The Hive Queen's Dominion (Hardcore, Extreme MxM, Pathfinder game)

[PaleEnchantress]

I tried getting this going many months ago and it didn't work out. Let me polish it up and try again.

The plot is heavily sexual, but does include classic adventuring and some political play as well. It's Pathfinder/3.5, or 3.P as it's often called. I'll be running us through a modification of the Kingmaker Adventure Path. Kingmaker deals with the sandbox like setting where the PC's start their own Kingdom in a rather untamed frontier. Many factions seek to stop them while even some of the ones helping them do so only to use them. Queenmaker is a more appropriate term for this though. I'll be playing Eiseth Zenunim, who the plot partly revolves around.

D&D Plot: Eiseth Zenunim enjoyed the favor of patroness and distant relative The Queen of Air and Darkness but that wasn't enough. He spent his whole life among the immortal fey knowing that he wasn't really one of them; that eventually he would grow old and die. He had a great talent for the arcane with the drive of his mortal ancestors and the creativity of the unseelie fey. His biggest breakthrough was the creation of a hive of vampiric bees that would suck the blood and life from others and turn it into a "Blood Honey" that would rejuvenate those who consumed it. He thought the royal jelly they made would be the key to his immortality. It did grant him his wish, but only after it nearly killed him. When he arose he wasn't the same anymore, the bees had eaten out most of his internal organs and made their hive inside of him. They were not parasites, they were part of him. They were his children and he their queen. He couldn't stay with the unseelie, it was time to bring his rule to the material plane. Besides, the swarm needed to grow.

I'm looking for one more player to play one of the men (Characters are male the players can be any gender I dont care) who will become "Queen" EIseth's mates. He's still entirely male, and it isn't really M-Preg in anything but a tangential sense that whatever he does when he mates lets him birth more bees (his "Children"). He wants to strap the men down and force them to spew their load again and again. Exp will come mostly from this act. Your character might start very willing or reluctant, but eventually they will be fanatical supporters of "His Majesty the Queen". Looking at the other players I could use someone who starts as a fanatical supporter, his dark knight or whatever. Your character will go through bodily changes from magical toxins and hormones Eiseth pumps into you. Extreme genital growth is guaranteed and some muscle growth seems likely. You could gain mutations which act like grafts and Eiseth could lay his eggs inside of you if you wanted to do that, though I haven't planned it. I'm flexible. The Hive Queen needs the supercharged semen of strong virile men. When he isn't mating or drinking your blood we will be working on carving a place for ourselves in Faerun. Eiseth is a sadist, you can look at my profile for some idea of that might go on. There will be CBT, public Nudity, humiliation, master and slave, piercing and branding, Maybe some petplay or even temporary castration and body altering and other things. A Major BDSM theme is small dom big sub with Eiseth being smaller, physically weaker and "prettier" then the beefcakes he enslaves.

You have a lot of flexibility on what your character is but I have some great ideas if you don't have anything that springs to mind. We will start 8th level. Please post or message me if you are interested.

House Rules

Relics: If you want to use relics you may claim any two as relics of your deity. You still need to meet other requirements to use them.

Armor: We are using the defense bonus rule from unearthed arcana, you may still wear armor if you chose. You may add armor enhancement special abilities (Like fortification) to other defensive items if you chose not to wear armor. You get one item for armor abilities, one for shield abilities so they do not stack indefinately.

Traits and Flaws: Instead of flaws you get an extra feat at level 1 free. You may chose two traits, feel free to change the flavor of the traits to something more sexual. The Hive Queen has or will alter you so it's a great reason to applying traits.

Stats: Pathfinder 20 point buy.

[Kunoichi]

I think I'll express tentative interest.  The first thing that sprang to mind when reading through your write-up was that I could be a Goliath or some other species with the Powerful Build trait.  Maybe tack on the Primordial Giant template from Secrets of Xen'drik and be a Warlock or whatever the Pathfinder equivalent is...

[PaleEnchantress]

Most 3.5 stuff is legal in my games. Kingmaker seems fun enough for me to actually give DMing a go.

[PaleEnchantress]

ALSO HIIIII!

[Kunoichi]

Hello. ;D It's been a little while since we've been in a game together, hasn't it?

[LisztesFerenc]

  Do you have all the player you need for this game then? You said "I'm looking for one more player" but then you say "Looking at the other players". Was that meant to be singular?

  If you are still looking for players I would consider a Half-minotaur Voidmind Moon Elf / Totemist 4. Basically a moon elf with the templates representing the changes to his body and mind done so far by Eiseth and the totemist class his new abilites (he doesn't shape soulmelds from energy but rather grows them with magically infused flesh from his own body at the start of the day).

  Is there room for him?

[PaleEnchantress]

I did not mean to say one more. Im hoping for a total of 4 or 5 including myself but it can work with as few as 3 including myself.

Thats an amazing concept for it btw

[LisztesFerenc]

  Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The half-minotaur actually fits rather well with the insect motif, as insects are more sensitive to chemical traces in the air and the magnetic field of the earth, that explains the scent and know north ability granted by the template. Horns can become stag beetle horns or mandibles. The bonus to save against maze spell is a bit tougher, but is pretty situational and can be fluffed as his mind being fragmented from the parasite, so one half of the mind whispers tips to the other.
  The voidmind likewise requires a bit of refluffing. The psychic slime that replaces the brain can become an implanted parasite, maybe a castrated former queen candidate from the Hive. The tentacle can be a centipede or a stinger with a detachable hook. The immunity to acid and slime cone ability can be the result from being pumped full of hormones.

  Backstory wise I'm thinking Carric was a scholar in originally, a champion of the un-respected sciences, like the study of insects. He had theories on advanced social structures and hive minds, but could not get his people to care about the topic. Then there was a rumour of infestation of blood sucking bees in a nearby village. More interested in mundane insects, Carric nevertheless headed out, hoping that playing a part in defeating them would earn him some respect from his peers. He joined a group of adventurers, having impressed them with his knowledge of insects, and they tracked the hive of the bees. Things did not go to plan as they were captured, their viability tested. The adventurers all failed and where disposed of. Carric passed. What happened after that will need to be worked out between the two of us.

  Aesthetics-wise should I limit his mutations/augmentations to bees, or can I use other insects?

[Kunoichi]

Hmm, now there's a thought.  Assuming LiztesFerenc doesn't mind being the only one of Eiseth's experiments on the team, I could make a character who uses the Entomanothrope template.  Basically, a lycanthrope, but based on Vermin, rather than Animals.  If I could then manage to work in a little Warshaper, I could have a pretty fun and deadly shapechanger to play...

Edit: Giant Yellowjacket for the base Vermin, perhaps, with some sort of blood drinking ability a added on to represent the vampiric bee part?  The Pheromone ability could affect both LF's character and Eiseth whenever it gets turned on, as well, maybe...

[LisztesFerenc]

  Go for it, I don't mind. Could be a good contrast to our characters if you could possibly pass for a regular humanoid until you shapeshift whilst I am eternally the image of a monster.

[Kunoichi]

True, we could have an interesting rivalry going. ;)

Also, considering that the alignment change from lycanthropy is generally flavored as resulting from the animal's instincts overwriting those of the base creature, I can't help but imagine providing the Mistress with her very own army of afflicted entomanothropes...

[PaleEnchantress]

We will be using the Kingdom Building, Exploration, and Mass Combat systems from pathfinder. An entomanthrope unit would be fitting and completely workable. In 3.5 Templated and LA's are over-costed so you'll both get your LA -1


Let me find the link for the free Kingmaker players guide. Each player as well as some NPC's will have a role in the government and its usually best to know which you'll want ahead of time.

[Kunoichi]

Works for me. ^^ That'll bring my LA down to +1, which is in line with the CR+1 of the Pathfinder Lycanthrope template.  Could I take one other cue from the Pathfinder Lycanthrope template and ditch the bonus Vermin HD?  I can go Full BAB Class 4/Warshaper 3 and get some really good abilities that way.

[PaleEnchantress]

Let me check the pathfinder Lycanthrope template if you're getting massive stat boosts, taking out the racial HD seems a bit too much. WHat insect were you planning on?

Edit: If what you gain from the template is in line with that of the pathfinder lycanthrope template than yes. +1 is all thats required.

[LisztesFerenc]

  That will bring my LA down to +3, although given how strong the half-minotaur template is the original +4 may have been more in line. If it stays at +3 I'll add an extra level of totemist. I'll start refluffing the soulmeld's and chakra binds to have an insect appearance. What method are we using for stats? Given the large modifiers the templates give I want to see what I am working with so that I can pin down what sort of mental state my character can be in.

[Kunoichi]

Edit: Giant Yellowjacket for the base Vermin, perhaps, with some sort of blood drinking ability a added on to represent the vampiric bee part?  The Pheromone ability could affect both LF's character and Eiseth whenever it gets turned on, as well, maybe...

^That one.  It's third party, but in terms of stat boosts, it's actually weaker than the core Giant Wasp. ^^; I mostly picked it for the bite attack and the Pheromone ability, which I thought could add some interesting flavor to those more intimate non-combat scenes.

The second level of Warshaper also adds a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution while transformed, so getting really high stats is actually part of the build...

Edit: If what you gain from the template is in line with that of the pathfinder lycanthrope template than yes. +1 is all thats required.

We should probably keep it at its original +2, if that's the case.  It gets a few extra things that lycanthropes don't get, to reflect the insectile theme.

I give it my blessing. If the finished product has anything I find objectionable we can discuss it. Ill probably allow the pheromones to work not just on insects of your type but anyone who's infected by His Majesty's Hivemind. I havn't decided if I'm going to use a modified version of the Tacticians "Collective" feature or a modified version of Necrotic Cyst for The Queen's Hivemind.

[PaleEnchantress]

Where can I find the Half Minotaur Template?

Also Kingmaker (or Queenmaker in our case) Players guide. We are using a 20 point buy in the pathfinder system, works a tad different than 3.5 pointbuy. Dont forget while you are breed machines for a Hive Queen he still works on human(ish) standards of attractive. Have fun with augmentations just don't go so far you look like an advespa. As leas in your human form (for you shapeshifters)

[LisztesFerenc]

  Okay, I won't go too crazy with the aesthetics. Some changes can be internal, and the soulmelds are not part of his body, rather fleshy pieces of equipment.

  Half-Minotaur is from dragon magazine. I wouldn't consider using it normally, but I needed a raw power boost to make up for void mind, but I can rework it if you don't want me using dragon material.

Oh its from the same issue as half nymph and half satyr. Feel free to take it. You'll be quite a horny boy. You'll need that strength to hold up the massive set of semen producing balls you'll have =P

[Kunoichi]

I'm thinking of being a Catfolk for my base humanoid form. ^^ I'm also thinking I'll draw a little inspiration from the dragonball z character Zarbon, as far as personality goes.  Someone vain and arrogant, very prideful of his own beauty, he considers his humanoid form to be sensual and charming, and his insect form to be sleek perfection, but sees his hybrid form as an ugly compromise between those two aesthetic approaches.  That won't stop him from getting ugly when the situation calls for it, but it does lead to him having something of a dislike of combat as a result.  He'll much prefer to play the diplomat, instead.

Crusader, go sword and board for my fighting style, take the Antagonize feat to help put those Diplomacy skills to use in combat...

Trying to see if I have any picts for that. Crusader sounds like a really awesome choice. Youd fit the "General" position easily but could do royal asassin or warden instead.

[Kunoichi]

I was thinking General as well, especially given the whole 'were-bee army' thing he could get going. :P I'm looking for images for him, myself, so if you find any good ones, feel free to send them my way.

[PaleEnchantress]

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Number One thought was these guys



Others . . .

[Kunoichi]

Hmm.  The one with the massive sword, tattoos, and chainmail man-bikini looks oddly appealing...

My first thought was to try and find a good picture of this obscure character called Guin, but I wasn't sure how you'd feel about the leopard head.  If that wouldn't be an objection, I could probably find a much better image with a little searching.

[PaleEnchantress]

If you wanted a non sexualized Hybrid Form I found one. If you want a sexy monster Hybrid form I may have those too




Sadly the leopard head really kills it for me. I can deal with monstrous or animal features but a straight up animal head just is a major turn off. The other war around like a human head and torso and lion body is cool.

[Kunoichi]

Okay, that works extremely well for a hybrid form. ^^ And for the humanoid form, I'll see if I can find a nice, muscular image that has some feline features without going overboard.

The other thing I need to come up with is a name.  I almost want to try calling him Beelzebub, but that feels a bit too punny for my tastes.

[PaleEnchantress]

Do you have a Y1 Gallary account? I might be able to find studly cat men on there

[Kunoichi]

I don't, unfortunately.  If you find anything good, feel free to send it my way. ^^

[Kunoichi]

So, I've got part of a character sheet (the stats are for my hybrid form) completed.  I'm onto equipment now, but there are a few things I need to ask permission on.  First, for my racial choice...

Alternate Racial Traits

The following alternate racial traits may be selected in place of one or more of the standard racial traits above. Consult your GM before selecting any of these new options.

    Clever Cat Catfolk's generally friendly disposition doesn't preclude craftiness. Some of them see social obstacles as games to be played and won. These catfolk receive a +2 racial bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive checks. This racial trait replaces natural hunter.
    Scent Some catfolk favor a keen sense of smell over sensitive sight. Catfolk with this racial trait gain the scent ability. This racial trait replaces the low-light vision racial trait.

And next, speaking of equipment, being able to transform like I can tends to present a bit of a challenge on that front, particularly in terms of armor.  I do have a solution in mind for that dilemma, but since it runs into the realm of custom magic items, obviously I'll need to run it by you first.

Page 170 of the Magic Item Compendium has the Psychoactive Skin of Ectoplasmic Armor.  Statistically, it's basically Full Plate armor, only it counts as light armor for the purpose of affecting class features and movement, and it's a slotless magic item.

When the Skin of Ectoplasmic Armor was first published in Complete Psionic, however, it took up the body slot and, following the general guidelines for magic item pricing, it only cost half as much as the version in the MIC.  That's the version I'm hoping to purchase and, since it's an item that occupies the body slot, I'm hoping I'll be able to enchant it as armor, as well.

[PaleEnchantress]

Short Answer to Kunoichi: Yes to everything.


Long Answer to Equipment Question: First of all any normal armor you had would easily fit both human and hybrid forms of your character. Secondly many defensive item like ectoplastic armor, most robes, or bracers of armor can be further enhances with armor crystals, and armor abilities at the same cost as standard armor. That shield ring can work for shield enhancements too. This is just an expansion of a suggested variant rule from way back.


For those who chose to fight without armor at all we are using this variant rule as well. The highest armor source is what you get. So if your character wore no armor and had bracers of armor +1 of fortification. You would have a +8 armor bonus and the fortification property. This is partly due to the erotic nature of the campaign to allow fighting in very little clothing if desired.  One notable difference is Defense bonus is like any armor and does NOT apply to touch attacks unlike what the variant rule says.

[PaleEnchantress]

Added a tab for house rules.

[Kunoichi]

Ah, I see.  From the looks of things, I'm guessing that LF's levels in Totemist will get him column B for his defense bonus.  Given that he's only going to be proficient with light armor, he'll probably be able to make better use of the Skin of Ectoplasmic Armor than I could.  Instead, looking over the guidelines on page 235 of the MIC, I think my money will be better spent getting a custom version of Bracers of Armor +1 that takes up the Body slot, and then tossing on alternate bonuses.  Enhancement to Natural Armor and Deflection should be good.

Plus, I can toss on the Glamered property and walk around practically naked without anyone else knowing. :P

Though, since you bring up the Ring of Force Shielding, I note that a custom continuous magic item of Shield would give twice the shield bonus, but at less than half the price.  Would that be allowed?  Perhaps as some special customized Bracers of Shielding, and with further shield enchantments added on top of that?

Continuous low level spell custom items are not allowed. At least not at the very low pricing they have. No 2,000 gold ioun stones of +4 armor and the like. Custom items are allowed on a case by case basis. In this game wealth will probably exceed expected wealth by character level by quite a bit. I don't want to make it go out of balance exponentially by allowing custom items at a fraction of what they should cost.

[Kunoichi]

Fair enough. ^^ I'll take the 8,500 gp ring, then.

[PaleEnchantress]

For Eiseth's religion (and through that likely the kingdoms religion) im debating between Lamashtu, Ilsensine, Ardad Li, and Zon-Kuthon and Socothbenoth.

[Kunoichi]

Well, if we can get another player on here, one of the things I'm planning to do is suggest that they play an Illithid, so I'm rather partial to Ilsensine. :P On the other hand, Socothbenoth and Lamashtu both seem really fitting, given the nature of our ruler.

[PaleEnchantress]

Ive got a friend who may join, he's thinking of playing an Ostarion Kyton

[Kunoichi]

An Ostarius Kyton?  Ooh, that could be interesting.  Given that they're CR 5 but have 7 HD, I'm guessing your friend will be taking +2 LA in templates to even that out?

[Kunoichi]

Sorry to double post. ^^; I just wanted to say that my character is completed.  Andiliat, loyal Catfolk knight of the Queen, and General of the Armies.

I also had a bit of an idea for a secondary or backup character.  A mercenary, loyal enough because he's under contract and being well paid, but not a particularly enthusiastic supporter.  At least at first.  But work in a little charm, a little temptation, some of the pleasures and pains of the flesh, and he could eventually be corrupted into another happy member of the Queen's harem.

Although, the twist is that this character would be a Mind Flayer, and his payment would be in brains, so the combination of aberrant psychology and unusual physiology would make him a bit more difficult to sway than some squishy, weak humanoid...

Interesting concept for a back up character. Your character sheet looks great but your equipment seems a little low in value compared to what you should have. You did  take the 33k for being level 8 (even though your 6 hit dice you still get money as a level 8), yes?

[Kunoichi]

I did.  The enchanted hammer and the ring of force shield were both rather expensive items. ^^;

Edit: And now I've ditched the Ring, because I realized I could use the guidelines on MIC page 234 and just add a +1 Deflection bonus and a +1 Enhancement bonus to my Natural Armor, and it would be almost as good, but for less than half the price.

So now I've got a +3 Cloak of Resistance, and I suppose my next priority when gameplay starts will be to find a Strength belt...

[LisztesFerenc]

  I haven't forgotten about this thread, just busy with work until Friday.

[PaleEnchantress]

  I haven't forgotten about this thread, just busy with work until Friday.

Okay, glad to hear it. I was a bit worried

[PaleEnchantress]

Our Likely 3rd is a half elf wilder. He didnt want to be anything too exotic.

[Kunoichi]

That's certainly a fair enough choice.  Eiseth is going to have two magnificent beasts at his command already, after all. ;D

Ah, and I reworked my gear a bit.  I don't have much need for special armor properties at the moment, so I ditched the modified Harness of Armor for a Vestment of Many Styles, from Races of Eberron, and added some additional AC bonuses on top of it.  I had enough money after that to get a Healing Belt with +2 Strength on it, plus a nice cloak that gives me an extradimensional storage space for my weapon.

The actual appearance of all of Andiliat's items except for his lucerne hammer have also been altered a bit to forms that I hope are more pleasing to Eiseth, and I think I'll go a little further and say that they're all crafted from the skin, hair, and bones of various humanoid creatures.  Mechanically, they still function as normal, but in flavor terms, I'd love to say that they meld into the skin when worn, taking the shape of glowing, obviously-magical tattoos and allowing him to be both fully protected and completely naked at the same time.

I'm also working on the character sheet for that Illithid now, more for personal enjoyment than because I think it's likely to be needed.

All well and good. Don't forget that adding a new property to an already magical item costs more than it would to make a new item. 50% more I think. Whether you do it to the healing best itself or the STR bonus is up to you. For game purposes ill assume you added that to the healing belt itself in case you want to upgrade the STR on that belt you'll only have to pay the normal cost since STR is the 'first" property it has.

Any ideas for our characters shared background?
The quick synopsis of the module is that there is a very resource heavy untamed land several neighboring kingdoms want but could cause war should any of them claim it for themselves. So Brevoy sponsors our expedition to found a new kingdom, one they hope to control. First task is to eliminate the bandit lord known as the Stag Lord.  For anyone that doesn't already know Eiseth, Brevoy would be employing them as an addition to the group. Eiseth ensured he would be chosen for the expedition through his own seductive qualities alone with a sample of blood honey to the aging lords of Brevoy.
Our characters certainly knew each other beforehand.  Your character could know him from when he lived in The First World (the realm of the fey) where he was considered a low ranking noble.

[Kunoichi]

Page 234 of the MIC has a listing of 'common item effects' that can be added onto existing magic items at no extra cost.  In my case, the Vestment of Many Styles has a +1 Deflection bonus to AC and a +1 Enhancement bonus to Natural Armor added on, and the Healing Belt's +2 Enhancement bonus to Strength is also one of the available options.  It's a good way to save money and get the most out of your equipment slots at higher levels, and is pretty fun to make use of at lower levels, as well.

As for thoughts on a shared background...  Andiliat could have been taken from the Material Plane as a child, perhaps, raised by the Fey while a Changeling child was left behind in his place.  We could say that he was raised among Seelie Court Fey, that when he grew up, he became a sort of Fey Knight, and champion duelist...

Then, while acting as a second for a senior duelist one day, perhaps a 'handsome nobleman' of the opposite court caught his eye, and since he was Chaotic Good and highly impulsive back then, he stepped into the fight and killed the duelist that had been set up opposite him.  Offering to 'make amends' for this rash act, he entered the Unseelie lord's service in replacement of the knight he had killed, with the intention of wooing him.

Of course, I'm sure you can imagine how well this ended up going down...  And I'll leave it up to you, whether he was first turned to his current Lawful Evil alignment by Eiseth's exquisite torments and then infected with entomanothropy, or whether it was the magical disease that ultimately changed his outlook on life. ^^

[PaleEnchantress]

Thats a perfect backstory. The Seelie are a bunch of racial purists so he probably was being treated a bit like an animal anyway. The Unseelie are more like "More mutations! Lets see what horrors we can create to serve us next!"  So the Seelie said "You're beneath us, little more than an animal, but we must be kind to our lessers. You can be a guardian."  Where the unseelie said "You're beneath us, little more than an animal. That's really useful. You can be a guardian."


A duel over a noble fey's favor is the exact sort of thing that a brash young humanoid could do to impress them. Eiseth for sure. Since he's had your boy for a while that means he's already bred and bled you in the obsidian hive he had in The First World that was destroyed. So you're already massively hung (-2 armor check penalty btw).  The unseelie have quite a few bloodthirsty bitches who style themselves some sort of Nymph Queen that the whole court wanted to get rid of Eiseth before they had another.

*Sings "Which came first the disease or the madness. . . "*  Have to think about which one is richer in plot.

[Kunoichi]

Hmm...  Since I'm taking a -2 acp for being so well-hung, I don't suppose I could also get a secondary slam attack out of it, could I? :P I'm guessing the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask, since it seems like an amusing modification to add.

It would be amusing indeed, but I'm going to say no. Can't blame you for trying though. I actually thought about it! I doubt we could take it very seriously at that point. The Wilder changed to alchemist and we have a demonologist now too.

  Locally I think the penalty should only apply if you are erect, so it could be prevented with a cage or something like that, possibly built into the character's armour. That's what I was going to go with, but maybe that is too much details.

  Seems like despite his large size, Carric will be more of an adaptable melee combatant, not the part's powerhouse. With blink shirt (which I was thinking of refluffing as a sort of "rebirth" as his body collapses and dessicated, hatching out of a spoor which are deposited on most surfaces within the immediate area) and a sizable grapple modifier he can identify threats and gank them, or at least attempts. Mental stat wise he is quite wise and reasonable intelligent but lacks self confident as he feels himself inferior to his Queen, as a loyal subject should.

Im enjoying your concepts. I think you'll keep the ACP even if not erect but Eiseth may just cocklock you anyway so he doesn't have to worry about you wasting your semen when it's not being pumped out of you.

Totemist is so flexible that im not entirely sure what you're focusing on. Between you and the alchemist we should have most non CHA utility skills covered, and the CHA ones covered by the crusader and I.

I had intended on this being an on site game. But with only 2 people from E showing interest I collected some of my off site friends to fill the gaps and now will probably move it to <snip> which everyone can join really easily unlike E which has a long approval process. Im just waiting for a child board to be made before moving the ooc talk over there. Ill probably lock this thread once thats done to prevent confusion as long as you both are cool with it.

I'm alright with moving over to that board.  I'll sign up for an account there some time tonight. ^^
