This is where we'll start learning the way of the post. You will be taught how to navigate the website and how to roll a

[dice=Check to Not Die]1d20 + 3[/dice]

Check to Not Die: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Eventually, when you become worthy of its divine focus, you will be taught the basics of the CORE RULEBOOK.

For now, though, we'll just talk.

As a reminder: Everyone should try to get into the habit of checking these posts once a day.


Male? Clockwork Golem GM 1

You will all see at the top that i have posted the link to something we will use in the future. The map is the most important thing in any given encounter. There's not much to learn about the map, but i'll get into it once we're all here.

LESSON 1: The Art of Checking the Posts

In order to know what is happening within the campaign, you must navigate to this page. The process is deceptively simple.

Once you log into Paizo, Click your name in the top-right.
Navigate to the Posts tab (for now, but as soon as we start playing, you can find it in the Campaigns tab).
Click the name of the discussion (Or the discussion subsection in campaign tab once we start playing).

Everyone please notify me when you have become familiar with this process so we can proceed.

Lesson 2: Post formatting

There are certain functions on this website that allow you to change your text, some of which will be necessary to play. Scroll down, and you will see a "Show" button under the text box. If you click it, it will show you all the formatting you can do. Previewing your posts can show you what it will look like without actually posting it. The roll function and the out-of-character functions will be invaluable soon enough, so practice them and experiment until you are comfortable with them.

So for now, that's actually all you need to know. At this point it's probably best to start learning the ways of the CORE RULEBOOK.

Lesson 1: The Core Rulebook
Most people own a hard-cover copy of the CRB, but I know a website that knows a website that knows a website that contains basically the entirety of the CRB. Behold!

The Pathfinder PRD!
Not sure what the PRD stands for. whatever.

Disclaimer: You will NOT need ANYTHING from ANY section that ISN'T under the core rulebook tab. If you want to look at stuff, expand the CRB tab and look at stuff there. You'll just get confused if you do not follow these instructions.

*INHALE*

Woo, that was a long one.

Lesson 2: The Basic Rules

There are almost literally a crap ton of rules, so for now i'll just go over the things you need to memorize.

  • A d20 is used for anything that isn't damage or percentile.
  • When your hp reaches 0, you fall unconscious and start bleeding.
  • Your race determines what species you are, and your class determines how you fight.
  • 10 copper is 1 silver; 10 silver is 1 gold; 10 gold is 1 platinum.
  • When you attack, you first roll to determine if you hit. Then, you roll to see how much damage you do.

    These are just a few of the THOUSANDS of rules pathfinder has. not that you'll need to know all of them, but it's important to understand the basics. More are on the way.

    Lesson 2: Common terms

    Go to the PRD website and expand the CRB row. Click on Getting Started, and scroll down to the Common terms section. Read up on the terms and understand them, for they will influence the world your character lives in.
