Right, never told you guys how I do hit-points. Roll for your hit points, but if you don't roll at least average (1/2 HD + 1), take that instead. This ensures you always get at least average HP every level, but gives you a chance to get a nice boost as well.
Cool!
Well...that simplifies things.
(chuckle)
Right, so taking the average instead ([8/2]+1=5) plus Con bonus (2), 7 more HP this level for Aemon.
. So average +1 is 4 +1 ConMod is 5. HP are now 12.
Korihor is taking a level of Wizard as she tries to learn to control her magic.
LEVEL 2
HP: =>8
Favored class bonus +1 Hp
Skills:
Athletics/Climb/Swim +1
Intimidate +1
Knowledge (arcana) +1
Knowledge (local) +1
Perception +1
Spellcraft +1
Background skills:
Appraise +1
Lore (Absalom) +1
BAB +1
Fort +1
Will +1
+Spellstrike
+1 0 level spell per day
+1 1st level spell per day
+2 spells Shield and Vanish
Average it is then! I believe everything else is updated. Though turns out I had an extra hit point this entire time. Sorry about that.
Sorry, been a hell of a couple of days for me. Well, a hell of a month, really, but the last couple of days especially.
New hit point try:
And average for me as well! I should have my updated character sheet done by Friday - sorry for the holdup. I'm probably going to redo my sheet; I've worked out a more friendly format since I did this one, and reconstructing it is going to make things way easier for me.
Hey all, I've been pretty sick so I haven't been around much, but I'm finally starting to recover. I'll take a look over everyone's sheet tomorrow and make sure it looks up to snuff, and I'll get us moving again.
Hope you're feeling better. :-)
Post incoming tomorrow; long story short, I ceased getting better, but I went to the doctor and they put me on some antibiotics. Should be up to snuff in a few days, but we will get trucking by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
I have been sick for almost the entire semester. When I went to the doctor they couldn't find anything especially wrong, just seemed like a cold. A cold that has lasted for months. *sigh*
Get better Jon!
Hope you get to feeling better, Jon.
On a lighter note, day-um, the dice-roller hates us!
Hey guys, just a quick update on a rules change for everyone. Back when I first started the campaign, I hadn't read the Stamina rules all the way through, and so I didn't allow them to be used. Having read through them a while back, I'm alright with people using them, and since this is the rule I've been rolling with in my other games, you get the same: You all gain the Combat Stamina feat for free.
If you're not familiar with the rules for Stamina, you can find them here.
Hey all, just a note: If you find you don't like this method of dungeon crawling, please let me know if you'd prefer to go back to the more standard method or if you have any ideas. I know this kind of thing can get tedious in PbP, so I'm mostly trying to keep it running as smoothly and quickly as possible.
And yeah, one of you pissed off the RNG big-time. What did you do, insult its mother?
I'm really sorry, guys - I've had a bunch of stuff pick up on me lately, and I don't think I have the mental capacity to devote to this game any more. It's really a wrench; I was excited about it, but it's unfortunately not going to work out. I hope the rest of you have great success, though! Jon, would you like me to write myself out or will you handle it?
Sorry to hear that, but I can handle it for now. As always, if later on you find youself having the time to devote to the game, just shoot me a PM and let me know you'd like back in and I'll do my best.
Hey guys, the power supply in my computer is kaput, so I might post less frequently for a few days until I get a new one.
You can totally drink the potion for what my votes worth btw. I just as soon assume everyone has permission to use what we find without having to ask but that's me. Sorry about your computer Z :(
Pyrrha could wear that chain shirt if it weren't covered in dead person juice.
Hey guys, just a heads up. I'm dealing with some personal stuff right now, involving school and other things. My posting might slow, but I'm still around and I'll keep us moving along, alright?
K
So, I'm still having some issues, but I just want to check that everyone's still here? I know I'm not moving super fast and that might be the reason, I just haven't seen much from anyone other than Ahto/Pyrrha in the past few weeks. I should hopefully be in the clear in about a week, but for now I'm unfortunately still very hung up on things. I know I'm not moving very quickly--I've been going a lot slower than I'd like--but the stuff on my mind has made it hard to really focus on games at the moment.
I'll let you guys know when I'm doing better, just want to make sure everyone's still around.
I'm persistent, I'm still here. Take all the time you need to get stuff in order, and appreciate the occasional check in
Me too. I'll do my part to keep the story moving.
I will admit I find it difficult to remember to post with the slow pace as well as upcoming exams (the last of my undergraduate!) But I don't want this game to end.
As I said, I understand that the slow posting can make it difficult to remember, so if that's the case I can accept that. Also, I put up the post just before Easter, and I knew that might delay people in replying to this. I'm going to give everyone else at least a while longer, probably like Thursday of next week--since that'd be two weeks even--before I do anything about finding new players.
That said, I wasn't planning on ending the game as long as at least someone was still present to play. I have some friends IRL that I also play with here on the boards who are interested in joining the campaign, and depending on how many people were/are still here I would open up recruitment again as well. At this point, it's looking like we will have enough between you all and my friends to not have to jump into recruitment, but we'll see how it goes. If we go into recruitment for it, I'll be asking you all for your opinions on those who might submit.
Also, it is looking like I should have most of this stuff resolved by next work, barring any sort of extreme circumstances. Either way, I should be able to pick up the pace of the game pretty shortly, so that should help with things. Also, congrats on almost being done with the exams! I've got another year left, myself.
I'll actually bow out, and can likely speak for Aemon as well. IRL I am in the middle of pre-production on two films, and it has drastically reduced my time. Please feel free to NPC our characters anyway you see fit (if you want them sticking around for a bit to keep the story congruous, or as NPCs for your new PCs to interact with.) :)
Thank you for the game, Jon. I really appreciate the effort you put in. And thank you everyone else for the enjoyable experiences. :)
See you two around maybe, good luck on your preproductions.
Looks like we will only need to fill two positions then?
It's sad to see people go, but it was fun guys! Hope to see you around someday.
Question for Jon: Would you mind if I replace the electric blast with the wind blast? I don't even remember my reasoning for choosing it in the first place, but every time I use it, it feels out of place for such a wind based character to be shooting electricity instead. I also wouldn't mind a chance to change my feats, but that's less important. Just because I plan on becoming more of a switch hitter as time goes on.
Question: with Korihor bowing out, who or what becomes our new McGuffin?
What I mean is, protecting Korihor was an integral part of the story line, so what is her replacement?
@Korihor: I'm sad to see the both of you go, but I understand how stressful and busy that kind of work is. Good luck with it, and remember you're all still given first pick at other games I run in the future. I hope to see you both around.
@Pyrrha: Two or three, to bring us back up to an even six. It really depends on the friends of mine who might be joining in, because there are potentially three of them and six was my original party size.
@Zephyrion: Go for it on the wind blast, I'm down with you changing that around. Let me know what you want to change with your feats, and we can discuss that here or through PM about working that out. The short answer is I'm fine with it, the longer answer is I just want to know what you plan to change and why, etc.
@Ahto: I'll likely NPC her at this point, at least for now. I may change my original plans some, but for the moment that will remain your objective, as if she's a plot-relevant NPC. Once we nail down the new characters and players, I'll start to really look into what I want to change around to suit the story. That said, that was never meant to remain the focus of the campaign necessarily (I know people complain about that a lot with Jade Regent), and more as something to fuel your initial investigation.
Thank you much, Jon. We do appreciate that. And totally NPC the crap out of her, lol. ;) Being as she had never actually cast a spell, she was almost an NPC anyway. ;)
For feats I have always planned on going for Celerity as fast as possible and getting our party some hasting fun. Of course I will take Kinetic Blade at level 5 and Kinetic Whip later on to make a good use of it myself. I like the fact that with my range boosts I'll always be a pretty solid ranged character, but I want to focus my feats on making myself more solid in melee so I can switch hit properly. I feel that air kineticists can be incredibly versatile and I would like to make use of that. To that end I would like to replace one of my feats with Toughness for two reasons, 1. To make myself a tougher target to take down up close and 2. To mitigate the burn from kinetic blade/whip. I would also like to replace my other feat with Weapon Focus as it will boost attack for both my ranged and melee attacks. I would then take Kinetic Blade as soon as possible.
That's fine with me, Zeph. Go ahead and switch that around.
Again, just checking in to let the three of you know I'm still here. Two of my friends, maybe more will be joining us, ironically as an Inquisitor and an Occultist. My issues have not quite been resolved, so I'm still looking at some problems for the foreseeable future. I'm going to try and get us back on track shortly, though, since I don't want to keep you guys waiting around much longer. I'll keep you guys updated, and hopefully this will be done with by next week and I can devote some more time to this.
Either way, I'm hoping to have our new players ready soon, and to have you three moving again by next week.
Update appreciated. Hope things get well for you soon.
Feats are switched! Thanks Jon, and thanks for keeping us updated too!
Thanks for the update; standing by!
One friend of mine is done with his character, and he'll be posting in Discussion some time later today. Another friend of mine is working on his character, and I think for now I'll roll with just the five of you. I might open up recruitment for a sixth slot later on, but I don't know that it's necessary right now.
I'm ready to keep moving at this point, if you guys are good to go. I just need you all to choose a direction, unless you already did? I know I posted last, but I don't remember if you guys knew which way you wanted to go. Either way, you guys can get posting again whenever you're ready. I'm not gonna be at full speed for another few days, but I just need to pick up some steam and we'll be back on track.
Sounds good Jon! I am in the midst of finals still, but I will try to pick up speed with you.
Howdy everyone. I'm Jon's friend, here with Darius Goldwin, the broker. Good to meet you all.
Hi! Welcome aboard.
Glad to have you!
Grumble grumble! No, just kidding, welcome!
I finished (crushed) the last final of my undergraduate earlier today! Much rejoicing!
Congrats!
Nice! I'm coming up on finals myself; unfortunately not the last set of them for undergrad, though. Also, meant to post today but I got busy. Expect at least one update tomorrow; if you all move ahead, I should have time to post more than once easy tomorrow.
Hey all! I'm the other new arrival to the game; sorry I haven't posted in earlier to say hey, life has been interesting of late. I'm looking forward to the game, though, and I hope to have a good time with you all! It seems like a neat party and a fun time.
Welcome aboard!
Welcome welcome!
