I like doing this because it's honestly easier for me to figure out what my stats are, instead of having to pull up his profile or the myth-weavers sheet I keep for him.
I will, of course, do what the DM wants, though.
The stat summary is usually more convenient for the GM, who may have to hunt under our profiles for quick stat-related things. AC, CMD, Perception, etc... But I'll let our GM give his preference.
Ahhh, okay-- that makes sense too.
Doc-- where in the Profile did you add that extra information, and make it appear dark or bold OOC in format?
3 down 3 to go.
profile page is where it is updated.
Than nprmal ooc bold italics set up there
In the Class box of the profile, you just type it out as normal, and use the standard [ ooc] [ /ooc] tags. It's probably unnecessary, but I like how it looks. :3

Awesome, will check into it.
Thanks to you too, Xavier, will investigate.
Mad poster here today!
Oddest thing, didn't see the "New" thing in the game play tab, so didn't see the initial intro for some 4 hours after the fact, yikes.
Curiously-- do you folks prefer I stick to just Nilofar as a post, for both herself and M'Rtyu, or are you guys okay with the additional post?
Doesn't bother me either way, I just love to type, so if it's too annoying, please advise.
Thanks.
Your summon should have their own in my opinion.
You're not going to bother me either way, honestly. Go ahead and post with both, if you like.
Added my version of the stat block, thanks for the suggestions.
As players of this game, is the profile that we have (Sex, Race, Class level) sufficient, or should we add more (such as Doc's done?).
I've also noticed that people sometimes put that profile in the [spoiler] tag, which might help.
GM Birch: What all do you prefer, oh game master?
You're asking the guy who doesn't like stats? Seriously though, what Doc has done is excellent for al of us I think - if you can manage it, so much the better.
On a similar subject, do I have a final volunteer to be rules guy?
I'm willing to help out, though I think a few of us volunteered. We can do a sort of general consensus thing, if you like.
Yeah, happy to help-- usually I'm playing this at or near my computer, so looking rules up quick is a non-issue here too.
Great, less stats great!
Huzzah, and all that.
Do we all want to have some sort of conversation here about how (or if) we know one another?
I've done one simple edit, Xavier-- Nilofar would have on occasion frequented the temple, but less for 'care giving' and more for speaking with the main priest, on subjects of diplomacy and faith discussions.
As for the rest of you, uh, I'm not quite sure. She wouldn't be the tavern goer, unless it literally was the only place in town to hang out.
Potentially possible we know each other from the market, or the like, as she may have frequented vendors with 'fresh meat' or furs from her hunting and gathering in the woods.
This hunting and gathering is potentially how she might have known "Doc", collecting some herbs he needed, or requested of locals, perhaps by word of mouth.
Thoughts? Trying to fill some spare time in between the game play posts.
Thanks.
Everybody gets sick, and Savren comes to pay them visits. They may or may not like him for it, though.
Folk have probably seen Grob wandering around on patrol now and then. He also frequents the tavern now and then.
Grum would be in the forests as well and trade in furs occassionally Nilofar. He, or his mum have been sick a time or two to meet Doc. Obviously Grum knows his brother Grobradon and has accompanied him to the tavern, but rarely. I feel he'd know of Romond, as a fellow half orc, but perhaps not have met? I don't know if he'd know Xavier either, maybe seen each other at the tavern?
Profile ready. Could not find a good picture for a half orc kid but I really liked this one, despite being a little "too much" lol.
Romund grew in the community so he knows everybody by sight at least. Since in the last few years he has passed most of his time in the woods and rarely came to the village he probably have bumped into Grum a lot, enough to nod to him when they cross ways.
His only "friend" in town is Captain Wisslo so he have been formally introduced to Grob before also.
He avoids the temple like the plague on account of his time as an orphan there so he does not quite know who Xavier is.
I'll have to write to Paizo. Statistically, there are 15 half-orcs in town. 20% have just left, which will affect the race population enought to warrant a reprint of the books!
I think I want my money back! ;)
Ok, I'm hoping I get to keep those rolls. The dice haven't liked me on the boards like this in quite a while :)
Very nice rolls Grob! One of the biggest challenges of the pbp combat imo, not knowing init and wanting to post as quickly as possible. :) But I think you're going to send at least one of them home in a body bag! ;)
Going to assume they are up ahead, say 30 feet, or so?
Fair enough? I'm all for not using maps and the like, just need to know some distances, if and when possible.
Thanks.
Nilofar, you too good for attack rolls? Not that I'm complaining, I just want to know which feat lets you skip that part. :D
I thought the GM said OOC that we can assume they can be hit? It's most likely my Feat of 'Not Reading It Right'. Heh.
Or did that mean they are in range? I'll add the hit rolls now in case.
Forgot to do my what if rolls. Not that it mattered near fumble.
Oh did he? I missed that! Probably my trait of, 'Not Reading At All'.
Just two hours outside of Kassen, the path narrows through the raking claws of the trees, now bereft of their leaves, which crunch loudly underfoot. Up ahead, a fallen tree trunk blocks the path.
Suddenly a trio of snarling humanoids leap up from behind the log, all greenish skin and fearsome tusks, bellowing vulgar challenges. Orcs! Each is in well-worn leather armour and carrying a short-sword.
Now I understand. I thought he meant that ooc part in a spatially, proximity sense, rather than an auto-hit. So none of them are in cover, or 'out of range' or anything like that. Was my understanding.
I thought it meant in range as well
There we go-- I tried to make the posts clear enough, hit if they were close, or wait for any approach to strike or act next round for my girl and her eidolon.
Hopefully that was properly conveyed.
Misunderstanding with text, happens frequently, no?
No way, text-based communication was always the most clear I thought, perfectly conveying tone, inflection, cadence. I don't what you're referring to, this lack of clarity... pish posh! :)
Hahaha..
True, so true. Never once has written word caused any error in communication!
Well written.
I'll ask questions here if I run into a similar doubt in the future.
Thanks for clearing that up...and just to reconfirm, assume you can hit or be hit unless I say otherwise.
Another point I thought of as I walked into work this morning (yes, I'm lucky enough to live within walki distance of where I work) is that - like any GM - I have a GM screen. So you don't see my rolls - nor do I describe adversaries any more than you can see. What I mean is that you are 1st level adventurers and would recognise an Orc but not be able to spot the difference between different types of giant.
To that end, I won't always ask you to roll to spot things, but if in doubt, make the skill check. We don't want to check every room for traps but nor do I want to ask you to roll to check every time you enter a room with a trap. We'll work this one rough. I would never let you chance into a room that contains a pit-fiend, but if I tell you there's one in there and you choose to go in, you'll have to take your chances.
So...don't expect to see the Orc's initiative rolls, or their to hit rols, merely the outcomes. This feels more like table-top gaming.
Sounds good GM!
Just wanted to say that I sure enjoy the chaotic influx of overlapping posts. Seriously. I'll take chaos over silence any day of the week! :)
I love it. Seeing that there are 7 new posts is great.
So-- what time zone are you folks in? I'm PST here, California.
It's great waking up to all these posts, but I do apologize if you're a few hours ahead of me and I'm silent!
I'll try coordinate more.
@GM Birch, I'm all for you doing whatever rolling you want, to keep the story flowing-- I'm interested in primary the social interaction first and foremost in my posts, along with exploring your story, versus filling my entries with forum codes.
Having a good time here, hope my duality of forum posts isn't annoying anyone, let me know if so.
Cheers.
I'm in MST myself, here in the cold state of Utah. brrrr!
@GM - While I'm thinking of it, one minor concern I had about combat was attacks of opportunity. It can be difficult to know if you'll going to provoke or not when using my minds eye. That's all, not a big issue, but something I was thinking about and wanted to bring to your attention. I imagine our summoner and alchemist may run into this as well.
Thanks!
Nilofar is hardly a combat melee machine, but M'Rtyu is being designed for a flanking cuisinart-- so, if you want to handle AoO, GM Birch, by all means go for it, no Combat Reflexes on the eidolon, not sure if I will later.
I know it's a good part of the game system, miniatures and resolving threat/range, so, in the interest of keeping the posts flowing without losing the fun for all, I'll defer to GM resolving, as best as the wisdom/smarts of the character can do so, when not our choice as players.
Hehe. Hope that makes sense.
@All -- Out for a few hours, will check back in the later evening after 4pm PST.
Post, you party members, post! Enjoying this greatly.
In terms of flanking and AoO, I appreciate it is harder without a map - but that's the price I pay in keeping things moving quicker. If you want to flank, just let me know in the post and I'll see what I can do. On the other hand, I won't present you with an AoO against you AFTER you've posted, I'll either warn you or work something into the next post.
This may break the mechanics from time to time but as previously stated too often to count - I don't care if it keeps the story moving. You will encounter monsters that have you stretched before too long even without AoO's.
Sounds good to me. I think it'll work out just fine, thanks!
Had a thought I'm in a hame where the party goes on one initiative and the bad guys on another.
just a thiught.
Apologies for the delay. Weekends can sometimes be slow for me but this weekend is especially so withe family, snow and football (soccer) to contend with.
I'll post later today (evening my time) and pick up the pace tomorrow.
S'alright boss, take all the time you need.
I've got a mountain of classwork to work on for Wednesday, anyway. ;)
Apology accepted! ;-)
And here I thought an ac of 20 would make me hard to hit. I will probably kill any wolf first frim here on out.
Hard yes, impossible no...
Yes not impossible.
OUCH!!!!
