Welcome!
First off, I will nearly always be posting at night, FYI. My work has blocked Paizo so if something comes up, I won't see it until later.
Second, the pbp guide I referenced in the Recruitment thread is actually by Doomed Hero, not Painlord. (His is for GM's). The guide I want you to see is linked HERE. The first post by DoomedHero about formatting and stuff is the one I wanted you to see. You don't have to read the whole thread, obviously.
Finally, any questions, concerns, or comments about my expectations or houserules or anything? If not, I'll see you in the Gameplay thread tomorrow.
I've got a couple of questions:
Hit Points = Constitution score + Con modifier (like you would normally add) + favored class hp mod. + feats at first level, correct?
And
Hero points. Aba'al loved 'em so much he took feats that gave him more. Coiger though, given the choice would opt for the Antihero option assuming it is available and take Combat Casting. Flashy, super-heroic luck just doesn't fit the efficiency expert cleric as well.
Right! I meant to answer that and I forgot. Sorry.
No, the full Con score replaces the Con bonus and hit die. It should work out to more hp than you would have gotten by RAW. If it doesn't, let me know. This is a new houserule of my own devising. There may be an unforeseen flaw.
I'm ok with Coiger going antihero. I only worry because the campaign can be kinda deadly and Hero Points are meant to mitigate bad luck more than boost with good luck. If that works better for your character though, go for it. I love the rp decision. (BTW, is Coiger a cleric or inquisitor. I thought inquisitor, but you just said "cleric" in that post.")
hp: Gotcha.
He's an inquisitor by the rules, but I don't know that there is a great distinction inside the game world. He's either a slightly more martial cleric or a very ecclesiastic inquisitor. I'll probably switch between both to describe him in game, but his character sheet will read: inquisitor.
Final tweaks to character sheet made (corrected hp, minor changes to spell selection, favored class bonus went to Know (planes) rank, Antihero feat: Skill Focus (Perception), and equipment finalized leaving me 2 lbs into Medium encumbrance range)
just a dot for now .
Checking in for now, and will post more after work this evening. Thank you - looking forward to it!
If everyone could get your most pertinent stats posting under their name (like Sohar has done) that would be super duper. Just go into "Edit Profile" and enter that stuff into the lines below your name. I think just putting it all into Race and Class lines works. Am I right, Sohar?
Aye, "Class/Levels" shows up for certain. I think the "Race" one does also.
Done and done and I must say a cute trick.
Hey, all. So, pacing is one of the areas where I feel weakest in trying pbp. I hope you'll all be patient with me and, PLEASE, speak up if you have suggestions. I'm eager to learn and get better.
Sick at home and driven to drink (Nite-Quil) this weekend. Can hardly wait until I get cure disease.
:::THUD:::
Bummer. Feel better soon! I bet 4 hours of football, 1000 buffalo wings, and half a case of Sam Adams (go Pats!) will cure whatever you've got.

I don't really follow the NFL. Where I live we haven't had a pro-football team (aside from minor arena teams) here since the late '50s. Still there are other teams to follow.

Ah. Poor Detroit. Haha!
Morgrym, would you mind putting your main stats in the race and class lines of your profile so they show up on your posts like the others have, please.
Sure, I can take care of that this morning. Give me a few and I'll get it set.
Sohar, I don't know if it's what you're going for with your accent, but I love thinking about your lines with a New Orleans accent. Hope that doesn't accidentally impose anything you don't like. It's just fun for me to think about.
New Orleans & witches have a long history.
Speaking of things (character classes are things) that have a long and fraught history together....
But yes, very Anne Rice-ian.
As we near what may be our first tussle (depending on some choices made here), I realize that I neglected to include another houserule that I thought I had included in the recruitment thread.
I will not be tracking XP. I will simply tell you all to level up at the appropriate times in the narrative. It's one more thing to track and you'll end up leveling at nearly the same times I'll be telling you to anyway. This just allows me to make sure you're always ready for what you'll face next without having to pretend to do math.
I'm sorry I didn't give you a chance to see that one before you signed up. If you are put off by that change, please communicate with me and we'll try to work something out.
much the same. :)
Yep yep
Been there, felt that (this last weekend).
Get well soon.

It's been 3 days since we heard from Chellian with no warning that she would be away. Chellian, are you with us?
sorry for the unannounced absense, had a bit of an accident at work, and had to get acl's surgically repaired. all good, with luck wont have anything crazy happen again.
Whoa! Seriously?! I'm sorry you had to go through that. Hope you're not hurting. Glad you're still around.
Ouch, hope you're up and about soon. My brother-in-law had that done a few years back (he played ice hockey). So if you are a hockey player here's hoping you got to drop the gloves and overbear the other person (especially since you're the beatstick of our particular party).
From Hockeytown, USA to you,
Your Beatstick side-kick,
GGG
Ouch! Get better soon!
Sorry for my away-ness the last couple days, too. Power outage fried the power supply on my main pc at home, so I had to dig out an old laptop to check in.
with all the bad weather rolling in, its almost a good time for it hello warm rooms and being inside! Not that its a good thing mind you, but brightsides!
Hey, all. I have a bit of a selfish request that I think will serve you all as well. I'm trying to get into a RotRL game as a player and I proposed letting him into our game in exchange for getting into his. Here's why I did that...because a certain role was only partially filled, I'm afraid that the party may find you are sorely unprepared for a pretty big something coming up. We can absolutely make it work without him. Really. But this person is willing to fill the role I think you might need. Plus, Coiger has expressed concern that he has the best Diplomacy with a +1, so the group has no real "face." This person is volunteering for that role, too. Lastly, he's hoping to use an agathion-blooded aasimar (idyllkin). It would be even a little bit more weird and suspicious in Ustalav than even the elf or dwarf. This will have repercussions for the party, given the setting.
Before letting the guy in, I wanted to bring it before you guys and get your input. I am very honestly willing to tell him it won't work out if you all prefer not. No hard feelings. If I'm lucky, I'll get into his game without my bribery. Ha! Tell me what you think and be honest. My first commitment is to you all. I won't mess with your fun.
honestly ive always been a more the merrier sort of person when it comes to pbp, but im abivilent either way. so it doesnt bother me at all
I'm fine with it, but would he consider the Azata-Blooded (Musetouched) aasimar? Might be a little more human-looking, but we can work with whatever. I kinda like the mongrel approach.
I'm going to ask him to tone down the bestial appearance some. I don't want a manimal in the party.
I'm fine with it, but yeah, looking like a holy werewolf in these parts might be a problem.
As another alternative maybe a Scion of Humanity? I had one who didn't know he was an aasimar until his animal companion told him at about 7th level.
The new guy is dropping in with a half-elf cleric of Sarenrae with wicked-high Diplomacy, going for paladin at some point. His backstory actually has him in the tavern with you all right now, so he should be popping up any time.
His name is Richter. Welcome to the game, Richter.
Indeed welcome!
Hola!
Thank you everyone for the opportunity to be involved in this AP!
Richter's IC Post in his profile will set him up at Gibb's table.
Yeah, welcome! :)
It has been a while since I have done a PbP so please let me know if I step on anyone's toes with posting. I don't want to over post or cut anyone off.
I did not know what to do lol so I just butted in. I was going to wait but thought Richter may have a chance of getting us in.
No worries - if that's what Richter would do, you're good. Thanks!

What Morgrym said.
I will have a post up shortly, been a busy few sort of days with doctors visits and the like.
