OOC and Character Creation

Yeah it's going to take a bit more work. I just got to trying to pick out my feats and my stats didn't work for them now. 🙃

My courtly hunter has gone with these two traits: Still thinking about weapons and gear.

Spirit Guide: As someone who has performed or observed funeral rites for a wide variety of people, you have a basic understanding of many different religions.

Benefit(s) You gain a +2 trait bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks, and Knowledge (religion) is a class skill for you.

Secret Knowledge: At any point after taking this trait, you may choose one Knowledge skill.

Benefit(s) You gain a permanent +2 trait bonus on checks with that skill, and it is a class skill for you. Once this skill is chosen, it cannot be changed. (Knowledge Nobility)

Fair enough, I'll just be spending four points on proficiency in that case, so I can have my proper reaper eidolon friendo. As for traits, I'll be keeping Omen and taking Hierarch Priest.

Ok my character is finally done, only thing I'm not 100% on is the attack bonus in the weapon field.

So if you missed it I made a switch- it's 3 traits one of which must be from the campaign traits so @TheHumbug you cab pick a third trait from any category and @GeneCortess you need to pick up one of the four campaign traits.

So I have magus about ready to go.

I have also however very rapidly worked out a warpriest with spear dancing style because I now want to make it work, (admittedly she has some strength, especially to access power attack) and will give us healing in the party.

I have also got a evangelist cleric concept if we want that full caster/support.

Are people leaning any particular way. The magus currently has more fluff, but is also a build I can do in about any game.

@LightOfmidnight- I love it, just too many options to play. That's exactly the way I am in most games.

I’m probably not the one to ask, but imo just play whatever character you think would be the most fun, having a build that actually works is overrated when you can have a big friend with a scythe :)

Have to say a big friend with a scythe can be very effective. One of my players tormented me with one during the iron gods ap... and then the magus sing a scimitar took butterfly's sting.... At least we can't torment Alordis with that combo :P.

We should hope, at least, cause I have no clue what I’m doing. It took me a solid half an hour to comprehend how the heck natural attacks worked, especially in conjuncture with a eidolon weapon.

Unchained or Chained? (Even the chained can do hella damage)

You've probably worked out by now but yeah all your natural attack when you are attacking with the scythe will be counted as secondary so - 5 to hit, halfstrength and power attack damage.

If unchained the scythe attack counts towards you attack allowance. It doesn't for orginal summoner. (Though have to admit I know little about orginal summoners)

No clue what unchained is ngl, but I am aware of the whole secondary attack thing. Don’t really know much abt power attack tho. I’m honestly just kinda selecting whatever looks the most aesthetically pleasing for the Eidolon.

That's fair and valid :P

There's two summoners, the original and unchained, as some classes got reworked.

The unchained was a big nerf to summoner that limited what you could do with eidelons by putting the evolutions they could have into categories based on what type (devil, angel, elenental) the eidelon is.

Original just gives you more freedom with evolutions and as long as you aren't using them to make a 9+ attack pounce beast (the specific build that forced them to make unchained summoner and ban og summoner from pfs) its better to be in original than unchained.

(Unchained monk and barbarian weren't nerfs per se just sideways evolutions of how the classes abilities worked, and unchained rogue is a buff that nonetheless pigeonholed the class into being the dex to damage class).

@GeneCortess- did you see my PM about your theoretical family tree? Also- of note, there aren't really "common" fire dwarves- the high dwarves (fire, cold, stone, storm, cloud) are all rare in this age with hill dwarves comprising much of dwarf society- basically the nobles are "high" dwarves of various types and the commoners/peasants are largely hill dwarves. Of course being raised apart from dwarves you wouldn't necessarily intuit that bifurcation.

I've approved everyone's whose submitted character's, so we are waiting on @LightOfMidnight to decide and submit.

Sorry if being blind. Can I grab a quick list of Hapi's domains?

Oh no, I totally just didn't put them up! I left out the Deities seciton I usually include for this world since I restricted it to Hapi followers but forgot to put up domains sorry about that

Hapi domains are-- Death, Law, Repose, All subdomains of those except Undead, the Rites subdomain of Magic, and the Decay subdomain of Plant

As long as you don't go absurdly overboard I don't typically enforce/check encumbrance very closely. Very briefly into the game you'll have a base of operations so you won't have to be carrying around crates of coins or anything like that.
