4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 4) = 13 = 12 (+1)
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 6) = 16 = 13 (+1)
4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 4) = 11 = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4) = 12 = 11
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 2) = 16 = 14 (+2)
4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 3) = 15 = 13 (+1)
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 6) = 20 = 16 (+3)

Okay, so I have 16, 14, 13, 13, 12, 11.

Wealth 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 2) = 9 x 10 = 90 gold

So, are we going to start this soon?

I'm going for the Unchained Rogue, to begin with. I am wedded to the idea of playing a young man who is secretly a devotee of Irori, who is committed to recording the accurate history of Cheliax, despite the official line. He's not much for combat, but he is full of skills and hope and most likely, doomed to die young.

After thinking about it, I'm going with an Unchained Rogue for my first level for my Irorian archivist/spy historian. Human, because, well, reasons...

I think I've hammered down the concept and stats. Now I just need to come up with a good name.

DM, I'm a little confused. Is it the class feature names that bother you or is the class itself? I have no problem rebranding class features, but if you dislike the class so much that you won't allow any portion of it then would you allow the Brawler class from ACG as an alternative?

That would be the goal!

Yeah, the swashbuckler looked perfect for this... then I remembered the ACG ban.

I keep waffling between an Occultist noble who can feel the powers of ancient objects, an oracle of the dark tapestry who has seen far too much and a monk archivist who secretly works for the Irori group.

And as always, if you're not comfortable with the classes, I can find something else to play.

Rules question: would you allow one of the new Occult Adventures classes, specifically the Occultist?

I'd love to keep playing if you'll have me! I definitely need to think about what sort of character I'd like to play.

That sounds like a decent plan to me!

Council of Thieves strikes me as a heavy-roleplaying game, since you're locked into a certain location. CoCT is, of a sort, but once it takes the PCs out of Korvosa, it flits into quest/dungeon territory a lot.

I'm game for whichever, I suppose. It does seem that heavy dungeon crawling is not PBP-conducive. Would it make any difference if we skipped ahead to Book 2?

I'll give it a go.

Kascio rolls up his sleeves and breaks out a few of the ant mounds to see if anything sparkly or valuable lurks within.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Kascio helps coup the ants to make certain nothing crawly will rise again.

Kascio takes a five foot step to the SE and flanks with Tanjvats! He stabs at the remaining ant! ANT SLAYING!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (8) = 13 damage!

Esme holds backs, still scanning the room for more ant holes!

Esmerelda

Esme steps back five feet and attacks the ant between her and Dareon! Attack with longspear: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6 for 1d8 ⇒ 5 damage!

Kascio

Kascio slashes at the ant between him and Fade, trying to end the ant-y menace! Knife!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (7) = 11 damage!

Kascio steps five feet to the south to flank the ant with Fade. He once again slashes, hoping he can land an attack at some point. Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4) = 7 damage!

Edit: Holy crap! A two digit number! Confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage!

Kascio attacks any ant he can flank! Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 +2 if flanking for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 plus 1d8 ⇒ 2 SA!

Kascio tries once again to hit something! 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 +2 if flanking for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 plus 1d8 ⇒ 6 if flanking!

I remember a time, when I could roll above a seven. Before the Dark Times, before the dicebot...

Sorry, didn't realize it was me at bat!

Kascio snarls as he keeps missing the ant. Flanking with Fade, he slashes again! Dagger dagger Go!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (7) = 12 damage!

Kascio steps cautiously until he is flanking with Fade and slashes at the ant! KNIFE!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10 for 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5) = 9 damage!

Kascio spots the second ant and flings his dagger, the action so reflexive it might as well be second nature. Dagger!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 plus SA if needed 1d8 ⇒ 4!

Kascio nods tensely at Dareon and cracks his neck. "Got your back."

Kascio whispers back. "There's more mounds here. Many more to the south. I'll be right back." He slips further into the room, peering closely at the mounds, his daggers held loose and ready in his hands.

I live, o' GMicious one!

Kascio stares at the dirt, expecting a sudden explosion at any moment. Seeing none initially, he creeps closer to the dirt to examine them, dagger in hand. Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Kascio moves after Tanjvats, keeping his eyes peeled for traps! Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

"Do you have any way to find the other shard? Any magic that Captain Heidmarch neglected to mention?"

Kascio moves slowly into the room, watching the spiderwebs and keeping his daggers out.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Kascio shrugs. "Little web boats?" He prods the webs with a dagger, just to make sure they're not infested with anything...

Kascio shudders. "I hate spiders. Especially spiders the size of dogs! Should I see if there's anything worth while down the crack, now that these are dead?"

Not sure, but I'll post and if not, you can use it for the next round's action!

Kascio slashes at the spider with a held dagger! Attack!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage!

Kascio turns and flings a dagger at the lead spider! Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, Possible Crit!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7, dealing 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (6) + 1 = 11 damage!

"Perhaps your Thassilonians all changed into spiders?" Kascio jokes, then looks pensive. "They were quite wizardly, after all..."

Feeling the webs, Kascio freezes and moves slowly back out to the others. "Webs. Spiderwebs. Bring fire."

Kascio will draw a dagger and squeeze into the crevice, moving slowly and deliberately. Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Kascio shrugs. "Too much magic, not enough sense? Rich people do odd things to make other rich people jealous." Kascio will go searching for any turns not taken.

Kascio will retrieve the bracelet, using a dagger blade to pick it up. He'll take it over to the pool and clean it off before looking at it more closely.

Kascio begins to poke around the guano-covered room, looking for anything worth taking. Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Kascio nods. "Lets see what the bats were hiding..." He moves into the formerly bat-filled room.

"I like things that are big enough to be properly stabbed. These swarms of tiny beasts? Not my favorite part of the job."

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Kascio waits until the confused bats have fled, then pops out of the water, shaking himself off silently. He begins to talk, then realizes he can't hear himself and mimes a bat flying through a wall, then confusion.

Kascio, seeing Fade covered, grabs him and pulls him under the water, making sure his nose and mouth are above water!

I'm in the water!

"I don't know. Even shallow water might protect us." Kascio splashes in the pool, clearly unnerved by things that don't die properly when stabbed.

Kascio looks down at his knives, then at Faedrin. "When in Magnimar..." he mutters and jumps in!

Kascio holds up a hand to signal quiet, then gestures toward the east and creeps in that direction. Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Kascio laughs. "Yep, we're much better than petty thieves, Esme, we're pretty thieves and that makes the difference!" Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
