I'm sure that quite a bit of our questions will be answered when the initial RP stuff is presented.
Alrighty, TCG I have uploaded a more in depth character sheet on my char description.
I believe it is all there even though there may be a few spots that I still need to fill out in full. Will do so in the next couple of days, I believe I have enough to get started.
Also, hello everyone. Good to meet you all and hope we have a great game! I'm still a newb to PbP so if anyone has any commentary feel free to advise.
Thinking more about Circe's personality and stuff.
I figure she's got some serious daddy issues since she's never met her biological father because he's an incubus and obviously her stepfather would resent her. Due her being kept isolated when young she was lonely a lot too. Probably tries to make up for that lack of social interaction.
Her favorite classes would include other planar studies and the study of creatures that reside there. She is seriously considering trying to summon her bio father at some point to have a talk with him.
I've changed my skills around a little bit, but they are set now. I've also added the changes from my gear into my stats.
Just a reminder if you havent put your background into your character profile please do so as soon as possible, even if you have posted it elsewhere. I'll be starting prequil introductions soon (maybe today). I'll post them on the gameplay thread in spoilers. Feel free to read each others, but keep in mind that your character will not have this knowledge unless told so by the character in question.
TCG - I've been slammed with work over the last few days, hence I'm a little behind. I'll play catchup soon... I hope.

No worries. Just do what you can. I can probably write yours without an offical backstory.
Hey TCG. I just wanted to let you know I saw your posts but I have to head to work soon. I will have a response tonight.
Also, I know you want Dash to be level 1 for this flashback, but he has to be level 2 to get his ki powers. I figure it shouldn't be too big a deal, since this is more background RP, but if you want to explain away his starting at a higher level, it could just be that he took longer to level in the interim because he developed his sorcerer powers late.

No worries. YOu're whatever the minimum level you need to be to be interesting. ;-)
Backstory moved to profile, such as it is. :)
had a big post and the boards ate it. I will have to try again this afternoon...
That happened to me a few times also. It's no end of irritating.
Normally I back these things up, but I was in a hurry... I need to go and read "The Tortoise and the Hare" to my girls again.
Who broke Paizo?
I blame the rouge.
:P

I blame you, but that's just my default setting.
I wrote some prequills.. Check the gameplay thread if you havent.
I can't be held accountable... just because.

you're mistaken. ;-)
Can I use an Action Point to get out of this?

A moment of silence for this moment, which has passed.

Where is that blasted rogue who screwed up Paizo's website? I'll sneak attack him so hard he won't know what hit him!
Lorth apologizes for dragging his heels, as flu and work and paizo website gremlins combined to delay. If it isn't up within the next 24hrs, you have my permission to let Vesta possess me and make me dance around singing showtunes.

I may, but just to move things along. This week is all flashbacks, so no worries. If I dont play him quite as you envision feel free to alter his behavior as you see fit.
TCG,
Did u get my PM?? There was all sorts of funkyness with the site when I sent it. It wasn't fully down yet, but wasn't exactly all the way functional either.

I did not. The site sort of lost its mind yesterday.
Will see if I still have it.
That's why I asked, it was up, then down, then up, down, etc, etc.
Edit: Just resent it.
That's up up down down left right left right b a start.
Isnt it B, A, Select, Start?
It's only select if you want 2 players. So in your case, yes.
That's what you get when you hire goblin tech support.
Ok good it wasn't just me. I tried to post early on and couldn't even get Paizo to come up.
I'm going to wrap up the flashbacks this week and I'll post somethign about the orientation ceremony when I can. We'll start the real game early next week. I just wanted to acclimate everyone to the setting a little before starting in earnest. Feel free to RP among yourselves as much as you like.
Nice Dresden reference... dibbs on the zombie T-Rex :P
We playing with standard WBL?
I can try out for the White Court. :)

I'm pulling from a lot of sources. No doubt you nerds will recognize a few. ;-)
Standard WBL. I think it's 10,500 if memory serves.
Oh yeah, I still need to do my equipment too. Is there any restrictions on what the school would allow us to have in terms of magical items or anything that we wouldn't be able to find here?
Circlet of persuasion :)
Oh and I forgot to pick a 0 level spell for my magical talent trait. I think I'll take prestidigitation.

Not specifically no, but use common sense. Keep in mind that charm magic could be considered malfescence. You'll discover soon that malfesence is the use of harmful magics against fellow students and faculty. Is it strictly forbidden and harshly punished. Now, merely enhancing your own abilits is not malfescence. So a bonus to diplomacy is fine whereas casting charm person may not be. Enchantment is a bit of a grey area as far as malfescence is concerned. Though a succcubus-ish charming impressionable students probably not going to go well. Just FYI.
Edit: If you get caught.
Also remember that the school lets us purchase any common magical items for 20% off. REALLY helps that bottom line.

True, its cheaper to sell local then to ship. I think I also said you could do your own crafting at cost. AKA 50%. Just don't get crazy. ;-)

Also, Sleep is probably fine as it is relatively harmless by itself.
Maybe people will see me as a cure for insomnia?

It's not unheard of. I imagine permanent silence spells are not entirely uncomon in city bedchambers. A bit dangerous, but still.
I'm making sure to always have the message cantrip prepared. I think it will be easier than passing notes in class. :)

I'm guessing that is not for starting gear, but only for once the game actually gets going. Yes?

Correct. Don't bother with starting gear. Just make your characters as 5th level. Everything we've done thus far is a prequil/flashback.
Regarding books:
Though books are rare in most of the world they are fairly common here. The reason being I can think of a number of relatively easy ways to transcribe multiple copies of mundane books.
There are cantrips such as "Copy" which could easily be used by a small army of neophytes in a sweatshop environment, Unseen servants could probably be used for basic tasks such as copying.
Hell, a grove of trees and one casting of Fabricate could itself create a libraries worth of a single book.
So they're not cheap, even here, but you can buy or borrow what you need.
Magical writing, however. That's a different story.
Edit: of course even some mundane books are rarer than others.
Hey Tiny,
I'll have Akydi's CS finished by tonite for sure, hopefully backstory too.

Oh, can she find the equivalent of a Harlequin Romance novel to read in her spare time? :)
Circe is also really excited to have finally found a friend that isn't family or a servant. :)
