A Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 1st to 5th level. We will be playing Tier 1-2.
A Pathfinder leading a diplomatic envoy from the dwarven holds of the Five Kings Mountains has gone missing, and the balance of power in a time of war hangs on her rescue. The Pathfinder Society's divinations indicate the agent was waylaid in the theocratic nation of Razmiran, when one of her escorted diplomats failed to pay a requested tithe. Now it falls to the party to enter Razmiran, locate the missing Pathfinder and the dwarven diplomats, and escape with their lives.

This is currently invite only campaign.
Looks great! If you want to shorten it, you could probably get away with but it also looks great as is.
Welcome to pbp!
We have confirmed a 5th player. Silbeg thinks he has a 6th. We start officially Monday the 12th.
Thus far we have:
Leevl 2 wizard
Level 2 magus/monk
Level 2 barbarian
what are the other three playing?

Sorry for ignoring this; I had completely forgotten I had voiced my interest. Stupid forum doesn't show games in which you've dotted only on discussion tab...
Kid's sitting on my lap, so I can't really concentrate on selecting the character and all that right now. The instant I have time I'll read everything and post accordingly.
You're good. We are getting ready to officially start tonight - you got time.

I still have to finish up all the purchases from my last adventure. That includes a wand of CLW at least.
No healer? Oh boy.
Purchase before adventure:
+1 enhancement to armor (1000 gp)
Wayfinder (regular 250 gp or shining 2PP)
2x short sword (20 gp)
After that he'll have some 800 gp left, open to suggestions.

"Lucious" Lucius Vizinni should meet Lionel "The Lion" Wynne.
They would get along nicely. Unfortunately Lionel's core.
Lucius can handle the wand use... he'll succeed on a 5+ roll! No wand is beyond the mind of Lucius Vizinni.
Quick question regarding this (and I'm asking not because I believe you're "cheating", but because I sometimes find I have long-held notions about the rules which many times prove to be incorrect... so I'm simply looking to learn something new).
Anyway, I was curious to discover how you'd gotten a +15 UMD at 3rd Level, so I took a peek at your character sheet (I hope that doesn't break any PbP etiquette). In doing so, I happened to notice your INT score is 22. I thought a character couldn't start with a stat higher than 20. Was I mistaken? I see you have the Venture-Captain boon and used that to increase your INT. Baruch also has that boon, but I applied it in such a way as to not exceed (what I believed to be) that cap of 20. As I haven't played the character at 2nd Level yet, could I rebuild it using that boon to get a stat to 22?
The wording of the rule in the guide implies you can go down to 7 or up to 18 via the purchase system. The additional rules regarding racial modifiers do not preclude a boon.
It's legal imo and from that i've seen on the boards.
As to UMD... clever wordplay puts UMD to Int.. not hard to get to 15 from there.
I'm constantly discovering I've made erroneous assumptions about the rules that place unnecessary restrictions upon my characters. I guess that's what happens when you get old and dozens of versions of dozens of systems start to run together in your memory.
Before we go any further, is everyone okay with playing tier 4-5 w/ four players adjustment?
Right now. We've got a 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and Mr Slanky - with his 5 we are 2.6 so up. If he plays his 2, we stay down.
Just putting it out there before we get into the meat.

I have no level 2. Have fun guys...
Seriously, I force this weekend's group to play up, or I force this group to play up. I'm out of characters again.
I could also step out. I'll leave the decision up to you all. Don't feel bad if it's "I don't want to play up", I realize that it's my desire to not make yet another level 1.
You have time for purchases until we get on the boat.
Playing up it is.

there is a little more work to be done on him, but he should be good to go for our purposes.
Gentlemen, I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to withdraw. I appreciate the invitation and all the fantastic help you've given me to get me started in PbP. Unfortunately, I just don't think I'm a good fit for this game at this time. Good gaming to all of you, though.

A ray-shooting sorcerer, and no snowball? (but since it'd deal electricity, it'd be an electroball!) Guess that's a nice change to the norm.
Unfortunately, I just don't think I'm a good fit for this game at this time.
I'm intrigued to know why. I'll live if it'll remain a mystery though.
