Discussion Thread
I'll do what I can to make some audit notes here.
Fraejia, please fix your AC and HP (13 and 24 respectively).
I will spend some time double checking mine and adding details on the abilities tomorrow as well. It was getting pretty late and I wound up altering my ability scores AFTER I had everything statted up (dropped Str a little to boost Cha to better fit concept). I think I cascaded all the changes correctly, but I wouldn't be surprised if I missed something.
I need a picture for Atirian. If anyone else wants to use a pic other than their avatar, please post a link.

Sorry, give me a bit to manifest. I may have misunderstood a few things in recruitment.
"feat for everyone else" - so at lv 1 we get 2 feats?
"All PCs may choose from available-to-race favored class options for each class at each level. Prestige Classes may choose a normal option-HP or SP- or choose from among the options available from the classes that qualified them for the Prestige Class. This rule supplants the normal rule for favored class."
Can a human take a half elf FCB or not? Else I may need to do some tweaking like changing Atirian to half elf.
Also for fast learner - once I select the FCB, I can't take any hp or skill bonus, correct?
Am here, Jaxel's on his way.
Here's Jaxel, isn't he the cutest, fluffiest doggy ever?
Avatar is fine with me for a token.
Fixed my HP (thought I had already done that).
My AC is correct however due to:
Shroud of Water Element(s) water; Type defense (Su); Level —; Burn 0
You surround yourself with a shroud of water, ice, or both that protects you from harm. The shroud can either cover your body, functioning as armor, or float around you and block attacks, functioning as a shield. It grants either a +4 armor bonus to AC or a +2 shield bonus to AC, and you can change the type of bonus as a standard action. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 kineticist levels you possess beyond 2nd. By accepting 1 point of burn, You can increase the bonus by 1 until the next time your burn is removed. You can increase the bonus multiple times in this way, but it can't be increased by more than 50% of its starting value.
When you change the shroud to grant a shield bonus, any bonus in excess of this limit doesn't apply, but it remains if you change the shroud's bonus type again. Whenever you accept burn while using a water wild talent, the water coalescing around you allows your shroud to grant both the armor bonus and the shield bonus for 1 round. You can dismiss or restore this effect as an immediate action.
It's gained at second level as a class ability. If you want me to pull it off for now saying I'm, just to worn out to manage it then I will.
Also, I'll work on a stat line when I get home from work today.
* EDIT
Also, that's a good question, are we able to understand each other from some "universal translator" feature or only if we share a racial language somehow?
I don't think there's another picture I want for Aurexil, so avatar is fine.

Aurexil and Artirian are both from Golarion, I believe, so their Common should be the same--hence why I've responded to him. But yes, I'm definitely wondering this for the rest of the group, since I don't think anyone else is from the same planet. (Balazar could maybe be from the Darklands of Golarion? I couldn't tell from my skim of his backstory if he is or not. But the Darklands might as well be another planet)

Especially being one of the PCs not from Golarion, it would impact my first reaction. Might be interesting at first with language problems, but definitely not for long. Either way, I will be sure to post this afternoon.
Avatar is fine for token. If i find a nicer pic I'll let you know.
Kinda waiting on posting again until I find out the status of understanding each other or not. My common certainly isn't the same common the rest of you have.
Also, I realized that I forgot my basic kinesis utility talent, it has been added in.
Third times the charm.
Aurexil and Artirain speak Golarion's common.
Neve and Fraejia may speak a "Galactic Common" trade tongue from an area that has limited space travel capabilities since they both have that kind of background.
This leaves Aefpakka out in the cold coming from Kasath.
Thankfully, Aurexil shares the Draconic tongue with the Guru and the Auran tongue with Fraejia and betwixt all that there can be some degree of communication.
The AP does have a planned solution for communication issues, so while it will provide a temporary additional burden/challenge, it will not be a permanent problem.

No worries! AefPakka is a bit of a linguist! Xenopidgin campaign trait activate! :)
Does Jaxel pop - i.e 1 min passed?
Just realised me and Aef are the only guys among all you pretty ladies ^^
If it helps, I'm female in RL.
I realize the languages that I chose for the elements might not sound like their descriptions in reality, I just thought the written versions looked good. I've been putting the language I use for the text in my alias for ease of reference.
Ive moved you guys on the screen now that I still have access to Roll 20. Neve to get as many dudes as possible(I marked out your colourspray), and Fraejia to do the blast.
I didn't pick a language for Aklo. I figure it'd just look like Wingdings :p.
GM question:
Xenopidgin: While many people dabble in a wide range of hobbies, you’ve explored a wide range of languages and dialects. When exposed to a new language, you may make a Linguistics check against a DC of 15. If successful, you gain a very rough understanding of the nuances of such conversation. This understanding only amounts to an informed hunch, but is usually enough to give the same level of understanding as a human toddler would be capable.
What would you rule as time frame for that? Would it just be initial exposure, so I can already make checks for the various language we are speaking (including the bahgra)? Or would it take a certain amount of time?
I guess it comes down to, is it learning the real basics of a new language quickly (which would take at least a little time), or is it immediately recognizing certain similar roots and possibly obvious commonly used words like "I" and "You" (which can happen pretty much right away)?
I didn't want to roll some checks without first getting your interpretation.
The way I see it, you can pick up "toddlerspeech" in about one or two minutes of conversation, so you'd be able to convey simple/primitive messages to anyone in the room at this point.

Awesome, thanks!
Reminds me of the last time I was buying clothes in a country they didn't speak English. There was a lot of gesturing of bigger, smaller, different colour and thumbs up, thumbs down, to get the message across. And the calculator to show the price.
Edited.
Its actually better if Jaxel goes first. He has halfway decent AC. Also I noted you were talking about glaives earlier. I take it you aren't the sort of person who finds reach weapons blasphemous to the melee arts? I did contemplate a combat reflexes reach build, but it's hard to pull off without group cooperation, and I'm not sure how eveyone feels about it. Ranged classes will probably complain ;)
The problem is, the door was specifically noted to not have a handle in the first post. ;)
To the north stands a door bereft of hinges or handles, while a green, three-inch circle slowly blinks on the wall next to it.
I suspect the circle is a button of some sort that we need to press, but Aurexil is probably going to be stumped by that. I suspect one of our more tech-savvy members might have to point it out.
Aurexil would want to go first because she sees herself as tougher. She doesn't know that Jaxel is hardier than an ordinary dog.
And yes, Aurexil is planned to use reach weapons extensively. Otherwise her slapping tail is kind of wasted... and besides, the mental image of a polearm-wielding wyvern-lady is just too awesome to pass up.
Sorry! Too busy greeting new peeps! Will get to knowledge checks later!
Sorry guys, I'll get an updated map somewhere and get a post or two in tonight after work.
Now, if only Fraejia would say something before we opened another door... XD
I'm trying to remember if you've defined what our 'important' items are?
Considering we're getting some pretty expensive goodies can't we just get all of our old stuff back?
Neve would like to get her chain shirt back if we're picking and choosing.
Edit: DM, should we post a list of our old possessions and you can let us know what we found in there or not?
Neve, you may be one of the only PCs that was created with possessions (given that you were created for another game.)
"Important Items" included things like familiars, spell books, etc-things you could not actually do without and still function as your class.
If people would rather spend 1000gp on equipment, we could do that.
Most likely anything too mundane like rations, torches, etc. would have gone into general circulation instead of being put in the "locker", which was designed to re-equip you after whatever fate your captors had in mind for you (you know, when you'dabeen working for them :)
I'm fine with the handful of items for each of us you listed in the gameplay thread. I was suspecting that was what you meant by 'important' items, but wasn't sure.
Fair enough. I forgot about the legacy part of Neve's character sheet.
Can Neve find her combination MapMaker's Kit/Compass? Basically it's a tablet that gives the navigational bonuses of those two things. Sentimental value. Otherwise she doesn't need anything to function.
For masterwork item and mundane gear. Is there some sort of blaster type weapon Neve can find? Or should she just get a crossbow?
The combo kit is fine.
If you want, you can have a laser pistol or zero pistol instead of the magic item. It will only have 3 "clips" (30 charges), but you will get the exotic weapon proficiency to use it for free also, and you may be able to find more batteries/clips later on.
This is a very "expensive" item, but really essentially a wand that does fire or cold damage with a touch attack. And it would NOT cost that much in a high tech world, like the one Neve comes from.
The same could be said for me as well, given Fraejia's high-tech background. Still, I don't really need anything to be effective. Ah the joys of the kineticist, strip 'em naked and throw them in a cell and they're still a significant threat.
I'll work on what I find later on.
Ooohh.. Thanks for the generosity. Excited to get deeper into scifi Pathfinder before Starfinder becomes a thing :)
Found item: Combo kit.
one minor magic item: Zero pistol with 3 clips
one masterwork item: MW Backpack
Other pieces of mundane gear: Chain Shirt
And that's it. Heck that puts me at near Medium carrying capacity already!
I just need my spell component pouch back heh. Some studded leather/chainshirt is fine, otherwise Jaxel covers the rest.
I think maybe we should skip the growling door and explore the rest?
What do you guys think? Maybe we should explore the other parts of the place?
Assuming we don't have any difficulty getting our gear (the way the door is malfunctioning might or might not require some kind of check to get through), Aurexil would agree with trying other doors, since that door seems hard to open.
Updated sheet. Neve is really happy with the AC bump.
Problem is I don't see in gameplay thread indications of door opening or us getting our stuffs.
It's in a spoiler box, the door is stuck moving between half way closed and full open. You can just walk under it.
You see - the spoiler is for you, so without you telling us, I have no knowledge of it. I'll need some translations on what there is.
There is also armor and weapons belonging to others- such as the Bahgra-- in the room.
I think everybody's got their stuff?
Waiting on a reply to a pm about something before I have mine.
I need to finish picking mine! (Whoops!) But barring anything going wrong, I imagine AefPakka is all set.
