Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Just putting my character sheet out there. ፨ Audrey Martel Race: Goblin Occupation: Hedge Witch, Sheriff, Former Pirate Alignment: Bitter Rank: Veteran XP: 44 Attributes Agility: d4 Smarts: d12 Spirit: d8 Strength: d4 Vigor: d8 Derived Statistics Charisma: -4 Pace: 4 Parry: 3 Toughness: 6 Power Points: 15 Skills Boating: d4 Climbing: d4 Intimidation: d6 Knowledge(Arcana): d4 Knowledge(Alchemy): d4 Knowledge(History): d4 Notice: d6 Riding: d4 Spellcasting (Smarts): d12 Streetwise: d6 Swimming: d4 Taunt: d6 Hindrances One Leg (Major): With a prosthetic, One Leg acts exactly like the Lame Hindrance, reducing Pace by 2 and running rolls are now a d4. Without a prosthetic, the character’s Pace is 2 and she can never run. She also suffers –2 to Traits that require mobility, such as Climbing and Fighting. A character with one leg also suffers a –2 penalty to her Swimming skill (and Pace). Mean (Minor): This woman is ill-tempered and disagreeable. No one really likes her, and she has trouble doing anything kind for anyone else. She must be paid for her troubles and doesn’t even accept awards graciously. Your character suffers –2 to her Charisma. Ugly (Minor): Unfortunately, this individual hit more than a few ugly sticks on her way down the tree of life. Her Charisma is lowered by 2, and she is generally shunned by members of the opposite sex. Edges Resilient: +2 bonus to Vigor rolls to endure environmental hazards such as severe heat, cold, exhaustion, hunger, thirst, natural poisons and diseases. Keen Nose +2 bonus to Notice, Tracking or Survival checks where a sense of smell could help. Arcane Background (Smarts): This is the Edge your character must purchase to have any sort of magical, psionic, or other supernatural ability. See Chapter Five for a complete description of Arcane Backgrounds. Strong Willed: Characters with strong willpower use their voice, steely stares, or quick wits to unnerve their opponents. Strong Willed adds +2 to a character’s Intimidation and Taunt rolls, as well as her Spirit and Smarts rolls when resisting Test of Wills attacks. New Power x1: An arcane character may learn a new power by choosing this Edge (which may be taken multiple times). She may choose from any powers normally available to her particular Arcane Background. Power Points x1: Wizards, weird scientists, and other arcane types always want more power. This Edge grants them an additional 5 Power Points. Power Points may be selected more than once, but only once per Rank. Powers: Mind Reading Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts Duration: 1 Trappings: Mental invasion. Audrey forcefully enters another person's mind, looking for something. This is an opposed roll versus the target’s Smarts. A success allows her to gain one truthful answer from the subject. The target is aware of the mental intrusion unless Audrey gets a raise. The GM may apply modifiers based on the subject’s mental Hindrances or current state of mind. Burrow Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: 3 (2/round) Trappings: Rapid tunnelling. Audrey stomps her foot and shatters the earth, rapidly tunnelling to wherever she wants. She can remain underground or burrow to anywhere with a Pace equal to the power’s Range. When she emerges, it is in an explosion of dust and debris that gives a -4 penalty to trait rolls in a Small Burst Template centered on her for one turn, unless the target passes an Agility roll at -2. Additional Targets: The power may affect an additional target for every additional Power Point spent, up to a maximum of five targets. Concussion Rank: Novice Power Points: 2 Range: 10/20/40 Duration: Instant Trappings: Telekinetic, sonic. Audrey snaps her fingers, and a sudden explosion of invisible (but very loud) force occurs around her target's body. The damage of the spell is 3d6, and it applies a level of Bumps and Bruises. Additional Damage: The caster may instead create a single 4d6 explosion for 3 Power Points. The more focused blast does not apply Bumps and Bruises. Havoc Rank: Seasoned Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: Instant Trappings: Telekinetic. Audrey waves her arm, and invisible hands drag and throw people in random directions. With a success, she places a Medium Burst Template anywhere within range. Any character touched by the template must make a Strength roll (at –2 if the caster gets a raise). Any target that fails is knocked 2d6” in a random direction (roll a d12 and read the result as a clock facing) and becomes prone. If the target strikes an inanimate object, they are Shaken as well. Targets with cover may subtract the cover modifier from the total distance moved (to a minimum of 0), and flying targets suffer an additional –2 to their Strength roll. Additionally, roll a d6 to see if the flyer is moved toward the ground (1–2), stays level (3–4), or is moved away from the ground (5–6). Additional Effects: For double the Power Points, Havoc affects a Large Burst Template. Gear $95 Peg Leg (Reduces One Leg penalties) Cane (Parry +1, Str+d4) Knife (Str+d4) Horse Saddle Manacles Lantern 20' Rope Backstory Audrey was born in Dilegad, to a carpenter and a boatmaker, and had a decent upbringing. With two working professionals, her family was able to afford a small bit of education for their children, which Audrey in particular excelled at. Not that Audrey ever took much interest in learning, preferring to hang around the docks and with the shady alchemist's kids. When she became an adult, maybe unsurprisingly, she decided that honest work was for fools and joined a privateer ship as their mage's apprentice, managing to impress the older witch with her intellect and the few bits of alchemy she'd picked up. She and her mistress sailed with various pirate or privateer crews for a long while, and Audrey eventually became a formidable witch in her own right. However, the seas of Mote are always dangerous, and it's only a matter of time before any sailor has to face a horrible ship-eating monster. In the middle of the open ocean, a colossal shrimp attacked their vessel, and was driven off only after a desperate battle. Audrey survived, at least, though with one fewer leg and a lot more scars and burns. Her mistress had covered the shrimp in a grease fire, which became a lot less helpful when it got Audrey in its burning jaws. Her left leg had to be amputated at the knee, and most of her body, including her face, is covered in burns and scars from the monster's teeth and poisonous feelers. Better-off than most of the crew, maybe, including her mistress and the captain, but more than bad enough for Audrey to swear off piracy forever. She returned to Laessos and made a living as a wandering witch for a while, until her fearsome reputation got her a job as a sheriff in Wireld, where her hideous disfigurement is both an occasional asset and a perfect representation of her cruelty in her exercise of power. Her reputation for petty tyranny might have something to do with why Eshi is sending her away with the party as a representative of Wireld. Audrey is almost forty, and is a relatively tall, thick, tough-looking goblin woman. She has many serious scars over all parts of her body, including withered skin from the giant shrimp's poison and burns around her left leg, arm, and side of her face. Her left eye is permanently bloodshot, she's missing a chunk of her nose, and her mouth is permanently twisted and scowling. A portion of her greying black hair no longer grows, due to her burns, and the rest is wild and frizzy, held back by a simple headscarf. She wears heavy black clothing and thick, well-worn robes open at the front. To compensate for her missing leg, she wears a simple peg-leg and uses a cane.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Here's my character sheet, too.

Since the appearance of the bloodstained sky she’s devoted herself to researching Ammat-Xan. After learning of the events surrounding Iskania’s fall from power, she’s decided that the threat of Ammat-Xan requires a more urgent response. At least, that’s what she tells people. Unbeknownst to the party, she is also an analyst for Wireld’s intelligence service, specializing in Eressian affairs. Eshi has ordered her to join the party to observe Port Jynt’s most dangerous and unpredictable agents, and to steer their efforts to Wireld’s benefit. EDIT: Swapped Mind Reading for Telekinesis, since Nalyd already has the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Jered Human Insolent Hunter XP: 45 Wounds: 0? Fatigue: 0 Agility: d10 Smarts: d8 Spirit: d8 Strength: d6 Vigor: d6 Shooting: d10 Stealth: d10 Survival: d8 Tracking: d8 Healing: d8 Notice: d6 Swimming: d6 Climbing: d4 Fighting: d4 Parry: 4 Toughness: 6 (5 base, 1 armour) Charisma: -2 (+0 vs humans) Pace: 6 Edges: Woodsman Alertness Marksman Double Shot Trademark Weapon (Braidvine Bow) Elan Hindrances: Curious Illiterate Outsider Parasite Gear: Dagger Braidvine Bow Leather armour Quiver Barbed arrows (20) 20 yards of rope 3 silver coins (?) Braidvine Bow: This bow -- stave and string -- is made from living braidvine, a hardy vine that grows in woven "cables". It functions as a regular bow (page 54) and is a minor artifact with two powers (arcane 1d8e, 10 PP). Entangle The wielder can pull a cordon off the bowstave and fire it at a target or group of targets within 12"/24"/48", rolling arcane versus Agility with a penalty of 0/-2/-4. On a success, the target is wrapped up in braidvine cables. It takes a -2 penalty to Pace and skills linked to Agility and Strength. On a raise, the target is completely bound and rooted to the ground. It cannot move or use skills linked to Agility or Strength. Each following round, a target may make a Strength or Agility roll to break free. Other characters may attempt to free a target by making a Strength roll at -2. This power entangles a single target for 2 PP. Instead of affecting a single target, the cordon may be fired at the ground and affect everyone in a Medium Burst for 4 PP. (This is the Entangle power, page 113). Vine Bridge The wielder can pull a cordon off the bowstave and fire it to create, on a successful arcane roll, a network of vines over a given area. The network extends 12"/24"/48" when taking a penalty of 0/-2/-4 to the roll. This can create a makeshift ladder on a cliff face, or a narrow bridge rooted on both edges of a chasm. The vines can support one armoured humanoid at a time, moving at a Pace of half their Strength die. Using this power cost 3 PP. Backstory/Personality: A lanky human barely out of his teens, Jered is a hunter who spends his time wandering the uncivilized patches of Eressos searching for game. His visits to Port Jynt and the island's other villages for trade are brief. The townsfolk view him with disdain and suspicion. He's not only a human, but a boorish, uncivilized one at that. For his part, Jered has little regard for the niceties of society, and is more than happy to trade the narrow streets for the wide open sky. Those willing to put up with him find him frank and carefree, albeit rash. But his insatiable wanderlust means he's never among company for long. It would have to take some momentous event for that to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Bumping Smarts and Fighting. Stats Name: Leila Rithorn Race: Elf Female Occupation: Traveling Necromancer Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Power Points: 20 Experience: 45 Agility: d6 Smarts: d10 Spirit: d8 Strength: d4 Vigor: d6 Fighting: d6 Riding: d6 Stealth: d4 Spellcasting: d10 Notice: d6 Investigation: d6 Knowledge (Arcane): d8 Persuasion: d8 Pace: 6'' Parry: 7 Toughness: 5 Charisma: 2 Powers Rend Life (bolt w/ necromantic trappings) Rank: Novice PP: 2 Range: 12/24/48 Duration: Instant The caster gestures toward the target and a part of their life-force is ripped away. This deals 3d6 damage and has AP 4. This spell is indirect and cannot miss if successfully cast or benefit from called shots, but the damage is halved if it fails to reach or exceed the TN. If the damage from this spell would incapacitate the victim, instead of rolling on the injury table the victim’s Vigor die is reduced by a die type (to a minimum of d4). The effect of this spell cannot be perceived except through magical means and has no effect against non-living targets (undead, constructs, etc.). Shadow Bolt (bolt w/ dark trappings) Rank: Novice PP: 1 Range: 12/24/48 Duration: Instant A small bolt of elemental darkness flies from the caster’s hand. Upon impact, it deals 2d4+1 damage and envelopes the target in a cloud of darkness, giving a -2 penalty to the target’s sight-based skill rolls (Notice, Fighting, Shooting, etc, assuming the target uses sight to perform these tasks) on their next action. Up to three bolts can be fired at once at 1PP each, or one bolt can be fired that inflicts an additional d4 damage for 2PP. Deathly Presence (fear w/ necromantic trappings) Rank: Novice PP: 2 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: Instant The chilling terror that mortals feel when in the presence of ghosts can be recreated and directed by necromancers. With just a few small, subtle pulses of necromantic energy, they can instill great dread in others. Everyone in a large burst template must make a Fear check, at -2 if the caster got a raise. The spell is also imperceptible except through magical means. Animate Dead (zombie w/ necromantic trappings) Rank: Veteran Novice PP: 2/corpse Range: Smarts Duration: 1 hour, 1d6 hours with a raise, 1 day with two (Spending double PP makes it 2d6 hours, 2d6 days with a raise, permanent with two) Though a few gestures and some chanting, a necromancer can imbue a corpse with unnatural life. The resulting undead is bound to serve its creator for as long as it exists. Spectral Servant (zombie w/ necromantic trappings) Rank: Veteran Novice PP: 3/spirit Range: Smarts Duration: 1 hour, 1d6 hours with a raise, 1 day with two (Spending double PP makes it 2d6 hours, 2d6 days with a raise, permanent with two) This spell calls a minor ghost to appear and binds it to serve the caster for the duration of the spell. The resulting spirit is an ethereal creature capable of limited interaction with the physical world (move small objects, turn door handles, etc.). It remembers little to nothing of its former life. Once the spell expires the spirit is sent back to where it came from. Grave Speak Rank: Seasoned PP: 4 Range: Touch Duration: 3 (1/round) This spell allows the caster to contact a departed soul. To do this, the spell must be directed at a particular soul and the caster must either know the name of the deceased or have access to a personal item (part of their corpse, a treasured item, etc.). If the spell succeeds, a ghostly voice makes itself known and may be questioned. One question may be asked for each round the spell is active. The spirit is not necessarily friendly and may lie, but it cannot refuse to answer or make guesses. The spirit only knows whatever it knew in life. Shadowstep (Burrow w/ dark trappings) Rank: Novice PP: 3 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: 3 (2/round) The caster steps into the shadows and vanishes. While merged in this way, they are able to transport themselves to any area covered by darkness within range as a movement action. They may step out of the shadows at their current location as a free action – making a Stealth roll opposed by the opponent’s Notice if attempting to ambush someone. On a raise, this gives the benefits of the Drop (+4 attack and damage), and gives half the benefits for a success. The spell requires shadows of at least human size to work, and if the shadow currently being used ceases to exist, the caster (and anyone else in it) instantly reappears and the spell expires. The spell can affect up to five targets, at 1 PP per target beyond the first. Undead Roster Servant Ghost: Quantity: 1 Duration: permanent Agility: d4 Smarts: d6 Spirit: d6 Strength: d6 Vigor: d4 Stealth: d8 Notice: d10 Pace: 6” Parry: 2 Toughness: 6 Ethereal Undead Zombie Roc: Quantity: 1 Duration: permanent Agility: d6 Smarts: d4 Spirit: d6 Strength: d12+9 Vigor: d8 Fighting: d10 Intimidation: d8 Notice: d4 Pace: 6” Parry: 7 Toughness: 16 Huge Flight Fearless Undead Weakness (Head) Talons d6, AP 4 Blessed Zombie: Quantity: 5 Duration: permanent Agility: d6 Smarts: d4 Spirit: d4 Strength: d10 Vigor: d8 Fighting: d8 Intimidation: d6 Notice: d4 Pace: 4” Parry: 7 Toughness: 7 Small Evasion Limited Flight Fearless Undead Weakness (Head) Claws d6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Oh, I need to do my level. Bumping Agility (and retroactive Riding) Bekora Tiquo Human Mechanic XP: 45 (Advancement 9) Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Power Points: 10/10 [spoileralt=Skills and Derivatives] Agility: d10 Smarts: d10 Spirit: d4 Strength: d4 Vigor: d4 Investigation: d10 Knowledge (Engineering): d10 Knowledge (Geography): d8 Notice: d8 Repair: d10 Riding: d10 Shooting: d10 Spellcasting: d10 Streetwise: d6 Parry: 2 Toughness: 4 Charisma: +0 Pace: 6 Arcane Background (Magic): 10 PP, 3 powers MacGyver: May improvise temporary gadgets Scholar: +2 to two different Knowledge skills Steady Hands: Ignore unstable platform penalty; Running penalty reduced to -1 Gadgeteer: Once per session, can create Weird Science object from spare parts Machine Empathy: Can touch structure or mechanical device to get flash of insight into creator's intentions. +2 bonus to all Repair or Knowledge (Engineering) with device. Once per session, may hold a device and learn something about creator (draw card, Signs and Portents in Horror Companion) Ageless: All negative effects of Elderly nullified. No need to sleep, can make natural healing rolls (1 p/d), receive +2 Vigor rolls to hunger/thirst/env rolls. Trademark Weapon - Giken Nomang: See Gear, below Elderly: Pace –1, –1 to Strength and Vigor die types; +5 skill points for any skill linked to Smarts Loyal: Bekora tries to never betray or disappoint her friends Stubborn: Bekora always wants her way Parasited: Bekora is host to an Ammat-Xan parasite, and may have to roll Spirit to avoid Compulsions. [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Gear] Horse Crowbar Hammer 20 yards of rope Iron spikes (10) Shortbow Quiver Barbed arrows (19) Revolver Ammo (19) [spoileralt=Giken Nomang]Weird Science Artifact Revolver: 10PP - Effect: For 2PP per shot, Giken Nomand charges the bullet with electrical force, creating an arc between the target and the weapon. This causes +4 bonus electrical damage (+2AP versus metallic clothing or armour) A revolver, a long-lost artifact from ancient times. Giken Nomang has been faithfully restored and modified by the mechanic Bekora Tiquo of Eressos. All components of the six-shot weapon have been reblued and the grip has been replaced by wood carved from a branch of a Halitarn Noble Tree. Fine copper wires are inlaid elaborately throughout the device, winding around the barrel, throughout the receiver, and into the wood of the grip. Charged with the spirit of electricity, the gun tingles the hand of anyone touching it. This can be uncomfortable for people not experienced with electrical energy or magic in general. To someone not familiar with Giken Nomang, it operates just as a standard revolver. Only in the hands of an expert does it unleash its true power: As the shot is fired, the spirit within the revolver charges the bullet passing through the barrel with electrical force, and the result is spectacular. The copper tendrils covering the weapon flash a brilliant white-blue as the shot is fired. Its target will be struck simultaneously by lead and lightning, with arcing electricity linking the bullet back to the revolver's spirit. This weapon is not known for its subtlety. [/spoileralt] [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Spells] [spoileralt=Chain Lightning (custom power, based loosely on Bolt)] Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 Range: 12/24/48 (+special) Duration: Instant Trappings: Electrical arc An electric current originates from the caster and passes through a series of enemies. A normal success hits two targets, which must be within 4 units of each other; each raise adds another target, which must be within 4 units of the previous target. All targets take 2d6 damage, and Chain Lightning ignores up to 2 points of Armour. [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Forcecage (based on Damage Field)] Rank: Seasoned Power Points: 4 Range: Touch Duration: 3 (2 PP/round maintenance after duration expires) Trappings: Electrical field An electric field envelops the target, dealing 2d6 (2d8 with raise) damage (2 AP) to anyone who contacts them in close combat. If the target attacks unarmed, add Str+2d6 (Str+2d8 with raise) damage (2 AP). Target can also touch (+2 Fighting) to do 2d6/2d8 damage (2 AP). Grappled opponents take field damage every attacker's round. If target becomes very wet (as in heavy rain or having a bucket thrown on them) field will short out, disappear, and deal 2d6 (2d8 with raise) damage (2 AP) to target. [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Summon Elemental (Summon Ally)] Rank: Novice Power Points: 3+ Range: Smarts Duration: 3 (1 PP/round maintenance after duration expires) Trappings: Creates an elemental servant under the control of the caster. [spoileralt=Lightning Spirit (Seasoned-rank lightning elemental)] Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d4, Spirit d8, Strength d6, Vigor d6 Pace: 8, Parry: 7, Toughness: 5 Skills: Fighting d8, Shooting d6 Special Abilities Elemental: Having no discernible body parts, the lightning spirit normally suffers no additional damage from called shots. It is also immune to fear, intimidation, disease and poison. Assault and Battery: The lightning spirit can batter itself against enemies to shock them. Treat this as a natural weapon inflicting Str+d4 damage with 1 point of armour piercing. Anything that strikes the spirit with an unarmed attack, makes a successful grapple attempt, or otherwise touches it with an unprotected body part also automatically takes damage as if struck by this attack. Capacitance: The lightning spirit is animated by electrical energy. A very powerful shock can short it out, but lesser currents only energise it. It effectively has Improved Arcane Resistance against electrical attacks (+4 Toughness and +4 bonus to opposed rolls). In addition, any electrical damage that fails to inflict at least a Shaken result on the elemental will cause it to recover from Shaken status if it was already Shaken. Chain Lightning: With a successful Shooting roll, the lightning spirit can launch a ranged attack equivalent to the Chain Lightning spell.[/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Lightning Wisp (Novice Rank lightning elemental)] Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d4, Spirit d8, Strength d4, Vigor d4 Pace: 10, Parry: 6(+2), Toughness: 4 Skills: Fighting d8 Special Abilities Elemental: Having no discernible body parts, the lightning wisp normally suffers no additional damage from called shots. It is also immune to fear, intimidation, disease and poison. Assault and Battery: The lightning wisp can batter itself against enemies to shock them. Treat this as a natural weapon inflicting Str+d4 damage. Anything that strikes the wisp with an unarmed attack, makes a successful grapple attempt, or otherwise touches it with an unprotected body part also automatically takes damage as if struck by this attack. Hover: The lightning wisp levitates several feet above surfaces and is therefore unaffected by most terrain. It can also hover across any gap that it can cover in a single turn's movement. Capacitance: The lightning wisp is animated by electrical energy. A very powerful shock can short it out, but lesser currents only energise it. It effectively has Improved Arcane Resistance against electrical attacks (+4 Toughness and +4 bonus to opposed rolls). In addition, any electrical damage that fails to inflict at least a Shaken result on the elemental will cause it to recover from Shaken status if it was already Shaken. Small (Size -2): The lightning wisp is a pulsating orb that grows no more than one foot in diameter. All attacks against it suffer a -2 penalty, giving it an effective Parry of 8 against melee attacks and meaning that missile attacks must roll a 6 or better to hit at short range. [/spoileralt] [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Charge (Smite, modified with increased range and PP cost)] Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 per target Range: Smarts Duration: 3 (1 PP/round maintenance after duration expires) Trappings: Charges a weapon with electricity Increases the target weapon's damage by +2, or +4 with a raise. May affect up to five targets. [/spoileralt] [/spoileralt] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 We should probably do advances, huh. Jered continues down the path of being a freak of nature. Jered Human Insolent Hunter XP: 51 Wounds: 0 Fatigue: 0 Agility: d10 Smarts: d8 Spirit: d8 Strength: d6 Vigor: d6 Shooting: d10 Stealth: d10 Survival: d8 Tracking: d8 Healing: d8 Notice: d6 Swimming: d6 Climbing: d4 Fighting: d4 Parry: 4 Toughness: 8 (5 base, 2 natural armour, 1 leather armour) Charisma: -2 (+0 vs humans) Pace: 5 Edges: Woodsman Alertness Marksman Double Shot Trademark Weapon (Braidvine Bow) Elan Untouchable (parasite edge) Unbreakable (parasite edge) Hindrances: Curious Illiterate Outsider Parasite Gear: Dagger Braidvine Bow Leather armour Quiver Barbed arrows (a dozen-ish) 20 yards of rope 3 silver coins (?) Braidvine Bow: This bow -- stave and string -- is made from living braidvine, a hardy vine that grows in woven "cables". It functions as a regular bow (page 54) and is a minor artifact with two powers (arcane 1d8e, 10 PP). Entangle The wielder can pull a cordon off the bowstave and fire it at a target or group of targets within 12"/24"/48", rolling arcane versus Agility with a penalty of 0/-2/-4. On a success, the target is wrapped up in braidvine cables. It takes a -2 penalty to Pace and skills linked to Agility and Strength. On a raise, the target is completely bound and rooted to the ground. It cannot move or use skills linked to Agility or Strength. Each following round, a target may make a Strength or Agility roll to break free. Other characters may attempt to free a target by making a Strength roll at -2. This power entangles a single target for 2 PP. Instead of affecting a single target, the cordon may be fired at the ground and affect everyone in a Medium Burst for 4 PP. (This is the Entangle power, page 113). Vine Bridge The wielder can pull a cordon off the bowstave and fire it to create, on a successful arcane roll, a network of vines over a given area. The network extends 12"/24"/48" when taking a penalty of 0/-2/-4 to the roll. This can create a makeshift ladder on a cliff face, or a narrow bridge rooted on both edges of a chasm. The vines can support one armoured humanoid at a time, moving at a Pace of half their Strength die. Using this power cost 3 PP. Untouchable: Simply by willing it, you may teleport to any location currently visible to you. Make a Vigor roll when you do this: if you fail, you still teleport but gain a Fatigue level in the process, which recovers with at least 6 hours of sleep. Unbreakable: Your flesh begins to take on a stone-like consistency, protecting you from harm but hindering your movements. You gain 2 points of Armour, but your Pace is reduced by 1. Backstory/Personality: A lanky human barely out of his teens, Jered is a hunter who spends his time wandering the uncivilized patches of Eressos searching for game. His visits to Port Jynt and the island's other villages for trade are brief. The townsfolk view him with disdain and suspicion. He's not only a human, but a boorish, uncivilized one at that. For his part, Jered has little regard for the niceties of society, and is more than happy to trade the narrow streets for the wide open sky. Those willing to put up with him find him frank and carefree, albeit rash. But his insatiable wanderlust means he's never among company for long. It would have to take some momentous event for that to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 oh yeah those things. i'll just bump boating and history. ፨ Audrey Martel Race: Goblin Occupation: Hedge Witch, Sheriff, Former Pirate Alignment: Bitter Rank: Veteran XP: 45 Attributes Agility: d4 Smarts: d12 Spirit: d8 Strength: d4 Vigor: d8 Derived Statistics Charisma: -4 Pace: 4 Parry: 3 Toughness: 6 Power Points: 15 Skills Boating: d6 Climbing: d4 Intimidation: d6 Knowledge(Arcana): d4 Knowledge(Alchemy): d4 Knowledge(History): d6 Notice: d6 Riding: d4 Spellcasting (Smarts): d12 Streetwise: d6 Swimming: d4 Taunt: d6 Hindrances One Leg (Major): With a prosthetic, One Leg acts exactly like the Lame Hindrance, reducing Pace by 2 and running rolls are now a d4. Without a prosthetic, the character’s Pace is 2 and she can never run. She also suffers –2 to Traits that require mobility, such as Climbing and Fighting. A character with one leg also suffers a –2 penalty to her Swimming skill (and Pace). Mean (Minor): This woman is ill-tempered and disagreeable. No one really likes her, and she has trouble doing anything kind for anyone else. She must be paid for her troubles and doesn’t even accept awards graciously. Your character suffers –2 to her Charisma. Ugly (Minor): Unfortunately, this individual hit more than a few ugly sticks on her way down the tree of life. Her Charisma is lowered by 2, and she is generally shunned by members of the opposite sex. Edges Resilient: +2 bonus to Vigor rolls to endure environmental hazards such as severe heat, cold, exhaustion, hunger, thirst, natural poisons and diseases. Keen Nose +2 bonus to Notice, Tracking or Survival checks where a sense of smell could help. Arcane Background (Smarts): This is the Edge your character must purchase to have any sort of magical, psionic, or other supernatural ability. See Chapter Five for a complete description of Arcane Backgrounds. Strong Willed: Characters with strong willpower use their voice, steely stares, or quick wits to unnerve their opponents. Strong Willed adds +2 to a character’s Intimidation and Taunt rolls, as well as her Spirit and Smarts rolls when resisting Test of Wills attacks. New Power x1: An arcane character may learn a new power by choosing this Edge (which may be taken multiple times). She may choose from any powers normally available to her particular Arcane Background. Power Points x1: Wizards, weird scientists, and other arcane types always want more power. This Edge grants them an additional 5 Power Points. Power Points may be selected more than once, but only once per Rank. Hard to Kill: This adventurer has more lives than a truckload of cats. When forced to make Vigor rolls due to Incapacitation, she may ignore her wound modifiers. This only applies to Vigor rolls called for to resist Incapacitation or death. She still suffers from wound modifiers for other Trait rolls normally. Powers: Mind Reading Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts Duration: 1 Trappings: Mental invasion. Audrey forcefully enters another person's mind, looking for something. This is an opposed roll versus the target’s Smarts. A success allows her to gain one truthful answer from the subject. The target is aware of the mental intrusion unless Audrey gets a raise. The GM may apply modifiers based on the subject’s mental Hindrances or current state of mind. Burrow Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: 3 (2/round) Trappings: Rapid tunnelling. Audrey stomps her foot and shatters the earth, rapidly tunnelling to wherever she wants. She can remain underground or burrow to anywhere with a Pace equal to the power’s Range. When she emerges, it is in an explosion of dust and debris that gives a -4 penalty to trait rolls in a Small Burst Template centered on her for one turn, unless the target passes an Agility roll at -2. Additional Targets: The power may affect an additional target for every additional Power Point spent, up to a maximum of five targets. Concussion Rank: Novice Power Points: 2 Range: 10/20/40 Duration: Instant Trappings: Telekinetic, sonic. Audrey snaps her fingers, and a sudden explosion of invisible (but very loud) force occurs around her target's body. The damage of the spell is 3d6, and it applies a level of Bumps and Bruises. Additional Damage: The caster may instead create a single 4d6 explosion for 3 Power Points. The more focused blast does not apply Bumps and Bruises. Havoc Rank: Seasoned Power Points: 3 Range: Smarts x 2 Duration: Instant Trappings: Telekinetic. Audrey waves her arm, and invisible hands drag and throw people in random directions. With a success, she places a Medium Burst Template anywhere within range. Any character touched by the template must make a Strength roll (at –2 if the caster gets a raise). Any target that fails is knocked 2d6” in a random direction (roll a d12 and read the result as a clock facing) and becomes prone. If the target strikes an inanimate object, they are Shaken as well. Targets with cover may subtract the cover modifier from the total distance moved (to a minimum of 0), and flying targets suffer an additional –2 to their Strength roll. Additionally, roll a d6 to see if the flyer is moved toward the ground (1–2), stays level (3–4), or is moved away from the ground (5–6). Additional Effects: For double the Power Points, Havoc affects a Large Burst Template. Gear $95 Peg Leg (Reduces One Leg penalties) Cane (Parry +1, Str+d4) Knife (Str+d4) Horse Saddle Manacles Lantern 20' Rope Backstory Audrey was born in Dilegad, to a carpenter and a boatmaker, and had a decent upbringing. With two working professionals, her family was able to afford a small bit of education for their children, which Audrey in particular excelled at. Not that Audrey ever took much interest in learning, preferring to hang around the docks and with the shady alchemist's kids. When she became an adult, maybe unsurprisingly, she decided that honest work was for fools and joined a privateer ship as their mage's apprentice, managing to impress the older witch with her intellect and the few bits of alchemy she'd picked up. She and her mistress sailed with various pirate or privateer crews for a long while, and Audrey eventually became a formidable witch in her own right. However, the seas of Mote are always dangerous, and it's only a matter of time before any sailor has to face a horrible ship-eating monster. In the middle of the open ocean, a colossal shrimp attacked their vessel, and was driven off only after a desperate battle. Audrey survived, at least, though with one fewer leg and a lot more scars and burns. Her mistress had covered the shrimp in a grease fire, which became a lot less helpful when it got Audrey in its burning jaws. Her left leg had to be amputated at the knee, and most of her body, including her face, is covered in burns and scars from the monster's teeth and poisonous feelers. Better-off than most of the crew, maybe, including her mistress and the captain, but more than bad enough for Audrey to swear off piracy forever. She returned to Laessos and made a living as a wandering witch for a while, until her fearsome reputation got her a job as a sheriff in Wireld, where her hideous disfigurement is both an occasional asset and a perfect representation of her cruelty in her exercise of power. Her reputation for petty tyranny might have something to do with why Eshi is sending her away with the party as a representative of Wireld. Audrey is almost forty, and is a relatively tall, thick, tough-looking goblin woman. She has many serious scars over all parts of her body, including withered skin from the giant shrimp's poison and burns around her left leg, arm, and side of her face. Her left eye is permanently bloodshot, she's missing a chunk of her nose, and her mouth is permanently twisted and scowling. A portion of her greying black hair no longer grows, due to her burns, and the rest is wild and frizzy, held back by a simple headscarf. She wears heavy black clothing and thick, well-worn robes open at the front. To compensate for her missing leg, she wears a simple peg-leg and uses a cane.

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 "Adventuring is easier than I expected. It only looks hard because people fail to approach it intelligently."

Since the appearance of the bloodstained sky she’s devoted herself to researching Ammat-Xan. After learning of the events surrounding Iskania’s fall from power, she’s decided that the threat of Ammat-Xan requires a more urgent response. At least, that’s what she tells people. Unbeknownst to the party, she is actually analyst for Wireld’s intelligence service, specializing in Eressian affairs. Eshi has ordered her to join the party to observe Port Jynt’s most dangerous and unpredictable agents, and to steer their efforts to Wireld’s benefit.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Would posting the raw logs be a possibility?

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 thanks very much for this, i'll go ahead and do that. check your pms i went ahead and sent all of the last four logs because it occurred to me that some might have things like combat in them with different formatting that might need special attention also i mean if you think you can make them look better than what i've been doing without doing extra work then go ahead, i basically did the bare minimum to make them readable because manually fixing every line in a wysiwyg html editor is kind of a pain and the html is too complicated for me to feel safe about poking around in it directly (it's got fun things like multiple tables nested inside each other) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This causes +4 bonus electrical damage (+2AP versus metallic clothing or armour) A revolver, a long-lost artifact from ancient times. Giken Nomang has been faithfully restored and modified by the mechanic Bekora Tiquo of Eressos. All components of the six-shot weapon have been reblued and the grip has been replaced by wood carved from a branch of a Halitarn Noble Tree. Fine copper wires are inlaid elaborately throughout the device, winding around the barrel, throughout the receiver, and into the wood of the grip. Charged with the spirit of electricity, the gun tingles the hand of anyone touching it. This can be uncomfortable for people not experienced with electrical energy or magic in general. To someone not familiar with Giken Nomang, it operates just as a standard revolver. Only in the hands of an expert does it unleash its true power: As the shot is fired, the spirit within the revolver charges the bullet passing through the barrel with electrical force, and the result is spectacular. The copper tendrils covering the weapon flash a brilliant white-blue as the shot is fired. Its target will be struck simultaneously by lead and lightning, with arcing electricity linking the bullet back to the revolver's spirit. This weapon is not known for its subtlety.

If the target attacks unarmed, add Str+2d6 (Str+2d8 with raise) damage (2 AP). Target can also touch (+2 Fighting) to do 2d6/2d8 damage (2 AP). Grappled opponents take field damage every attacker's round. If target becomes very wet (as in heavy rain or having a bucket thrown on them) field will short out, disappear, and deal 2d6 (2d8 with raise) damage (2 AP) to target. [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Summon Elemental (Summon Ally)] Rank: Novice Power Points: 3+ Range: Smarts Duration: 3 (1 PP/round maintenance after duration expires) Trappings: Creates an elemental servant under the control of the caster. [spoileralt=Lightning Spirit (Seasoned-rank lightning elemental)] Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d4, Spirit d8, Strength d6, Vigor d6 Pace: 8, Parry: 7, Toughness: 5 Skills: Fighting d8, Shooting d6 Special Abilities Elemental: Having no discernible body parts, the lightning spirit normally suffers no additional damage from called shots. It is also immune to fear, intimidation, disease and poison. Assault and Battery: The lightning spirit can batter itself against enemies to shock them. Treat this as a natural weapon inflicting Str+d4 damage with 1 point of armour piercing. Anything that strikes the spirit with an unarmed attack, makes a successful grapple attempt, or otherwise touches it with an unprotected body part also automatically takes damage as if struck by this attack. Capacitance: The lightning spirit is animated by electrical energy. A very powerful shock can short it out, but lesser currents only energise it. It effectively has Improved Arcane Resistance against electrical attacks (+4 Toughness and +4 bonus to opposed rolls). In addition, any electrical damage that fails to inflict at least a Shaken result on the elemental will cause it to recover from Shaken status if it was already Shaken. Chain Lightning: With a successful Shooting roll, the lightning spirit can launch a ranged attack equivalent to the Chain Lightning spell.[/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Lightning Wisp (Novice Rank lightning elemental)] Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d4, Spirit d8, Strength d4, Vigor d4 Pace: 10, Parry: 6(+2), Toughness: 4 Skills: Fighting d8 Special Abilities Elemental: Having no discernible body parts, the lightning wisp normally suffers no additional damage from called shots. It is also immune to fear, intimidation, disease and poison. Assault and Battery: The lightning wisp can batter itself against enemies to shock them. Treat this as a natural weapon inflicting Str+d4 damage. Anything that strikes the wisp with an unarmed attack, makes a successful grapple attempt, or otherwise touches it with an unprotected body part also automatically takes damage as if struck by this attack. Hover: The lightning wisp levitates several feet above surfaces and is therefore unaffected by most terrain. It can also hover across any gap that it can cover in a single turn's movement. Capacitance: The lightning wisp is animated by electrical energy. A very powerful shock can short it out, but lesser currents only energise it. It effectively has Improved Arcane Resistance against electrical attacks (+4 Toughness and +4 bonus to opposed rolls). In addition, any electrical damage that fails to inflict at least a Shaken result on the elemental will cause it to recover from Shaken status if it was already Shaken. Small (Size -2): The lightning wisp is a pulsating orb that grows no more than one foot in diameter. All attacks against it suffer a -2 penalty, giving it an effective Parry of 8 against melee attacks and meaning that missile attacks must roll a 6 or better to hit at short range. [/spoileralt] [/spoileralt] [spoileralt=Charge (Smite, modified with increased range and PP cost)] Rank: Novice Power Points: 3 per target Range: Smarts Duration: 3 (1 PP/round maintenance after duration expires) Trappings: Charges a weapon with electricity Increases the target weapon's damage by +2, or +4 with a raise.
