Boss Zog,

It may be helpful to add another spoiler to your alias to document and track HP, AC, EXP, and Class.

I have found that adding it to the "classes/levels" as a solid string is beneficial as it then displays underneath your name on each post in the gameplay tab.

For your copy and paste pleasure you can steal my string of info:

NG Cleric | Lvl 1 | EXP 0 | HP 5/5 | AC -2 | STR Test, Minor 1-2, Major 4 | CON Test, Minor 92, Major 88

These few bits of info are usually nice to have handy in the forums to have at the ready. But this is just one method and may not work for everyone or every campaign.

Looking at making a Dwarf Cleric

Hit Points:1d8 ⇒ 5
Gold:3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) = 8x10=80 gp starting
Starting Age:250 +2d20 ⇒ (6, 19) = 25=275

Interested

4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 5) = 14=12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 5) = 14=12
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 5) = 15=13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 1) = 13=12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 6) = 14=13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 3) = 14=12

Ouch...

Same as Spaz, I'll check out the manual and come back with an alias for my +0 PC.

Nice to see someone from my area. I have yet to play any live games, mostly just PbP.

Tuesday or Thursday could work for me. I get off around 4:30. What is the time you are looking to hold it?

This sounds like a blast. I would be interested in participating as a Ranger.

DungeonWorld is a new system to me but sounds easy to learn. If you are willing to take on a new inexperienced player I think I would enjoy this campaign.

I can post at least once a day most days.

I would love to be a part of this. I dont have much experience but I am willing to learn if you will have me.

Here is my character draft: Stall Yuke .

He is an NE Human Rogue. He is an explorer, in search of the next big thing that will catapult him to fame and fortune.

I would love to join. I'm new to play by posts but am a willing learner.

I messed up on my alias profile. I'm not a paladin I'm a fighter. That was a bad copy and paste job. I'm fixing it now. Thanks for the catch.

Adjusted my Character Alias as discussed.

MCCL,

If you go to "My Account" at the top of the page you will see an option to "Create New Alias".

From there you can build the basic alias and in the description you can add all the text like we have started to do.

If you need to know how to do the spoiler feature you can see it at the bottom of the comment box where it says "How to format your text...show"

I think I am good to go.

I created an alias and loaded my data in. I kinda like the cleaner look of putting my data there rather than a character sheet. Not sure which one I should maintain or maybe both?

Heres the link Tulle

GM, would you like us to begin posting as our avatar or should we only post as them in the Campaign Tab?

MCCL,

A magic user would be great. I was thinking about it as well, but thought simple might be better for my first play through.

MCCL,

Welcome!

Maybe a barbarian would round out our party of non magic users.

Maglev,

Looks like an interesting post to help with all the blocks on this sheet.

On the skills I still think there are two things that need adjusted. DM can speak up if I'm incorrect.

The online reference lists:
"Step 4—Pick Skills and Select Feats: Determine the number of skill ranks possessed by your character, based on his class and Intelligence modifier (and any other bonuses, such as the bonus received by humans). Then spend these ranks on skills, but remember that you cannot have more ranks than your level in any one skill (for a starting character, this is usually one). After skills, determine how many feats your character receives, based on his class and level, and select them from those presented in Feats."

The first thing I notice here is that you get to select the number of skills equal to your class and intelligence modifier. So for you that should be 8. 1 for being human, 8 for being a rogue and -1 for your INT modifier. So I believe you can only add 8 skill ranks as a lvl 1 character. It looks like on your character sheet you have 28 skill ranks added. I think the confusing bit for me was that just because I have a class skill in climbing doesn't mean I have a class rank in it. But when I do add a class rank to it I get a score of 4. Does that make sense?

The other thing in that reference is the reference on the max skill rank. Do you know where you read that it is related to your hit dice?

Maglev,

In the spirit of understanding the game more myself I was looking at your character sheet. I noticed you had skills that were quite high (12 in acrobatics). My understanding is that you cannot rank a skill higher than your current level. See in the skills area on the upper right it tells you what your max rank is.

I also am unsure of where the miscellaneous modifier is coming from. It looks like you may have intended to give your class skills a +3, but the character sheet already does that when you select the skill as a character class.

Hope that is constructive, let me know if I misunderstood the rulebook and feel free to let me know if you see anything off on my character sheet.

Alright, I think my character is complete and ready. Here is my character sheet for anyone to review and make any corrections or suggestions.

Tulle Falk

In Pathfinder you automatically get maximum hit points at first level, so no need to roll hit points at level 1, you just automatically get the highest for your hit die.

Samy,

Do we add our CON modifier for our starting HP or is it just max hit dice?

Age: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Height/Weight: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 1) = 11

Height= 4ft 10in + 11 = 5ft 9in

Weight= 120lbs + (11x5) = 175lbs

Rolling for Starting Gold: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 5, 6) = 17
17x10=170

Ok- I will be the Fighter.

STR 15 + 2 Racial Ability
DEX 15
CON 15
INT 13
WIS 12
CHA 12

Thanks for the Link to the online sheet Sickles. I went ahead and created one as well. Still filling it all the way out. Here is what I have so far.

Ah, didnt see Poly's post yet. I can choose something else.

I think I am going to go with a Human Ranger.

I think I will go with the following stats that I rolled:

STR 12
DEX 15 +2 (Racial Ability)
CON 15
INT 15
WIS 13
CHA 12

If you think I should adjust any of those to better outfit a Ranger let me know. It looks like Rangers can specialize in either Archer or Two Handed Combat. I plan to specialize in Archery.

Samy,

Thanks for the link on PbP posting etiquette and examples. That helps greatly.

Here go my rolls:

4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 4) = 19
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 6) = 17
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 3) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 6) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 4) = 16
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 2) = 14

Sickles, looks like we only have three so far (you, Poly and me).

Samy,

That makes sense about the races. Reading about them does seem like you really have to tailor your class and character to them.

Samy,

I'm reading through the first few pages on the HTLM Core Rulebook, thanks for the link (cant download yet).

You seem to be discouraging races other than humans. Why is that? Are humans the standard choice for most players?

The only problem is that I live in Alaska so it is 4 hours earlier here than in the eastern time zone.

Poly, I am in Oregon so your only 1 hour behind me.

Having never Played by Post before I dont know for sure, but I dont think it should matter much.

Thanks for the great welcome. I am excited to join such a great gaming community. Still no luck with the downloads, but its completely understandable with the amazing response from the bundle.

Samy,

I am a pathfinder newbie. I played a few campaigns of D&D back in highschool, but other than that I am very green.

I would love to be a part of your campaign in order to learn the basics of pathfinder and specifically get into PbP gaming, which I have never been a part of. 3-4 posts a week is reasonable for me. I also feel I would be available for the next few months.

Please let me know if you have any questions for me, otherwise I hope to join you.
