Lost on the Planes (Recruitment Thread)

[Anon315]

@Muse:  The way I'm envisioning this game thus far is to have people bounce in and out over various scenarios, so everyone (if they remain interested) should get a chance at some point or another to try out their characters.  Each scenario would take up to 6 players, and once completed, a new scenario will be put up and a chance for different players to step up their characters for the challenge.  So if you have something in mind, feel free to post it up!

Seeing as there is still a bit of development going on, I think I will set the start date for the first adventure scenario on 14th July to give everyone time to solidify their character concepts.  It will come as no surprise that the first adventure will be to get the ship-base flying again and back in order.  I think I'll have the custom campaign traits I've been working on by the 10th.  If I did miss anybody's queries, just bring them to my attention via PM (there was a lot to look over!)

To those asking the question.

I think I'll back out. There are just too many people, I can't see myself keeping up. I'll do something crazy like go to bed, look at the thread the next day, see I've missed over a page of posts and go "Okay screw this". Besides, I find myself going "Oh oh oh I want to play thi-WAIT NO I WANT TO PLAY THAT INSTEA- oh oh oh! I could play..."

Disregard that, if there's only a handful of players in any given scenario it should be fine. After all, I do like the game idea, it is still something I want to do.

I'll put the Bard together, as long as Chulanowa really is fine with me doing that shtick this time round.

Huzzah!

On another note, I will have the finalised list of ship jobs (with what they entail) and officer prerequisites up by tomorrow (fingers crossed!) so that people can have a clearer idea of how to build their characters.

On another note, for the benefit of players, if anyone wants to co-GM in this game, to run concurrent missions so that some people aren't on the sidelines whilst one group is playing, just let me know.  (I'll put up a proper add in the GM section as soon as time allows, but just in case I thought I'd start here).

Given the amount of interest you've had that's probably an excellent idea.

[SheerFantasia]

Same question as autocad.  Also, any 3.5 material available? 

Well be sticking mostly to Pathfinder material - some 3.5 material will be on a case for case basis only, though not classes (in my experience, the two have never meshed well together, despite claims otherwise)

Go for it! Like I said, always playing the "face" character gets old. besides, I've got a wizard in the oven!

...or maybe it's a cleric. one or t'other!

Why she's on the ship:
Alluan was an orphan, with most guesses being that her parents were mostly human, with some elven ancestry. The signs show that somewhere down the line there was a Lillend, but people don't tend to keep track of family trees for the non-royalty. At any rate, with her parents dead in one of the various wars against one of the various threats, her story was pretty much hers alone - not carrying on the legacy of her forebears. Always a delight to those around her, and a teller of tales, Alluan wanted to see the world and explore, to make a name for herself.

She did her share of travelling before joining the crew on this ship, she already had a few tales and adventures under her belt - and a fair amount of treasure to boot. Granted, nobody can be quite sure if she's telling the truth about the time her old group killed a dragon as big as a mountain and that she just spent her share of the gold on wands and scrolls which have largely been used already...

Likes, dislikes, quirks and sexy stuff:
Above all else, Alluan abhors tyranny and bullying, and anything that resembles them. She can follow orders and work with a team, letting someone else be the leader, as long as the cause is just, but she doesn't tolerate tyrants. She's been known to enjoy a few drinks... and to be quite the entertainer afterwards, with her dances getting her arrested on a few occasions. Drunken stripping-for-all-viewers aside, she seems to only have an eye for other females, and is soft, loving and tender in contrast with her usual wild shows. That being said, she refuses to ever use magic to get someone into bed - though augmenting an already consensual encounter is another matter entirely.

[Green Goo Theory]

Well be sticking mostly to Pathfinder material - some 3.5 material will be on a case for case basis only, though not classes (in my experience, the two have never meshed well together, despite claims otherwise)

It was classes specifically that I would've wanted to included considering Pathfinder's current selection.  I'll just have to try to think up something else.  Probably a few feats at the very least, maybe.  But i'll cover them specifically I guess.

Also, depends on the classes you tried to mesh with Pathfinder.  Some 3.5 classes don't even mesh with other 3.5 classes let alone Pathfinder classes. 

[SheerFantasia]

Alrighty then!  The second post has been updated with the Officer and crew positions, along with their requirements.

[Phaia]

@Phaia: I do like that idea.  After a little review, I'll consider the following: everyone allocates a solid 30 lbs. from their weight allowance (i.e. a floating 30 lbs. that is always on them); they have 150 gp floating equipment bonus until 8th level were they have 200 gp, and 250 gp at 12th level.  Sound good to you? (or anyone else for that matter?)

The idea I took this from was this....

Deep Pockets (Ex)
A Pathfinder chronicler collects items as well as lore, picking up small amounts of this or that throughout her travels. As a result, she may carry unspecified equipment worth up to 100 gp per class level. This can be any kind of gear that can reasonably fit into a backpack, including potions and scrolls (but not any other sort of magic item). As a full-round action, the chronicler may dig through her pockets to retrieve an item she specifies at that time, deducting its value from the allocated amount of cost. This item cannot weigh more than 10 pounds. When the total remaining cost reaches 0, the chronicler can retrieve no more items until she refills her deep pockets by spending a few hours and an amount of gold to bring her total up to 100 gp per class level.

In addition, if she takes 1 hour to pack her gear each day, she gains a +4 bonus to Strength to determine her light encumbrance. This does not affect her maximum carrying capacity. The efficient distribution of weight simply encumbers her less than the same amount of weight normally should. Finally, the Pathfinder chronicler gains a +4 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made to conceal small objects on her person.

I have no problem with using your offer and will happily avoid writing out all the various things she may stuck down in her backpack!!

She is just the Cook!!

The story of a cook!
Rainna smiled from the shadow of her food cart as the sounds of shouting drifted down from the near completed ship. "....it Tastes like MUSH AGAINNN!.... ruined a steakkk!!..." The crew and workers on the massive ship tried to find things to do away from the main deck as the Captian railed at the Ships head cook. She could almost tell the exact moment when the captain fired his cook. It was only minutes later that the harried tall thin male fled down the gang plank. Now Rainna would never ever admit it but things had worked out so far as she had hoped. She had spent the past 6 weeks with her cart serving the workers and the crew her fine stew as well as various other things from meat on sticks to fish fired and seasoned. The cart held all she owned, from her magic pack, to the fine made pots and pans she had invested in when she had heard of the ship and its mission.

Now though if things worked as she hoped she could leave the anicent cart and join the crew. It had taken time to set things up. The right curse on the head cook had taken time to work out, she after all did not want him dead, just anything he made ruined and food he bought rotted. She had dropped hints to the crew that had crowded her cart that she was looking for a new adventure and a way to leave the area. So it was no real surprise that an hour after the departure of the former cook the capatin himself walked up and took a bowl of stew. The first bite had him smile and the second brought a sigh of content to his lips. That was what it took to seal the deal...he gave her a week to see how she would do and that became two then a third as the ship was finished. By the time they set sail she was the Head cook feeding the crew and the officers and guests better then they had had in some time.

Rainna just hoped the Inquistors of the Church of Deawon could not follow where she was going. She never wanted to go back to being a slave and she would kill whoever she had too this time to stay free!

Cackle: Cackle madly as a move action. Any creature that is within 30 feet that is under the effects of an agony hex, charm hex, evil eye hex, fortune hex, or misfortune hex caused by the witch has the duration of that hex extended by 1 round.
Fortune: Grant a creature within 30 feet a bit of good luck for 1 round. Once per round, reroll any ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, taking the better result.
Flight: 6 minutes per day. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments. This hex only affects the witch.
Misfortune: Cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result.

so cooky is done with how she got on board....

Sheer did ya need a more indepth background for her!

Phaia

[CarnivalOfTheGoat]

For every Cook that works under the Head Cook, the kitchen can produce meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for up to 6 people on board the ship (e.g. if the Sasskiana has a crew of 20, it will require a team of 4 Cooks, to make enough food during the course of a day).  Cooks answer to the Head Cook of the ship.[/i]

The Great Ramsey sneers. Food for six? These people would never last in the restaurant biz!

Ouch, Quartermaster just got a lot more costly, but the language requirement for negotiating with provisioners is apparent. Hm.

Come to think of it, Physician would make a lot more sense for an alchemist, given their special alchemical bonuses. A healer who relied purely on healing magic and couldn't whip up batches of potions would have more trouble keeping a crew of 60 up on their feet when sickness hits the ship (and gamemaster intentions or not, that's realistically what you're looking for more often than surgery) than someone who had alchemical capabilities. Is one of our magical healers going to apply for that role? Or shall I? *Starts juggling points in both directions on two separate sheets.*

Also...Crew gain diversely useful bonuses (okay, some obviously more useful than others) but officers (who have much, much larger investment of skill ranks than many crew) don't gain any particular bonuses besides their position? There's just a vast contrast between the Deckhand (4 ranks investment, gains a feat), the Entertainer (avoiding Surprise = huge), and diverse of the officers who have to expend feats and as many as 20 skill ranks (!) for...The shiny nameplate on their office door. And some of the feats are not 'class' feats...And some classes are extremely feat-starved.

I would like to nominate Master Alchemist as a possible Feat reward for the Physician's investment, perhaps Augment Summoning or Elemental Channel for the Master Artificer, Master Craftsman for the Master Carpenter, Master Navigator is tough...Skill Focus: Profession (Navigator)?, Helm Master perhaps Lightning Reflexes, and...Hmmmm. For Quartermaster and Master of Scouts I'm not really sure...Mounted Combat, perhaps, for the MoS?

Dang, Quartermaster is hard. How about Master of the Ledger but applying "when dealing with anyone of your profession" to "when dealing with any merchant?"

I apologize for what probably seems like a rather critical post, but it just seems to me that the officers are spending massive amounts of skill ranks and (for most of them) at least one feat with very little return.

Tossing my hat into the ring with a Sylph Gunslinger.  I'll have a sheet by this weekend!

[Chulanowa]

BLAGH! Still struggling on this. I'd really like to make my Wizard. But two wizards would just be a lot of overlap. The group is screaming for a heavy fighter-type... but right now my only solid idea for a heavy fighter (barbarian / Fighter / Cavalier / paladin / samurai) isn't on the approved list of races (I could probably think of something besides the gnollish badass living in my head, but it's what i have at the moment)... because I'm such a damned snowflake  >:)

Anyone have smart advice?

Kobold heavy fighter. Come on, you know you want to. Run screaming around the edges of the deck menacing boarders. "GET OFF THIS SHIP OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR KNEECAPS."

[Bibliophilia]

My little Gunner First Class is coming along nicely.  She's surly, loves to drink and has a strangely intimate affection for her weapons.

It's not complete, but this is what I have so far.

Kobold heavy fighter. Come on, you know you want to. Run screaming around the edges of the deck menacing boarders. "GET OFF THIS SHIP OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR KNEECAPS."

Bonus points for using a club (or similar blunt object) bigger than you.

[SheerFantasia]

First update, I've reduced the requirements for Deckhand so as to make it an easy entry-level position that everyone should have been able to enlist on board the ship with, and most of the bonuses of the other crew positions have been revised.

Also added significant NPCs section to the second post.


@Phaia: Plenty has been provided so all is well!

@CarnivalOfTheGoat:  Well, food for 6 over the period of an entire day (and not stains on a plate either, lol).  I've adjusted the crew bonuses, but as for the Officer positions, the reason they don't have equivalent bonuses is because they will be subject to unique opportunities for advancement (hmm, now that I look at it, I didn't make that obvious; I'll amend that).  BTW, loved the 'warm bloods are exotic' panel (I wonder if its something to come...)

@Bibliophilia:  Welcome Bibliophilia!  I was wondering when someone was going to offer up a gunslinger!

[Ghostwheel]

Updated my original post with my character's background.

[Bibliophilia]

Amazing list, Carnival!  Kivana is going to take a Gunner's position, by the way.
