I am also sad to see you depart Tinuviel. Hopefully things will turn around, and you can come back soon. I will run her characther as NPC until we are out of Thistletop (or we have a plausible reason to send her out).
Do you want to go recruiting for an arcane type or plow forward with 4?
I would vote to recruit. This is a fun and long running game. I'd like to have another wizard type.
Actually, believe it or not, today was our 1 year anniversary! I will see what we can find for an arcane type that fits our bill.

And I did not get you anything. :)
Sorry I've been in Milwaukee all week and been hit and miss.
If you know someone who is on the boards you think would be a good fit, I am all ears, otherwise I will open recruitment for 1 arcane type. I will let you guys help in the selection and bring them in when it makes sense for the story-line.
Here is the honey pot for new recruits. Please share your comments either here or by PM. Feel free to post in the recruitment thread as well.
We don't have to necessarily go Arcane caster, I'd be willing to retrain Rogar as an Inquisitor, that would give us two partial casters (Robin and Rogar) 1 full fledged melee and 1 partial melee (Korvek and Rogar) and 1 full divine caster, we should be able to handle anything that's thrown at us with that.
I wouldn't even need to change my skills, as the inquisitor and the Ranger skills are almost exactly the same.
ok, so I couldn't get the re-recruitment thread to be active again (don't ask me why) so I just linked the old recruitment thread here. I did say arcane wasn't required but preferred.
I have a RL friend who might be interested, I'll let him know we're looking.
Rogar, I would rather have you as a ranger than an inquisitor. That is a big change RP wise and does not meet my idea on what we need a wizard for. I am hoping to find an arcane caster that can cast Haste at 4th (Summoner) or 5th (Wizard), Debuff the enemy and control the battlefield, have great knowledge checks, be an expert at spell craft, and craft wondrous items for us.
Looks like 3-4 applicants so far, including a friend of Korvek's. I play in a game run by Niles and run a game that Wolfgang Rolf plays in. Both are consistent posters, so I am interested to see their builds etc.
Feel free to comment on who you like/don't like here or by PM.
I do not believe I know any of them, which is nice as it levels the playing field. I strongly prefer an Int based caster so I am not fond of the sorcerer that is already done. On top of not having great knowledge skills, he would be a poor crafter as he will not know a lot of the requires spells as a sorcerer, and he basically a blaster build, which I do not consider efficient. But I think he would be a good role player and likely add to the game in that dimension.
Any interest in any of the wizard/arcane applicants?
Lets have a look.
I'd prefer a wizard to a sorcerer in general. Robin is an arcane caster. I do not think we need another charisma based arcane caster. So I'd actually prefer an alchemist or witch to a sorcerer as well.
Bellamy Tharriz - Sorcerer and blaster - that is two strikes in my book. Back Story is long, but not specifically tied to us.
Thalrik Korun - a well build tough wizard. I like most of what I see. I little optimized, but I like that as well. :) I do know this guy and have played in more than one game with him in the past. I even played against him in a PVP game that is still ongoing. Our groups are not currently fighting, but it could be interesting if he is chosen and later we fight again. :) No problem for me and I have no reason to think it would be for the other player either. Just Interesting. Also I have seen this player's role playing and its good. I am not crazy about the half crow thing though. I wonder if he would consider dropping that. Not a huge deal.
Malcolm Rayes - Another good wizard. He seems a little more balanced and less optimized thant Thalrik. He is not as prolific on the boards and has less of a posting history to consider.
Edward Sobel - Wendy - Does not fit the bill at all. I have played with Edward and he always provides interesting characters. But their effectiveness suffers for his desire to play these strange and often not terribly social characters. I think he would agree with me.
I would be happy with either Thalrik or Malcolm. The former is a known as far as, being a good role player and a good tactical gamer who knows the rules. The latter is more of an unknown, but he seems to build good wizards. We are not too much of an optimized bunch and I know what lies ahead in the future books. On the one hand the less optimized character might fit in better, but on the other, we might need the firepower I know Thalrik will bring. I am glad yo have to pick and not me.
My opinion would be biased. ^_^;
Korvek, Is one of these to the entry from Eric? What he had posted before was not complete.
Eric is Malcolm Rayes. I selected him but hate to not take the other guy who was also solid. Sent Malcom a PM, if you see him let him know to join us over here in Discussion thread.
Thank you for your faith and selection, as I posted before on the recruitment tab, I hope I do you all proud. My schedule is such that I'll be able to post at least once a day, if not three or four. Since I am new to PBP, if anyone has an issue with my posts being too descriptive, not descriptive enough, or if I seem to be way off on the mood with my posts, etc, feel free to give me either a polite message or a verbal smackdown. :D
Welcome to the group Malcolm. It looks like you play wizards pretty regularly. I tend to do so as well. If you want to discuss tactics or ideas let me know. The other wizard was significantly optimized, with a 20 int starting. But if we can get you to 4th level you will have a 20 as well and be more balanced for it. He also was a conjurer but had taken the teleportation sub school, which I have to admit, seems at least to me to be much better for keeping a wizard alive than a handful of low damage touch attacks. Those shifts as swift actions are just soooo nice.
Ehm, it was requested that the character be built for 4th lvl, his int is as high as it's going to get for now without magic assistance.
And if I get into Melee combat, I'm not doing my job right! :D
My first pathfinder (Over a game client) was a Cleric, and I was pretty dang effective. If you have any tips for me... since none of my wizards have actually made it more than a round into combat yet... feel free to dispense with the advice. Feel free too get as basic as you want/need, but I used to play 3.0/3.5 D&D alot, so I've got a pretty firm grasp of the system.
The two biggest questions I have right now are "Are we using Hero Points?" and "What XP track are we on?"
We are not using Hero Points, and the Xp track is Fast (per the AP notes to the DM). The others aren't quite to 4th level yet, so you are just a bit ahead, but they should be soon.
I am looking over your Mythweaver sheet and will comment if I have any question or concern. It'll be just a bit before we can introduce you to the game, so feel free to read up and I'll holler when we're ready to join.
Yaaay. :D
Vhat, another longshank vizard, bah
Velcome, I guess ;)
If I'm Longshank, your Shortstop :D
Hi. I was at a con all weekend where there was to be wifi, but it was not usable. Sorry to be gone. Back now, and ready to move forward.
eh, my bad. I haven't moved this group forward in some time, but i will use the excuse that you were gone...
Now that you are back, Cadas, so am I...Let's plow ahead.
Noice.
Add +1 for Favored Class and +2 for CON, new HP = 42
Favored Terrain (forgot that last level) is Mountains (Including Hills) +2 Initiative, Perception, Stealth and Survival when I'm in the Mountains/Hills.
Hunter's Bond - I'd like to get a Falcon, would like to Roleplay that out though.
1-spell
+1 Inherent bonus to DEX
Did I miss something? Are we leveling? Never mind. I see the note saying we leveled.
Leveling - Taking a level of Cleric
Stat Bump to Wisdom

Sense Motive
Perception
Diplomacy
Heal
Her BAB goes up by 1 and her Fort and Will saves increase by 1. She also gains another first and second level spell slot, which I will assume are currently empty but could be filled with 10 minutes of mediation.
[dice=HP]1d10 Noice.

I got all that. How did you spend your skill points?
Most of the loot is mage stuff. Our new mage will like. :) I guess we could let Robin have some of it. :P

This all looks good to me. When you fill the spell slots, please let me know what goes there.
Sure. Maybe our prisoners can tell us if its safe to rest 10 minutes here. :)
Robin - I am okay with the FEAT change, and you can re-roll the 1 hp result, but must subtract 1 from the next result.
I am good with the rest of your leveling changes.
I wanted to give a heads up that I'll be traveling from Wednesday through Sunday (going to Gen Con) and my posting will be limited. I'll still try to check this game at least once a day, but will likely be posting from a phone when I do post.
You can go ahead and remove Eric Monroa from the character page. The one planned for this is Malcolm Rayes and I didn't realize I was posting as Eric.
Alright. Character sheet finally updated. Can't believe I've been going all this time as two levels behind. o.o
You know you are only level 4, right?
Aha! I misread, that makes much more sense. Correcting.
