Hello and welcome!
This game will likely get underway end of March 2017. I am not the quickest of GM's, so expect a duration of approximately 8 weeks.
Before we start, can you all fill in the following information:
1. Player/Forum Name
2. Character's Name
3. Class and Level
4. PFS# (and dash)
5. Faction
6. Day job Roll (if any)
and fill your initiative and perception modifiers on the second slide of the Google presentation that I will use to share handouts, maps etcetera.
Thanks!
Also the gameplay thread is open for dotting.
who I play depends on whether we are going high or low, so I need a little input before I select.
Seeing as we are just 4 right now we should cover all our bases.
I have a lvl 5 sorceress, a lvl 6 Arcanist, a lvl 7 swashbuckler and a lvl 9 gunslinger freed up and in range.
by the end of march, I should have a lvl 8 or 9 oracle I could play, or a lvl 6 or 7 wizard/investigator.
I thought to start this thread so we have the placeholder.
As for starting: let me know when you are ready, I might start earlier than end of March at a slow pace.

Please fill your init and perception here
looks like we are going high tier, and my high tier character is not available... I can play a 6th investigaor/wizard, out of tier.. or just bow out... which would you suggest? I don't want to be a burden to the party...
JafO: any idea when your high tier character would be available?
hopefully end of march or so, but I can't guarantee it and I'd hate to hold up the game.
We can also rectruit two more to get a full party of 6. I suppose your lvl 6 is no frontliner, so playing out of tier with a full party should probably be fine.
Others: any opinion?
that works for me...
Lore and Varian are both in other games right now... can't double up like that. I thought I'd have one free by the time this started, but that is not the case... best I can do is a total of 6 lvls... might be best for me to bow out ... do you have enough people to go on without me?
I could play Ezren for you...
I don't mind... probably more survivable than my 6th lvl... barely but more and it's not like Ezren will be on the front line.
yes... out of tier credit... or I can apply it to my 8th lvl oracle.
ok.. just printed out 7th lvl ezren... i will build an alias for him.
ok... here it is...
1. Player/Forum Name: JAF0
2. Character's Name: Wizard of the Coast (to be applied to this character, actually playing Ezren, pregen wizard)
3. Class and Level: WotC is 6th lvl investigator 1/wizard 5 (ezrend is wizard 7)
4. PFS# (and dash) 52335-9
5. Faction n/a for WotC, but I assume GL for pregen
6. Day job Roll (if any) n/a
no template found... i just cut and paste from the pdf and did a little formatting... all manually done.
Great work!
That game that Varian is in is indeed not the quickest ;-)

That's painful... I wish we could go on other people's profile and click a 'fwd' or 'ghost edit' button to get the formatting... all the pregens have been done already by 'someone', it's too bad Paizo hasn't or cannot enable us to just click a 'add pregen alias' button..
All: I am playing up the sexual innuendo that is part of the culture in Kaer Maga. If you are uncomfortable with that: shoot me a PM and I will tone it down.
I am at a con this weekend, It is unlikely that I am able to post.
Just a heads up. I will be leaving Thursday morning for a 4-day retreat at the beach that lasts til Sunday afternoon, then I have a Sunday night concert to attend. I will take my computer with me, but I may not be able to post much til after I get home. Please feel free to bot me if I delay the game at all.
On Monday, my dog goes into surgery and when he returns home on Tuesday, I will be on a full-time home care regimen with him. He needs to be walked with a belly band whenever he needs to relieve himself or get up to get a drink or eat, so it will be a busy time. (He's an almost 100 lb st. bernard puppy, so he can't be carried for these things).
I'll be able to post regularly again starting Monday, but perhaps not as frequently as usual for a while.... Anyway, sorry in advance for any lack of posting on my part. I will do the best I can.
Thanks for letting us know, hope your dog will be ok.
Theodric, I was looking at your build because I did not understand the +22 to hit / +15 to damage for your AoO and I think you have made some mistakes:
This small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a bow or crossbow without penalty while carrying it. You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon (whether you are using an off-hand weapon or using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon), but you take a –1 penalty on attack rolls while doing so.
- When wielding the falcata two-handed you should subtract -1 from to hit because you are wielding a buckler.
Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +1 dodge bonus to your Armor Class. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every +4 thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the dodge bonus increases by +1. You can only choose to use this feat when you declare that you are making an attack or a full-attack action with a melee weapon. The effects of this feat last until your next turn.
- You should also apply the -3 on to-hit from combat expertise to your AoOs
At 5th level, a buckler duelist gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls when wielding a falcata and buckler that applies to attacks made by either hand. These bonuses increase by +1 for every four levels beyond 5th. With a full-attack action, a buckler duelist may alternate between using his falcata or his buckler for each attack. This does not grant additional attacks or incur penalties as two-weapon fighting does.
- Finally it is my opinion that strong swing does not apply to two-handed attacks with the falcata. I agree this is a bit of a grey area.
It might be that I missed something, so please tell me if I did. I look forward to your reaction. I have included the quotes so it is clear what the actual text is and we do not need to look up the rules. I have highlighted the bits that are most relevant for this discussion.

Oops, forgot that -1 for buckler! you're right. I will try to fix it in the long run as I heard there might be a feat to remove that -1 now... (not sure if it's worth it but I'll look for that feat; I might just end up eating that -1 though, as I don't two-hand style very often)
Strong Swing is pretty much an add-on on damage as I see it; replaces Weapon Training 1. But if you think that fighter is overpowered (LOL) I will oblige and fight one-handed only! :) :) :)
Thanks, we all make mistakes!

Yes, fighters are The Cheese! ;-)
I don't mind the 2 additional damage, but remember that you also loose the AC bonus until the end of your turn.
Effectively you get a weak form of power attack when two-handing: -1 to hit and -2 to AC for +2 damage.
For the record: I do not agree that strong swing applies to two-handed fighting, but I think it is a minor thing and not worth further discussion. In other words: your choice and I really won't take it against you if you wield the falcata two-handed and apply the +2 damage from strong swing.
I will probably post a bit less in the coming days since I have a couple of very busy days ahead of me. Our eldest son did not get into the high school he wanted to join. Now we have to choose again from the schools that are left. Needless to say his second and third choices are also not available anymore, so we have our work cut out for us.
In our city you apply for 1 school. If there are more applicants than places there is a lottery. After the lottery you can apply again for the schools that still have places available (and then also indicate 2nd to 4th choices). The schools will take care that everybody is placed in the second round. Problem is that the weakest schools tend to be left...
Yep: the Netherlands
