<p>Without this option there is a risk of ending up either:

- losing XP that one is happy to pay for, for lack of a character attached to the Training Time

- OR ending up with a character that has a confused and unappealing RP theme because the race / name / whatever else doesn't fit the eventual concept</p>
<p>I can understand the concern. Time-in-game is the primary determinant of progress, so delaying character creation is unappealing.

Remember that crafting, settlement building, warfare, banditry, and most other player activities do not generate coin. They simply move coin between players. So while your paradigm shift is interesting in terms of an individual character acquiring coin, it doesn't make much sense as a coin font for the game as a whole.</p>
<p>The basic fonts are:
<br />
1 direct coin drops
<br />
2 drops of items sellable to NPCs for cash (potentially via some layer of processing or trade but remember it doesn't generate new coin until it's sold to an NPC)
<br />
3 some equivalent to quest rewards (kill 10 rats, and complex versions thereof)
<br />
4 some variation of insurance</p>
<p>I don't particularly prefer options 2 & 3 over option 1. They amount to the same thing, you're just making the player jump through hoops in the name of verisimilitude. Which is fine if the hoops are fun, but often they're not, and they typically don't encourage meaningful player interaction.</p>

<p>Ameiko's voice is clear as she declaims from memory the words of her ancestor, transported across the years in ink and parchment.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">The Letter wrote:</div><blockquote><p>My son, my heir. You know now that I have kept secrets from you. You were always a perceptive son, and while you may not understand my reasons for secrecy, I hope that you realise it was necessary. Know that I was not angry with you for opening the warding box - I was angry with myself for withholding the truth from you and forcing you to seek out what I should have given you. The words I spoke to you were from anger with myself, and it shames me to think of them now. I write this note as an apology, and to beg you to leave these secrets to history.</p>
<p>The next few days will be the most important I have faced in many years. If our family's enemies have, as I hope, forgotten us, I shall reunite with you and your wife, and I shall reveal the truth to you. But if they still seek the contents of the warding box, I fear that I may not speak to you again. The box holds our family's greatest treasure, so I have returned it to Kortun's care, and it shall remain hidden in the secret third vault under Brinewall Castle - obscured from our enemies, I hope and pray. I will not grant our foes the satisfaction of killing me themselves - if it comes to it let my death, by my own hand, be my final act to protect you, so that our enemies believe our line ended.</p>
<p>I have instructed Tsutami to protect you, and to deliver this letter to you only if I fail to return. If I can, I will reveal all to you myself. If I cannot, this final missive from a father to a son must suffice as an apology in place of an explanation, and you must flee to the south and never return here to Brinewall. If our enemies find what I have hidden, there will be nothing for you. If they do not, they will lie in wait here forever for your return.</p>
<p>I hope to see you again soon, my son. But my heart tells me I will not. I am sorry to have failed you. But I am proud of you, and I know you will survive this old man's shame and make a brave, bright life wherever you settle. You are strong, and must remain so. For if you are reading this and I am gone, know that our enemies will never stop searching for you. That is why, even in this letter entrusted to my most faithful servant, I cannot reveal the full truth."</blockquote><p>Ameiko's trained bardic voice ceases, and she looks at you to gauge the effect of her words.INTERIOR: The Rusty Dragon.

<p>What're we doing about equipment - did I miss that in the original post? </p>
<p>Brief background
<br />
————————
<br />
Gimlett is the eldest daughter of the Kazzore's, a large well-to-do dwarven family. Their clan's wealth comes from mining and jewel-crafting, and that is where most of her many brothers, sisters, and cousins ply their trade. But every family has those born with wanderlust, or a calling to adventure, and Gimlett has been travelling beyond the family mines for many years now. Some of her younger cousins look up to her, as she revered her heroic Uncle Baddok, and want to follow in her footsteps. Whether as rangers, or as clerics, paladins, or rogues only time will tell.</p>
<p>And that's where the rest of my characters will come from if/when Gimlett meets a untimely demise!</p>Here is the level one stat block for Gimlett Kazzore, dwarf ranger. I'll get her up to level 9 over the next few hours.
What're we doing about equipment - did I miss that in the original post?
Brief background
----------------
Gimlett is the eldest daughter of the Kazzore's, a large well-to-do dwarven family. Their clan's wealth comes from mining and jewel-crafting, and that is where most of her many brothers, sisters, and cousins ply their trade. But every family has those born with...Gimlett Kazzore (alias of Will Cooper, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16)2011-12-06T04:37:57ZRe: Forums: Recruitment: Do you kids like Tomb of Horrors?Art (alias of Will Cooper, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16)https://paizo.com/campaigns/ItsTombOfHorrors/recruiting#352011-12-06T00:34:39Z2011-12-06T00:34:39Z<div class="messageboard-quotee">Elizaveta Vladimira wrote:</div><blockquote> I want a party of 5, and we have 1 person with a statted character, so go ahead. </blockquote><p>Sweet, I'll break out hero labs this afternoon then :)Elizaveta Vladimira wrote:I want a party of 5, and we have 1 person with a statted character, so go ahead.

<p>1 - Arakan / Irivis use their high bluff skills to ramp up tension between the elves and the human/mul warriors. Convince our guards that the ritual will hurt them too.</p>
<p>2 - Around twilight, attack one/two of the guards in some ranged sneaky way (Irivis, Jareen - looking at you) and convince them it's the ritual starting early, and starting to kill them.</p>
<p>3 - Best case is our guards head off to stop the ritual. Anyway, we then set fire to the bush-gate. It burns quickly, and we help it by fanning the flames and smoke outwards. We try to spread burning / exploding goo-filled branches outwards too (thinking Project Object, or Concussive Blow from Call, may be other options).</p>
<p>4 - Now we have twilight, smoke, scattered small fires, and an escalating battle between the elves and the human/mul warriors. We break out and head straight to the warrior's camp. </p>
<p>5 - We continue to do whatever we can to increase the confusion - summons, illusions, bluffs and trickery. Anything to keep the two groups fighting.</p>
<p>6 - We grab supplies and crodlus, and we head north while everyone is still fighting behind us.</p>
<p>—</p>
<p>So that's my suggestion. I'm sure the group can improve it :)</p>
<p>I'd like to be able to stop the ritual, but I think it's too risky, and hopefully the human/mul warrior team will win and put a stop to it anyway.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if we have means to start a fire. I hope out of the 15 NPCs here with us that one of them will have the Psionic Spark wild talent.</p>OK, here is what I think we should do.

<p>[number of enemies] human and mul warriors mounted on crodlus, and elf runners on foot. There's maybe ten of the former and perhaps fifteen or so of the latter. There are five guards on the entrance to the tower. Of the strange veiled elves, there seem to be four of them.</p>

I'd much prefer to work collaboratively on Calla's background and have her well integrated with the story - it's what I'd do in a round-the-table campaign anyway.</p>
<p>So if her family is from Tyr, then the caravan is probably attached to either House Vordon (iron traders, still powerful), or House Ianto (former slave traders, now trying to diversify and re-brand). House Ianto probably has more scope for plot and incident. They are looking to relaunch business through 'speculative cargos'. What are Calla's family transporting on this latest trip? Does she know?</p>
<p>Rather than a stint in the Balic Legions, perhaps some incident on the most recent journey has led to the recent tension with her family? Or perhaps it's just to do with growing up... and the incident is just about to happen.</p>
<p>How does all / any of that sound?</p>
<p>Oh, and part of my reason for switching to a Balic background was the meta-gamey desire to get streetwise as a class skill. Tyr backgrounds have that too :) So she's a naif about some matters, but knows where to go in a market to get the best deals, and how to find crew, and which areas in Tyr to avoid... but inexperienced and young. She's never had the chance to make her own decisions, or set her own goals. Ingenue.</p>Hey Aubrey, that's all good.

<p>'Quick' is one of the four basic types of battlemind (the others are Harrier, Resilient, and Wild). As the name suggests, they focus on using psionics to move quicker than possible for a natural warrior. But it feels more plausible than the outright teleportation or elemental bending of the other types.</p>
<p>Longsword was what the Character Builder chose when I hit the 'auto-gear' button. No problem looking for something more thematic. At the very least it will be wooden with sharpened bone inset.</p>Cross post due to slow typing and multi-tasking :)

<p>In terms of objectives (building on Kythas' and Kystra's ideas, ranked in terms of urgency), I have:
<br />
<ul>
<br />
<li> Find water (24 hours survival, or less as we're sick)
<br />
<li> Find any other survivors from the Jenevive
<br />
<li> Find food (3-4 days survival)
<br />
<li> Build shelter
<br />
<li> Scout for threats
<br />
<li> Discover any other inhabitants of the island
<br />
<li> Investigate the circumstances of the shipwreck

<li> Get off the island and back to civilisation

<p>He hunches his shoulders deeper into his jacket and looks round, wishing he could see someone he knew.

Zoe and Jimmy have a run in with a young red court vampire, and just about escape. Knowing it will come back for revenge, they decide to break into its lair in daytime and put an end to the menace. Fortunately Zoe has recently met the wizard Parker de Montford who agrees to back them up. By luck they break in to the run-down townhouse just in time to rescue Thomas, and just too late to rescue Alex. There are more vampires than they expected and they are forced to escape, damaging the vampires, but leaving many alive. And angry.</p>

By luck they break in to the run-down townhouse just in time to rescue Thomas, and just too late to rescue Alex. There are more vampires...Jimmy G (alias of Will Cooper, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16)2011-07-17T03:05:13ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post Discussion: Ryuko's Dresden Files OOC ThreadJimmy G (alias of Will Cooper, RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16)https://paizo.com/campaigns/DMRyukosRottenAppleDFRPG/discussion#232011-07-16T10:29:26Z2011-07-16T10:29:26Z<p>1)High Concept, Trouble, Phases, Aspects. <b>Complete</b>

<p>Divine Grace (Su): At 2nd level, a paladin gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (+2) on all Saving Throws.</p>
<p>Lay On Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier (3). With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.</p>
<p>Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.</p>

-Your FF AC (at the top of the sheet) is listed as 17, but should be 19 as you never lose dex bonus to AC) It's correct in the more detailed combat section below.</p>
<p>-As far as I can tell your Fort save should be +8, not +9 (+2 Bar, +3 Ftr, +2 Con, +1 cloak).</p>
<p>-On the other hand your Reflex save should be +3 not +2 (+0 Bar, +1 Ftr, +1 Dex, +1 Cloak) It jumps to +5 during ferocity.</p>
<p>-In the section where you list combat details under ferocity your AC should jump by +2 for the Dex increase. So 21.</p>
<p>-And last, I think you have 5 more skill points to spend. It looks like you should have 42 points (24+6+4+4+4), but have only spent 37. Maybe you left out the +1 per level for being human.</p>
<p>That's all I noticed. </blockquote><p>Thanks Ithuriel - exactly the help I needed :-)
</p>
I'll make those changes. And, yay! more skill points.</p>
<p>Looking again at AC:
<br />
Base with 2hw is 17 (10 +1 DEX +6 <i>Breastplate+1</i>)
<br />
AC with 1hw/shield is 19 (+1 DEX +6 <i>Breastplate+1</i> +2 Shield)

Ferocity adds +2 DEX bonus, so 19AC and 21 AC respectively.</p>

<p><i>Ah well, life on the fabled streets of Kront. So this is what the locals consider a big town. Savages! Oh well, it's not Thesk, but this seems like a place where a man could make some silver. Maybe make himself a name too. Just please lets not get stuck here forever. </i></p>

<p><b>"Leon, Damvis head to the center of town and gather the people there as quickly as possible. You two head with me, we are heading up to the tower. The rest of you wait for the Lord and keep him safe."</b></p>
<p>The voice belongs to a large man with jet black hair, greased into place, and a set of severe eyes that look as if they have never smiled. His large frame is covered by a chain shirt and a longsword is attatched at each hip, although one looks as if it is in dire need of repair. He is well known in town as Xander Capstal, head of the local militia. He storms off towards the city gate with two strong backed young men following him. Two inept looking guards, apparently Leon and Damvis, run past you and start calling out to the surrounding people.</p>
<p><b>"Town Meeting in the center of town! Everyone to the market! The Lord Chinilvur requires everyone's presence!"</b></p>
<p></blockquote><p><i>Well now, this sounds interesting.</i> I drift along with the flow of people pressing into the marketplace. Prompted by the rumbling in my belly, I take advantage of the crowds to swipe a late breakfast from a distracted stallkeeper. I watch curiously as...
<div class="messageboard-quotee">'Alkuin' wrote:</div><blockquote><br />

Lord Chinilvur makes his appearance. He climbs the podium, which is only about two feet tall and only sets his head a little over that of the crowd. The lord of Kront is smallish in stature, much skinnier than the average resident, and height, but dons clothes much akin to that of the residents. The podium is flanked by four town militia as he ascends the podium. The men scan the crowd with scrutiny as if looking for someone in particular. After taking the podium Lord Chinilvur spares no time addressing the crowd.</p>
<p><b>“Kront residents hear me! There are reports of an attack up at the tower and the militia is currently looking into these reports. For now I request everyone who lives here in Kront to return home and wait further instruction. For those of you from outside of the walls, I want you to stay here in the center of town and wait.”</b></p>
<p>The lord turns to descend but a man, obviously a fisher as he has a long string of silver fish strung over his shoulder, calls out to him.</p>
<p><b>”Eh! Those of us from outside the walls all have family waiting for us as ‘ome. We can’t we wastin’ the day here in Kront if we expect to get them fed.”</b></p>
<p>A few yells and a general grumble from the crowd backs the man’s words of displeasure. Lord Chinilvur slowly turns, looking at the man as if he was expecting complaints, and addresses him in the sternest of tones.</p>
<p><b>”The doors of the town are already being shut so you have no other recourse. We hope once we get an idea of the situation we can re-open the gates and let you return home. There is no negotiation in this.”</b></p>
<p>The lord quickly turns and descends before any more complaints can be raised and starts off towards his home accompanied by the four militiamen. Half the crowd starts to move out of the town center while the other have turns to their neighbors to start a mass complaint. The children who were on the cart run off down a street yelling about how they will find the murderer.
<br />
</blockquote><p><i>An attack! Must be serious if they're closing the town gates. I wonder... something serious might have a serious reward attached. How can I find out more?</i> Ignoring the babbling brats, I move towards the Lord's manor. Perhaps I can find an open window, and get close enough to hear what's going on.I left the farm about a month ago, in a whirl of enthusiasm that left very little room for planning or packing.

Will I would consider switching your int and your cha. With the extra skill points you get you can use them to be just as good at diplomacy/bluff etc and still have some left over.

<p>Remember your charisma may be less but that's not what matters. Especially if you put your extra points into Gather info/diplomacy/bluff etc. </blockquote><p>That all makes sense, so I made the changes. Thanks for the suggestion.
<p>Am I right that I can sort of stay on a horse without any ranks in Ride? Just need the skill for tricky stuff?</p>
