EDIT: The RPG will start within the next 24 hours from this update. Once started I'll PM all players with links as well as post links for the various threads here.

So after the discussion here I've decided to start a Pathfinder adventure path using a slightly modified version of Way of the Wicked by Fire Mountain Games.


So what do we know for now?

Adventure Path: Way of the Wicked - modified to contain a lot more sex than the original. Player guide here.
  • Players - needing 4+
    • toshiro27: Varen, Human Male fighter - piracy
    • Gromnar: Mara, Female Tiefling Cleric (fiendish vessel) - sedition
    • Dreamguide: La'croise, male Alchemist - Arson
    • Khan: Kitira, female catfolk Summoner (master summoner) - sedition
    • Cherubian: Avara, Female Aasimar Monk - high treason
    • Kaybee: Kiara Stormbringer, female Sylph Sorceress - piracy
    • RPG-girl: female inquisitor
  • Rules: Pathfinder but not using any 3rd party rules.
  • Classes available: Anyone except those that exclude evil alignment.
  • Alignment: Evil! Preferably LE or NE. No Good alignment.
  • Races: Any core or featured races. Anything else will be on GM approval - but don't expect it.

But it will only start if enough dedicated players want to join. So therefore this Interest Check.

So what do we know for now?

  • Players - needing 4-6 (the game is designed for 4 characters but I'd like to have a buffer due to the natural attrition of PbP RPs)
  • Rules: Pathfinder but not using any 3rd party rules.
  • Classes available: Anyone except those that exclude evil alignment.
  • Alignment: Evil! Preferably LE or NE
  • Races: Any core or featured races. Anything else will be on GM approval - but don't expect it.

What I would like to know for now is if anyone would like to join this. Please let me know here in the thread. Questions can also be asked here or on PM.


NOTE: As discussed in earlier thread I'm leaning towards replacing Asmodeus as the central deity in the AP. Asmodeus isn't enough concerned about sex to be interesting in this RP. I think we should - as Gromnar suggested - use a more or less original deity for this and not a Golarion specific. Any suggestions - both for name, portfolio, appearance etc. - are more than welcome. Personally I lean towards using some sort of hermaphrodite maybe by the name of Lilith or alternatively have a deity with three aspects a female, a male and a hermaphrodite.

Hey! I'd be interested in playing as a male fighter, guilty of piracy.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Concerning deities, we could say that in this world, there are only two; the good and the bad. Perhaps these two deities, Mitra and the evil one, both created life on the world, understanding the need for balance. Perhaps something happened, such as betrayal; the evil deity wasn't always evil, but became so and she lost the resulting 'war'. Yet she survives and is looking for revenge.

If Mitra is the 'Shinning Lord' and encompasses the 'good' values of life, I would assume he would be something like the following:

Mirta
Titles: The Shinning Lord
Adjective: Mirtans
Home: Heaven
Alignment: Lawful Good
Portfolio: Good, lawful living, bravery, honor, justice, charity, sun, light
Worshipers: Talingrade humans
Cleric Alignments: LG, NG, LN
Domains: Glory, Good, Law, Sun, War, Community, Nobility, Protection
Subdomains: Honor, Archon, Judgment, Aristocracy, Martyr, Defense, Purity, Light

---

Lilith (or some other name)
Titles: The Betrayer, Lust's Shadow, The Disavowed, The Fallen
Home: Unknown
Alignment: NE
Portfolio: Evil, betrayal, darkness, lust, trickery, undead
Worshipers: Few, if any, but those who embrace evil
Cleric Alignments: LE, NE, CE, N
Domains: Charm, Darkness, Death, Destruction, Evil, Trickery
Subdomains: Lust, Loss, Night, Murder, Undead, Hatred, Demon, Devil, Corruption, Deception, Greed
Favored Weapon: Whip
Symbol: Here
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

You sure discussed a lot these days :p by the way I never played pathfinder before so I'm still checking the site for classes I don't know as I would prefer playing something new, was thinking of a female catfolk oracle or summoner but still checking other options too, just letting you know I'm still around.
Also any advice, suggestion or comment is welcome too.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

If you've played D&D 3.5 (or 3rd ed) then Pathfinder is just the game D&D was supposed to be :D In my opinion all the rules make sense and match perfectly. So I'd be happy to help you and anyone else that doesn't know PF.

As for character: The catfolk is a decent race. The Summoner is a very cool class but they require that you keep track of both your character and your eidolon in play (unless you make a synthesist summoner). The Oracle is very straight forward, a sorcerer like cleric (if that makes sense).

Be sure to check out archtypes as it's a way to further customize your character.

@deity

I do like the idea of Lilith. I would however make a few changes:
As she's the only major evil deity I'd say that favored weapon should be taken from a list of three that could be: Whip, hand crossbow, falchion
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Sounds good.

Might even look at eliminating lawful/chaotic alignments all together; Mirta is just a 'Good' god, Lilith a 'bad' god, and alignments are simply Good, Evil, Neutral. That would also allow the elimination of the demon/devil like subtypes as well, but such a loss might represent a problem for spells/classes that require them.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

yeah I knew that about PF, but that was it
Hadn't seen the archetypes so far, guess I'll focus on those two classes instead of joining the deities discussion or I'll never have my character ready :p
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

I would definitely like to get in on this. I'm thinking a male alchemist, definite case of Jeckyll and Hyde syndrome.

EDIT: Or perhaps Dread Necromancer. Somebody managed to convert it to pathfinder

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?353181-Dread-Necromancer-Pathfinder-update-(WIP)
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

I do personally love the alchemist - they are loads of fun. Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde... well Ragechemist archtype comes into mind.

And while I do love the Dread Necromancer for 3.5 I would really like to just limit the character selection to Pathfinder characters. If you want to do something that goes along the path of undeath then the Agent of the grave prestige class would be a good way to go.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Ok, fair enough on the dread necromancer. Alchemist it is. As for the Jeckyll and Hyde Ning, build him up to a Master Chemist, where that's the entire concept. Lol

Edit: As for the crime committed, I would say Arson. Burning a city to the ground seems like something a psychotic alter ego would do.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Keeping track of the eidolon really seems really nice, that's the point right? so I'm going with the master summoner, synthesist looks powerful but what the point of being a summoner if you don't have a summon :p so you can add her to the list too
For the crime if thought at first Consorting with dark powers, then High treason but the bonus from Fraud really stood out so yeah she is guilty of consorting with the dark powers but finally she was caught for fraud instead (kinda like Al Capone getting imprisoned for taxes) must have been a hell of a fraud for having her chained and shackled now
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

hehe... That's some hefty fraud to give you the death penaltu :D

As for summoner, then I can only say that while synthesist seems very powerful it looses (in the long run) versus the other archtypes on the action economy. However the sythesist is a very cool class that I've personally enjoyed playing more than once. While the master summoner seems like a good archtype the loss of a respectable eidolon is a big hit. The eidolon is after all the summoner's greatest power so you have to be sure you'll be all right giving that one up.

Also for the summoner I would prefer if we used the unchained summoner. It offers more meaningful eidolons as well as a reworked spell list. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/unchained-classes/summoner-unchained
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Hmm, looking over the various guides for Alchemist, and considering our part set up right now, I may go the 'mad bomber' route rather than the 'Hyde' route for my alchemist. We need more ranged damage, plus it fits better with his arson crime.

So, I'm guessing we're doing our character stats as it says in the players guide? One 18, one 8 and the rest dice rolled, with increased skill points? Also, are we doing traits?
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

That's alright! A mad bomber you'll become.

Yes we are going with the rules from the guide. I know that many people hate rolling for stats but I do like the idea of randomness.

For rolling use http://invisiblecastle.com/ and remember either character name or BMR user name - and for campaign use WotW(BMR) and then copy the BBR code link to your post or in PM to me.

Roll for Strength, Dex, Con and Wisdom (1d10+7, 1d10+7, 1d10+7, 1d10+7=[2, 7], [6, 7], [6, 7], [7, 7])


PS: If the dice hates you then PM me and we'll find a solution.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Oh I had already distributed 25 points as an alternative, what I didn't like about the 8,18 system is that the 4resting rolls are fixed into a position I don't wanna end up with high str and low dex fox example otherwise I would consider switching class and race, also I guess I did check everything else but traits, are we using those, and how many, the regular 2?
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

No problem with using the 25 point buy if you wish. And as for traits - sorry I forgot to mention that: Yes two traits in addition to the trait of your crime.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

Have we fully decided on the deity yet? I can't complete my character without knowing, given that her class, tiefling abilities/heritage, etc. depend on it.

If we haven't I might suggest a change. One of the two ideas I personally like better, given our group composition at the moment:

1) Keep Asmodeus
Keep the Prince of Lies...most of the group is male and it would make life easier on the GM. The lawful aspect still keeps in play here. If that's the case, I'd make my tiefling a follower of the Whore Queen Ardad Lili (ie, Lilth in Pathfinder) allied with Asmodeus with her own plans. As that deity and her followers are seducers of men, makes sense in the group composition.

2) Maybe Urgathoa
Given the make up of the primary patron we have, this also makes sense...as we discussed before, as its a deity that can have LE/NE followers and has a somewhat pleasure/sex based focus without it being primary. This deity has a good deal of evil aspects that would fit with the campaign.

Just my thoughts.
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check

@Gromnar:

There have been a few suggestions both here and by PM and I do think it's easier just to keep Asmodeus as the main deity. There's plenty of wickedness and sexual innuendo from him and it'll be easier to run the adventure path. You are more than welcome to worship one of the Whore Queens.

@toshiro & Deam Guide

Those look like some pretty decent stats :) You just go on making characters.


@everyone

I'm going to open a rules, an OOC and a character sheet thread. The actual RP thread will not be made until all characters are ready.

Even though threads are opening we are still accepting players. Especially players that would want to play dedicated arcane casters (wizard, witch or sorcerer) or skill monkeys (bards, rogues, slayers, hunters, rangers and inquisitors).
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check - still looking

Are we using any rules from Pathfinder Unchained, like background skills?
 
RE: Way of the Wicked [Pathfinder] - Interest Check - still looking

We'll not be using all the unchained rules.

The players do already get two extra skill points per level (WotW player guide step 4). I do strongly suggest that some skills are used for non-adventuring skills. But I'll not enforce it.
We will however use the alternate crafting and profession rules (not that I believe that the later will see much use).
