So we're still waiting on Scavion's Monk.
I'll get up an introduction though, we can have some time for some inter-party RP and such.
I guess the one thing TBD: Do Dorla and Ugash know each other?
I thought we are supposed to be a bounty-hunting team.
That's one option, yeah, but you could just as easily have come individually. In Lemmy's case will have had to, and Scavion's motorcycle implies he's not going to be traveling with others.
Well, I'm fine with whatever way, just post the introduction D:
Actually I'm pretty much done with my sheet. Dorla and I worked out a bit of character backstory involving one another, so we know each other going into this. A Thunder Cycle seats two by the by.

You son of a b~&@% I just finished writing the post with the assumption you didn't know each other. =(
It amaze me how difficult is for you to decide what new characters to play
I simultaneously have too many and too few options...
Too many because there is lots of stuff to do. Including a few rules I'm not terribly familiar with... And too few because most concepts I had in mind are either incompatible with the campaign's setting and rules or too similar to characters I'm already playing.
What were some of the concepts that were incompatible?
spell-casters, for one.
That's not a concept, that's a number of classes.
That's not a concept, that's a number of classes.
Yup. And most of my initial concepts used those classes...
And I'm really, really, really not in the mood for yet another Full BAB/high Strength/low Cha warrior type...
I might have found a character concept to play... Gotta check a few things first.
fortunately this was not a wuxia game, the recent change to sacred fist would have nerfed my character there.
Does anyone even care about Paizo erratas anymore? 90% of them are g$$!*~n awful!
I thought you were going to give us a specific hook for our bounty hunting chars to go there.
You have one, though you don't specifically know what item it is...and I didn't give you a location, did I? One sec.
Bags of Holding are magic items...so no, they are not legal.
I assume that the only magic items that can go in a clockwork familiar are potions???
I'm gonna say you can use Dorjes and Power Stones as wands and scrolls respectively.

Assuming Chirrup is your Construct, no. Constructs are immune to nonlethal damage.
Share Spells lets you use Personal Extracts on your Familiar, but you don't both get the benefit, just one.
Haven't so far. =)
There is an awesome Guide to PbP Gaming by DoomedHero. I use its tips and guidelines for my own PbP posts and recommend others to do the same. It's awesome. :)
Where can I find that Paladin archetype you mentioned?
EDIT: Eh... Nevermind... It's a Soulknife archetype. Soulknifes are boring to play.

No, not Gifted Blade.
That archetype is quite underwhelming...
Well, at least for this first part (since I haven't planned much beyond), most of the enemies you face will be either Aberrations or Psonic creatures, if that changes your estimation. Losing LoH hurts though.
For less underwhelming archetypes, check the Pack Leader (Ranger who gets a Collective, and can cast Personal Powers on his teammates when they're in it).
Ranger is cool and all... But I really don't want another high Str/low Cha dude... I'm playing 2 of those already.
I considered playing a Dread or Psychic Warrior... But I don't like the fear-based theme of the Dread... And too many creatures are immune to fear effects.
The PW comes close to something I'd want to play, but its skills and mechanics don't help me play any of the concepts I had in mind.
Paladin I gave up. No archetype is useful and interesting enough to replace the loss of spells. And in hindsight, I really don't want to deal with alignment. At all.
Well, let's look at some stuff with at least a secondary Cha focus:
Dread
Wilder
Warlord
Warrior of the Holy Light
Ninja (I can work with you on a "ninja Unchained" of sorts if you like).
Plus, it's 25 PB...there's really no excuse for dumping stats below 10.
The current party make-up is a somewhat defensively based beatstick, a Monk, and an Alchemist, so you can really fit anything in there.
Also, Soulknives really aren't that boring. There are some quite nice Blade Skills (I like the one that gives you Wis to attack/damage).
Especially if you go Soulknife/Aegis/Metaforge with the Student of the Astral Suit and Mind Blade Knight (?) Feats, which raise your effective level by 4. It's very nearly a Gestalt character.

You know it would help if you told me what concepts you had in mind, exactly. I could help you hammer out a character with that stuff in mind.
Also I think I told you I don't really do Alignment, but you would still have a Code (one that we could work together to make). Warrior of the Holy light really isn't that bad, especially since you can't have spells anyway.
If you go martial Try the warlord, it have tons of options via path of war tricks and you would want it since you complaining about not having options with martials.
Really not big on the archer front, either... I like archery more as a backup plan. It's too boring in combat. You can't use maneuvers or even take AoO... It's the apex of Full Attack-spamming.
Only archer characters that are fun to play (IMO) are the ones that use very versatile spell-casting classes, such as Bards or Clerics.
Whatever... I think I'll make a Mind Knight Psychic Warrior...
Huh... I don't have the Ultimate Psionics pack for HL...
Guess I gotta do it the old way. -.-'
If you don't have the PDF by the way I can send you mine. Not all the stuff is on the SRD.
I have the pdf. And the book. It's just creating the character sheet that is going to be annoying. HL made em spoiled... I guess Myth-weaver will ahve to do.
We're at 8th level, right? Can you add a quick guide to the campaign's rules & guidelines, like progression, unusual feats, etc?
Anyway... Let's see...
EDI: WTF???!!! oO
That's... 18, 14, 18, 16, 18, 18!!! Holy s#+~!
"Man I don't like rolling stats. Rolling for stats sucks. Boo."
I stand by my opinion. The fact that I got lucky doesn't make it any better of a system... In fact, it makes one of its problems even more glaringly obvious.
How are we calculating hp?
And how do I use Weapon Finesse in myth-weavers?

By calculating and writing yourself the values.
