Well, after the first level or so, wands are a great, great help. :) My group in S&S didn't have a dedicated healer, but we had a few healing abilities and a TON of wands. :) A wand works great.
I don't even know if someone with full healing capability was even in the running.
That was what I was saying, Olivius. xD But yes, I think wands are our friends, very much. Though I would need to switch out another skill for it... Or wait until he realizes IC. Which is what I'll do, most likely. :D
Was a decision already made about who was selected? You guys sound like you know who is in.
all wishful thinking I believe no selections were made to my knowledge.
Depending on how many people are being selected, this page looks like a pretty solid party.
Ya. Submissions are closed, but no announcement on who's in until Friday (evening I believe). We probably sound like this because we know the field is limited to us.
Yes, all of my statements should be taken with "If I get in" in front of them. :D
I've got enough skill points to continue bumping UMD, so if I get in, I could take care of between-battles healing.In theory.
I might flesh out my backstory a bit more and update my profile to reflect the rolled stats. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get in - all you folks frequenting this board, it sounds like we could be a great party. And I'm just itching to play this guy!
Pavanna’s more about smacking down the baddies, then ministering to those they’ve harmed. Like Horatio, she prioritises healing-spells and has enough skill-points to boost UMD if needed, and she may end up multi-classing into cleric or paladin if things (including her life as a PC) go long enough. (Of course, a party with both an archaeologist and a classic bard might be interesting, depending on who they’re working with....)
@ Olivius: you might need to tweak your languages a little. IIRC, Cheliax doesn’t have its own language - the primary tongue is Taldane (AKA ‘Common’), like almost everywhere else on the Inner Sea.

I thought cheliax had its own. Thanks.
I get tired of the beat down format of combat. There are so many other cool things you can do with options. I'm always the unconventional player in the game and tend to come up with very off the wall ways to do combat or even to run a character. I don't even do generic hack and slash anymore
Is Varisian its own language or does it not count like chelaxian?
I'm just trying to play as all the different classes. In my short-lived 3.5 days, every character I played was a halfling rogue. Then I started DMing. My first Pathfinder character was a crazily overpowered (40-point buy, double WBL) musket master gunslinger who was raging drunk the entire time. Now I'm playing low-wisdom gnome sorcerer in my friend's game, and on the boards, I'm playing a witch in Carrion Crown, a summoner in Way of the Wicked, an oracle in We Be Goblins, and I've dusted off my gubslinger for Skull & Shackles.
I haven't played enough to actually know what I'm good at. I'm hoping I can get in, so I can find out how much I like bards. There's so much you can do in Pathfinder, and I just want to try it all.
Well, this'll be both my first PFRPG game and my first PbP, so I wanted to play a character with good RP hooks, but who was fairly straight-forward when it came to fight-y time. If you set 'em up, Akisame, Pavanna will help knock 'em down.
@ Olivius: Varisian is its own language, yes. (It might be derived from Thassilonian, but after ten thousand years' linguistic drift, it'd be pretty hard to tell.)
Olivius, Varisian is its own language. =)
I believe that Thassilonian is actually a mixture of old Varisian, Azlanti, and Shoanti, but I could be wrong. It's even harder than tracking real languages. xD
EDIT: Though modern Varisian does appear to be descended from Thassilonian.
Thanks for the clarification guys.
@worries about hack'n'slash: that's why Olivious has the Imp. Bullrush feat. Options.
"Hack-n-slash? Vhy do hyu need to hack und to slash. Hy find dot hack-n-smash iz much more fon!"
Ahem, Sorry, Gkirkhan kinda took over there. As for languages. Chelish (or Cheliaxian) is basically Taldane. Taldor, Andoran, and Cheliax all speak it, or dialects of it. Everything else is a legitimate language in it's own right. Unless I'm just jumbling stuff up, the Varisians and Shoanti were in Varisia when Xin came over and established Thassilon. Thassilonian, I imagine, has more in common with Azlanti than Varisian. Modern Varisian is likely a corruption of Thassilon, Original Varisian, and Shoanti. Shoanti probably borrows heavily from Skald and Varisian. Taldane evolved form Azlanti and Thassilonian.
Of course take this with a very big grain of salt. I don't know if the guys at Paizo have gotten deep enough to think about how their languages evolved.
That is neither here nor there. I wanna know who's in. :P
*possesses impatient toddler for inner child*
I've updated my statblock in the profile, but I'm working on my backstory a bit at a time even as we speak. Trying to multitask a lot of different things before I head out.
I definitely need to add in the connections to things. Maybe. Possibly. Hmm...could.
Sorry to Trace, I completely missed his question.
Tieflings, and Aasimars reach adulthood whenever they would if they hadn't been one of those. After that, things get a little different.
Tieflings keep using the same table. So a tiefling that had gnome parents would use the gnome table.
Aasimars use the table elves, adjusted by adding 25-50% (roll 1d20+1d6-1d2+25 Yes I know that the statistics are going to be skewed.)
Does that help?
Before we go and add solid connections to each other, I suggest we see who gets in first.

It helps settle some things in the background, yeah. Thanks!
I'd like to be connected too but I've been holding back to see who gets in also. I would love to be on some pregame terms with many of you but we all can't get in.
Course I fear that because I never brought anything up that I might not get it. :(
Okay. I've updated history, personality, and appearance. I'd love some feedback, as I'm still not so great at all the fluffy stuff.

That's good stuff. In your personality section I suggest getting rid of a few conjunctions. It tends to run on a bit in there, but it's a good read. Well done.
Hm... I am wondering what I can add to my backstory, but I'm not thinking of anything yet. Ah well. :D

Cheers! I feel a bit better about it now. I was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote it up - I knew exactly what I wanted to say, and had the time to get it down, but not the time to get it all sounding the best. I'll fix it soon.
Today's the day! :D
I'm in England, so have about an extra 8 hours to catch up on. It's 7.30pm here, so probably 1.30 for you guys!
*Crosses fingers*
*Inner child starts excitedly bouncing about*
I sometimes feel sorry for DMs who want all the players but can only take 4-6.
Yes. I am currently in a campaign that had three times the number of submissions than he could take. I felt terrible for him. xD
if you would like we can have a drinking contest...last 4 or 5 standing are in
Would we be using beer, wine, or spirits? I rock with spirits. Not so good with beer though
I feel that would leave you with a very martial party, lacking in the more magical aspects.
After that many beers, everyone's magical
Haha. Well, certainly, drunks are easier to hypnotize- wait, what?
*Looks around, whistles innocently*
The anticipation is starting to hurt. I can hardly stand the suspence. Anyone else getting that feeling
I'm just sitting here, observing and hoping for the best. :p
Good night and good luck all!
I'm off to bed as it's midnight here, so I'll wake up to catch the good or bad news tomorrow. :)
Thanks for the consideration regardless Salsa. :)
