A friendly Kitsune looking for Pathfinder

[Vergil Tanner]

Hey Liz! I have a question. Would you consider allowing a port of a weapon from 5e? The weapon I had in mind was the Elven Thinblade. It's basically a d8 rapier, but you need exotic weapon proficiency to use it. Would that be possible?

[OyabunKobold]

I think they got those in pf

Ah ha found it!

[Vergil Tanner]

I don't think they do. They have Rapiers, but not Thin blades.

[OyabunKobold]

They got thorn blades which grant +2 to crit confirms

There's also the Elven Curve Blade.

[Vergil Tanner]

Yes, but the Thorn Blades aren't Finessable. Thinblades are.

And the Curve Blades are two handed. Thinblades are one handed. :P

[Chanticleer]

Yes, but the Thorn Blades aren't Finessable. Thinblades are.

And the Curve Blades are two handed. Thinblades are one handed. :P

True. But they're also finesseable. :)

[Vergil Tanner]

Yes, but the Viking Fighter is gonna be a sword and shield build. I need to work out if a couple non-paizo published things are acceptable, because if so the Dex Build is probably the best option to make that work. And you can't use a shield at the same time as a two handed weapon :P

The option I'm considering pitching to Codey is that to make a Shield Bash Fighter work, you need to have TWF. There's a Trait that lets you treat Heavy Shields as light weapons. If the Thinblade is acceptable, that's a d8 Finessable one handed weapon (though being Exotic, it would burn a feat to use it). If Deadly Agility (Path of War, 3rd party) is acceptable as well, that allows light and finessable weapons to add dex to damage instead of strength. I'm thinking this, because otherwise we have to split points between Dex AND strength, which hurts the build overall. Better to dump strength entirely, if at all possible.

  Thornblades are finessable, but their damage is d6 rather than d8. Thinblades actually first appeared in 3.5 (that I know of, they might have been in 2E as well). They were printed in Races of the Wild, along with the lightblade and courtblade. The thinblade was an exotic one handed melee weapon, a rapier that dealt 1d8 damage. It cost 100 gold pieces (silver pieces).

  However, a shields armour check penalty applies to attack rolls when using Weapon Finesse.

[Vergil Tanner]

So a Thinblade would be acceptable?
Would Deadly Agility (Path of War feat: Any finessable weapon gets Dex to Damage instead of Str) be acceptable as well?

And yhup, I know! But Darkwood Shields exist. ;)

[LisztesFerenc]

  Yeah, thinblade and Deadly Agility are both acceptable.

[Vergil Tanner]

Awesome, thanks! They might not be used - we might go a different route entirely - but it's good to know what the options are :-)

[OyabunKobold]

Interesting a viking with rapiers.

Im used to seeing vikings with axes so this will be fun to see.

[LisztesFerenc]

The option I'm considering pitching to Codey is that to make a Shield Bash Fighter work, you need to have TWF. There's a Trait that lets you treat Heavy Shields as light weapons. If the Thinblade is acceptable, that's a d8 Finessable one handed weapon (though being Exotic, it would burn a feat to use it).

I'm thinking this, because otherwise we have to split points between Dex AND strength, which hurts the build overall. Better to dump strength entirely, if at all possible.

  Unless she is trading away weapon familiarity, that trait will allow her to treat thinblades as a martial weapon since they have the word elven in their title. That will save a feat, which she needs even as a fighter since combining two weapon fighting and a shield will be costly. Two weapon fighting, weapon finesse, deadly agility and improved shield bash, I think that's all her feats already spent with this build.

[Vergil Tanner]

The other option is to go half elf and take the alternate trait "Ancestral Arms," but yeah, that's basically what I was thinking.

[Vergil Tanner]

Sorry guys, I know it's taking a while. 14 hour time differences are a bitch. >.>

[OyabunKobold]

its fine lol dont be sorry for wanting to help out your friend getting in a game. We are all adults here and I am willing to be patient for a full party.

Besides this gives Lisztes time to come up with fun inventive ways to make our lives harder :P

[Chanticleer]

No rush here, as OK said, it gives our DM time to think of more deviltry. :)

[LisztesFerenc]

  Yeah, absolutly no rush. Its only been a day at this point. If they need something to keep them occupied, d`Athos and Sasska can always hammer out their characters starting relationship anyway.

[Codexa]

Hey guys!!

Thanks for the welcome and all the hellos!

I needed time to recharge after a extremely busy weekend.

^.^

[OyabunKobold]

sall good like i said in my OP I work 6:30 am to 4 pm 6 days a week MST IM not too worried about a bit of hiccup to get started

[Vergil Tanner]

Hey guys!

So, we hope to have at least most of the sheet done by the end of the weekend. If we fail to get that done, though, things might be...choppy.

One thing that I thought I'd suggest that if Codey's bio takes much longer, we could always whip up some threads and start playing, and just have Codey join at a slightly later time? It wouldn't take much to do, just say that she's been on an errand and is meeting up with Lucian at a later date. Just to keep interest in this alive :D

[OyabunKobold]

We got the time :3 Sasska and I haven't really talked yet about just how much our characters have talked or know about each other.

[Chanticleer]

We got the time :3 Sasska and I haven't really talked yet about just how much our characters have talked or know about each other.

How long have they been on the ship? I am picturing Sasska during the early days of the voyage staggering around being seasick and mumbling unhappy things in Draconic under her breath. It's not a very common language, and since D'Artagnan knows it, and knows a bit about kobolds, that might lead to some conversation. If the voyage is very long, then Sasska would probably end up talking to Dart quite a bit, especially if he explains to her how he came to have a kobold brother.

[Codexa]

Chanticleer....

I seriously love your name. Reminds me of a movie I loved growing up. :P

Rock-a-Doodle.

Ahem.

Got the fluff written for my character, just the mechanics left.

Which is the hardest part for me. xD
