Welcome to the discussion thread! You may wish to dot it for yourselves. Feel free to ask plenty of questions - whatever comes to mind.
I actually have one for you; do you know of a good online resource for doing maps on a hex grid? Generally, I do combat via description, though I find with a relatively large group, such a grid may help.
No suggestions, but I agree that we need some sort of map.
Dotting. I do not DM on here so I do not have a suggestion, though a few use Google Docs and also Roll20 or whatever its called.
Also, can I finish bying equipment with my starting gold or is it too late? I do not plan on buying anything magical outside of a few potions, just a few things to help flesh him out.
A grid is going to be extremely useful considering my 30 ft burst in combat. I have not found a good one, just throw together excel grids if I need it.
I'll give roll20 a look. Yes, go ahead and spend whatever gold you have left if your characters would have. Remember cash on hand is still cash though - it's not like it vanishes into thin air!

it works well for either, and the GM side of it is very intuitive, in particular the "fog of war" set up.
Also if you copy and paste drop the images from most paizo pdfs they show up without any markings =) I'm not sure if you can do hex map, but it's easy enough to snap a square map over it to any ratio you want.

No problem. Haggin would need to have some cash on hand to buy supplies for his craft so that was planned. I'll try to have that done by tomorrow night, not sure I can get to it tonight.
The information is appreciated, Shadowtail.
Has someone been watching the Philadelphia experiment?
Also on d20 you can give rights to each players model so only you and that specific person can move them... I've also found it easy to upload my own artwork.
If that's a reference to some TV/movie, no, for I watch little.
trying to figure out if I need gansuke to get into armor and weapons or not, I'm getting close to it... After the exposition that I hope comes from the first mate, I'll probably try and have someone help me into the armor and then nervously patrol the deck of the ship while we see what happens.
Also what are the dimensions of the ship, a 30ft channel might of healed alot of people.
Yeah, first mate's response will determine a lot of things. and hey, maybe my channel energy will heal people's hearing.
Saladraxis, how can you flurry with a crossbow? Crusader's flurry is for melee weapons.
Wow you know I missed that one word. I don't know how but ouch. That kinda ruins my whole set up.
GM override? It is a very cool build. And your RP so far has been a lot of fun.
Zen archer would require alignment shift and is bows only. I would have to go Sohei and wait till 6 to flurry with crossbow. And still require alignment shift. Willing to make whatever rework GM Always asks of me. I feel a little foolish for missing so important a word as melee.
Just not the character. She is working hard to be lawful and orderly but the damage of her upbringing still fills her with a rage and self loathing she sometimes acts on. So RP reasons, which in my opinion is the more important.
I'm just going to post here in the discussion thread, because none of this really belongs in gameplay.
I've already apologized, but I'll do so again. I'm sorry. If you feel it is still a problem, then simply disregard my post. I did not mean to commandeer the game. I do feel, however, that "Ariston decides he doesn't want to wait" is unfair. It wasn't out of impatience with the pace of the game that inspired it. I just thought it was easier than the continued separation of the characters. It was meant to be said after whatever Wald's response might be, timeline-wise.
And I've been following the stereotype that the captain lives right beneath the helm as well.
It's fine, we just need to keep the continuity, to use Saladraxis' word. And yes, that wording was strong but it was an IC view, so how it showed up to the characters. I thought you had good intentions, just a mismanaged application.
But let's put it behind us and if it fits with Wald's response play from there.
I think that we are all on the same page regarding the necessity to gather in one location. I also thought of the Caprtain's Quarters as on the Deck beneath the helm, as well.
Might be a moot point anyway, it's almost Driisten, the silencer of sobbing first mates who won't take over the captainship, time. Beware the personality shift d3 roll.
Sorry about the delay. Power outages are fun.
Saladraxis: You may switch to Zen Archer without the alignment restriction and apply the ability to a crossbow if you desire.
The assumption is correct regarding the captain's position.
A channel energy will help half the crew alive.
By the way, have we regained our hearing yet? Does using the wand do anything to me?
Because I will never repeat the feat, I want to point out that I just max rolled 3 times in a row. INT check (20), 1d2 personality check (2) and cure light wounds (8)! That's the highlight of my pathfinder career.
OK will make changes to crunch as soon as possible.
@Dristen LOL, well its early yet!
@Saladraxis I'm glad your concept is intact. Curious to see it in action.
Those deaf have not yet regained their hearing. Don't worry though; it's very likely you will.
The wand does not affect you negatively nor in any way remarkable.
The charge value I gave of 14 was after the energy channel.
GM, what was that you said in recruitment about party strife? Also, I was about to say there's no way Sal would react this way but without hearing there isn't warning. This hearing this is going to kill us all.. never going to take the oracle deaf curse now.
Way too much of an overreaction! I would have gladly talked it out with pen and paper, but now you have attacked me. That will not be acceptable.
No offense but have you ever been deaf in what you consider a hostile environment. I am guessing not as I do believe you would not be saying way too much of an overreaction. If we had hearing this wouldn't have been an issue, but we have to work within the constraints of the current predicament. I'm going to wait for the rest of everyone in the captains quarters to react to the situation at hand.
Also if we had a conversation about the situation it would have gone something like this, I just want to let you know I am going to have Sal attack Filios as reaction to what has happened. This is a classic friendly fire situation after an ied and as I see it, it is the proper response as far as the character is concerned. Then either you would have said that's cool you do know I am going to have to defend myself as Filios has been left no other choice at that point. At which point I would say I expect nothing less in the spirit of RP.
Or you would have said that isn't cool man I think that is screwed up and party conflict you just trying to start trouble. At which point I would explain the situation from character stand point, trust me deaf plus unknown people plus hostile environment can and will equal reaction.
Or you would have said no man let me go back and erase or change my post. At which point I would have pointed out what is the point of rp if we go back and change are posts every time we don't like the outcome. Then I could use the threat of bad outcome to get you to play your character how I wanted and I would never presume to tell another player how to run their character. Imho I believe some times we have to roll with things, in rp as in life you shouldn't be able to erase decisions, although I do make exceptions for those cases when it is an honest mistake of confusion over a muddled post set.
Although now that we are on the subject, how did Filios notice the bottle and notes if he was dealing with Wald and then going to find out about cargo. Also how did you figure out it was elvish, I can't even tell the difference between English and Deutsch on a piece of paper in someones hands if I'm not like creepily over their shoulder already.
I will apologize for the fact that I may have reacted to a post without checking to make sure that said post even made sense and for that I am sorry. If I had noticed I would have asked the how the heck questions in ooc instead of reacting in character.
I am standing in the room with you watching and waiting for Wade's response about the manifest. If the GM wanted only you to know what you found, then a spoiler would have been appropriate. I had no idea your character was also deaf. Also, let us remember you are the aggressor over grabbing a bottle and speaking some words. If any post should be retracted, it should be yours. I am not a fan of party conflict. In fact, I have been able to avoid such "friendly fire" for over 25 years of table top gaming and at least three of PbP. I am not sure how the others will react, but someone needs to stop this fight because my PC surely will not.
I can see this playing out fine IC as it did. Everyone's jumpy, Saladraxis has been consistently more so, and someone spooked her by reaching around and trying to grab something. The one problem would be how Sal is a follower of Abadar's teechings, who is primarily described as patient. First sentence
I'm trying to present an avenue for doing that now, not sure where it will go from here though.

Sir I congratulate you on 25 years of never playing Paranoia. On a more serious note I already took full responsibility for my post when I posted it, I expected you to react the way you did in character. Come what may I stand by the reaction.

Yes he frowns on impulsiveness, but we are not perfect. That being said he doesn't say in cases were you do have to make a quick decision you sit down and contemplate till it is too late to react.
Haggin
Thank you sir and I do hope your ploy works, we will see what we see.
Indeed we shall. Yes, Thanks, Haggin.
Well, this is most interesting. Hope you all make it out in one piece. I'll make a post as soon as the results of Quiahar's saves are revealed.
It does seem a bit over reacting. Remember that regardless of how you think your character would react you are the one responsible for creating the character and ultimately you created a concept that reacts this way
Well, I have acted in a manner that opens up an opportunity to put an end to this foolishness.
