Discussion thread here!

It is not my intent to be difficult. What reason would a chivalric orc have to adventure with undead? They seem fairly anathematic to the religions that Orkania has accepted.

I mean, my undead isn't a bad man, lol.

It might be for a very catastrophic prophecy

Or money, Prestidge, possibly needs our help to recover something from his order or clan

Also, would the Elders of my tribe regenerate my hand or would I have to get a hooked hand

They would have regenerated your hand.

Not sure, we are all in the City of York, in Bretonia. Let's ask a different Question: Why is your character in York?

Jonathan is in York, because that is where he sent the ship with his wife and kids (which apparently never arrived). He is hoping to a) review the port records, and b) find a bunch of old retired sailors that he can ask about rumors from 17 years ago...

Maybe I am misunderstanding how other people regard the undead. How do they and their religions?

Fear and hatred. People fear the Undead in other countries. They do not accept them at all. People are afraid that they are going to burn the world.

...huh...

Well that makes this group pairing...difficult unless I'm some crazy rogue of my nation.

Perhaps you have a magic ring, that makes you look like a live person -- except in front of a mirror.

My Wolven Shaman is following the path the spirits guide him. Something important begins in York that is why he is there.

I would assume Whisper would know the undead via smell.

Do we roll for HP?

You start out with full hp at level 1.

Elton, how does a bonded item on a sorcerer (from Eldritch Heritage Arcane) work in your campaign ( I haven't found an official ruling). I am thinking about taking the eldritch heritage feat chain with Jonathan...

I'll need to read the source first. Can you give me a link?

Eldritch Heritage
You are descended from a long line of sorcerers, and some
portion of their power f lows in your veins.
Prerequisites: Cha 13, Skill Focus with the class skill
of bloodline selected for this feat (see below), character
level 3rd.
Benefit: Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have
Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a
sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial
bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you
already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for
the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power,
treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level –
2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any
of the other bloodline abilities.

Eldritch Heritage >>> Select Arcane Bloodline

Arcane Bloodline's first level power is Arcane Bond

Arcane Bond >>> select bonded object : "A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. "

A sorcerer doesn't have one of those... In my experience, it's generally treated as a floating spell slot that uses the sorcerer's normal spells known, but that's a DM's call.

Ah-ha. Sounds like paizo made a little error.

Arcane Bond (Su): At 1st level, you gain an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to your sorcerer level. Your sorcerer levels stack with any wizard levels you possess when determining the powers of your familiar or bonded object. This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item.

so, you can choose either a familiar or a bonded item, like a wand. Then you will be able to use the item to cast one of your normal spells known.

Forgot my 5th level feat, chose the one that gives me an animal companion, a Wolf named Skydancer

Alrighty.

Can you link me the feat, so I can take a look at it?

Guys, I'm doing research for either expanding upon Wolven, or working on Alfheim. This could go either way. I want the elves of Alfheim to be primitive, at the same time, the wolven could be primitive by human standards as well.

So, I've played PbP on other forums where we don't use aliases and stuff, but I've never played here on Paizo, so sorry for the newbie question, but how do I get Vargos to be listed as a character in the game?

I've already filled out his info.

You have to post in the gameplay with that alias

Awesome, thanks for that!

Animal Ally

Awesome, thank you!

Bonebutt's character sheet is complete in his profile (pretty much).

Looks good. A sorcerous skeleton, nice touch.

Ok, we have a party, and I think a skills inventory would be useful.

Jonathan is stealthy, has a high perception, is good at bluff, decent at intimidate (when he lets down his disguise, of course), has spellcraft, and has a surprising amount of knowledge of history and nobility.

Whisper is Survival, Perception, Knowledgable about Nature and Religion. Is a decent leatherworker and herbalist, Is a decent hunter and Cook, as well as an Animal Handler

Just fyi, Vargos is waiting for someone else to do the talking, which is why I haven't posted. He's got charisma, but he's also clearly an undead, and would rather have someone else do the talking unless necessary.
