Me too, please.

Thanks in advance.

Let us know if you want to fire up this or another PBP again. I enjoyed my time.

Posting an initiative order with the conditions for each PC/enemy would be helpful as I know I didn't realize it was my turn and forgot conditions several times. I know this is my job as player to track but having a reminder at the bottom of every DM post really helps. Thanks for DMing and being open to advice.

Can Levana not use rituals?

No rituals for Seekers

I just saw the above posts about speed of play. I won't feel bad if Balgron gets DMPC or anyone else's PC for that matter. The xivorts battle is going painfully slow. I was hoping Balgron breaking down the door would speed things up. Who are we waiting on?

I'll step aside and let Peasant Railgun step up. I'm at capacity playing in 5 PBP games currently and my 7 month old starting to crawl. I can't just set her down and post away freely, I have to actively watch her as she's going mobile.

I got scared and just copied all my aliases' editable profiles to text files just in case they get overwritten.

Peasant do you need me to send you Norrin's editable profile as text or do you have another copy? I don't want to erase all your hard work if the boards somehow ate yours.

Yup, this is a Paizo messageboard screw-up. You should only be able to edit your own profile and alias' profiles. Hence the password prompt every freaking time.

Creating am Elven Seeker that uses Shiruken. He will have striker as secondary role or actually multi-class into Ranger or Rogue, depending on which opens up the best Paragon Path. I will create alias today and start putting in stats, powers, feats, equipment tonight.

Eastern Standard time - Northern Virginia, US

I'll likely go controller, possibly hybrid striker. I will get in CB tonight and see what comes out.

Interested as well, looking crowded

Temple squared

Stupid question but did you try this first:

1. First -- click on the box to the left of column A to select all cells.

Currently live in Gainesville/Haymarket area in western Prince William and I work in Falls Church. I'm a 4e guy who'd love to have enough time to participate in one of those Encounters sessions.

Amy, any chance you could make the excel map with square cells, it would make LOS and cover much easier to determine. Below is a link with an easy way of doing it, scroll down to where it says, "Update!! In February 2005", that is the simplest and fastest way. Thanks, not sure if it will work in google docs.

How to make excel cells square

I figured that's what you wanted, I was just being snarky.

4 11th level magic items coming right up!

I'm still in, will get it up by tonight or tomorrow morning.

Chris, I would like in if there's still room. I can get a character together quickly, just don't tell my wife I'm in another PBP. I've narrowed my ideas to swordmage, avenger, seeker, ranger, tempest fighter. I have to get into character builder and see what comes out before I make a final decision though.

I can't resist any longer. Is there room for one more? I was hoping there wouldn't be room so I wasn't tempted. I'll post over in the discussion thread as well.

Princess Bride Competition

Amy, would you disallow any of the following races for my Sorcerer, before I get too far, or have any preferences? Hobgoblin, Goblin, Shardmind, Duergar

Currently leaning towards dwarven sorcerer. I will dive into the Char Builder and see what comes out.

Booyah! Here we go, I'm in.

Very upright of you bmars3. Pat you're a go. Prankster and bmar3 are in reserve. You have the weekend to finalize characters while I set up maps and whatnot.

If I had more time, I wouldn't be as upright. I get almost as much enjoyment out of following the 4e games in the forum as I do participating in them. Good luck to all.

Maybe you all should post in the Gamer Connection Forum for a replacement DM, just a thought, there's quite a few qualified 4e DM's floating around here. I'm half tempted to offer my services, just not sure if I have the time or qualifications quite yet.

Pat, go ahead and take my spot here in Ravenloft.
Ghetto and Pat, just put me down for first on the list of your next 4e games.

Sounds fun, I'd like in. I will step aside if there are any other candidates that really want in or Ravenloft fanatics as I'm already in two other current 4E PBP games.

Maybe the villain somehow summons or calls for help to occupy the party as he withdraws and escapes. Possibly reward the party for driving him away or if you go with one of the above magical escape routes, have the villain leave behind a magic item that he drew power from to expedite his departure, kind of a magical component the villain was forced to expend to escape and is now left behind for the party. That way the party feels some satisfaction.

We've got a pretty good pace going and weekends during the summer are busy for everyone.

I'm enjoying. Sturdy kind of liked being possessed by the ghost I think, I didn't see that coming.

I work in Falls Church. Georgetown is a great place to drink and people watch.

I'd like to welcome Evil Incarnate to our nation's capital. Be sure to check out the cherry blossoms. We just went to see them last night and they're in full bloom.

I'm up for more action

I better start getting a character together just in case Tieren doesn't show up. I'll also let Xabulba know since he's in line ahead of me.

My pbp character profiles are pretty detailed as you can see from my other aliases.

Not a problem, I'll copy and paste from Char Builder once completed tonight.

switching to defender, no problem

I will go defender, not a problem, that way everyone gets what they had planned since I had no definite plan.

dot...dotdot

I'm leaning striker, eladrin sorcerer or ranger, but I reserve the right to change once I start playing with the CB.

I'd like to join in, will start working on character, if you'll have me.

2nd alternate?

Yes, I have them both created in DDI CB and just need to choose one and repost here. My wife went into labor a few days early of her due date and we just got out of the hospital yesterday. I'll do my best to get it onto Paizo by Sunday. I just need to be hasty about posting as I only have small windows of time while my new little girl sleeps and my wife doesn't have me on a mission. If you want to start the PBP thread, feel free, it will provide motivation to complete character sheets, myself especially.

Rev Rosey, just an update, I'm toying with Invoker or a control oriented Sorcerer. Also, I'm considering Psion or Monk but I still don't completely grasp some of those classes' mechanics yet. I'm building them in the DDI Char. Builder. I'll make my choice tonight and start porting it over to the Paizo then.

Rev Rosey, I'd like to be considered if you have room.

I should've just kept my mouth shut, as DM Xabulba is already one step ahead of me.

Great, I plan on boosting my OA defense as high as possible, daring enemies to hit me while moving (or someone else moving me) back and forth between helping the Fighter and Warlord while also granting them extra attacks, or assisting the non-melee types.
Is it also a safe assumption that most melee basic attacks of enemies are weaker than their other attacks, so taking an OA once per turn is better than allowing the enemies to really wind up and swing at me? Or did I just convince myself that this a good theory?

I'm still building my PC using the DDI Char. Builder. I've got a few questions if you all could assist? Is the Shifter race allowed in Ebberon? I also have a few questions about rogue tactics and rules that may affect how I build my rogue. If say, Mountain, our Warforged Fighter friend has marked an enemy and my PC attacks that same enemy then moves away without shifting, opening myself up for an OA, and the enemy makes that OA, does the fighter then get to make a melee basic attack against that enemy for attacking me? (Combat Superiority is the class ability I think?)
Also, in a similar situation or in the same example as above, if my rogue uses Riposte Strike, does moving away from the enemy in the same turn, granting the enemy an OA allow me to immediately use my riposte attack and then continue the move action?
Thanks for the help in advance.

You are right. An Artificer is a leader. I agree that a melee striker would seem to fit perfectly, although you should play the character you want. (I often do the same thing - wait until the end to see what the party needs, and that can be fun. This time, I had an idea for something I've been wanting to try out, so I jumped in earlier.)

Luckily I have yet to play a striker of any sort and seeing as we are starting at level 10, going melee should make the myriad of power selections and decisions slightly easier.
