Me and my group are now in the 4th out of 6 books of the way of the wicked campaign for pathfinder.

Im playing an oracle focused on blasting with fire spells and buffing my allies depending on the situation. (we are using the spheres of powers sistem tho, I can go into details bout the build if you want)

I am kinda leading the gorup since I have the "closest" conection to our dark lord Asmodeus. The rest of the party consists of an antipaladin, an inquisitor and a devil blooded sorcerer.

And we are having a blast. :smallbiggrin:

The realms of men stand no chance against us.

I'm playing in a Pathfinder game (Kingmaker module) as Phorix Cinderback, Alchemist 2. He's an Ash Elf, a subrace I totally made up (with Elemental Resistance to fire as an alternate racial feature) that's semi-nomadic and practices slash-and-burn agriculture.
Owned an alchemy shop for several decades until it mysteriously burnt down (might have been him, but he blamed his competitors) and he decided he was bored with it anyway, so he became a Pathfinder instead.
Generally throws around Explosive Bombs or snipes with his bow and is infamous for hitting his allies all the time (with arrows too, since our DM insists on critical fumbles).
Personality is a strange combination of Spock-ish stiffness, social cluelessness and Chaotic Neutral amorality, except when it comes to people he cares about.
As the last man standing, saved the party from a TPK by implementing "Protocol Hammer", which involved a Dex-boosting Mutagen and a Shield extract, for a total of +8 AC at level 1.
Generally has the best kill count in the party by a large margin. :smallbiggrin:
Fed his mysteriously resurrected friend a nausea-inducing Mutagen just to make sure she wasn't secretly undead or something.

Well, I'm a DM, but I do have a Thrall I'm playing named M'lukka Kiawaii. He's a Polynesian themed Fighter 2/Swashbuckler 3/Tactical Soldier 1 built around flanking. Two of the other players are melee so hopefully he pleases.

I am playing in strange Aeons Vargus [rest of name missing] an half elven Scaled Fist//Psychic Searcher of Lore. We are currently level 2 and just joined the rest of the survivors.
I had planned to go for a familiar with him but my DM asked me not to do that since she does not like Commune and such spells.

I'm not in any straight up 3.5 or PF (or combination) games, but I am in a Rifts game, where I'm playing a Fire Dragon whose life was upended when the space opera starship he was living on fell through a negative space wedgie and out of a rift into Coalition territory. He hitched a ride with the party's break-out of an NPC who helped them, and has been an ally they're not entirely comfortable with (because he's BAD at hiding his draconic nature).

I'm also in a GURPS game set in Rifts, playing a mind melter who's an ex juicer that is a master of various machine-control psychic powers, and who leaves his dilapidated body on a hospital bed to galavant around in a war mech he's pretending is his cyborg body.

And an Of Dreams and Magic game which is wrapping up this week, most likely. My character is actually from one of the dream worlds, so he tends to think of Earth as "just another dimension" rather than "the real world."

And a game that just resumed is based on Gravity Falls and a few other inspirations. We're summer camp kids in a summer camp surrounded by weird supernatural stuff. It's using PF's occult classes on one side of a gestalt, and d20 modern classes on the other. I'm mostly a Smart Hero with a single Fast level, and I customized an archetype of Investigator to staple on the Occultist's magic using style (instead of Psychic or Alchemist). Drake - said character - is my effort at playing a teenaged, male version of Jade Chan.

I'm playing a Dark Whisper Gnome Rogue 3/ Swashbuckler 2. Apparently my DM does not like massive hide bonuses nor spiked chains, so I've been thinking of switching to wizard soon. Also the character's name is Roquefort Gorgonzola, luckily no one has yet noticed anything strange.

2017-01-20, 04:38 PM

A Human Half Minotaur Mineral Warrior Shapeshifter Druid who is eating halflings, but you already knew that one :smalltongue:

In an e6 game im playing a Wood Elf WhirlPounce Barb 1/Kensai Fighter 5 who is a Winged Hussar and as such does all of her fighting from the back of her Valenar Warhorse. Lot of fun actually getting to do Mounted Combat.

2017-01-20, 04:51 PM

In a gestalt Strange Aeons game I'm currently a Brawler//Pactmaker 1 (think Binder from 3.5). I named him as an off-joke to pro wrestling but have since gone whole hog on the wrestling gimmick; to the point that I've grappled a prone enemy and described it as a figure four leglock.

While not a PC, the is the NPC I created for my current party: Farengaur Rudhale, Human Favored Soul (Lendor) 6 (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1069993)

2017-01-20, 05:07 PM

None. I've DMed the last 3 campaigns for my group. Including the one we're currently running. But I like using interesting builds I'd like to play as enemies and seeing how they play.

None. I might need to stat up and convert to GMPC an NPC that my two-member party knows, "Pimpleface" (real name is Wen), a novice Cleric of Selûne. Last session they were captured by a necromancer, whose two CR 1/3 skeletons got some lucky crits on the party.

Same. Except more that I need to find a group somehow.
I really want to try out my Vecin class.

2017-01-20, 06:23 PM

Just died as an Elven cleric of Pelor, along with the rest of the party (it was an intentional TPK to wipe the slate clean) and about to start playing a Lucid-Dreaming-using CN assassin who hates the objective alignment system, and wants to eventually destroy it.

2017-01-20, 06:57 PM

We have a lot of games on standby AND I'm still in one PbP.

PbP Faerun, largely uncivilized Goblin Artificer alchemist, Reincarnated into an Aquatic Elf. He hates it.

PF, Iron Gods, high level, high cheese, Mythic Android Alchemist minionmancer. We're legit aiming to exterminate the Dominion of the Black.

PF, GMing Mythic (barely) Rise of the Runelords, GMNPCing a Mannequin Robot mercenary and soon to add a Migrus as a recurring villain.

PF, Iron Gods again, Mad Max style, Mythic, custom race Half-Robot, gun Magus, custom spells and tech specialist.
Backup character, her sister, custom race tiny tech fey, Sorcerer

GURPS, Dresden Files, high point value, custom race Promethian converted from WoD.

Plus two backup characters, both necromancers, both too low level to raise the dead. A Goblin and a Fast Zombie ratfolk.

A (Sphere) Sorcerer.

Alteration (Air Elemental & Size Reduction) and Life focus (Primary Healer)
With a little bit of Destruction (unlimited Stone Blasts) and Illusion (Invisibility... built around Stealth).

A Halfling, who cannot stand Orcs and is convinced that they're somehow the master of the Drow, in 'Rise of the Drow'...

*With a tear in my eye* None. I need a long(er) lasting group!

Same. Except more that I need to find a group somehow.

Ditto :smallsigh::smallfrown:

Next time I get a chance though, I want to ressurect my Changeling Factotum 1/ Incarnate (law) 4/ Chameleon 10/ X 5.

His name is Art and he -really- likes to play the changeling children's game "I'm you." He's spec'ed to be able to become a different character every day and was loads of fun last time.

My character in the only on-going game I'm in currently is a goblin sorcerer.

The game is really only on-going because the DM takes really long breaks between sessions, though. It's been three years since we started and we're only at level 5.

Grod_The_Giant

2017-01-22, 09:31 AM

As soon as the game actually starts, my prospective GM okay'd a delightfully cheesy spell-to-power Ghostwise Halfling Binder 1/Erudite 5 build-- Body Fuel+Naberius for infinite power points, Animate Dead stolen off the Death Master list+Overchannel so I can zombies at will, Shape Soulmeld+Dissolving Spittle to turn my psycrystal into a lovely little pseudoWarlock...

I've been playing a Human Druid/Animal Lord (Wolf) in a friend's campaign. Currently at Druid 7/Animal Lord 7, with half casting progression homebrewed into the PrC.

With the same group, I've been running another campaign, but once we finish the current story arc, another player will run a mini-campaign that should last about 3-4 sessions in which we'll be fighting hordes of creatures and trying to survive as long as possible. It's high-power Gestalt with Cheese, so I've created a beast of a Dwarf.
He's a Gold Dwarf with high CON and WIS Cleric (of Tharmekul) 20//Generic Warrior 17/Shield Bearer 1/Deep Warden 2. He's optimized to use CON to AC, tons of divine metamagic, and basically beat the crud out of anything that comes near him.

2017-01-22, 01:08 PM

I'm not playing anything right now, as I've just took over as GM for our group (our last GM GM'd for three years straight in his homebrew world and was experiencing a lack of inspiration). However, I plan to unleash all my crazy build ideas on my players in the coming months... This'll be fun.
I also have an upcoming pathfinder game where I'm going to be playing a Inspired Blade Swashbuckler // Bard. I'm eagerly wainting for that game.

A slightly modified Unarmed Swordsage (16) Tiefling named Faeora. She focuses on Desert Wind maneuvers in order to light things on fire, blow things up, etc

Doctor Awkward

2017-01-22, 02:16 PM

I am currently in an E6 game playing a Gray Elf Wizard 5/Mage of the Arcane Order 1

He took the Elven Generalist substitution at first level, Collegiate Wizard, and the DM agreed to allow the Conjuration Wizard Domain ACF in place of having a familiar.

Most of my post-6 feats have been item creation, and I've been outfitting the party in our attempt to stop the Abyss from invading the Prime Material plane.

I just started another campaign and am now playing a Human Striker (Spheres of Might preview) 5. Likes hitting things a lot and uses adrenaline surge a lot.

Shawn Yasumara

2017-01-22, 09:02 PM

Currently playing a Human Spellthief 1/ Sorcerer 6/ Spellwarp Sniper 3. He's a magical hitman named Morrivan Versago. A bit feminine in nature, but no-nonsense when it gets time to fight or investigate. He has Ocular Spell to (eventually) use things like Shivering/ Vampiric Touch from a range, and a number of spells to otherwise impede enemy movements before either he or the party finish them off.

He's my first Arcane caster and he's been a blast to play so far. :smallsmile:

3.5 game

currently playing a lvl 3 druid who will turn into a MoMF/Warshaper as we go along, but for now it's kinda the suck.

in the background I have a dragonwrought kobold DFA, and am building a psion right now as a back up.

might kill my druid off and go straight to the DFA, i'm more excited by that then the druid, but we'll see.

I finally got a game going, and I'm the DM. :smallfrown:

I kid, I'm actually having fun with it, only one session so far, but I hope to get a Campaign log typed up for it and posted over in the general RP subforum. :smallbiggrin:

I guess the NPC I'm having the most fun with is one I'm still working on building at the moment, the caravan leader has a custom class that's 1/2 BAB, has a 6 dice Eldritch Blast progression, and has Shadowcaster inspired paths which grant invocations. His set of paths are optimized to craft a Shapesand Construct to fight for him and deliver his blast dice as horrendous blows.

Dante Daylight

2017-01-24, 07:39 AM

3.5 Dante Daylight, human Paladin 6/Fist of Raziel 1. We are currently on the way to claim my keep I got from the deck of many things (4 Staffs) on the border to the bad guys.

Currently a (gnome-born, thus small sized) 4th level Aasimar (angel-blooded with random SLA giving me courage of blessing and life and a metallic sheen to my skin) Paladin in a Pathfinder game. The house rules mean we are low resource (we started with minimum gp). It is a deadly world (the sort that *needs* paladins, to paraphrase a certain webcomic). It is a lot of fun but with a high death rate (for pcs and npcs alike - I have lost both parents and I am not alone in that!) I tend to think of possible next characters a lot. :smallsmile: The chargen is IMHO generous: Pick the better of: a) 4d6 drop one any order or b) 3d6 drop one +6 in order.

One of the best parts is a friend in the group has a lot of lego figurines, so when I asked him if he could come up with a short pink-skinned blue haired greataxe wielding character in wooden armour (wooden armour is cheaper than studded leather, see above on starting gp) he was able to!

2017-01-24, 08:45 AM

I'm running a game but in the game I'm not running I'm a Mystic Fire Knight Sword of the Arcane Order Paladin. My last character before this one was a Harmonious Knight Paladin.

DMing for the next two weekends, but when we start back up in the regular campaign world I will be playing Dvati rogue based critfishers :smallbiggrin:

2017-01-24, 10:31 AM

Currently playing a Dragon-blooded Sorcerer Lightfoot Halfling who specializes in fire spells in a biweekly 5E game.

Was playing a Pathfinder Sylph Hedge Witch (healing, crafting, buffs and debuffs), but I just quit that game after a severe disagreement with the GM about his house rules.

2017-01-24, 01:02 PM

Currently playing a Level 5 Elf Cleric to a home-brew god, who's essentially the Goddess of Elements. My group always does rolling for stats unless we are all going to do point buy, and if you get below a 12 average you can use point buy, now mind you. I rolled these in front of the DM as you can easily lie if not. STR 18, Dex 18 (+2), Con 18 (-2), Int 18 (+1), Wis 17, Cha 15. I was expecting far worst stats however lady luck was on my side that day. Sense then though. I've yet to roll anything above a 10 when it matters.

In the game I'm running, I'm doing all the NPC's and Important figures. And a few BBEG's but not all of them. So that's fun to. Also throwing in some old characters I had from previous games, just leveled up or leveled down respectfully so the PCs can have interesting interactions with well thought out NPCs.

In a PF e8 campaign, I'm playing Rusk, a true neutral half orc possessed shaman 2. Full caster and skill monkey.
My familiar is Mortimer, King of the crabs. He's a charlatan, don't pay attention to anything he says.

Shinn

2017-01-24, 04:16 PM

I'm currently playing three characters :
- as Jak Rusbes, a Halfling Warlock at Pathfinder (with some tweaks from the 3.5 version) ; Chaotic Evil, yet the party face of the group. To be honest, he's also pretending to kick puppies to please his master, a Balor pretending to be his father, who tricked him into the Blood War.
Outside of the battle, it's the perfect party face ; inside, he's playing a middle role between Summoner, Blaster and Debuffer.

- as Sorion, an Illumian Druid/Barbarian on 3.5 ; apprentice of a shaman which got a Totem Animal, his horse, named Gleith. He came out adventuring as he knows to be deadly sick of a fatal unknown disease (a tumor), so he wanders to seek something to help him, while he flies into rage when he has to face the death.
His favourite kind of attack is casting Explosive Runes (gained with a feat) on his boots's soles, rocketjumping on his foes.

- as Shallion Melliane, alias Shal, a Sun Elf Diviner on 5e ; formerly Acolyt of Corellon, he was banned from the cult when he started to hang out with a Drow Summoner (another PC), thinking that it was time to give pardon to Araushnee's folk. So he's the healer and the buffer of the group, prefering to unsheat a longsword when it's troublesome.
When he see people for the first time, he's often acting a bit silly, such as a senile quest-giver ("You're the Chosen One ! You're ALL Chosen Ones !").

Hello guys.

I'm playing as:
* Sören Yohan Faust, Tiefling (hellspawn) Mesmerist [Cult Master/Umbral Mesmerist] in a Way of Wycked campaign.
* Victor Grigori, Human Medium [Voice of the Void] in Strange Aeons adventure path.

Brazzak the Lizardfolk Shaman is currently besieging Balentyne in the Way of the Wicked AP (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?502547-Infiltrating-and-toppling-a-fortress-at-low-level).

He's very much a fish out of water, as the only reason he turned up in the first place was the result of a vision quest that sent him on a pilgrimage to what is, essentially, the ass-end of nowhere.

I honestly probably shouldn't have put him in this game, but I'd really wanted to play some kind of reptile man for a while since a game here on the forums fell through before it began.

2017-01-24, 06:20 PM

Arkyn Baldr - A Frost Elf spellsword 15/icelord 1. Icelord is a homebrew variant of stormlord that relates more to cold than electricity. Arkyn's on a quest to find legendary artifacts that could end the world or create new worlds.

Zephyr - Ash Elf rogue 4 with the dark creature template, a mercenary for hire working on a pirate ship to gain funds, searching for a treasure that grants wishes.

And as a DM I control a bunch of NPCs :)

EDIT: All of these are in 3.5e
