I can't wait to get started!
Faratim here and ready to go!
Lani checking in and getting building
I honestly hadn't expected this, but then again the best games so far were games I didn't expect to get into :)
Cheers!
"Hellfire. Looks like I'm stuck now."
;) This should be fun.
First question: How are we doing for our combat niches, folks? My concept's flexible enough that I can play tank or heavy hitter as necessary, but I have to make some feat/attribute choices now: Either Power Attack and Furious Focus, or Combat Reflexes and Bodyguard.
For reference, hitting things harder is going to require somewhat less tight tactics - if I start focusing on bodyguard and whatnot, I'll need to be following people around to make sure I can cover them at need. It's also less of a multiple ability drain on me. On the other hand, paladins have this whole thing about protecting their companions.
On a more RP-related note: Zale fully intends to inspire you lot of brigands and vagabonds to join the side of light and goodness. Wish him luck.
EDIT: Y'know what? I'm being crazy. Somehow, I'd convinced myself that the Bodyguard tree required a higher Dex for some reason, but it totally doesn't. Heck with it, I'm doing both! Power Attack first, Bodyguard later.
Glad to see everyone's checked in! Is everyone ready for me to review their character's crunch?
Should be, should be. I've probably forgotten a detail or two, though - that always seems to be the way.
I don't really feel like reviewing everything too closely, so please be honest with your character sheets. :)
First gameplay thread is up. Let's get this party started!
The last two days have been silly hot here and I have spent my time away from my PC so Lani isn't done yet.
As far as combat goes, Lani doesn't hit hard but she strikes true and the idea for her is to take people down, literally.
It's too bad that weapon finesse only works for trip, disarm and sunder maneuvers now I have to get both that, in order to hit on attacks, and agile maneuvers, in order to hit with things like grapple and dirty trick.
As for inspiring to join light and goodness, Lani is Lawful Neutral and all about enjoying life while pushing yourself. She just goes with the flow, as long as it doesn't contradict her ideas or is overly evil.
Okay...apparently, Zale's first decision is to get between people and weapons. I think maybe my instinct was off to give him Power Attack first instead of Bodyguard. Changing that one more time! (I swear, I'm solid now =P)
Hah - just read through your background, Alain. I chuckled out loud at the chickens walking the plank.
Lani is done now.
I still hate how I'll need two feats to actually be any good in melee :S
I'm glad I won't be grappling for quite a few levels though, means I can first get other feats before having to get Agile Maneuvers.
I'll probably multiclass into Lore Warden fighter at some point by the way, to get my feat problem sorted as that normally wouldn't be handled till somewhere level 9-12.
I originally wasn't sure how to handle it exactly but I made the Lore Warden sort of mandatory as I need Combat Expertise but forgot to get my Int to 13. It's rather stupid of me :)

I see what you did there. Punny.

Thanks' for the assist. I'm not blowing you off by ignoring it but Alain really does think his fathers name is going to carry some weight. He'll probably grow some common sense very quickly (at least I hope so, he's pretty irritating right now). Hopefully the GM won't beat him to death in the process!
Oh, no worries. I and Zale both fully expect him to get ignored a good portion of the time. He's a paladin on a pirate ship, it's practically the job description.
Just an FYI, I am getting ready to leave for camp. If I have cell service, I should be able to post tonight. Otherwise, feel free to bot for me. Faratim can just take WOrk Dilligently and Sleep actions till I get back on Wednesday evening.
Sorry everyone. We have been blitzed by rain and we came in this morning to a flooded office. I'll be updating the game tomorrow. Stay tuned!
No problem, bossman.
We still alive?
Yes. My computer had to have its logic board replaced. I am getting it back only possession at 10:30 today, apparently.
Life has conspired against our game, but we shall prevail!
Sorry for my absence, I had cell service while camping, but the fishing was so good I didn't take the time to post! And last night, Paizo was down so I couldn't post when I got home. But I am back now!
Ugh. Replacing computer bits is never fun. Hope that went alright for you.
I hope not
In any case, I'm off till Monday
Welp, I'm headed out of town for the weekend as well. I should be able to check in, in a spotty fashion, but unfortunately, no guarantees. Here's hoping we can still sail this thing, me hearties.
Well. Unless there's been some strange fluke, I guess we're dead in the water (pun intended). Sad, but so it goes. If you happen to check in, Cello, and this is the case, I'd appreciate it if you could put the game into inactive status.
