Tiberius enters the scene, draped in his new vestments as a member of the church. He has been instructed to seek out adventure and wonder, and promote the Church and bring more followers. Though he is devoted to the church, he knows there are other gods in the universe. One of them saved him when he was a child, and helped him in times of great need. He approaches a priest of the church and asked, Tell me Father, where might one go to find these adventures? The Orcs may pose a significant problem for the city and these rumors should be investigated, but I haven’ta thought of where to start.

If Nomadical and the rest of the party are willing, I’m down for just jumping into a new scenario.

You focus on you, get better and we will continue with you when you’re better

I figured it was the easiest solution. Something about how I removed the device caused her to shut down and reboot or something.

Still here, just looking for a decent way to join the narrative that doesn't feel too contrived.

I literally just made our cybernetic go catatonic because her player had to leave for a few days, hopefully she comes back, if not, we will leave a note on where to find us. lol.

It’s all good bud, take your time and heal up.

Exactly my point. Though having it to identify different alchemical items, there really isn’t much use for creating alchemical items.

I guess I just don't see the appeal in crafting any more here. I loved the alchemist for his crafting, but now it seems so mundane. I get that I can just pay up front and have access to lesser items, but lets take Elixir of Life into example.

At Level 1, this item's price is 3 GP, Then we will jump to level 9 for 150.

Level 1 calculations:
1.5GP upfront cost, spend 4 days crafting, spend remaining 1.5GP (If available (common item, probably available) just buy it and save 4 days of downtime.
Task Level 1, .2GP for trained earning, it will take 8 ADDITIONAL days, to save 1.5 GP, so in 12 days we "earned" 1.5 GP. If I just did Earned income that whole time for the same Level 1, I'd make 2.4 GP (.2x12) in essence, loosing 1GP in the 12 days. Including money spent, with crafting, I've spent 1.5 (1.5GP initial, 12 days total crafting), without, I've spent .6GP (.2GP earned for 12 days giving me 2.4GP, but spending 3 GP on the item.)

Bump up to Level 9
Our new Elixir has a cost of 150 GP, so we spend 75. After 4 days, assuming we made the check, we can spend an additional 150GP for the item, or spend up to an additional 19 days crafting to keep our cost that low (75GP/4GP daily earned income) so, 23 days to save 75 GP in item cost. Total earned income? 92 GP. Again, using the same level (if available) to calculate total. At this level I'd say it's a fair assessment pending where you are that these jobs may not be available, so crafting might be the better option, then again, if it is, you'd just do that as your total actual cost is still lower just buying the bloody thing and working Earned Income the whole time.

Oh, just for giggles, 19 level Elixir cost 4,000 GP and 35 days to complete. Earned Income nets 4,550

I get that they were trying to help balance party WBL, but at the same time, they nerfed crafting so much I don't see a need for it, other than character flavor. I'm just going to buy everything.

Bloody Goblins! Open this door! You hear shouted from below decks. There’s a bit of crashing and banging. Suddenly two goblins scurry up from below decks laughing and jumping, meanwhile being chased by a large cloaked figure. He attempts to grab one but he easily slips away. If I didn’t need this passage, I’d cleave all of you to tiny pieces and feed you to the sharks! he exclaims again. Across his chest you see a bandolier with several small vials, none of them labeled, but each has very distinct colorations to them, you also see a couple of twigs, some leaves, and a vial of unknown liquid sitting in the last pouch. Across the Half-Orcs back lays a Greataxe, and you make out what appears to be a dagger jutting from his belt. A keen eye notices another dagger on his left forearm, and a sling tied to his right. As the goblins climb the main mast and well out of his reach, he shouts out, By Sarenrae’s light, if I ever get the chance, you’ll learn why the call me Cracked Tusk! with that he retreats back below deck, not wishing to be disturbed unless necessary.

There are no gods in this setting, and no one has ever heard of any such entities. There are 'God Minds', which are psionic entities that take the place of traditional deities.

probably what he was referring to

Rushing through the market there was no stealth check, once we turned off the street and down the alley I direct her to make an immediate right and push Eleven up against the wall. My back to her holding my arm to keep her back. I draw the sickle from my side and prepare to pounce on whomever comes around the corner following us. I’ll whispers over to her. we don’t have much time, what in the gods is going on here?

Ha! Same for a lot of people bud.

Good news everyone, due to the complexity of the bandit camp, I’m going to attempt this map thing. I already copied your tokens from your profile page, I will get the map up once we get there.

Shes very thankful, ultimatly relaxed, and rethinking her orientation.

Eddy looks at the floating figures and a chill runs down his spine, DO YOU NOT SEE THEM FLOATING!!! with that he turns to the floating specters and draws his flail. Holding it crosswise, parallel to the ground, he kneels and calls out. Great spirits! We have come to stop a menace from destroying that which you have fought for. Allow us passage and we shall rid you of your curse!

Your test was unsat

Completed the update and should be good to go now.

I’ll go through and double check everything again. There have been a lot of submissions, are you going to narrow it down?

Changed my mind, he went rogue. Might get a canto later through his tricks

Well then, just in case I'll try the make-up here.

I got nothing... he's probably going to die.

I don’t suppose you have room for 1 more do you?

I would be thrilled to see more Thassilonian Magic... just saying...

How long will you be recruiting

Isn’t there an Artificer Class? A buddy of mine and I were passing back and forth ideas for one, never went past that really. Sounded amazing though

Currently in the process of looking up the background generation and working it out. Hope there won't be three submissions in the coming two or so hours... need to spread attention to two small children as well.

Keep us updated! Family life comes first in my book so if it happens, I’ll look to see if I can fit you in.

Recruitment for my campaign is HERE

Isn’t it amazing how many people want to play Kingmaker? I don’t think any other AP gets this much love. Tell you guys what. I’ll try to DM (my first time) but there would be some expectations involved. I wouldn’t have any maps or handouts, so classic D&D experience would be applied, also sources would be limited to just a few books. I’m thinking Core, APG, UM, UC, and UE. You can roll for stats, (4d6 reroll 1s) or 20 pt. Buy. You may choose the point buy after you roll. Again, I’m not experienced in DMing so take that as you may.

Anyhow, enough about us for now. What kind of character concepts did you guys have in mind? I'm excited to see what ideas you've developed.

My character concept is the first post, a traveling merchant looking to establish an actual shop. Probably an Alchemist with a burned feat in leadership so that he can get a manager for free.

The down side is everyone want to play Kingmaker, not run it! lol

It's a lot of (Ex) abilities that can let me function as an in-combat healer without expressly disrupting the flow. As an action I can apply a small number of HP to the target that may have various benefits. Definitely not the "You Can Be Whole Again" of a Cleric, but more of a "You're still alive, and you'll heal eventually".

Ah gotcha, I’ll stick with the vitalist then.

I’ve got a character concept I want to put through the Kingmaker AP. He’sa traveling Alchemist Merchant looking to start a new career. Hired by the Swordlords to form a new kingdom and take over as the realms treasurer.

Dot for Path of War's Medic class!!!

*bouncebouncebounce*

** spoiler omitted **
** spoiler omitted **

I'll return to flesh this out if the class is okay? *hopes*

It will be good to have two different healers, this should be interesting as I mostly stay in the back and pick off the baddies while healing the frontlines. How does the medic work?

I’m going to see what I can come up with for a platonic healer as everyone here seems to want some sort of fighter, any thoughts?

So I’ve got two options I’m looking at. One is a refit of Gigar. He’s a Xeph soulknife who focuses on ranger combat, the other is an aegis forgeborn, two-handed fighter type. Let me know what you guys think and I’ll finish flushing out the characters on here.

Would you accept a forgeborn aegis from ultimate psionics (dream scarred press)?

Dotting

Hey guys, I’ve done a couple of PbP games, only one of which did anything for my character, the rest typically died. After a long hiatus, I want to get back into PbP and what better way them to start with a brand new system. So anyone needing a level 1 ranger, let me know. I’ve already had Leyewin step into the lodge.

Ok, so I have been seeing a bunch of posts asking for new classes like swashbuckler and thing things like that. What I don't understand, is why does Paizo have to make a new class that just combines what is already out there? Ninja (rouge/monk), Cavalier (Paladin/Fighter), Magus (Wizard/Fighter), Alchemist (Wizard/Rogue), even the witch (WIZARD/WIZARD! They just redid what he can do!). All these classes would make great prestige classes, but at their core, they are just these base classes. Why make it easier to get the things we want. Back when I first began playing D&D, I loved trying to figure out how to multi-class to get just what my character needs, but Paizo keeps putting out all these "combo classes" and takes away from the adventure. Am I just precieving this wrong? If so, help a guy out please. MAX TO THE CORE!!!

I am shocked! Gigar exclaims, his hand clutching his chest. Shocked I say, at the accusation. have you never heard the one single cardinal rule? Never steal from your employer!

Yeah, I had a situation like this once when I was in the party. My DM nerfed him, killed him, and said if he did that again he might as well just walk out the door. We all looked at him and said the same thing, brandishing our Rapier, Bow and Greataxe repectivly. He got the hint.
