That's going to be an option for you (and Rurail and Daeth, too.)

[Rolepgeek]

I already know my post-act path and it involves becoming the musical Buddha.

...well, the core tenets of the religion will be similar! Ish. >.>

[Xanmyral]

Scroll sounds good to me then, although I'll miss the pumping up and meleein' better though. But it'll be worth it, I bet.

[Remuthra]

I shall go Indiana Jonesing.

[Madman198237]

Hmmm....I'll probably just train.
How lame, right? But I suppose I'll see what my options are.

[Ross Vernal]

I'm going to look at profiles and offer options based on that. Some will be exactly what your character would be inclined to do, others are the opposite, so on.

Also, Beta post up.

[Remuthra]

I thought I already indicated assent to Blue's offer. The "don't try anything" bit was intended to be akin to someone saying "make it quick" or the like.

[Ross Vernal]

Oh, I read it as "Don't you touch me with your heathen magic" xD

[Ross Vernal]

Hmmm....I'll probably just train.
How lame, right? But I suppose I'll see what my options are.

Quick looking over the profile... hm. With the hobby for training and the Kinetic level, I'd have options like:

-Study With Monks: levels in B-class "Psychic Fist", combination of Metabolic/Kinetic Psionics and Unarmed Combat
-Join the Infinite Legions: levels in religious-aligned Soldier
-Study The Mind: levels in Telepath and/or Interrogator

I am (generally) trying to go with a "Something that is thematically appropriate, something that is a thematic opposite of the character but works in their favor, and/or something that would augment or grant specific abilities." There may be some overlap, and I am just trying as opposed to making it the rule.

Using Myrln as an example?

Thematically appropriate and specific abilities would be Winter Knight or Torturer, while thematic opposite would be Fire Mage.

Morgrod?

Augmenting would be taking levels in Ghoul Paragon. Thematic would be Blood Priest. Opposite would be Plant Mage.

I still need to think about it.

[Remuthra]

Oh, I read it as "Don't you touch me with your heathen magic" xD

No, that would look like this:

"Vile heathen scum! Touch me not with your foul trickery!"

[Ross Vernal]

Looking at Daeth, I can see a few paths. I would provisionally go with:

Musical Studies - Gain levels in Seer(Listener)
Wandering Bard - Levels in Bard and/or Gambler
Sailor - Levels in Sailor / Sea Singer (B-class)

[Rolepgeek]

Dunno where Sailor came from, but alright.

I would have thought maybe Archeologist or Forbidden Loremaster or something. Read the bit about opposite of theme.

How many levels are we talking about here? Cuz' if it's more than like one or two I'll have to be very careful about which path I choose.

Kinda interested in which one is for which. I'm guessing Musical Studies is thematic, Wandering Bard is augmenting, and Sailor is opposite thematic?

Also, I can't remember; can Daethwin speak Arnum Cultspeak? I should probably give him a specific Polyglot feat.

[Ross Vernal]

Following Arnum, so you probably know some.

And yes, you got that exactly.

Sailor/Seasinger because I figured that since he does worship a god of travel, had at least one near death experience, magical potential, and is aware of the potential to learn new music, a potential pathway would be to go out and toughen up in a practical way by signing up as a ship-mage.

Music studies for Seer is both thematic and because you have mentioned being interested in the path.

The wandering is augmenting. Develop and specialize what you have.


As far as levels, it kinda depends. Between two and five, but probably NOT five unless you get a Lucky roll and have levels related to what you level. Safe average is 3, or so.  In case of multiple levels, the total is the same.

So it's entirely possible that Daeth would be an Average Sailor but a Gifted Seasinger, with that path. That effectively counts as Bard 5 / Sailor 3 / Adventurer 1, which would lead to the paths for Act 2. (No, I don't have plans that far ahead, I don't know what your characters would be like in the future.

[Ross Vernal]

Lionan possible paths.

Augmented path would be something like "Travelling Circus." Works for parkour, stealing from randoms, etc.

Opposite path would possibly be Witch. Shaman is more "opposite" but it doesn't fit the character.

Thematic, hm. Ranger? Assassin? Not sure what fits with Parkour Acrobat Thief that's a natural extension of skills.

Obviously, the Batman Prestige class.

Sailor does actually sound interesting and would take Daethwin in a different, possibly more fun direction than I have going for him right now(which involves becoming the head of a new religion based around blah-dy-blah you know already)
