That's perfectly fine actually, I should have listed it before since I recently got my hands on a copy, so by all means...of course, this also applies for Gaius & Mortimer.

How does spells work in your world? Do clerics and other divine spellcasters have access to the complete spell lists? Or do you require some sort of feat, quests, special prayers taught by rare monestary etc?


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

Updated my profile with spells and stats for my animal companion, so I should be ready to go.

I like the party as well, and can't wait to get started!

Ill take that as a "yes choose spells as if you have complete access to the spell compendium".

Had a devil of a time getting onto the Paizo boards yesterday, dunno if I was the only one...but yes...feel free to use any spells you have access to from the compendium.

First game post will be up late Sunday/or Monday AM...EST.

Awesome! Looking forward to it...


Male Human Fighter 4/Rogue 2

Tomorrow is likely my last day of posting for a week. This will give me something to look forward to and I will find myself wondering what I am missing...


Male Human-ish Commoner 2/ Monk 5/ Rogue 2

I too had much difficulties about getting on the boards here. First part of the day site was down. Brief two hour window or so then message boards were down till lat in the day.


A bit more editting on my sheet. Replacing Arcane Consumption with Still Spell. The requirement for Arcane Consumption is 6th caster level.


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

Archivist:

I have a house-rule request. As you know, I'm playing a Stormlord, which has a number of abilities that utilize/affect javelins. Of course, I am also playing a druid, which for some unfathomable reason does not get proficiency in javelins. Druids do have proficiency in spears and shortspears (javelin-like weapons, to my mind), however. What this means is I have to take the Simple Weapon Proficiency feat just to get proficiency in javelins, to make the most of my chosen PrC. But I really have no desire to use any other simple weapons.

So any chance of getting a house-rule that druids get proficiency in javelins too, thus allowing me to choose a more useful feat?

I'm not trying to get get around the rules (well, I am) but it seems logical to me that druids should have proficiency in javelins too, and it seems like a waste of a feat just to get proficiency in one weapon.

I eagerly await your ruling. :)
If you say no, I'll spend the feat and the character stays the same. Either way, looking forward to the game!


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

Sorry to keep making changes and requests, but I just found a variant druid in Dragon #328, the Storm Druid, that would certainly fit my concept even better.
Do you have that issue, and can I make the change? If you don't have it, I can certainly give you the details. Basically, I would lose animal companion, wild empathy, woodland stride, trackless step, and wild shape, and gain some storm/wind abilities instead. Let me know if you want/need more specific details.

Once again, I understand if you don't want changes this close to starting. But I just found this while looking through old issues, and we haven't started yet, so I thought I'd give it a try. Let me know what you think.
Thanks.


Imbolc Talorcan wrote:

No worries. I checked it out and I think it's fine...certainly suits your concept well. Also, you can use the Javelin...I don't really see why it's excluded.

Game post will be up in a couple of hours, my apologies for the delay...it's been a busy morning.


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

Cool! Thanks a lot. I'll make the changes ASAP.

FYI, I'm in Europe, 6 hours ahead of EST, so that may make my posts come later (or earlier) than everyone else's. Hope it won't be a problem. (And it's also why I'm going to go to bed now and change up the character tomorrow morning.)

Bring on the first game post! Woo!


male Human Cleric/6

Oh, how you tease. I wait in mistified mystery.

I was thinking, an easy way for that 'death sight' idea would be either a modified deathwatch spell or visions slammed forcefully into his head whenever you wanted.

Edit: I prefer the second method as then you don't have to make up side quests on the spot and can manipulate the plot (for my character) as directly as you want.

Wow...many apologies for the late start. Got hit with the work/new girlfriend/family trifecta. But we're on now...here's the first post...

Linky

enjoy and hit me back here with any questions...


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

Updated my character, changes summarized below:

Spoiler:
Added new storm druid abilities
Reflex save increased to +4 (from Wind Sense)
Replaced Simple Weapon Proficiency with Point Blank Shot
Changed a couple of selected spells
Updated background to reflect loss of animal companion ability

To the game thread!


male Human Cleric/6

Nice starting set up. I like it.

(Edit: Changed my characters age. Added 3 years to make it more plausible with the older sister with almost grown kid.)


male Human Cleric/6

You people. Post more.
Your making me look like I obsessively hover over these boards waiting to decend at the first hint of a post. Then again it might be true. But in either case: post more.


Male Human (Northerlander) Storm Druid 5/Stormlord 1

You're not the only one obsessively hovering over the boards. :)
But this is my first pbp game, so I'm still trying to find my feet, as it were. But I'll try to post more. That said, I've been waiting for a little more info from the Archivist to react to.
Maybe things'll pick up after Thanksgiving...

For ArchLich:

Spoiler:
I'm holding the slot for you until Sunday. Please confirm if you're in.

My first PbP too. Eager beaver and all. It took me the first day or so to realize "Oh yeah its thanksgiving in the States". Being from Canada we had our Thanks Giving on Oct 8th.

I think its kind of funny that the spell casters are sitting in a room being excluded from the party. But the more pyshically inclined (jock like) are in the party. Spellcasting geeks unite! Maybe I will have my character break out a game of "Bureaucrats & Beancounters" TM.


Male Human-ish Commoner 2/ Monk 5/ Rogue 2

Wow.

Only 3 out of 6 people have made a post in the last week.

Sovereign Court

Male Mostly Human

And none of them were the Archivist. Do you think he's taking a long Thanksgiving holiday or......[gulp!]

I say the spellcasters crash the party. All in favor of charming the guests say: "Aye."

All opposed will be fireballed.

Great. Now you've got me thinking "What if..." thoughts.

Let's hope its nothing more than a computer failure, holiday schedules or some such.

I also hope that he's back soon :-)

I've been looking forward to starting this all last week.

Male Human Expert 3/Cleric 3

Is there any way to email the Archivist through the site. I've been looking but haven't found one.


Hey peiple! My apologies and more for dropping away w/o notice. Unfortunately I won't be able too get this adventure underway...real life is kicking my arse hard. sorry guys.

Sovereign Court

Male Mostly Human

Hey, thanks for dropping in and letting us know. And if you ever find the time to pick it up again, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be willing to jump back in. It sounded like a really interesting setting and game.

Good luck with things and take care.

Scarab Sages

Male Human Expert 3/Cleric 3

Sorry to hear it :-(

If you can pick it up again sometime, I'll be ready as well.


Male Human-ish Commoner 2/ Monk 5/ Rogue 2

I will also like to pick this up in the future. I like my character :)

Dark Archive

Just give us a buzz. I'm kinda regular here at the boards now.


I do understand. Let us know when things more or less get back to "normal".
