The Twisting Tree (Inactive)
Game Master Mug

So I decided that I would go straight fighter here. Character background is essentially the same (though she never became a cleric). I figured the character works just as well as a fighter, and it provides us with a primary melee. I made minor changes to the background personality sections, so you guys can read them in her profile if you wish.

I'll be happy to receive feedback here if anyone has any ideas.

I'll be honest, I'm having real trouble placing my character in Golarion. I'm not finding much information on where/how hobs live in the the setting other than generalities and a nation in the far east. Anyone know where I can find information on hobgoblin societies in the Inner Sea? I'm leaning toward a child of a survivor of the Goblinoid Wars that fled Isger after growing dissatisfied with a regimented lifestyle, but information on the area and conflict appears scarce.

EDIT An idea has started to form, interestingly while considering the MRI I have scheduled tomorrow morning. I hope to have a backstory fleshed out and completed shortly. Tomorrow night at the latest.

Took your advice on the Travel Domain and will also stick with the Inquisitor path so as not to dilute its value. Pretty muchready to go unless there is other input.

Thanks again.

Well, your BAB and base saves are wrong. You should have BAB +1, and Fort and Will should be +3.

Hmmm ... why not BAB +2, I have 2 hit dice. Also I am not seeing the 3 Fort and Will - shouldn't I only have 2 Will because of the base and 6 Fort with the base and Wisdom bonus? Not doubting you, I just may not be familar with nuances to the calcs.

Thanks

She's referring to the base Inquisitor table in the APG. It lists BAB on the left, and base fort, reflex and will next to it. What calc are you using?

Mug's got it. So as it is, your BAB is +1, and your saves should be Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +7. Also, you get 2 first level spells per day, plus 1 from your WIS score.

*Edit: Also, any idea when we'll be ready to get under way?

Yes, you are both right - thanks very much, I completely FUBARed the saves and BAB, sorry, was completely thinking the wrong thing.

To your question Miss Stormfury, if all the characters are ready early this week then we'll get started this week. I will have to get caught up at work since I've been gone all last week on vacation. What are you eager to get going? ;)

Mug, sorry I have been the slow one, I will have my character loaded tonight.

No worries and I'm looking forward to it. :)

hgsolo: Elianna Stormfury (Female Suli Fighter (Armor Master) 2)
Heavens Agent: Halbrin Markes (LN male hobgoblin rogue 2)
Budfox: Albrecht Kerkovian (Half-Elven Inquisitor (Abadar – Travel Domain) Level 2)
MisterLurch: Male Strix cleric of erastil 2
Ricky Bobby: Valasar Male Archon-Blooded Aasimar (Lawbringers) Magus (Kensai) 2

the character is a male strix cleric of erastil, level 2.

i have it mostly finished in my notes, i just have to type it into its profile.

You know it. This should be a good one.

Also, I think Ricky Bobby was going to be an aasimar magus.

*Edit: You ninja'd me.

You're right, I missed it. But have since found and edited my summation post.

Heh, apparently my entry was wrong and corrected before I even saw it. :)

Can't wait to start - my Kensai wants some bloooood. I mean...juuusssstice.

Thanks Punisher ;)

Greetings.

He is almost done. I need to flesh out his equipment, but that will not take long.

Excellent

Equipment is done. Let me know if there are any problems/glaring oversights.

Very good. Everyone be on the lookout today or tomorrow for an opening campaign post. Wahoo! Lets get this Twisting Tree... a twistin'!

@Albrecht (and possibly others) - Which area did you put your +2 campaign trait into? You can only choose one area of those I listed. Please specify on your character sheet where you list the trait so I can find it easier. Thanks!

@Velasar - I don't see your Campaign trait being utilized. Do you want to add it?

Its in Disguise - I've noted it as [Twisted Tree].

Thanks!

Yeah I will - I'll try to fix it tonight, but I'm packing and stuff for GenCon, so I may not get to it until after.

np, how long will you be out during GenCon? I'm pretty sure you told us already, but I forgot.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for that first post.

I'll be at Gen Con too this weekend, leaving Thurs am, back late Sunday, will be checking in, albeit less frequently due to access.

Actually, your talk of Gencon made me realize that I'll be in NY this Thursday and Friday and probably won't be able to post. But we can get started before then.

Looks like we missed our GenCon-ians before they left, any other brave soul going to get things started? :)

If anybody ever gets a chance to actually try raspberry mead, I highly recommend it. It is extremely sweet, but delicious.

when i came back from iraq after my first tour i brought home a jug of raspberry mead from shannon ireland. :) it was heavenly.

Guys, just an update; I've been swamped at work the last few days and been struggling to keep my head above water there. I hope you can all be patient with me while I get that crud worked out. I'll get in as soon as I can and get posting again. Thanks for being patient! Or at least not acting impatient! :)

No problem, though if you take too long I have a feeling Elianna's going to end up feeding me both my feet. And Vel's for good measure.

No problem, we are getting to know each other well and seeding the storyline for you ;)

Hahah. She is in a much better mood since that mead came along.

Actually, you're making me want some mead now Lurch. The first time I had it my friend brought some from a pagan commune (I know, go figure).

That's true. We've already had at least two NPC's mentioned (one by name).

Glad to hear it, keep it up and don't despair. :)

Heh, it's been fun so far - I like how Eli just called Vel out for the pretentious playboy arse he was acting like. :) Very nice, very nice.

And let's be honest, this group is either a really good or really bad joke just waiting to happen - even without story I think we'd go on for awhile on our own! "So a Suli, an Aasimar, a Hobgoblin, a Half-Elf and a Strix walk into a tavern...." hehehe.

Especially when two of them have ranks in profession brewer. XP

Wow you actually do have profession brewer - nice!

Actually learning a trade is often a great cover.

That's the idea. And I was originally going to make her a cleric of Cayden Cailean. Now she is a fighter who worships Cayden (and pays homage to some other deities), but her backstory still involves her traveling with a cleric who taught her how to brew.

It sure is, but I go and pick something mundane like carpentry and you guys have the sense to focus on booze, much more fun!

BTW - the being boring bit was an otherworld reference to an old Pet Shop Boys song by the same name with a great video.

Especially when two of them have ranks in profession brewer.

Yep, had to go brewer - I mean Velasar is rich, arrogant, pretentious and smart - how could he not be into microbrews??? ;)

so he is a hipster?

Touche' Keelix....lol

Maybe it was the coffee.

Sorry for my absence. My computer was possessed for a bit: Seems I should have uninstalled WoW a few years ago, when I last cancelled my game account. I started the updater while considering playing again, and it turns out they optimized the client files in that time. The launcher started the process on my machine, and for some reason it played havoc with my system files.

That's ok, everyone should have unistalled wow a few years ago ;-)

Hey guys. I might be unable to post for a couple of days starting tomorrow afternoon. I'm heading to Rome for a semester abroad and my flight is tomorrow. I'll still be able to post when I'm there, but obviously my posting times will change due to the change in time zone. I should be able to get some internet on my second or third day in.
