Armor Check adjustments made (oooh painful! 4 skills I have ranks in) Where o where is masterwork/mithril chain lol.
God, I hear you. Right where it smarts. I'm pretty thankful for armor training right now but 3rd level cant come fast enough.
Out of curiosity, Hector, what size city is Korvosa? If it's at least a small city I might be able to buy a cloak of elvenkind (a 75% chance if it's below the settlments base value) to keep up with the sneaky types.
@Moonbeam This here calculator might be some help to you. Play with the numbers until you have something that adds up to 25.
You could have something like 13, 14, 15, 12, 8, 18 or
13,14,14,12,12,17?
At 4th level you can bump one of these scores up by 1, so odd numbers are great to have. I'd bump up the str in the first spread and the cha in the latter.

Huh. It looks like 3.5 had different rules for settlements. No matter.
Now for the question of the week... Who on earth would name their child "Severs? If you wanted proof that all hellnights are bloody psycopaths, well... here it is. :P
I take offense to that! You may be a member of Korvosa's guard, but our law is universal. I suggest you show it the proper respect.
Who on earth would name their child "Severs?
His nickname is "Boneclaw". =D

Nice...makes me feel are warm and safe...."Tell us again how you flayed the skin off the offending warrior Uncle Boneclaw!"...lol
Alexei and Moonbomb, the sooner you can get those characters wrapped up the better. There shouldn't be a lot of combat for the beginning so we can get started as soon as you're all ready. And Moonbomb, if you need help working on your character, you can skype me.
...if you need help working on your character, you can skype me.
Or just post in here. ^^
I was meaning for more direct help without the ask and wait for an answer delay. Obviously any questions can be posted here.
The other point being with a lengthy intro. character interaction, we can go ahead and get started and be playing while the characters are being finished up. If everyone's cool with that, that is.
Alright! I think everything is in order stat wise, and the craziness should be over for a little while at least. Let's get the RP going.

Hear hear!
Ready and waiting. I have bounties to apprehend!
Onward! We've got a plot hook to discover!
I'm ready to go if everyone else is.
All ready to go!!
Alexei, your CMD should be a 12, and you have one too many feats. Also, your aura should be Aura of Law since Abadar is Lawful Neutral. Looks good otherwise.
With no word from Moonbomb in a couple days, If he hasn't posted to let me know anything by tomorrow we'll get started and go with six.
Sounds good. I have a party tonight (in the Sydney opera house :3) which will presumably be early or mid morning for most of you so don't hold up if I'm a little late. I'll be along eventually.
I'm pretty stoked. I've been hoping to play in an AP and a PbP since my lurking days, but was too slow to make the cut. :P

Took the racial option which allows you to switch out a half-elf's skill focus racial feat for an exotic weapons proficiency. I you don't like it though, I can change to crossbow. Guns just seemed cool for Abadar. Will change Aura.
@Alexei Okay, I was just wondering where it came from. You're all good then.
All that stuff has to be typed in in the "About Nina Coryan" section. If I were you, I'd just copy/paste the info there from what you typed in the Recruitment thread. Also, you have three more ability points to spend. I'd consider buffing your Int or Dex some more. But that all can come over time, it's no major deal immediately
On that note, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Chapter 1: Edge of Anarchy is now underway.
Here's the link if any of you don't know how to get there:
Also, Moonbomb, I noticed you didn't choose traits. Traits are one of the things Pathfinder added that wasn't in 3.5. Most of the basic traits are available for a free download from Paizo. One of the one's you choose should be from the Curse of the Crimson Throne Player's Guide (also a free download). The trait that you choose will help add a plot hook for Nina to have a reason to begin the campaign. I'll get you on Yahoo to help you with the finishing touches.
Any word from Moonbomb? I'm not sure whether to stall until this meeting or not. :/
Go ahead and post Twigs.
Moonbomb, you need to post more regularly or you'll miss what's going on. If you're going to have periods of inactivity or problems posting frequently, just let me know.
I was curious if I could make a retroactive change to my build. I'd be interested in taking either the Cosmopolitan or Additional Traits feats to shore up my skills somewhat early on. I'd underestimated how low those bonus' would be at lower levels. I'd like to replace Improved Grapple because it hadn't occured to me that I can't take skill feats with my fighter bonus feats.
If not, I can wait til 3rd level and tough it out until then, but I'm determined to stay single classed.
So out of curiosity, which time zone is everyone in? I'm GMT+8 here.
GMT +10, here. You aren't down under, by any chance?
I've got a pretty solid procrastination schedule that means I'm online for a good 50% of my day, so things seem to be working out quite well.
That said, I'll have to get some repair work done on the old girl some time this week. If I mysteriously vanish, it shouldnt take too long.
Nope, I'm teaching English in eastern China at the moment.

Hey, brilliant. Alright. Where are you from?
Where are the rest of you folks, if you don't mind my asking? I'm a first-year arts student in Sydney.
I'm from the US, graduated with a BA in English about two years ago, and at the beginning of the year I came over here to give teaching a whirl before I actually made a career after it. And wouldn't you know it, now I've acquired a fondness for ESL. Planning on taking a certification course in Beijing next year, and after that I'll do a different country every couple of years.
I'm a museum curator in Saskatchewan, Canada -6:00 GMT
I'm GMT-6. Inter-mountain west in the United States. Currently in junior year for my BS in Food Science.
GMT-8, Pacific Time in Washington state. I work in IT.
-Titus
GMT-5, Central Time down in Louisiana, U.S. Working at a small lumber store while I'm trying to get into working for DCS.
I'm without a home computer at the moment, so my responses will be a bit more sporadic. I'm more or less imprisoned in the uni library however, so I'll be about in the day time.
I have 5 days left of classes this semester, 3 essays and an exam tommorow. Freedom is so close yet so far. D:
hey sorry guys for the slow posts. I got into a car accident this weekend. pretty bad actually. my family is OK for the most part. car is totaled. I got hit in the free way (rear-ended) my wife ended up having a compression fracture in her spine so I've been dealing with her in the hospital and stuff. So DM Hector if needed to move the game along a bit feel free to npc my actions a bit but I'll try to post more often but my head is not in the game at the moment but i'll be back. in and out. Just giving u guys a heads up.
I'm in PST
Active duty navy but I'll be in Virginia next week for school.
Yikes. Hope things turn out alright. Also I dig the voice you've given Nina. Very chirpy. Let us know if we can help you out.
Also I'm curious about the navy life. Maybe you can fill me in a bit once things settle down.
<---- AT3 USN 1990-1994
My wife was in an accident as well. Nothing major, but scared the bejeezus out of her. I get where you're coming from, so it's not a prob. i'll NPC Nina to get her caught up to the rest of the group.
RADAR? :P
Thought I'd repost my request last week somewhere that I delay improved grapple by one level to boost henrics skills. Once combat kicks in i'd be hesitant to change.
Sorry, that got lost in some of the posts. That's not a problem. I'm pretty lax about you altering your character. One of the things I liked about 4e was the ability to retrain one feat/skill/class ability when you leveled up. I'll do something similar, but since there's been no combat yet go ahead.
We did everyone go?
I'm going to assume weekend.
Must be...
Sorry folks! Getting my computer fixed is taking longer than I thought so I havent been able to steal much time online. Should be coming in tonight, good as new. I'm looking forward to putting the laptop with no shift key away where it belongs.
How do we plan on doing combat? I'm sure having a map per round will slow things down to a crawl. I've seen other PbP's use that method... Or will we just play thing a little looser and nudge the map to the side once we have our bearings? This is how i run my games over IM and it's always worked for me.
Well I like to have a map to at least show starting positions...but like you say, it can slow things down...so I am ok with it being a little loose...
Since we'll be starting combat, I'll let you guys know how i'm doing things. RAW on pretty much all combat rules. I'll be rolling your init. for you. You guys let me know what you'll be doing on your turn, and I'll translate that into what happens over the round (my GM in another campaign does this, and I think it works well so I shall do it too).
