ok; depending on how the party shapes up will be how I determine my disciple; am looking at a Elan Psion; Elans were humans that petitined the psion council and once accepted underwent a transformation in a ritual to become Elans; in any world this could be treated just as any cabal or group of monks, mages or whatnot as psions are typically independant and a bit exclusionary; you could treat it as any monestary or tower of sorcery or whatnot; there are several ways to treat psionics in the game; one suggestion is just treat them as you would any other spell, which I have found to be the easiest and the ley population just treats them like yet another magic user with wonderous and dangerous powers. Elans are a +0 race and typically have poor social graces due and low charisma. If someone plays a warforged as I read they might; then I will probably due the shaper so I can help heal him; if we find we have no blasters then i will probably due kineticist; but if we are pretty balanced the Egoist is just a pretty good overall helper.

so; basically psions are mage types; good will saves; poor everything else and terrible hps and ac; well, just like a mage.

I envision my character living in some hidden desert monestary (that many people have heard of and isnt that hard to find and is only hidden due to not many wanting to go there and a bit of fear) that having been accepted, transformed and trained by the desert cabal of psions; I have gone back to the world to test and grow by powers by joining a band of adventures; my i envision this character to be somewhat monklike and act a bit like a magic using monk; my stats will look like this;
Str 8
dex 13
con 14
int 18
wis 12
char 8
after spending the 3 points you give and applying the -2 racial charisma modifier.
so looks like 6 hps at first level; will flesh out rest of character if you think this is ok.

...Que?

Okay, so you know what a psion is. That's good. However, I'm not approving of the Elan bit. Elan IS one of my favorite psionic races, but I feel that, since we really don't know too much about the world of Pathfinder, we should let that dog lie.

I'm still good with you being a psion, though. And I don't mind your little desert monastary idea. Honestly, though, I don't like the idea of you specifically setting out to join adventurers; to me, that's really just a contrived excuse to join a party with little hassle. It lacks imagination, with no offense meant, of course.

With that said, in Sandpoint, there is a monk who runs a sort of monastary/library devoted to the god of knowledge. Perhaps you could work that in, somehow...?

Anyways, I haven't decided how to fit in psionics; I might end up going with the "magic, but different" route that you suggested. But, where did you hear about there being a warforged...?

By the way, everyone, NO warforged. Or, any non PHB race, for that matter (unless it's a subrace).

The Exchange RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32

Oh, yeah, was it Talion who was asking the question about two weapon fighting?

The answer is yes, if you're still wondering.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

so basically your saying no psions; ok; can deal with that since there are no base races in the pbh with psionics; just thought it would be something different from the ho hum everybodies done that a million times races and stuff; will take a look at what else might be interesting in this setting though I dont know much about pathfinder yet.

No psionic RACES. Don't put words in my mouth, man.

Do you need any info on Sandpoint or Pathfinder in general?


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

ok; maybe I missunderstand; how can you be a psion without having psionic races; none of the pbh ones have psionics? am confused... to play a psion you need to have psion points and generate them daily before you can even take the starting class.

... Psions get their own pool of power points. Are you sure you understand how to play as a psionic?

What book is the ECS?

Sorry, it's the Eberron Campaign Setting. It basically adds a set of spells (1st - 9th level) to the Druid's Spell List. Many are charm spells.

I've updated the profile for Elegost, so I'm good to go. Pending DM approval of course ;-)

Good character.

As a Pathfinder initiate, you were instructed to go to Sandpoint to wait for an experienced explorer, to whom you were to assist in his next expedition. While you were there, your superior added, with a twinkle in his eye, you might as well enjoy the festival that was going on.

... Would you like to use that as to your reasoning to be in Sandpoint, or would you like to use a different approach?

EDIT: Wait. Just noticed that you used Magnimar as your City Born rather than Korvosa. Explain?

I went with Magnimar, because Elegost spent most of the last decade based out of Magnimar with his studies and then the Pathfinders, after fleeing Korvosa in exile.

If you feel it would be more appropriate to go with Korvosa, I can switch it around.

No, you're good; I had a feeling why, plus I imagine, with your character's background, you would try cutting ties with Korvosa.

Yeah, it made sense in my head, but I was writing up the background late at night, so some things could have been edited or explained better.

I'll probably clean it up and give a little more detail on my pathfinder years, ie. that I had been to Sandpoint many times in the past, as discussed on this thread, etc.

I dunno... I wouldn't mind having someone in the party with 112 Strength... that +51 to hit and damage would do wonders for clearing out the monsters so my Rogue doesn't get hit...

But he's no good if he's a corpse with 112 STR; only 0 CON.

Ok, now that I got the jokes out of my system with the last post...

Sect, any idea how close we are to starting the adventure?* I'm not sure how many characters still need to be finished (if any), or if you need time for prep, etc.

* I'm really just needing a DnD fix... I just found out that with a new shift bid taking effect at my work, I'm going to be on hiatus from my regular weekly game for the next couple of months. But at least I'm in 3 PbP games ;-)

Okay boys and girls, here it is.

First off, the list of potential players I have right now are Chimp, Talion, Keno, Dreamweaver, Kahoolin, and Valegrim. (Dreamweaver and Kahoolin, I got your names from Aubrey. If you don't want to be in, that's fine.) So far, Keno has said that he's interested.

Yes! Yes I would love to play, if you still have room. Thanks! And thanks to Aubrey. I only just saw this thread...

EDIT: Wow sorry man, I just went back and read the thread and realized it's from last week - If you do feel like opening a 7th slot that'd be cool, but I'm going to Thailand for a week on monday so I'd just set you back another week before we could start. Depends on if you want to get right into it or if you don't mind waiting another week. Anyway Sect, thanks for waiting as long as you did, and I totally understand if you want to just go ahead without me.

Did I see someone else mention that they're starting a campaign? Maybe it would be better if I jumped in on that seeing as everyone in this one seems keen to get cracking.

All right, you got spot seven. Gimme me a moment, and I'll write down our troop. For easy access, all the players' profiles are on my DM Sect alias.

The Exchange RPG Superstar 2011 Top 32

All right:

Keno - Shoanti Barbarian
Chimpman - Gnome Druid
Talion - Chelax Rogue
Dreamweaver - Elf Scout
Valegrim - Psion(?)
Kahoolin - Has Responded
Nameless - Chelax Conjurer

Nameless, I forgot to put you on the DM Sect profile. Whoops. How's your character.

Valegrim, I'm sorry if I came across as condescending. You do not need to be a psionic race to have power points; if you look, there's a chart for determining power points. You have a good character idea, you just need to double check yourself. I still would rather not have you as an Elan, for there is alot I do not know of this setting.

Kahoolin, hello! How are you?

Talion (I think), the game won't start until everyone's finished with their characters. THe earliest will be Saturday, on my time (my schedule's been jacked up to hell for the past week).

Nani, why the hell did I put you on my profile?

Keno, fine, bring the Mountain Dew.

It's up to the players; as I had said before, it won't start until everyone's done with their characters.

Is there? If you think that's best... tell me if you get in.

OK, how about this? I was thinking a Varisian Paladin or Hexblade, but the party is already quite strong anyway so you can easily play without me. If you guys want to wait for another week and a half to get everything perfect then I'm in. But only if you want to wait, I don't want to hold the whole game up any more than I have already.

Otherwise it's no worries, I'll just check the boards for another game when I get back from overseas. I'll be back on the 8th of September.

I'm thinking about starting a Expedition to the Ruins of Castle Grayhawk PBP game but I have to wrap up another game I have running on another message board before I start that.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

Sect, you must have a different book than I do, my book says that you have to have psionics before you can take a class or gain psion points from that chart; there is a feat that you must take to become a natural psion and as feats are so rare in this game, i dont want to buy that feat to make a normal player race a natural psion. It is no big deal; am looking at the list and seems we could use magic or fighting or maybe some healing, not that I am all that concerned about best classes to make a group, but am thinking this is a fairly light, highly mobile group at the moment. My three character ideas were psion, or transmuter, or paladin - the archer version as I notice the pathfinder lg diety had bow as favored weapon. Mages, sorcerers and psions seem to be quite rare in pathfinder as either hedgewizards, though the elves and presumable the gnomes have schools. Most of the wizards are demon summoners and devil worshipers hmm Nameless.

Am anxious to get my character done; any of these three would be good or anything else you think would be good for the story. My paladin would be alot like my character Victor Valens-Bentleaf as that game ended abruptly; would just have to change his rolls and alter for this game. i didnt really get to play that guy much and think he would fit into this group quite well, you can see him under my name; will post a hello; i realize he would have to be changed a bit.

Background.
Born of retired adventurers, an elven ranger mother and a human warrior father - who after getting married settled
down into trade and had several children. As a youngster through his teen years; Victor road with this father's wagon
selling the family wares of fine archery equipment, weapons, and armor. While at home he was
taught to craft archery equipment and learned weapon skills but during his trips to various places with his
dad, Victor saw may wonders of the peoples of the world; yet also, many evils and wicked things. This
distrubed Victor greatly; a boy of tender heart who walks slowly and picks his footing carefuly to not even
bring harm to small plants and animals - like ants, worms and such. His dreams began to become quite agonizing
and he asked his mothers advice; she helped him prepare a gift for the temple of Corellon and went there to
offer his gift and pray and seek council with the Elven Priesthood. There, Victor came aware that the great
Elven God had called him to make a difference; to ease suffering and protect the weak so he enrolled in training
and was accepted as a Paladin of Corellon. Victor now travels the world, slowly to be sure and with careful footsteps,
to do his dieties will and fight for the cause of Good.

Val,

I'm looking at the Expanded Psionics Handbook, and it says nothing about requiring a feat.

But, do what you want. Just come up with another character idea, if you can't get the psion to work out.

I'd also prefer to get started, but I wouldn't be adverse to brining a 7th character in along the way (say when Kahoolin gets back from his trip). We'd just have to work his character intro into whatever scene we were in, but I think that should be ok - that's what DM's do, right? ;) If Kahoolin is ok with missing a week or so of the campaign then I think that would be the best option.

If someone feels strongly about waiting, I can wait. However I think it's better to get the show on the road.

Hm... all right. That's a good plan.

Kahoolin, go ahead and develop your character. I'll try to start play on Saturday (or whenever Val finishes his character), and you'll be inserted midway through, if you want.

Is everyone good on their backgrounds? Any one need additional information?

... Is that right? Huh. All right, Monday. Extremely busy on Friday.

EDIT: Actually, when Val's done with his character, which will hopefully within the next two days, we'll start with the festival, where you guys can role play. Action won't happen till Monday.

how are we sending character copies to you? and what level do you expect this game to go to; i like to map out my characters ahead of time so I get all the feats and stuff right for prestige classes, seems with all the players mostly in light armors that cleric would be the best choice and that would open up the druid to do more than heal; so I have a half elf cleric onboard and mapped out to 20 so how do I give it to you?

Just make him level one, and follow everyone else's lead; take a look at... Jallia's character sheet, and use that format.

Half elf cleric, eh? Native of Sandpoint?

hmm, I cant find out much about the pathfinder dieties; the rise of the runelords section is pretty thin...


Male, 5th born of 7; two older brothers from mothers prior marriage. HE Varisian/Elf Cleric 1

Am thinking my father married an elf he fell in love with while adventuring and brought her back to the extended family over by the river; she taught many of the cousins elven hunting and trapping and added to the family wealth; so while dad was always looked down on a bit for bedding with an elf; the clan gained in prosperity overall; dad did most of the traveling and trading with city folk and being a good fighter, with mom, taught us all how to fight to protect the family. The extended family would be about five families ours being the smallest as mom's gestation is a bit longer and she is not as fertile as a human with most families having 12-15 children of all ages which is typical for a community with no birth control. With a few large family herds trade goods would also include homespun wool and wool garments, dried meat and fruit, fancy needlework quilts, leatherwork and other cottage industry stuff that busy townfolk would want. Purchases would be things like barrels, blacksmith items, rugs, glass and things from the ocean as well as any manufactured items that would keep the family wagons rolling. I picture the Varisians a lot like gypsies and tinkerers.

The clan spends fall and winters stretched out along the river Yondabakari am thnking right about where the Yonda word is on the map with Sandpoint being the closest town many would travel there for a big annual festival and to pick up supplies and drop of goods for sale. During the spring the clan moves to the Velashu Uplands or over by the Curchain hills to breed stock and mix with other clans.

this would be a rural area with maybe ten or so more farming clans pretty similar stretched out along the river Yondabakari am thnking right about where the Yonda word is on the map with Sandpoint being the closest town many would travel there for a big annual festival and to pick up supplies and drop of goods for sale.

Hmmm... That being the case it is very probable that Jallia and Farevon might already know each other. Being a druid, Jallia could have been consulted on all sorts of problems ranging from the birthing of animals to the protection of crops from various blights and rots. People from across the countryside might bring sick or injured animals to her to heal, and if the illness is serious enough, she may even have traveled out to visit them (doing housecalls as it were).

Perhaps she and Farevon met on just such a trip. Being a gnome (and our illustrious DM can correct me if I'm wrong - I don't have the Player's Guide handy at the moment) she is probably less prejudiced against half elves than either humans or elves would be. It's possible that she is one of the few real friends Farevon has (outside of his extended family of course).

Just some thoughts. What do you think?

Sounds cool to me; being a druid your sect probably keep tabs on both elves as allies, expecially as my characters mom is an elven ranger and other clergy to find out what they are up to and the comings and going of our wandering clans to ensure we dont overgraze or take to many wildlife; also, you would probably trade information with various clans as they would tell what they saw on their wanderings and you could tell the local situation of good grazing and any unrest; seems like a natural thing between clans and druids as well as preforming marriage rites and other things of spiritual nature the wandering clans might need.

hehe as old as your character is and as uncommon as elves are here, you probably helped delivered my character at birth and I may have casually known you all of my life.

also, the players book says that Sandpoint is less prejudiced than most places.

Kahoolin, go ahead and develop your character. I'll try to start play on Saturday (or whenever Val finishes his character), and you'll be inserted midway through, if you want.

Awesome. I look forward to joining the game when I get back!

Okay, Valegrim:

This character sounds pretty good. I kind of like the fact that you don't have some tragic history like the rest of these drama queens ^_^

Now, the thing I have issue with is your character sheet.

Now, I don't have RoD on me at the time, so could you tell me the effects of Heroic Destiny? Depending on the description, I might allow this as your background feat.

What's up with the racial +1 skill points? Half elves don't get this, last I checked.

You don't need seperate Knowledges for the same thing. Conserve your skill points.

... Knowledge Law? Are you sure you want that, because I can't think of any reason for me to use that.
