Hey Dutys_Fists, I was looking over your stat blocks and it seems you made a mistake. Fort saves are based off of Con not Str, unless you have an ability that I'm unfamiliar with your Fort should be much lower.
Also, anyone please feel free to critique my build, I want to make sure it is correct before we start this thing.
we are not using bestiary this time around. Already have a few people asking about stuff from it and it will be a mess with we suddenly add it in.
Aw, I was really looking forward to how I could make use of Flyby Attack with this guy. Alright though, I'll pick up something else.
I was considering a Rogue and a Paladin, but have just realized this is a PvP, which is not really my style.

Thanks! I'll fix that right now!

As you finish your characters please message them to me so I can look them over. I want to start soon but not sure how many people actually have characters finished.
PvP is kind of new and I am feeling out the rules so this time out i am sticking to the main books. depending on how sooth this runs i can add in other books such as bestiary feats, and other source book classes. I'd love to add psi's and 3rd party publishing but lets get our first bout out of the way and see what we like and hate about it.
Okay, one question for my character, and one question for the whole thing.
The bigger question is, are consumables going to be replenished between fights? So, for example, if someone has a scroll that they use for one battle, will they have it back for their next? Likewise for potions, etc.
Actually, that kind of extends to another question, are we getting rests in between battles? So, would spellcasters restore their spells before going into their next fight? It's been my assumption that we are, but I don't know if it was actually mentioned.
My other question will probably decide whether or not my character is done. Have you decided whether or not the Spiritual Ally spell will use Wisdom or Charisma for an Oracle? If it uses Wisdom, I'll need to change it.
If not, I'm probably done.
I guess I will enter in Ezra from here.
NOTE: This will be my first PbP so... Please take care of me!

Me neither, but I think PvP is even less common, so probably a learning experience all around.
Just a note on your character... No way to bump up Will? That looks eerily low. If you have any money left over, a Cloak of Resistance could be quite worthwhile. Unless you already have something else in that slot (didn't see as much, but haven't really checked too carefully).
...Hope you don't mind me looking over the build. You're free to check mine, too.
Oktain is almost ready, just need a mount and a few more items, so you can check up on him.
Quick question: Will we have time to prepare before combats?
Also, what do you estimate the distance between combatants at start to be?
I cannot finish my character until I have an answer to the first question.
Also have we gotten any confirmation of Piecemeal Armour?

The background says "Since everyone is traveling in they will have a little time to prep but will have to deal with dwindling resources as they go from battle to battle." so I'm assuming that we might get some downtime between fights, but no recovery time and no reset. So you might be able to spend 20 minutes hitting yourself with CLW wands, but you wouldn't get to reset spells.
Just a guess, though.
-----
As for a question of my own - are we using the new pricing for Amulets of Mighty Fists?

I think I'm finished. I'll PM you too.
Okay, so this is my entry. I just have 3,041gp more to spend but these funds are probably going towards potions and what not.
Also, this is my first PbP and PvP as well. I hope all goes well because it seems like it could be really fun.
Ok spells are purchased. I am ready.
Chai boy, a few comments:
1. Definitely have people post characters. Many eyes looking at builds will help spot problems. Solicit volunteers to check specific things: Ie., have someone check that wizards have the right number of spells (and have paid the right amount). Have another person check Feat prereq's. Have another do money balances, etc. Another check stat array.
2. I believe that one of the early posts stated no rests. I suggest it be standardized to either 5 round matches.
3. Darkwolf, I think you should plan that only rules as written, at least for the first event. While we all have exceptions or changes we'd probably like, to make it easier on Chai I think we should probably expect RAW.

Anyone want to volunteer to help check characters?
1. I agree. everyone's alias should be their character so we can check the characters.
2. The number of matches is based on the number of people playing. so 32 people is 5 rounds. 16 is 4 rounds. 8 is 3 rounds, 4 is 2 rounds and 2 is just 1 round. As for rests you won't be getting much rest. Although you have to travel from arena to arena you won't be able to hide in the tunnels and try to rest the Heralds will make sure no one dawdles.
3. I am using RAW. If it isn't in one of the books mentioned it wont be allowed. After the event we can discuss any rule adjustments or oddities that need to be worked out.

I posted about what happens at beginning in the discussion thread. basically you'll walk up to the Herald and will be transported into the arena. from there you will ride/walk/swim/fly up the tunnel to the actual battlefield to fight your first opponent. So you'll have about a minute to cast or ready any items.
battlefields were not told to anyone. Only that each is different. But he does make it clear that everyone will be able to use their abilities...
Sorry on the delay, I'll have a character up for your approval later. He will be built strictly on the books you listed.
Updated to 11.
Should be right.
Will animal companions/familiars go on the same initiative as their master?

Revised list
Varrel, it looks to me even with your gear you have a 28 point build.
Guys, to make the math easier to check could you post like this:
Stat Bought / Racial Mod / Level Adj / Gear.
So using Varrel as an example (and I may have missed some things)
St 16/-/-/2 = 18
Dex 12/2/-/2 = 16
Con 16/-2/-/2= 16
Int 16/+2/+2/+2=20
Wis 10/-/-/+2 =12
Ch 7/-/-/- = 7
Brice, build looks good:
18/-/2/6 =26
14/-/-/- =14
14/-/-/- =14
10/-/-/- =10
12/2/-/2 =16
7/2/-/- =9
17+5+5+2 -4 = 25

Verrels' Stats are correct:
Str 18 = 16 Base + 2 Enhancement (+10 pts)Dex 16 = 14 Base + 2 Racial (+5pts)
Con 16 = 15 Base - 2 Racial + 1 Level + 2 Enhancement (+7 pts)
Int 20 = 15 Base + 2 Racial + 1 Level + 2 Enhancement (+7 pts)
Wis 12 = 10 Base + 2 Enhancement (0 pts)
Cha 7 = 7 Base (-4 pts)
Total points: 25

Chaiboy, I noticed that you still have me listed separate from Brice Venton. So the total should actually be 13 once you remove Please Don't Kill Me form the list (because I am Brice Venton).
Fixed.
still have one person missing i think.
I'm looking over the sheets today and confirm as many as possible.
we just have Joshua Hirtz and Dan that have to get their character in.
What is everyone using to build their character? hero lab or some other software or just by hand?
Verrels' Stats are correct:
Str 18 = 16 Base + 2 Enhancement (+10 pts)
Dex 16 = 14 Base + 2 Racial (+5pts)
Con 16 = 15 Base - 2 Racial + 1 Level + 2 Enhancement (+7 pts)
Int 20 = 15 Base + 2 Racial + 1 Level + 2 Enhancement (+7 pts)
Wis 12 = 10 Base + 2 Enhancement (0 pts)
Cha 7 = 7 Base (-4 pts)Total points: 25
Great catch joshu - didn't catch the 15 pt with the +1 LA.
Urdavan stat block looks good.
Suggestions:
If we end up without the correct number to make a bracket (ie., 16)
allow people to bid for the bye.
Each person must bid more than the last bidder.
Each point bid can be redeemed by 2000gp in bribe to the heralds, or 1 hero point.
Top x bids get the byes, when bidding stops.
Suggest also that after the byes, people can use 1 point to change their opponent (random draw) in any round, or two points to pick their opponent.
3. Darkwolf, I think you should plan that only rules as written, at least for the first event. While we all have exceptions or changes we'd probably like, to make it easier on Chai I think we should probably expect RAW.
Good point. I'll see whether or not I want to change the spell or keep it as is.
Also, anyone who would like to double check my build for errors, please do. Likewise, I'll do the same on others.

*Not sure where your character build is so I just linked it to the Alias.
Also, Ravingdork submitted a character but I'm not sure whether or not if he has dropped out because he was not listed in any of your lineups.
Updated. If someone could check out my hp I'd appreciate it. I've got 8 levels of favored class bonus to hp.
Urdavan, you have 93 hp listed. If I've got this correct, you should have 1st level=8 +(10d8=50) +con 33 = 91 You may have put 2 levels of favored class to hp, though so I could be wrong.
Brice, I don't know anything about the Feral Gnasher so there might be something I'm missing. for HP you have 120 listed non raging. I'm looking at 1st level=12 +(8d12=56) +(2d8=10) +con 22 = 100 and the raging would be 122. That said, I don't know what all of your feats do, so maybe one of them adds 20 hp. If feral Gnasher is your favored class that would add 9 hp and you could get the other 11 from toughness, which I didn't see but could have missed.
Chai, I use ScoreForge and then hand check with pencil and paper.
Urdavan, you have 93 hp listed. If I've got this correct, you should have 1st level=8 +(10d8=50) +con 33 = 91 You may have put 2 levels of favored class to hp, though so I could be wrong.
Yep, that's one of those "I know we're not leveling" choices. It's +1/3 of a bonus each level as a favored class option, so 10 and 11 are +2 hp instead of +2/3 of a bonus.
Good eye, though. :)
Currently Making an Alias.
5. Marcus Ironskin a Summoner (Ashe)
Is it verified if Marcus is indeed participating, with this summoner? If so, I think there a few inconsistencies on it.
Also, unless anyone notices something off with my character, I think this is pretty much the final version. Hopefully, he doesn't get slaughtered.
Here is the Alias so far currently entering in the rest of the information.
EDIT: Alias is finished as far as I can tell.
Did I miss anything?
Q: Will we experience any unusual lighting conditions?
Also, 95% done with items, almost done with mount too. I fiddled with a few things, so the people who checked my stat blocks might want to do it again
I do have to ask, would you allow us to buy magic items (Such as wands and potions) at higher than bare minimum caster level?
From what I recall, hour long durations are fine, and I think we get 1 round of buffing before fights... but I'm not entirely positive on that.
As for the synthesist, at first glance, I thought it might be incorrectly built, but I'm not entirely positive now. I haven't really looked too carefully yet though, so dunno.

There is variable lighting and different kinds of conditions. The Herald does not tell you exactly what conditions you will face. He only tells you that it is never the same and always mercurial.
