Nightflier's Land of Ice and Blood

Game Master nightflier

Here's the Discussion Thread, guys. Please post here.

Dagmar checking in.

My vote: I'm ok with you expanding the party.

Checking in, thanks for accepting me! I'll get Ragnar statted up to fit your requirements.

Dagmar checking in.

Thank you, Dagmar, but please vote in Recruitment Thread.

Statted up and ready for a look- just need to buy equipment.

Starting funds: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 1, 3) = 15

Velkirth checking in.

Karl, present and accounted for. I'm also curious what we're doing for starting wealth.

Character creation rules:

30 point buy.
Charisma is not a dump stat. Your charisma will be important for this game, so you are not allowed to bring it below 10 and you are encouraged to make it higher.
Starting hit points and gold are MAX.
Three traits from any Paizo or Open Design source.
You must choose one item, up to 5 gp worth, which is of special importance to you. This is not deducted from your starting gold. This item must not be weapon or piece of clothing.

Kari checking in. Will have full crunch done and up in the profile before the evening is out.

Just checking in. I'll finish shopping now that I know we have max starting gold and need to come up with a special item.

Adding a post to better watch the fun. *Bows*

Again, wishing every one all the very best.

Still working on Bjørn, or... whatever I will name the animal companion.

Anybody need some starting cash, or should I invest my phat loot in scrolls that will assist the party?

Velkirth is mostly built, gotta buy equipment and note final numbers.

Question nightflier regarding the traits selection. There are 2 traits that I like, one from Irrisen and one from the Land of the Linnorm Kings. Given the borderland nature of Velkirth's backstory would it be possible to take them both or should I only go with one? There is an amount of mechanics-based reasoning for this but I also like the flavor as well. Totally cool if you want me to stick with one only. Thanks.

Any of you can take any three traits from anything published by Paizo, but you better work it in your background.

Karl is statted up and equipped. Nightflier, I figure that the Elven Reflexes trait (Half Elf racial from APG) is pretty self explanatory. I worked Armor Expert in and it looks like the area around Jol (where Karl comes from) is pretty hilly, so I hope that covers the Highlander trait.

I also included info for the personal item, and a little bit about some of Karl's family in my profile. Please have a look and let me know if I need to change anything.

Also, glad to be gaming with y'all. I'm already pretty psyched about it.

So hears my character, I think I've covered everything, if I'm missing anything let me know, and thank you for letting me be in your game.

I think Ragnar's all set.

Dagmar is ready to go. :)

Well drat, I guess I'm almost ready to go. My last save apparently didn't work so I'll need to redo a few changes and my spell list again. :(

Then I'll be ready again.

Language question: Do we get both Skald and Common for free or just one?

Depending on your background, you get to pick one language as your starting language. So, you would get Skald and Zhen would get Tien, for example.

Should we all know each other already or will we be meeting for the first time IC?

You don't know each other. You will meet for the first time in the opening scene of the game.

Okay, the last details for Svalk are complete.

Checking in. Sorry for the late post. I've had unexpected holiday company these past few days and up through tonight so haven't been able to check the thread. I will have to build the character tomorrow evening (U.S. Central time zone) after company leave and I get back from work. If you need something sooner and would like to replace with someone more ready now that's understandable. Otherwise, I'll have Thorolf ready sometime tomorrow night.

Thanks

Sorry for late posting also out of town weekend just got back and will have it done as soon as possible.

Is that in addition to Common? Just curious if Karl gets Common, Elven and Skald as starting languages, or if I need a point in linguistics or a 12 Intelligence score to start with all three.

@Thorolf

You don't need to rush. I just wanted to know that you are paying attention to the game. You have several more days to finish everything.

Your starting language should be Skald, since that was the language you were raised listening to. Other languages you may take depending on your Intelligence.

Ok, was just clarifying that I will have to use one of my Intelligence given language slots on Common.

Well I was ready to go but then my profile seemed to erase itself. I'm re-entering the build info now.

Ok, since half-elves start play speaking common and elven according to the RaW, I just want to clarify that Karl should start play speaking Skald in place of Common. Sorry if I'm being dense.

Would a piece of jewelry be ok to take for the item of special importance?

Yeah, he is starting with Skald instead of Common.

Sure.

Ok Have some stuff up, my brother in law decided to get into a dumb bar fight and now in the hospital sorry for taking a bit to finish this character but will have it done by today unless something else happens today...

Guys, I would like to begin this game in two days time. Can everyone be ready?

I think I'm ready now. I'll have to check my sheet again and make sure all my changes were saved. I had to redo my spells 3 times cause they just wouldn't save.

I'm ready to go.

Ready to roll, unless you notice something I've forgotten.

Ready to go.

I'm good.

Nightflier can I use your version of fighter? The one that shows up in your profile and traits?

Just wondering about it most of the crunch is done, as well as skills, but I want to know this before selective the rest of my traits/feats.

Nightflier, what's your opinion on magic items as starting equipment?

Since Kari has scribe scroll, I thought she might have a few handy, but I don't want to overstep my bounds.

I'm all set.

Sorry, but no. This game will be Pathfinder standard. I may start another game that will use those rules. Although, you may want to check out my Midnight campaign.

AS long as you calculate the expenses in your starting wealth, I'm fine with that.

Okay, so

Ragnar Stolen-Voice
Dagmar Ragnasdottir
Svalk Norinson
Karl the Bastard
Shuo Zhen
Kari the Feytouched

are ready to be reviewed and

Caelin O'Hern
Thorolf
Velkirth Rimetongue

need more work, right?

Let me remind you, guys, that the game starts on Thursday. And I will need some time to review the characters. Those who are not ready in the next 24 hours will be left behind and I will continue with a smaller party.

Velkirth is ready for review as well.

Well Caelin is ready with pathfinder traits & class ^^ wishing to use some of your traits but otherwise I'm all done.
