Dark Minstrel** spoiler omitted **
Just wondering if his perception should be higher than what I calculated using his ability scores. The 3.5 Raven has Spot +5 and Listen +3, probably due to a racial bonus, but the srd and MM are silent as to why these are so high. We aren't able to see the Pathfinder version of the Raven yet, so just wondering.
Also, a raven will probably have a racial fly skill and bonus, though there is no way to really know this right now.
It may not be important at this point and we can wait till the Pathfinder bestiary comes out. Otherwise, I will be happy with any ruling you would like to make on it.
Once again, my profuse apologies.
I have been dealing with a personal situation since mid-May, and it has often left me with little motivation to do anything, especially if it involves mental effort. It is not something that I am comfortable discussing on the boards yet.
I did not want the game to have a third GM in such a short time, so I have tried to muddle through, with varying success.
Next Wednesday, I am headed to GenCon. Should be returning the following Monday.
With luck, much will be resolved shortly after my return.
My hope is to move things forward a bit, allow you some time for interaction with the new characters, and then pick up the pace once I am back and settled.
By then, I will have my spiffy new PRPG hardcover, and we can discuss what we rules we wish to use going forward.
I'm jealous that you get to go to GenCon - I was laid off a bit over a month ago and am wallowing in debt and lack of income...so no fun trips for me.
Anyways, you know we're a patient lot around here and understand whatever life throws you is more important than playing a game here. Heck I still worry about Mal and hope he's doing ok dealing with whatever he's dealing with, but hold no grudge against either of you when you can't post regularly.
Wow...as a father of three, I can't imagine how difficult losing a child like that would be. My heart goes out to you and your wife. Don't worry about the game here - it'll be slow for awhile anyways during gencon and then while we try and figure out what to do with converting characters to final rules.
I do appreciate you taking the time to let us know what happened. I wish there was something we could do to help. Anyways, take care. Maybe Kara will have a song for you when you get back.
Something for us to think about:
Will we be "upgrading" to the final PFRPG rules?
My feeling is that we should, and that we should do it when the characters reach level 2, for ease of conversion. But I am certainly open to input from everyone. Do you all have a copy of the rules?
Speaking of levelling, you should now each be at 465 xp (265 from Mal, 200 for the scorpions and stirges). For simplicity's sake, Thadeous and Azten are at the same amount.

Upgrading at second level is a good idea. It will make the transition go more smoothly. I have the new rules.

I'd just as soon all upgrade right now, unless there's something that would break the way your character is currently built. For instance, if I were to try to get that goat back to camp using my bard song the whole way again, I wouldn't be able to with the final rules, but I'm ok with that.
Anyways, everyone has access to the final rules via Paizo's Game Reference Document. I've already converted Kara with it, it was quick and easy.
Hello? Anyone here?
Here for today. I'm thinking about heading for Eldritch Knight using Arcane Bloodline sorcer for the spells needed. Given, I could begin to craft the very items I am so dangerously curious about, even casting in armor thanks to the Arcane Armor Training/Mastery feats.
This all boils down to being a paladin of Sarenrae who uses magic both arcane and divine to protect people. I am also considering the Celestial bloodline, but am leaning toward Arcane for role-play reasons.
Thoughts?
Ps:I will be able to post more next week(Monday most likely), as I am on vacation and have little internet access. Thank you for your patience.
is this pbp dead, or will it start again sometime soon?!
While I have hopes of it reviving soon, I'm not holding my breath. Between the original DM going MIA (twice) and now Valkeryie disappearing completely from the boards, I don't know if there's enough to keep it going. I certainly can't do it all with Kara alone - other people need to step up and post more often.
It's sad, because this has been my favorite PbP that I've ever been involved with, at least at first. I would like nothing more than for everyone to come back and rekindle some of that energy we started with.
Hey all, like I said before, I am tied up most of next week.
If we get a response from at least one of our absent friends, I will try to get things going again around the 25th or so.
I would suggest that Ikethru continue regardless, as you will need the healer.
I really hope Val comes back, because she's so much fun to play with and does amazing roleplaying, but you would DMPC her until then though, just to keep things moving?
