Welcome, one and all.
I am your merciful and humble DM. Congratulations to those who were chosen, if you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for the opportunity to play DM!!!
First gameplay post is up, feel free to check in and begin introductions in character. Once everyone is in and settled I'll get us started.
So excited! Thanks for giving me a chance.
I have to ask, was the Captain America reference intentional or happy coincidence?
Let's just say he used to wield an Adamantine Returning Throwing Shield. In PFS, he's in the Andoran faction. ;-)
Greeting all and looking forward to playing with you all.
Varshana, which perform check did you put your rank in, also did you pick two traits because I'm only seeing your crime.
Perform is untrained, I'll update that.
I did not pick any traits...I didn't have any that seemed to fit my character concept so I decided not to have any...if that's ok. I'll pick some if you'd like :)
I'll start this...I'm in PST (or GMT -8). Live in SoCal. Where's everyone else from?
Roger, to grab Crane stlye and Crane wing you'll need the Dodge feat (you don't need to meet the prerequisites for the free Monk feat but your 1'st level and bonus human you still need to meet prerequisites) IE.
1st lvl Dodge
human bonus Crane Style
Monk 1 bonus Crane wing
Jacksonville, Florida. Means I'm in EST (GMT -5). I'm a compulsive forum lurker, so don't worry about me missing posts or whatnot. If I'm quiet for a long stretch, it means I'm either working, sleeping, or don't have anything to contribute at the moment. :-)
EDIT: Thanks for catching that GM. I'll pick up Deflect Arrows in a couple levels then.
Perform is untrained, I'll update that.

Then by my calculation you should have one more skill rank to spend, if you do not wish to pick another trait that is fine.
I live in Tennessee in CST (or GMT -5).
I am in the same Time zone as Varshana but more in central California. In about half a month though, I will be relocated to DC to facilitate the job search.
Greetings all. had to change the name because the original was already taken.
Dargon Lake, general lay-about and scoundrel.
Im in Charlotte NC. EST (GMT-5)
(grew up in Los Angeles so cal though)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I grew up in Charlotte; it's a great place. :-)
What does Roger look like? Varshana'd like to appraise her meat ;)
A quick note for our DM. I exchanged the Diplomat trait for Lesser Noble, semed to fit his background a bit better. Esetially, instead of getting a +1 to Sense Motive, I gain a +1 to knowledge nobility.
6'5", 240 pounds. On the right side of his face is a nasty-looking scar running from his hairline to his jaw. Fairly drill instructor-esque, but I haven't been able to find a good picture yet.
Thrilled to be chosen! I'm EST for those who care. :-)
Headed to Gameplay to see what's up.
Updated my skills, I forgot to put my Spellcraft in :)
Elijah, yes you may use the lord of darkness, I apologize I thought I had said it already.
Sorry for the delay I haven't been able to connect to the Paizo site all day.
yeah the boards are unusually slow today
I'm off to my real life campaign for a few hours. Will post again after.
Sorry guys, google docs doesn't want to upload the map for some reason. If any of you have a suggestion for a good way for maps I'm open to suggestions.
Worst case, you can give us grid coordinates, and we'll map it ourselves. Time consuming, and not at all ideal, but that's what happened in one of my first PbPs. The others I've been in have done Google Docs, so I don't have any other options for you, sorry.
Off topic, I'm going to bed now. I'll be back on briefly in the morning before heading to work.
I upload mine into skydrive and make em public. (very easy)
or
post em on Facebook as 'only viewable by you' and post a link here. (harder but not bad)
I hadn't added the MW thieves to the skill. good catch.
Quick question. I didnt think Thieves tools added an inn ate bonus, but rather my understanding is that not using thieves tools results in a -2 to disable device.
Is this a house rule?..Im fine with it, just dont want to take credit when its not due.
I'm mistaken, the last +1 is from being a rogue. Trapfinding, add half your rogue level to perception to locate traps and to disable device (minimum +1).
@Lanarial, I don't see where your favored class bonus was placed. You should either have HP 14, another skill rank, or +1 to cmd vs disarm.
I'm new to Pathfinder, so assumed the favored class bonus didn't happen until 2nd level and beyond...That changes things! More goodies for ALL my characters :-)
I'll put a rank in Intimidate. Thanks!!
GM, quick question about my bonded object...I chose a dagger (the one from my backstory) will I need to bond to a new object?
Unfortunately yes.
Fair enough thanks!
The assumption is on your arrest your bonded object is destroyed (it is a tool of the devil after all) and your animal companion killed.
Still there Dargon? Gonna try and pick the door lock or no?
If he doesn't post by the time I get off work ill dm pc him till we hear something.
oh Im looking in each day. I was waiting for others to chime in. If Dargon picks the lock the big guy is coming out.. Hes not going to be smart enough to wait til a guard shift change occurs.....thats why I havent yet.
Sorry everyone this has been a hell of a weekend, I'm back now and will be for some time.
No worries, happens to all of us!
Posting might be a little slowed for the next day or two...I've fallen ill and am spending most of time sleeping when not working.
Will try to get a post in in the morning tomorrow. However, I will be flying out to DC tomorrow with the first leg of the trip being a 7 hour bus ride to Oakland, as such, internet access might be limited until I get to the hostel in DC.
Something I never asked, would you guys like to use the critical fumble deck?
I use it in my home campaigns much like critical hits. On a roll of a natural 1, you reroll using all of your bonuses, if you miss with the reroll its a critical fumble and you take a card. If you reroll and you "hit" then it is just a normal miss.
Personally I am not a fan, because mooks and BBEG are disposable, whereas PCs have to live with what can happen. But I will bow to the group consensus.
You have a greater chance for a crit miss than a crit hit, statistically speaking, which I think penalizes us in the long run, so I would NOT be in favor of it. (Plus, I've seen WAY too many 1s rolled in these posts!!)
ditto. Not a fan.
Same here.
Sorry about the silence, guys. I've been GMing two conventions and ended up making myself extremely sick. I've been laid up in bed for almost a week now but am finally on the mend. I'll try to get caught up tomorrow.
Get healthy! I've been battling sickness for what seems like AGES!
DM? Are we still in combat?
Maybe he critically fumbled the keyboard =P
