Welcome to those selected! I hipe we will have a fun game. Please finalize your characters for my review.
Gomlock, traits are not allowed in this game, so you will need to amend your sheet.
Hello all! Thanks for the selection. I changed her stats a little, upped her Charisma. Also added a pic to her profile - I picture her like that except she has a white streak of hair (a la X-Men Rogue), as a reminder of when she first saw her sister in banshee form.
Thanks for the invite Death-Lok, I was procrastinating on Ivar's background until I knew if he was in the game or not. I'll get it sorted today.

Hmm, I had missed that, any particular reason? Is that also the case with Additional Traits?

The reason for 'no traits' was the same reason he kept it to core feats and limited classes. The idea of "toning down the players' power level." so he wouldn't have to modify the AP.
As for 'additional traits' for a feat, that's a good question. I would think that since we're harkening back to some core ideas that 'traits' basically don't exist.

Yes, the ban also applies to the feat. Since this was a 3.5 AP, I want to harken back to that edition where traits did not exist.
Hello y'all,
Looking forward to kicking this adventure off. I think my character sheet is ready to go but extra eyes are always appreciated.
Looks like everyone's here :)

Comments:
Craft Staff has a prerequisite of Caster level 11. Also indicate which two items were crafted with the Craft Wondrous Item feat.
Looks like everyone's here :)
Comments on Character Sheet:
Will save should be +8/10.Your +2 shield gives you -1 ACP and your armor -3 ACP for total of -4.
Your Climb check should be +12 (+6 Str +3 skill +3 rank).
Stealth skill is not a class skill.
You should put at least 1 rank in sailor for background and Heart of Fields racial trait to make sense.

Waiting for you to to modify the traits/feat selections.

Sylvana, I know HL auto-calculates feats and skills, but could you break down skill ranks and feats selected (by level). Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the double check, seems my math is not as good as I want it to be. Will save fixed. Wasn't planning on Ivar using shield much, but went ahead and changed it to 'Darkwood' so I don't have to worry about it, money came from dropping CLW potions to three instead of five. Str check on climb and swim adjusted and took the skill points from stealth and put them in sailor.
Thanks to the three of you for making the necessary edits. Now, waiting to see if Gomlock is going to participate. If not, will replace him.
My sheet should now be up to date.
Can you add a gameplay thread we can dot into please, it makes it much easier to see if something has been posted/

Will do tonight when I get off work.
Gameplay Thread is up!
Cool!
Ok, dotted and deleted. I'll try and get a post up soon.
A little info, I'm in EST and normally I spend my day taking care of my mom who is in late stages of Alsheimer's and the rest of the time posting. My normal routine has been interrupted due to my wife taking a half a week off and one of my aunt's visiting today. So, a little more distracted than usual.
At some point, this morning or early afternoon, I'll read the in-game threads and get a post up and will have Ivar's background finished by the weekend after my wife heads back to work.
Welcome Mei, always nice to have a cleric.
Just to note, I am away this weekend.
To set the stage for the campaign, in case it was not clear from the opening post, you have all been selected in the lottery and are gathered in the staging area while you await further instructions from the Champion's Games officials. Deduct 100 gp from your gold. So you can rp meeting each, as Sylvana has done.
I'll make a proper post later today, work has been a little crazy the past two days, sorry for the delay
Death-Lok, I was very excited when you said:
... I am looking for players to post at least once per day on the weekdays.
So I'm scratching my head a little, I guess I should have asked for more clarification. Did it mean you would post daily and expect the players to keep up with you, or you hoped the players would post daily and you would wait for all of them to post before you did?
I have the ability to post multiple times a day, but I find continuous posting from one player and the gm doesn't motivate the other players very well. So I try to post at the same rate as the gm and at least one other character. I'll also post when another character directly interacts with my character, again keeping the pace set by the GM.
Just asking to get a feel for your posting rate and expectations.
If we can't post daily should we have 'botting' instructions on our characters page?
Ivar, I meant that I expect players to post once per day at a minimum M-F. I understand that weekends can be busy. Obviously, if players can post more, especially, during combat, it will be encouraged and appreciated. I will try to post regularly to keep the game moving, but will let rping play itself out between the players. If you're going to be out, just give me a heads up is all I ask.
Paric, it would be nice if you posted. :)
hmmmm, posted in game, I had intended for Ivar just to comment and leave the 'diplomacy' rolls to the others. But it definitely sounds like he's making a 'request' to ask Ekaym to take less than 50%. So I changed my OOC.
When in conversation, I tend to not roll for the communication skills unless I'm intentionally making a specific roll for the description of the skill: Ie, influence attitude, or make a request. I see a lot of folks who make a 'diplomacy' roll and don't identify what their trying to accomplish, so I find it a little confusing.
Death-Lok, I don't know your preferences on the topic. If you have any info or opinion to share to help us understand how you'd interpret it that would be great.

Ivar, with Diplomacy/K Local skills, I stress more the rping than the roll. If it's clever or ingenious, I will give the player a bonus to the roll. The die rolls are not important - the rping is more important.
Were at four: Mei, Ivar, Gomlock and Sylvana. A barbarian, cleric, sorcerer (focused on intelligence so plenty of knowledge) and fighter/rogue. It feels like were fairly well covered.
I wasn't sure if you meant four or five. I'm happy with four, but if you think we need a fifth, since it's age of worms, I'd recommend the paladin. Another frontliner with 'divine' influence wouldn't hurt and I've played with Edeldhur, he's a consistent, competent, cooperative player. Just food for thought.

Let’s see how we do with 4 and will reconsider at later time, if necessary.
Death-Lok, I hope things are well with you and yours. It's been a bit since you've posted. I'm going to move this game to inactive, if you get back and want to restart, please send me a PM.
Thanks for giving the game a go. Good luck and good gaming everyone.
