[3.5+ToB/PF +DSP/PoW] GitP Regulars as Maneuvers!

[Red Fel]

We here at Paladins Incorporated would like to publicly state that we appreciate every contribution you make.

... You know, I was going to object to this, but frankly, my font really suits the corporate side of the business far better than it suits the... other side.

I get voting stock, right?

Yes, you get stock in our voting.

Of course, you are head of HR remember?

[Snowbluff]

Actually, that was Snowbluff that made him a vampire and me with figuring out how to make him LG again.

Hey, that's not fair! I didn't know it was communicable in that manner!

Vampirism always finds a way. Just like dinosaurs. Remember kids don't create a park full of one gender of dinosaurs with frog DNA, unless you get frog DNA with the NeoPhoenix Chaos Corp. seal of approval.

*appropriate Archer reference*

Let's just forget about it and see where the night takes us.

Oh.

OOOOOH.

[LoyalPaladin]

Probably a good time to point out that my previous Paladine breeding with a Tiefling comment wasn't truly curiosity. We were finding out sooner or later.

Let's just forget about it and see where the night takes us.

I heard that last night too. Suddenly Snowbluff is preggo and I'm a vampire. Never. Trust. That. Statement.

[NeoPhoenix0]

But i practically live that statement.

[Sith_Happens]

You don't want to do monsters, paladin. To witness my true form is to gaze into the heart of sorrow and know, in the deepest parts of your soul, that all who live and die are doomed to woe.

...It's Excalibur, isn't it? Your true form is Excalibur.

On a more serious note, the skill-ranks modifier aspect of that ability is really strong. I'd limit it to be only usable when actually in combat, so that if the character wants max ranks in everything they have to at least frame everything as a fight of some sort.

Isn't that just called "Yelling enough?"

That's a lot better than where I'm at right now. Six alarms in fifteen-minute intervals somehow failed to get me out of bed in time for my exam this morning, so I'm scrambling to find out if/how I can make it up. It's proving really difficult to not completely flip out and enter full-panic mode at this point
I'm not looking for pity or anything; feel free to not respond. Just wanted to vent somewhere and decided this would do.

Meanwhile, I'm just here like:

To be fair, it'll probably be stillborn thanks to one of my templates, my non-specific gender, and the fact that I've been dead for at least 2 millennia.

Meanwhile, I'm just here like:

Here, use this.

[LoyalPaladin]

Meanwhile, I'm just here like:

That made me laugh audibly. So yes, I literally laughed out loud.

Huh, so we are going to get a Dhampir/Necropolitan Half-Tiefling Aasimar whose favored class is Paladin? The poor child... imagine the level adjustment.

[illyahr]

Not as bad as my drow half-dragon half-fiend. 1HD, ECL 10

So:
Unholy Scion +5
Phrenic +2
Unseelie is 0, yay
Half Vampire +2

I think that's all of my inheritable templates.

Then Aasimar +1

[dysprosium]

I know we don't necessarily need to have the Sandbox Goliath be associated with any specific class because of Martial Study feats (and the PoW equivalents).

I know there isn't a way to add the Sandbox Goliath discipline to one of the Tome of Battle classes without DM fiat. Is this the same with the PoW classes or is there some kind of pick and choose mechanic that would allow it?

Maybe a better question would be what classes (ToB and/or PoW) would be the best fit for the Sandbox Goliath?

Wait a second. If your a vampire and I'm a vampire... then shouldn't it be a Vampire +8?!

Maybe a better question would be what classes (ToB and/or PoW) would be the best fit for the Sandbox Goliath?

It could a prestige class called Sandstorm Swordsman. Haha.

In Path of War there are currently two ways to add a discipline to your list without getting into archetypes or prestige classes.

You can use the trait Unorthodox Method, which allows you to trade one discipline on your class discipline list for any other discipline (and trading the associated discipline skills as well). Or you can use a Martial Tradition, which is an organization you join and swear an oath to. Each discipline has an associated Martial Tradition and some small side benefits for joining.

[Milo v3]

I'm rather happy that I'm just a tiefling, so much simpler without the templates flying everywhere.

Crusader and Mystic for the randomness and probably Warlord because of it's flare for the dramatic.

[Snowbluff]

I never said it was my blood.... wait...

Traditions are a mechanic added in PoW that give you the school. We're working on a tradition that should work like an organization, so you can pick it up that way.

Also, we should add a stipulation for swordsage and master of nine. Those would be best, due to the varied nature of the effects.

[LoyalPaladin]

I never said it was my blood.... wait...

Suddenly I am an equal amount of worried and concerned.

[IZ42]

So we've got the Vampiric Paladin, the *horrible conglomeration of templates* psycho, the straight tiefling, the dragonborn initiator, and the Half-celestial Celestial-blessed Saint Monk.

[Zaydos]

What about the half-dragon necromancer? I'll sic plants on you. Zombie plants.

[Elricaltovilla]

So we've got the Vampiric Paladin, the *horrible conglomeration of templates* psycho, the straight tiefling, the dragonborn initiator, and the Half-celestial Celestial-blessed Saint Monk.

I can kinda figure out who the rest of these are, but who's the bolded one? Cuz weren't you trying to be Neutral Evil or something?

[Snowbluff]

I have the Saint Template, too.

Suddenly I am an equal amount of worried and concerned.

Oh, uh... it's not my blood... but I'm keeping it for a friend.

[illyahr]

Let's not forget the Half-Fey Half-Elf Bard.

[Extra Anchovies]

With all this talk of templates, maybe that could be our next thread? GitP Regulars as Templates or Combinations of Existing Templates?

*David Tennant crying*

Worry not! Other people had legitimate reasons to miss the exam time and are making it up later today, and my TA is letting me join them!

[Elricaltovilla]

We should really just pick one already. It's not like we aren't going to do the rest of them at some point.

Hmm... Suppose I "could" work as some homebrew Cultist Descended template or something in a future thread...
