Here is where you can ask any questions.


I imagine there will be many of those.


How are we going to go about character creation?


Is there a dice roller you suggest we use? or is there an in message board function somehow?


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

For play by post games, we use the dice roller built into the forums. We will get into how to use that when it's time. I know there's a lot all at once.

We will do character creation here in discussion. The first thing is for each of you to choose your class. We need to have all four basic classes represented.


I was trying to do the hero's handbook adventure, but only having the digital version made dice rolls difficult. There were plenty of free dice roller apps in the play store for my android phone though, so I made it work. I did roam the boards here and saw some dice rolling threads.

I can do whatever class if the rest of you have preferences.

If not I guess I'll try rolling. 1 for Cleric, 2 for Fighter, 3 for Rogue, 4 for Wizard.

1d4 ⇒ 1


I'll take wizard. Gotta get them damages.
Okay, that dice roll feature is awesome.


Where is the dice roller feature? And after looking through the classes, I kind of like the idea of playing the Rogue class unless someone has any objections?


For dice roll reference: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2k0pq&page=1?Dice-rolling-thread
For the record, I'm fine with anyone playing anything. If we have a hole in the party, I'm fine with switching over to a different class.


Thanks for the reference mccartneytm! This is a fantastic feature :)! And I'm also fine with switching classes if there's another role that needs to be filled. With five players, is there a recommended class to double up on?


I haven't officially been accepted from the original thread, but I am hopeful that I can join you guys on this as well. I am ok with playing any class from the BB - if any class is acceptable, then I would probably choose Cleric by default.

If I am too late, I won't be offended if there are already too many. Hopefully another one of these will start up seeing as thought 30,000+ people just purchased the rights to play here :)

Thanks


I would like to go for warrior. I'm still having issues downloading the guide, I will try again in a few hours.


I would like to roll either a rogue or a warrior, rogue would be my preference.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

If everyone goes with their first preference, that's a pretty balanced party. We have one of each class, and one extra of two of them. It doesn't matter which classes are doubled up, as long as we don't have three of one class!

OK, next decision is if you want to build your own character or use the pregen of that class. If you want to build your own, I need you to pick your character's name, race, and gender. The name and gender don't affect how the game works. Look in the Hero's Handbook for what race does. Post whatever you decide here. Then I will walk you through how to make a message board alias for your new character.


I will build my own using the process in the BB and whatever process works on this site. Thanks for letting me join up!

Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Yep, I'm planning on walking you through the process in the beginner box. A few times I might have you do something a little out of order from the book because it works better for the forums.


Name: Kairo
Race: Human
Gender: Male


Name: Lokhem Adalantia
Race: Elf
Gender: Male


And welcome to the party Adaram!

Is there any way to subscribe to this forum so that we can get alerts about when new posts have been made?

Male Elf Cleric: LVL1 7/7HP AC: 17; Saves: F+1, R+3, W+5; Init: +3; Perc: +5

Which God/Goddess are you thinking Adaram?

I'm leaning toward Sarenrae and focusing on healing.


Male Elf Cleric: LVL1 7/7HP AC: 17; Saves: F+1, R+3, W+5; Init: +3; Perc: +5

There are the little orange buttons at the top right, Lokhem, but I'm not too sure how they work.

I've just been checking my account->avatar->campaign and looking for new posts there.


Name: Nezeth Macehand

It won't show up in your campaign until you post at least once in the gameplay thread. If anyone has any questions about the current step in character building, let me know. Later today I'll check in carefully.

Also, it would be good if everyone prints out a copy of the Beginner Box character sheet. (Don't use the ordinary one, it's more complicated)

Thanks Taladriel! That was exactly what I was looking for.

If you are going to heal, then I will go Desna (Luck and Agile Feet sounds fun!).

So, Lucem, you are using the pregen character?

For everyone else, you need to roll your stats. The code you would use is:
{dice}4d6{/dice} but use square brackets instead of curly braces. The result should look like:
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 5) = 17

However, you keep the highest three and add them together, so for that roll, the stat would be 6+5+5 or 16. Do this a total of 6 times to get all your stats.


Yes, I will for this campaign and watch.

Should I make an alt to post under with a variation on the name Valeros?

The name Valeros is almost for sure taken, but you could do something like 'Valeros by lucem'.


Male Dwarf Wizard lvl 1, 8/8hp, AC 12, saves: F+2, R+2, W+4 (+2 vs. Poison/spells) Init: +4

4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6) = 17
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 1) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 6) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 5) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 1) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 5) = 15

I will also ask if I should start posting under this alt. (I'm mccartneytm)


Male Dwarf Wizard lvl 1, 8/8hp, AC 12, saves: F+2, R+2, W+4 (+2 vs. Poison/spells) Init: +4

so that would be 15, 9, 14, 12, 11, and 13 for my stats

Yep, it's good to switch to your character alias as soon as you can.

If anyone has trouble setting up the character alias, let me know and I'll walk you through the steps.

Nezeth, your stats are {15,9,14,12,11,13}. If you have your character sheet printed, you can go ahead and work through the Hero's Handbook steps to assign those stats and make the other choices for your character. Let me know if you are unsure how to do any step or if you need advice making any of the choices. When you're done, let me know and we'll talk about how to make your character's stats available on the website.


4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6) = 21 = 17
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 5) = 20 = 17
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 3) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 2) = 16 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 4) = 13 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 1) = 12 = 11

What's all this talk about ALT's? I don't understand :)


Male Human Rogue 1 hp:10/10 AC:17 Save: F:+2 R+8 W+1 init: +4 perc: +5

4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 3) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 6) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 3) = 9
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 2) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 1) = 15

Some are using 'alt' instead of the term 'alias' I'm using. The idea is that you have your main name you use on the Paizo forum which you use to post most places, but that you also can post as the name of your character. Since you're already posting as your character name, you don't need to worry about that.


Male Human Fighter Lvl1 5/12HP; AC17; Save: F+3, R+2, W+1; Int+6; Perc+0

"Messageboard alias" I think I've got it figured out.


Male Human Rogue 1 hp:10/10 AC:17 Save: F:+2 R+8 W+1 init: +4 perc: +5

My total modifiers only add up to +3, am i right in saying I can re roll those stats?


4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 2) = 12 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 4) = 15 = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 4) = 13 = 12
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 4) = 18 = 14
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 1) = 6 = 5
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 1) = 10 = 9


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Kairo and Lokhem can both reroll. (The guidebook gives standards for a reroll, but in practice, it's just GM opinion.)


Male Human Rogue 1 hp:10/10 AC:17 Save: F:+2 R+8 W+1 init: +4 perc: +5

lets hope these are better...

4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 5) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 4) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 3) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 1) = 5
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 4) = 17
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 1) = 10

wow the RNG gods hate me tonight.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Kairo, after two bad sets of rolls, I'll just assign you some numbers later tonight. I will make sure they are of approximately the same power level as the others.


Male Dwarf Wizard lvl 1, 8/8hp, AC 12, saves: F+2, R+2, W+4 (+2 vs. Poison/spells) Init: +4

I think that I've figured out what I want. Should I post it publicly or PM you?


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Usually people post the details in their alias profile. I would suggest using my character Narika as a template, if you want to try to post it right away. If that gets confusing, let me know.

How does it look? Anything I'm missing?


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Your character looks good at a quick glance. I will go over all the details of them (more than I would for a normal campaign) when they're all done.


Alright, round 2:
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 5) = 20 = 17
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 1) = 11 = 9
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 1) = 7 = 6
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 5) = 12 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 5) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1) = 8 = 7

Any chance you could give me some numbers, or would you like me to keep rerolling or just keep what I got this time?


Male Elf Cleric: LVL1 7/7HP AC: 17; Saves: F+1, R+3, W+5; Init: +3; Perc: +5

...I swear I did this earlier, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.

4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 2) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 6) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 6) = 21
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 4) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4) = 13


Male Elf Cleric: LVL1 7/7HP AC: 17; Saves: F+1, R+3, W+5; Init: +3; Perc: +5

Luckily, numbers ended up the same. Profile is updated.


Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

Taladriel, those come to (11,9,15,14,14,10) which is a decent set of numbers.

Lokhem and Kairo, you can use the set

4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 6) = 16 =14
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 4) = 18 =15
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 4) = 21 =17
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 1) = 14 =13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4) = 14 =12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 3) = 11 =10
