Lance: I assume you are proficient with daggers?
Your sling stats look like a light crossbow - dmg should be 1d4 with a threat of 20.
After that you are clear to play!
Prat: Since you are heading toward a spellcaster, you may choose which three cantrips you are granted via the Knack for Magic feat.
I know you're a bit swamped, but I'll forget it if I don't post right away...
Sorry I just had an eventful day. For details, please click here.
Will finish Lam-ang's background later.

Ahh yes. He has chosen daggers. As to the sling I had originally gone for crossbow but realized he couldn't afford one. I must have slipped up while editing it out.

Wow...take care, man.
I'll review it tomorrow. Do what you can, when you can - we're going to take our time somewhat while our RPGSuperstars work on their countries.
Luenevyn: you are cleared to play!
Okay again I think that my character is ready and again I hope that it is right.
Dithering DM:
** spoiler omitted **
As you wish.
I hope you do not get the feeling that I'm picking on you or anything. I am thrilled you are part of the team and look forward to Summer's contributions!

I understand that you are not picking on me. I am also looking forward sto starting whenever you are ready.
One of the reasons I want to run this game is to test out a Gunslinger class I culled from a myriad of sources and inspirations...
Anybody have any comments about this?
I am particularly weary of the sharpshooter ability. Mechanically, it sounds good, but not so much thematically. Most cool gun fights involve quite a bit of moving around...
I'm already leaning toward changing it to something like this:
Sharpshooter (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a gunslinger has such command of projectile behavior, the gunslinger may elect to forgo any movement (including a 5 ft step) in a round to allow for carefully aiming. The result is a precision bonus to damage of +1d6 for every 4 levels of gunslinger. If the target is flatfooted or otherwise denied its dexterity bonus, the movement restriction is lifted.
It doesn't kick in for a few levels, but I would love to hear your take on it.
Would it be alright if I just wing it on not having read th player's guide? I would just say that Summer has a lousy sense of direction in cities and didn't spend much time out and about in the city anyway only going between the herbalist shop and the necessary other shops.

That's fine...it's mostly just to help enrich the sense of realism.
You can find a lot of useful information from here and here.
I'll post a blurb of relavent information later today.
I don't mean to come across as too...uptight, but...
Summer: Here are some final things I'd like to tighten up before you get the all-clear:
- Add +1 str dmg modifier to your weapons
- Add a break down of your AC bonus as (+1 Dex)
- Your ending bold tag is b\ instead of \b
- Add Merchant’s Tongue to your list of feats - maybe even footnote the text just below for reference
- Add your backstory from here
Lam-Ang: Here is your list:
- I've asked everyone to include cost and weight on each item in your possession
- Add a break down of your hps as (1d4+1)
- Add a break down of your AC bonus as (+2 Dex)
- I'd love to have your back ground fleshed out
Prat: Here is your preliminary list:
- You may choose any three cantrips in exchange for those granted by Knack for Magic
- Include your gear with cost and weights
If we can get one or two more ready to go I'll start the game thread!
Have made the modifications. Background is also here.

Alright :D Will check back in eight (8) hours.
Okay I have made the changes and and I think I did everything. I am sorry it is taking so many changes for me to get her ready.

Good point - since this is a game of global scope I should be more specific :)
I should have said "Look for the first game post sometime in the next 24 hours."

Excellent! And no worries - I just think things run more smoothly with a complete and clear character sheet. Have you seen mine? Here and here are two of mine - I even like to link stuff over to the SRD for quick reference. ...believe it or not, I am not this organized in any other aspect of my life :)

Yay! Finally. I am usually not detailed in my charcter sheets. Usually I don't even write down my backstory. I always have one but I rarely write it down.
We're only down Prat, but he's busy being a RPGSuperstar (along with Luenevyn being likewise detained). Everyone follow the link and jump in!
So here we go: LINK
One more thing...
If you want to do something please type in third person present tense (such as: DitheringDM walks over to the bar and orders a drink, not: I walk over to the bar and order a drink).
Out of character stuff should use the lovely ooc tags .
I like this methodology:
Players should take responsibility for rolling for attacks, damage (always include a damage roll with every attack roll, even if you're confident you missed), and most skill checks. On that note, I expect you to initiate most of your own skill checks, so if you think a social skill or a knowledge check might be appropriate, just roll for it. Don't wait for me to prompt you for it.
example using Invisible Castle:
DitheringDM swings his club at the bad guy
has the link cut-n-paste directly from InvisibleCastle where I entered atk: and dmg: in the note fields, surrounded with ooc tags.
Be sure to enter your character's name in the name field.
And:
I will handle initiative rolls, a few skill checks (unexpected spot and listen checks, for example) and most saves. These are things I will handle just to save time, since they will be initiated on my end. It would slow the game down too much for me to request the roll, and then wait for you to do it. All of my rolls on the players' behalf will also have posted links (though rolls for NPCs and monsters will not). Let's all work together to make sure we haven't forgotten bonuses or modifiers to the rolls. If something I've rolled looks incorrect, just call it to my attention in a nice way.
If you have any questions, let me know - and don't worry, we'll learn as we go what works and what doesn't.
Great start DitheringDM!
PS Do you ever sleep? You post early, late, and everywhere in between.
DitheringDM swings his club at the bad guy
Yeah, but what does Gloam do?
Cry Havoc! Where are you?!
We're only down Prat, but he's busy being a RPGSuperstar (along with Luenevyn being likewise detained). Everyone follow the link and jump in!
So here we go: LINK
I am putting the polish on my country tonight. If I have time I will try to get the equipment bought for Prat and even make my first post. If not tonight then i should be able to get one added tomarrow after I get of work or in the evening.

That timing will be perfect - no worries.
Good luck to you and SargonX - I can't wait to read 'em.
As usual the browser in the office refuses me access to the spoilers. I'll post later.
I did not know that...
I see a "For Radavel's Eyes Only (DitheringDM Spoiler)" thread - are these related? I wasn't sure if I wasn't suppose to look or not so I haven't. If this is where we can post spoilers for you, let me know.

Thanks for the offer but I don't wanna impose too much. The problem is only with the browser at the office. The browser here at the house is doing fine and I can read the spoilers.
Already posted in the game thread by the way. :D
Clarifications: You do not need to post in spoiler tags unless you are trying to restrict what everyone sees (like if a rogue makes a Sleight of Hand check to palm something - not that Luenevyn would)...I started out that way since no one knows each other yet.
Feel free to make skill checks whenever you feel it relevant. If you attack anything, always roll to hit and damage.
If things get confusing post your primary action and any secondary ones - for example if two of you are attacking something, the monster may die before your turn. You can attack it and post a backup action, like move to the next monster.
To facilitate play, I'll collect everyone actions and post a summary.
Any other questions?
I am going to try like crazy to refrain from posting in the game until everyone gets a chance...
Any other questions?Are we there yet? ;)
Yup! Go up about 10 posts (some are semi important) or jump in here
Hopfully that will be the last all-spoiler posts for awhile :)
hehe... just gloating over how invisible castle is rolling sweet for me.

I noticed that Radavel couldn't read his spoiler from work so I started that thread as an alternative. I reposted your spoiler for Lam-ang there. It is for anyone to use or ignore. I know that I would be chomping at the bit to play if I was in Radavel's shoes so I was trying to help him out.
Sorry for the interruption.
I made my first post as Prat but I still need to buy equipment. I will have it done for you soon. I just haven't had any time with work and the RPG contest. Need to sleep now.

Welcome aboard! Please get your character sheet in tip-top shape as soon as you can (sleep comes first).
I suck - no map...I'm working on trying to get some visuals online soon so hang in there.
DitheringDM, Cry Havoc! gave me this link to follow when I asked him where he got the maptools.
Got it...learning to use it...hopfully soon I'll look half as professional as Cry Havoc!.
Luenevyn: when in doubt, look it up :)
Here is a link to drawing your weapon, actions in general, movement considerations while moving silently, and unicorns...ah, skip that last one.

Thanks, I did look it up, which is why posted drawing my weapon and then moving. I just wanted to be sure that was right, so by all means tell me if I get something a little wrong. I forgot about the movement penalties to Move Silently, though, so I guess it'll be another round before I'm actually in melee range. Then again, with my Move Silently roll, they'll probably hear me long before I get to them, and...
OOH! Unicorns! :D

haven't time myself to learn it unfortunately. seems that in my country all the major and awful decisions of the courts are released at the end of the year.
I tHink i have every thing done for Prats sheet let me know if anything is missing

Thanks! Add a "A short piece of copper wire" (no cost or weight) for message and Prat is cleared to play.
FYI, I am open to alternatives to Summon Familiar at first level, please just clear it with me (including the specialist wizard's familiar substitute class abilities from here), then again, familiars can be cool..totally your call.
Summer bends down and examines the woman's injuries she also says; "So what idiotic action did you engage in to get kidnapped?"
I think I'm really going to enjoy Summer's bright and sunny disposition :)
Sorry about some of the confusing aspects of this opening encounter...please be sure to let me know if you have any thoughts, comments, criticisms, ideas, and so on.
And my goal is to get maps available for the next encounter.

no worries, but maps would definitely be helpful. After I ran around the building to come in the back of the alley, I had trouble visualizing where the thugs were in relation to me, whether i could get to them in 1 round, etc. I found the answer (i think) in an earlier post, but it was frustrating. Or maybe its just me.
In any case, I'm really having a lot of fun. And while I was shocked (shocked, I tell you!) when I got wounded, it just made me really want to get them back. And I'm proud to be the first one blooded in this game! :)
So basically, bring on more of the same! (but maps would be helpful)
