How many pcs do these adventure paths accommodate? I am in the process of putting one together for a play by post. Just need to know how many players to comfortably accept. Thanks for feedback on this. Cheers!
The official standard is four adventurers, each made with a point-buy of 15. The party could probably be stretched to five without too much in the way of changes, but three players would be under-manned (and probably require a DMPC to cover all roles adequately). Some GMs allow a 20-point buy instead of 15.
Just poking my nose in here to get it dotted.
Sorry bout that thought we could RP it a little. my bad.
Cant wait for the first posts.
It is a crummy time for me as I am at a conference all week long, but I will post at least once a day. Though it will be FAR below the posting rate that I will usually have.
If I jumped in too early, my bad...
Ill wait to answer to see how he wants us to go from here ;)
Your story starts now
Out of curoisity, is Thorvald part of this party?
If not, should someone tell him so?
Aha! Thanks for that comment Kylma!
I had been clicking the ' more' button, not the actual Discussion button. Obviously, now I have done so, I am able to get here...
Yeah, me too. As I discovered when I made that last post. Annoying, but work-around-able.
I am wondering if one of you would like to write in the Adventure log on OP. You will tell the story from your perspective. This person will have to have the extra time to do it and keep it up to date. Let me know if any of you are interested. Than you!
NEFG
If no one else feels so inclined, I will do so. I try to write such things at points when it seems to me it would make sense however, so when we have made camp for the night works but when we are in the middle of a combat that has for some reason taken fifty-plus posts & still isn't done doesn't.
That's what I'm looking for. No need to tell ones thoughts during a battle. Let's see if anyone else is interested before I hand over partial OP power. :]
I fully support you doing that, Grey, and I'm willing to pitch in, should it be needed.
By all means, please do so Grey, and thanks. Also, if any of you are interested in an Evil PbP at Level 4, please check out "Blood Knives" and jump in the Discussion Thread. We recently lost some players and are looking to move forwarded with a very interesting game thus far.
I have been doing construction on our OP site. I included a link to our gaming tab here on Paizo. Thought it would be useful
Great idea!
sweet
Grey, I have given you co-game master status, and I trust that you won't go into the gm only material. :)

Ahem...
Gotcha.
Long have the people of the Frostwolf following known that all halflings are just goblins waiting to happen.

Also, somebody else directed me here, so it looks like the answer to my question is no. Considering I am discovering a radically increased utility to my SM SLA the more I play summoners, it doesn't bother me that much.

Considering how often you get to USE your SM SLA and the minutes-per-level duration, I'd probably roll a summoner without his Eidolon for long stretches.

Yeah, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that what many say about Master Summoners being the most powerful of the Summoner Archetypes is accurate, it just happens to be the Archetype I have the least interest in from an RP standpoint, although in my RW Tabletop game I might consider it... PbP, I really enjoy the potential character interactions between the Summoner, the Eidolon & the other party members, even if RAW a Synthesist Eidolon wouldn't really have a 'character' per-se; which is why I still play Great Mastiff as having a personality somewhat separate from Grey's.
Back to the whole SM SLA class feature, something like that is pretty much what I was imagining when I first heard the Class Name before I ever even read the description in the APG.

Yes, I'd imagined a wizard hyper-specialized in conjuration, sort of. I'm designing a Master Summoner right now to be that guy, in fact :)
hey all back in town and can get posting regularly
Forgive me if I sound dumb, but what does SM SLA stand for?
Summon Monster Spell Like Ability
Kilain: below the text window there is a button marked 'How to format your text', if you press that button it will open up & show you a number of formatting tricks, including how to get the spoiler tag to say something other than spoiler. The short answer is type spoiler=ooc when you would normally just type spoiler.
Kylma, the Kellid language is called Hallit & Grey will be wanting to learn it from you next level. Considering that what few humans living in Irresen are probably Kellids, we might all want to pick it up before too long.
Who says you're going to Irresen? heheheheheheh
Thanks Nylissa
Dorvren speaks it. but none of you ever talk to him :( Poor lonley rogue
:P
That's what happens when you steal. You lose your law abiding friends. Lol
I probably missed it in that insane week of the conference. I was on phone posting only and usually only got to check posts for about 2 minutes at a go.
But for now lets say that he was too scared to speak to you. He is super shy

Typical Qadiran. Too shy to speak, and wonders why nobody talks to him.
aye, that be why their skin is darker...from holding their speak
Has anyone read Winter Witch by Elaine Cunnigham? If so, is there any mention of who the winter witches worship for gods? Kjell you must have, your character's name is in the beginning of the book!
I haven't read it, but I would suspect the obvious choices would be Gozreh & Nethys, possibly Asmodeus &/or Zon Kuthon for the really evil ones. Paizo does seem a bit lacking in suitable 'Winter Deities' now that you mention it.
Grey, I made a spot for you to write your story. It's called Grey's Journal. Use that instead of the Adventure Log.
Well as long as I have till the 30th when Paizo releases Irrisen Land of Eternal Winter. I also just looked at the preview for part 5. Why would they take a fantasy setting and place in 20th century our world? I really was hoping none of you chose guns for ranged weapons because I don't feel they represent the fantasy world to me. It's just crazy!
i have read it but i dont recall any gods specifically
Sorry, just a whacky coincidence. I have not read it, and I do not know the answer, but I will dig.

Cool, I will look it up. Unfortunately I have a tone of family & household stuff land on me for the rest of this week so it is unlikely I will post in the journal before Monday at the earliest.
Frosty I think the rogue talent gun training just got very attractive! :P

By part 5, do you mean the fifth book in the AP? From a mechanical perspective, we are going to be in our low teens level-wise.
Let's see, Kjell & Kylma will be rockin' 3+ attacks every 6 seconds...
Kilain & I will be able to call/summon angels & other deific heralds...
Not to mention the fact that if I get really stupid with the Evolutions I can almost re-make myself as 'Iron Man'
Honestly, Dorvren picking up a six shooter or even a 45' at that point is going to be more "Oh good, you've caught up..." than 'Gah! Unholy firespitting demon weapon!!!"
Maybe I'll mess with the 20th century and WW1 will be fought with snowballs and sticks!
Wasn't that about what the Russian Army WAS using in WWI?
