Done.
Yep, I fink I'm dun 'ere.
Korvosa is pretty Dickensian, Fabes. You wanna go on a boat ride?
It seems the Sealust forgot to pay their protection tab, Shiny.
I did think Korvosa. Great minds etc. Cheers!
"I likes me some boats, I do, matey!"
"Gar, we're lookin for a feller to spear the shark when we pull him alongside."
"I int no fisher, but I'll give it a bleedin' good go!"
Poor Syd, he's a cheery salt with a heart of gold. Mmmm salty gold....
Alright, I've got the stats mostly worked up.
Also, here's a rough version of his backstory
Nerius had one other passion though; music and performance. The happiest days for him as a boy where the ones when he learnt to play the fiddle from his father or when old Tervin, a former circus man from Magnimar, would teach him the trade. He studied and learned in the gnome village of Whistledown, growing steadily in arcane power and musical skill, but also in disatysfaction with the quite life he lived. He wanted to travel, to make faces light up with joy at his performances, to explore the world and his arcane talents.
And so he followed the footsteps of his brothers, leaving home as soon as he was able. He joined a carnival where his skill with illusions and flair for performing made him welcome for a brief time. At least until his propensity for bizarre and macabre humor and shows made him unwelcome. He drifted from place to place, performing here and there. He found that unless he restrained himself from the performances that gave him true joy, he was soon driven out of town. Occassionally goblins or such would put of killing him and eating him long enough for him to impress them with his skeletal puppets and eerie tunes.
It was on one of these mad dashes out of town, barely two steps ahead of a violent mob, that he stowed away upon a smuggler's ship bound for Riddleport. What he had hoped would be a short, only mildly unpleasant voyage hiding in a crate took a sharp turn for the worse when slavers attacked, finding the furitive gnome and taking him prisoner. Ever since then, he's been shackled in a hold with a collection of other prisoners, hoping to escape before he's sold to someone who'd have little appreciation for his arts.
Instead of a cleric of Gorum I'm going to go with my 2nd choice, Iomedae, if Mr. Eldritch doesn't mind. :-)
Half-orc cleric hoping to one day be chosen as a paladin of Iomedae.
Orphaned and brought up by an old cleric of Iomedae, Bohdan hopes to shed the stigma of his race and bring to light everything his foster father stood for.
The good guys:
Shiny - Pulsifer (Wizard 2) - Picked up in Sandpoint.
Ian - Qiang (Fighter 2) - Fished out of the water on the way to Sandpoint.
Tobus - Narlok (Rogue 2) - Captured on the Sealust near Magnimar.
Fabesmini - Syd (Fighter 2) - Captured in the fishing grounds south of the Mushfens.
Arctaris (Rogue or Wiz)
Gentle Giant (Cleric or possible Barbarian - later)

Man, I'm having serious troubles with the website

Just finishing my background story.
My connections to Paizo have been really shaky. Server reset, no secure connection, disappearing posts, time warps.
If I disappear for a few days it's not because I ain't trying.
Same here.
Oh, and 3 orphans in the same party? Seems a bit... weird. Maybe I should change mine to brought up by single mother.
Just finishing my background story.
I must say, you have made the best of the PFRPG rules there, Rad. This dude is seriously well rounded.
I'm not sure what you meant by 'assuming max hit points', but your HPs should be 8 (first level) + 1 (favored class, either rogue or cleric, decide now) + 6 (racial HP, p. 11) + 1d8 (cleric). So if you rolled a 3 for your cleric level you are fine.
Have I mentioned that your characters are in deep doo doo?
Shiny, you need more hit points, dude. Don't forget your 6 bonus for being human and your favoured class bonuses (assuming wizard is the favoured class)
[nose-poking ends]
It seems the Sealust forgot to pay their protection tab, Shiny.Huh?
I mean a business like that might have to make a payout to the local pirates to keep from being raided.
Good question.
That's Tobus's character.
I'm on crack.
<Checks his notes.>
At least in the 3 paragraph description I wrote in the afternoon, about Rackham's abduction, I got everything right. Somewhere after dinner time my mind abandoned me, though.
I advise you all to look this thread over, there are posts I have JUST NOW seen for the first time today.
Wait... I missed the whole "humans get bonus HP" thing...Shiny, you need more hit points, dude. Don't forget your 6 bonus for being human and your favoured class bonuses (assuming wizard is the favoured class)
[nose-poking ends]
Yeah it's under Racial Hit Points in the Alpha-humans get 6 hit points
Six hit points (How many hit points?)
Six hit points, Eldritch Mr. Shiny you're on
Ah ah on, ah ah on, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah on
Ah ah on, ah ah
Those six hits will come in handy when the ...
Ahem. Whatever.
And now they've gone and changed a whole load of the alpha rules...
Don't think it affects Syd, having looked over the changes summary.
I must say, you have made the best of the PFRPG rules there, Rad. This dude is seriously well rounded.
Coming from you, that's a great compliment, indeed. :D
EDIT: I don't usually play rogues as the temptation to run amok is great. But since this is a playtest, why not, eh?
BTW, I've finished the Background. Let me know if it's ok with you.
I love the background, Rad.
I'm making battlemaps. Adding your avatars as counters. MUAHAHAHAA!
oops. Except Nerius.
Tobus, Ian, and Rad I have your pre-rolls.
Awaiting others.
Now, a whopping ELEVEN hit points. My AC and HP are THE SAME NUMBER.
Pulsifer's HPs: 6 (lvl 1 wiz) + 6 (human racial) + 2 (favored class wiz, 1 per level) + 1d6 (roll HPs for 2nd lvl) - 2 (con "bonus")
His HPs should be between 13 and 18.
Edited.
Plus Kruelman wants ten d20 rolls to keep behind the screen.
yeah Mr.shiny!
I'm not sure what you meant by 'assuming max hit points', but your HPs should be 8 (first level) + 1 (favored class, either rogue or cleric, decide now) + 6 (racial HP, p. 11) + 1d8 (cleric). So if you rolled a 3 for your cleric level you are fine.
Actually, 18 is from 8 rogue + 8 cleric + 2 Con, I did not factor in the +6 for human.
So I'll just roll the cleric HD equals 1d8=4
For a grand total of 20 HP.
PAGE 11 RACIAL HIT POINTS, don't forget them guys.
Kruelaid, in your version of Golarion, are there firearms?
Yes, there are cannons, too - cannons being all that much easier to build. I'm totally with JJ on the idea that technology in Avistan got knocked back rather far, so you tend to not see it here, it's very exotic. It's more common where magic is suppressed, and I'm waiting on the Gazetteer to find out where that is.
When do we sail into Slavery the Adventure?
When do we sail into Slavery the Adventure?
I am highly prepared. I just need to write intros for 2 more guys...
We'll start with you guys getting a chance to banter and meet a few of the mad corsairs, then I'm gonna bust out some awesome maps and see what a squad of PRPG monkeys can do.
OMG
Dial up.
Ahhh. Memories: looking at porn thumbs back in 1998.
OMG
Oil This!
The monkey bares his yellowing teeth
