Note on Posting:

I would like us to have a high volume of posts during the week (Sunday night- Friday afternoon) I will be leaving home Friday afternoon's-Sunday mid day most weekends. I can and will post on my phone, but maps and such will have to be done at home.

Thanks

Ok - should not be an issue.

I can't get the RSS feed to work for the Gameplay thread, perhaps when it is a little older, like a day or so. if anyone knows let me know

Let me see if I cant get my profile showing right... and there we are.

I'm here.

I'm here

Am i right here? Oh someone looks like my twin!

Someone knows if and how i can still change that picture?

You can, but no need. I changed mine. I was never thrilled with that image of Kargen, so it provided me the motivation to find another one.

Thanks^^
Still would appreciate how to do it, just to learn something and to know it in the future.

At the top of the page, click on "My Account." Log in.

Then scroll down past the section where normal aliases are. There's a section labeled "Pathfinder Society." Click the link that says, "Click here to make changes."

Then click on "Edit" next to the character name you want to edit. That should take you to the same page you had when first setting up your character. You can change the faction and the avatar picture.

Thanks again!
It´s not possible to change that by just clicking on the name and then "edit profile". But now i know.

Should we start with introductions in Gameplay?

Or left hand menu will have Pathfinder society. Top menu in normal script will have 'My Pathfinder society'. Click on that. Log in and you'll have a list of your PFS characters.

Then click on "Edit" next to the character name you want to edit. That should take you to the same page you had when first setting up your character. You can change the faction and the avatar picture

Tortella, reporting for (executioner's) duty.

:) Love the concept

Should we start with introductions in Gameplay?

I like that we both use morning stars but shouldn't a priest of Sarenrae be using a scimitar?

I want to do some pre mission shopping - do we do it here or later?

You usually have a chance to shop after getting the mission & before starting it, giving you the opportunity to specifically prepapre (ie heavy blanket for cold weather, acid flasks for oozes, etc). That said, if you *don't* get the chance, will you be ready? Might want to keep your inventory stocked.

you will have opportunity to buy gear before the scenario gets to far along, i would prefer to do it in game play thread

@Tortella: You know that a sorcerer can wear a Haramaki or Silk Ceremonial Robes for +1 AC without any restrictions? I would heavily recommend that to you. Haramaki is only 2 or 3gp also and doesn´t weight a lot.

@Luccinus: I know and i will from level 3 on, when i get that guided hand feat. Right now it´s only a decision between having 1d8x2 or 1d6 18-20x2. Since i´m configured to undead right now, i thought the morning star would make some sense. Also i like the image^^

The Order of the Godclaw use it for a reason :) That said I am likely gonna get a sword. Need to round out my arsenal - Bashing doesn't work well versus Zombies.

@Tortella: You know that a sorcerer can wear a Haramaki or Silk Ceremonial Robes for +1 AC without any restrictions? I would heavily recommend that to you. Haramaki is only 2 or 3gp also and doesn´t weight a lot.

Thanks, updated. I'll switch to the silk robes when money permits, because I like the image better. For now, the Haramaki will have to do.

EDIT: WAIT! Now I remember why I didn't go with those... that's light armor & I'm not proficient! The things you try to make me do...

That´s metagaming^^, but you are right. Perhaps i will get one too. Have to check money and encumbrance though. Is this a wilderness or city adventure? Do we need stuff like bedrolls, blankets, mess kits, tents etc?

Best to have and not need than need and not have

-old Pathfinder motto

It´s also a question of what you can afford and carry.

Pathfinder’s Kit - 12gp
[This kit consists of a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, a clay mug, a dagger, 2 fishhooks, flint and steel, a sewing needle, a signal whistle, 50 feet of string, 50 feet of thread, a waterskin, a week’s worth of trail rations, and a whetstone.]

Drop pack round 1 works for some ppl. Others are already in medium armour :)

I got a masterwork backpack, else i would already have a problem. Well im in medium armor too, but i would like to avoid medium ancumbrance becasue of the penalty check.

this is gonna be fun... hopped up to play!

ALL: Don't forget to dot the game thread.
If you don't know, "dotting" just means to make a single post on the thread, typically so you can be notified of other posts.

Are we gonna need to make Diplomacy checks just to get our faction missions?

no, you will get them before leaving town.

PFS #: 1142-2
Faction: Silver Crusade

PFS# 65114-1
Andoran Faction

PFS #: 37563-3
Faction: Qadira

7608-2 Silver Crusade

PFS#38110-5 Cheliax

Question about PFS:

We can rebuild our character at any time before hitting level 2. I had changed my faction. Do I still have the PP from my previous scenarios even though they were earned form a different faction?

Up until level 2 you can change faction etc. Its locked at level 2.

You keep your PP

Ah, then I should have bought a wand too.

Check with GM - maybe he'll allow a retro

I do not have a problem with that. I need to brush up on the PFS rules where this is concerned.

Sweet. Consider 2PP spent for a Wand of Cure Light Wounds.

2pp allows for a purchase of a 750gp item...in this case the wand. Given the player was confused about if they had the prestige or not, its your call to handwave it and just say "Ok, you bought that back at town", or not.

I'd appreciate it if you did otherwise I'm gonna be the sole source of wand healing for the game and I'd perfer to share that burden around.

ok, np

In the future, it might be helpful for you to roll everyone's init, then post it in blocks, such as:

Luccinus & Tortella
Dogs (NPC)
Other PCs
Guards (NPC)

That way, we can start posting our actions faster. It just helps to speed up gameplay, if you don't mind a less-strict initiative order.

Oh, and it's good to put the link to the map in the "race" line of your profile, so it's always there for everyone. Very handy.

I use the campaign info tab for the map link if I am using the DM alias for multiple games... still need to change around buuuuut you know exactly where it is.

After this combat, I am probably going to do some house keeping.
It is my 1st pbp

I'll probably be rolling everyone's initiative. I have read where some people do all the NPC's turns then players or VV. I am not sure what that will do to the tactical aspects of the game, also i may start calling for a series of perception checks and just go down the list, to speed things up.
