You guys can chat in here, discuss backgrounds, flush out your pc's, OOC talks, anything you want.
Sweet. Should have my back story up in a couple hours.
First time wizard, so any advice welcome.
Utility spells are great in all situations, including combat.
Here's the best guide I have found to being a wizard.
Treantmonks Guide to Pathfinder Wizards: Being a God
yes i have read that one, i only chose earth because it seemed to go with being a dwarf.
Thorgrund reporting for duty.
Backstory coming soon. Thanks for the opportunity, A.T.!
No Problem! I once played a Dwarven Ranger with a musket in an all dwarves campaign. I enjoyed the concept, so I'm happy to run one.
A little backstory that I've come up with is that you guys like to hang out at a pub named Tully's, which is currently owned and run by Janderhoff 's Lord Commander(Ret.) Magmar Brungrym, with his legendary Warhammer, DawnBringer hanging on the wall behind the bar.
Oh good. Now I know where to end my back story.
Ok, since I finally named my character, here is the new link to Boshak Heuskaurit. If you previously looked at him, I have since switched out bluff for perception (I figured it would be good if I could find traps), switched up his spells, and have part of the first draft of his background.
Back story added. Will also change it later to add a connection to Tully's.
Quick question, A.T.:
I know you plan to use armor as DR, but do you still plan on using the Defense rules in UC? That bit was mentioned in the last Recruitment thread.
I should have most of Thorgrund finished soon. BTW I went with average gold for him.
I haven't read through that section. I do have Basic Defense Bonus, though, which I did note in the PC gen. You are a ranger, so you get +1 every level.
Updated Legnar's background and fixed his stats.
You have multiple sets of stats... and you still have your armor bonus going to ac, not dr.

Fixing. I'm at work sans books. Bits at a time.
AT can you add us to the campaign so we can get to it from our campaign tab?
I will when i make it
Out of town until Monday. Won't have internet until then.
Ok, change in plans. I'll only be gone most of today. So let's get this party started.
Ok. I will post something in about eight to twelve hours. Brain terminating for the day, It's almost 1AM here in Tokyo.
Just wanting to make sure my familiar is calculated correctly if anyone knows better than i?
All completed characters can now post in the gameplay thread. You are highly encouraged to post under your characters alias only in there.
FYI- I am out of town sans books until tomorrow, so Thorgrundwon't be completed until then. Background is up.
Understood. As long as the pc is completed by then, you can hop on in now.

Thanks! I'll try to finish what I can via the PFSRD.

Hello all! Your friendly neighborhood cleric reporting for duty! I will have an alias and such up in a little while. Would have had it sooner, but I was out of town this weekend.
I haven't had a chance to look at everyone's builds and such. Do we have all the necessary skill covered? Are there any places we are weak that we should keep in mind or out right fix?
Glad for the opportunity to play with y'all! Looking forward to starting this game!
Getting lonely at the table guys!

@Roidrage: Hey! Arik hung up his crowbar and grew out his beard. He makes a decent living guarding a certain night club in Aradina now :) I also look forward to playing with you again!
@Everyone else: The next post is the character I will be playing with you all. Please let me know if I missed anything that a responsible cleric would have/do. Thanks!
Tyg is a young dwarf. He has recently entered the clergy of Trudd after failing as an apprentice to a notable blacksmith. Tyg was a decent worker, but his hot temper and wandering mind made him ill suited for such detail oriented work.
Without work, Tyg's family wondered what future he could have other than guarding the Sky Citadel from the Lamia and other fould creatures. His father told him the story of Trudd, Torag's young son of immense strength who was trusted with defending the halls of his father when the Lord of Dwarves was away.
Tyg was infatuated with the mighty, young, dwarf god and immediately devoted his life to the service of the minor deity. In return, Tyg learned a measure of discipline, some martial skill, and, most importantly, the rewarding responsibility of showing strength for those who cannot stand alone.
You both can join the table in the gameplay thread.
Ok, sorry I haven't posted in the game play yet. I've wanted to finish my background first. It is nearly completed.
A.T. I need you to check out my background. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get him back to Janderhoff. Do you have any suggestions?
I'll read it tonight. busy day at work, and then have to about 3 hours of traveling tonight to pay a bill(left the bill at the wife's house...)
Holy Crap! You can put spoilers in your Racial/Class signature field? I might have to try it...
Also, I hope nobody minds the southern accent I've given Legnar. I can never get the dwarvish accent right and on the first type trough it sounded more southern, and I got a kick out of it, so I left it as southern.

I didn't read the BG, but you could always have joined a caravan and decided to say here for a while. it's cliche but it works.
Homesickness. Or a message from family could pull you back. Almost to the wifes house.
Now that is a background! Ok, you say that you were laughed out of Tully's 30+ years ago. This still bothers you to this day. And one day, you receive a message from Magmar.
Dear Boshak,
I have heard of your growing fame, and would like to allow you a second chance to regain your honor here at Tully's. While that is more than enough for you to come hither, I am sure, I will also cover your bed and board each night you perform here, as is Tradition. And I can line you up with some work during the day, if you are interested.
~Magmar Brungrym
Lord Commander(Ret.)
Proprietor of Tully's Pub and Inne
P.S. Day Job might be worthy of an Ode.
Ok, my finished background is now up. I just need to finish appearance and personality, but those are less important.
Also, I wasn't quite so sure about the Basic Defense Bonus. Is my AC essentially 11 right now then?
That is correct. Levels 2, 3, and 4 will gain you +1 to your AC. If you have a shield, it goes towards your AC. The leather armor grants you 2dr/(Adamantine or magic). Also, you can go ahead and join the table in the Gameplay thread.
Looks like the only one we are waiting for is Roidrage. Looks like he put together an alias for his dwarf bard, but he hasn't posted anywhere since Tuesday.
Yeah, I was just about to type up a post in the gameplay thread.
No problem. I understand. If your pc is complete, go join the rest at the table.
To know how Korvosa and Janderhoff lie in relation to each other, distance and time taken to travel, and if there are any cities in between.
I don't know about the cities personally, but to save time, I'm going to assume the knowledge roll tells my character everything else.
143 miles
8 days and 8 hours travel time, at 20ft speed.
No cities, but 58 miles into the trip, you will arrive to the small town of Harse, known as the live stock capital of the region.
Korvosa is a LN City, with a corrupt Draconian legal system.
I am so, so sorry guys. I really did want to play this, and I loved my character and where this was all going. I just don't have the motivation to do a play by post. I wish you all luck on your adventures, and may Torag's blessing be upon you all.
Im just waiting for a dm update

Same here
