Character Sheets

[bearsarebrown]

Rules and stuff reposted for ease.

Here are the rules:
-Strictly three players. This is to avoid bog down, speed up posts and to balance the play by using Tome rules. Encounters will be reworked for Tome.
-Level 1. Don't worry, you'll get powerful fast.
-Utilizing all Tome rules, as found here. Please only players already familiar with the system.
-I am emphasizing speed of posting. Do it as often as you can. I understand, real life is real.
-Existing 3.5e prestige classes with at least partial progression are full progression.
-Existing 3.5e prestige classes with no progression do not exist. If a niche class you'd like is missing, ask.
-Homebrew, designed for Tome or not, will probably be allowed. Just ask first. Remember that you're level 1, it's awhile before you'll PrC anyways. We can work out the specifics on those later.
-Flaws, traits, bloodlines, whatever. Go for it. If it's too stupid for this game I'll tell you.
-Make up your ability scores. I trust you.
-Unless there are exceptions among the other players, roll at home. I trust you.
-We're Playing With Fire. Necromancy is not evil. But it is gross.
-Any bonus 3.5 feats become they're respective Tome feat if it exists. For example, Alertness granted by Familiar becomes the Tome feat Alertness.
-I have every 3.5e book and damn near every issue of Dragon. Go fucking wild.
-Dragon 348 contains Affiliations based around this adventure. Pick one  Smile (not required)


These aren't rules but things I'd like you to consider:
-Refluff anything and everything you want.
-When designing how your character will act in combat, be considerate. Builds based around AoO are not kosher. I'm tempted to just flat ban Immediate actions. I won't do it for now but I might if they slow combat down too much.
-Players Guide to Savage Tide. Please read it. Yes, you get a bonus feat from the respective part of the city. If you think the feat sucks and would like a Tome version, present me with one. Also, you may substitute a Regional Feat from another source if you'd like.
-You don't need to be Good. But you need to look Good and have a motivation for doing Good things.
-Backstory expectations are low. I understand it's level 1 and this is an Adventure Path. No more then a paragraph or two. Seriously, don't write more then two paragraphs.
-Include with your character sheet a loose write-up of your expected progression over the next two levels. There is absolutely no penalty for breaking this.
-Sheets on Mythweavers are fine, so is Tangled Web and so is a well formated post. As you level up I expect your bookkeeping to level up as well.
-I like themed adventure parties.

No deadline. I'll pick people when I see three good entries that will work together. Should be pretty fast though, it's only a level 1 character. Looking at end of the week.

I'm positive I forgot something. I'll be editing this post accordingly, including answers to general questions asked in the thread.

EDITS:
@Wealth By Level and Consumables
Anyone oppose to just using standard 3.5 WBL? I must admit I'm still confused on by how Tome Items are supposed to work. And generous refluffing avoids Magical Christmas Tree. And a rule that oslecamo uses that I really like, You can't cast from Scrolls. They're for learning only. Potions aren't really that bad, even with an infinite amount. They're never over 3rd level and you won't be breaking into a Wish economy until at least 5th level spells. Will update OP.

@Monk's Belt
It exists but refrences 3.5e Monk's AC Bonus

18: You gain concealment.

Languages

 Common
  Orc

Feats

 1) Improved Natural Weapons
  Flaw) Product of Infernal Dalliance
  Flaw) Combat School "Savage Fury" (Natural weapons)
  Bonus) Swim Like a Fish

Flaws

 Bestial Instinct: You suffer a -2 penalty to hit while using anything other than unarmed strikes or natural weapons.
  Vulnerable: You take a -1 penalty to Armor Class.

Racial Abilities

  Darkvision 60'
   Daylight Sensitivity: While in brightly lit surroundings (such as a daylight spell), an Orc suffers the dazzled condition and is thus at a -1 penalty to attack rolls and precision-based skill checks.
   +2 bonus to saving throws vs. Poison and Disease.
   Immunity to ingested poisons.
   +2 to Jump and Survival checks.

Class Abilities

 Proficient with all simple weapons.
 
  Claws of Darkness (Su): As a free action, a Shadow Warrior can weave shadows to form a pair of horrific claws for themselves. These claws are treated as any other natural weapons, deal damage as appropriate for a creature of the Shadow Warriors size (1d6 for Medium creatures), and have a critical threat range of 19-20. These claws strike as magical weapons, allowing them to bypass some damage reduction and to hurt incorporeal creatures (though they still suffer the 50% miss chance). The claws can be dismissed as a free action, and last until  dismissed.

  Shadow Shroud (Su): A Shadow Warrior is surrounded by a cloak of darkness that offers them protection. The Shadow Shroud gives them an Armor bonus to AC equal to 4 plus 1/2 their level. As an armor bonus, this does not stack with any armor that they might wear. The Shadow Shroud absorbs the light around it, causing the area within 60 feet of the Shadow Warrior to be dim. This does not interfere with vision, but it does allow creatures with light blindness to function normally. Shadow Shroud also suppresses any Light effects within 60 feet of the Shadow Warrior, but stronger spells such as Daylight are not affected. This ability can be turned off and on as a free action.

  See the Shadows (Su): A Shadow Warrior can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by the darkness or deeper darkness spells.

Description/Personality

Hargoth is 6'3" and weighs 228 pounds.  He grew up in the poorest area of the Azure district of Sasserine.  He took to the sea as if he was made for it, enjoying the freedom it gave him.  He made some friends, those who cared more for the work he could do than for what he was, but mostly he was shunned for his race.  Hargoth learned to embrace and control the shadows, they allowed him privacy and solitude.  Hargoth is a friendly caring person, but distrustful and always expecting racial prejudice.

Feat Information

Swim Like a Fish

Swim ranks:
0: You gain +3 to your Swim checks.
4: You gain a swim speed equal to your base land speed, with the attendant benefits. You don't take armor check penalties to your Swim checks.
9: You can breathe water, and you can attack through water as if under the effects of freedom of movement.
14: While under water, you can substitute Swim checks for Reflex saves, and you gain a +4 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
19: As a swift action, you can add your ranks in Swim as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class while under water.

Improved Natural Weapons

Your natural weapons deal damage as though one size category larger,
BAB:
+1: All of your primary natural weapons can be used in one round without penalty. The secondary ones can be used with a mere -2 penalty, and deal damage like primary weapons.
+6: Your natural weapons tear at muscle, dealing 2 Strength damage each time they strike. Additionally, secondary weapons no longer receive a penalty to hit. In effect, all of your natural weapons are always primary.
+11: The reach of all of your natural weapons increases by 5 feet. Additionally, any time you successfully damage a foe with a natural weapon, they must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your level + STR) or be Nauseated for one round.
+16: Your natural weapons all deal damage as though yet another size category larger, and gain bonus damage equal to half your Strength modifier again - if they dealt damage normally, it is now 1.5, if it was previously 1.5, it is now x2. Additionally, they all count as adamantine weapons and gain a +1 bonus per 5 character levels (round down) to hit and damage. Finally, if all of your natural weapons strike one foe at least once in the same round, the foe takes an additional 4d6 damage plus double your Strength modifier.

Product of Infernal Dalliance

Benefits: You may take any feat with the [Fiend] subtype. In addition, you radiate faint evil, have either two claws or one bite natural weapon, and have Cold Resistance 5 or Fire Resistance 5. When this feat is gained, you also gain the [Baazetu], [Tanar'ri], [Yugoloth], or [Demondand] subtype.

Combat School

+0: First, name your fighting style (such as "Hammer and Anvil Technique" or "Crescent Moon Style", or "Way of the Lightning Mace"). This fighting style only works with a small list of melee weapons that you have to describe the connectedness to the DM in a half-way believable way. Now, whenever you are using that technique in melee combat, you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls.
+1: Your immersion in your technique gives you great martial prowess, you gain a +2 to damage rolls in melee combat.
+6: When you strike your opponent with the signature moves of your fighting school in melee, they must make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 your level + your Strength bonus) or become dazed for one round.
+11: You may take 10 on attack rolls while using your special techniques. The DC to disarm you of a school-appropriate weapon is increased by 4.
+16: You may add +5 to-hit on any one attack you make after the first each turn. If you hit an opponent twice in one round, all further attacks this round against that opponent are made with The Edge.

Future progression is more Shadow Warrior up to 20 if the game goes that far.

Special Attachment (his soothsayer bones are his "focus")

not stack with the extra skill point received by Humans).

Equipment

Total Wealth: 191.77/200 gp spent
Sling and 20 stones (10 lbs, 1 sp)
1/3rd owner of a partially charged wand of CLW (10 charges, 50 gp)
Brigandine armor (125 41.67 gp, 25 lbs?)

50' of hemp rope (1 gp, 10 lbs)

57 lbs total (medium encumbrance, light if he drops the sack with his rope and shapesand in it)

Background

Driven from his homeland as a weakling and soft-hearted fool, Queequeg decided to sell his services as an oracle to the humans that often passed through his homeland in ships of various sorts. After initial skepticism, his talents soon made him appreciated among them, if not welcomed. When not out to sea or trying to find work at the docks, he normally spends his time in the Shadowshore, as that's the only district where he can go and not be constantly stared at and/or and harassed by the watch.

Appearance

If a crocodile could stand on two legs and smile, it would look like Queequeg.

Personality

Just being a lizardman would make Queequeg difficult to read for most warm-blooded humanoids. On top of that, he's an outcast lizardman, and a bit of a recluse at that (although any who know him quite well might suspect that this is out of a desire to avoid the constant discrimination that he normally has to put up with, and perhaps a bit of shame at being outcast from his own society, but a lack of desire for friendship). Toss in his penchant for speaking in riddles and acting as an oracle, and he becomes downright inscrutable to most people, even those who might call him a friend.

Party Role

Diviner, blaster, BFC, tracker/scout (though not the sneaky kind)

Daily Buffs

Omen of Peril, used constantly. And just so we don't have to look it up:

OMEN OF PERIL

Divination
Level: Cleric 1, druid 1, Liberation 1, ranger 1
Components: V, F
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

A brief supplication gives you a vision that hints at how dangerous the immediate future is likely to be. Based on an assessment of your immediate surroundings and chosen path of travel, you receive one of three visions that reflect the next hour’s journey: safety, peril, or great danger.

The base chance for receiving an accurate reply is 70% +1% per caster level, to a maximum of 90%; the DM makes the roll secretly. If the omen of peril is successful, you get one of three visions, which lasts just a second or two.
• Safety: You aren’t in any immediate danger. If you continue on your present course (or remain where you are if you have been stationary for some time before casting the spell), you will face no significant monsters, traps, or other challenges for the next hour or so.
• Peril: You will face challenges typical of an adventure: challenging but not overwhelming monsters, dangerous traps, and other hazards for the next hour or so.
• Great Danger: Your very life is at grave risk. You will likely face powerful NPCs or deadly traps in the next hour. If the roll fails, you get one of the two incorrect results, determined randomly by the DM, and you don’t necessarily know that you failed because the DM rolls secretly.

Choosing which vision is “correct” takes some educated guesswork on the part of the DM, who should assess the characters’ likely courses
of action and what dangers they’re likely to face. The exact form that an omen of peril takes depends on whether you worship
a specific deity, venerate nature as a druid, or simply uphold abstract principles.
A druid might see a white dove for safety, a dark cloud obscuring the sun for peril, and a forest fire for great danger. A cleric of Fharlanghn might get a vision of a straight road for safety, a crossroads for peril, and a washed-out bridge for great danger.

Unlike the more powerful augury spell (PH 202), an omen of peril doesn’t respond to a specific question. It indicates only the level of danger likely for the next hour, not what form the danger will take.
Focus: A set of marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp.

Speaks Common as its one language known.

Background:
Eldest son of a house of minor nobility, Deiiu had a cozy little life in the noble district. Brought up from a young age to be a proper gentleman, he found the trappings of his class rather restrictive. He managed to escape them for a time by dint of being magically gifted, and gaining a tutelage at Witchwarden Tower. Unfortunately, a penchant for laziness and daydreaming soon had his apprenticeship ended.

In the last year or so, however, he's been hiring out his talent with magic to the district's Watch to aid in helping them with crime - when he's not wenching, at least. Most recently, his talent at summoning helped end a stalemate between a small group of violent smugglers and a smaller group of Watch, earning him a bit of respect amongst the Watch, if not the other nobles of the district. Perhaps that's what's drawn attention...

Personality:
Amoral, devious, and slightly self-important. Has a minor streak of altruism that bothers him at times, and an almost irresistible urge to show off whenever the opportunity presents itself. The two often interact, leading to an effect he describes as the 'Big Goddamn Hero Syndrome'. Loquacious and lascivious, though rarely the two at the same time (obviously, there's not enough blood for both), and has been known to stop and stare at a particularly fine piece of body art.

Feats

Greenbound Summoning (Lost Empires of Faerun): Any Animal summoned by Summon Nature's Ally spells has the Greenbound template applied to it.
Ashbound (Eberron Campaign Setting): Automatically extends any Summon Nature's Ally spell, and grants any creature summoned via them a +3 luck bonus to attack rolls.
Knack for Magic (Player's Guide to Savage Tide, modified for Tome): +2 Spellcraft, basic access to a Sphere.
Versatile Spellcaster (Races of the Dragon): Trade 2 lower-level slots to cast a spell 1 level higher.
