Ok also what about Anti-Paladin? I just remembered why I never play a paladin so I am curious about the anti-paladin thing.

I don't really want any CE characters, because that wouldn't fit with the plot. I will, however, allow you to burn the alignment restrictions.

Thank you for letting me burn the alignment restrictions (argh I freaking hate allignment restrictions, I can never be a paladin or a monk in regular D&D) so we should avoid evil characters? Also I half want to be a human priest and put my points in the most random stuff and see if I could make it work. Hmm are monks allowed? I want to try one if I can avoid the allignment thing on it.

Eastern setting. Monks.

Yeah, I think that that's going to happen by very definition. And yes, you can have a chaotic monk.

Is there any specific races you do not want us to play? I am starting my app today though it will probably still be atleast 3 days before I am done it.

by **Shadyrya** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:28 pm

Jorm.

I can't do this.

Damphir ninja! Just make it, dammit!

Anything stupid. Try to evade 3pp stuff for your race, although classes are perfectly fine.

Okay, let's take it real slow. First, read this. Just familiarise yourself with what each of your six abilities do. Then we can move onto the next section.

I want to be a ratfolk monk just for the reference but I know it would end horribly (it's small and has low strength)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the rat is the leader of them and is an epic monk.

Ratfolk wizard would be pretty epic. All wizards need INT and DEX. However, a ratfolk would not really be setting appropriate.

Ok I am done writing for now so I am just leaving this incomplete app here till I have enough time to continue working on it.

A few things:
Your CHA modifier is -2, while the DEX one is indeed 1, as is the INT one. You can't leave a point over, put it in CON or something. I make your HP as 32.

For ease of writing it up, your BAB will be 4, CMB +7, CMD 24.

by **Hamste** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 2:57 pm

Ok edited, no idea what those three stats you told me meant.

by **Jormengand** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 3:02 pm

Hamste wrote:Ok edited, no idea what those three stats you told me meant.

Base attack bonus, Combat manoeuvre bonus and combat manoeuvre defence.

Do you seriuosly not know what BAB is? :blink:

And your CMD's higher than that, for being a monk.

EDIT: Actually, I got a bit more wrong. Your CMB is 9, your CMD's 26

by **Jormengand** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 3:07 pm

I've a good idea, why don't you just read up on CMB, CMD and monks and work it all out yourself?

by **Hamste** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 3:23 pm

Ok I think I have got it now (atleast till I add feats which will probably modify it)

by **Khytenna** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 3:36 pm

wait is there an actual book for Pathfinder on eastern settings or is it just an old DnD book that you are converting the rules

It's a point buy system. This doesn't mean that the 25 points are spread between the 6 abilities; it means instead that each ability starts at a base number (I think 8 ) and then you "buy" higher scores using points. There's a table that tells you how many points to spend to get a certain ability score. So instead of an average ability score of 4, you probably end up with something more like an average ability score of 12. It's a system that was devised to take some of the randomization out of character creation and ensure that PCs are all in the same league, rather than some PCs having mostly high scores, or a really high score in one ability, and other PCs being average or below average. It likely grew out of the different methods for rolling ability scores that were presented in 2nd edition.

Waaah! *clutches head in confusion* I'm trying to keep up, I really am... I'm going to go find the online PHB and copy-paste it to a word document so that I can use it at school, then wade through the character creation process as the handbook presents it. It might take forever, so just bear with me. (It doesn't help that I have to modify him up to level six as I go, either; I've never started a character at anything other than level one.)

...what the hell is an Oread?

P.S. This point-buy-system thing is confusing the crap out of me. Is it okay if I just roll for my ability scores? I promise not to cheat.

P.P.S. Who or what is Shad?

Look at the SRD which I linked to in the OP. There's an eastern weapon table, eastern armour table and some distributed eastern classes.

You don't have to know what an Oread is.

The point-buy system is simple. If you want one of your ability scores to be 11, then you must pay a single point for that ability score. If you want it to be 16, you must spend 10, as given in Table: Ability Score Costs. When you run out of points, then that is your ability score line.

Shad, as in this one.

interesting setting, played path finder and ran my own games, how will you run it over the internet?

by **Memnoch de Marbulia** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 1:36 am

Mine so far...tired, quitting now.

by **Firstaria** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 2:55 am

Still open for sub?

May I also suggest to use something like this, since is usually a PAIN to create a sheet from sheer nothingness?
