Ok guys, first things first - we need time to get acquainted with PbP, and there is no place better to start than the Discussion thread.
Question #1: What characters are you playing? I know some of you are tired of playing level 1 characters, but I think we should start from the base - truth of the matter some of you already have a level 2 character but the others don't - while most PFS scenarios do accept combined players of level 1 and 2 (it is called tier 1-2 surprisingly), it may cause level 2 players to outshine those of level 1.
Let me know your thoughts, and also let me know (yes, again) what characters you intend to play.
Lets get this moving.
Make sure to check Pathfinder Society Additional Resources to confirm several details of what is legal and not for PFS play.
I will point out that there are several Summoner Archetypes that are not allowed - keep that in mind ;)
Example - Archetypes: broodmaster summoner, master summoner, synthesist summoner, from Ultimate Magic are not legal to play in PFS.
I think we should start with pregens, get a hold of the whole PbP thing, and take it from there, as you guys learn more about the game.
However, the link I sent was only for Kemsha to have an idea of what is legal and what is not, but we can discuss that easily enough right here.
In any case, the Pathfinder Society Player Resources holds all the necessary information, being that the Guide for Pathfinder Society Organized Play is the best reference - mainly the first five chapters - easy reading and a very good introduction - Chapter 2 details the Character creation process, so you can jump right into that one if you prefer, but I recommend reading all five of them.
If you are up for starting with a pregen, just let me know which one ;)
It is a good idea to start - let us wait for the others to chip in, so we can get this moving.
Greywolf, there is no need to post the full description of your character, since it is already on your profile ;)
So now... We are only missing everyone else...
I'm going to check your character.

Hi,
here's the link to my info: Mathallas
I'm still finishing up and will change a few things, but the general idea is there.
Wow, a burst of movement :D
I guess that makes everyone, since the last one is a premade - I will review your characters while you finish up polishing the details you still need to.
Character revision underway.
Some notes regarding our first game - even for those that have already played it, I think we could benefit from playing the Introduction scenarios - playing in PbP is VERY different than playing around the table.
The intros are nice exactly because they are a good way to start, both for you guys (RP is more intense in PbP, as well as using the forum mechanics), and for me as a GM (testing map construction, and also GMing in PbP) as well as for us to check how the game flows - what do you think?
Ok, so regarding Storm Greywolf:
- I need you to confirm your Favoured Class Option → I am assuming it is Ranger, but what is the Bonus you selected (+1 skill point, +1 hit point, +1 companion hit point, +1 companion skill point)?
- Your attribute points are overspent (22/20) – if you reduce your Wisdom from 14 to 13, the issue is solved;
- Your skills are a little off → I am getting the following values (only for skills with points): Climb +2, Knowledge (dungeoneering) +4 (+6 vs. humans), Knowledge (geography) +4 (+6 vs. humans), Knowledge (nature) +4 (+6 vs. humans), Perception +6 (+8 vs. humans), Stealth +5, Survival +6 (+8 vs. humans, +7 to track) – almost all are better than what you have...
- Also, on skills, depending on whether you chose the skill point bonus for your favoured class or not (see above), you may be missing a skill point here or not;
- I need to know your character faction. If it is Lantern Lodge think again, they do not exist anymore :D
- Storm needs to be registered on the Paizo site as a Pathfinder Society Character, so it will have a PFS ID number. I need to know that number;
- Reactionary and Anatomist are both Combat Traits – you can only have one trait of each type
This is all for now ;)
Who else has his character ready, so I can start checking it?
Ok guys, in the meantime I went ahead and made the first post in the Gameplay thread - this means that you can start RPing whenever you are ready.
Besides, after you make a first post in the Gameplay thread, a link to this PbP game will automatically appear on your character's campaign tab, allowing you to track easily wich campaigns you are in, and with which characters - very handy.
Gogo.
I will need a more final submission, from both Mathallas and Laerkai, so I can proceed with checking your characters.
Ok, Mathallas
So, here is my review of your character:
- Your faction is Osirion, correct?
- Your favoured class bonus is an additional hit point, correct?
- Your intelligence bonus allows you 5 extra languages - you have one too many;
- Your bonus to hit with the dagger in melee should be -1, due to your strength penalty;
- To have the trait "Ears and Eyes of the City" you need to be a follower of Abadar? Are you? Why?
- The "Drench", "Breeze", "Penumbra", "Scoop", "Jolt" and "Root" spells are not available to Pathfinder Society characters;
- In addition to the spells you know (in your spellbook), I need to have a list of the ones you have memorized;
- The only allowed Animal Companions from Serpent's Skull are the dimorphodon and the quetzalcoatlus;
- Your startting wealth should be 150 gold and not 70
I think that is all for now ;)
Kemsha, there are no Extra abilities. Here is the breakdown for Aasimars:
- Alternate Racial Traits - you can choose from these to replace your Standard Racial Traits
- Variant Aasimar Heritages - you can choose from these to replace your "standard" Aasimar heritage details, like stat bonuses, etc.
- Then you have the Variant Aasimar Abilities that you can roll, but as follows:
"The abilities presented here replace an aasimar's spell-like ability racial trait. Any abilities that grant spells or spell-like abilities are treated as having a caster level equal to the aasimar's character level."
By the way, it is all explained here:
Now I am only waiting for:
- Khalla, Storm and Laerkai to add their avatars to the profile;
- Storm to update me whether he has finished the corrections to his character or not;
- I will be reviewing Laerkai today [I wonder if this is the final version :D]
None of the above prevent us from continuing though, as soon as the introductory roleplay is done let me know ;)
Test
Do you want to replace your spell-like ability?
Yep - that is called a spoiler ;)
