Razor Coast, a devil’s paradise, where a man’s fortune can bleed out quicker than a spitted pig, and where the dawn sky blazes across endless oceans. Oceans that for centuries hid a lost people of whom legend whisper were born into these wild reaches as the sons of sharks. Here, within in the kraken’s clutches, law means little while gold breaks all boundaries and blood, pearls, and rum pay for all sin.
Can a makeshift sheath be made? And can you tell me the magical enhancement so I don't have to keep asking every strike? To keep things moving along smoothly. Can the cutlass be repaired? I know broken items can, but can ruined items be repaired?
If it is below 0 hp it cannot be repaired. No CR was listed for that encounter, while you put out the fire Shakes is far from being redeemed. At best 200 each.

I've got a general rule question that's more or less related to the fight we are in.
Normaly Zombies have a special ability that says staggered or something like that which mean they can only move or perform a standard action. Does that mean they can't full attack?
I also knows some zombies are fast zombies and are not staggered. If my interpretation is correct, these ones should be able to full attack.
Beth, you are correct. "Normal" zombies are staggered and that does mean they can only take a move or standard action, not full attack. You are also correct that fast zombies lose the staggered condition AND they actually get an extra slam at their highest BAB when they full attack.
Heads up that I may not be able to post again until Monday or Tuesday so please GMPC or PCPC if needed to keep the action flowing. I have a very full day of business travel tomorrow followed by a Con where I have heavy GM duties on Fri-Sat-Sun. Monday will be catching up on work and hopefully most PbPs, but I should be fully caught up by Tuesday.

I kind of had that question too when I read the stat block and yes they are staggered. Yet it listed the second attack. My after action is to say ignore the damage from the second attack on Natalie. Here is the stat block

OK, that's weird I made one in Hero Lab and it got the second attack??? So, good question for which I am not sure I have an answer. I will keep with the one attack from doing some rule research.
I don't trust Hero Lab I've seen Hero Lab PF characters with abilities not in the books. I use the books and the forums to get advise. That way I'm not faced with asking what a feat or ability does that I can't look up myself.
They are all in a book somewhere, just maybe not sources you are using! I find it mostly accurate, but always do RW testing to be sure. Also FGG admit that they don't always follow rules so I usually just go with it.
Ok, I want an accounting on everyone where they stand vs WBL. Suggested at this level is 16,000 and only Natalie exceeds that and that is only due to the new sword. I think I need make some treasure adjustments here.
That isn't my point, my point is I am not counting it in your WBL level for this. Besides, I will probably give you something that will help the party.
If noone has a problem with it may I get one of the nat armor amulets? I know the greatsword was a substantial wealth add, but her cutlass got reduced to slivers and it seems fair to at least claim the sword that broke it till we get out. Also we're not too far from 7th lvl as it is. This game is moving quickly xp wise. One of two PbP's I've levelled in and in less than a year too.

I've got nothing against having different wealth level for the party as long as those who can make the best of the items have it. so I'm happy with Wexley, Silas, Oro-Tu and Nathalie sharing the rings and amulets. Beth will take the curing wand.

Recruiting players for PbP Razor Coast game per request. I am looking for 6 players level 5. Campaign runs through around level 12.
I would have to warn people before starting a PbP game that I am a very Old School DM and run my games similar to the way the Frogs created them and run them, largely Core with a few exceptions on races and classes. I do use UM, UC and all the sources that the Kickstarter included so there is quite a bit of additional source material for feats and especially traits and have all the S&S material also. So Dead Man's Chest, 101 Pirates Traits, A Brace of Pistols, etc. And yes I have Call of The Frog God so it may be included depending on what the players do. I am open to ideas and suggestions, however. If you have something you really want too run and can convince me it fits the setting go for it. This is set around 1700 in a sort of Hawaiian/Caribbean setting. Think Port Royal in Hawaii in a fantasy setting. The Tulita are the Polynesian natives. Guns are common place but are strictly limited to flintlocks with only a few types available. They are however, very cheap. You can buy a gentleman's pistol for 30 GP. The rapier is the weapon of choice for all gentlemen and there are oodles of feats for it. Heavy armor is largely outmoded and face it, you will be on a ship a lot of time. Light armor is your best choice.
Hey brvheart. Just bought the Freebooter's Guide. My character concept is a Morgan Randall, a sailor on a whaling ship, shipwrecked and taken in by Tulita tribesman, and subsequently (and rather controversially for the tribe) inducted in to the ways of the Yohunga. Think Dances with Wolves in the Pacific.
So a Fighter (Harpoonist) 3/ Yohunga 2.
His adopted tribe is plagued by (insert pothook) and has sent him to Port Shaw as he is the perfect intermediary between the colonists and the Tulita. Also, a power faction within the Tulita tribe are hoping he won't return.
Either that or a full Tulita Yohunga 5 outcast from his tribe that is trying to find a new place for himself and has gravitated to the strange town of Port Shaw.
Sounds like he would be an interesting character and have ideas for that plot hook! When you first said Dajobasu I got it confused with a disciple of dajobas. The Dajobasu would be difficult to play as they are severe outcasts by their people but not impossible. My character creation rules are posted in the House rules in the campaign info, basically a 25 point buy.
Not quite sure on the concept for the character, but I was wondering if you were allowing traits?
Reason I ask is that I picked up 101 Pirate Traits awhile back and Eyepatch of Grit really grabbed me. :) So, regardless, loving the idea of someone with an eyepatch.
Since it's 25 point buy, and level 5, this is definitely going to take some thought. I know the scrimshaw fetishist caught my interest, but I'll have to look. I could definitely see something that was a lightly armored character working towards eldritch knight.
Thnx brvheart. I'll check out the difference between Dajobasu and disciple of dajoba to see if it still appeals but I'll more than likely stick with Morgan Randall. ;)
I'd like to pitch an islander Witch who has taken up a position as the Ship's doctor. I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from Vodun lore and Hatian spiritual practices. The character would be a big, intense Witch Doctor/Shaman type who speaks to the dead and reads a lot into omens and signs.
I'll have a character sheet put together tomorrow night. I don't know enough about the setting to know how this concept fits into it, so any help in that regard would be appreciated.
I'm seeing that Gunslinger is only listed as being possibly allowed, but there's a Buccaneer Archetype that I'd really love to give a go if it might be alright. If not I may just roll up a Ranger that carries a gun, but I've never played a Gunslinger before and think this would be the perfect opportunity.
So I'm thinking either fighter (corsair) or one of a couple choices of rogue (rake or pirate) along with what I'm thinking will be wizard (scrimshaw fetishist). Sort of a poor man's eldritch knight, as I said before.
It's definitely the only time so far that I've seen a chance to play a scrimshaw fetishist, but I definitely want the chance to be a bit closer to the frontline than a pure wizard.

Yes, every character starts with 2 traits per the trait rules, but I do not use hero points. I handle death a little differently than RAW. If a character goes below negative CON they are entitled to a FORT save at a DC of 15+the amount below negative CON. If you make the save the character stabilizes and has a permanent injury.
If your character has an eyepatch that means he has lost an eye and with it takes the affects(–4 penalty on all sight-based
Perception checks).
I'm seeing that Gunslinger is only listed as being possibly allowed, but there's a Buccaneer Archetype that I'd really love to give a go if it might be alright. If not I may just roll up a Ranger that carries a gun, but I've never played a Gunslinger before and think this would be the perfect opportunity.
The only issue with gunslinger is they wrote this prior to Ultimate Combat came out so they have simplified firearm rules that fit the campaign. Basically, you would reload slower but would carry a whole bunch of pistols! They are considered almost throwaways. I am sure we can work something out if you would like to try it! A Brace of Pistols covers the concepts they are wanting.
From their rules:
Since firearms are common among the seafarers of the
Razor Coast, generally these weapons are considered martial,
not exotic. A good provisionary rule is to allow any PC of
a class proficient with all martial weapons to automatically
receive proficiency with all black powder weapons upon
gaining their next level, subsequent to acquiring one.
Black powder weapons are powerful, but are also
difficult to load quickly in combat. Similar to a heavy
crossbow, a black powder weapon requires a full round
action to reload (though Rapid Reload applies for any
character proficient with black powder weapons).
Here is RAW:
Early Firearms: Early firearms are muzzle-loaded, requiring bullets or pellets and black powder to be rammed down the muzzle. If an early firearm has multiple barrels, each barrel must be loaded separately. It is a standard action to load each barrel of a one-handed early firearm and a full-round action to load each barrel of a two-handed early firearm. It takes three full-round actions by one person to load a siege firearm. This can be reduced to two full-round actions if more than one person is loading the cannon.
I think I can live with that, a standard action to load a pistol.
brvheart - I'm interested, most likely in a Tulita of some sort.
Are you ok with the content in the Warrior's Way in the Books of Indulgences? Specifically the feats and coral bracers and Mai'kal archetype for Monks.
I'm interested as well, thinking to go divine caster cleric, druid or oracle. I'll have to look up the freebooter guide when I'm back home tonight.
I've got most of the sources from the Kickstarter as well and will run through them to propose something fitting. I will surely be leaning towards storm/waves/air domains/archetypes.

Gun Talk:
What's strange to me about their gun rules is that it looks like the reload time is the same (Full Round Action) whether it's a one or two handed weapon, though multiple barrels must be loaded separately.
Pathfinder's Ultimate Combat on the other and says Standard for a Pistol and Full Round for a Two-Handed Gun, which seems more reasonable. Taking Rapid Reload would bump the Pistol down to a Move action, and the Two-Handed Gun down to a Standard Action. As opposed to Razor Coast's rules, which would be Move Action for both.
I think taking the Pathfinder core rules for it would be reasonable, since it makes sense that it would take longer to load a larger gun. Though taking the Razor Coast rules don't hurt anything, so I think that's totally fine, too.
I still haven't quite decided which class I'll be making. I'm going to build both and see which might be more fun to play. I'm definitely leaning towards the Gunslinger.

I'll definitely keep my eyes open on the specifics of that trait. I know there was something specific about it that didn't make it too bad. As far as the options I put forth to combine with scrimshaw fetishist, do you have any suggestions or recommendations between the fighter (corsair) or the two rogue ones of (pirate or rake)?
@Mark Peyton Of course you can play, just keep player and character knowledge separate please.
WBL for 5th level is 10,500 GP, no more than 25% in any one item.
OK, I have seven people posted which is one more than I would have liked but that is ok. I have to cut recruitment off unless more than one does not wish to play. Please state if you are in.

Sorry guys I have Lupus and Sjogrens so if I miss your post please repost or remind me please:) How can I help with information for you? There is extensive information in the Freebooters Guide but I can only post selected parts for copyright purposes.
RazorCoast:
Islands poke their toothy ridges up from the depths,
angry and defiant, like the maw of a great leviathan intent
on rending and devouring ships. Indeed, beneath the rolling
waters stretch miles of jagged shoals and empires of coral
reef that cut down vessels like wheat before a scythe. Over
the years, these hazards have claimed the ships of hundreds
of explorers and freebooters, and throughout the Razor,
there are many tales of missing ships and the lost treasures
hidden within sunken hulks.
Then there are those places that the colonists call
“civilized.” Filthy boom ports, their shorelines lined with
shantytowns crammed with eager profiteers who come
quickly, take what they can, and leave behind ruin in their
careless wake — convicts, preachers, and those seeking
freedom, new identities, or new lives. Depending on one’s
morals, there is work aplenty for these newcomers. Rum,
whaling, and slavery are all big business, while merchants
who deal in the supplies needed to keep these businesses
running make cool profits, especially when supplies run low.
Few of these ports stay open for more than a few decades,
thus their inhabitants invest little in their structures or
maintenance. Those with wealth usually live on their ships,
traveling from port to port, while those without cobble
together wooden shacks sealed with whale fat or tarred
paper. When the trade routes change or an island’s resources
wink out, the shacks are abandoned and the populations
venture off to the next boom port to seek fortunes anew.
Conversely, thriving ports are hotbeds of excitement.
Ships of all kinds crowd slipshod docks. Oozing with
the wretched stench of blubber and blood, merchants
hawk their wares to passing sailors, anything from ropes,
harpoons, and foodstuffs to more questionable items such
as poisons, drugs, or treasure maps. Ashore, a boom port’s
crowded alleys swim with drunks, vagrants, and others
come to make whatever coin they can before the port goes
bust. Street pugilists hold brutal matches run by shady
managers who hedge bets, beggar bards promise to make
legends of incoming freebooters for the coast of a few coins,
and painted whores keep their nimble fingers poised to
pleasure customers or slit their throats, whichever looses
the most gold. Thickly scarred slaves pilfered from all ends
of the world walk in heavy irons beneath the yoke of their
masters, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to rise up against
the cruelness of their fate. Indeed, today’s slave is often
master upon the ‘morrow while near as easily, a master can
wake to find himself in leg irons.
Outside of the boom ports, life is far different. The
islands of the Razor remain untamed. These are lands
where violent monsoons and lush steaming jungles blanket
frothing volcanic isles surrounded by beaches of deep
black sand that spill into a crystalline blue sea. They strike
a chord both peaceful and ominous, for here beauty and
wonder often walk arm in arm with danger and death.
Human settlements are few, consisting almost entirely
of small tribes of indigenous Tulita. Ongoing struggles
between these original heirs of the Razor Coast and foreign
colonists keep most them wary, if not entirely hostile. In
other regions lurk foul beasts, agents of the mysterious
powers of the deeps and wild, feral addicts who chew upon
the noxious maht root and fly into frenzied hallucinations
during which they drink entrails of their foes.
I'm in, working on the character right now. I'm planning to go for a cleric of Quell with the travel and weather domain. My character will not be ready tonight but should be done by tomorrow.
I'm trying to decide between fighter (corsair) with wizard (scrimshaw fetishist) or whether it'd be more well rounded with something like rogue (rake or pirate). I'm thinking of him as an acrobatic half crazed individual who moves between spells and weaponry, using his brains before the physical or pure magical ways of resolving a problem. Even if his logic is a bit flawed.
Someone should probably play a rogue type character, but both are good. I am not familiar with the rake, but my wife is playing a pirate in our ftf game and doing it rather effectively except traps of course!
This is going to be a heavy role play/problem solving game so be prepared for that. Yes, there will be plenty of combat also.
@brvheart: From my (limited) knowledge of PbP you don't need to add us, when we have been accepted via this recruitment then we post in Discussion for out of game stuff and Gameplay for in game stuff.
Yeah, the way it works is that you say who is accepted, and then they post in the Gameplay / Discussion threads, and are automatically added to the game that way.
I didn't realise it was going to be first come / first serve. I'll definitely have my Gunslinger Buccaneer finished tonight.
Basically a rake gets bonuses to bluff and diplomacy and can forgo some of their sneak attack dice on a sneak attack to make a free Intimidate check to demoralize their foe. Sort of a boastful rogue whereas the pirate is very acrobatic. If I went the rake route, I'd definitely be more social and playing a mental game with the opponent, whereas you're already familiar with the pirate.
It's sounding like the rogue is the best option there. Just unsure which fits the concept better. Lol for once I built the concept before the classes.
@Shadow: Both seem pretty solid. I suppose it would depend on how much you wanted to be the face. If you aren't planning on high Charisma, you may not get a ton out of the Rake. Both sound fun, I think it just comes down to your intended party role and how you want to build your character, yeah?
Yorick here, with a character ready to go, completely rebuilt from a Skulls & Shackles game where the DM disappeared. I may have a few tweaks to make on Equipment, but otherwise I think I'm all set.
I am in, but the final character may take a wee while to polish off around work and my other PbP games - I'll try to get a decent mudmap and summary up ASAP though.
@Yorick: I can see it being a bit of a mad build, since scrimshaw fetishist is a wizard (so Int is a biggie there), and rogue is obviously a bit of Dex and Con.
I see that the gameplay and discussion threads are live - are you happy for me to dot the gameplay (which allows the campaign to show up in my campaign tracker) and take any further questions and what not to the Discussion page brvheart?
If you dot a thread, then delete the post, the site still records the dot. That way you can attach a campaign to your tab without muddying the gameplay thread with a dot post. :)
Looks like you're rolling for HP? And where can traits be found? My first thoughts for traits apparently fall outside of the allowed materials.
And I'm assuming 5th level? How much starting gold?
WBL for 5th level is 10,500 GP, no more than 25% in any one item. Roll for hit points past level one re-roll 1's. I do use 101 Privateer and Pirate Traits as well as feats, etc from Skulls & Shackles.
