Risen from the Sands Play by Post Build Rules
- Starting at LVL 3
- 2 Traits, no drawbacks
- 3,000 gp (do not spend all your money on one big item, please spread it out)
- All Races 16 or lower RP, no androids.
- All classes are allowed except for 3rd party or Vigilante.
- No Evil alignments
- 20 point buy for stats
- We are using Unchained Background Skills, just because we can.
- Familiars are allowed, but not allowed to fight.
- Like real tables, sometimes players can't make it and I have to NPC them. I will have a 3 day rule. If we are waiting for you to post and it has been 3 days, I will NPC your character to keep the game moving. If you don't post for a week and you don't explain to the table why, we will assume you are no longer interested in playing.
Hello all,
The rules look great to me.
Takes a seat at table
I have an idea of a ifrit Shaman. I think it would fit the desert theme. I am willing to do something else too.
How much should we look up regarding the module before we make a character?
There is nothing to look up. I don't need back stories, this is just a short module. Just make a character you're happy to play. Knowledges of all sorts can get you info, that's about all I can suggest.
I assume its known that we will be going into a pyramid in the Osiron desert. Right? That is info on the store page for the module.
Should we wait till the table is full before talking about classes?
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. You can discuss now, 3 of you have been invited so far. Only plan to seat 4 per table.
After thinking about it. I think I would want to make one of these (in order of what sounds best to me)
Bard (Archaeologist)
Investigator
Cleric of some kind
Anyone have preferences? The Bard and the Cleric will have some healing, for sure.
I'd be interested in doing a spiritualist(ectoplasmatist) Samsaran.
Also possible that I'd do a sorcerer of some sort.
I'm always a fan of having a bard or cleric in the party.
Would Samsaran be allowed as a race? It doesn't have an RP value assigned that I can see.
Yes, they are under 16 RP.
I think I will go with my original Plan. Going to go Cleric. Law and Memory domains.
I figure we could always use a healer of some kind. Happy to be that :)

Hi all.
I’m pretty sure I’m the noob in our group. That being said, I’ll leave the magic to y’all and go for something like a brawler or gunslinger with a Rick O'Connell feel if that meshes with you guys. I’m ok with any other suggestions you all may have as well.
OK I'll want your characters finished and your alias page filled out with your stats by the end of 8/12/2018
If you have questions, just let me know.
I'm currently trying to decide between a Crypt Breaker Alchemist or an Elemental Shifter; leaning towards the Shifter as I've never played one before.
One more question GM: Is there any chance of this continuing into other modules or a homebrew campaign?
Sorry this is a one shot. But you are welcome at my future tables for other games.
How are we doing HP for levels 2-3?
I should have my profile done tomorrow.
Average is fine
When your character is ready, dot and delete the gameplay thread. I will be pulling your information from the sheets when you do this for my templates.
This is NeoEvaX. I dotted and deleted. Ready to go.
Hello everyone! I have our slides ready. Please visit this link and fill out slide 2 with the info requested. Thanks!
Hey Deadly Secret, just a random question. I was looking at Master of Many Styles and Sohei monk archetypes. I was hoping to use both of them. I know that two archetypes that take the place of the same class ability can't be used at the same time. These two meet those requirements with one potential exception. Master of Many Styles changes the options for the bonus feats and Sohei adds mounted combat to the list. As they don't explicitly overlap, I think they should be ok; but my wife felt that I should check with the GM to make sure you feel the same way. Thoughts?
Yes you can take both those archetypes legally.
Great! I’ll have my character finished up tonight or tomorrow morning.
Dotted. Slide 2 updated. But is anybody else having issues with the avatar selection page? The format is all sorts of janky for me, so no picture yet.
No, did you report the issue to paizo? or try a different browser?
They are aware of the avatar page issue. I ended up just picking one that was ok. Not the best one.
I'll do the same if it hasn't been resolved by Monday morning. I've been getting sporadic website maintenance notifications this week so I'm hoping they're fixing it.
Due to the recent forum issues we have been set back a lot. I'm gonna pace the game a bit slower until we confirm everything is back to working and all players are also able to post.
Yeah. This post is the first one I have seen in days. My RSS feed is painfully quiet the last week.
Khonn, since you brought up having the avatar issue also, if you go back ot the avatar selection page and zoom out, you can see the rest of the avatars and the page selection options. Just in case you want to go and find a better one.
Thanks. I think it has grown on me a bit. Think I am going to keep it. But good work around to zoom out.
Or go out and buy a crazy high resolution monitor. But your solution seems easier.
So I know the site has been having some real issues. I just wanted to check in on the game. I feel like Orin is our only real chance at muscle.
So I am just offering to help with a bit of magic if needed.
Of course anyone can try and there are options. :)
Hi, I'm the new guy. I'm in the process of making my char. Do you have any wishes? I presume trapfinding is on the table ;)
It seems like we could use someone that has some strength to them. Other than that we are probably good.
Happy to see you join.
A good trapfinder would likely be as useful, or even more so than brute strength. But we'll figure it out one way or another.
may I take the Trap Finder trait? It's from the Mummy's Mask campaign, which is not too far from this module.
Nope
I need some help with understanding the situation. You speak of east and west, but there is no compass rose. I assume, they entered from the bottom and are trying to get through the black box. Can I just join them, or is my path (coming from the desert) to them blocked?
Yeah they are literally at the only entrance of the pyramid, they haven't even gotten inside yet.
Yup, we are doing REALLY well so far.
To be fair, the forums have been on the fritz and that really did slow things down.
So, I hope Garidan made a good frist impression with (lucky) strength check :)
@GM by your 1-week rule, is Orin out? am I the replacement?
Well considering that the forums had downtime for about 2 + weeks, I'm gonna give them more time. So for now you're a 5th
Curious how we are going to handle initiative, are we going in full order, or any form of block order.
The last post got me thinking, 1 person a day, might take quite a while.
Just curious what the plan is, I am down for whatever, just trying to make sure my expectations are right.
Oh didn't know you had expectations. Combat will go faster than you might be imagining it. From my experience, it goes a lot faster when the GM is present all day. When the GM isn't that's when it slows down.
Very true. Mostly just curious. I am down for different formatting, and at the table it makes no sense to do block init, so it only makes sense to try it here.
How long do we wait for Orin before I jump in?
Orin's last post was 4 weeks ago...Skip/replace, imho
I'll NPC him later today and consider that.
Hi, all! Reporting for adventure. What sort of character would best compliment the party?
A skill guy? Muscle? Magic?

Hi! A highly regarded expert, here. I'll need to adjust her a bit, but I submit Flori, my first ever female character, who I played in a PFS game, briefly. Please ignore the PFS stuff. She's an orc-blooded sorcerer with a mean falchion.
Like many of us, I think this is a character with potential, who never got to really grow into her role. She's tough and dangerous, but has a soft center. I hope she'll be able to add to the story we're telling.
