So I created a company, and invited other players, who were able to join.
I invited my DT and I see her in the pending invites, but when I try to accept (/vcaccept) I get the message that no invite exist for the character.

Other points, is it possible to transfer leadership of a company, or is it a disband, re-create situation to change leaders?

Thanks for the responses.

Well I was thinking one of the following for my DT:
Jeweller
Engineer
Alchemist
Artificier

So does anyone have any advice on these, I know that Jeweller is dependant on the supplies of jewels, which is low at the moment, bu the others, any good?

Thanks

Members of the Hammerfall settlement are going to be logging in and starting their characters this weekend, so to best serve the community we did want to know what was needed the most as crafters so we could concentrate on filling the voids.

So we are looking to know what is most needed.

Thanks

So I only have one account, and I am not planning to get any more.

It was possible before to have multiple characters from the same account logged on at the same time which was perfect for trading components between them.
Now this is not possible, so how am I supposed to pass stuff from my gatherer to my crafter?

Especially as there is almost never anyone on around the times I log in.

Hello
I was just wondering if there exists a source where we can see what those icons mean on the mini-map and in combat?

I have found some information, but not a lot.

Also, where can I find hemp?

I have a question, what happens if I wish to be linked to a settlement, but do not want to join a company/guild?

Ok so last night, I logged off at 23h UTC.
Main character in Blackwood Glade.
Brand new character in Blackfeather Keep, I had deleted a character to start this one.

Log on just now.
Main in Marchmont! Never been there at all.
New character created last night missing and old deleted character back.

Ok if there was a rollback I can understand the old character being back and I am frustratingly going to have to start all over again.

On the other hand, why the teleport to Marchmont? This means yet ANOTHER trek back to Hammerfall, it seems as if I am doing this at least every second day now.

Is there ANYTHING I/we can do to help with these because I am getting extremely frustrated with the runs each time.

As a new player, I found that the game has a steep learning curve.
I did read quite a lot of the information out there, but I feel that there is some information that new players should be aware of and in short form it can be more helpful that telling them to go dig through the documentation out there.
Please feel free to add your points too or to ask questions.

1) Do NOT spend any xp unless you are absolutely sure you need the skill/feat/profession etc.
2) Always have a distance weapon of some sort, be it a bow or magic.
3) 'R' is autorun, 'Ctrl' will make you sprint, remember running away from a fight is an option.
4) Before purchasing anything that needs xp, ask yourself if you need it and have you researched it?
5) There are no stupid questions on the General chat during Alpha, and indeed during EE, most of the players do not bite, though TEO might ask you for your soul.
6) Quite a lot of bugs can be solved by logging out and waiting a minute or two, this can even fix the teleport bug.
7) You get basic attacks when equipping a weapon, these are enough to fight with it, unless you want to specialise more.
8) Knowledge skills and gatherer skills at level 1 are cheap and indespensable, IMHO.
9) DO NOT ATTACK THE THORNGUARDS, they never forget a name.

If I think of more I will add them.

Hello I was wondering if the chronicle for the 'Trial of the Beast' is correct or if there is an errata for it?

There are two boons for this chronicle, one of which is extremely overpowered, IMHO, yet as written it has unlimited uses. I wanted to know if this stands or if it has been changed?

The boon in question:

Spoiler:

Remnants of the Beast: You used the Bondslave Thrall to command the Beast of Lepidstadt, which destroyed the aberrant promethean and freed Caromarc. Although you severed the link to the Beast long ago, a vestige of its ferocity lingers within you. As a move action, you may tap into this power to grant yourself one of the following abilities for 1d3+1 rounds.
•Add half your character level to weapon damage rolls against creatures that are flat-footed or flanked by you.
•You gain a deflection bonus to your Armor Class equal to half your character level.
•You gain fast healing equal to 2 plus half your character level.

Hello all,

Well it may surprise you to know that not everyone in the world speaks English, GASP!

So over here in chocolate and cheese land, aka Switzerland, no that is SWITZER-land not Sweden, no we do not speak Swedish, or Swiss for that matter, I reside in the French speaking area where thanks to our fearless VOs <THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE! CHEERS!> we have a pretty thriving PFS community.

Well not everyone can grasp the nuances of the English language and a lot of our local players do not speak it, so when it comes to Library of the Lion this kind of causes a problem. To translate each card on the fly as well as the word play and enigma would probably make this a two-slotter and drive me to drink, oh wait too late for that one.

So before I launch myself overboard, err..., into the translation I was wondering if some kind hearted soul/GM/Quebecer had already done this?

Thanks for your time.

Couple of questions about pregen characters.

When you play a pregen, once you make it to the chronicle, do you already have to apply it to a character, or can you hold on to it and apply it to the first of your characters that qualifies for it.

Ex: I have two 6th level chars and play a 7th pregen, do I have to decide on reception of the chronicle which one to give it to?

If it is the case that you have to apply the chronicle once you get it, what happens if the character you applied it too dies with no hope of coming back?

Ex: Play a 4th level pregen and decide to give it to a 1st level character, who promptly dies next adventure and the body is not recoverable.
Can the pregen credit be applied to another character or is it lost?

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering.

If you make a medium or heavy armour in Mithral, it is treated as one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations.

What exactly are these other limitations?

I have a player asking if he can wear a barbed vest over a Mithral breastplate, my knee-jerk reaction would be no, but I am not 100% sure.

Barbed Vest:
Thin leather flaps keep the hundreds of tiny, fishhook-like needles dotting the surface of this black vest from harming
you while you wear it. However, any creature that injures you with a natural or unarmed attack must make a DC 15 Reflex save or take 1 point of damage. If a creature swallows you, it takes 1 point of damage each round until it either spits you up, you escape, or you die (at which point the vest has sustained enough damage that it no longer serves as a threat). The vest can only be worn over light armor or no armor. (my bold)
