Captain Walker posted:Wasn't actually expecting this You mean use pistols or muskets as ranged weapons instead of bows (but with bow/crossbow/knives/... mechanics)? Sure! It fits the theme nicely (also, that way, the "guns" on the ship can be actual cannons.

In that case, Rattles might have to rock a musket instead of a crossbow. Also, I added this in my character sheet, but I want to run it by you in case you didn't notice, but it says that warriors get a melee weapon of their choice and a ranged weapon if they wanted it. What I basically did was, thematically, the crossbow (which will probably be a rifle now if you're allowing firearms) is just raw and heavy, so instead of pulling out a warhammer, he just beats you with the crossbow (rifle) for warhammer damage. Would that be okay?

This is for the PBP game Hydros One day a glistening man of mighty muscles arose from the sea, the son of the God of the Sea, and a close relative of the Emperor, the man was a stalwart figure of dignity and power. Towering over lesser men he was like unto a god and was gifted with skill upon and within water, as if he was born to water. He traveled the world seeking adventure, often traveling to other lands on one ship or another, on one boat or another. He fought mighty foes and partied mighty parties. And then he was called. The Emperor sent for him, war had broken out and his services were needed for the Armada. And so Hydros answered, to go to war upon the seas. Officially he is listed as only a common hand, though he still stands out quite a bit. Though his true purpose upon the ship has remained a secret from most, save the Captain who was informed as to why the massive man was going to be working on the ship. pre:Hydros Race: Human Class: Stalwart One Unique Thing: The half-mortal son of the God of the Sea Backgrounds Water Born (5 pts) Rowdy Adventurer (3 pts) Icons The Emperor (2 pts Positive) The Priestess (2 pts Positive) [pre] HP 33 REC 08 (1d10+4) Initiative +1 STR 18 (+4) +2cls DEX 10 (+0) CON 18 (+4) +2rcl INT 10 (+0) WIS 10 (+0) CHR 10 (+0) AC 18 PD 16 MD 11 Racial Quick to Fight: At the start of each battle, roll initiative twice and choose the result I want Class Features Greatness: Either have greatness or don't. Do not, normally, start a battle with greatness. Gain greatness when he is hit by an enemy attack. Lose greatness when he misses all enemies with an attack. Also lose greatness when he becomes unconscious, and when a battle ends. The default is that he can use greatness powers without losing greatness, but a few powers specify that he must spend his greatness to use them. Empowered by Fate: Gain 1 relationship point with the Archmage, the Crusader, the Dwarf King, the Emperor, the Lich King, the Priestess, or the Three; I choose whether the point is positive, conflicted, or negative. This point can add to my normal relationship points but can't exceed the normal relationship maximums. When an ally rolls a 5 or 6 on an icon relationship roll with the Icon(s) this feature gave me a relationship point with, I start the next turn in battle with greatness. Extra point added to the Emperor. Strength of Many: Can lift twice and support about as much weight as two otherwise identical creatures normally can, and can move normally while carrying about your own weight (or twice my weight total). Also gain the power of stunt. Power Stunt: At the start of each battle, roll a d6. Any time after the escalation die reaches that number, I'll be able to use a quick action to spend my greatness and execute a power stunt. Normally I can only use power stunt once per battle, but circumstances, geography, or excellent planning may suggest that I can pull it off more than once. Adventurer feat: Instead lift, support, and move normally with a total of about five times the normal amount. Also, roll an additional d20 for power stunt (any time after the escalation die reaches that number gain an additional use of power stunt this battle.

 Thomas Wyndmere, Human Rogue OUT: I bear an Imperial letter of marque authorizing privateer action. Naval Experience: Formerly Quartermaster aboard the Aquila In a world without gold, Thomas Wyndmere and Benjamin Wheeler could have been heroes. For much of the war, Imperial policy had been to simply ban all civilian and merchant traffic from the Midland Sea. But Wheeler, an enterprising young pirate, brazenly ignored the treaty, taking several Drakkenhall-aligned ships before surrendering to an Imperial man-o'-war. That might have been the end of it if it weren't for a quick-thinking young crewman. "Tell the Emperor it ain't piracy if we only sink his enemies," Wyndmere told the Imperial captain. The comment went up the chain with astounding speed for a bureaucracy, and one day Wheeler's cell door was opened and a magically sealed parchment given to him, bearing one sentence. The bearer of this letter is hereby authorized to take whatever measures he finds appropriate against the enemies of the Dragon Crown upon land and sea. Wyndemere was suddenly Quartermaster upon the first Imperial privateer, but the position was short-lived. Tensions with the Captain and disagreement over the course of action the vessel should take meant he served in only four battles aboard the Aquila before she was beached near Anvil due to a brazen maneuver by Wheeler. Seeing the tide turn against him, Wyndmere fled shortly before the ship was destroyed by a Druidic vessel with all hands lost. Wyndmere spent a few weeks in a country inn coasting on his not insignificant pay, telling wild tales of nautical adventure. Before long, though, the money was gone and the sea was calling. Making his way to Axis, Wyndmere vowed to never be sidetracked again from his calling: relieving the Empire's enemies of their coin. Will he stay loyal to the Empire, or will the promise of gold and glory lead him astray? e: btw this is an app for the PBP Captain Walker fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Aug 6, 2014 |

Roll20 application, any day possible. Would settle for Pbp. Fin Level 1 Human Lurker OUT: The last survivor of the bloodline of The Assassin who almost became an Icon during the 10th Age and the secret order of assassins she founded. Icon Relationships: Prince of Shadows - 1 positive - While he has to care for assassins, he never really loved them - except for my family, for reasons only he knows in his heart of hearts. Emperor - 1 conflicted - He has pressed me into loyalty for now, but I am not happy with this arrangement and I fear the day he will decide he's not anymore either. Priestess - 1 negative - She hates our order because she hates assassins and she hates the shadow. Backgrounds: The Streets of Glitterhaegen +3 - Growing up in the shadows of the City of Coins, I learned everything about aquiring those coins through theft, burglary, conning, and all that. Trained in the Sanctum +5 - The rigorous training at the order's sanctum covered preparing and executing a kill, poisoncraft, willpower, and controlling the power of our Shadow Blood. An innocent face +2 - My boyish face does not betray all I've done, been through, and am capable of. Backstory: I was seven when I made my first kill. An older kid accosted me for the fat purse I had just cut off a noble's belt. I fought back and before he knew what was happening, I had pulled my knife and slashed his throat. It felt surprisingly normal, just like picking another pocket. After all, killing is in my blood. I would be four more years before I learned this. On my 13th birthday, a shrouded woman came to me and told me that my parents were assassins, part of a secret order, and that it was my destiny to join that order like all my ancestors. I could barely remember my parents. My mother raised me for the first three years before leaving me to Gallor, an old and seasoned thief. My father only visited occasionally during those first three years and never since. Gallor taught me his craft and introduced me to the guild. I ran with the guild in the streets of Glitterhaegen until the day I followed the shrouded woman. The shrouded woman led me to a secret sanctum of the order of assassins where I was trained for a year before fully joining it. I said the vow and shared the Shadow Blood, pledging my life to the order. The day after that, I was immediately sent out for my first job, killing a woman in Axis who was too talkative about certain things for someone's tastes. Many others followed. I never learned from where the order got its orders or offers or whatever; I only ever did what my seniors told me. Some of the order resented me for my single-mindedness, my obedience, and my talent which others complimented me for, calling me a prodigy, someone who would rise high in the order. This career would never happen, five months ago, the Imperial Army broke into the sanctum which we had always assumed safe from any unknowing eyes and even magic. Many brothers and sisters died trying to hold them off, but eventually the few survivors surrendered. I don't know what happened to the others, but I was taken to a prison camp, mining in the Giantwalk. It might have broken other people, but I handled it well enough. The work was hard, harder than anything I had done before, but I established myself as someone to be left alone. People who gave me trouble had the habit of turning up dead, were they fellow prisoners or guards. Eventually the guards stormed into my cell at night and took me away. I expected that would be the end of me. They dragged me before an Imperial officer who gave me the choice of losing my head for those of my crimes they could prove or giving my skills to the Emperor in these troubles times. Making a decision was hard for me. I never had to make such a big decision on my own before. So I closed my eyes just like I did when the shrouded woman came to me years before and listened to the soft voice that whispered her advice to me for the first time that day and many times since. On that day, she told me that I could not die and let the order die with me, so I joined the Emperor's forces. A magical sigil was tattood on my chest which I was told would allow them to track me down should I forsake the Emperor and I was taken to Axis. So here I am now, about to board a ship for the first time since I had to make a kill in Santa Cora some two years ago, waiting for someone, anyone giving me orders, telling me where to go and who to kill. frankenfreak fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 11, 2014 |
