Is the character sheet visible to me anywhere?

Heads up! I make a LOT of really stupid mistakes when I am working on my posts, which I often miss until after I actually submit. Give me 15 minutes or so to correct a post if it does not make sense or something. Heck, give me 15 minutes even if it does make sense. Chances are each of my posts will be a work in progress until then.

Heads up! ...will be a work in progress until then.

I post the same way, honestly... totally understand.

I can have it up tomorrow AM, EST.

Alessandro here...

If anyone wants to kibitz... I can use all the help I can get. Especially when it comes to smaller magic items.

She's all legal is HeroLab, so I'm 98% confident she's good to go.

Obviously, needs the mandated formatting and source inclusion.

I am going for someone who had a deep loss to "fire" (bad guy(s) that vanished) and as a child started a quest to discover what happened, learning as much as possible. Wherever it leads.

Teased as the huntress while younger, the moniker stuck to some degree.

Not sure if anyone listens to Fozzy? Her theme might be Spotlight <<< Link

@Vonna (previously Alessandro Khadaji)
Do you have a plot hook for getting your character involved? You should add some background information/story to the sheet.

Regarding Permanency. If you use this it will permanently reduce your WBL as noted in the house rules. It does not look like any of the targetable spells would break anything, but if it turns out to be unbalanced I reserve the right to reevaluate. Also, I am not opposed to you making a request for a spell not on the list provided in the spell description as long as it does not break the game.

Will do.

Wouldn't worry too much about permenancy, I don't know enough to break anything.

Have I mentioned this is my first Wizard, essentially?

Nice! It's a good idea to play a class just to get the feel for it. It helps you work as a team when you understand, by doing it yourself, how other characters work.

Please take a look at my Skills section, is this acceptable?

Is there a specific way you'd like it formatted for easier reading (bold # ranks for tabulating, etc...)

Also, a little quick background at the end of the sheet (spoilered).

The most important thing is that all the math is shown. I like the format I gave because everything is in spoilers, so it is easy to find skills. feats, attacks, defenseless, etc. For example, how did you get an init of +8? The AC is broken out, but the sources are not included. It is OK if you do not get everything as we will be improving the character sheet as we go along, but that is the idea.

Right now what I need most is the math for determining the number of ranks you get, and that you identify which skills are covered by the headband.

I really like how you bolded the ranks. Makes it a LOT easier for me to confirm the total. I got 121 total ranks in your skills.

@Vonna
Oh, and the path that led you to the Citadel. You have a lot of references to characters and locations outside the adventure path. Not sure what to do with that.

@Newbies
Please add your info to the first two slides of the sheets linked to by the Party Info link above.

Working on it... had a work emergency that consumed me for a few days, apologies.

Should have some time tonight.

What time zone is everyone? I'm EST (New York State)

traveling today, I may be able to post from my phone but I won't be able to manipulate the map.

In Singapore until the 10th. Will try to get it done before then.

EST myself, near Pittsburgh. Not worried about the delay myself, for those of you still working on it.

Will work on spoilers. It's all going to take a bit.

For example, how did you get an init of +8?

Will update +4 Dex, +4 Improved Init (for battlefield control, he's most effective going earlier). Done.

The AC is broken out, but the sources are not included. It is OK if you do not get everything as we will be improving the character sheet as we go along, but that is the idea.

Will add sources. Done.

Fixed, 96 from Class & Intelligence, +24 from headband (Sense Motive & Spellcraft) noted as +12[hb]. Done.

@Vonna I do not see the skill rank math on the sheet. Please add it. Something like

Skills 84 ranks = 12[lvl] * (2[wizard] + 5[int]), 24 additional ranks from headband[hb]

Not sure where you got 96 from.

Remember I need an updated background so I can come up with a plot hook to get you in.

I think +1 x 12 = 12 for Human. Skilled.

I'm working on background, but honestly... the trail just led her here, to the Citadel. Or even she could have lost the trail and gotten here.

Scent is not a free ability, if within 30' the hound can get a direction, it can only pinpoint within 5', even then it is a move action to use. Please do not give the hounds extra actions.

I do not fly.

How far away were they when I saw them? I should have been able to shoot at them as soon as I saw them on the stairs. Coming down stairs is moving through difficult terrain requiring double movement so I doubt the hound could have covered the distance and then used a 10' fan of fire on me.

Can we get them on the map?

Ah, that is right, It is Amaimon Emberheart that is flying. Another stupid mistake on my part.

Anyway, the hell hounds have 40' movement and scent. Only some stairs are difficult terrain and I was not thinking the stairs were difficult terrain. So keeping up with you would not be difficult for them if you are spending a standard action each turn casting a spell (and, typically, making noise doing so), lowering your movement per round to 60' vs. their movement of 80' if they are not attacking. The giant would just be keeping pace.

But I was a bit confused because I was not using a map to track things, so let's just delay the attacks they made and start with your actions with the foes as placed on the map now. Did you still want to attack knowing that the hound is right there?

I’ll take a look at the map. I was wondering if they had followed me down directly or if the waited. It sounded as if they waited otherwise i would cast a spell under vanish and then move. Again, scent just lets them get a direction and that only if i’m within 30’ and the hound uses a move action. Scent seems to be good for tracking things but not great for combat bc it takes an action itself. I’ll need to look it over when i get home. Likely, if there is a hound near me i would 5’ step and drop all arrows on him vice the giant.

Thanks for adding their tokens. I feel the use of invisibility is very tactically nuanced.

So, any idea when Seif and I will be back in the mix?

I did not know that. I just knew that they could follow someone using scent and figure out where they were. Should have known to look for specific rules.

Soon. I'm waiting for Marcus to catch up with Amaimon. I was also planning on waiting for Vonna to include a reason for entering the Citadel, but we can move forward without her until she does.

@miteke

Sorry, didn't mean to be a drag. Based on the following bit from her background, we can say that her quest has brought her to the Citadel (at some point).

She's been in and out of demi-planes connected to the Elemental plane of Fire.

And, by no means am I expecting you to write in Va’Kharen as anything in the AP. That's her quest up until now... and she might feel that the events in the AP will eventually lead her to them.

Finding allies (the party) means she can survive longer in a hostile environment, so she's keen on that and happy to help them with what they've got going on. In her mind, she's chasing an immortal and her quest is one of a lifetime, so there is no rush.

Now... what's happened to her since she's appeared "here/there" (citadel) is up to you. Place her where it is most convenient without being "lazy" I guess... wherever it makes sense.

I mean given the "inaccurate" nature of planar travel and her resourceful nature (wizard hirelings, use of scrolls beyond her ability), she could materialize into any encounter the party is in at any time and, have just arrived!

No bond stronger that that forged in... Fire?

OK, we will make it an accidental arrival.

As soon as Marcus defeats the giant speed bump it will not be long before he catches up and I can have them enter the room Amaimon is about to enter.

:)

is paizo going slow for anyone else?

Few days now, yessir.

Frustratingly
