Nightflier's Blackdogs in Absalom
Game Master nightflier

Saltuk, those are incredible ability scores.

Equipment is done, though not on profile. I probably add it tomorrow evening, as I will be out most of the day tomorrow.

Dresen smirks at the comments. "Well, you know how it goes. Not all of us are blessed enough to be a devil's bastard child like you, Gorn. Us normal folk have to be content with being born with our skill rather than made, but that's alright too, Saltuk, because one day they'll figure out how to fix what went wrong with you."

Lol, anyways, congrats to all who made it. Look forward to seeing you in game. And for all of our healer types out there good luck.

Gorn is close to being done, welcome any feedback...

Looking over your character sheet, Gorn, the only thing I'm noticing is that your Armor Class should only be 18 and not 19. You are correct in your math and all, but Leather Armor only provides a Max Dex Bonus of +6 rather than your full bonus of +7.

True...I guess I have never had a character with his Dex this high before...will fix it, thx.

Its cool. Rogues are my forte, so if there's any time you have questions or need advice, just let me know. I pride myself on my Knowledge (Scoundrel) checks.

I had to manually do Elaugvyr due to custom content and extra paizo sources, so there could be errors.

Also anyone know what the cost for drow poison is?

75 GP for Drow poison. Not sure if that's for a single dose or a single vial or what. A single bolt laced with it is 100.

I just found the poison list. It is under the Appendix 1: Special Abilities. Weird topic to put it under. Page CR 557 is the start of the poison section.

The rules for poisoned weapons is very poorly written, and could mean a whole lot of possible interpretations in how much a vial of poison can cover and for how long the weapon remains poisoned. Also how many positive attacks the poison lasts on the weapon. This is one section that can be improved on in future source books or on Paizo Blogs.

This is rather bad for assassin characters and other poison use races.

Anyway, she does not have the funds to have poison.

Only Heroic Path is missing. I have Midnight RPG and played it in the past. Heroic path is an interesting concept. One thing the disease could resulted in an very interesting heroic path.

I like the heroic path ideas as well. Very interesting concept to me.

Though the Heroic Path and Sorcerer Bloodline are very similar in design in how they develop abilities.

Now just waiting for nightflier to check character and provide Heroic Path 1st level information. Monkeygod for the background comments.

I am ready for the action to begin.

At least the drow will know each other when they arrive at Blackdogs.

Same here, Ela.

Elaugvyr sits at a table by the wall in the dim lit room. After a while she takes out her single tube flute to play some tunes as she waits for the big announcement.

I am completely good to go! Barring any input from Nightflier, that is.

Gorn sits in the back, trying not to call any additional attention to himself...this much Drow evil in one place is enough to unnerve even a man with Devilish blood in his veins...then you add in the construct standing in the middle of the room, it's unhuman eyes seemingly watching everyone....Gorn is unsure that he made the right decision accepting Kellen's offer and coming to this place... :)

She stops playing for a moment to speak, "Kal, get me some water.".

Pity the Advance Race Guide is not out to see what interesting options they have for tiefling, hobgoblin and drow characters for this adventure.

In agreement with Dark, but that does bring a thought up. If we're still going strong when the ARG comes out, will we be allowed to retcon our characters providing its not that drastic of a change?

Well, I sure be around for decades. I just hope the others can last for decades too. Unless I end up dead, in a coma, or physically unable to communicate.

No sign of nightflier posting the last few days, which is unusual from his intense posting regularity. Hope nothing bad has happened to him.

It's the weekend, so it's no big deal. Not to mention I noticed him posting in a few other forums.

Hey, guys. :) No need to worry, I'm here. To explain my absence, I usually don't post in the game threads over the weekend.

Now, during the next few days, I will check out your characters and assign heroic paths for you. This will probably last till the end of the week, since I have a lot of work to do, so the game will start next Monday.

Later today, I will choose a healer character among those who applied.

DarkOne, since you are familiar with Midnight, and I am looking for another player for my Midnight pbp, are you interested?

I sure can help out with Midnight. I like the dark, doom and gloom setting. Can PM with the details. I have Midnight 2nd Ed.

We have only 1 healer submission here.

Dark's right. Vali is the only healer submission we have and his submission looks pretty straight to me. I know Apocalypso was considering running a cleric, but He hasn't posted in awhile, so I think he's out.

Forgot about Apocalypso due to lack of postings. See he is very new to the forums, and only has posted in this thread.

Pretty much why I said that. Not sure he's even still in. Vali looks all settled and seems to be the only one still actually vying for the position.

When Nightflier posted his list... but still asked for healers... I presumed that neither of the healers I proposed was a good fit for this campaign, or that my noob questions had been annoying, or both.

Still, everyone has been very gracious here, helping me figure my way around (I'm a very experienced tabletop and MMORP gamer. I even playtested some AD&D stuff with Gygax back in the 70's. But I am new here.) So thanks everyone.

I'm inspired now to see if the characters I started could be tweaked to fit another campaign. Have fun. It looks like an exciting campaign.

There's nothing wrong with what you posted, Apocalypso. On the contrary, I thought you had some pretty decent ideas, but if you feel more comfortable backing out then I'm not going to hold it against you. We appreciate you applying and you can trust me when I say that 90% of us are more than willing to assist you with your 'noob questions'.

All of us were 'noobs' at one point or another when it came to PBP.

Can't wait for Monday, I am itching to get posting.

Vali, I've decided to accept your character.

Apocalypso, please follow the game. If someone drops out, you will automatically take the spot.

Now, guys, I have a ton of work to do. I may not post each day, but I will try to review you characters as fast as I can. Please continue to work on your characters in the Discussion Thread and post under you characters there.

Thanks.

Yeah, looking back over the creation guidelines I think I got it messed up just slightly (as in, I think I missed something). Can we get a recap on the guidelines when you get a chance, Night? For sake of ease?

nightflier, if I am to join the Midnight game, I would like to built the character this weekend when I got plenty time. Also a summary of the game so far would be helpful.

I made a few modifications to Dresen - the first being that I changed his alignment to Type-2 Lawful Evil and the second being a slight modification to the end of his background where I changed the reason for his joining Ela and Kal to 'joining them to train them rather than going back to Blackstrand and facing death.' Also the feeling I had of missing something on my sheet comes from the fact that I failed to add the bonus feat from Nightflier's house rules. Is that house rule still in effect? If so, I will be more than likely adding Combat Reflexes to my list of feats.

Everyone still alive?

Yes. I'm in cryogenic lockdown.

I was running my debug.

Still here...just hoping that the itch I picked up at the brothel doesn't turn out to be anything more serious

Dresen laughs a little. "Good. Just making sure I wasn't the one that had to carry the team."
