Character creation guidlines:
Level 2
15 point buy
1000 gp to buy equipment and magic items.
Please feel free to ask any questions at all.
Strict. But that's PFS guidelines, right?
More or less. It won't be Pathfinder Society game, so there's no faction goals and such.
Also, no traits. Sorry.
Yay! I'm away from my books at the moment, but I will get creating tomorrow.
How/where would you like the character sheets?
I'd like the character sheets in your alias account profile. Please let me know if you need help creating an alias.
Also, I think 15 points is indeed too strict. Please generate your ability scores with 20 point-buy instead.

As much as it pains me after waiting in the PBP queue for so long, I should probably bow out of this one before I become the guy who's holding everybody else up. I no longer have slack time at work and won't again for several months. Thanks for keeping me in mind, and I was really looking forward to it, but I hope you guys and whoever's top of the queue will have a great time.
No problem, Charlie. I'll put you at the bottom of the wait list. Your next slot will open up in a few months.
Ok, I've created a first draft of a character. I've put most pertinent details in an alias, and I've put a text dump of PCGen in the text box. Do you want me to make a post with that alias or just tell you the name? It's 'Aimo Trajan'.

Looks good. Please post only from your alias from now on.
I have almost finished my build of Tayllon, a Halfling Druid. I will enter all the info here tomorrow as early as possible and this will be my last post here as Liss.
I have two alias's (rough draft characters) 1. Lucian Z'ress - human fighter and
Dorian Nok - human conjurer...leaning towards the conjurer...let me know if you have any preference.
Probably will not post again tonight...it's the stanley cup playoffs here in philadelphia..and we just went into O.T.!!!

As you wish...
OK, I am almost done just need to finish up my equipment/magic items which I should be able to get done by this afternoon.
Quick question: I'm not sure how to represent my racial size attack bonus. My base attack is +1, should I just make it +2 or does that screw up other formulas?

If you could display it as +1.
Can we use items from the Adventurer's Armory? I was thinking of doing a rogue who used cesti for a brawler kind of feel.
Seeing as how we already have two divine casters and are soon to have a rogue...I went with the fighter character.

Sure. Please post the stats for the cesti here, because I do not yet have the Adventurer's Armory.

Thanks.
Some clarifications:
1) How many weeks will you allow me to have worked at training my bear by the time I made second level (if at all)?
2) I've actually never gamed with a halfling character ever, not even had one as a party member. Are their weapons always considered small for damage purposes?
Thanks!
This is Guero, with my character, a Human Rogue.
The cestus is:
Nevermind about the weapon size question, a friend of mine answered that for me (always small).
I would still like to train my bear a bit, though, so I can direct him better in combat and eventually ride him when he grows at 4th level (assuming that is legal).
I decided to buy a CLW wand, but if you guys have a better high cost gear suggestion for me (especially with a cleric in the party) then let me know and I will consider making a change.
Sorry if I'm posting too fast and furious, I'm pretty excited to take part in my first PBP. I will probably go camping Saturday night, though, so if I disappear tomorrow until Sunday evening please don't be mad.
Oh...I too purchased gear from the Armory..a Whetstone.
Source Adventurer's Armory 9
Honing a blade with a whetstone requires about 15 minutes of work and grants the weapon a +1 bonus on your damage roll the first time you hit with it. This only works on nonmagical blades.
EEEK! I was traveling over the holiday so I missed this. When do you plan to start? After years of no business travel I suddenly will be traveling quite a bit over the next two weeks and will not be able to post. If this will delay your campaign, I will step aside if need be.
I'll reserve a spot for you in my next game. Please e-mail me at :

Please let me know how you intend to train the bear more. This is a short, one shot adventure and it is very unlikely that anyone's character will level.
Okay, I basically would want to teach him a few of the combat commands then (attack, come, down, guard). Most important would be attack and down, I suppose. I took defend as his bonus trick so he will at least protect me if worse comes to worst.
I'm going camping for the night, I'll check back in tomorrow sometime, probably during the evening.
You can have 8 slots of tricks for your bear.
Lyingbastard, are you still with us? I'd hate you start without you.

Email sent. Thanks for allowing my delay action. Hope everyone else enjoys the campaign.

Sorry to be thick, but do you mean 8 attempts at training him or 8 tricks with automatic success to train?
Thanks!
(Came back from early, darn leaky tent... its brand new, too!)
I was being unclear. 6 automatic successes and 2 bonus tricks.
Lyingbastard, are you still with us? I'd hate you start without you.
Yes, I am. Paladin Keiran Sligoh, at your service. (still working on skills and equipment)
Cool ! Thanks for responding, LB.
Okay, got my gear selected. 4 skill points only, 2 Feats... Alertness and Power Attack for feats, Diplomacy, Ride, Perception, Sense Motive for skill points.
Background is that he's an orphan from the long crusade raised in the temple of Iomadae, and joined the ranks of her Paladins out of a sense of loyalty. He knows he is a bit sheltered but his generally pleasant demeanor and decent people skills are among his strengths.
OK, good.
Everyone, please check out the following page. It's a spreadsheet that I'll be using to keep track of your characters' stats. Please check it to see if I've made any transcription mistakes:

Yeah, Keiran's saves are Fort +7 (+3, +3 from Divine Grace, +1 CON), Ref +4 (+0, +3 from Divine Grace, +1 DEX), Will +7 (+3, +3 from Divine Grace, +1 WIS), not +3 Fort, +6 Ref, +3 Will. Init is +1, how are you figuring Hit Points? Is it Max at first level, then normal advancement, or just straight dice rolls? And I forgot 2 skill points (one per level) for human... Knowledge (religion) and Heal.
AC is 18, Touch 11, Flatfooted 17 (MW Banded Mail). Speed 20.
CMB +3, CMD 14
Melee: +4 Masterwork Greatsword (+2 BAB, +1 MW, +1 STR, 2d6+1, 19-20/x2)
Ranged: +3 Heavy Crossbow (+2 BAB, +1 DEX, 1d10) w/ 10 bolts.
OK, good.

That's awesome..nice work!
My BAB is +2 and my Melee attack is: MWK Greatsword +8(+2BAB,+4STR,+1weapon focus,+1MWK weapon) damage 2d6+6.
Oh, if he's going two-hander, maybe I should do something else. My low strength doesn't give me a lot of use out of it anyway.
Since Aimo is using a scimitar as well I will use my shortspear as my main weapon. The scimitar was just meant to be my back up in case I throw the spear, anyway.
Should be done my gear and tricks early this afternoon, almost done now anyway. I think I will take the wand of CLW, I can't really think of anything more useful in the price range. A MWK weapon wouldn't be as wise a choice in my case, I don't think.
OK, good.

A couple of updates to the spreadsheet:

Spd: 20
Scimitar: +3, damage: 1d6+2
CMB: +3
CMD: 13
LB, Kieran's HP is full for both level 1 and 2.
In the interest of transparency, I have just started GMing a PBP game for two RL friends of mine over the last couple of days (what can I say, I've been bitten by the RP bug again after many years away from PnP).
This will still be my first PBP as a player, and I look forward to learning more about how it is done from an experienced GM (I am already finding out how difficult it can be) but if my recent involvement in another thread disqualifies me from this one I understand and will regretfully yet gracefully bow out.
To be clear, I don't imagine the other thread will interfere with my ability to participate or post regularly here in any way and I still very much want to be involved.
I have no problem with that.
LB, Kieran's HP is full for both level 1 and 2.
Okay, so that's 2d10+2 for CON and class, or 22, plus 2 each level for Favored Class, so 26 HP.
How about I use a MW Halberd instead of a MW greatsword? That'd be +4 to attack (+2 BAB, +1 STR, +1 MW), 1d10+1 damage, x3, brace, trip.

I think that it's only +1hp/lvl for each level in a favored class, not +2/lvl? Personally I like the Halberd idea...diversifies the party a bit, but I can change if you don't want too.

Oops, you're right. So, 24 then.
The spreadsheet looks good afaik. All done with my gear and trick selection, think I will hold onto my scimitar as back up just in case (though I feel a little overarmed).
How much of a back story did you want? I'm not sure which part of the world we are in, so I would have to be pretty vague I guess.
