idea for a paladin of looooovvveee >_>

[Yukina]

I have finished my sheet. Would you like me to link it to you?

[Muse]

Would something like this work?  (Also, how do you want us to do attributes?) 

Misti Amala: An Angel with a Shotgun

   One day, about a century ago, a baby in a basket was left on the doorstep of the temple of Ariond, the god of innovation, who teaches his worshipers to learn about the world and use their knowledge to build a better future.  The babe was rather striking, with bright purple eyes.  The priests who examined her believed she had angelic blood.  They took her in, an engineer-nun named Amala took responsibility for her care, and gave her the name Misti. 

   Misti proved to have a very long childhood.  She outlived the grandchildren of those who raised her.  This made her very sad, and drove her to spend time with the few more long lived temple residents and distance herself from others.  Nixi—a gnomish alchemist—and Rinda—a half elf temple guard—became her friends and teachers. 

   One day, she found a beat up old musket in the vaults and received permission to make a project of repairing it and learning its use.  She mastered it and served the first decade of her adulthood in the temple guard, but after Rinda’s funeral she couldn’t bare it any more and left to find her own way in the world.

Here's hoping!  ;D

Map 1 does seem to be the best of them all, I agree.

Once I know a bit more about what you have in mind for the setting I can put something together.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

While I'm awaiting a yea or nay on the plothook/mythweaver's issue, I'll hold off on background until I know more about the setting used.... although my leaning for this game is toward a ranger.

Thats fine. Just go ahead and post it in here instead.


Seven swords... mere weapons that nearly destroyed the world. They gave Demertrion his power, without them he was merely a demon, not to be taken lightly as demons have great power, but a demon non the less. He was truly monster of sin. He was prideful of his greatness, greedy for power and wealth, lustful for those he could not have, gluttonous for all he could consume, angry for his lack of these things, despite being treacherous and willing to stab backs to get what he wanted, and for all this he took his wrath on the world.

The story of Demertrion is not however without a hero. The Magus known as Lucian Ingham is the hero who bested the demon after all hope was lost. He was all the opposite of Demertrion. Lucian was forgiving, self-less, calm, modest, respectful, trustworthy, and giving. As a child he had always done what he could to help others and never batted an eye. His mother was a hedge which and mid-wife while his father was a priest. He lived a life of happy goodness.

On the first day of the new century there was much celebration, though not all was in good faith. A secret cult known as the cult of Zosor sought to bring a demon to the world to do their biding. Unfortunately, they were successful. As their magic circle melded with their minds they turned to stone as their life force was stolen and Demertrion was released. Indecently this was the creation of what would ironically later be a holy site known as the circle of magi. Seems after you restart the world the old truths are forgotten.


more background.


As for setting I've decided on a medium sized city so that everyone can still play whatever they like. to the east is a large Vally and to the north is a massive forest. I'm still working on the politics of the city and things like that.

[Yukina]

Palidan, may my character use spells from the book of erotic fantasy?

[Re Z L]

I'm considering an Aasimar Paladin at the moment.  Would a paladin work well with what you have in mind for the game?  What kind of gods are there?

[Florence]

I would be interested! :D

Yes you may, but unless your god is one of lust chances are some of the spells wont come up.

A paladin always works provided that you role play them well. As for the gods I am working on that.

http://chet.kindredcircle.org/pdf/DnD3.5Index-Deities.pdf

This is the index im using for the creation of a pantheon.  Im trying to narrow it down to about 15 major gods and goddesses. About five good, neutral, and evil.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Ehh, fuck it. Here you go:

The Pathfinder campaign setting plays host to a large pantheon of deities, ranging from the all-powerful greater deities to the minor gods and demigods, who are mostly powerful extraplanars. While most deities' followers span cultures and races, some races and "civilized" monsters have their own pantheons of deities, worshiped primarily within their own ranks.

So it seems that map on is the favorite. That works for me. The players will start on the continent of Marquessa:



In the area known as The Sandpoint Hinterlands





in the River Kingdoms:



in the Provence of Daggermark:



In the city of daggermark.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

When making your characters remember that you live in a city, unless your a traveler. While in the city you must follow the laws and such that they have. I'm working out the details of those, but needless to say, you should buy some kind of outfit to walk around in.

Standard starting wealth for a 4th level character?

Standard starting wealth for a 4th level character?

Traits: Clarify?
Attributes: 32 point buy
Wealth: Roll starting for a lv one and then add 1000gp. In addition I will give everyone an item that has either been passed down in their family or that they found in their exploration.

[Florence]

Hrmm... Perhaps someone here can help me out with my character idea. I had an idea to play either a nymph or half-nymph, but I'm not sure where I could get proper rules for making a character like that, if they even exist. If not, I'll think up something else. Perhaps a half-orc, since I've never played one before xD Not sure which gender of half-orc to play if I go that way. Either could be equal parts interesting or horrifying. xD

As for the Nymph character, I figure she would have either lost her home, or if she's a half-nymph, simply be... ya know, okay with being in civilized land and stuff cause... not a full nymph xD

Traits:  http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits

Basically mini-feats, usually the GM lets you take 2 at level 1.  There's a feat to give you more, but usually you get two and never gain any other ones.

[Meliai]

Traits: Clarify?

Traits are minor things that let your sort of extra customize your character. They give you small bonuses based on history/faith/race/etc, like a +2 to a skill or two or some other small bonus in specific sorts of situations. They're available here on the SRD. I believe by default you get 2, but DMs can allow more or less or none at all.

[edit]Whoops. Helps if I actually read the new post when Ell tells me one's popped up while I was writing.[/edit]

[Antipaladin of Calista]

So im experimenting with ways of adding in a lust mechanic that would operate with the same principals as CoC, but in the PF format. I'll let you guys know if I have any major breakthroughs.

[MrBubbles]

Alright, so I got an idea for a character, but I'd need a bit of info on the setting before I can start writing him up;

First things first, how many liberties can we take in determining what's what with the other continents? I'm looking to have my guy come from a desert tribe, but I'm unsure if any regions with deserts already exist in the setting. Secondly, would the adventurers be going to Daggermark with the intention of hunting for these swords, or would they be there under different pretenses? Finally, is this Point Buy or are we rolling for stats?

So im experimenting with ways of adding in a lust mechanic that would operate with the same principals as CoC, but in the PF format. I'll let you guys know if I have any major breakthroughs.

What if you made it similar to Stabilize rolls? Erotic maneuvers or attacks could cause characters to build up Lust (maybe your Will save acts as DR to the "damage") and players have to roll a 1d100 to see if they succumb.

Here's an example of what I mean: Let's say Joe Fighter has a Will save of +5 and a current Lust of 26, he's in combat with a fairly chesty Goblin who flashes him, the maneuver causing 17 points of "Lust." Due to Joe's +5 Will, he only takes 12 points of damage, bringing him to a total Lust of 38. At that point, Joe has to roll a 1d100 and get over 38 to stay lucid; if he hits anything lower he succumbs to the creature's advances.

All of these are good questions.

1. Since the world still shows scars of the past it's not uncommon for there to be strange occurrences. While The world is big and most things would work, I'd like you to run whatever it is you had in mind for the other continents first.

2. If you look just north of the river kingdoms you'd see that there are a few areas that are in a desert style surrounding an icy area. Therefore so long as you're a traveler you'll be fine to be from a desert.

3. The swords will not be a known threat, merely an old wives tale, but after an event happens in the story the players will take it upon themselves to retrieve the swords. For that reason each player must either be a resident of Daggermark or be passing through and resting there.

4. 32-point buy.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Attention!

I mentioned using the Appearance stat as an additional stat. DO NOT count this in your point buy. At the start of the game I'll roll and tell each player their App score.

I love this idea! That's perfect. Additionally, races with a racial bonus to attack and damage against races may add that to their LR.

Heres an example:

Barst Orecrusher is a dwarf fighter who is in combat with the same goblin that was mentioned before. Dwarves Hate creatures with the orc or goblinoid subtype and get a +1 to attack rolls against them. Sexy is sexy, but hate is hate. So the +1 from hate gets thrown in with his will of +5 for a total of 6. This reduces the 17 points to 11 instead of 12.

[Re Z L]

You could also use a similar mechanic to grapple.  Instead of a Combat Maneuver Bonus/Defense, there could be a Lust Maneuver Bonus/Defense with a separate damage track based upon a character's Wisdom (Will) and class.

[Meliai]

Unfortunately it looks like neither the Ploothook nor Myth-weavers sheets allow you to add an additional ability score. Are we still using Appearance, and if so where would you like us to mark it? Ninja'd again! At least I caught it this time ;D

Additionally, how focused do you expect the campaign to be as far as social vs combat stuff goes? I'm wavering between a few sorceress and bard builds, but I don't want to go all social-fu and then end up being a drag on the team if we're 3/4 combat or something. The story I've got in mind is for a sort of journeyman priestess of Shelyn, but her clergy generally avoids combat when they can and her first move in most confrontations that involve intelligent enemies would be diplomacy.

While I love social interaction and being out of combat, I find that battle scenes take up a lot of time which is a shame. So despite me wanting it to be 2/3 social and 1/3 battle, those scenes will make it seem like its more battle. Im aiming for about 2/3 social and 1/3 battle.

[Meliai]

That's fine! I think I'll go with a bard and focus more on buffing/debuffing sort of stuff, so I can be useful in a fight without having to overly focus on it.

I've also found that the dreaded Don't Split The Party rule is easier to work around in play-by-post games if the GM is willing to adjust encounter difficulty since it's far easier to handle two parallel scenes in text compared to doing it face to face (though sometimes you run into a timing issue, since a 30-second battle can take weeks to get through.)

My RL group's main melee guy is playing a magus! You can do some scary, scary damage with a maximized shocking grasp spell. Their HP isn't as high as a straight fighter but they're not going to be squishy, and if we've got a paladin you shouldn't be the only one taking hits anyway. Not that straight fighters can't be fun too! I'm sure whatever you chose will be fine~

Oooh, Sarenrae! Now we just need a follower of Desna and ((NSFW!))we'll have the whole trifecta :D

Uh oh...

Oh goodie, an Inquisitor, maybe we have our worshiper of Desna  ;D

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Hey, what would you guys like for the first sin to be? I was thinking either greed or gluttony. What are your thoughts? Is there a different sin you'd like to fight first?

Here's Karina, my nymphspawn... if i missed anything or made any mistakes, please point them out xD It's a bit late for me and I think my mind is already starting to grow sluggish.

[MrBubbles]

So how much gold are we working with, standard amount expected for level 4 (which in this case would be 6k?)

Gluttony sounds the more interesting of the two.

Nah, I stated in an answer before, roll base gold for your class then add 1,000gp. At the start I'll give each player a magical item that either belonged to their family and was passed down of they found it randomly.

Amin Nusair

Amin Nusair
The Wandering Tribesman
Level 4 Human Fighter

Appearance:
Tall, finely-built and handsome, Amin is an ideal specimen of the Karashi people. His mahogany skin and black hair are accentuated by elaborate tattoos that trail across his entire body, although few outside of the tribe have seen them beyond the ones on his face and arms. Perhaps the thing that's most noticeable about Nusair, however, are his eyes; an almost metallic gray (a feature of his people,) his eyes visibly contrast with the darker tones of his flesh, causing observers to be drawn towards them. His voice is a low, silky baritone that some would call both commanding and soothing.

Amin moves with an almost elegant grace even when bedecked in the distinct Lamellar armor of his people, although this ease of movement does little to hide the power behind his arms, or the hardiness of his solid chest.

Personality:
Born into a society where honor is as valuable as gold, and twice as hard to earn, Nusair is not one to make a promise he can't keep. Duty-bound to his people and a stringent follower of his own personal creed, Amin Nusair is a stalwart sentinel for his friends and a nightmare to his enemies.

Amin is a warm, if at times stern individual. To be a tribesman is to be amongst one large extended family, what else is one to feel when amongst his brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers? Amongst foreigners however Amin is reserved and professional; strange tongues and stranger customs do nothing but remind the Tribesman that he is far away from the familiar sands of Nad'Hara, and although he may make friends or develop a reputation amongst the Mumman, Amin understands that he must eventually return to his people... And not empty-handed.

Background:
With his mother dying during childbirth and his father often away for raids against other desert tribes, Amin Nusair was effectively an orphan at birth, being cared for by any available Arkamaegi who were willing to look after him. When the survivors of a raid came home with his father's sword, Nusair was truly an orphan. At that point his fate was at the mercy of the elders; perhaps given to a couple who had grown barren, or simply left to fend for himself. In the end, it was one of the Arkamaegi that cared for the boy, one Nora Solai, who chose to take him in.

As the seasons came and went, Amin grew up to be strong and proud under the careful tutelage of Solai; at day, Nusair would train with the other young men of the tribe in combat, and at night would be tutored on the Adara and stories of legend by the Magic Weaver. The myth of Barinak, the fabled Promised Land, enamored the young Amin most. Whether Solai intended it or not, he had planted a seed within Nusair's fertile mind those nights, a seed that would soon germinate and lead him to a path that may change the course of their people's future.

Upon reaching adulthood, Amin was brought into learning the time-honored traditions of both the Karash and his forefathers; raiding. In this Amin was a natural, proving himself adept with both bow and blade on the battlefield, bringing honor and wealth to himself and his people. For years Amin was content, until eventually it became routine; the traditional caravan routes and dunes of Nad'Hara becoming too familiar. Worse yet, Amin grew bitter at how his people, although proud, did little to further their lot in life, seemingly content with their nomadic lifestyle. Filled with wanderlust, bristling with pride, and developing a sense of duty to his people, Amin set into motions plans to leave the Karash and travel the world, returning once he had found treasures valuable enough to elevate his people to new levels of security and power.

His intentions, however, are perhaps more grandiose then that. Beyond finding mere gold or gems, Amin had embarked on a quest to find artifacts powerful enough to allow his people to expand, carving into the green lands to the North or South in a quest to escape their constant tribulations. Most grandiose of all is his hope to find something strong enough to undo the perceived damages to his people's homeland; restoring Nad'Hara to it's former status as Barinak, allowing his people to live in peace and prosperity.

Currently, his journey has brought him to the town of Daggermark...

[Anon315]

In the spirit of CoC, I was thinking about playing a Centaur, but I notice they are an advanced monstrous race with 28 racial points. Any chance I could trade point buy points 8:8 to get that down to "20", and the general limit for player races? Was thinking a Centaur Druid, from the woodlands near the town who is also interested in maintaining the natural balance and thereby wants to prevent the chaos that might be caused should they ever fall into the wrong hands again. If this doesn't work, I might just go Tiefling with a demonic feel. Trying to remain true to the source material, after all. Tiefling would probably be a dervish dance magus, who is interested in studying the swords before they are destroyed, perhaps he feels a kinship there, who knows.

Cade Capricio
The Errant Bride, priestess of Shelyn
Level 4 Human Bard

((I haven't chosen spells or worked out equipment yet, I figured backstory and whatnot was more important as far as choosing the party goes. Everything else should be set, I'll finish things up after work tomorrow if I don't get eliminated. I always babble when writing character backgrounds, sorry :P))

Background:
     Cade's early life was full of mixed blessings. She was born into a once-great noble family in the city of Riverton, near the southern boarder of the River Kingdoms, but the line had fallen on hard times and she was but the latest generation in a dynasty fading into obscurity. Though she had more luxuries than most children in the city much of her childhood was lonely; the other high society kids gave her the cold shoulder due to her House's rapidly falling status and the peasants wrote her off as a spoiled noble looking to pick on them for a cheap laugh. Tired of fruitlessly searching for friendship, she threw herself into her studies. She was a bright student, but where she really excelled were the arts. She could dance as well as any elf or fey, and play the violin so well she brought tears to many an eye. By the time she was fourteen she'd become the talk of the town, and it was now she who shunned the other noble adolescents. One day her parents interpreted her practice, coming to her nearly bursting at the seems with excitement. They'd just closed negotiations with Roald Whitecrown, third in line for the thrown, for Cadence's hand in marriage. Unfortunately for Cadence, "marriage" in this scenario was little more than slavery. Roald was notorious for the ever growing harem of wives he was slowly acquiring.
     Her opinion of the mairrage irrelevant, Cade's belongings were packed and she was swiftly delivered to the sprawling Whitecrown estates. or the next four years she saw almost no one aside from the other Brides and their trainers, only allowed in public for her weekly recitals. In the interim Whitecrown's retainers saw to her training, bolstering up her high-society manners and ensuring she was worth to be a princess, even if she was only one of several. Most importantly, she was gradually introduced to the world of sex. Though her musical talents set her apart from the other Brides, she never would have been chosen if her looks weren't up to par as well. Though strictly instructed to keep their virginity in tact, Roald's brides were expected to be well versed in the carnal arts, and no expense was spared to be sure they knew as much as possible before their first night with their husband.
     But Cade was restless and unhappy, and before long she had hatched a plan to escape. Halfway through her seventeenth year, as Whitecrown was making plans to take the young musician to his bed, Cadence made her move. She charmed a guard with her fledgling magic, easily convincing the man to escort her off of the Estate. With a heavily armed guard at her side, no one questioned her. Once in the city she fled, stealing a horse(anonymously sending payment or it several weeks later when she was forced to sell it to cover her tracks.)
     Eventually she met up with one of Shelyn's clerics and the young woman offered to share her wagon in exchange for a song, having noticed the violin Cadence carried with her. She was astonished at the beauty of the girl's music, and over the next month the two grew close and Cadence found herself powerfully drawn to Shelyn and her church. The next year and a half were spent in training, and a mere month ago the young bard was made a priestess. She operates out of a small but well maintained temple dedicated to Shelyn in the heart of Daggermark's artisan district.

Personality:
     For someone who's endured so much hardship, Cadence maintains a remarkably upbeat outlook. Friendly and optimistic, she looks for the good in everyone, even if it seems none is there. Due to her limited social interaction, Cade has a difficult time reading others, and her insistence that there is good in everyone often paints her as quite naive, and it is not difficult to take advantage of her trusting nature.
     She is deeply curious and delights in hearing others' stories and learning new music and dances from foreign lands.
     Despite possessing magic of an arcane, rather than divine, nature Cade is remarkably devout. Though not pushy with her faith, she is always eager to espouse Shelyn's teachings to any why will listen. She wears the badges of her office proudly, never seen without at least one indication of her faith somewhere on her body.
     Though she has little in the way of personal experience, Cade's harem training has granted her a surprising level of knowledge of the carnal arts. Shelyn does not discourage sex among her followers as long as it is not used to harm or manipulate others, but the young bard is rather self-conscious about her history and endeavors to put on a very prim and proper facade despite a natural inclination for sensuality and exhibition. She often gets caught up in her art and fails to realize the sort of reactions her dancing can illicit from the right sort of crowd.

Appearance:
     Cadence is perky young woman just reaching the end of her teenage years. She has long, graceful legs, an athletic build paired with ample curves, and a seemingly boundless well of energy. She keeps her auburn hair cut somewhat short, and often pins colorful accessories in it, particularly when performing. Her bright, inquisitive eyes are the most striking feature of her winsome young face, their strange violet coloration hinting that her family's claims of fey ancestry may be true.
     In part due to her faith and in part due to natural inclination Cade is highly fashionable, favoring bright, eye-catching clothing. Though she can't afford finery she goes out of her way to seek out garments of high quality and interesting design, often hunting down young tailors and seamstresses whose work has not yet earned them fame to bring back to the church (and bolster her own wardrobe.) Many of her favorite garments feature emblems associated with Shelyn, particularly birds and feathers. Her clothing always flatters her figures and she doesn't shy away from showing skin, though not to an obscene degree. Most importantly, they are cut to allow the maximum freedom of movement, since you never know when an impromptu performance will be called for.

Hmm, he might be a little out of place at first since the story starts in a city, I'd go for the Tiefling if I were you.






Due to the number of people who have made this mistake I will clarify:

THE PLAYER CHARACTERS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE SEVEN SWORDS OF SIN BEING A THREAT.

At most they might know it as an old wives tail, a story of the past such as a creation story. Its used mainly to explain the areas that are left from the supposed rule of demons.

[Re Z L]

Linea "Serenity" Davina
The Light of Redemption, Paladin of Sarenrae
Level 4 Aasimar (Angelkin) Paladin


Background:
The Angelkin was found by the clergy of Sarenrae, abandoned by its parents on their door step.  They reasoned amongst themselves that the mother must have feared the child was an abomination due to its strange eyes and faint horns beneath the surface of her head.  Viewing the child as a hidden blessing the clerics took her in and raised her within the temple.  The abandonment would plague Linea through her early life.

While still very young she helped around the temple as much as she could, not truly understanding the teachings of the Clerics, but learning what little she picked up along the way.  She viewed all of the clergy as her "parents" and loved them all in different ways.  It wasn't long until the clerics discovered her touch had certain restorative properties.  A kiss on the cheek was enough to bring an exhausted soldier back to his feet, and a touch was enough to stabilize the nearly fatal wounds of another.  The blessing now fully revealed to the priesthood, they planned on how best to hone the girl's skills.

Her middle years were the most troubling for her.  Finally understanding that she had been abandoned by the people that should have loved and cared for her left a scar upon her soul that she roiled against in many different ways.  Sometimes she would shirk her duties, other times she would sneak out of the temple into the city, and other times she would even strike out at her "family" in anger.  They counselled her as best they could but knew that it would not be an easy trial to overcome.  Tearfully she would pray to Sarenrae for answers, but only silence followed.  This continued for some years before she finally received an answer.  A man had recently confessed to the widow of his deceased friend.  The friend had been dead for some time, but most had thought it was an accident.  Seeking redemption the man told her what had happened and that his friend's (her husband's) death had been his fault.  In a fit of rage she chased him out of her home and went to seek justice for the murder.  The man ran to the clerics of of Sarenrae, followed closely from behind by the woman and a number of her friends.  Linea tried to calm the woman while the clerics protected the man from the mob that sought his head.  "Redemption begins with forgiveness," the Angelkin told her, something that the clerics had taught her many times, but something that she only remembered by rote.  As if speaking it aloud had somehow resonated within her own heart she cried tears of empathy with the woman.

The answer wasn't enough to fully heal the scar, and it still remains a sore spot with her to this day, but it was enough to make the teachings of the order more real to her and enough for her to move on with her life and attempt to heal the internal wounds she had inflicted upon herself.  As she grew her strength and faith also increased.  Her duties expanded from simple healing to protecting the people of the town which helped her develop her martial prowess.  She was soon inducted into the formal ranks of the Paladins of the temple.

As her connection to her goddess deepened she felt a deeper connection to the sun and felt that it may have been guiding her somewhere.  She consulted the rest of the order and they gave her their full support in searching out whatever destiny Sarenrae may have in store for her as the sun pulled her to the west.  With the end of the summer solstice she left her hometown of Liberthane to follow the inexorable pull.  She stopped in some cities along the way, staying only long enough to leave her mark upon the town by helping those in need.  She now finds herself in Daggermark, wondering just how long she might last in the city so steeped in evil.

Personality:
A loyal friend and caring woman, Linea can be the kindest of allies or the most determined of rivals.  Gifted with the touch of a healer she has long cared for those that are hurt or ill.  Full of hope, she believes that all evil is like a disease of the soul which can be cleansed away, no one is so far gone that they cannot be redeemed (with the exception of mindless creatures, of course).  Loyal and honest to a fault, she will protect her friends and any cause she believes in until her very last breath.

She has few "enemies", preferring to call them "rivals" instead.  She does not hate them, she simply wishes to help them while keeping them from bringing harm to others.  Merciful in combat, and willing to listen to her foes are two weaknesses some may say that she has, but they are important tenets that she adheres to.

While devout in her worship of Sarenrae she knows that there are many paths to redemption and simply attempts to help others find their right way rather than force them into following her own ideals.  Freedom is important to her, viewing tyranny as one of the evils of the world that should be cleansed.

Appearance:
Linea holds a truly angelic beauty, despite her more inhuman features.  Most notably are her eyes and the pair of burnished gold horns that grow from just above her forehead.  Irises that change color to match the hue of the sun in the sky rest as jewels amidst the otherwise black color of her eyes, giving them an unnatural glow, while sparkling with deeper facets.  Her slender frame belies what strength she truly has, though her body has the physique of one regularly exercising at their upper limit.  Her height is made up primarily by her exceptionally long legs and abdomen.  Her hair is dual colored, a dark midnight black with sunlight-blonde bangs.

Her well-bronzed skin is often on display when she is not fully armored.  Her clothing is often modest, though revealing bare shoulders, midriff, and legs whenever possible.  Even conservative clothing does not dissuade the attention her appearance often receives.  She wears as little as she does so that she can remain more fully in contact with the sun, even going so far as to meditate nude in the mornings when she receives her divine magic from Sarenrae.

Jawru the Hellspawn
Aspiring Swordsman and Entertainer
Tiefling (Grimspawn) Wizard (Spellslinger)

Appearance
Jawru is something to look at, to be certain. With a tail that he seems to swish around at his leisure and a pair of wings which flap to no real effect, he looks more at home on some other plane than on the material. He dressed outlandishly, torn between an armored appearance of black dyed studded leather and a dancer's garb of blacks and reds which accentuate his demonic heritage rather than hide it. He bills himself as exotic rather than use the slew of other words which are generally used to describe him, few of which are flattering. The body bears the scars, as does the face, of a number of fights from his younger years before he properly learned how to defend himself, and one of them mangled his eye. It retains full functionality but is rather a put-off to his clientele and so it generally remains covered by a fashionable eye patch or similar obscuring device. He takes almost meticulous care of his clothing and weapon, as well as tending to his horse almost as if it were more than simply a beast of burden. He'd like to think of himself as handsome, but knows that right was taken from him long ago.

Personality
An everlasting optimist is Jawru. In the face of overwhelming adversity, he was beaten down and built himself back up from rubble. To that end, he seeks to defend the weak, uphold the public good, and... okay, almost got through that without laughing. In all honesty, he is actually a fairly bright individual, when in public. He puts on a good show of playing nice for all the primes and their authorities, but deep down his darker nature fights his nobler self and wins so often as it loses. He doesn't go around murdering innocents or pillaging the virtue of maidens he crosses, but he's been known to take things a bit too far and cause trouble solely for the sake of self-enjoyment. During his performances, his face is all smiles and wicked grins, the sin that cannot be indulged and the boy that mother not only warned you about, she forbade entirely. Therein lies his appeal, the forbidden fruit of a rotten tree. Girls love a bad boy. For all Jawru knows, he has a half-dozen offspring in villages sizable enough to gain his notice and wealthy enough to keep him interested. Much like his father before him, Jawru is not nearly about to stick around to find himself a father to a bundle of hellish joy.

Background
Jawru's mother conceived him in a night of wild passion. The daemon which seduced her had little enough trouble, she was a weakling to begin with. Her husband was away fighting some ludicrous battle and had left her alone, so what right had he to complain when he came home to a pregnant spouse? The line was drawn when she birthed Jawru, however. The beating his mother received once her labor had passed and she had rested rivaled any she was to receive for the next several years. Jawru was too tiny then to do anything, so the beatings continued. Meanwhile at school, the other children teased him about his wings and tail, useless as they were. They threw stones at him, kicked him, and struck him with wooden play swords. For a time, this continued, until one day there was simply enough. The sword struck Jawru's face with enough force that the eye was bloodied, hanging from its socket. Clutching his face, the Tiefling screamed for help that did not come. The priest even passed by, decrying this as a just act for such a foul spawn of evil. He didn't understand. He'd never done anything even remotely evil. Perhaps that was what he should do, then, to balance the scales. Scales. Like he had growing on him now. The next day, he took with him to school a knife. They never saw it as he used his tail to draw it and place it in his hands during the morning prayer, and then as he proceeded to bury it in the spine of the boy who had taken his eye, his nature came and sucked the boy's very life from his body. The priest came, to take the child and burn him, but the boy was not a demon. Prayers did not save the priest. He set fire to the schoolhouse, and he set fire to the church, and he left the town and did not return. When he reached home, he found that his father had finally gone the last inch and beaten his mother completely to death. He didn't care. That life was behind him now, he just needed his regular shoes and his regular clothes. The ones he wore to school wouldn't do for the life he was taking on now.

Jawru learned quickly in the streets of any major city he could find. He learned how to entertain the masses by dancing, how to dodge the blows of those who thought he didn't deserve to breathe much less eat, and most importantly how to leave his own marks upon others rather than have them leaving theirs upon him. He took a job as a smith's apprentice, in the bellows where many could not handle the heat he seemed to relish it, basking in the warmth and handling fresh steel as if it were cool to the touch. He trained with the sword, and trained in mind and body as well. It was a slow process, but in time he even found a larger hint of that magical ability he'd experienced that day at the school. He learned a number of useful tricks which he transcribed into a book, and a number of skills which quite frankly saved his life a few times, though they left their taint upon him. That was fine, he was tainted to the core anyway, right? Except that he wasn't. He wasn't irredeemable, nor was he 'evil' at his heart. Everyone did evil, except those purest of souls who walk the holy path and are so pure that those of his prurient nature could not so much as look at them without feeling disgusted with themselves. It was on the streets that Jawru first sold himself for money. Not a dance, not a show, not even a fight which he occasionally got into for a week's bread, but actually sold himself as company. The woman was ugly, but he hadn't eaten and when you were starving you can do most anything to get a meal in your stomach.

It disgusted him, and generally set the tone for his future with women as he'd eternally seek to be the purveyor of that feeling rather than the recipient. He would seek to conquer women who would be actively disgusted by him when they saw what he was truly like, when the clothes stopped hiding the wings and tail. He was charming enough and had the appearance of an adventurer by this point, not to mention money earned from being a sell-sword, and could find himself companionship in most places. After they'd accepted the coin, it was just like his first night. Bargains must be kept, and no amount of weeping will change his mind. That isn't to say Jawru is an uncaring, selfish, or abusive lover, quite the contrary, he's merely an insistent one when he's already paid for it. These days he makes a living, if it can be called that, selling his sword and a turn on the tavern floor at dance or the dance of death. With his trusty steed, who has the good sense to still be a little spooked by his presence, he makes his way down paths and trails, even across seas, eking out a living where he can find it, and searching for something truly worthwhile.

I'm like a kitten, if I spot something shiny I immediately drop whatever I was doing and pounce on it



This style is deceptively hard to mimic

Also I had to improvise on Amin's and Linea's outfits so they're probably wildly inaccurate.

And I think Jawre's wings are normally hidden but wings are fun to draw.

Cade is really tiny next to these guys wow.

Even smaller text!

This is so adorable, haha

I'd say you got Linea down pretty well  ;D

You drew them... Ok if your in this pic your in. Thats going to be my four. looks like a cute and fun group.

[Yukina]

What would I need to do to be accepted by you, Palidan?

[Antipaladin of Calista]

What would I need to do to be accepted by you, Palidan?

If there wasn't already a human bard in the group id reconsider, but that and the fact that I freaking adore that pic:



is why i picked this group. Sorry. No hard feelings, maybe next time.

[MrBubbles]

Oh my god this is so adorable.

[Amin disapproves -10]

[Yukina]

Maybe I could make a non-human? Would that be better? Would a Catfolk ninja interest you?

[MrBubbles]

Quick question AoC: What are some ways to lower Lust? I know masturbation is always a surefire way, but is it possible for a character with sufficient Wisdom (or perhaps a feat) to meditate instead (or some other non-erotic action?)

Asking since I'm not sure if Linea or Amin are the kind of people to go out for a date with Rosie Palms/Ms. Right when they feel their lust rise.

[Meliai]

[Amin disapproves -10]

Cade is going to drive him crazy :D

Sure. Since I'm letting players take one trait, you can make up one that trades your lust being dropped by masturbating to meditating.

[Anon315]

We do seem to have a rather... overage of frontliners. Would it help if I rebuilt as a Myrmidarch magus? (Difference being: Ranged attacker vs. Melee) Similarly, I could also go full on caster, as we seem to have 3 partial casting classes but no real casters.

[Muse]

  I think that one spot has been awarded, Blinkin', but not all of them. 

  The first pic is a video from a sexy anime where the two girls turn into demons.  The second is a drawing in neon colors of some characters--i think ones that applied? 

[Anon315]

Unless I'm entirely mistaken, I believe he was saying the group is Amin, Jawru, Linea, and Cade. Those illustrated in the picture. I realize you can't see it, but it's them drawn in an adorable style. Jawru the tiefling is attempting to be a dashing individual with his wings and handsomeness, Linea (The aasimar, who actually has horns rather than the tiefling) is not amused, Cade is being adorable and tiny, while Amin just isn't having it.

This is correct

[Tydorei]

lol. I didn't even submit my character yet. oh well. Maybe she can join at a later date.

[MrBubbles]

So what does the Appearance stat actually do? Does it play the role as another aspect of Charisma, or does it simply determine how attractive a person is, and thus garner the attention of people they may or may not want the attention of (more likely to be targeted for sex in combat, more likely for a member of the opposite sex to approach them in towns, etc.)

Regardless I'm not sure what would be funnier, if Amin got a low score in Appearance or an 18.

That's what Jawru is for!

[Meliai]

I imagine Antipaladin will be making some tweaks, but in the meantime here's the info on the Appearance stat from the BoEF (with some of the extraneous stuff cropped out because this is a pain to reformat)

A creature always has an Appearance score. An Appearance score cannot be reduced below 1 for any reason. This includes through ability damage or ability drain. At the DM’s discretion, a character can suffer penalties to his Appearance score after a particularly horrible accident or misfortune (this choice should be used sparingly however)

Skills: Disguise becomes an Appearance-based skill. Bluff , Gather Information, and Intimidate vary between Appearance and Charisma, depending either upon which attribute the skill uses as a class skill or the precise approach used. This gives players and DMs who wish to personalize characters great leeway. For instance, an attractive woman could sit around a tavern all night listening to the local toughs try to impress her with gossip (using Appearance for Gather Information) or a charismatic bard might ask around and call in favors to find out about a topic (using Charisma for Gather Information.) Generally,
a player uses whichever ability score he prefers, though a DM may standardize it for her campaign or rule in each situation.

You apply your character’s Appearance score to the following
• Disguise checks. This skill has Appearance as its key ability
• Bluff , Gather Information, and Intimidate checks. These skills use either Appearance or Charisma as their key ability. In addition, certain classes have skills that specifically key off Appearance. For instance, the Imagist {MelNote: Imagist is a caster class detailed in the BoEF} uses her Appearance modifier instead of her Charisma modifier for her Diplomacy modifier and Leadership score.

Variant; Spells
When adopting Appearance as an ability score, you may want to use it to determine the DC of Enchantment (charm) spells. Any spell or eff ect that hides a character’s visage in some way, such as invisibility, also negates any bonuses or penalties to skill checks caused by a creature’s Appearance score.

Appearance and Species
Creatures tend to be most attracted to members of their own species. Perceptions of other species’ Appearance scores are lower. Characters suffer a -2 penalty on Appearance based skill checks outside their species or subtype. Exceptions include elves and fey who have universal appeal across all species.

Disguise being based on appearance alone seems questionable to me though. I can maaaaaybe see there being a penalty for trying to disguise yourself as someone with a significantly different App score than you, but I don't see why being prettier would make you better at pretending to be other people.

That's what Jawru is for!

:D Cade likes helping! She's not sure what anyone's talking about but she totally wants to help.

[Re Z L]

Maybe we should start an OOC thread to keep from bumping this one forever and ever

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

There is no more room in the campaign/character cast already decided, correct?

If so, AoC, would you perhaps be willing to DM a second campaign with another cast of characters?  ;)

Sorry, but I really hate having the same campaign twice at the same time. It gets me confused between the two. But I will have another rp that I'll be looking to start soon.

Speaking of soon, I'd like to start the game of CoD tonight. I'll be looking to start somewhere between 8-9 PM EST.

Ah, that makes sense. Not sure how it'll translate beyond being more appealing to NPCs (since people who would be doing those checks will probably have a higher Charisma than Appearance,) but I guess we'll just have to see how it unfolds in the RP.

Yeah, I imagine it'll influence our game mostly through the Lust mechanic. Honestly it seems pretty superfluous, even with the changes the BoEF suggests. In 3.5 especially Charisma was such an under-powered stat it seems silly to add a new one that almost eclipses what few useful applications it had. Luckily charisma's more fun in PF :D

Will you be giving us our Appearance rolls and magic item then?

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Appearance (App) and you!

How to survive in a world of monsters that want to rape you more, just because you look good.

Announcer: Hi little Susie, hows your mother?

Little Susie: She died giving birth to a monster. (Starts crying.)

Announcer: Thats great! Hey do you know what cheers me up when I feel sad?

Little S: W-what?

Announcer: Knowing I'm smoking hot, kind of like the fire your dad died in.

Little S: (Crys louder)

Announcer: Aww its not all bad. You a kid, but when you were created you rolled an 18 in appearance other wise known as the APP stat.

Little S: R-really?

Announcer: Sure! So what does that mean? Well there are a lot of things it means. Once your a woman or even a young adult you'll be super sexy. That means lots of monsters will want to rape your little brains out.

Little S: No! I dont want to be raped!

Announcer: Well good news! The curse of beauty is also a gift! Though it doesn't make you a better lier, it does make you a good slut! Now you dont have to act like one, but given the skills that are based on APP are: Seduce, Preform Sexual acts, and Teasing; You can see why I would say that.

Little S: But I want to be a mage and read books.

Announcer: You wont have time for those things in the world today. Instead you'll need to know how to increase you opponents Lust Points or LP, that way they fall into a rut and fuck themselves if you dont. How you ask? Why let me give you the break down:

Attacking for LP increases works like this:

-First you take your CHA and APP mod. Now add them together. This makes your Att bonus to lust attacks. Now, and here is where some get confused. The Lust damage you deal equals your app + 1d6. If, and only if, your opponent hates your race then you only roll 1d4 instead of 1d6.

-every turn you must roll 1d100 and roll above your lust score. If you fail too you must find some way to relive yourself, wither that means jacking off or fucking your little under age cunt with your fingers if you have nothing else, thought there are plenty of monsters that would love to use you.

-Lastly, you may get rid of a number of lust points equal to your CON score each time you orgasm.

(Snaps his fingers and Little Susie grows into a bombshell bimbo and giggles.)

Announcer: Under stand?

Bimbo Susie: Yes mister DM sir. (she gets on her knees and begins blowing the DM)






I Hope this little instructional helped clarify what the APP stat is for. I'm the DM and I approve this message.

Wisdom and Dexterity, MOST POWERFUL ATTRIBUTES IN TEH WORLD!  ;D

Looking forward to seeing what trouble the two most religious people in Daggermark can get into~  haha

[Meliai]

Pooooooor little Suzie, just can't catch a break...

Wisdom and Dexterity, MOST POWERFUL ATTRIBUTES IN TEH WORLD!  ;D

Oh man tell me about it. I'm playing a Lore Oracle in my RL group's Jade Regent game and she's got an ability that lets me swap her charisma bonus in in place of her dex bonus for AC and Reflex saves. If Cade's Dex score wasn't already really great I'd be tempted to take a dip into Oracle just for that.

Speaking of trouble, if anyone would like to have some sort of pre-existing tie to Cade let me know! It sounds like she's the only real resident of Daggermark (been there about a year and a half) and depending on how large the city is she might be a somewhat well-known figure, depending on what circles you're traveling in. Her church does your standard Good-aligned charity stuff and they'd probably be present anywhere where art, music or dance is featured.

Since she's a paladin and an Aasimar and their churches are aligned I assume Cade would at least know there was someone of Linea's description visiting.

I imagine that they probably know each other, Linea is basically helping out when/where she can, and a friendly church in the city would be one of her first stops to see what she could do to help   :-)

Now that's what I call a hand's on lesson!

Got no complaints with that explanation on how Appearance works, sounds like an excellent way to incorporate CoC into Pathfinder.

As to Amin knowing anyone else in the party... I doubt it. He'll have probably been in Daggermark for a week, looking for work and taking in gossip from the locals, so he wouldn't have time to peruse the local churches.

[Re Z L]

Any new news?  ;)

[MrBubbles]

Hope there's good news. Really looking forward to this campaign, it'd be a terrible shame if anything happened to it.

[Antipaladin of Calista]

The bad news: I was horribly sunburned and burned in general at the tanning bed.

The good news. I'm back now for the most part and will begin the campaign before friday.

Eeew, glad to hear you're doing better   :-)

[Antipaladin of Calista]

Alright kids, its going down. Tonight is the night we start. Everything is in place. The only question is:

Do any of you know what roll20.net is and would you want to do the rp on there?

[MrBubbles]

Got no experience with Roll20, the closest thing I've used like it was MapTools.

I can see Roll20 being useful for combat, but for everything else I'd rather have a thread.

[Re Z L]

Yea, I'd rather just do a play-by-post, less worry about who can be on when and for how long.

[Meliai]

My RL group has used roll20 a couple times when the DM only had a digital copy of a map and it's a pretty nifty tool, but I'd definitely prefer a thread for most things. Like Mr. B said it could be handy for combat though, easier than updating a jpg map every time someone moves.

[SakamotoHD]

Too late to throw in my interest?

[Anon315]

I concur with the other opinions expressed. And yes, we've already got our group Sakamoto, but thanks for your interest.

[Re Z L]

well, we busted another deadline  ;D

[Anon315]

The threads are up, he just hasn't done anything with them:

IC
OOC

[MrBubbles]

College finals were both this week and last, maybe he's a student and got caught up in cramming? Hopefully we'll see some updates soon!
