Discussion!
just posting my last few requests, as I imagine it will be easier to do all this from Discussion, rather than going back and forth:
A few last mechanical requests:
1) Please make sure you have your crunch and your background within your character profile.
2) Everyone, also please update your tagline to these specifications:
Leo, as you are creating your alias, having the text of your powers. abilities within your profile (like River's) would be greatly appreciated. The Kineticist is a pretty complex class in terms of all the moving parts and lists of powers (that I'm not familiar with) and not having to look them up myself will be a big time-saver.
**
(hope the repetition doesn't sound like nagging, just reposting for convenience)
River is starting over with a more-or-less blank slate memory-wise, so any 'connections' would be feeling rather than actually knowing. As a thought she was originally in Light to do some performances - since she's a good dancer. Maybe she's been on tour (alone or as part of a troupe) and Leo/Ben might have seen her as part of a show somewhere else?
River, I like this idea, so they might at least know who you were at one point, without having a direct connection (we'll save that for Gull)
**
Leonardo and Benedetto, are you alright with the idea of training together as you grew into your powers and skills? This would be a way for you to know each other, without changing the backstories you already have in mind.
For the record, I would be happy to "reconstitute" Zephyr for this reboot: would be amazing for him to be a kinesticist also; his companion Fury would become an elemental whisper in that case.
Let me know what we think.
(Zephyr is one of our current players!)
I have no problem with that! :) Since we will be having a slow-ish start to all this with the holidays, please take the time to re-do Zephyr in a style that makes you happy.
In general, with a fair number of kineticists in the party now, please make sure we're all feeling distinct and that we have all the bases covered in terms of utility, damage, and healing. I leave it up to you.
And for everyone playing a Kineticist, please make your profile as much like River's as possible (copy/pasting the text of all individual powers, etc, because I cannot spare the time to look them up, as this is essentially a brand-new class to me)

I shall try to add them. Its a lot, so I may just make a separate spoiler for them. merry Christmas as well.
as a note, I'd remind people that Kineticist healing is a stop gap. Its a big heal, relatively speaking, but it comes with a point of burn for one person. And if it ever matters, it won't compare to heal/greater restoration type spells.
That being said it is a lot of healing and I'll pick up the restoration type ability eventually. So Rorek is right, we won't be able to take you from one point to full in a single shot, but as long as you don't die, everything else will be fine. :)
River isn't technically a kineticist but in terms of party role she's a frontliner. HP, good AC (and hopefully with GM permission a bit later on, better ac!) and a lot of movement when needed. She'll be dancing around the battlefield looking to get between the scary things and everyone else.
So if Zephyr goes air and flies all the time, and Rorek takes some of the usual fire blasty stuff we should be fine!
Once Bennedetto gets his paladin abilities reinstated he'll be able to do some small healing, too.
I should be able to get to reformatting things later this evening.
Much appreciated everyone - I'm going to post once more in Gameplay, and you can start posting whenever you feel ready to begin (the final polishing of sheets isn't necessary right away, just soon-ish)
I will be sure to ninja-dot shortly
As I'm reading through backgrounds, etc, I'm usually in the habit of giving new characters an additional skill (so imagine it is "trained", and you have 1 rank/lvl to spend exclusively on this one skill; just a small boon)
--->Benedetto, you've been making it on your own as a scoundrel for a while. You should have Survivial, so please give yourself 9 ranks, consider it trained, etc. (for free)
----Leonardo, please give yourself 9 ranks in knowledge Religion and consider it trained, to reflect your Temple-based upbringing. (for free)
**
Also, I'm seeing a decent amount of skill overlap, and I wanted to ask if these changes might help:
--River keeps diplomacy, it seems to suit her undine nature and high charisma
--Leonardo gets half ranks bluff / half ranks diplomacy, and gets an additional +2 to bluff (he has many ways of talking things out)
--Benedetto gets full ranks and trained in intimidate instead of diplomacy (the blazing presence of the phoenix paladin!) but it is not active right now
**
feel free to also say "no thanks" to my ideas - they are your characters :)
---River, please give yourself full ranks in Sense Motive, and consider it trained (for free). You are very good at reading people, even with no memories of learning.
I can do that change!

Poor Byron, dead in the snow and none of us even noticed. XD

In my defense, River has a tendency to distraction, or hyperfocus. Neither of which makes her perceptive. :D
Big snow storm coming my way - if I'm not posting for a few days, it's because we lost power.
Never lost power, yay!
I'd like to join together this group with my other table (Beyond the City of Light) this week -- we actually only have 1 memeber remaining from that group (1 left suddenly, 1 dropped PbP games in general, and 1 just had a baby).
I'll let you know when we'll migrate over to the other thread :)
Huzzah for not losing power!
I'm not a fan of the -5 F and 15 mph winds , but I'll take what I can get :)
My car is not a fan of the cold weather either and has informed me that my battery is old. XD
I don't want to interrupt the flow of the current scene, but I would absoltuely love to hear on this page:
---->What does your character's morning routine look like? How do you prepare for the day? Which gods, if any, do you pray to?
River is in no way organised enough to do things like 'prepare' or have a 'routine'. She might have prayed to the gods in a past life but now... nothing.
Anyone who does pray or have a routine might find her mimic-ing them at some point though.
Hi all!
This combat is going to join us with "Beyond the City of Light", so please join me
I'll have a few introductions/etc in Discussion. I'll also post a recap of the combat thus far in Gameplay.
This Campaign will be closed in a few days (since we are all porting over to Beyond Light)
