Character sheet to be updated later. As I understand it we will be rebuilding our characters.
Yes can everyone please rework their characters as a 25 point buy. As well, any requests on character modification will be accepted with the exception of changing out magic items. Ensure that your characters are also level 7. Thank You.

Archidamus when you get a chance can you click on the above link and let me know what happens. Thanks.
He was already a 25 point buy, what should he have been? Or did you modify it because I see a bumped to seventh level journal entry, did you do that too? and assign all my skill points? I am a bit confused.
@ Thetis: You should make that a link. :)
Takes me to the log in screen of roll20. I then log in and join the game. All I see if the map of Magnimar and a chat window showing you grappling yourself a lot. ;)
@ Aphin: Your post confuses me. :)
Who is "he" in your post? Archidamus? Or Krest? Who is "you"? What journal?
EDIT: I see you are talking about Krest and his HL character file. I'm fairly certain you made the changes to Krest (2 years ago) as part of the same process we are doing now (finishing what we started back then).
Also, you have an error as you can't take 2 combat traits. :)
Archidamus is correct this was started a ways back so you may already have a 25 point buy level 7 character. I would not have touched any of your characters.
Archimadus is ready.
Drops application on the table. ;)
So just to sum things up, we currently have returning:
Chad playing an elf wizard (diviner)
Stacy playing a half-orc barbarian
Chris playing a dwarf cleric
We have lost our sorcerer and rogue but have gained:
Mathew playing a human? paladin
I also have an elf ranger ready to cover our scouting, archery and trap-finding if we should desire it.
Is the youngling not playing?
Not sure we want to overload her with games. Especially since I will have to help her post til she gets the hang of it and the rules. Doubly so since this is already a higher level game.
Makes sense
If she does play, she can play a female Orym. :)
Starting by messing things up on the gameplay - dotted with the wrong avatar. Sorry! Please remove Kokyu from the list of players :)
Am also changing this cleric's name to Fiknar. I'll be tinkering around with his build for a few days as well, any idea when we'll be starting?
What was wrong with the old name? <sarcasm> Didn't want to create a Paizo avatar by that name? ;)
Don't think we are using rolled HP, so I have Fiknar at 45 not 53.
Suggest you spend some of that wealth on a magic weapon. You are 7th level for god's sake! :)
Will Mathew be joining us anytime soon?
Mathew should be posting in by tomorrow night and I hope to get things started again this weekend.
Indeed!
Indeed!
A foreigner eh?
What brings you all the way up north southerner?
Just waiting on Krest to be posted and we can get started then.
Just a quick question about HP - Are we rolling them? Max at all levels? Law of averages? I'm quite happy with Archidamus' calculation of 45, but should the time come to level up again, it may be useful to know which number to put down.
Oh, and KoKyu will be playing as a Yamaraj Psychopomp. Seems to be well balanced for this AP and should fit in just fine with the group.
;)
Law of averages :)
Is Stacy aware we are waiting on her?
And the HP are max at 1st level and then average for the rest.
Sorry, I didn't post in the game thread so this wasn't showing up in my campaign list and I haven't seen any of this stuff. Will get Krest up soon.
Can we take from the shadows under sand point for a campaign trait? It shows them there but I wasn't sure. Of the regular ones none are very apropos to Krest.
Um, I see Kalest has taken an oath against savagery...
Now I know Krest has not been known to be a raging type barbarian but I might remember to do it this time around. Will that be problematic?
Anyway I have updated Krest and he is posted. Please check it and can everyone check their money because I seem to have A LOT!
A quick check of everyone's HL files shows approx wealth levels as:
Krest = 34790
Archidamus = 36470 (10,000 in Medusa Mask)
Fiknar = 31612
Tac = 33366
Demandred = ??? (deleted)
Average = 34059.5
We can assume Demandred would have been close to the average. It would be nice to know if he had any plot related, unique or useful magic items on him when he quit. I guess Pierre can let us know when/if something happens and we aren't in possession of the needed McGuffin. ;)
We should even things out with cash transfers I suppose.
Archidamus isn't particularly interested in the Medusa Mask (which is accounting for a significant amount of his current wealth) and is willing to trade it to someone else or possibly sell it.
Once that is settled I would assume that the new characters (Kalest and perhaps Orym) would be able to spend to the party average (with some restrictions given that they are getting to customize their items as opposed to finding them in game organically like the rest of the party).
Thoughts?
I see nothing in that oath which would concern Krest. More about dealing with large numbers of beasts and defending ones community from harm. Feel free to RAGE on. :)
Demandred had nothing that would impact the story as a whole. Since you are all well ahead of the wealth by level curve (33,000 for level 8) I will not divide his items among the party.
Tac does have some items the party may find useful but are not story necessities. However, giving them out will continue to skew the wealth by level for the group. However, if someone wants something he has let me know and we can discuss it (Arch may want the snakeskin tunic?). The one exception is the Sihedron amulet which the party will need!
Kalest and Orym will start with 30k each to spend how they like. Kalest has some magic items but I have no idea of their value. Mathew please check and update as needed.
Fair?
I am leaving for the woods till next Friday. If I have internet I will try and upload the start of the campaign. If not it will start next weekend.
No one wants the Medusa Mask I assume?
Added a Ring of Sustenance and a few potions to bring Orym up to 30,000.
Not really Krest's kind of thing
The Medusa Mask might prove useful later on. Since no one is claiming it, Fiknar will carry it and might even use it if he gets a chance. But only with the understanding that it is the group's item and shouldn't be counted as part of his character's wealth. When sold, naturally the funds will be put into the communal pot.
I'm not sure how that helps Archidamus. You take 10,000 gp out of his pocket and claim it as party treasure. Seeing as how he gets nothing in return, Archidamus is way behind in the wealth then compared to everyone else (including the new guys). And yes, all of his scrolls were crafted, and I believe a significant number of his wondrous items as well. That means his wealth value is already inflated as I don't have those marked as "crafted" in HL.
(I am missing a spellbook that I found as treasure in the catacombs of Thistletop.)
I'll reconfigure Archidamus' magic items in HL to get a more accurate accounting of his wealth when I have a chance. I suspect Archidamus is the only one who is actually close to wealth by level if you take away the mask. (23,500 at 7th)
The snakeskin tunic is nice and all, but better for someone else as I don't really need a dex and or AC boost as those are already so low as to not matter. :P
Orym on the other hand would make great use of it. ;)
Either we all give up some gold to Arc to even it out or next treasures he gets a bigger cut (probably all) until he catches up. Unless there is something you want to buy with the cash now does which we do really matter?
Archidamus does not own any magical weapons, only masterwork. Seeing as how Furenk didn't have any ranks in craft (weapons) it is safe to say you didn't make his weapons.
I don't have anything I need desperately at this point no. I will hang on the mask for now until the next treasure split.
We going to get started soon? :)
Sorry weekend has been way busier then i thought it would be and Christine has been sick. I will try and get us started tomorrow. As for your item Arch if you want to translate it to 9000gp of whatever you want I am fine with that if you are. (Assuming 90% value to allow you to choose your own gear is ok?)
Seeing as how Furenk didn't have any ranks in craft (weapons) it is safe to say you didn't make his weapons.
So we are agreed. "Fiknar" didn't craft any weapons for Archidamus. :/
Do we need a golem? Has some uses. Do we want to pay for a golem? Can we even afford to pay for one? I think it is unlikely.
PS We are in the ooc thread. The blue text is unnecessary. :P
Krest wants to hit some stuff!
Arch I never saw if you were ok trading the mask at 90% value to get different gear. Is that something you want to do?
I am still struggling. I realized when I started reading that i had mixed up the beginning of the module and so i am quickly doing a reread of the start so i can get you guys going. Just a little more patience please. :)
I'll see if I can find something I want for 9000. :)
Place your orders, one and all! Last chance for Fiknar to craft any arms for those in need.
Medusa Mask removed. Shirt of Immolation (crafted) added. Pearl of Power 3rd level (crafted) added.
I have reconfigured Archidamus' items to accurately reflect what he has crafted (except for the scrolls yet) and his updated wealth is currently 31,351. That will drop some once I change over all the scrolls he scribed to crafted as well.
I need to add Lyrie's spellbook however so it will likely be a wash.
I am ready to go otherwise.
And in the future might I suggest that all magical "crafting" feats should instead be referred to as "enchanting". ie "enchanting arms and armor" or "enchanting wondrous items". Scribe scroll, brew potion, etc remain unchanged of course. :)
