I agree about keeping track.
One thing I've done as a GM is if I see that things seem to be getting a bit unbalanced, I tweak the treasure to fit the underrepresented characters more. A tracker would help that.
I will get it set up and linked at the top margin. Might take just a bit of orientation to understand it, but will provide when I get it up.
Here is the Loot Tracker I usually use for PBP games.
The first tab is found, but not allocated loot. Usually this is things that will be sold. If an item is in this list, it can't be used in rounds as it is held by "no one".
The second tab is actual cash. I need your starting amounts to keep this current. Purchase will be deducted, finds will be added etc.
The third tab is loot that is assigned with approx value, so you can see how things have weighted out over time.
I will attach at the top margin if you are ok to use going forward.
Miriani ia at 12 gold.
Warning, walls of text ahead. Please let me know if you have questions about Eiwa's expostion.
Sorry, been a crazy week. I'll try to respond properly and catch up this saturday
I'm preparing to go on a thanksgiving vacation for 9 days or so, and while I should have internet it will be a lot less frequent. So if you need to skip waiting for Hurik or roll for him rather than let me slow it down, go for it. Sorry about any trouble
Thanks for the heads up. I will bot you as needed after brief waiting period. Hope your vacation is terrific!
Game coming back online after a short holiday break. I am thankful for great players like you guys who keep things interesting!
Just got back home. had a good time but wifi was terrible there so I could barely get on. I will try to catch up tonight or tomorrow.
Glad you are back!
The Dice gods are ANGRY
Maybe you can appease them with some good, old-fashioned combat.
If that was a crit, let me know. :)

It is clearly a hit, but not a critical one. Still probably enough damage to hurt really bad
Seems like the last couple games have had the party, then the bad guys, then me. Oh well.

Think of it as saving the best for last!

Crit for max damage, and persistent? Looks like it was saving my best.
@Tharshk.
Gravity Weapon is what we call a focus spell. You start with one focus point, and you can recharge it by spending ten minutes in an appropriate class activity. This can overlap with another exploration activity. So for a ranger scouting, sneaking, hunting, or observing wildlife are the kinds of activities that would recharge this.
I think it's obvious that ten minutes haven't passed. But Gravity weapon lasts one minute or ten rounds. Since we finished this so quickly, I expect that you'll have some rounds left when we start the next fight.
So what does our most beneficent Game Master think? Would he have some rounds left on his spell?
Understood! Thank you for the explanation Miriani ;)
One round of combat and then just a few seconds of downtime. I would say that you have at least 5 rounds of Gravity Bow left. Sound fair?
Yep, sounds good ;)
@Tharshk
Hunted shot has flourish, and you can only use one flourish action each turn. But if you have an action left you can still use strike after this.
Thx for the explanation Miriani. This third strike would be at -10, right?

Yes, unless it's an agile weapon, the third strike is at -10

Per the text, characters should reach level 2 after the Burning Mammoth attacks on Rockloom. That's now!
Feel free to get yourselves ready for level 2. Please post your changes/choices/additions here so I can note them on my side as well. Even more well done!
Let me know if you have any questions as you advance.
woot!
Now I have to re-read the rules on leveling up :)
Are we doing free archetype in this game?
If not, then:
Class feat: Dangerous sorcery
Spell: heal
Skill feat: intimidating glare

Not doing free archetype. I have your updates made, and Miriani is good to go
Wohooo! Level up! :)
Class Feat - Animal Companion! (hoping we get a scene with my adoptive wolf pack :D)
Skill Feat - I am not sure... Would Battle Medicine be a good option?
Up to you re: Battle Medicine. It is a good skill to save party members (including yourself) but might be other options, if you choose.

I, for one, would not mind someone else in the party having the ability to heal on the fly. Say, for example, if Kheyji were to go down, just to pick a random example.
I will get Kheyji leveled up here shortly. I need to look back at my options, but this is when she will dip into the Sorcerer Archetype (as Sister Cinder blesses her with the element of flame).
Wohooo! Level up! :)

Skill Feat - I am not sure... Would Battle Medicine be a good option?
It never hurts to have multiple people who can do some emergency healing. Kheyji can't be everywhere.
I think Kheyji is good to go. Only question is about cleric cantrips. You show 6, but can't you have only 5 prepared per day?
Tharskh - got a name for the wolf companion? Maybe you can post the story about how you found the pups in character. There will be some down time as the following moves, so it could happen then.
Also, just confirm if its Battle Medicine you are taking.
Okay. Sorry, still trying to make sure I've got all the numbers adding up right for everything...
But I can say for Class Feat: No Escape
For Skill Feat: Hefty Hauler
I picked Hefty Hauler because it seemed to be realistically of use for a tribe on the move... also, I hate encumbrance rules in any system even if they really are quite logical ;)
Yeah, I'll go with Battle Medicine - I like the 'shamanic' vibe ;)
And I will have a writeup on the wolf companion as soon as possible!
I think everyone is good to go (or nearly so). I will move the Gameplay forward. Tharskh you can fit in a place to encounter your new furry friend.

Correct. I have 6 on there, but I’m tracking which ones are prepared with an “x” in the column to the left.
I just remembered I need to prep another 1st level cleric spell, too. I could use some input from the group: command, create water, protection, or something else?
Command can be really useful when it works.
I don't think that Protection is that great at this level. We're facing a lot of animals and the bad guys aren't necessarily all evil.
Admonishing ray can be useful if we have to fight a person or animal that we don't want to kill.
Hey everyone.
Wanted to let you know I will be traveling from the 19th December through the 3rd January, visiting family and so forth. I expect to have some time for posting but... It is completely unpredictable :D
Feel free to bot me as needed!
Thank you for letting us know. I imagine we will slow down the time around Christmas, as I will also be traveling.
Just FYI, I was PMed by Satu Varis asking if they could rejoin the game after illnesses and computer issues. Thoughts?

Sounds fine by me! I've been hit by RL like that myself before so I can sympathize.
I'm okay with people coming back in. I've had plenty of issues in my life, so I think it's good to cut people some slack.
Fine by me to have Satu Varis back in.
I will let them know. Easy enough to add in given the story pacing for the next little bit.
