Well, since we now have a good chunk of the classes out, I figure the time is right for me to give the new system a whirl. So, I'm looking for 4-6 players willing to put the new system through its paces and perhaps post up their thoughts in a separate thread from time to time.
I'll be leaving recruitment open for a couple of days or until I get enough people, whichever comes last. In the event that I get a surplus of volunteers (As seems likely, given the speed at which such threads are pounced on), I'll draw lots. I'll be looking at maintaining a rate of at least one post per day, ideally.
Character creation will be by 32 point buy, with standard starting wealth. Core books and alpha document only (plus the players' guide, of course). To begin with, at least.
Well, that seems to to be the basics. Any questions, post away.

I'd love to play in this! Is there any particular party role you'd like filled? There's not a single Alpha 2 class that doesn't appeal. Quick question, though: do you mind if we pull feats or prestige classes from other Pathfinder material? It might be fun to play a Justiciar of Abadar with crossbow mastery, or a Spherewalker of Desna for instance.
Edit: Scratch the Justiciar unless I make them rogue/fighter-based. As I brushed up on Abadar, I realized that I couldn't just heal people for free and do other heroic stuff without compensation. Not the sort of PC I like to play. Also, I'm just throwing ideas out there. I'd be perfectly happy to play a single-classed character.
Me too please I have been trying to into a rise game since I found this site. I could play a fighter or a rogue. Really I could play just about anything but those are what I'm looking for. I hope they do something equally cool with ranger when they get round to it.
Hey Chris is that max starting wealth or rolled starting and how do you what us to roll, break out our own dice or do you have a site in mind?
Put me down as a possible player, if you don't mind having a player who is both playing and DMing the AP already. I can seperate player knowledge from character knowledge, and I really love the adventure path.
I've got a Gnome Sorcerer in the works, just as a heads up. Probably fear, necro focus. Never played one before!
Working on story now....Any word on our setting? What do we know?
Creepy gnome necromancer = lots of fun.

Oh she'll be creepy for sure.
Arctaris, hope I'm not speaking out of line, but rather as a suggestion:
First of all, I love goblins. I have played them before, and always have a good time. It's a great source of roleplaying material, and as a DM, in my worlds, goblins, orcs, etc are not attacked on sight in towns and so. There's enough prejudice and racism in the real world, I would rather create imaginary worlds with more tolerance (assuming the gobbo or whatever isnt wreaking havoc in town). Adventurers are weird people. Is it a far leap that there would be an adventuring goblin? Probably not.
That being said, for the purpose of this game, as a playtest, maybe you could adopt the rules for the gnome or the halfling? The increased intelligence would certainly play out as a reason to ditch your tribe; it would certainly set you apart from your peers.
If this is a playtest, I figure we should try to work within what we have so far, so that we can work out what is effective, and what isn't.
Alternatively, it would be a great chance to actually test out some rules for goblins as PCs!

Oh she'll be creepy for sure.
I played a gnome necromancer/bard once. He was a blast to play. He wasn't even trying to creep people out, he just had a very different perspective on life (or rather death) than everyone else. He'd put on puppetshows and such using animated corpses. He also tended to keep heads with the intention of making them talk. Good times.
Arctaris, hope I'm not speaking out of line, but rather as a suggestion:
** spoiler omitted **
I don't mind the suggestion at all. Modifying the halfling's stats would be a good idea, although I was thinking that a penalty to Wisdom (possibly off-set by a bonus on Constitution?) might fit.
Class-wise I'll play whatever the group needs, since I can fit him into just about any role. I'll work on specific concepts and post them later.
Will we be allowed to use WotC-published materiels?
Based on the original post, I'm guessing no. Keep in mind, this is a playtest. It's about data first and fun second. I think I'd be happy if the GM consented to other material from pathfinder sources, which I really don't expect.
Will we be allowed to use WotC-published materiels?
I was thinking a PrC later on, I'm happy to take just PFRPG stuff though.
Timespike: I'm willing to allow feats and prestige classes on an individual basis, and I have no reason to think that Pathfinder material is unbalanced, so the odds are good you'll be able to use it. That said, I think by the time people are qualifying for prestige classes, we may well have some updated ones in the alpa document up to play with. Bottom line, anything outside core, run it past me and I'll give you a ruling.
Wolvenone: Upon reflection, we'll go with max starting wealth to avoid too much disparity in equipment to begin with.
xdahnx: The setting is Varisia, specifically the coastal town of Sandpoint. You can assume your characters know anything presented in the players' guide here, and we will be beginning on the day of the Swallowtail Festival, a ritual to consecrate the town's new cathedral and a draw for all sorts of people to be in town.
Arctaris:
I'm a little leery of goblin PCs, particularly given the opening stages. I might be swayed by the right pitch. One thing I'm not going to do is adjust the stats to bring them in line with the standard races. Playing a goblin has rather significant downsides, which makes the decision a serious one. If you want to play a goblin badly enough to take that hit, I won't stand in your way.
A few notes on overall objectives here. I'm wanting to test out the new rules, but part of that is flexibility. How the options in the core books compare to those in the splatbooks, whether people would prefer to run something else given the option (and why), that kind of thing.
The second objective, and the more important one, is to have fun with this. If we're not playing the game for the sheer fun of it, there's not much point.
Fern is in the House!

Paladin is cool with me. I don't intend on doing a whole lot of dirty necro things, so it should be fine. The fear stuff is mostly based off her own experiences, and some creepy elements.
Am also looking at the PRC Dread Witch from Heroes of Horror, page 98. But that is some way away, if I do intend to go there.
If someone else would like to play an arcanist, I don't think it will be a problem at all. Fern doesn't even know magic missile!
Meet Kyran Semnir, paladin of Erastil. I'm hoping that the Alpha 3 release with the ranger class in it hits at some point during our playtest and that I can use the Devoted Tracker feat from complete adventurer with him, but if not, no problem. :)
Edit: I see no problems with Kyran and Fern getting along. If anything, he'll probably feel deeply sympathetic towards her. This is not a self-righteous, holier-than-thou paladin.
Here is the goblin character concept. I'm working on a couple of other ones in case this doesn't work and will post them hopefully tomarrow.
Korpiklanni Horsekiller
One year ago Korpiklanni (then called Kork) was a goblin destined to become a Big Goblin Hero in the Mosswood tribe. He earned his name, Horsekiller, by striking the finally blow in a battle against a particularly large longshank horse, quite an accomplishment for a goblin. His fame was short lived, since a few months later Big Chief Ripnugget of the Thistletop tribe approached the chief of the Mosswood tribe with an offer, winning most of the Mosswood goblins over with gifts of food, longshank ale, and fine presents stolen from a longshank caravan. For a while the fact that Mosswoods hate Thistletops was ignored at the prospect of some great triumph over the longshanks (Mosswoods believe that the Thistletop island is rightfully theirs and the Thistletop goblins stole it from them severl generations ago, meaning about twenty-five years. Most of the tribes have similair feelings). A few goblins distrusted the Thistletop goblin's offers of truce, including Korpiklanni's father. Since the Mosswood goblins are a fractious lot, they decided that this would be an ideal time to take revenge on the Thistletop goblins by ruining their plan and to take control of the tribe for their family. Unfortunately due to a complete lack of planning and a few last minute betrayels, the uprisin went poorly and only Korpiklanni survived (and only because he groveled for mercy when the battle went bad). Instead of being killed outright, the new cheif branded him an exile, knocked him unconcious, stuffed him in a sack and dumped him near the Sandpoint.
This would have been a death sentance for most goblins, but Korpiklanni is smarter than your average goblin. He knew a little of the longshank-talk and managed to get Gorvi to let him stay in the Sandpoint junkyard as a guard and a helper in Gorvi's street-cleaning buisness. He took a new name for himself too, although he still bear the Horsekiller title with pride.
He tries to stay out of trouble and tries to follow the longshank rules since, despite his hatred for the longshanks, he enjoys a soft life on the outskirts of their society. He likes living in his little hut in the junkyard, has arranged a truce with the Seven Tooth Tribe (he covers up some of thier tracks, they don't kill him), and has even developed agrudging respect bordering on lliking for a few of the longshanks. He also holds a grudge, both against the Thistletop goblins and the chief of his old tribe (he thinks that he is the rightful chief) and hopes to go back to the Mosswood tribe, kill their chief, take over, and then retake thier ancestral home of Thistletop.

I'd love to get into a game around here too, if there is still space.
I think you're probably good to go. The OP was saying 4-6 players. Right now, we've got about 4, and only 3 of us have submitted fully-fleshed-out characters.
Edit: to the goblin player: please just don't make the little git evil and we should be okay. ;)
Fern is in the House!
One of our dog's is named Fern.
Is there room for a dwarven druid in the mix. One that elects to take the nature bond as an Earth domain instead of an animal companion?
|
|
Fern - Drug Addicted Claustrophobic Gnome Sorcerer
Kyran - Farmer turned Paladin, Smite Evil with a hoe
Horsekiller - Angry Goblin
Osprey - Half-Elf Locksmith. Yup. Just a locksmith.
Grond - Earth Domain Dwarf Druid
Erekose13? What are you thinking? That would make 6!
Arctaris, is Horsekiller's intention to take over the tribe, and leave the party to pursue that life?
|
I'm thinking cleric. Looking through the Alpha 2 doc now to decide, but I'm liking the domain powers. I'd like to see how the craft rules work too because they are changed somewhat from the original ones and think they could use some playtesting.
Its either that or a barbarian... hmm. Nah will stick to Cleric. I'll keep looking it over and should have a prelim character up later today.
|
|
Erekose13, the craft rules haven't been changed, as far as I can tell.
The doc even says:
Designer Notes: Unchanged Skills
As of this release of the Pathfinder RPG, the following
skills have not changed from the way that they work in the
3.5 ruleset: Climb, Craft, Disguise, Escape Artist, Handle
Animal, Heal, Knowledge (all except arcana), Perform,
Profession, Ride, Sleight of Hand, Swim, and Use Magic
Device. Further releases might alter these skills as needed.
Erekose13 here :)
Alrighty I'll be working on Devrin Vallis, Varisian Cleric of Desna.
I've been working on Devrin's character sheet and have a couple of questions regarding some of the optional rules.
1. What hp rules are we going to use for starting hit points?
2. Not that it applies during character creation, but what level of advancement are we using?
Here is a spoiler view of the character so far. I'll be adding description and background later tonight. One thing of note, with the lack of XP expense for creating items, I took Scribe Scroll and bought a couple cure scrolls up front at 1/2 cost.

Arctaris, is Horsekiller's intention to take over the tribe, and leave the party to pursue that life?
No, greed and glory are powerful calls for a goblin so he thinks that he can adventure for a while, gather power and wealth and become a Big Goblin King.
He also might just take a liking to the party and stay.|

Yep, misfits and weirdos. That's an adventuring party, all right. ;)
are you guys full yet? Looking to play either a Paladin or a Dwarf Ranger...let me know just saw this so...
I've been working on Devrin's character sheet and have a couple of questions regarding some of the optional rules.
1. What hp rules are we going to use for starting hit points?
2. Not that it applies during character creation, but what level of advancement are we using?
1) Standard hit points. I figure a large party ought to be survivable without that boost, but it can be changed fairly easily if need be.
2) Standard experience progression.
Also, recruitment closes when I get back from work this evening. With seven volunteers thus far, looks like I'll have to draw those lots.
Here is one of the other character concepts I have, if I get a spot and if the goblin doesn't work out.
However, Fate had a different plan for him; his time had come. Angered by his denial of inevitable death and by his cruel apathy fort he plight of those he led, a priest of Pharasma sent him from the world on the very eve of his ascension to Lichdom.
The goddess of fate judged him harshly. Of all the wicked souls, Pharasma reserved a special ‘reward’ for him. He was sent neither to Heaven nor Hell, nor the endless void. He was returned to Golarion to eternally serve her will.
Stripped of power and endlessly driven to put the wicked to the sword to redeem his own crimes, he wanders Golarion doing what he must, always hoping that he may someday earn death and escape from his miserable existence. Not even death offers him solace, since everytime his crusades have brought him close to death's cold embrace, a miracle has intervened.
Personality- The Champion of Fate is miserable, forced to serve eternally. Guilt and self-loathing drive him on his unending quest. His sleep is disturbed by dreams of his own past deeds, his own sins, which serves only to fuel his guilt. He is quite, voicing his opinions in a soft almost-whisper only when he has something of value to add to a discussion. He discusses nothing about himself and never removes his porcelain mask. He will help any in need, desperate to redeem himself and relieve his servitude. His past as a aristocrat has not entirely abandoned him, and he retains a noticeable air of nobility and courtly manners.
Appearance- The Champion of Fate always appears the same. His most notable feature is his exquisitely crafted porcelain mask. At first glance one might assume that he is not wearing a mask and is merely an exceptionally pale man with few expressions but upon closer examination the truth becomes apparent. It is a gleaming dull silver color and is etched with countless tiny, almost invisible runes. Its expression is locked eternally in grim determination, with a slightly furrow brow and its mouth set in a determined lined. It has only wells of impenetrable darkness for eyes that give the whole affair a rather morose appearance. He wears a fine coat of black leather with deep blue cuffs embroidered with symbols of fate, death, and justice. Beneath the coat he wears a red velvet tunic with the symbol of his goddess sewn into it with golden silk, and simple black pants. He always wears tall black boots and a pair of impeccably clean black lether gloves.
Since we seem to have a decent range of classes, I was thinking of playing him as a paladin, possbily multiclassing into fighter or if we only want one paladin, as a multiclass fighter/cleric.
The other concept I have is a fighter/mage from the Korovsan Acadamae who's been sent to Sandpoint to 'investigate the area for ruins of arcane and historical value' (actually for political reasons).

When is the update for the ranger due out? Cause I would really like to try a Dwarven Ranger for this Path and to test it out... If the ranger is too far away, let another take my place, but it is a long path...

We don't even have a release date for Alpha 3 yet, at least not that I know of. That one will have the bard, ranger, and monk (the only 3 core classes missing from the Alpha 2 document). If I had to guess, I'd say probably in the 3-6 week range, based solely on how long it took for alpha 2 to hit.
As far as the dwarven ranger, I hear ya. Harsk is a pretty cool iconic.
Well, the real dice have spoken. In this instance, the real die in question is a d8 masquerading as a d7, so I suspect it has a treacherous heart.
So, the line-up is as follows:
Timespike
Xdahnx
Arctaris
Erekose13
Mythrildragon
Larcifer
With Wolvenone as an alternate.
The official OOC thread is now up and running.
Wolvenone: I invite you to keep track of the OOC thread and chime in on discussions if the mood takes you.
Larcifer: I figure the ranger class is still about a month away, pending the release of the alpha 3 document. I'm inclined to go with the class as written in the PHB for the time being, rather than attempt to kludge something together, though I will cheerfully snag any previews which make their way onto the forums. So you'll be slightly behind the power curve to begin with, but ought to catch up before we get too far.
Ya That's to be expected but I can handle being behind for the first bit, I still get to use the Dwarf from The Alpha so that is cool, plus when it does hit it will feel like christmass LOL!!
