Out of character discussion goes here. Once you've decided on a character, please post the following info so I have it for reporting at the end:
1) Name
2) Character name
3) Faction
4) PFS #/Char #
5) Regular or slow progression
6) Roll your day job
7) Anything weird I should know about your character?
GM Dennis |
There are some great resources for setting up your profile and playing PbP HERE. I'm also happy to answer any questions.
Wertlos Kurz |
Here's an example of one of my PbP character profiles, to get an idea of what it may look like.
Zach Davis |
1. Zach Davis
2. Reshu
3. Concordance
4. 91173-18
5. Regular progression
6. No Day Job
7. Change Size (Su)
Source Blood of the Beast pg. 28
One Vanara in every 500 is gifted with limited shapeshifting ability. Such a creature can adjust her size at will. She gains the change shape ability and the shapeshifter subtype. Instead of changing appearance, she can use change shape to reduce her size category to Small. Her ability scores don’t change, only her size (and thus her weapon damage); normal size penalties and bonuses to AC and CMD and on attack and skill rolls apply. Changing size or returning to her true size is a fullround action. This racial trait alters the Vanara’s type and replaces nimble.
Lysle |
Thanks for leaving a seat for me at the table!
1) Name: Lysle
2) Character name: I have a few to pick from (will wait until I get a better sense of the party make up)
3) Faction: see # 2
4) PFS #/Char # 90900-?
5) Regular or slow progression regular
6) Roll your day job see # 2
7) Anything weird I should know about your character? Most of my characters are fairly "normal". The weird stuff you really ought to know is about this player.

I have a target start date of this coming Monday. Does that work for everyone? Does anyone have questions about setting up PbP profiles? Zach, what class is Reshu?

Reshu is a Shaman with the Heavens Spirit. This is my first Shaman, and my first pbp so it feels like I'm figuring out how to build him twice.
Cool. If you haven't yet, try to get a profile created for him this weekend, then post dot in the Gameplay thread using that profile. You can use the actual PFS character profile (found under Organized Play -> My Organized Play), or you can use a messageboard alias profile (My Account -> Account Settings). If you're not 100% set on the name, I'd recommend an alias, as you can't change the name once you've posted 10 times.
GM Dennis |
Once you've created your character, please also enter your perception and initiative modifiers into the blocks in the MAPS (also linked at the top of the page and in my tagline).

Done.
If anyone has any unchained monk experience I'd love some advice! I've only played a chained monk, and that game fell apart after 2 sessions.
I've played a ton of monks, all of them chained. My recollection though is the only real changes are you lose some of the more eccentric higher level abilities, and you just plain have full BAB so you don't end up playing Schroedinger's bonuses when you might potentially kill something on the first hit.
So... basically save all your starting cash for a fancy shirt or buy some shuriken, pump up str, consider power attack, split the rest between dex and wis, maybe squeeze in the int for combat expertise and improved whatever, otherwise enjoy shopping for style feats?
Niocholu the Useful |
Okay, settled on a character.
1) Name: Lysle
2) Character name: Niocholu the Useful
3) Faction: Grand Lodge
4) PFS #/Char # 90900-17
5) Regular or slow progression regular
6) Roll your day job N/A
7) Anything weird I should know about your character? Niocholu generally uses improvised weapons, preferring to fight with a miner's pick or shovel.
Fareth Ramsden |
I think I'm all set!
1) Kate Baker
2) Fareth Ramsden
3) Liberty's Edge
4) 215650-13
5) Regular
6) No day job
7) Anything weird I should know about your character? I don't think so!
Luralyn Frimbucket |
Man, why's it so hard to find smiling men in the avatar list!
1) Andrew Mullen
2) Luralyn Frimbucket
3) Scarab Sages
4) 182256-3
5) Regular
6) No day job
7) If I punch someone twice in the same turn, I can bull rush them as a swift action that doesn't provoke AoOs
Luralyn Frimbucket |
I need to shop for torches, bed rolls, that sort of stuff, but I should otherwise be good to go!
Luralyn Frimbucket |
Welp, had no real idea of my backstory 'til 5 minutes ago—thanks, other PCs!
Quasar Bhatt |
Oh hey, double checking just now, I actually made a slight character throwing this character together. That should be ill-fitting studded leather I have, not a chain shirt. Forgot to update that when I was making last minute tweaks for the sake of future feats.
GM Dennis |
No worries. Now's a good time to catch that stuff.

Glad you're enjoying yourself! :D
And thanks, everyone, for bringing such good characterization to the table!
Luralyn Frimbucket |
Prepping a face-to-face session this morning, should be able to get a post up later tonight!
Cords and things on Luralyn's monk garb let him make I think 20' of rope, so he can help folks get into the pit.
GM Valen |
Will also post later when get to computer, but Niochulu has 50' hemp rope
GM Dennis |
An interesting chain reaction there. Fareth made her Perception check to notice his cloak, which led to offering it to him, which gave a bonus to diplomacy checks to change his attitude, which meant Reshu's check was enough to make him helpful, rather than just friendly, which meant he was willing to tell you what he knows of the carvings, which counts as an aid on your checks to decipher them, which means both Quasar and Reshu (each of whom had failed by 2) actually passed their checks.
At a F2F table that all would have happened differently, though it would have ended up at the same result.
Luralyn Frimbucket |
My first level PFS trend is playing out! I believe I went 3 scenarios on Oiur before I hit with an attack. I did at least get decent Knowledge rolls with them.
Luralyn's highest d20 roll has been a 9, with 3 as my most common result.
GM Dennis |
I think we're too far along to be adding another player at this point.
GM Dennis |
Quasar, it's my understanding that with a Kineticist, you can't fire beyone 30ft unless you have the extended range infusion. The kinetic blast is written differently than other ranged attacks, in that it doesn't list a range increment of 30ft, it says you can fire at a target up to 30ft (it's a spell-like ability, and more akin to a spell range than a ranged attack range). As you took the pushing infusion instead, you will need to get within 30ft of the minotaur to fire at it.
Kinetic Blast (Sp): At 1st level, a kineticist gains a kinetic blast wild talent of her choice. This kinetic blast must be a simple blast that matches her element. As a standard action, the kineticist can unleash a kinetic blast at a single target up to a range of 30 feet.
Quasar Bhatt |
Taking a close look at the range extension infusions, yeah, that seems to be the clear intent. I somehow missed those when throwing this together, and was just going off "Physical blasts are ranged attacks." The fun of trying weird new classes.
I'll have to change that out when I get the chance but, for now year I suppose I'll be revising that to a double move.
Luralyn Frimbucket |
Sorry for the delay, folks, dealing with some stuff—including hateful dice D:
GM Dennis |
Yeah, the beast has rolled two 1's and a 2 on four Reflex saves thus far.
GM Dennis |
That's three natural 1's out of five Reflex saves for this poor minotaur!
GM Dennis |
Just a heads up that we're traveling for a wedding today, so posting may be slow until tomorrow.
