Okay, I have my alt built.
Here's Lunarius, my wizard:
And here's the actual character.
GM, since these will be throw-away characters anyway, I've only copied the most relevant info to my header, and linked to the downloadable sheet for the full info. Of course GM, if you really want me to copy them over textually, I will do so :-)
Can you at least make sure your skills are listed in the character on the forum? That's the sort of thing I'm likely to need to check.
Okay, I have my alt built.
Can you please set up your characters various stats so they show up on each post like other people are? It's handy to be able to refer to everyone's current status when they post their actions.
Busy weekend, but I promise to have my character built and posted asap!
I have it in there. I just didn't get it put in the tagline cause I decided to go take a nap instead =P

Done!
Can anyone point out to me where the proficiency modifier is explained? I know it refers to the "Trained, Expert, Master, Legendary" but I can not find where those categories are explained to say what those bonuses are.
EDIT
Nevermind, I finally found that! Starting to get the hang of the book haha character should be ready tonight sometime.
Here is my character. I plan to work on the tag lines tomorrow, but meet Tolo Rockaxe, the Pharasma worshiping, grave digging, spirit barbarian!
Tolo is finished and reporting for duty!
(still considering dropping his armor to a lighter one... the armor check penalty is harsh haha)
So we have a Paladin, Bard, Druid, Wizard, and Barbarian? I'm just getting back to the forums after Gencon and haven't made my character yet. How is the druid at healing? Should I make a cleric to cover that base? My initial instinct is to make a Ranger, but I can make a cleric if we need the healing.

The Bard can cast Soothe, the Druid has Heal, and the Paladin has Lay on Hands. I don't think there's any particular reason to worry overly much about healing beyond that ;-)
Ok, Cool. I did play in two scenarios at Gencon, but both of them had cleric pregens in them, with no bards or druids, so I didn't have a feeling for the other healing options out there.
Ranger it is then!
FYI, I'm going to kick off the "everyone introduce yourself" portion of the game sometime this weekend, so we'll be able to actually start playing the first section on Monday. Looks like we've seen characters from everyone but yogadragon, so fingers crossed we'll be good to go.

I've got my Ranger built and ready to go. Will get an alias set up before we start.
Hey everybody, go check out the Gameplay thread ;-)
Just an FYI, I forgot that my family vacation coincided with the start of the gameday. I will do my best to nominally participte in this game this week, but it may fall by the wayside. I will be 100 percent back in starting next saturday, and should be able to post quite often after that. I hope this doesn't cause any major issues here. Still looking forward to it!
No worries Yogadragon, chime in when you can, I'll make sure not to wait an overly long amount of time for you ;-)
Just a quick reminder, I'm leaving on a cross country road trip tomorrow morning that will run through the beginning of September. I will still be online at various times, but far less consistently than usual (especially in the middle of the day). I will attempt to keep things moving along though, but bear with me.
Hey team! Sorry about the lack of updates - Paizo’s outage unfortunately was combined with some issues here at work and I’m having to put out some fires. I should go back to normal posting next week. Please feel free to bot me!
Woohoo site is still and and I think our GM was supposed to get from vacation yesterday so we might finally be moving again soon!
We should all check in real quick to make sure we didn't lose anyone with the outages. Tolo is here and ready rumble!

Still here, waiting for my hair cut ;-)
Yup!
Apologies for the radio silence. Between downtime and travel i was unable to do much of anything while on vacation. I'm back now though, so I'll get things moving later today!
Sorry for the delay, I've been feeling a bit under the weather and life has not been cooperating. Should get things moving again sometime in the next day or two.
No problem, make sure to get better first!
Hello GM Garrett, I understand that your life is really busy right now and that you are sick. Would it be better for you if I took over this one, and you can run the second playtest one instead. Maybe your life will of slowed down by then? Being a player is normally a bit less of a workload so you could play in this adventure with us, just sub Tolo for a character of your choosing.
Let me know your thoughts on this idea.
If you're up for taking it over I'd be happy to have you do it. Unfortunately, I don't have time to either play or run right now, but it does seem best to continue on with the game without me.
Do you think you will have time to run the next one after we finish this one up? And sure, it will be no problem to take it over.
I will need a day or few to read the adventure.
Thanks for helping out, Tolo, much appreciated!
Emailing customer service to get ownership of the thread now and I have messaged gameday leadership. I hope to get this on the road asap. At the latest, I will be caught up on reading by the weekend.
Thanks for your patience!
While I am reading the adventure, you guys should check out the updates in the download section. They changed some important things like getting rid of signature skills and changed how dying works.
If/when I get ownership of the thread, I will mark those people who are no longer involved as inactive so it isn't taking up space on your campaign page.
Yup, my family is excited to join. They're working on their characters now.
My daughter would like to know if she can spend some of her silver on minor healing potions. She's made a monk, so she has a ton of money and nothing she wants to do with it.

Hi! I am Amberly's daughter. I am happy to be playing! Thanks! I am just a little girl so no swearing please. Thanks!
I'm going to play a monk who is Amberly's sister. Her name is Annabelle and she has a rabbit familiar! She uses tiger stance! RAR! Haha. It will be fun.
Honestly, I was wondering that myself when I built my character. There is no Society handbook like there there is for 1st edition. I am going to say that you can buy magic gear with your starting gold, including potions.
Also, welcome Annabelle! I will keep it family friendly. I will get you into the game as soon as we start the next part of the adventure (after the current combat).

Hi! I am Meloriel's son. I will be playing Old Wrinkleface! He's an ancient goblin and Cheiftain of the Secrethouse Tribe! He's a rogue who uses a mace as a cane.
"Oh, bones ache! Bones ache! Ache they do! Yes!"
Awesome! Thanks.

Hey there. I'll be the last player. I'm bringing a half-orc cleric of Sarenrae who uses tough-love and intimidation to force evil-doers to repent and convert to the Dawnflower's faith. Because some folks need a beating before they see the light! (He sure did). I'll have my profile up by tomorrow. Just having trouble deciding on a name and image.
So glad to meet you all! We are almost done with part 1, so we will be introducing you all shortly!
Speaking of which, we need to pick the next part! There are two options. The descriptions of the parts are on the first slide of the maps slide.
I vote for the kobolds next! I am so excited!
Yeah, I'm cool with kobolds. Into the sewers.
I vote kobolds.
For the next two weeks, I'm travelling a lot. Will be posting when I can, though...
Have a good trip(s)!
FYI, I just got my character updated to version 1.3 of the playtest. My kids and husband will follow suit within the next day or so.
Yeah, I was going to read that today. No rush, as long as updates are made before we move to part 3.
Hello everyone. This weekend is Thanksgiving so my family and I will very likely be unable to fit in a post (but we'll try our best!). Feel free to bot us if needed. We’ll be back to regular posting on Tuesday. Sorry for holding up the game. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you have a great weekend!
Untrained proficiency dropped to level -4, and they changed death saves and skill DCs.
Some of the other changes that are interesting are:
The medicine skill got a boost, allowing you to heal up to 6 people with a success after 10 minutes an amount equal to their levelxtheir con mod, or your level, whichever is higher...
Rogues aren't just stuck taking dex to damage anymore (they have three different options that occupy the same design space...
Sorcerers don't have to take their advanced and greater bloodline powers, but instead get class feat slots they can buy them with...
Alchemist infused elixirs don't cost anyone resonance anymore: you or the person drinking them...
Monks get simple weapons now, so they can use ranged weapons...
Rangers lose double slice, but gain a couple of different feat options...
Fighters continue to be perfect, and thus need no change.
Aaaaand we're back! The rest of my family will trickle in this evening. We're willing to skip ahead to the important room in case my post wasn't clear. Haha.
BTW, in case anyone missed it, they dropped 1.4 updates this week (I want to say Monday). You can find the link for it here.
