Warjacks and Trolls July 25, 2010 at 1:57 pm

A collection of my latest mini projects.  A couple warjacks and a troll.  The trollup is just there for scale.  The blue warjack is my wife’s eidolon for her summoner character.  I imagine Warmachine purists will cringe seeing how I used non-standard colors…  I have my own ideas of colors though.

Alchemists Guide: Mr. Hyde July 15, 2010 at 1:37 am

The dark destructive lunatic in the back of all our minds, these alchemists use their science to try and become powerfully destructive creatures.  Though they lack the overall damaging potential of a fighter or barbarian they are devastating when they have their mutagens in effect and have a round or two to self buff.

Alchemists Guide: Dr. Strangelob at 1:22 am

How I learned to lob the bomb

Dr. Strangelob’s primary focus is ranged bombing.  You are capable of doing more elemental damage in a game session than any other character. There is no save and no SR to block the primary damage you do and your secondary damage is respectable.

Alchemist’s Guide: Introduction July 13, 2010 at 2:02 pm

The alchemist is a strange creature, choice of discoveries and which mutagen you use can greatly alter what role you take in the party.  The obvious niche alchemists fit into is the proverbial glass canon, primarily just blasting with damage but with lots of interesting debuffing options.  A little less obviously the alchemist can also serve as a backup melee slugger for the party by using mutagens and extracts to self buff himself into true Jekyll and Hyde a monster. This guide separates the two into two separate ‘builds’ and gives recommendations for feats and discoveries for each.

This guide is styled similarly to Treantmonk’s guides (though I am less humorous).  It’s a bit lengthy and much of it should be treated as a reference work rather than an article you read all the way through.  Items that are omitted are not recommended.

There are 4 parts to this guide, the other three are:
Alchemists Extracts – All about the extracts alchemists drink to get their power.
Dr. Strangelob – How I learned to Lob The Bomb.
Mr. Hyde – Strangelob’s (more?) demented alter ego.

Welcome to Magnimar July 4, 2010 at 10:56 pm

Scarab was pensive. The flavor of the undead ghouls still lingered in his mouth and his nostrils still burned from the acrid stench of the burning manor house. The thrill of the chase and the pleasures of a fresh kill just aren’t the same when the victims don’t run and you don’t get to feel the hot gushing blood pumping from a gaping wound.

Hopefully this latest journey his lifebonded human was going on would be more fruitful.

Scarab could smell the blood all over the sawmill. It’s been days since he’s gotten a fresh kill and when the door was pushed open he was the first through the breach. In no time Scarab was tossing the cultist around like a ragdoll in his mouth. More, I want more blood! Looking around he saw Zeke thrashing a cultist and Nephira had summoned another blasted cat who was stealing his kill. In moments it was over… yet the bloodlust was still thick in Scarab’s veins and when more cultists burst through the door he lept at them with glee.

The slaughter of more cultists was quick and brief chase leads to the upper floor of the sawmill. Ahh, this is why I agreed to this life bond with the human.
