Yeah transition periods always throw me off as well.
I'm sick and barely able to get out of bed. Please bot Rin as needed.
Apologize for the delays; as some of you may know I work in domestic operations for the national guard so when riots happen sometimes I get slammed at work.
Just wanted to say that I love how chatty our group is during combats. :)
As an FYI: a few hours ago, I very suddenly developed several symptoms of covid-19, so I'm getting tested in the morning. I will try to keep posting but, y'know, I don't feel super great right now. I am supposed to have results by the end of the weekend.

Hope you stay healthy then! No worries about the game, post if you feel up to it and can, but take care of yourself!
Thanks for the kind words. The test sucks, I do not recommend it, but I am feeling okay at the moment.
When I had to get it I went to Walgreens and it was not bad, but my wife they did the whole all the way up the nose one and she said it was awful.
That sounds absolutely dreadful. I am glad there is testing available though. Hoping you feel even better soon.
I’ve been really busy recently folks, sorry about that. Trying to get caught up on all my games now.
There is an option to withdraw while staggered - you can find it in the PRD here at the bottom of the page. You certainly know Mitsuru better than I do, but the option is available if she would want to take it.
You're right, I never noticed that!
I just love it when the dice match the narrative.
Also I went through the loot list and picked some things I think we should sell. Look through and see if you want to keep or sell something.
Sorry guys tough week and then Paizo site has been acting up and I've missed some of the chances I had to update because of that- I'll get Part 2 rolling later today.
I need to do the final calculations one exact XP amount, but you will definitely level to 2 here as well!
Wahoo! I take that to mean we should start updating profiles to lvl 2?
Yes, absolutely! Go ahead and level up now.
Nice, Ill have to take a gander at our treasure and funds for shopping. I got my guy levelled just need to transfer it to my profile.
Woohoo! Level 2 means I get my first rogue talent, Minor Magic. An at-will cantrip!!! I will probably take acid splash, because you can't go wrong with a ranged touch attack that I can use for sneak attacks. Bonus, it's an SLA, so I can use it while disguised as a fox. Nobody's gonna see that one coming.
Also, added up the currency and stuff that's already marked for sale, which comes to a total of 3,224.5 GP, or 537.41 GP split six ways. I'm assuming we are still giving Tenchi a cut for when he returns.
That said, I haven't seen any activity from him anywhere in the 2 months since he last posted, so I'm not sure if he will. If we split it 5 ways it's 644.9 GP per person.
I'm gonna go ahead and add values to everything that's currently in the sheet.

Okay, list updated with prices, and consolidated it a bit (rolled all the skyrockets together, for example). Anything that was marked for sale is off the main list.
Also worth plugging that caravan sheet that Emili posted on the last page. Don't have to use it, obviously, but damn, that thing is pretty.
@mitsuru thanks for updating the sheet, and yeah the caravan sheet looks great. Also I'm not sure if Tenchi will be returning or not.
At 2nd level, a ninja gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy she can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in the ninja's ki pool is equal to 1/2 her ninja level + her Charisma modifier. As long as she has at least 1 point in her ki pool, she treats any Acrobatics skill check made to jump as if she had a running start. At 10th level, she also reduces the DC of Acrobatics skill checks made to jump by 1/2 (although she still cannot move farther than her speed allows).
By spending 1 point from her ki pool, a ninja can make one additional attack at her highest attack bonus, but she can do so only when making a full attack. In addition, she can spend 1 point to increase her speed by 20 feet for 1 round. Finally, a ninja can spend 1 point from her ki pool to give herself a +4 insight bonus on Stealth checks for 1 round. Each of these powers is activated as a swift action. A ninja can gain additional powers that consume points from her ki pool by selecting certain ninja tricks.
The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive. If the ninja possesses levels in another class that grants points to a ki pool, ninja levels stack with the levels of that class to determine the total number of ki points in the combined pool, but only one ability score modifier is added to the total. The choice of which score to use is made when the second class ability is gained, and once made, the choice is set. The ninja can now use ki points from this pool to power the abilities of every class she possesses that grants a ki pool.
Sorry for more delays guys, I ran into the "No Store" screen yesterday again.
Totaling the story award and encounter experience, its comes out to 1763 XP each, which added to the 750 you got from the Goblin village brings everyone's total to 2513 XP and firmly second level on the medium track of experience.
It seems that Tenchi is permanently gone, unfortunately, so I am bringing in another player to replace him, going with someone a few of us at least know who has been active on the boards GMing/playing for a long time, so I would like to welcome Crusader Wolf to the campaign as we move forward into Book 1 Part 2 here.
Welcome Crusader, can't wait to see what you are playing.
@DM how did we want to handle Tenchi leaving?

Hello everyone!
I'm reading through the character creation rules and your own statblocks right now but to make sure I don't step on any toes C&C are welcome. I figure a support role would be good so I'm thinking about rolling an Evangelist cleric of Shizuru with a focus on summoning. Inspire Courage + a host of minions seems like a fun combo and I've never tried it before. Given how buff-heavy the cleric spell list is I could also be a secondary melee combatant if needed!
I'm more fuzzy on how to integrate my character into the party, and my original concept was a samsaran who has served Ameiko's family in a prior life but it seems like that's too similar to one already taken. Again, suggestions welcome!
Having another Samsaran wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the GM is okay with it. Possibly adds some interplay about intertwining or chance encounters in past lives.
This new discovery might be a tool to have characters come and go, having discovered the fate of one of the other servants of the family.
It's completely up to the GM how to handle it, obviously, but it would be relatively easy to say that Tenchi decides to stick closer to Ameiko in order to protect her. That gets him out of the party without having him abandon his family, and means he'll still be around in the (eventual) caravan if Vrog ever returns.
Yes- he will essentially stay as an NPC in the Caravan.
Another Samsaran wouldn't be off the table, but I think Crusader Wolf PMed he was going a different direction.
Alright, finishing my level up and shopping.
Edit: Also a question, can I buy specialized arrows in smaller batches than 50?
Oh, should I roll for HP? I just took the average + 1 (5).
I guess I hadn't established it- I will leave the choice to you- you can choose average+1, or you can roll and hope for more.
[dice=HP]1d8
Alright, finishing my level up and shopping.
Edit: Also a question, can I buy specialized arrows in smaller batches than 50?
Yes, in fact many of them are priced individually.
Sorry- yes, if there's a price listed only for 10 or whatever, you can do the math- if you only wanted 5 blunt arrows (listed as 2 GP for 20) you'd pay 5 silver, ect.

Here's the beginnings of the profile I put together over lunch, I'm at work in CST so I won't have it finished until later this afternoon/evening.
I think that your Swordtrained racial trait should automatically give you proficiency with katanas, in case that was why you picked Heirloom Weapon.
Oh yeah that's left over from when this profile was a human Steelblood, the traits haven't been updated yet!
Very much an incomplete profile right now
Oh dear - that's going to be quite confusing if both you and the GM use the same profile picture. XD
Hahaha and I have a player using that avatar in a Reign of Winter game so that's super confusing for me. I really wish Paizo would add more avatars or let people upload their own.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
The lack of good Tengu pictures is truly annoying!
My GM profile name does come from an in my world NPC who is a Tengu Investigator who wears a literal pot on his head Johnny Appleseed style- but there is no support from paizo for it!
I've switched to the cool blue griffon picture to avoid confusion.
And I wouldn't suspect there will be until paizo completely overhauls their site. Until then the [url=https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/paizo-campaign-tools/ibfgfbafipmhmjohndaekilkkldeahgd]Campaign Tools addon[url] is decent for sticking custom images on top of accounts.
If anyone wants me to view your johnny appleseed tengu(as it were) feel free to share images.
Sadly, since I'm a writer rather than an artist my Johnny Appleseed Tengu exists solely in the theater of the mind and in a goofy accent/ speech pattern I use for him.
Uh, so, half+1 it is.
I'm going to go ahead and take a ninja level. Might be the only one, lol. Since I'm the only Arcane Caster in the group, I'll mostly take Sorcerer. But I still want to do Arcane Trickster, so I need at least a little Ninja.
Did something happen to the inventory sheet?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Sorry-
I pulled the inventory link, I thought we were transitioning to using the one on the caravan sheet here:
I think I got everything copied over from the other one:
Cool beans, the caravan link wasn't showing previously. Appreciate it.
Is the Whispering Shrike the same weapon as the mwk cold iron wakizashi we recovered?
Alright, leveled up and ready to roll!
And if you haven't already, please fill out your character information in the Caravan/Inventory spreadsheet so all the cool tricks built into the sheet function correctly!
Alright, here is Jiro all stated up (pending approval of a Traits question) except for gear. Should he begin with the full wealth of a 2nd level character?
Also, how is the party on healing? A partial wand of CLW or a scroll of Lesser Restoration might be good items for Jiro to have on hand.
Wand of CLW would be nice. What were you thinking for Jiro's backstory? Would he be new in town or a resident of Sandpoint?
I had a foot-in-both-worlds idea for him; short version is that his granddad was a Linnorm-lander caravan guard who settled down in Minkai (or thereabouts) with a Shizuran tengu; when the Jade Regent came to power they fled back across the crown of the world to take shelter with that side of the family. So Jiro grew up in Ulfen lands but with a strong Minkaian influence, including the worship of Shizuru. Visions from the Empress of Heaven have led Jiro south in search of their source. He's probably not entirely sure what it is he's looking for just yet.
