Hey guys, just a heads-up:
Thursday morning I'm hopping a plane from Charlotte to Dallas. My youngest male cousin is getting married on Saturday so I'll be out-of-town visiting relatives and such. I'm due to return Sunday afternoon.
I have no idea what my free time is going to look like while I'm gone, but I'll try to make replies from my hotel room if time permits — no promises though. :)

Jason: Since this is your first time leveling-up Darvesch with us, just wanted to give you a heads-up on a few things...
Please list in this thread any changes and additions that you make to Darvesch. i.e. if you add a skill point to a skill, note that you gave it a point. If you get a new feat or class feature then list it, etc.
The reason for this is that it makes it MUCH easier for me to proof the updates and to keep the Party Matrix and ShortKeys current and accurate.
ALSO, when we level, that counts as if you just repeated your last 8-hours of rest and made the same spell selections, etc. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
So, all my abilities and spell refresh, as if I rested?
Edit: Also, I count my XP total to be 34,980...
For the sake of the GM's sanity, we don't keep individual XP tallies. Darv got comped about 80 xp when he started. ;)

Alright, well I may slow down the achievement bonuses to once every 2000 posts from here on out, but we'll see. :)
For 6000-posts, I've decided that thru your time spent together, and the trials that everyone has been thru, all of you would have learned a bit from one another and figured out natural extensions/applications of your existing knowledge.
Each of you should note a "6K" skill point on your sheets as follows:
- A: +1 to K: Arcana
- D: +1 to K: Engineering
- L: +1 to K: Religion
- M: +1 to K: Dungeoneering
- P: +1 to K: History
Note that the skill matrix has already been updated to reflect this.
Looks like it's time for some more of that sweet, sweet XP!

Phew! It took all day but the Tracking List / Table of Contents is up-to-date again!
Hey guys, I added a new function on the wiki for you to use on your tracking sheets if you like. It should make it a bit easier to keep track of special abilities and charged items:
Hey guys, check out the cool new features at the top of the PbP pages! — lots of good stuff all linked together now! As time permits, I'll update the campaign into tab with the sort of content that is currently atop the Table of Contents/Tracking List. That should make it a bit faster to find such info without having to wait for 300+ bookmarks to load. :)
Note: If you use RSS feeds to keep abreast of the game, you'll want to update your feeds, otherwise the new headers may not appear: [ Gameplay | Discussion ]
Tomorrow I shall begin posting with Alis and Darv reaching Lureene's group. So if either of you want to add any in-character commentary before then, feel free. If not, I'll just rock on with it in the morning as time allows. :)
BTW, have I mentioned yet how much I'm loving the new forum updates for campaigns? Because I REALLY love them. Especially the fact that I can rename the campaigns and link both this and the Side-Trek to the same discussion thread! Yep, Gary added the feature I requested already! :D
Well, he knows that it's at least part fiendish, although it's not an outsider per se. Aberration or Evil Outsider seem like the best best though. (He didn't roll high enough on one of his checks to tell for certain.)
Extra class skill: Having survived many horrors solely by relying upon one another, you have picked up on some of the expertise of those with whom you have closely associated. You may add one skill to your list of class skills, so long as one other PC or NPC with whom you have closely associated, has at least 5 ranks in that same skill in order to train you.
.
.
Following is the list of skills in which various party members can offer training:
- Alis:
Acrobatics, Bluff, Diplomacy, Perform (sing), Sense Motive, Stealth
- Darvesch:
Intimidate, Knowledge (arcana, dungeoneering, planes, religion), Sense Motive, Stealth, Survival
- Lureene:
Knowledge (planes), Spellcraft
- Malandraenas:
Acrobatics, Knowledge (nature), Spellcraft, Stealth, Survival
- Priyya:
Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (religion), Sense Motive, Stealth
- Sasha:
Acrobatics, Climb, Handle Animal, Stealth, Survival
I'll post XP once we've regrouped at Aycenia's.
Throughout your travels across Reaver's Shiv, Alis was always near the forefront keeping watch for traps even as Mal, Sasha, and Darvesch scouted for traps. She watched with great interest as they would prepare campsites, wrinkled her nose as they would dress kills, and grumble as they pointed out dangers that were obvious to each of them.
While she is still more at home navigating a political mine field than getting along in the wilderness, you've noticed that her complaining has steadily decreased these past few days. Evidently the perceptive and inquisitive princess has picked up on more than a few tricks of woodlore during her brief stay on Reaver's Shiv.
Alternatively...
If you can't find any cross-class skills that you'd really like to have as class skills, you may instead gain 1 skill point of additional training from someone else provided you have 2 or fewer skill points in that skill.
After constant badgering from both Alis and Sasha about her lack of climbing skills, Lureene, who is fed up with them, challenges both Alis and Sasha to a climbing contest. The spot is chosen; at the botom of the ravine where Alis' retinue was first ambushed by the giant cannibals.
The result were predictable: Lureene lost, and lost badly. But she is encouraged by the words of encouragement showing her muscle strength in her shoulders has improved, which has helped her climbing skill.
Anyone able to offer Craft (weapons) or Craft (armour) to Darvesch?
Nope. It doesn't look like anyone in the party has even in a single point in any of the craft skills, let alone 5.
Sasha has a single point in Craft: Pioneering, but that's not enough to train anyone on. Mind you, I don't think anyone but her has done one iota of crafting while on Reaver's Shiv (let alone making weapons and armor), so I'm not sure how it could have plausibly been picked-up on anyway. ;)
Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm ALMOST finished with the new character sheet template and database for tabletop games. This has been nothing short of a monumental project, but I think that it will all be worth it. If nothing else, the layout and usefulness of the information presented is greatly improved.
The only thing I have left to do at this point is move over the inventory/HP tracking page from my old database. At some point (if I get really ambitious) then I might try to separate the templates themselves into another file so that they can be modified in one spot and used for any/all characters.
Here's hoping I can wrap it up this weekend. I'm eager to be done with staring at Excel for 6+ hours a day! @_@

Nice! I like the fact that you put some into Diplomacy and Spellcraft to reflect interactions with the rest of the party. The points in Craft and the feat seem to reflect on him recalling his grandfather's teachings, am I right? :)
Anyway, Matrix should be up-to-date now for Alis, Darv, Lureene, and Priyya. Not sure if I'll bother leveling Mal since he hasn't really been in any scenes lately, we'll see. I'll have to ping Rob to let him know that we're close to getting off this rock and to level Amhranai. :3
2400 Captain Kinkarian
800 Ledgers from the Brine Demon
Note that I've added the items found in Captain Kinkarian's cabin to the tracking list: ledgers, locket, +1 dagger, and coffer
You're right, I didn't want to pump many points into spellcraft, partially because I wanted a good chance of failure for crafting magic items, and to show he's picked up some things from all these mages. Lol. Diplomacy shows his interactions with the group. Craft skill and feat is more of a "I had it all along, I just remembered how" thing, recalling his grandfather's teachings.
And one question, the DC for making my axe +1 is?
OK so here's what I was able to come up with from the PRD...
.
.
.
.
- The DC to create a magic item is 5 + the caster level for the item.
- The DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet.
- Creating an item requires 8 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof), with a minimum of at least 8 hours.
- This process can be accelerated to 4 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof) by increasing the DC to create the item by +5.
- Creating a magic weapon has a special prerequisite: The creator's caster level must be at least three times the enhancement bonus of the weapon. If an item has both an enhancement bonus and a special ability, the higher of the two caster level requirements must be met.
So the caster level for a +1 Enhancement bonus would be 3. This means:
Spellcraft DC 8: 2 days
Spellcraft DC 13: 1 day
(If you roll high enough, I'll let you go with the faster rate.)
Since selling a item nets 50% of it's market value and crafting something costs 50% of it's market value, we can just assume that Darvesch will be able to recycle the +1 enhancement bonus on the mithril hook we found in the Red Mountain Devil's lair.
I can take 10 on that roll, can't I?
Yep, feel free to take 10.

Greetings all! Just joined the game...looking forward to what will unfold in the posts to come.
Yay, Victoria's here! PAR-TAY! ^_^
Welcome Tyralor!
I am sure you will have as much fun as I am having with Lureene (and Grak) here, as we delve into the mysteries of the universe, vanquish evil forces, and even possibly do some shopping, he he.
Aye and as everyone who is IN the know knows... when going shopping with Alis, one takes their life in their own hands.
