care to explain those to me, Cyn? I'm DLing Iron Kingdoms/War Machine now so I guess I can read for myself in a bit, but if you can condense it nicely I'll take that in the meantime.

Fantasy World with magic steampunk tech. The RPG uses a varient of D&D.

An arcane mechanik is magic user who specializes in creating mechanika, which is magic-tech. A warcaster is a magic user who has a knack for managing war jacks, which are steam powered bipedal warmachines. Warcasters wear snazzy mechanikal armour which uses an arcane turbine to draw additional power for cool special abilities from a small steam engine.

any chance of you running a campaign based on Iron Kingdoms?

Yes. If I get enough interest. Exiles seems pretty dead.

Hey, someone's got to post besides me in Exiles, dammit! And I am trying my best!

No, they're associated with the Church of Morrow. The hunt Infernalists, Necromancers, and other dark magicians. They have a few cleric evil being smacking spells added to the their spell list (with the right feats) and a cool mini with the mage packing a quad barreled pistol.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, paladin.

I don't know a whole lot about Iron Kingdoms, though, so methinks I'll check up on it before I get too satisfied here.

Religion is quite important in the setting. Morrow is the most popular human god and quite benevolent. He and his sister are both ascended humans, although he delayed his ascension to stay behind and help his people for a while. He has about a dozen Ascendants (think saints with demigod like power)one of them, Ascendant Katrena, is the patron of knights and paladins. Ascendant Markus, patron of soldiers and town guards, is also quite the paladin magnet. A humble town guard, he bought time for relief forces to arrive to save his town by repeatedly engaging barbarian champions in single combat. On the ninth day, he died of his wounds but his town was saved.

I havent been able to get ahold of the Iron Kingdoms source books yet, but I have a mean Khador Warmachine army. So I am very interested in this one.

That is a Paladin's Paladin.

Yeah. No suprise that he ascended upon death. Ascendant Katrena was also martyred, but she was a paladin super hero at the time. It's not quite as impressive.

That? That right there? That is badass. There are other words for it in the English vocabulary, but none that sum it up quite so well in two syllables, I think.

Anyone can Hold The Line when they've got superpowers out of their ass.

A true hero does it when he's got a stick. And it's not even a particularly sharp stick.

frigidmagi-Ranger/Rifleman (Prestige Class)

Tell me of this Rifleman Prestige Class. Also I wish I could afford to get Iron Kingdom books, very often have I drooled from afar.

The IK has a non magic using Ranger class with many bonus feats and evasion. The Rifleman is all about shooting people from long range with shots that automatically threaten criticals and big critical multipliers.

I approve of this, while finding it ironic that despite my handle I get no magic.

I'm gonna assume it's because I'm scary enough without it.

LadyTevar · Post by **LadyTevar** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:19 am

So what's a GunMage?

You are indeed. There's also the issue that the Khadarans are the ones known for ice magic and frigidmagi is not part of the Russian hordes, he holds the line against them.

Gunmages are people with sorcerous talent that develop a fascination with pistols. They do not suffer from the same kind of prejudice that sorcerers suffer from. They can cast up to sixth level spells and have a list with a good list of combat and illusion spells. They can empower rune bullets with energy from their spells for extra damage, fire ray attacks from their guns (and gain the benefits of their pistol feats), and deliver ranged touch and touch spells by rune bullets. Can wear light armour without chance of spell failure and are decent fighters. They are a base class.
