I just wanted to say love your podcast and thanks for recording the seminars. My only complaint is I wish you had released the seminars separately on your feed. Four hours is a big chunk of audio.

I had an identical problem. Half the group read the player's guide and made characters that really fit in with the campaign. One was flexible enough to know that getting involved was in his best interest and found a way to work things out. The last had a concept in mind, didn't read the player's guide, and was ready to play a very specific concept that really didn't have any reason to help Janiven. I used her speech as a template and spoke my own ad hoc speech, but even then I had trouble getting him involved.

Why didn't you tell the players before you started the conceit of the adventure path is the PCs join up with the Children of Westcrown and they need to make characters with that in mind?

A really good analysis of how light and darkness spells work

That makes things really clear, thanks.

Now, the question is, if you consider it, the Sun is a Nonmagical Light Source. If you cast Darkness outside, what happens

I believe the intent of the rules, and what I will be going with, is whatever light provided by the sun is the base line any light or darkness spell changes. Otherwise you first need to decide what exactly the nature of heavenly bodies in your campaign is. Was the sun created by an omnipotent god? If so that sure sounds like magic to me. OK, so what level is it?

The sunrod is a non magical source of light, and the light spell is a lower level spell than darkness, so they don't effect the light level when a darkness spell is active.

My CoT group in its entirety. *ahem*

2 Human Bards: Pasper and Jasper, the wandering con-artists.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

Darius, Human Monk
Lucius, Human Wizard (Evoker)
Albindus, Human Cleric (Sarenrae)
Loric, Elf Rogue

We decided to go with a pseudo Roman feel for the city. Our first session was last night and we made it through the rescue. The monk and rogue are both Dex monkeys and don't have finesse yet. As a result, there was a bit of a wiff factor that caused combats to stretch a little longer than we would have liked, but this should be a short term problem so I'm not too concerned.

I wish I would have checked these forums and learned about the XP issues before diving in. The characters are all still first level, so I'll need to throw in some side treks to catch them up.

::sigh::

You know, much as I'm glad that I'm supporting my FLGS, its times like this that I miss being a subscriber . . . at least I'm still pre-ordered at the FLGS.

I wish all RPG publishers would adopt Evil Hat's PDF policy. Specifically, I'm talking about the if you buy a book at a game store you get the PDF for free.

They keep and use it. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of the evil they battle against. Turning a weapon forged for evil purpose back on that very evil has a nice dramatic flair to it as well.
