I think my build is complete. I had to manually add some things as my version of herolab didn't have some racial options or the herald caller archetype, but I believe everything is correct.

Elena looks good. The last is the first. :)

Okay, I think I've got her done: Umazura

Funny enough, scrolling through pics I found the one I've currently got for her. And I actually thought to myself, "That looks like the Inquistor iconic what's her name." Yeah I know it begins with an I. Im-something.

Anyway, it's not her. It's a Blackfire adept or something like that. But at least it's decent and it's the best option out there.

I actually have a link of a picture under her name that is pretty much perfect of what she looks like. It's too bad they don't have an avatar for that one. I know it doesn't match the avatar but if the avatar was green skinned it would be pretty close to spot on.

That's a really cool image for Umazura, Javell! How/where did you find it? I might very well go shopping around there for some art myself in the future :)

Human Sorcerer 9 ~ AC 20 (t 18, ff 18) | F+5, R+5, W+9 | Init +5/7, Per +1 | Metamagic Adept: 2/2 | HP 62/62

BACKGROUND
Axton Vendian is the son of two competing glassblowers who both have businesses in Magnimar. The fact that his parents fell in love and married only enhanced their competitiveness, driving both his mother and father to new heights of skill in their profession. Any hopes of Axton following in their footsteps were dashed, however, when Axton reached puberty, and a beautiful, magnificent Varisian mustache appeared fully formed on his upper lip. Both of his grandmothers proclaimed the mustache as a sign of their families' magical heritages coming to the fore in young Axton. While the young man did not share his parents' passion for glassblowing, their desire to excel and their passion for taking their talent to its furthest limits was quickly evident in the burgeoning sorcerer.

Axton's exploration of his bloodline's magic and his research into his heritage both have led him to the ancient empire of Thassilon. Together with the rat Intrepid, his emotional support animal, Axton has joined the Pathfinder Society, hoping to use the organization's resources to explore Varisia's past and unlock his own magical potential.

Description: It's hard to notice what Axton looks like beyond his magnificent mustache, but vague recollections remain of a handsome man with dark hair and friendly eyes.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Man, I simply went and typed in "half-orc female" on google. There are several that are really good. And I was torn between them. But that was the one I felt fit her greatly.

I wish Paizo would come up with some good pics like that, that have them at least smiling. Sheesh. Heck, just don't have them look so mad and THAT in an of itself would be an improvement.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Oh man that Axton dude reminds me of somebody. Somebody but who?... Man that's going to bug me. Going to have to think on that one.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

You know, I believe that very well could remind me of Freddie Mercury. (To be honest, I asked my wife and that was her take on it. And after looking at pics of him, I'm thinkin' that's it). :)

It's definitely got that "70's 'stache" vibe going for it. Never trust a guy with a 'stache from the 70's. ;)

It's a really cool pic, I gotta say. I've never seen that one.

The 'stache doesn't need your trust. Just your respect.

I like how 80% of the backstory is about the 'stache, and I laughed harder than I probably should have :)

It's not actually a 'stache. It's really his familiar resting on his lip.

Lol! Oh man that's truly pathetic. Pretty funny though. :)

I can see it now:

Pathfinder Captain lady: "And you are?"

Axton: Giving the captain 'the look' - which as far as he's concerned NO woman can resist - while stroking his magnificent mustache, "Look, all you need to know, babe, is I'm the guy with the 'stache. Need I say more?" he asks in a very smooth and suave voice, giving her an arrogant grin and shooting her a wink before waggling his eyebrows.

Lol! He calls her 'babe'! Oh my gosh that is so excellent. (Yes, I do make myself laugh. I can't help it. That, to me, would just be so dang funny. Well that and I am probably slightly insane). :P

Would also be funny if it turned out the stache was a figment familiar and was thus part of Axton's imagination the whole time!

Man that's just disgusting sounding. There's NO WAY I'd choose that kind of familiar even if I WAS an arcane fan.

I made a slight error on my last post, which I'll chalk up to the huge amount of environmental noise around me as I typed it on the phone. Healing magic is of course, conjuration instead of evocation. I think a cleric like Elana would know this IC as part of her base training even without ranks in spellcraft (yet). But eh, for the post to make sense, let's say she's too nervous to fully think straight :)


Are you sure you want to do that?

The garnets can go in the party loot. Which some one can bravely manage.

Anyone putting their hand up for the dagger or ring?


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Zura will take the ring. Absolutely.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

I was actually going to ask a question last night, but I was so freaking tired I was falling asleep at the computer. It was pretty pathetic. :P And I didn't completely like what I had going anyway so I just called it quits.

Plus, I wanted to give the diplomacy people a shot. Zura's diplomacy is pretty "meh" currently but it'll get better.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

HA! That's 2 natural 20's on knowledge checks. And an 18 on a sense motive. Boom! You can't stop this freight train!

Now, if only I could roll like that when it actually means something. Like, you know, killing bad guys. :P (Unfortunately for me, that's when the 1's and 2's start popping out).


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

So do we want to check out the slavers meeting in the run down tavern?

Or do we go to the guards?

I gotta say, kinda interested in crashing the slavers meeting party. :)

I think that making friends with the slavers sounds like it would be fun. I'm very curious to see how Grom will act.


Human Sorcerer 9 ~ AC 20 (t 18, ff 18) | F+5, R+5, W+9 | Init +5/7, Per +1 | Metamagic Adept: 2/2 | HP 62/62

We could also ambush the slavers. Capture one and turn it over to Grom and/or Gul for information.

It's socially acceptable to be violent against slavers!


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Gotta say, I'm liking socially acceptable. :)


Are you sure you want to do that?

Apologies, I've been out in the hot sun all day helping my parents with their garden. I'm exhausted and going to bed shortly. So no update I'm afraid.


Human Sorcerer 9 ~ AC 20 (t 18, ff 18) | F+5, R+5, W+9 | Init +5/7, Per +1 | Metamagic Adept: 2/2 | HP 62/62

Here's our loot sheet. Please let me know if you cannot edit it. DBH, please add the link in the Campaign Info tab or up top.

I'm happy to manage the loot sheet by selling loot and divvying up the total for paydays, but I'd really like it if everyone else can manage their own items. What I mean by this is is that if you claim an item, please remove it from the loot sheet when you add it to your character sheet. And anyone can feel free to add loot that DBH hands out. Just say as much so the items aren't added more than once.

I can't access Google Drive pages from work (I have to look at combat maps on my phone), so since I can really only work with the list at nights and on weekends, this sort of help is appreciated.


Human Sorcerer 9 ~ AC 20 (t 18, ff 18) | F+5, R+5, W+9 | Init +5/7, Per +1 | Metamagic Adept: 2/2 | HP 62/62

That said, there's two items on the list that I think should be claimed so that we can use them when needed. Any takers on the Ring of Feather Falling or the silver dagger?

Btw, for loot distribution...I've never really cared all that much about who gets what. So long as the group is stronger as a whole, it doesn't bother me if someone has more or less. This is because I find that when people need to 'buy' items from the group pot, almost everything goes unclaimed. This is because items that aren't "ideal" end up just being sold because nobody wants to spent their WBL on a ring of featherfall. I'd much rather see people grab and use those items instead of seeing them all sold so that people can buy the usual christmas tree items.

But that's just my preference. If the group would rather have people buy from the pot, I'm ok with that to.

Grom can survive with a big sword and a fine cloak.

Agreed.

I've actually never been in a group that requires PCs to buy from group loot, and the only time I've ever seen a group worry about WBL is when the GM asked us to calculate our gp value because he wanted to see if he was giving out enough magic items.

No way I could have said this any better myself. I am of the exact same mind. When it comes to items, I don't care who gets what. It's never really mattered to me. In my mind, it all works out in the wash at some point. But even if it doesn't, then that's cool too. As long as the game is enjoyable, then it's all good to me. :)

Are you sure you want to do that?

I was in one game where one player went through everyone's character sheets calculating how much they had. Then demanded that things people wanted be sold so that they could have enough gold to be level with other players.

Most agreed, I didn't as it would cost my fighter a better set of armor. So it was sold and my character left the group. It's a stupid idea and I'm glad the party agrees.

I was running the martial character and we'd had a string of good martial gear. The rest felt it wasn't fair. I often wonder what would have happened had I bided my time and started demanding magic items they wanted be sold?

But that wasn't really the sort of player I wanted to be, so I left them to it.

I agree with this. Also, there's some issues with this system not accounting for that party tanks tend to need a lot more gold to gear up as they need to maintain expensive armor/shields next to the rest of their stuff, especially at low levels. I'm down for handing it to whoever benefits from it the most.


Male Humanly Awesome 'n Totally Rockin' Paladin of Greatness

Good for you, DBH! That, to me, just brings a game down. "Let's make sure we're all even." "Hey! How come he's got greater wealth than me!" "Well that's not fair you gave them that!" etc., etc. Ugh. Just wears me out. Too freaking nitpicky. I don't blame you for stepping out. I would've too. Seriously no fun.

EXACTLY! "...whoever benefits from it the most." This is perfectly said as well.

During a game when there's loot found, I always tend to go through and figure out who's suffering what where and who can benefit from whatever the most. It just makes the most sense. Whoever has the worst saves should get the cloak of resistance. Whoever is lacking on armor, should get the ring of protection. (Although, like Trevor said, I would lean more toward the tanks in getting such than anyone else. I mean, AC for a wizard is far less important than for a smasher).

Like I said, just let it make sense. It's not difficult. A wizard does not need a Tome of constitution +2. They just don't. Not unless everyone else has already used one. (I say that because there was this wizard that actually wanted to use one that was found. We have a tank(barbarian) of all things that takes a BEATING on a consistent basis, and the wizard wanted said tome).

Needless to say the group was for giving it to the barbarian but I really didn't get that thought process. And it's a good thing too we didn't give it to them, the player was a replacement player and didn't last 3 months before they just up and quit without a word. Although, as typical for most I've noticed over the years, still applying for other games. Anyway, I digress.

Lol! Yeah, Grom, that's PvP, bucko! And get your own tumor familiar! By the way, his name is 'Axton', not 'Samson'. ;) Plus, it'll only take him a couple of weeks to grow it back. Then you guys would practically be twins. That'd be cool. ;)

Crap. I totally forgot the chick's name we're looking for. Maybe one of you will see this and hit me up with the name before I'm able to find it by scouring the thread for it. I'm hung up in the middle of a post because of it. Blasted memory! :P

Edit: Found it! I knew it began with an 'N'. :)

Having played through this myself I think is a good time for everyone to level up.

You're still at the stage where skill rolls are important so a little advancement is helpful.
