Go to the Play-By-Post thread, and click 'Focus' (should be in the upper right-ish area). Click the small button to 'hide' the thread. That will remove it from your list of active campaigns.

Totally here. o wo/

"Sometimes, too many performers spoil a show." Touch explained, preferring to use her own words for topics like these. "You can only have so many hands tending to wounds. Frustrating though it may be, sometimes the best thing to do is to stand back and let others do their jobs. Knowing when your actions will only make things worse is part of being an adult - and not learning the lesson will only lead to more pain."

Touch had a variety of talents, but healing wasn't among them. Instead, she moved over to the other two boys. "Come this way." she said gently, choosing to believe their words. "Don't worry about anything else for now - it's time to go home." the last thing they needed was to see a bad end in a situation like this. That could do bad things to a human's mind.

"Really? I'm here most years." Touch said as Kapenia spoke to her. "Maybe I just sounded like part of the background since I do it so much - sort of the way you don't notice the smell of sheep when you've lived with them all your life. I'm going to have to try harder, then." She gave Kapenia a wide grin and flexed one of her arms (though that really had nothing to do with singing). "What's the point of performing if you don't get noticed, eh?"


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

What the... who was causing problems, now? Touch frowned as she put her hands on her hips, then stopped singing and hopped off the stage. She had a few tricks for distracting the unruly for a bit, and she was always more than a little offended when some trouble interrupted what she was doing. With that, she began walking towards the screams. "Soooomebody's in trouuuuble~" she sung quietly.

Ah, nothing like a good ol' festival back home - even if things were likely to get rather wilder come nightfall, when the interesting things happened. As an elf, Touch was older than she looked, and she'd performed at these festivals for as long as most people in the area had been alive. Relaxing on one of the stages, she began singing to really get the festival going - a little music was just what these people needed.

Perform (Sing): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Touch probably knows Valeriana from Wicken, at least, since she still visits regularly. She doesn't do drugs - she's got other stuff to focus on - but does go to some parties to perform. ^^

Well, we both worship The Ash Queen - was Kapenia the type to attend depraved rituals in the countryside or the occasional event in the Artist's Quarter part of Castorhage as part of that faith?

(Touch is absolutely the type to keep mum when her friends want to keep secrets. XD)


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Mmm........ honestly, I don't know what to take as a feat. XD; We're not using Spheres stuff, so there's really no way to get an effective attack going. Any suggestions?


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

I just realized I should be getting occult skill unlocks. o wo~ That helps.


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Castorhage is low magic for the general population. XD Why, if those uppity commoners start getting healing magic, they'll want it for every bump and scrape. Nobles, on the other hand...

-Goes to check on feats-


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Are you spending too much time on that tab? It usually times out if you take more than 20-30 minutes to add the info. I find it helps to copy everything you're trying to post before you submit it, just in case.

As for feats, I think bonus feats are inherently a bit better than using feat tax rules - every character can make use of bonus feats, while only some will directly benefit from feat tax stuff.

Dot!

@GM: Incidentally, feel free to make the gameplay thread sooner instead of later. Once it's up, we can do a quick post there and have this game added to our campaigns for quick reference. ^^

(I ask because I can only implant one trick at a time. This stops being a problem at Level 5, when I can help both of you at once. XD)


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Hmm..... well, you two know your builds better than me. o wo Who do you think would benefit more from what's basically an on-demand flanking partner? Got any special powers that trigger from that?


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Backstories solve everything! 8D ...What's your relationship to the town of Wicken?


Mes. 1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 15, T: 12, FF: 13 | Fort: +1, Ref: +4, Will: +2 | Melee: +1 | CMB: +1, CMD: 13 | Init: +8, Perception: +6

Sounds like Pietro will be getting a great deal of my tricks. XD Alas, I can only implant one at a time for now, but still.

..........

That said, I should probably figure out how to get a lawful good Paladin to trust a chaotic neutral artist who wants to implant psychic powers in his head........

o vo;

Touch here! ......Man, on second thought, there could be so many jokes with this name. XD Well, that's fine.

As a Mesmerist, Touch is primarily a support character. She can use her Hypnotic Stare to increase the damage a foe takes, and she can implant tricks in martial characters to let you gain a flanking buddy for a turn during combat. (This will get better later.) Don't expect her to do a whole lot of damage herself - though in a group this size, that shouldn't matter too much anyway. XD

She's especially familiar with the Artist's Quarter and Booktown districts of the city.

As a sixth-level caster, she can't throw around magic all day, but she is able to conjure up an obscuring mist to hide an escape - or mess with someone's head and distract them for a bit while the rest of the group smacks them around.

Skill-wise, she's great at dancing and singing, as well as diplomacy and bluffing. She should be able to help the party as a face, especially if anyone decides to aid her already-decent numbers. XD

Oh, and she's a cultist of what's basically Shub-Niggurath. I mean what? Nothing to worry about, really! (No, seriously. XD She may be CN, but she likes her friends - the rest of the party, unless someone objects - and only does animal sacrifices.)

Also, if anyone's using Oladon's browser extension, I have an avatar for Touch in her profile. o wo/
