Unfortunate :( Well I'll still be watching, just in case.

Is this still happening, Flinn?

Seems our GM is a busy man. That's understandable, life comes first and all. I hope you catch a break sometime Flinn :)

I suppose I might not be able to see everything. I'm going to keep forgetting that I'm half-blind :P

This was supposed to be an edit on the last post, but the forums kicked me :( No harm though

Talla emerges from the alley, frustration and exhaustion evident on her face. It was just supposed to be a relaxing walk (apparently unaware she was in one of the roughest neighborhoods in town); some fresh air to clear her head after everything that happened these past few weeks. Then there was screaming, smoke, and fire. 'Ugh! Not what I had in mind,' she thinks to herself.

"People, please! Don't panic! You're trampling the youn--" It's at that moment Talla spots the tentacle around the building, soon revealing the full body of a grown Aboleth. "What the--?! THIS IS NOT HOW MY DAY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO!!" She yells in obvious irritation.

She spots a few squads of guards and others fighting the flow of the fleeing crowds to reach the attackers and sighs in relief. 'I've no idea how or why Aboleths are here, but at least I'm not alone'. She shakes her right hand a few times and grunts in annoyance, eventually producing a black crystal blade from a gash in her palm that quickly closes. "Let's see how well you actually work then." She pauses a moment, looking at the blade. "Yeah yeah, I know, the song. Let's just get out there and help these people, ok?" She says under her breath, moving into the street.

Not sure if you wanted to go right into initiative or not, actions can be taken when allowed, just wanted to get this in here :)

Talla Zalimar, signing in! Thanks for the selection Flinn, I'm excited to be in this game.

I've never used rollD20, but it seems useful so I wouldn't mind trying it out. Another PbP I'm in uses google docs, which has worked pretty well so far as well.

Grenadil's initiative ideas seem sound. Combat usually seems to take quite a while in this format!

I have a few questions on some of Talla's abilities, now that I'll actually be playing her:

* The stone mystery 'crystal sight' ability doesn't give an action for activation. It's (Ex) rather than (Su) so I'm unsure if it'd be a standard action default or just a swift/free action to activate?

* Her 'diamond blade' from her body, since it's a (Su) ability is technically a standard action. I'm wondering if I'd be able to treat it like a weapon, drawing during a move action and such, just because I like that visual a lot more than keeping a crystal blade on her belt :)

That's all I can remember atm. It's late, time for bed.

I'll make up a proper introduction tomorrow.

dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
local, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Ha! I no nothing about the town. Aboleths, though-- fascinating stuff!!

Paulicus' Diamond Aasimar Magus 6/Oracle 10, also for the Branded.

(if I find time I might make something for the corruptions too, perhaps a lich or graveknight)

Somehow my character histories always end up way longer than I intend. I meant to make a quick history, but it ended up at 8 paragraphs! xP Eh, still a fun project.

edit- ninja'd by the GM! Sounds like you have some cool ideas though.

Don't worry, the extended background will definitely come up during the game. Just curious, but have you heard of the ten-minute background?

Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged!
Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you.
Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.

I'm going to save this, should help fleshing out my characters in the future :) I may try adding some of these to my current characters as well.

I thought getting blindsight 5 levels early might be a bit much :P That's ok.

I'll get working on the black/diamond blade then, thanks!

I trust you'll balance the powerless/monster characters well. I'm just glad I didn't start buying more stuff for Sellin before I realized my mistake!

(Paulicus here)

This is the diamond magus/oracle I mentioned above. I still need to set out the skills, spells, equipment, and flesh out her backstory, but otherwise she's nearing completion.

One other question for you Flinnfurious (aside from the Bladebound archetype/diamond blade thing): Would you allow the favored class bonus to apply to the oracle curse instead of a revelation? It's not RAW, but I thought I'd ask. If not I'll just put it into HP instead.

Thanks!
