Simmons Harmon's page

Great stuff Gobo!

Tryggve, your picture link does not work. I'm on my phone, do it could just be me! And how do you pronounce your character's name? I'm bad with old-fashioned Norse-like names lol.

Fixed the link! And I pronounce his name as (Trig-vey), as in trigonometry and Oi-vey!

Then that would be fine. We have 5 characters now. I just need to see the profiles for Simmons, Luke, and Shifty and we should be able to start. Unless a sixth person pops up before we get delving. :)

I might have something ready by tomorrow. Just fair warning, my paladin is going to be very bashy-smashy with his stats, in case we have a barbarian or other melee oriented fighter...

Sounds like fun! I might develop a Paladin for this campaign. When are you thinking of starting?

Two traits, plus a third if you take a drawback. Tentatively considering allowing an optional fourth Faith-only trait which turns into a penalty if you violate your deity's code of conduct, but I probably won't implement it without PC acclaim.

Simmons, most GMs like a 20 point buy, but APs can be brutal for new players (I try to include some newbies, because a lot of GMs are somewhat hesitant to give new players a chance,). Besides, APs are epic in scope and which is the most epic of the standard point buys? 25! And, of course, I don't want it to be so easy for PCs to TPK early in the game. An extra 5 points on the buy helps keep PCs early on, but it doesn't make much difference later, to be honest.

Also, if the story feats do not fit you, you get an extra favored class bonus per level and gain a bonus feat after you achieve something truly noteworthy. Sound good?

Good point. I've never played an adventure path, so I guess I don't understand how much more dangerous it can be. I also like the extra favored class bonus, that really helps with health.

And with that, my profile and history is finished!

This sound awesome! I never heard of AP games being 25 point buy on average, but I could rework my barbarian to include that; afterall, I'm still pretty new to this...also, is it alright if we choose not to take the free story feats if none fit us?

I'm still working on Tryggve's backstory, but other than that, he's an Invulnerable Rager Barbarian from Belkzen with a penchant for being silently intimidating.

Color me interested! If you can have it at 20 point buy, I'm sold. I love character/plot driven RP, and I've already got a few ideas for characters...what exactly are you looking for in characters?

Are you looking for an interesting summation of the character, but then learn more details through RP? Or would you want very detailed descriptions of the characters personality and history?

I think it would be fun to GM and play at the same time! This is a tentative interest check. Here are some scenarios I think would be cool.

1. Gangs of Riddleport- PCs are rising stars in one of the local Sczarni gangs in Riddleport. Expect typical 'Mafia jobs', turf wars, and situations that make you wonder just how far you would go for money and power. Typical Mafia fair.

2. Heirs of the Ebon Sands- PCs are undead Drow of House Shraen, located within the Black Desert in Orv (Deepest layer of the Darklands,). Expect weird and wondrous locales, undead, dark magic, and twisted aberrations. Don't really know how to describe this!

3. Last Stand of the Elves- PCs are all Elves living peacefully in the wilds of Kyonin, until the darkness comes and they are forced into a desperate last stand against the forces of the exiled demon lord Treerazer. Expect a grim, horrific scenario filled with demons and twisted abominations. Very Diablo-ish.

4. Aria of Crimson Tears- PCs are all natives of Karcau, the artistic center of Ustalav, who become involved in a terrifying series of events that involve them in a sinister plot by occult forces. Expect heavy RP, lots of investigation, and scenarios that encourage out-of-the-box thinking, as well as occult forces (Mortal and otherwise,). Very Sherlock Holmes-ish.

5. The Lost City- PCs are Qadirans that aid a mysterious stranger, who gives them directions to a city thought long lost to the sands. Expect cinematic action, a trek through the desert, and a grueling search through a lost city. Very Indiana Jones-ish or Aladdin-ish.

These are just basic ideas. If I crack open one of my several campaign setting books, I'm sure I could think of more unique ideas! :)

Number 5...I REALLY like number 5!

Sounds like this could be fun! It would also be a great way to jumpstart new characters that could be used in other campaigns!

Also, I'm guessing two traits as usual? One for the adventure and one from anywhere?

This sounds interesting...I think I'll make myself a rogue for this!

I also don't know if you got my message, but I just wanted to make sure if it was a get together game or a play by post one. (23, but lots of roleplay and game experience)

I've recently joined up, and I'm looking for play myself. I have no preferences, honestly, since I haven't played any of the modules, but I'm willing to play PFS or non-PFS.

My only question is this: In terms of leveling and character death, what's the difference between non-PFS and PFS games?

Also, the post above is linked to my character profile, which I still can't figure out how to give an avatar, so here is my board account.

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it.
