I've posted that information in the Campaign Info tab about languages. Please check that and maybe play around with the translators for a bit and practice posting things in different languages. Remember, as per my previous post about languages, anything that is in a language your character doesn't know is information that your character doesn't know. So either don't look at it, or keep the metagame knowledge separate from your character's game knowledge.

Elven Curve Blade is a no-go. You aren't proficient.

Since you're using finesse I'd go rapier and shortbow for now. I'll do my best to get you the gear you need, and send you the PDF. You'll need to create the profile for Tamarelle just like everyone else has before we can begin play.

Rapier 30gp

Short Bow 20gp
Studded Leather 25gp
Theives Tools 30gp

Lets go with these

I'm having a bit of trouble copying and pasting from both the Elvish and Dwarven/Sylvan translators... The elvish site doesn't give symbols, only the pronunciations, and the other one just gives a picture that you can save...


Okay, so I finally got some stuff done with my character! I'm going to stick with a Dhampir Witch named Asteria. (Background to follow later once I figure a few more things out.) Here are my rolls:

Stat Array #1: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 122d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 142d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 112d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 92d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 = 162d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17

Stat Array #2: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 82d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 112d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 122d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 = 142d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 = 142d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16

Stat Array #3: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 152d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 112d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 172d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 162d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 102d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13

That is a serious problem! I'll look into it and probably adjust the links accordingly.

@Asteria: If it were me I'd be picking that third array. :)


Male Kitsune Antipaladin/1

Nice roll, 15,11,17,16,10,13


I think I like the look of my third roll best. I did some homework and I am tentatively thinking of placing my stats like this:

Strength: 10
Dexterity: 15
Constitution: 16
Intelligence: 17
Wisdom: 11
Charisma: 13

I was also thinking of flopping my dex and char. Any thoughts before I commit?

Thanks, guys! I'm pretty happy with it! :)


Battle Grid

@Asteria: Remember you're going to get +2 Dex, +2 Cha, and -2 Con from the Dhampir race. You might also want to look at the Dayborn alternate racial trait. Don't forget to also roll 3d6 for your starting wealth, unless you're going to select a trait that gives more starting wealth.


Battle Grid

I've updated the language options on the Campaign Info tab again. Found a great resource, hopefully everything works well now. If anyone wants to give it a try putting in some example language spoiler posts, (Kaze o I'm looking at you) please go ahead. I'd like to know that everything is useable, especially since it looks like we're getting awfully close to being ready to start. :)


Battle Grid

@Asteria: Not to make things more difficult but if you chose the alternate heritage Jiang-Shi-born (Ru-Shi) you'd actually get +2 Dex, +2 INT and -2 Wis. Having 19 Int at first level for an Arcane caster is going to seriously beef up your magic, and if you put the 15 in Wis, you can take that -2 hit in stride. Then put the 13 in Dex, and it will go up to 15 with the +2. Just a thought. :)

Yikes! That is a lot to think about! I was planning on going with Dayborn already. That just makes my life a lot easier! I am really liking that alternate heritage! I completely overlooked it. I think I'll take your advice on the stats if I go with that, which I think I will. Would the Jiang-Shi-born and normal dhampir racial bonuses stack or will I have to pick which one to take? (I'm assuming the latter but I figured I'd check.)

Side note: Thanks for reminding me of the wealth roll! I don't think I have any other traits available to swap for better wealth.
Wealth: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5) = 9


Battle Grid

Just so everyone is aware, Rednaxel completely butchered that example post.

The language that the character is speaking that is different than common is what should be displayed, and it should be displayed in bold. Then the translation into common is what should be in the spoiler, and it should NOT be in ooc color.

This is how Rednaxel's post should have looked.

Dao avai dardhav kakrav kdin!

Dwarven:
Die you flithy goblin scum!

Wros du aeui kaom, kersrae? I suud o bosr iiks roks aeaor!

Goblin:

Battle Grid

@Asteria:

Here's what I would do with your abilities.
Jiang-Shi-born (Ru-Shi) Dhampir = +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Wis
Str:11
Dex:13+2=15
Con:10
Int:17+2=19
Wis:16-2=14
Cha:15

Were I you, this is how I would rearrange the stats. You don't really need constitution, your charisma will probably end up being more important, for social things. Obviously you need to decide what's best for you, but if it were me building this character, that's how I'd go.

90 gold to start with? Good thing you don't need armor and quarterstaves are free. :)


Battle Grid

Also @Asteria: I hate to keep giving you new things to think about, but the name of this group is going to be Fire and Ice, because we already have some fire (infernal) and ice (deathless frost) based characters. There is an archetype for the witch class called the Winter Witch. Taking that archetype would give you access to some cool (pun intended) cold-themed abilities, and doesn't really have any detriment other than giving you a smaller list of familiars to choose from.


Ya, sorry about that, guys. I posted that right before I went to bed, and I was really out of it. After I posted it, I thought to myself, hmmm this doesn't seem right, but I was too tired to care. Sorry again.


Battle Grid

@Asteria yet again: In order to get the process moving here, I'm going to let you know what other information I need from you.

  • Assuming you are going to keep the 19 in INT, I'll need 4 more languages from you, there are only a few languages you don't have access to, so pick whatever you want. If you end up picking something you don't have access to, I'll let you know.
  • You need to pick a patron. If you do go with the Winter Witch archetype I might suggest the Winter patron for great thematics. :)
  • You need to make a familiar choice. Remember if you do decide to go with the Winter Witch archetype the list of animals to pick from is just a bit smaller.
  • I also need 7 first level spell choices to add to your familiar's known list. The list of spells you can pick from is here.
  • You need to pick a feat.
  • You can also pick either two traits, or three traits and a drawback. Just so you're aware, the Dayborn "trait" is actually an alternate racial trait, so it doesn't count against your trait choices.
  • I also need to know where you want to spend your 7 skill points, or 6 skill points, if you take the extra hit point as your favored class bonus.
  • I've already bought Asteria all her necessary gear, and given her the free quarterstaff. She's still got 80gp left, so if you want to buy a ranged weapon let me know. Remember Asteria is only proficient in simple weapons.

Right now we're just waiting on you for your final choices, and on a couple others to finish their profiles completely, and then we're ready to begin play. So, no pressure, but the start time of the entire campaign pretty much hinges on how quickly you make all these choices. :P


Battle Grid

Speaking of those other people and their profiles...

Imfazl your profile page is empty except for a link to a google drive file that I can't access. SampleText, you haven't even created the alias for Tamarelle yet... You both should take a look at the profiles for Quimkithe, Kaze O, and Sadira for examples of what the profiles should look like. With any luck we might be able to get this thing started before our upcoming "spring break," which would allow for the enjoyment of actual game-play over the five days off.

Also the IPads don't have bold or italic options for this. So we will have to be on computers when talking. I even tried copying and pasting but they return to regular format.

It would be great to start over break. We could get a really good start on it.

Alright my friends, since we are somewhat close, and kind of by way of getting everyone interested enough to get their stuff together and done. I'm going to post the opening to the campaign in the game-play thread. If your character is completely built, and you have a complete and approved profile page (which as of the time of me posting this means only Kaze O, Quimkithe, and Sadira), you may post your characters actions, thoughts, and words into the game-play thread.

Let the game begin!

Also!!!!

Hopefully I get this in before anybody posts. YOUR CHARACTERS DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER. (Except for Sadira and Tamarelle obviously) They may have casually talked to one another, but they might only know each other's names and a brief back story. So please do not post something like.

Quimkithe walks over to Sadira and says, hi.

We're telling a story, and your posts should pick up right after my post left off. What would Sadira do in that situation? Where in that giant underground complex would she go. Would she want to talk to someone to see what they thought of their host's introduction of himself? Etcetera. Please be more imaginative than, we all find a room and immediately are best friends and ready to adventure.

Tamarelle is complaining about the work required to actually put together the required profile... It's possible Tamarelle will never be ready to adventure.

It's also possible that:

Ha ha okay

that silly daughter of mine


K now that Kaze o is in play over on the other tab, this will be my discussion tab Profile


Just posted my first post

feelings:
So excited to start this!


Oh and just to point something out about my character, as far as I know Kitsunes age at about the same rate as Humans so when his character sheet says he is 16, it means he has the experience, feelings and reactions of a teenager, meaning he may be impulsive or slightly nervous of things unfamiliar to him plus he is paranoid around people so he has odd mannerisms when he gets worked up. Just felt this needed to be clarified for story's sake.


Makes sense to me, he is going to have a lot to deal with emotionally what with being so young and this new and mysterious group coming together. It will be fun to see how everyone progresses, not just Kaze o, throughout the game.

Just glad you got it figured out. You might want to put Tamarelle as the default alias, because if you accidentally post in the discussion forum as her it won't be that big of a deal.

Edit: Also, make sure you transfer all that character information over to the Tamarelle profile. She also needs a good back story, though much of it is covered in Sadira's you still want to discuss how she felt about all those things that happened, and maybe imagine a couple stories specifically that happened to her, maybe even that her mother Sadira wasn't aware of...


Battle Grid

Okay all, it looks like we've got a good start going here. I'm going to go ahead and let you all set the scene for your characters to forge relationships with each other. Remember there are a lot of other monsters and NPCs milling about as well, if you want to talk to anyone other than a PC all you have to do is imagine them (based off of my first post descriptions of course) and I can step in at any time as an NPC and carry on conversations, answer questions, or just participate in the what's going on here? process. Otherwise I'm just going to let things play out for a while, and then I'll continue the narrative when I see things are ripe for what I've got planned next to move the story along. As I said before though, I'm going to let you all drive the story, so much of what I have planned could change based off of your character actions and interactions. :)


Although I love that it is a "play whenever you can" type game, I can already tell that it is going to be a love/hate relationship. :P


It sucks having so much free time, I've been sporadically refreshing the page like every ten minutes at least...


Dude, you and me both! That's what I'm talking about with this love/hate relationship.

Quick note, and some of you have time to fix this still. When your character is speaking in a different language you need to put the name of the language in the spoiler.

Examples: [spoiler=Orcish] or [spoiler=elven]... you get the idea.

This way those players that know those languages know that if their character is within ear shot, they can click on the link because they would understand that language. If you don't spoiler the name of the language no one will know what language the character is speaking in.


Male Kitsune Antipaladin/1

@Rednaxel and @Finwe2154. Remember to put what language you are speaking in as the spoiler label.
