Pathfinder 1e Party for The Hellfire Compact (Closed)

<Snipped quote by Vertigo>

Juuust a warning about the demon spawn. Cheliax is a city that primarily has an allegiance with Hell, and heavily promotes it. There are lesser devils like imps all over the place. Demons and devils are not really on good terms.

You're probably not going to get murdered, as law is an absolute. But the interactions would be interesting. Bright side is... Cat sized house drakes are common too, and have turf wars with the imps

@Tangletail

Ooh, that is good to know, actually. I might go with the dhampir, after all, just to avoid bringing the party conflict from the very start. Plus, can always play tieflings in 5E - but not dhampirs.

Also, I have a few stupid questions.

1) Do we get any starting equipment with our class like in 5E, or do we buy everything with our starting gold?
2) When (if ever) do we get ASIs?

No worries, I assumed as much!

The classic 1, 2, 3, 4, me blunder has happened to all of us. :P

Gonna bring back the Kenku Tengu rogue?

@Tangletail

Haha, not this time! He did actually find a home elsewhere though - he's an Arcane Trickster 3/Chronurgy Wizard 2 in a weekly text-based campaign now.

I was eyeing the kitsune race instead, among others.

... So I just learnt "Antipaladins" are a thing and they seem pretty cool. So I think I'll either go with a Demon-spawn Tiefling Antipaladin, or a Moroi-born Dhampir one.

@Vertigo
How much charisma do you think you'll give your character?

@rush99999

I'm still mulling over a few different ideas, but I do think that I'll have charisma, no matter which of them I go with.

I see I wasn't tagged - I assume I'm still welcome though, seeing as my character's header is still in the first post in IC?

About Yoh, I'm usually not a fan of DMPCs since it's so easy to even accidentally use DM knowledge with them. But I also feel it's a bit unfair if you don't get to use him at all, since you didn't originally sign up for GM duty. The whole making him a villain thing sounded interesting, but I'm not sure if that'd be interesting for you? Anyway, I won't make a fuss if he stays as a DMPC either.

What do others think?

Ah, I thought we were limited to the base classes Morgrym76 listed earlier? If not, I might look around some more too.

I think I'm going with a Rogue. Might be easier to stick with a non-caster class for my first run. But-- would I be allowed to use the "fixed" unchained version?

I did want to ask, are we only allowed the core races or would a tiefling be allowed for example? Not saying I'm going with one, just wanna check my options.

I'm interested as well. Never tried Pathfinder, but definitely eager to learn.

It worked. All but one of the stirges succumbed to Leanna's music and fell from the air, fast asleep. It was unfortunate that she hadn't managed to get them all, but she believed the others could slay the remaining one easily enough. She managed a pained smile, slowly lowering her lute. Its weight was starting to hurt.

That was, until someone called out to her. Leanna couldn't catch the meaning of his words, but she felt their impact quick and true. A wave of relief washed over her, allowing her to stand up properly and take another look at the battlefield. There, she saw who'd helped her; the very man she'd played a tune to earlier. The remaining stirge was still attached to his flesh, and he seemed unable to pry it off. A moment later, he was down. The stirge, having had its fill, detached from his unconscious body.

If only she had the energy to cast spells still, she could've done something to help. As things were, all she could do was hope the others tended to the unconscious man and killed the stirge before it hurt anyone else. As for her, she had but a rapier to use - and no skill with it to speak of. She had not found herself in many battles before. Her spells reflected that; sleep, healing, and-- ah, yes. She did have that, didn't she?

Leanna had done what she could to aid in the effort against the stirges. Perhaps it was time she redirected her attention to the troll instead. They'd been told to use fire to deal with it, yet no one seemed capable of producing any. If that was the case...

Her gaze darted around the chaotic tavern, desperate for a familiar flicker. Luckily enough, she did not need to search for long; oil lamps sat idly atop many a table to her left, some within a comfortable reach. A hand's reach, some might say - though not her own.

Leanna emerged from her hiding spot once more. With a flourish of her hand, another hand wiggled into existence above the closest table. With it, Leanna reached for the oil lamp, seizing it in a phantom grasp. Even after so many times of doing it, holding something yet not feeling it upon your skin was... strange, yet she refused to be distracted.

With practiced aim, she moved the hand as close to the troll as she could, flinging the lamp towards its head.
