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

[LoyalPaladin]

Payroll here, get back to writing maneuvers or I'm going to 'lose' your timesheets.

Now we wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

It's time for the silliness! I, illyahr the bard, give my permission.

Let's get musical.

The Sound of Steel
Discipline: Sandbox Goliath (Boost)
Level: 3
Prerequisites: Two Sandbox Goliath Maneuvers
Casting Time: 1 Swift Action
Range: 30ft
Area: 30ft Centered on you
Duration: A number of rounds equal to your initiator level.

When you are in a tavern, you play music to promote joy. When you're on the battle field, you play music to promote death.

Description
When you activate this boost, you draw your weapon across another piece of metal equipment you have, as if playing it like a violin. The sound resonates across the battlefield.

To use this boost, you take a swift action to make a Preform check. For every 10 points you get from your result, you may add 10ft to the radius of this maneuver. Those in range to hear must make a will save of 10 + your initiator level or become shaken for the duration of the maneuver.

Is it a stance, strike, or boost? Block says stance, standard actions are typical of strikes, text says boost. AOE shaken might be strong for a level 1 boost.

Hahaha... I got so excited that I didn't proof read it. Anyways, is that better? Level increase, wording, and type of action is fixed.

It still uses a standard action.

Milo's Encouraging Triple Strike
Sandbox Goliath (Strike)
Level: 7th
Prerequisites: 2 Sandbox Goliath maneuvers.
Initiation Action: Full-Round Action.
Range: Melee attack.
Target: 1 to 3 creatures.
Duration: 1 round.

You strike out in three quick blows, inspiring by your example and encouraging allies to greater fervor.

When you initiate this maneuver you may make up to 3 melee attacks at your highest attack bonus. Each attack deals its normal damage and with each successful attack you may select an ally other than yourself within 20-ft, that ally gains a +3 moral bonus to attack and damage for 1 round.

[LoyalPaladin]

*agitated twitch* It is at this point, children. Where the paladin is having a hard time limiting the number of gifs he puts out.

Edit:
Also, we need level 1 maneuvers. We can't take any maneuvers without them!

[stack]

In PoW, you can get second level maneuvers without 1st.

I did make a 1st level boost.

Huh, interesting.

Oh, next sweep I will grab that then.

Woops, I got to go fix the maneuver I wrote. It shoudl have a prereq, since I bumped it to level 3.

[dysprosium]

I think it will be interesting to see the entire discipline statted out for Sandbox Goliath.

The games I play/DM are usually 3.P so what classes would be the most appropriate for this discipline?

We don't know yet. BUT you don't need one. You get get the maneuvers with traits or feats. We might work on a tradition, too. That's why I made it all one school.

So, guys... we need a skill and a tradition. Voting time?

In all honesty, I'm not sure if there is a one-skill-fits-all here.

Well, we could go with a real tryhard skill like perception, or Knowledge: Martial/Martial Lore for the knowing stuff component of the forum.

Well with the Background skill system in Pathfinder it could be Artistry (Game Mechanics).

Nope, straight up no for every reason imaginable. It's not a skill, it's PF only (for a 3.5/PF thing), and it's from an awful subsystem that diverted resources from consolidating the knowledge skills. No.

[illyahr]

Since Snowbluff keeps these going, I'm voting for Bluff.

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the maneuver, LP. I love it.

[Red Fel]

Knowledge (Psychology and insanity).

Alternatively: SAN checks. Yes, I know it's the wrong system. That's the joke.

[Lord_Gareth]

We also have the issue of multiple capstone maneuvers thus far. That's kinda...Against Da Rules, design-wise.

Never really cared for only having one 9th per style anyway.

That's a rather apoplectic reaction for what I thought was an obvious joke.

[Snowbluff]

Unlike the others, that could be interpreted as a legitimate option. I can't let everything by lest someone takes it seriously. No background skills are valid for this. Sorry.

Well, it would be on the strong side for a school with the way this is going. You're right in that people should work on filling out the lower level abilities. I'd rather see a few more 1-2 and 8 abilities.

However, we don't really have to follow rules like that, and I can't really enforce them. We ain't part of your system.

[Lord_Gareth]

What, you're not complaining about yours, are you?

I was both surprised and pleased by mine, but mine's not a capstone. It's not part of the problem :p

[LoyalPaladin]

I actually approve of Knowledge: Martial Lore. +1 Vote

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the maneuver, LP. I love it.

You are very welcome, sir bard.

Seconded!

I suggest Knowledge, any Knowledge should do.

We, all of us here, discuss our collective knowledge and each Maneuver and Stance comes from our Knowledge of each other. Of course it would be rather disjointed not to limit ourselves to a single Knowledge Skill per Maneuver/Stance if we were to use Knowledge as our Skill.


Our tradition here is to study the world(s) of the game and learn the various cultures, and techniques of others. Understanding is power.
By understanding the other disciplines we gain the knowledge of how to fight such foes as those who specialize in any given discipline. We are tranquil during peace when there is no knowledge to gain, but during talks and conflict, the moment we find an opening, we become a dervish of furious energy, ready to make the greatest possible use of such an opening.


How's that for a Skill and Tradition?

[Extra Anchovies]

I'm seconding the suggestion of Knowledge (any) for discipline skill.

If you're getting it from me, it is most likely axiomatic. But I won't press the issue.

Axiomatic water? How does that work? Water molecules are anything but orderly...

Wait, it's just ice, isn't it?

Someday I would like a tank paladin class. 12 HD and all Auras. Lose the smite ability and gain a taunt. That'd be sweet.

Ooh! Ooh! Have one that I made!

It's literally everything you just mentioned. D12 HD, eight simultaneous auras (more if you want them), and not only a taunt but a bunch of other aggro pull abilities (blocking attacks against nearby allies, damaging enemies who damage allies other than you, etc) and some AoE buffs/debuffs. The fluff is sorta-similar to a paladin's, but instead of devoting themselves to being Lawful Good they pick a cause (which can be basically whatever you want; if I ever play one they'll be trying to start a communist revolution), and don't have an alignment restriction. It's a finished class as it is now (the only things going on are me adding more optional content and tweaking the balance of one core ability), but it's for Pathfinder so I'm not sure if it's useful to you.

You know what? I like this too.

This is very impressive. I could be illyahr, the bardic champion. Bow before my massive field control abilities!

What? No... that'd be silly... *quickly pulls ice cube tray out of the freezer*

Oh my, that is pretty neat! I'll have to give this a good look see when I get home and can throw it up on my big screen. Haha.

See Planar Handbook, page 76.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see what shenanigans this is. Pulling my copy of PLH when I get home.

Oh, uh...I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, it's just holy water for a different alignment.
