[3.5] Discovering the Holy Kingdom Recruitment Thread

[Kowsauni]

If not I'll just use the 32 point buy, but first I got to see if SCN still wants to play his cleric or Inquisitor.  

[SCN_ Grey_fox]

Rag: A Spellthief(Complete Adventurer) would be the middle ground, if you are having trouble between those two choices.

Kow: Being it looks like Rag will play a living thing(sad, my dreams of owning an undead army at level 1 are gone. razz ) I will play a Pathfinder Cleric. I slept though the day, so I will work on my character tonight.

Leon: DM, buddy, friend... can Kow take Life-dominant Soul(meaning, remove the prereq)? If she doesn't mind to. It would ease a really big fear of using channeled energy to mass heal the party and killing an ally in the process. If not I will just change the cleric to one that doesn't use channel energy

Quote:

Life-dominant Soul
Prereq: Dhampir
Benefit: you are healed by channeled positive energy if used to heal the living and channeled negative energy if used to heal the undead, but are only healed half the normal amount. You still take damage from positive energy that is used to harm undead.

Hmm, even if that feat is allowed in my case I wont have room for that for it for a bit. As a human ghoul I already need my two feats for Weapon Finesse to have decent AC and still hit anything, and Civilized Ghoulishness so I am not killed on sight upon entering a town.

My next feat wont be until level 6 T.T  

[Raganui Minamoto]

To be fair, Grey Fox, it's only because I can't find a LA+0 Undead Race or Template, so I can actually get my full class.

I could also go with a frontline fighter.  

[Kowsauni]

Alas, since the Ghoul class is built to account for a +4 level adjustment it specifically states I don't get feats as normal while leveling. I only get feats when the class says so. I'm basically only going to be level 4 by the time everyone is level 8, but I am ok with this, as I am mostly playing this character for thematic purposes. Ever since I saw the Civilized Ghoulishness feat in pathfinder I always wanted to play a Ghoul. I just hope it wont be too much of a drag on the party. I get a lot of bonus stats as I level up so that offsets some of the level difference, the only place I am really hurting is my HP.  

[Winter Wondork]

Well mostly the LA for undead is so high is because of the sheer number of Immunities you get. Let alone the removal of the Con score, and therefor most Fort saves, just them alone is possibly a +2. Extreme gain and loss from becoming undead makes it as easy to dominate as it is to die from some accidental failed save against a Good Cleric.

Speaking of Clerics, it's been quite a while since I've played one. Will this be a your choice alignment campaign or will there be a set one? I've been kicking around this idea of an evil cleric trying to ascend into a full blown Demon.. Though the fun part, with the devilish allies and annoyed Efreeti having their wishes used every day, wont start until LV 11 due to Clerics not getting Planar Binding without Domain spells [Really?], and Ally being an awful money drain for comparatively little help. Eight thousand gold to have a HD 8 creature work with you for a little less than two weeks compared to enticing/browbeating it into service.

... Of course this is all speaking as if this is a full Pathfinder game instead of a 3.5 game, which I've never played before, which makes me hesitant.

 

[Raganui Minamoto]

The Pathfinder version of classes are definitely more powerful than the 3.5 versions.  

[Kowsauni]

I'm just going to state this now. I'm not going to play in an evil aligned group. Most people here have played with me before and already know I'm adamantly against playing in those kind of games. But since there are some new faces I'll just restate it now. If people are planning on making evil characters that are going to hurt and kill innocent people, please let me know and I'll politely drop out before things get started.

I don't mean to limit anyone's creativity, that's why if someone wants to play and evil character I will be the one to leave, but I seriously don't want to have to role play though player characters doing evil things.

If anyone is curious, its rambling, but this video pretty much sums up my thoughts on this.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

Anything I'd try evil, I'd have to do on a non-play by post. More coordinating with the GM and players in real time.

But yea, I'm still stuck between a front liner, a rogue, and an arcane caster. We kinda need all types and I don't know where the 'ghoul' sits in it all. What role does it play?  

[Winter Wondork]

Rrriiight. Well I'm not being turned into the bad [Hah] guy here by having people leave, so I'll just go ahead and scrap that idea.

If we need a caster I may still go summoning but to avoid problems it will most likely be Angels or Agathions.

Maybe a crafter?

 

[Kowsauni]

The ghoul will be sort of a utility/support character. Her main strength will be her ability to paralyze opponents and make multiple attacks a round early on. Later on she will debuff opponents by sickening them with an aura. If we get beyond level 8 I'll either start taking levels in Rogue or fighter.

If the ghoul character dosn't work my back up character is a half-dragon fighter or barbarian.  

[Winter Wondork]

That sounds horrific, stealthed ghouls.
Perhaps a Shadow Dancer to let you hide even when being observed.
