[ +- ] Gold Peak
So Gold Peak is the only major dwarf Kingdom-- it takes up a large part of the mountains between the East and West halves of the map of you look at that. It's ruled by a Cloud Dwarf King, but there are 8 major families that play a part in the oligarchy that truly run the society including the Ironfire clan which are the most powerful fire dwarf family there.

Question about Deities and such. Fiden is a fire dwarf hunter (ranger/druid) and therefore should have a deity or something in the area to worship. She has really mostly lived in Human cities. Any Sugestions?

I thought we were all worshipers of Hapi.

Oh. Hmm. that should be interesting for Fiden being part druid. And with druid/ranger spells.

There are full druids who worship Hapi on the setting- they tend to focus on her aspects in the circle of life and death, especially since she's a God of natural death.

@lightofmidnight- how are you coming making your character?

Sorry. My brain did a thing, especially with choice paralysis. I'm just going to go for Magus and give her a little UMD for scrolls and wands if need be.

@Alordis: I appreciate if you say no but as lore wise her arm is going to be a melted down Hapi scythe, would you let me instead of spending the 100gp upgrade to mwk her scythe, spend 100 to make her arm silver. (I I can under normal Jistkan rules do this for 145, which i will i you say no, just also hoping for a chainshirt :P)

I'll go with no for now and remind you that chain shirt is one of the most easily obtained pieces of equipment once you start looting, that will almost surely obtain within the first two levels.

Really digging this character concept- it only makes me wonder if you can find a way to work in some spiritualist level dips to have the grandfather actually join as a phantom!

That goes for everyone really- pretty excited about the directions this game can be going.

Also, should have 1 more joining who said they wanted to grab cleric in the recruitment thread so that will be a pretty balanced party.

Ooh that is tempting. If only spiritualist was a vmc :P. he may be able to join as a familiar later... does mean she can't punch people while he's running around though.

Yeah that's fair. I know I was being cheeky on the request, just thought it fit lore wise and with the mwk possibility saving 45 gp vs 200 :P
(Also made it before I swapped up dex a bit higher). Updated sheet to reflect this

I mean, obviously I should put on the work to make VMCs for the Occult classes and publish it.
Sep 2, 2023 1:41 am
Tbf VMC's for the classes which don;t hav them And better VMCs for some that do Is a project I have. Just currently haven't got much done on it. Bar vigilante, as want to do a game where everyone is also a vigilante. Orginally did it in gestalt but VMC would be better.

I see Narport on the map but where is Shanword Hill where we are currently?
Sep 4, 2023 10:33 pm
You're currently in the Reaper's Sanctuary in the Old Empire Seat, sorry I didn't specify that.

With Fiden being a junior priest (Level 1 druid like (Hunter Class -- Ranger/Druid)) is there anything she should know about the religion of Hapi? Holy Symbol? Special dress or color or such? Obviously, a silver sickle but she has that covered. Oh, would the silver sickle also double as holy symbol for the purpose of spells and abilities?

Fiden is actually from Riverport, so she is very much out of her normal home territory where she has lived for decades. She has never been to or near the Gold Mountains where Fire Dwarf would be much more commonplace. I assuming that she was summoned here, or has she taken up residents in the old empire as required by her religion?

Reaper University is in the Old Empire Seat- you would theoretically have trained there for a few years then been sent on to your first assignment or back home until you were summoned for this mission.

I'll get more information on the Church of Hapi and Hapi himself up in the next day or two.

Fiden just arrived in the sanctuary the day earlier. She traveled down the river from riverport. She has a room in the sanctuary already being a priest. It has been a while since she was here for training, so the place is still rather new to her. She isn't the most social of person prefers to live in the wilds alone with her Eagle more than being within the city. She not the kind of priest that just speads the word.

Sorry for the late submission of my character, but it was the long weekend and was not near a computer for the time.

But I see that there were options for elves and I was wondering if the Plains Elves were Lawful enough to be a chosen race?

Just wanting to let everyone know I am going camping from September 7 - 10 and will be without internet, use my character as you will until I get back!
Sep 12, 2023 7:38 pm
I'm back and ready to play!
Sep 22, 2023 10:03 pm
So there's no reason you could know this, but on Kesperex "Chosen of Hapi" (or any other deity) has a specific connotation- there is only one Chosen (if any) of a deity at a time and they have a special place and get special abilities beyond just clerics or other spell casters

Sorry all, I have been both moving and sick this week. Will get things rolling again here shortly.
