Really must you ask, been here. ;)

Well it looks like our DM has vanished so I will be bowing out here.

:(

Should we maybe go seekin' another one?

Maybe we can shanghai one ta' be suitable to out need? (>_>)

Wishin' every one all the very best!

Did you guys lose a DM?

Seems like it.

*Squees* (^_^)

*Waves* @ GM Elton.

Hope ye find this bunch o' reprobates ta' ye liking. XD

Well, I've got to read your DM's logs to find out where ye' be.

Give me a summary of your characters so far. You might see some changes if I take over the task.

*Bounces to attention*

I be a Elf.

I be havin' a level in Monk atm, but plan on takin' levels in 'Barbarian' (Titan mauler) fer three levels and then takin' levels in 'Magus' (Kensai)

I haz a plan.

Lookin' forwards to bein' under yer command, Master GM Elton, Sir!

Very much cheers to all. (^_^)

Background and details in my profile. Aoro is the current captain of our newly taken ship, which has not been squibbed just yet. Due to a storm, some sea goblins, and ship damage. On an island looking for ship repair material at the moment.

Pure sorcerer and plan to keep it that way, has insane diplomacy mod and an aquatic bloodline. Let me know if you need more.

Cleric of Gorum. Stabby smashy and buffs.

Right now we are on Bonewrack isle and looking to fix our ship and sail off to the end of the book. (We are just approaching a wrecked ship to get materials) we had a fight at the stockade and picked up some npcs sailors to help crew the ship

We also fought some frogs.

As for how I am interested in the game going? Perhaps something more structured since I am aware the S&S is very sandboxy, it will help us keep focus. Not super railroaded, but a 'okay. Go here and here for the next plot but you can do something else if you really want to.'

As for leveling? As suggested by how the Ap guidelines 'When you reach the temple of Cars, you should be level 5'

Hello,
I'm Gene Deathcraft
My class is gunslinger and my race is human.

Gene's background was posted to the last gm in a private message and it looks like i never got around to posting it in his description. I'll do what I can to find that message bu, I think its lost so I shall work on a new one.

(This is my second character this game the first was a Oracle of life that died.)

He never gave you any xp?

We don't really get xp, we get told when to lvl up.

Torque came in after the last lvl up so has yet to lvl I think. Correct me if mistaken.

If you are this far along, you should all be level 4, after all, you should be level five by the time you reach the temple of Cars, then you really should be level 4, since you are on the last leg of Skulls and Shackles, no. 1.

So we should level up then I take it?

Yep. Level up.

Will do that tonight*Mph grunt*

We are level 2 so we lvl up to 3 or 4?

Just to be clear. xZ

I do believe level 4.

Ahhh... I'm glad to see that you've managed to find another GM. It makes posting this a bit late, but easier none-the-less. I'm trimming down games on the boards to see if I can slim it down to something I can handle given my current state. Unfortunately, I was going to be dropping this one anyways, so you all finding another GM means that it can continue. I'm happy to hear that. :)

If there's anything that GM Elton needs from me to take over or anything that will make it easier, please let me know. I've been keeping an eye on the boards, just unable to push through the anxiety to post. I wish you all the best.

*Does happy dance @ receiving mew levels* (^_^)

*HUGZ @ DM Bound Shade* Thank'e fer yer efforts an' tha' time ye did give us. Hope things smoothen out fer y'self.

Which skill are you going to retrain?

Craft (tattoo) ranks into something else. Sorcerers have so little skill points.

Craft (tattoo) ranks into something else. Sorcerers have so little skill points.

isn't making tattoos the whole point of your character concept? Are you making the craft tattoo skill stronger or weaker?

The only reason I had ranks in it was to get the inscribe tattoo feat but it uses spellcraft for the tattoo's and I just don't have the skill points to invest in both. Spellcraft is more useful and needed. Besides he gains a tattoo making ability in a few levels.

I plan to max out spellcraft with the points taken from craft tattoo. Finally ID some magic items we have if lucky too.

Sounds like a good justification to me. As long as I haven't started play, you can retrain.

Thanks and done. As soon as a new game day comes around I can study those magic items left that need IDing.

yep. Just remember, craft Tattoo ranks are needed to craft intricate designs.

Heya! DM Bound Shade, thanks for the fun times, good luck with your future gaming.

GM Elton, welcome aboard and thanks for taking over.

Tark's got a pretty extensive background HERE , but to sum up: Chelaxian ne'er do well from a shipping family in Kintargo. Last ship was taken by the Infernus, and he got out when the Grindylows hit. He's new - kind of a probationer - to Aoro's crew.

Fighter-rogue taking duelist type feats (through prob no prestige class levels), loading up on the shipboard skills.

I'll have his level-up done by Monday mid-day (EST)

Thanks!

LEVEL 3:

Second level of Fighter.
6 hp (Standard gain)
Fighter bonus feat: Improved Disarm
Skills: (2 +2 (int) +1 (human) +1 (favored class)=6)
Prof: Sailor 1 -> 2
Craft: Ships 1 -> 2
Swim 1 -> 2
Prof: Siege engineer 1 -> 2
Know: Nature 1 -> 2
Level 3 feat: wpn focus (Cutlass)

When there has been some in-game chance for Tark and Gene to talk about weapons, (And another level with a feat), I'd like to eventually take Exotic Wpn Prof/ firearms. Eventually going for a sword-and-pistol approach, maybe.

Just to give everyone a heads-up, I will be away from computer access from July 27th-August 3rd.

In related news, does anyone else do the Pennsic War ?

Please feel free to DMPC or have someone else run Tark while I'm gone.

Thanks!

I won't be starting any games until I hear exactly from your DM where you are in the AP.

Okay, last thing: pick the picture of an actor who you think will best represent your character behind the camera or on stage (i.e. like the Pirates of Penazance.)

It's simple. Say like I created a male bard with tonnes of Charisma. I'd go looking for a picture of Brad Pit, and I post the picture on my character sheet, the actor I'd like to play the bard (he probably can't sing).

Gee...I dun't think there be an actor abouts who I remember lookin' as cheery as m'slef. Least ways not one with big enough ears.... :/

Must it be an actor?

Hmm.. Try a bald Hugh Jackman for Torque

Must it be an actor?

nope. :)

I weren't gon'a mention tha' possibility of meybe Aoro wantin' ta' us an Actress' image....(¬_¬)....Nup, nup...

So! Any one got's maybe a hint fer m'self, then? (^_^)

For the look....James Mcavoy. Here , and , for Tark's near-constant 'I am up to something' grin, Here. .

Darker hair and eyes, longer hair, but you get the idea.

For the voice, think Littlefinger from Game of Thrones.

I was thinking maybe something art rendered rather then real. Not like a lot of aasimar types walking around the world. ;)

Sunny just remember to keep yours PG 13 miss naked elf.
