(OOC Setup) Tales of Phaedoras

[Raelifin]

Feats for Nyamm

Change of Focus [General]
You can rely on your ears instead of your eyes.
Prerequisite: Blind Fight, 4 ranks in listen
Benefit: If you cannot see for any reason for more than 1 round, you gain a +4 competence bonus to listen checks on the second round and each round thereafter until you become able to see again.
The listen DC to pinpoint invisible creatures also drops by 10 during this time.

Attuned Senses [General]
You can fight and move even when blind.
Prerequisite: Blind Fight, 4 ranks in listen
Benefit: Your speed is not hindered by blindness. You also automatically succeed when checking concealment miss chances in melee. This does not negate the presence of miss chance for the purposes of abilities that are negated by it (such as sneak attack) nor does it allow you to sense the presence of immobile objects (such as a statue).
Thanks: Nom

To See Without Eyes [General]
You can feel your surroundings as if you could see them.
Prerequisite: Blind Fight, Attuned Senses, 8 ranks in listen
Benefit: You gain blindsight 5â,¬,,¢. This ability allows you to sense immobile objects and terrain as well.

[Senkennomei]

Nice, thanks for the feats! :)

Quick couple of questions:

1) What is the party's unifying language going to be?

2) What are the other languages?

3) How many language points do we get again?

4) What are the names for your renamed armors?

Oh, and for the purposes of RPing a better character and providing more role-playing options amongst the party I am going to change my character's class from Wanderer to Witchdoctor.

[Raelifin]

1. Not sure yet. I think I'll probably start out somewhere on Kimuk, but I'm not quite sure. Do languages last.

2. Here is a list there will probably be some synergy bonuses, but I haven't made any:
Ubin (Melseh Ubau)
Shaimoian (Echmorak)
Kainakai (Northern Tobinu)
Ieko (Iekokaii)
Shiienaii (Northern Kimuk)
Eemeechi (Eastern Lun)
Phseamodan (Shadowlands)
Vuunan (West Tobinu)
Minmikan (Southern Kimuk)
Mununutch (Kitchiek)
Hizzari (Northern Tobinu Desert)
Lunian (Lun)
Northern Lunian (Mid-north Kimuk)
Hokuch (Ihhaerah)
Totwimi (Kunoviera Twimi)
Morimikan (Fire Isles)
Pokobrian (Northwest Kimuk)

3. I have changed this. Each character starts with 2 automatic ranks in their regional language and recieves ONE bonus rank per int mod. Just be sure to tell me where your character grew up and I'll tell you what your auto language is and what your bonus languages are.
Language rules are here: http://users.bigpond.net.au/nom/d20/houserules/hr_skill.html

4. For thematic purposes, armors are named as weigh as folows:
Padded - 10lbs
Light Leather - 13lbs
Heavy Leather - 17lbs
Light Chainmail - 30lbs

Light Hides - 23lbs
Heavy Chainmail - 35lbs
Heavy Hides - 40lbs
Plate - 40lbs

Layered Chainmail - 50lbs
Bulky Plate - 60lbs
Epic Hides - 60lbs
Epic Plate - 70lbs

Shields are the same. If you want to use a tower shield, I have some nice feats for them.

[Senkennomei]

You do realize that with those ranks set up as low as they are, our characters aren't going to even be able to speak the basic forms of communication in combat on a failed check, right?

[Raelifin]

I've already told you that if you have at least one rank in a language you may always take ten. Thanks for making me point it out to the others though.

[Senkennomei]

Oh, I thought you couldn't take ten when in combat...that's why I gave my other Phaedoras character 4 ranks in his native language, so he could still speak basic dialogue when in combat...

[Raelifin]

Sorry for not making myself clear. I'll give you a few extra ranks in Morimikan or Ubin or whatever to represent your linguistic prowess.

I know some of you have already made/thought up cool characters, but I'm not getting much of a response here. I was hesitant to start another online game and I still am. I know Crit is unsure if he actually wants to play in Phaedoras (no problems there) but if Wix wanted to take up the role of the character Pekartak in my other game, that would be quite neat.

I don't want to pressure you Wix, but you'd get to play now and there is a possibility that I'd be able to stick to DMing two games. Tell me what you think everyone. :)

[Senkennomei]

Well thus far I know I want to do a Nyamm Witchdoctor of Neutral or Evil personality (maybe a happy medium between the two), but I can't proceed with the character until I know what the new Witchdoctor holds + is capable of doing.

Oh, and Thomar is rather...enthusiastic about the idea of a 2nd Phaedoras. (I forgot he wasn't in CBG...)

Heck, I'd like to see Wix take over Pekartak...the last player sucked eggs RPing as him.

[Numinous]

If you don't need me around, I think I'll sit this one out.  My life is startin' to get a little busier, so I probably won't have the time.

[Raelifin]

Okay. Now if I can just hear from wix....

[Senkennomei]

Having Wix as Pekartak would be great, but I'd still like to see this game get off the ground, too. I love the first Phaedoras, but I think it would be fun to start up a 2nd one on this different continent. Besides, I have a good character in mind + I could easily make him in half an hour once I get all the proper information :)

So since Crit is going to drop out, that leaves us with:

Senken - Witchdoctor
seTiny - Wanderer
Wixman - Shaman

If we could get a tank of some sort I think we'd be set :)

[Wix of Bel-Air]

Sorry! I honestly kept looking at the Tales of Phaedoras and completely blanking out ("what is this?") and therefore didn't look at it. Anyway, I just need for my background to be written and some gpe changes. I'll get working!  

[Senkennomei]

Oh, what is our starting gpe, anyway?

(Wix, what about RPing Pekartak...?)

[Wix of Bel-Air]

Our starting gpe is about 900.

I don't really want to play someone else's character. Sorry, jsut a thing I have.

[Raelifin]

900gpe just like core.

No problem.
