Aurangh's Savage Tide OG CLOSED TO NEW INTEREST

[Auranghzeb]

Ahoy there, ye scurvy dogs! Gather 'round, for I have a tale that'll send shivers down yer timbers! I be seekin' brave souls, four in number, to join me crew on a daring adventure across the treacherous seas of Sasserine. There be mysteries aplenty, and the Savage Tide awaits those with the mettle to face it.

If ye be yearnin' for personal glory, thirstin' for honor, or simply lusting after the glitterin' promise of gold, then this be the voyage for ye! We'll sail through uncharted waters, face monstrous sea beasts, and uncover secrets buried deep in the heart of the ocean.

Bring yer swords, yer wits, and a hearty appetite for adventure! If ye be up to the challenge, leave a mark in the comments below, and we'll set sail together on a journey that'll be sung about in taverns for generations to come! Arrr, who among ye dares to join me crew and seek the treasures of the Savage Tide?



I'm already running two completely homebrew games of different colors and flavors, I wanted to run amodule and I was torn between this one and Temple of Elemental Evil. But to be honest, the Temple is a very flawed module with a really good start that then dissolves into a grind of a dungeon crawl. So I'm running this, which is what I'm running with my in person group.


I'm very candid about my style of DMing and my expectations: I want people who want to build a collective story and have fun, I don't like indestructible PCs, and I don't like arguing with players on RAW and stuff. I run the game trying to offer a fun game, please respect the effort put in this.


Interested?:

I'm accepting interest through this week. Read the big 16 to see if you are buying what I'm selling. Roll for abilities and give me a general concept pitch. This next saturday I'll make a shortlist of concepts I like (these may include some mechanics but I'm not really going to look into it much) and then give you a week to develop them.



1. What are we playing?
Savage tides. DND 3.5.

2. What setting?
Published Adventure path.
The Free City of Sasserine, North of Cauldron. Greyhawk, but I'm open to touches of Forgotten realms and Ravenloft.

4. How large of a crew are you looking for and where will we play?
I'm looking for 4 and only 4, I don't believe in larger groups in PbP

5. What level?
Lvl 3, milestone system.

6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with?
No of course not, 1500 gp. Alternatively. you can trade 1/3 of your wealth for something cool. But only after character selection.

7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes?

This is 3.5. In general, all classes from allowed sources are allowed. But I'll chose those I feel are thematic to the premise. Also, see the Homebrew section.


8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species?

Races in the allowed sources, be sure to read those before asking questions.


9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?

Roll [roll]3d6b2+6[/rolllll] x6, order them, that's it. I don't like point buy.

Max HP at first level, then roll. No averages (however see homebrew).


10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so?

Run any alignment you want, but roleplay it and roleplay within the group. Fair warning: evil characters and chaotic stupid will likely die fast and painfully or simply not be selected, but you can build your character as you want.


11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it?
Since we are using milestone there are no multiclassing penalties, but I'll cap MC at two classes, no dips on prestige classes. You go in, you stay the full run.


12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them?

Roll in the IC in a spoiler by declaring your actions. read the homebrew rules please.

13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? If so, list and explain them, or provide relevant links to learn about these new rules.


Changes to classes

Rangers get full progression on Animal Companion they also apply their FE bonus as an Insight bonus to attack (the bonus to damage remains untyped)

Druid's get the ranger's progression on animal companion.

Fighters and Barbarians get unarmed fighting and do 1d6.

Monks get good BAB

Paladins's spells are based on Charisma, their Smite evil ability works for a full round and it is usable 1/encounter instead of 1/day.

Hexblades can use their hex at will, they don't get spells, instead they gain Martial Maneuvers as a Swordsage-1: they can pick from Shadowhand, Diamond Mind, Iron Heart, Setting Sun, and White Raven.

All classes with a d4 hp get d6 instead, and classes with a d6 get d8 instead.

All classes get +2 skill points per level.



Tier 1 classes do not need anything nice, so no SAD archivists, etc.

Feats and stuff:

One flaw, one extra feat. No traits. Flaws are a few of the materials allowed from Dragon Magazine.

Feats every odd level (1,3,5,7) If your would benefit more from a feat at lv 6, I'm sorry, take it at lvl 7.

No double stat to any roll even if it's from different sources: i.e. Charisma as Deflection Bonus and Charisma as Dodge bonus do not stack.

I'll type any untyped bonuses (Except the Barbarian's rage and the ranger's FE).

Feats from PF: Vital Strike (and the line of).

Weapon finesse adds Dex to damage.

Bows add Dex to damage, crossbows still need a feat.

Dodge gives you a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Ref Saves.

Iron Will, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, instead give you GOOD Save progression.

Combat reflexes grants 2 extra AoO no more, AoO builds are horrible in PbP, so are grapplers.

However, grappling as a concept is cool and fixing it is a mess unless we use 5ed or CMD and I don't want to go there. Just be advised.


I like combat fast and bloody so:

Natural 20 crits do not need confirmation, other threats do.

A full-attack is a Standard action, max attacks are capped at 6 REGARDLESS of the combination or any ability, max is 6, apply penalties to iteratives as usual.

You can split your movement before and after your standard action, movement provokes AoO as usual.

You can't use Aid another for an attack, that's literally what flanking is for.

You can't have more than an extra standard action per round under any circumstances. i.e Factotum + belt of battle.


14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)?
See the other spoiler


15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above?
It is a published path that goes up to lvl 20, a bit of everything, more hack and slash. Not so many puzzles, I expect good role playing from everyone, that is essential. I have run this twice in person, I abbreviate a lot and remove most of the random encounters.

16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters?

Auto accepted: PH I and II, Spell Compendium, The Complete Series, ToM (no true namers), MoI, Stormwrack, Tome of Blade, Psionics, city scape.
There will be zero transparency with magic and psionics. Assume that I'm not limited to those sources and may use stuff from PF for NPCs and monsters.

I don't usually ban stuff, I simply don't pick characters I don't like, that said, the only allowed materials from Dragon Magazine are Battle Dancer, Mystic Ranger, the above mentioned flaws and stuff related to Sasserine and the adventure. Please don't ask.


16+. Any banned stuff?
See above







Sasserine was a We Jas Cleric who sacrificed herself to save the life of her lover, Teraknian. Teraknian built a castle as a shrine to his lover and founded the city in her name 700 years ago. It is perched in a safe harbor between two enormous cliffs and prospered as one of the safest ports in the Amedo Region, a subtropical jungle area along the south coast of the Azure Sea: the Jeklea Bay, to the west a large and almost impenetrable line of innactive volcanoes separate the bay from the Dust lands of the old Suel Empire.

For 200 years it prospered under Teraknian and his Descendants with strong ties to Suel, the Church of Wee Jas, and the church of Kord. Then 500 years ago, Orren Teraknian tried to rule as an enlightened absolute ruler and abolished many of the social institutions and religions, his kingdom was long and he had two successors who were highly popular among the destitute. Tat regime lasted until the noble families allied with the Sea Princes under false promises. The Sea Princes seized control, taking the children of the Sasserian elite as hostages, and ruled Sasserine for almost 200 years, isolating it from the main continent and even from the neighboring city of cauldron. This period meant the Sasserine elite had to spent their youth amongst the refined but bizarre Sea Princes in their strongholds in the Flannaes.

Then twenty years ago, the Scarlett Brotherhood, some nasty pirates they are, waged war against the Sea Princes and assassinated most of them. And some of the Sasserinian nobles still in their hold. The people of Sasserine did the rest and liberated the city. For the Past 20 years of so, the powerful families of the city have ruled as a council: The Dawn Council. But this oligarchy is tenuous, subject to treason and porous to crime and parallel powers and always under the threat of the Bullywug tribes to the east and the constant pressure of the Scarlett Brotherhood raids.

Rich families are an old aristocracy, most of them came with Teraknian or shortly after. They have plantations and ships, mainly using indenture servants and cheap labor, slavery was abolished by Orren Teraknian. The main exports are agricultural commodities like coffee and hemp that grows in the volcanic lands to the west of the city, exotic animals and furs.

The law forbids murder, theft and other strong offenses and is severe and swift, often death penalties, for those without connections or influence. But it is very relaxed about minor crimes and misdemeanors and has a bustling underworld. Reason why Sasserine has become attractive for all kinds of people looking to make fortune.

Since the ancient families came from Suel, Wee Jass has some faithful followers, so does Kord, but since the times of Orren Teraknian, the most popular god is Illmater (I know is not Greyhawk, but there's no equivalent), and due to the influence of the Sea Princes, there's also a strong following of other Flanaes deities.

You may be from Sasserine, maybe loosely connected to one of the big families, or you could have just arrived looking to make a name for yourselves.

If you are from the city, then you are most likely Human and if from a noble family most likely you are of Suel origin, dark haired and handsome. There's some tolerance to a few civilized Bullywugs, and the western plantations employ nomadic halflings that do seasonal work, there are a few dwarves from Cauldron.

If you are from any other race the, then you probably arrived recently and will not find many that look like you.

[Ridai]

Savage Tide, huh. Always been curious about this one. Perhaps this might be an opportunity to actually try for being a Scarlet Corsair (the good-leaning, possibly privateer kind). It's horrendously MAD, easily resisted, and easily outclassed by various mages and initiators. But I wanna.

Rilx (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2881768) was born with a curse, marked by fate with platinum blonde hair from two lines of dark brunettes. He was the shame of his parents, and ran away repeatedly. He was apprenticed to a sailor at a young age, to the mutual agreement of himself and his estranged family.

He had a remarkable aptitude for weapons and was enlisted to the Marine Guard of Sasserine, before being drummed out after a haughty, highborne cleric declared him cursed by the gods and unsuitable for Service.

Cut loose, he is seeking a job in the only life he knows.

Two questions:

1)Do Karsites get the bonus feat and skills of Humans?

2)s Human Paragon an option? If it were, would it advance 2.5 levels of initiator level at level 3?

Edit: I assuming the answer to 1 is "no" but I get one bonus feat at level one as I understand it, anyway.

[Rilem]

Quick question: I'm familiar with the storyline; if the group is starting at level 3, is it starting with "There is No Honor" or do you pick up later, when the AP is level3-ish? (I've got a couple of background concepts, but one makes a lot more sense if they're leaving town in a hurry.)

Personality

Exceptionally curious and easily distracted, Chip wholly lacks any awareness of, or interest in, social decorum and propriety, seeming to speak aloud nearly every thought that bubbles up from his subconscious. This is trouble enough when he speaks with his own voice, and can be utterly calamitous when he speaks in uncanny mimicry of others.

As a reformed thief, Chip knows better than to steal from others, but this does not stop him from remarking on the things he would otherwise wish to steal. Precious stones are of particular appeal, as are polished metals and all forms of coinage. The concept of currency is something Chip only loosely understands, for he struggles at times to appreciate that shininess does not necessarily translate into monetary value.

Description

Chip is tall and lean for his kind, with black feathers and glistening grey in amber eyes. It seems a stiff breeze might knock him over, but the kenku is so exceptionally light and quick on his feet that it is easy to lose track of where he is. One moment, you might hear the excited clacking of his beak right beside you, only to realize the next moment that he is now a dozen yards away, speaking foolishness to someone he shouldn't be speaking to at all.

Background

A recent Shadowshore resident and former cutpurse, Chip is looking to make a clean start having recently served time as an indentured servant.

Mechanics

I'm pretty flexible here. I could see him as a number of different classes. Spellthief, Beguiler, Factotum, Mystic Ranger, Scout, Hexblade, Warblade, Swordsage.

1. They do, it's even in their statblock.

2) why would it? Ah, you mean, instead of spellcasting? Na, paragons are just there for the free stats. Not interested in them.

We will start with "No honor" I just want to start at lvl 3 for flexibility and quickness.

SECOND TRY: I deleted the initial post because rolling did not work

You can, but don't take anything there to the letter. As DM I'll color myself, otherwise I need to learn and remember everything on the Player Companion. It is easier for me to use my notes. See above in the new spoiler I added.

Thank you for the quick answer. A specific question: The PG states that there are a few elves in Sasserine, and even has one of the families be elven. Can I play an elven ranger and still be a native?

Dreadful rolls! with 4,5,5 on 3 of them :smallyuk:

Elves? what elves? No family will be elven. However, it makes sense that an elven ranger came here 20-30 years ago as a youngling. Even after the fall of the Sea Princes. These are not typical elven woods, more like insect infested tropical jungles. Your character may be looking for that.

Yeah, I was being diplomatic, but I have faith in ye.

[ProudGrognard]

Ok, I am ready. Here is my character pitch. True to the Big16 instructions, there are no mechanics here. If shortlisted, I will create the charsheet, as instructed.




https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0d/03/5b/0d035bd826bd76c397ca17c62c5d0e2f.jpg

History
Tefkros Telamonassa is a young elf, hailing from the clan of Nastaroquen in the Amado jungle. Tefkros' people have resided in these lands since time immemorial, and enjoy a certain status among the other elven and non-elven clans. The Nastaroquen are hunters and tamers of wild beasts, herbalists of some renown and lorekeepers of Solonor Thelandira and Fenmarel Mestarine. Tefkros learned to hunt and to fight from the Clan's elders, and to use his Clan's herbal magic from the lorekeepers. In the young age of 100, he was considered a fair shot even by elven standards.
But Tefkros was a bit strange, by the norms of his people. Something called to him, but he did not know what. He often ignored the demands of his clan and went out alone. He also displayed a great love of luxury and of comforts, resulting in trading things that would have been useful for things that made him more comfortable. His elders chided him again and again, but Tefkros continued to defy them. The final straw was the first time that Tefkros saw the sea, in a trading journey to the Emerald Cove. His heart was enamored, by the city and the sea both. Despite the behests of his family and friends, he went back to the sea the first chance he got. His elders disavowed him and sentenced him to become an outcast for the next century. Tefkros, furious, denounced them in turn and vowed that this was not a punishment, but a blessing.
This is how, fifty years ago, he ended up in Sasserine. It took him years to get used to life in the human city and decades to get accepted as a native. But Tefkros did not care. He was happy to sail the large human ships as a sailor, a warrior and a hunter. He was happy to live near the eternal but everchanging sea. He even made friends with these short-lived humans. Over the years, his skills adapted to his new life. He is still an archer and a tracker of some renown, and with a fair reputation for impartiality. What do petty, short-lived, human intrigues concern him?

Personality
Tefkros sees himself as a self-appointed ambassador for his people - much to the chagrin of his clan. He believes he must show the world what an elven warrior can do. He has also developed a love of glory and urban luxury, which he sees as an extension of his ethos as a hunter. This is a new kind of jungle, even more interesting, deadly and rewarding than his ancestral lands. And of course, there is the sea.

[namo]

Personality
Denya aims to live her life fully, and to laugh out loud through most of it.

She is gregarious, and trusting by nature: she enjoys making new friends from all walks of life. She is definitely not racist for a human, taking interest in darfellan customs, the idiosyncracies of the elven language, and dwarven jokes. She is an avid reader too - even she likes getting away from the ruckus of the harbour from time to time: she then retires to an isolated creek for a few hours.

She likes to haggle, and will try to get the best deals for her and her friends.

Short background
Denya was born and raised in Sasserine. Her elder brother Tern fell in with some bad types - smugglers - a long time back and they're not on speaking terms anymore. Her dad is long gone: he sailed away when she was 6, never to return. Her mother lives with her aunt.
...that's the official story: in truth, her dad is a member of the Mervanchi family, but he refused to recognize his bastard children. Denya is unaware of this.

Denya survives through odd jobs: guarding a shipment, acting as bouncer for a night... sometimes just carrying packages or dragging crates around town. But she is not content to sit tight in this backwater: she aims to travel the world, and perhaps become famous.
Her main claim to fame right now is her voice, a suave contralto that carries far, and that she has learned to charge with power. So far it hasn't been enough to bring her fame and fortune.

She does not know much about sailing. She spends time every day sparring against sailors, both on solid ground and on the tilting, unstable deck of small boats, to practice her skills and also, hopefully, get noticed by a potential employer. They humor her because she's fun, and skilled in her own way.

What she will be like in-game
Her personality translates into a flashy combat style: while she may not be the most efficient, cold-blooded brawler, she can sure put on a performance, dancing around blows or throwing her opponents around!

She uses her voice to empower allies and weaken enemies in turn.

Description
With her full lips, tilted eyes and long, long hair, Denya has a kind of exotic beauty that does not leave people indifferent.

She likes to get noticed, and wears clothes with many colours, as well as bangles (anklets, bracelets - all sorts!).
The long, sharp weapon she carries shows however that she is not easy prey and knows how to defend herself.

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/22/ea/1d/22ea1d5f83dd26b15fd6199db1250ebc.jpg

Links to some other submissions
She has worked with Eli (rilem) as a bouncer a couple of times; they have similar talents.

She's come across Aron (DrK) while on errands, but doesn't know that they are related.

She could be friends with Cygnia (Abiano) [if the player agrees to it]; they share similar dreams.

Brannick the Bold

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/81/1d/98/811d984c4e6f54477eb8126d84f30b2e.jpg

Description

Tall and strong, Brannick stands like a regal noble lord, he has the bearing, but upon closer inspection, he is a little rugged around the edges. His steel blue eyes pierce through his ruggedness, contrasting to his grey hair and beard, almost as if he has seen things. His tagged but yet, royal looking cloak hang on his shoulders, with his royal blue coat underneath.

Personality

Brannick is a thoughtful man, and applies this to all of his actions, attempting to figure things out, and apply the correct amount of effort as is appropriate. While smart, he is more of a social butterfly, and can rub elbows with nobles and beggars alike, a poor facsimile of a Paladin.

Background

Brannick is a bastard son of a noble long dead to the city, though their ancestors may remain within the city proper as the elite. Not So for Brannick, being the bastard son, he was given no heed, and was left to fend for himself. His family dates back to the old Suel Empire. And, having stumbled upon an ancient grimoire of Ancient Suloise, he realized what he found was perhaps valuable to some, he absconded with the tome, and fled the city. He became a self made man on a mission, he was hunting for anything that could help him read his book, so he could learn its secrets and unlock them. Hopefully becoming something along the way, and not having to rely on his family, who doesn't even recognize him anyway.

He has found his way back to the city of his origins, book in hand, and new, but old language learned, what could he find here that could help him on his transformative journey....

Mechanics

Fighter into Suel Archanamach

So... 17, 16, 15, 15, 9, 9...? I can work with that.

[rypt]

Mechanically, I know I want to do something with skirmish. Probably something with Swift Hunter and Mystic Ranger, maybe stir in some Sword of the Arcane Order and Swiftblade down the road?

As far as fluff goes, I'm thinking the younger brother and former sparring partner of a competitive duelist who becomes indentured to a pirate crew after his older brother tries to bet on and fix his own bouts. When the older brother's scheme is discovered, he skips town, leaving his younger brother to deal with the fallout. Maybe his period of servitude is just ending at the start of the campaign, or maybe the rest of his ship's crew has just been killed in some way that serves as a hook for the campaign moving forward.

Aron Mervanchi
https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/PZO92105-FirstEmporerTaldaris.jpg

Description

A tall and regal looking young man with a handsome face, tousled dark black hair and piercing green eyes he is normally garbed in fine noble's robes and stout work clothes for his day job. As a magic user he tries to keep an air of mystery around and his clothes are normally accented by a range of (non-magical) charms and fetishes that lend credibility to his day job in Blenakk's Bazzaar.

Personality

Aron comes across as friendly, approachable and with a naive love for magic that you'd expect for one that works in a magic shop having been expelled from The Witchwarden Tower having fallen afoul of Magister Lux. Behind the banal facade that he shows to the clients in the shop, (a job that he managed to get thanks to his father Zebula's influence with Master Blenakk (and his obscure tastes that Zebula can cater for at Minx Market in the merchant district) however Aron is calculating, and has a lust for power, knowledge and has long viewed that magic is the path to that. He is determined in that regard and willing to put himself in some danger to achieve that goal.

Background

The third son of Zebula Mervanchi he grew up in his family's estate in the pampered Noble's district of the city. There he would see the shows and watch with admiration the students going in and out the Witchwarden Tower and practicing minor magics in the shops and cafes in the district. From a young age he didn't want to follow his father into the flesh trade catering for the decadent appetites of the wealthy and instead chose to study magic to gain his own power base. Something that his father actually supported as the noble head of the family could see advantages in a magister in the family.

However, delving too deeply into the libraries in the WItchwarden Tower and getting caught by Mitsress Lux resulted in his rapid expelling from the school and some groveling to his father who arranged a job for him at Blenakk's where he could still pick up elements of magical training and power from the sage and the various patrons of the store. There he also started to dip into moonlighting as a "spell for hire" where he would frequent the Six Swords in the Champions district or the Notched Axe in the shadowshore to raise funds. This has led to an improvement in his magical skills, even if also more frequent needs of the apothecaries... Its also given him a small reputation as a reliable and discreet spell caster who can be relied upon in a scuffle, even if that has mainly been confined to events within the city or once, helping with a strange monstrous beast that had waylaying caravans of the Kellani family on their plantation.

Mechanics

To be confirmed.... he's going to be an arcane caster. But currently not sure if it will be straight wizard, beguiler, rogue/wizard/arcane trickster or a gish... But mainly arcane caster.

This is really cool, Though I don't think a Mervanchi needs an actual job, if any, i see the job being like a favor to the family to cater the young Mervanchi's "foolish" dreams of being a wizard.

Background and Personality

Appearing to be of Flan ethnicity at first glance, Abiano has come to Sasserine to make his fortune. Which is true -- for the most part. But he also broke the heart of a petty noble Suel lady named Brandy out in the Duchy of Urnst (he thought it was just a mutual fling -- she wanted something more), so finding passage on a ship to escape her reach and influence is paramount. As a priest of Valkur (Stormwrack, p49) Abiano thinks he can offer fair winds and healing for a canny captain to earn his keep aboard.

Easygoing and optimistic, Abiano is very curious about knowing what else might lie beyond the other coasts -- especially if it might help turn a profit!

[Ancient]

Maybe I have an...idea, let's see what the dice say.

[roll0] +6 = 17
[roll1] +6 = 13
[roll2] +6 = 14
[roll3] +6 = 16
[roll4] +6 = 15
[roll5] +6 = 16

[Rilem]

Broad outline: Big, strong bard (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2883292) built around drinking songs and sea shanties. (Bard isn’t strictly necessary; anything with Str+Cha+Boosting Allies works fine, but leaning toward Savage(UA) Bard to start, possibly mixing in a level of Barbarian or Crusader to reflect bouncer duties.

Long term … BardX/Crusader4 or … there is a Church of the Whirling Fury in Sasserine, though pretty sure it's secret … Bard/Bbn/Champion of Gwynharwf? (Just spitballing here; absolutely not settled on anything beyond “strong bard”)


There's somebody like Elliot on every boat. And in every bar, for that matter. And Elliot himself has spent much of his life in one or on the other.

He spent his childhood with his fisherman father, trawling the near shores off of Sasserine. Nearly drowned in a storm at age 16, after which he promised his mother he’d stay off the water.

These days he’s the most popular person at his uncle’s bar in the Champion’s District — and would be even if he wasn’t the one pouring drinks. You probably know the guy: He’s the one who starts a song that others join, or who can poke fun at the other regulars without leaving any hard feelings … usually. He’s grown into his frame now and he’s a big fella with a big smile — think a young Robbie Coltrane — able to end a bar fight just by announcing it’s over.

He misses the water, though, and he worries that the time’s coming when he’ll have to disappoint his mother.

Please start adding yourself to the table. You can either link to a mythweaver's sheet or link to a single post in this thread and update that post.
I don't need completed builds, but if you already have a mechanical idea, please write it. Any backgrounds from selected players will be re-worked with the player cooperation to fit them with the setting. Therefore, feel free to post any idea as part of your background and we will see if that fits or not. The theme is important to me, generic DND feels flat. There will also be boons and tailor made stuff for selected characters, because that's what I do in my games, but these will be based on the theme and feel of the character.
For the purpose of this table, summarize your background in a couple of words: "Hunter and Good Husband"

After a quick search on Sasserine, I made her an (unknowing) bastard of the Mervanchi. That would make her a cousin (possibly distant - I read there are a lot of them!) of Aron - hope that's not an issue, DrK; I can change it still.

[Auranghzeb]

General recommendation is that you all keep an open mind about the future build. Because I'd love to stay on theme, many PrCs will not necessarily be available if they have non-explicit but embedded role playing-requirements. Others may have requirements waved if they fit the character's actions and roleplaying. Others may sound like a great idea on paper, but then you realize that they suck in this adventure, and other that are very niche may be great for this adventure. So keep an open mind. There will be plenty of room to make unique characters, But I just don't like to get into the particulars of that on an open recruitment thread because people try to get very specific.

[Alhallor]

I have a weird idea that may not be allowed but I at least wanted to roll.

A seafaring adventure sounds pretty fun.

I'll close this to new interest.

TBH, there will be no Shortlist. I'll jump into straight player selection either tonight or early tomorrow. There are 10 submissions, if I short list to 6 I'll feel worse to cut those 2 last players. So let's rip the band-aid and just go with four straight away. Selection TOnight or Tomorrow. Then well have a week and a half to finish characters and intertwine backgrounds. I'll be traveling for work from Sunday to the 7th, so my posting rate those days is going to be significantly slower than normal.

I made something weird, I may be already out but I at least wanted to give it a try.

I would like to Request the Dragonfire Adept from Dragon Magic and.

THIS!

Reefclaw:

Small.

+2 Dex, -6 Int

Aberration,

Amphibious, +8 bonus to swim.

2 Natural claws (1d4 damage)

3x + Con modifier poison (1d2 Str damage 1st and 2nd DC 15)

Gain Swim and Survival as class skills.

20 ft movement speed at land (normally 5 ft. I'm willing to spend a feat to get this movement)

40 ft swim speed

The tables seem to hate me and after 30 minutes of trying to figure it out I give up.

"Little Reefy" (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/?id=2882436)

I would also like something cool instead of 500 Gold.

[Auranghzeb]

Lol, I love that character. I'll add it to the table. Gotta say it's too weird for this Adventure Path. But everyone who expressed interests before today gets a fair chance.

Then there's the fact that apparently Reefclaw meat is a delicacy... lol. Not saying no, It will be considered with the others.

No idea why the table is not working when the same code is working perfectly elsewhere.

So:

Bel, Drk, Rilem, Proudgognard

Please join me in the OoC (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?664894-Aurangh-s-Savage-Tide-OG-OoC&p=25969695#post25969695)


There were two other characters I liked a lot, but I didn't want to make 6players shortlist and then cut down two people after having them fully develop a character.

Thanks!

So it goes. Have fun, folks!

[Starbuck_II]

Congrats to those who made it.
