I have updated my description, complete with backstory. I really got into writing it, so it is pretty long, and hopefully not too boring.Looks good. Just keep in mind that your communication with your Eidilon is telepathic, not verbal. Not a big deal, but it does mean that he can only communicate with you.
Yes, but it has an intelligence of 7, which means it should be capable of at least its own native language, which I would assume would be Celestial, given its origin.

True. Though intelligence doesn't necessarily mean speech. Wizard familiars have nice Int, but never gain the ability to speak. Unicorns also have an 11 Int, and have two listed languages but I wouldn't assume this to mean they can talk, just that they can understand. The question is, is an Eidilon more like a summoned creature, like a Celestial Hound or something, or is it more like an Archon. My impression would be the former.

Aw what, you can't imagine a unicorn talking like Mr. Ed? "Wwwwilllbbbber those darn adventurers are after me again..."
Okay okay, so it can understand but not speak, I think I can live with that. You're the GM so I guess I have to anyway. :-P

Well I'm glad that you're so amiable, but really I do dislike simply arbitraily impossing my will. :) But since all this means is that your friend can only talk to you... I really don't see this being a major issue. That's already one step over a familiar or an animal companion. :)
Alright, Desced, statted, and with a background. Not sure of his exact personality yet, but I'm sure that will come with RP.
Can you put out that fire now huh? The smell of burning butt flesh is starting to stink.
Looks good. I like the BG Interview. :) Now it looks like we're just waiting on Jason. I gave him directions and the link to the board, hopefully he'll be on in the next couple days. The only probalem being, I know that he's really busy. If he can't make it, I might throw in a melee character to offset since without him we have only 1 actual melee character.

Well I'm glad to hear you've become more benevolent with time. :-)
It would have been nice if the description of the eidolon was a little more clear cut, but I guess that gives more flexibility without "going against the rules", but kinda frustrating first time out. Should be interesting anyway. It will be especially interesting at 2nd level when I can share its 5 senses, I can imagine that could come in quite handy, and probably make for interesting RP. I'll go edit my background to line up with this.
Man I'm on the board finally. so where's my character?
Ummm You need to make him. :) Create an alias with his name, and choose an avatar pic that's close. Then open the profile for that alias and input all of the info for him. Use the text box for the most part. You can format the sheet using buttons or bold or italics.. just click on the 'BBCode tags you can use:' button to see how.
You can look at anyone elses character profiles to see an example.

That spreadsheet I sent you Jason on the second to last page outputs BBCode that works on this site, you can copy and paste that into your profile. It isn't as nice as it could be, but it does help a bit.
Oh would you stop volunteering me, sheesh. Next thing you're going to do is suggest to Jeff that I can add a Cavalier to the sheet by tonight. Gosh.
Hey, that's a good idea! The one I'm using has old Cavalier information on it, abilities that they no longer have or that have changed names, and it doesn't automatically progress my mount like it should. If you could get on that, that'd be great.
OK, not really, I managed to add in support for all that stuff, and am just ignoring the old abilities that no longer apply, but it's always good volunteering people for things.
Well I was going to invite him but I couldn't find his address. I GUESS I can make room for one more. :) Whoever can, feel free to give him the address for this thread and other info he needs. I'll check again to see if I can track down his email.
And send his email to me so I can add it to the mailing list.
Soooo we going to set a start date? or at least kick around a date or two when we can all be around to get things going?
probably should look in on a thread of one of these games in progress as i haven't yet.... think one of them is buried in an e-mail or something somewhere but am getting an itchy bow finger. think i need to shoot something.... if nothing else some fresh venison would taste good!
kk is my random ramble for da day
I did send a link to another game that I'm running. But really you can just open the Play by Post grouping in the boards and there are hundreds of them going on. Just don't look at my other Kingmaker thread as it's already going and I don't want you to spoil any surprises.
As for a date to start, it really just depends on Jason and now Chris getting their characters ready. I'm just as axious to start as you are. :)
Yup that nice.... was just reading the start of a couple campaigns. is pretty cool just makes me want to get started even more. Definatly makes the job of game master a bit more chalanging on the writing side.
hmmm guess i'll go over my character again... read some game manual... make up a random character cause i am bored...
am between games, gave up the time sink called evercrack or quest about 6 months ago now. still haven't found another game to take its place or the fraction of time that i spent that i really have to spend if ya know what i mean.
I guess I could start with the people who are ready and bring the other two in after when they're ready...What say y'all?
Fine by me, we have 4 characters ready to go. I see from other campaigns on the boards here that this can go pretty slowly, so somehow I don't think if it takes the other two a few days to get ready it will be all that big of a deal.
I am all for starting off.. Just give the word. o and for dice roll what are we using. there was a web site that some of the other games were using just wondering.
This forum has dice rolling abilities, like if I wanted to attack I'd type in:
To Hit:<dice>1d20 + 0; 1d20 + 0</dice>
For damage:
<dice>1d6 + 2; 1d6 + 1</dice>
Make sure to use a ;
<> are for example again, because if I [] it will evaluate it like this:
To Hit:
For damage:
Ok, I'll start up and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully the others catch up quickly.
As for rolling, yes, please use the online one. A handy tip... You can input the code, then hit the 'preview' button. You'll see your result in the post. You can then use that to write the rest of your post. In fact, it will stay the same even if you keep previewing. So you can...
roll to hit... preview
roll to confirm crit... preview
roll damage... submit.
Please remember to not describe any damage result. Roll it, but don't describe it. I'll do that when I post whether you hit or not.
Also note that the dice code can handle multiple dice types and additions. So you can do.. 1d8+5+1d6 or something.
HERE is the IC thread.
Okay, then what can we assume so far? Are we all together already, or are we each alone? What's the current environment? Has there been any action yet on the road to this point, or has it been a long, boring walk?
If jack or some one could enter my charater onto the thread. that would be sooo help ful. I got slamed hard by this GI bug. Even went into the er this morning around 0300.
To get your stats up on the site I will need both your character sheet, if you changed it (if not I still have the spreadsheet I sent you), and I will need your login to the forum.
PLEASE don't give me your login here, you can email me directly if you want me to do that. I will then suggest you change your password when I'm done. If like me you use a kind of "global" password on a bunch of sites, I suggest you change that before sending it to me.

Good questions. The answer is, you all met in Restov and have been traveling down to Oleg's together. It's about 100 miles between the two and it's been pretty uneventful. You are nearly to the trading post. The terrain is mostly grassy plains and hills.
Aaaaannnd Go! :)
<Jack> I've added the profile with stats and skills. I will leave the character's name and description up to Jason.
I rounded out the character a bit, so he doesn't have a -3 Cha modifier anymore, and actually gains a +1 dex mod, not that it effects AC due to the armor, but it helps out on Initiative, CMD, and other places.
Hey all... sorry it took me so long to get on board but... here I am.
You may commence with your rejoicing now.
Ummmm Yeay? :)
You know whatcha wanna play?
In case you're wondering, we have a Summoner, a Fighter, a Ranger/Arcane Archer, a Cleric, and a Cavalier. So we really don't need any more melee classes. Some Full Arcane or a highly skilled character would be good.

hurray
Was thinking we were waiting on one more to join in before hitting the trading post. but if he a "couple days" behind due to whatever would be cool to get into trading post as soon as can.
I would assume that since we have traveled together that we have at least a bit of familiarity with each others background unless someone is not very forthcoming when walking together all day and camping each night like 4 days and 100 miles? We go slow because some of us be walkers :)
