I'll take it! I'll work it up as soon as I can.


I'd LOVE to get in on an Evil campaign, especially one a little lighter. Still looking?


M Human

Okay, but don't cancel it! I dig it too much to lose it.

Post Coming Soon


I'd love to give this a try. I've done a lot of PbP but it's been a while. I play PF regularly irl and know the rules pretty well. I DM for PFS irl on occasion.

Classes/Levels: Rogue 1
Gender M
Size M
Alignment NG
Languages Common, Orc
Strength 18
Dexterity 14
Constitution 14
Intelligence 10

Charisma 10

About Yorn
As a six and a half foot half-orc, Yorn sticks out. Usually this is a bad thing as a rogue but Yorn makes it work. Stealthy when he needs to be, strong as an ox when that fails, Yorn prefers subtle but is just as happy with plowing ahead if need be. Most of the time, Yorn seems to forget that he's a half-orc and it is easy for those who know him to forget his lineage as well. However, when Yorn loses his temper, his ancestry becomes clear...and usually really loud.


Woops! Nevermind. Just realized I've played this one already with a different character. Sorry! Enjoy!


Any room for a level 1 Half-Orc Rogue (scout) who has only had one session?


Still accepting testers for this?

I'm mostly confused by this. I apply it to a weapon... I hit somebody... and then I get a Knowledge check bonus? That's... extremely counter-intuitive.

Do I need to make the check right then, while I'm hitting the guy? "Oh no, orc attack!" ::WHACK:: "HEY, I've just figured out where the wand we're after is buried!" Am I, like, siphoning off the guy's knowledge? (If so, what if he's stupid?) I'm not grokking the central concept here.

I think something's broken with the mechanic as well - can I prick myself with a coated dagger for 1hp and a +10 bonus? How about a teammate? Or a half-dead goblin left over from last battle? A stray cat? It's generally pretty easy to find something to slice at, so this "restriction" isn't much of a restriction.

Lastly, the "area of the face" mechanism feels awkward to me. Do I really need each knowledge type matched to a face-part? Wouldn't it be easier to just write "The type of check is determined by the user from amongst (list of types) while applying the substance to both...

Thanks for the comments Standback. I totally see the ambiguity now. My intention was that you receive a free knowledge check ABOUT the creature you struck with the coated weapon. But I see now in a re-read that I didn't make that clear. Thanks for the feedback.


Feedback appreciated, judges, rough comments and all. Thanks. :)

Suspension of Reckoning
Aura faint divination; CL 5th

Description
Tiny organs of various creatures are suspended in this greasy substance. As a standard action, a vial of the substance may be used to coat a weapon or up to 20 units of ammunition. As part of the same action, the substance must also be applied to the user's face to create a link between the suspension and the user for 1 hour.

When a creature is first struck by the coated weapon or ammunition, the suspension grants a +10 competence bonus to the user on a knowledge check as a free action. The type of check granted is dependent upon the area of the face where the suspension has been applied.

I believe it's all over the Paizo main site, but also here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/38710/Former_CCP_Staffers_Found_Pathfind er_Online_Studio.php


M Human

Paizo just announced its Pathfinder MMO. Discuss. :)


M Human

Me too :) And skosh.


M Human

DSP: Sent you an email.


M Human

So was I right on my guess (see above post)?


M Human

That's funny...I've never seen that film, but when I saw the quotes I thought "Has to be Brooks."


M Human

Best friends who call one another brother?


M Human

Are you legally recognized as siblings?


M Human

Sorry for just posting, home internet is goofing, posting this via my phone. I'm following along, just quietly until I get to work tomorrow


M Human

Welcome Cecil!


M Human

I'm back from overly-humid Florida! I haven't posted in game thread yet as I'm not sure the map I'm seeing is update. Shinami is talking about grappling a ninja but there's no ninja near his icon... Am I missing something?


M Human

I don't know...they have a full green-screen and audio studio. They can make their own movies, not to mention video games.

But speaking of jealousy...did someone say PAX?!


M Human

No Disney for me I'm afraid. I have a meeting at Full Sail University.


M Human

I'm traveling tomorrow and Friday but should be able to post some with my phone. Just wanted to let folks know.

Orlando in August...ugh...ought to be fun.


M Human

I agree. Decent grappler builds are nothing to sneeze at. Nice job.


M Human

Sent mine to you. Let me know if you didn't get it. :)


M Human

Perfect use of Haste, Maedoc. We know Raleigh hit once (unconfirmed crit) and Osslend hit both times, I think. So that's another 37 damage to human fighter, putting him at 60+ taken. Virgil's attack of 20 might have hit, though I doubt it, so who knows...fighter man might go down.

Nice spiritual weapon choice, Kayla. Hopefully it can keep that healer locked down. Now we just need a nice hit on the orc and we should be in business.


M Human

Okay, I think I'm confused about where the enemies are standing. I have the following:

Me: G10
Brynn: H10
Human Fighter: H9
Raleigh: G9
Virgil: I8
Halfling: I9 (sounds like he's moved if Sionnan healed him with touch)
Sionnan: I11
Orc sorcerer: ??
Bryce: E6
Maedoc: D10
Kayla: ??

Is this all correct? I have a feeling I've got the halfling and maybe the orc in the wrong places.


M Human

Haste could be cool but I'd also favor dazing the orc because I fear he's going to do something awesome next, heh.


M Human

Bah...okay, I'll try something else.


M Human

Can anyone see the linked map below? This is my understanding of where we are (except Kayla as I didn't see a location noted).

Map as of 10am EST 8-10-11

**Ignore the "me"


M Human

So they are at/near waterfall and most of us are at/near gate. I can see how many grid points that is away on my self-made map. Is each square meant to represent 5 feet?


*bump*


M Human

I'm here. Sorry for the delay. I don't know why I always think that Gen Con will allow me time for anything other than it. It never does.

I think Osslend is all set. I'm just going to add a ranged weapon to his gear (as I forgot previously) and he'll be good to go, I think.


M Human

Also, though I hate to do this so soon into a game, I should mention that I'll be away this Thursday-Sunday at GenCon in Indianapolis. I will try my best to post from there but am not sure how much time I'll have.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Look forward to playing with all of you.


M Human

Thanks DSP. I can't wait to play. I thought I might get the ball rolling just talking about Osslend's build broadly real quick.

Osslend is a Cavalier variant called "Houndmaster" and is built to be pretty tank-ish and work well with his hounds. Both he and the hounds took combat feats so that they benefit one another when they are flanking the same enemy. So he's really going to be better at handling a single foe at a time rather than crowd control, though if the crowd is made up of smaller, weaker foes, he and the hounds can do that, too.

His larger hound, Virgil, should be a reasonable tank, while his smaller hound, Raleigh is younger and weaker for now, and will likely hang back more and do more hit and run tactics until he gets stronger.Osslend wields a large, 2-handed flail and should output some decent damage, though he certainly isn't built to be a big punisher.

My hope would be that he will come to recognize new strategies in his companions and I can start to take feats that move in a more cooperative direction, not just ganging up on enemies with the hounds.

Personality interaction with combat: Osslend is pretty level-headed, and while not a strategist (isn't dumb but isn't overly bright either) is wise enough to see patterns where they exist and can focus efforts on bigger threats. The one thing that might derail this is if he sees common-folk put in harm's way. It is in the rules of his cavalier Order that he MUST protect them and it's something he would do anyway, even without the dictum.

Happy to answer questions and curious to hear more about other characters.


Osslend's profile should be all set. Tell me if I missed anything. Anxious for my chance at the curtain :)


Have to do handle animal rolls for the dogs. They are done below in order of how I would have taught. Hence, if I fail the DC for one, I can eliminate a later one to have re-tried to teach the hound the previous. Will edit if this is the case.

Rolling at skill (+10) and bonus for them being my companions (+4): +14

Virgil (can know up to 8)::

Come (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Attack (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Down (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Stay (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Defend (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Guard (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Track (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
*Attack (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Raleigh (can know up to 7)::

Come (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Attack (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Down (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Stay (DC 15):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Defend (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Guard (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Track (DC 20):1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

*In order to attack unnatural creatures, you have to teach attack twice

Edit: Virgil failed to learn Guard, so learning Track would have been replaced by re-trying Guard and would have succeeded. Second attack would have been replaced by Track and would have succeeded. So, tricks are:
Virgil and Raleigh:
Come
Attack
Down
Stay
Defend
Guard
Track


Seeking RPG players

Our group has been running for 5+ years, mostly Pathfinder but some 4e and Savage Worlds. Usually we have three couples. One of the couples is leaving town so we need to replace them.

We're looking for two players, older, more mature. We're into laughs and good times and roleplaying. No drama, drinking (occasional beer, maybe), drugs, or rules lawyering. A couple would be cool but not required. Completely new players are more than welcome.

If you, and we, like what we hear, we'll schedule a meet to interview one another to see what kind of fit there might be.

We typically play once a week for about 4 hours. All you need is a willingness to have fun, we can supply the rest.

If interested, please email: rpgwithus@gmail.com and tell us a bit about yourself.

I like it. Sounds like fun!

Awesome! Thank you. I will post the character this evening. I'll be using set 2 of the stats I rolled earlier.

That map is AMAZING, man. I've got to try to get in on this. Thinking about a synthesist summoner or maybe a cavalier.

Set 1:

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 = 13

Set 2:

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 11


Okay, one more submission. If it's too late, I understand. Different character, though I used the same name only.

History:

Osslend Abenier was a Rostlander farmer, hardworking and helpful to his neighbors in the South of Brevoy. He lived an average life, putting his honed muscles to use breaking the earth so that others might plant there. Never taking a wife, Osslend was oft sought after by the women of the community but never felt the need to indulge in such frivolity. Life was work; hard work and that was plenty.

Always one to help a neighbor, Osslend often helped stave off the unwanted advances of land-buyers who tried to harass his community. Bullies were not tolerated and friends knew they could come to Osslend if they ever had such trouble.

When Osslend heard news of the expansion into the Stolen Lands, he felt a tug of responsibility to go but, maybe for the first time, felt afraid. He was afraid of leaving his home and all he had ever known. That is, until he began having dreams of an old trapper man leading him into the wilderness. It was then that Osslend knew that Erastil, old Deadeye, was telling him that it was his duty to go and protect those new settlers. After all, they're his people and "someone's got to make sure they don't get taken advantage of."

Personality:

Osslend Abenier is in his early 30s and is a quiet man. He needs very little and accepts even less. He works for what his is and shares it freely. He does not tolerate rudeness or apathy. He is often the the last to speak but his word usually brooks no further argument. If you are kind, helpful and hardworking he will be the best friend you could ever have.

Stats:

Human Paladin, follower of Erastil (Warrior of the Holy Light, so he will have no spells)

Str: 16 (14 +2)
Dex:10
Con:14
Int:10
Wis:10
Cha:14

Traits: Rostlander (campaign), Optimist (follower of Erastil)

Gear:

Chain shirt, Earthbreaker hammer

On his way out of town to volunteer to join the Stolen Lands expedition, Osslend was seen wearing only the tough, burlap farming clothes he had always worn and carrying his enormous hammer that he used to break and till the earth with for farming. A merchant took pity of him and sold him a chain shirt to protect him. That is all he carries.

DM Aron, I am finishing up a couple of characters now. I am hopeful that you will allow this variant on the Cavalier: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/rpgsuperstar/round2/ho undMasterCavalier

Cool?

Is it from Ultimate combat? Just curious never heard of Master Cavalier
Sorry, bad link there:Try this.
Well Looks cool but again if its from UC I don't think Gm will allow luck though
Yeah I specified what classes above. Core, APG and UM but that's it so will have to say no to that class.

Fair enough. :) Thanks for consideration. I knew it was a longshot but wanted to give it a try. If you're still taking new apps, I'll post my paladin very shortly.


DM Aron, if you allow the Houndmaster archetype, here he is:

History:

History:
Osslend Abenier grew up in and around Restov with his family in squalid conditions due to his father's investments in get-rich-quick schemes. His father was the Hound-master for a local noble and when his father died, Osslend became the new Hound-master for that house at the age of 15. Osslend always had a talent for sword-work and quickly found additional work teaching the noble's own son, Willan, only two years younger than Osslend, the basics of sword fighting.

Osslend went on happily this way for a few years, eventually moving onto the nobleman's property when his own mother succumbed to the heartache of losing her scoundrel of a husband. Willan and Osslend became the best of friends, but Osslend grew to dislike his nobleman employer whom he believed to be mistreating Willan in...perverse ways. Osslend had begun trying to save up money to help get Willan and himself away from his father very soon.

Recently, thought, Willan was traveling with his father on a business trip near the Stolen Lands and was kidnapped when his father was attacked and robbed. The nobleman has hired a team of toughs to find his son but Osslend has taken matters into his own hands.

His dog, Virgil, is a fine tracker and knows Willan well. Osslend intends to get to the Stolen Lands and find his young friend.

Personality:

Osslend is a quiet young man who is a bit too serious for his own good most times. Life as taught him to be vigilant and less trusting than some and it's a lesson he's learned well. Though he cares for his young friend Willan, whom he regards as a brother, he loves unconditionally his dog, Virgil. The dog was given to him by his father and has been his best friend for nearly five years.

Stats:

Str:16
Dex:12
Con:14
Int:10
Wis:10
Cha:13

Have complete character sheet available.

Let me know if this will work for you. I love the idea behind Kingmaker and would love to play.

Thanks.
