Wow. Playing lvl 20?

I think I'll try.

[Yas392]

Tentative interest.

[razorback]

Posting interest.
Not sure what, yet, but will play around.

Edit: probably something-something-Arcane Archer.

I had thought of running this adventure at one point, as people were looking for an epic game. I went in a different direction, though, so I never ended up tracking the module down (I had just done a google search for epic adventures to find it existed). I will express interest early, and will work on coming up with an interesting concept for a character.

[JNAProductions]

Sounds fun. I could whip up a duder-mah-jigger.

[Heavenblade]

Im very very VERY interested in this game, have a few potential ideas

Ill post something soon!

[JNAProductions]

Question: Can I craft stuff pre-game?

[Final]

Question: Can I craft stuff pre-game?

No pre craft stuff. Should be noted that the adventure does have a time constraint without too much spoiler, so crafting in game or crafting builds are basically not recommended.

[Triskavanski]

I think I've got some ideas.

[CasualViking]

I'm gonna start whipping up a level 20 Rajah; that's going to be support and healing more or less sorted out.

[Modigar]

I think I'd like to throw a DSP Psion in for this.

[Anomander]

I'm definitely interested here!

How about the races available - any guidance on them? Nagaji are striking my fancy at the moment for a reptilian Unchained Rogue, or maybe a Cavalier (Mother's Fang).

[In4Dimensions]

Ooh, level 20! I’ll try to whip something up.
Question: are Spheres of Power/Magic allowed?

Races in the listed materials are available, so yes Nagaji are available.

Question: are Spheres of Power/Magic allowed?

No spheres for this adventure.

[Yas392]

Any pathfinder subsystems allowed e.g combat stamina, words of powers, called shots, etc? Can we choose campaign traits?

[Heavenblade]

Ill be building a swashbuckler/something ifrit who optimizes the blistering feint feat line, details soon.

Combat stamina is allowed.

No campaign traits.

[Nishai]

Hmmm I can work on a couple ideas. Havent done an epic level game in ages.

[Thunder999]

A level 20 one shot sounds fun. Got a few questions.
Is pregame crafting allowed?
Are there any classes or feats that aren't allowed (for example the infamous leadership and sacred geometry)?

[Morbis Meh]

I think I will make a wizard, always need some magic!

[kinem]

I'm thinking of trying this as a paladin … unless that would be overpowered. IMO PF paladins are OP at high level. Though this could be a way to test that theory.

[Nishai]

So what races are we allowed to use? The op makes me think any but that feels like a bit much.

First question that was asked in the thread: No pregame crafting.
As for classes and feats, everything from the materials listed are allowed. In the case of leadership or anything like it, all npcs are made like npcs (heroic array etc...).

They are nice and often comes in handy in most campaign.

So what races are we allowed to use? The op makes me think any but that feels like a bit much.

This question was asked before but sure, all races from the materials listed (only materials listed) are allowed.

[Nishai]

Whoops didn't notice that it was already asked. Alright I think I have an idea for a character, the warrior poet samurai Archetype has striked my fancy since it was added to the game and I've never gotten a chance to play it. This would be a legendary swordsman that has traveled the world over.

[Yas392]

No campaign traits.

Thanks. That will set a guideline to what I want to build. Right now, currents thoughts lean towards full caster/manifester or one of the PoW classes with utility.

[In4Dimensions]

Is there any chance that I could change the PoW Warlord’s Initiating Ability from Charisma to Intelligence? My character idea would work better with a more tactical leader than an emotions-based one.
