I really like the character, cool background. Brawlers are really fun! They fit PBP very well since the format gives you time to look at the dizzying amount of feats and pick ones best suited for each combat.
One thing though, your character will be doing the planning. I don't mind playing the sneaky rogue who has the initial plan perhaps but you'll have to do most of the planning. That is part of the fun, don't you think?
I don't think I could ever play a character with INT as the dump stat. I realize that she'd be doing the planning but she may need to idea brought to her initially because she would have that foresight. She's not an ideas person but a logistics person. Her build may be a little challenging but I'll make it work. 20point buy, correct?
'Not ideas but logistics' is a really good way of putting it.
20 point buy is correct.
Do you want me to make a new game thread for this?
I am planning your friend's game. Do you have any insight into stuff she hates/likes/enjoys?
New game thread may be helpful if it's not too much trouble.
Angie's never really expressed specific hates/likes/enjoys when it comes to gaming. In real life I know that she hates spiders and likes snakes.
I would say that game-wise we probably are similar which is probably why we like playing together. I haven't RPG'd in real life with many people but she's one of them.
Ok, I'll make a new one. We can re-use this one for Shalina Season 2?
I think so. I wouldn't inactivate it. It would be nice to have what happened previously available in the same thread.
Link= HERE.
Goodnight, Unknown Shadows. We shall return!
*flicks lights on*
And we are back!
Yay!
When you get back from your visit, we'll get this game going back in high gear.
So, I have a few questions. What do you think Shalina has been up to the last few years? Obviously you are bound a bit by plot, ie, the Chelish are in Osirion. I imagine Shalina isn't happy about that?
Tekk has been busy running his temple to the Old Gods and dealing with his own demons while Ankraten has been trying to re-found his Order of Sarenrae.
What do you imagine Shalina has been doing? I have a hard time imaging her just sitting around eating grapes!
You are correct in that Shalina isn't happy that the Chelish are in Osirion but since everyone is nice to her, I'm not sure if she'd know the extent to which they're mistreating everyone and stealing from the country.
I figure that she has been doing research/studying during this time, satisfying the archaeologist's curiosity and need for knowledge. She was also concerned about what happened to the Gardner after the palace imploded so she would have probably tried to find that out as well. Those are the two main things that I see her having done. Probably holed up in libraries for most of her days or out chasing down leads.
She probably would have made a trip back to Wati to check in on her family. And she'd help out Tekk and Ankraten with whatever they needed.
Sorry, was in NYC for the weekend. Back now.
No worries. Still visiting with Angie. We leave Wednesday for a couple nights stay at a Medieval camp called Good Knights Entertainment.
Pretty awesome to be back in the saddle again.
I hope you don't mind going back into the ring with Tekk at your side. I promise we will meet some new NPCs.
Shalina cares deeply for Tekk and would be hugely disappointed if he didn't join her. I don't mind one bit about Tekk joining Shalina on her new adventure :)
I should make you ally with a gunslinger.
Haven't we already been there, done that? Of course it was under duress but she was an ally of Baskir, in a way.
Hopefully you're busy and not put-off by my last post...Shalina was just venting.
Thanks for the heads-up, must have missed the notification.
As for the gear, how about I just give you a lump sum and you buy/refill/whatever out of that?
That sounds fair :)
After some math and rough calculations, how does 2000 gold sound?
I'll take what I can get :)
The one man band thing is actually pretty clever, I must admit.
I really wanted to give him a harmonica on the little neck stand but thought he may faint.
I updated her gear with 2000gp worth of potions and scrolls as well as replacing a few items in her gear that had been damaged. I realized that she actually has quite a few weapons which I didn't realize since she usually uses her glaive or heavy crossbow. If you want her to get rid of the rapier or longsword, she can.
No, you might need them. Who knows what the pirates seamen might ask for?
There will be no posts until Paizo says the forums are working again. Don't want anything lost.
Sounds good :)
I'm going to need to do a round-up post to make sure we both remember everything.
Totally understandable. Hopefully Paizo has gotten their ducks in a row rather than letting their squirrels loose at a rave.
Good to be back!
You know it!
So, I need some context in the geography. I always assume that the roads in and out of cities are fairly well traveled. What would their options be for coming from? Surely Shalina's home isn't the only thing in that direction :)
I simply imagined that for moving between cities people generally traveled by water, due to the harsh deserts of Osirion. The road used to lead to outskirt towns and farming villages but those have all be destroyed/wasted away. There are probably cites along the road but far away.
Was this not clear and unfair?
Not unfair, I just misunderstood. I would have maybe approached it somewhat differently had I realized that there wasn't much this way except Shalina's house. Which begs the question...where do they think we're coming from ;)
Going book shopping today, maybe no post.
Up and down site anyway *grumbles*
Oooooh books! Have fun :) If you find anything cool, please share the info.
Being the long weekend (at least in Canada) I assumed posting would slow anyways over the weekend. If the site stays up, that is. I feel like an old person yelling at clouds for all the grumbling I've been doing over the last couple weeks about the site.
As for books...
A history of the British Empire
A book about the last ditch attempts to avoid the american civil war
Book about the battle of the Somme
Book about American Civil War Generals
My wife grabbed a few fiction ones.
City of Brass
Ocean at the End of the Lane
Lore
Spinning Silver
I always forget that other people enjoy reading non-fiction :) Just a little light reading, yes?
Since she doesn't have the perform skill, would it just be a charisma roll?
That works for me but unless she rolls very well, she probably won't be very good at it!
Whats 'very' well?
Hmm.
I'd say a high Charisma role would get you to be a passable untrained singer. A low role would be a poor untrained singer. Below a 5 is actively bad.
This is hilarious since Shalina is a bard, of a sort.
Thank goodness pirates tend to be less evil in fantasy then real life!
Excellent timing!
There will be no posts from Monday, September 10th to Friday September 14th, as I will be in the wilds of Sequoia National Park.
Have fun!
Back, but jetlagged. Post up today or tomorrow.
Ready for some nautical adventures? Last time we skipped over the traveling but I think we might have some fun this time!
I'm always ready to develop new skills :) Singing and sailing? Shalina will have quite the diverse skill set.
I'm always one who believes the journey is just as important as the destination :)
