Doh! Wrong spot.

Sorry for the delay in posting but a good chunk of my state lost Internet for a while. It is back now.
Remember as certain RPGs claim, innocence proves nothing.
Cool, thanks for the warning. Have a safe journey.
Well from the forums you can go to the book buying or the resource documents http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd it has a search function There are also a variety of fan wikis online you can try too. Like this one http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Erastil. TVTROPES is not so good as they lack detail on regions and cities that the wikis have. It gives good summaries on deities though for a quick look. I mention it as THAT is where I found out how Cayden Cailean became a god
Aw, so not a Rasputin death?
Perception vs Survival, I agree with Kirsdrake. Perception is spotting stuff, Survival is knowing how to track what you have spotted. Unless the tracks a blatantly obvious (id est elephant footprints) Perception is going to require many more checks and higher DC than using Survival. You could try substituting Knowledge (Nature) with a DC increase on top of the other situational modifiers. But I agree that Survival and Perception are separate. A third option is spending 25 GP and using the Handle Animal Skill. Hunting Dogs can do tracking is a trained trick.
Short answer seemed a little long And cool on the usage of Yiddish. There is precedent for your example of Terran too. IIRC, in Discworld Trolls had 50 words for types of granite but one word for ALL plants (flower/tree/weed/cactus were all the same word). Another option for the whole languages thing is just post in discussion that you are using real world Language X as Pathfinder Language Y. Or post the link to the fictional language translator. To avoid hypocrisy I'll do the latter now. For my recent post in Goblin I used this English into Eberron Goblin translator: http://www.screwytruths.com/Goblin.html
Alright then, going to fake language translations with subtitles at the end in a Spoiler. I actually knew a player who wrote out their Osiriani PCs name in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Actually, I found a "Common to Draconic" generator: http://draconic.twilightrealm.com I can probably find a Tolkien Elven to English one for elf language. Actually wait minute...Nope on Tolkien but I did find others. Want me to post the translators I find for other languages?
I'm not sure how to go about formatting different languages. I could find translators for a few languages (like Ancient Azlanti = Latin) or I can keep using greater and less then signs to show when a language is not Common.
Inner Sea Primer had the Tribesman Trait that gave a +1 trait bonus on a skill and made it a class bonus. Skill was restricted to Climb, Survival, or Swim. Just as a suggestion if you are still looking.
Cool! I haven't done any PbP on Paizo forums yet, so I'll have to draw up some RP examples and edit the alias sheet. I'll post it under the ALIAS sheet for review. So long as this isn't a PFS registration required adventure I should be golden for this. Thank you!
I have a fireworks addicted elf I'd like to throw at this circus murder mystery. I just need to adjust the sheet I made for a PbP I didn't get into to make it should fit this. If you are still recruiting of course.
:'‑( Buts I did wish everyone good fortune. Hope everyone has fun and we all find PbPs to play in. Good lucks to the folks chosen in facing the <redacted> threat in <redacted> before the <redacted>. Sorry, no spoilers!
Good fortune to all of us indeed. Have a great weekend and to any papa's on the forum have a great Father's Day.
I think my current setup is fine with the character ALIAS and budget set up correctly. And corrected the auto-correct in the ALIAS too. Bad news is I can't currently get/send PM due to forgetting I'd turned it off a while back. Whoops. I have to wait for confirmation for PM to return to me. Sorry if this causes any inconveniences. I'll just have to keep an eye on this thread and everything connected to it :D
Maybe sometime in the future I'll open up recruitment again for this Jedi Service Corps idea, perhaps with one of the Star Wars RPG systems behind it :) I'd recommend NOT doing the system that has symbol dice as conversion to the d20 Paizo forums would be difficult.
Cool mix and you don't have to exclude "MAGIC" just call it Science! Heck I even know a wild alien species from the Aliens franchise: the egg hunters. They came from a Dark Horse comic and looked like orcs a little and they ATE the xenomorph eggs. IIRC there was another Dark Horse short comic where a facehugger is plopped onto a frying pan by a huge alien species as a side street vendor snack. But I have never heard of Uncharted Worlds system. I think I am seriously going to have to look into that since people on the fori keep bringing it up.
Sounds cool. Sadly I am unfamiliar with Uncharted Worlds nor do I have access to the rules. It does seem a popular rules system though. I may need to amend my ignorance.
Also sad face. And curse migraines for making me miss sign up deadline :(
Excellent! To quote one goddess "Lets all have fun playing together!" And thank you to littlehewy for your character submission. It kept me from asking a few questions by having an example to look at (thumbs up). This is Warden73 and the character I will submit is Luk Luk the elf Draconic sorceress / fireworks maker. Don't worry about the pyromania, she has enough brains to employ restraint. About me:
I have been playing Pathfinder for roughly 4 years now but only PFS. I have done PbP for World of Darkness and MAID. MAID is compatible with Dark Heresy but very different. I do have prior with other d20 systems. And my PC. I think I have done this correctly but let me know if I need to make any changes.

Background: Luk Luk Eaglefin is a strange name for an elf, and unlikely that provided by her birth parents. She has quite the eclectic background. As a toddle unknown circumstances resulted in her being in the "care" of a goblin tribe. Fortunately the goblins enjoyed having a "fire making pinkie" around. After a few fires disuaded those that thought the elf would be tasty of course. It is actually the source of her first name, one of the many goblin words for fire. Before the goblins got bored with her she had quite the interesting adventure involving Chelish adventurers, slave auctions, and heroics by the Bellflowers with a pair of Eagle Knights. She grew up at Almas University, deposited there by the Eagle Knights as an oddity. For what else would one call a almost feral elven child that spoke more snarl and goblin then a true language? It took months to realize she was using Draconic and Goblin in a mix. And years to weed out most of the habits taught to her by the greenskins, though it did teach the faculty to be much better prepared for fire. And her strange pranks. With maturity came curiosity and Luk Luk took to studying with enthusiasm, ending up under the guidance of a old dwarf named Durmont. Durmont was a historian with an intrest in ancient Azlant. A interest Luk Luk gained from him despite her preferences for study lying elsewhere. Luk Luk's time at the academy was divided between mischief, history lessons with Durmont, and reading up whatever she could find on one field of alchemy. Luk Luk used alchemy to find a socially acceptable means to indulge her love of fire and explosion. By making fireworks. She came to readily supply them for celebrations and to the Bellflowers as a signalling tool. More recently she has been expelled from Almas University. Though this time the library fire was not her fault. Luk Luk may have made the fireworks but she didn't set them off. And her sponsor Durmont had gone off on his own adventures, with very little information left for Luk Luk to find aside from something about a ancient treasure on the Varisian coast. Well there might have been more but she was kicked out. After some searching Luk Luk learned about Sandpoint and its nearby landmark. So off she went towards Sandpoint. The journey was easy enough as she found travellers heading to the Swallowtail Festival to tag along with. Now Luk Luk just needs to find some partners to work with. Durmont is probably not lurking in Sandpoint but if she found some Thassolonian or Azlanti relic it could help her get Durmont to support her return to the University. Or she might find something that gives her some literal firepower. True Origins: Unknown and Luk Luk lacks the interest to find her birth parents. Personality:
Luk Luk lacks the hang ups of many Forlorn and has a rather practical mindset. If it works it works is a favorite phrase for her. Honorable combat is something she doesn't believe in. She does take pride in her fireworks however and would enjoy praise.
A goblin kingdom? Oh my, that sounds like terrible, horrible, chaotic fun. Is recruiting still open?
Interesting. I see that the Zeitgeist Player's Guide PDF is free. I think I'll give it a read to see if this AP is something I'd like to try. Assuming that you are still recruiting. If nay, then I wish you good cheer and fun mayhem.
Aww, I was too late? Whelp <salutes the drum roll> I wish you all good fortune on this endeavor. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that it leads to another Goblin AP campaign.
Please, please tell me this is still open? I would like to break try out my little dirty pyromaniac elf. It'd be a Draconic Sorcerer.
Goblins? Goblins?! GOBLINS?! Is there a more fun word on these forums? That was rhetorical. I am certainly interested. I'll have to try to create something if the thread is still recruiting.
Greetings! I have done PBP before though not for Pathfinder. I have a few characters that I'd love to get off the drawing board or resurrect from retirement. So long as this don't count to PFS and just for fun I should be golden. For Rise of the Runelords I'd like to resurrect the only PFS character that I have thus far leveled up past play-ability: Luk Luk (Luck Luck). Fun insane Sekhmet worshiper but a poor PC build. I'd like to try retooling her as a Draconic sorceress. Actually, this is the easiest PC to drop into any AP. Luk Luk's entire reason for adventuring was to have a socially acceptable targets for her pyromania. Fits right into any AP as the dumb magical muscle. I can also easily roll up a human Magus, Fighter, or Monk. |
