To my fellow players

Spoiler:
We haven't really decided on the name of the group. Any thoughts?


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Ok, I'm good to go.

Lazaro

Spoiler:
Did you see my email about templates?


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

No idea about a group name... but we should have one.
Maybe base it out of the city/country we live in?
(I don't know where that is though...)
Do we have any trophies of out adventures?
Do we have a place to hang out and call 'home'?


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Checked link...
Eternal Hero for me. :D

Tarlan

Spoiler:

I can see having one, but not both. Makes it easier on me as new DM too.

I own the Tome of Magic so I'm familiar with the Dark template. Where is the Amphibious template from?


M Human Paladin 20

Updated Jahangir with the funds I missed. Ready to roll.

I don't have any ideas for a party's name (though we can always name it after that party member that was killed by the kobold shaman way back in lvl 1). A safehouse or some base would probably be a good idea though I'm not sure what that would be (I'm supposing by lvl 20 we've finally moved out of the tavern). Didn't really leave any $ for castles and stuff. Maybe we have helpful allies willing to risk the wrath of demons, illithid overlords, that kobold shaman and whoever else we've pissed off over the years.

I've done most of the early gruntwork. I'll probably have Fragos up and running by tomorrow afternoon.

Just a quick question - the Ordained Champion can spontaneously cast spells from the War domain rather than s[pontaneously heal. As there is no War spell list in PFRPG, how do we handle this? I was going to get the Spontaneous Healing feat to cover up, but the easiest thing might just be to drop the spontaneous warcasting thing.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

I agree the best thing to do would be to dropping spontaneous war casting.

As for getting this thing in gear. I should have the game thread up by the afternoon. Evening by the most. This holiday weekend, and the fact the maps have been tormenting me didn't help.


For Lazaro

"Oi, fellow party mates! Who's turn is it to take first watch?!"

"Mind you, I need my beauty sleep... and so does Fragos."

It's from Stromwrack. But no worries... I'll take the dark template.

Spoiler:
Works out kind of with the trip to the Shadow plane and all that too...

I'll have it added by tonight.
Spoiler:
Unless I have time at work to get it done... ;]

off tpoic: I really like the Tome of Magic. The Shadowcaster needs some help along with the Truenamer but the flavor of all 3 classes is great.


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Ok... that was quick. ;)
I'm done.

Here's a bit about how I envision my role.
I'm a scout that packs a punch with his amazing 'kung-fu'. I see myself as a 2nd row warrior helping out the guy out front when the melee hits the fan.

So Avengers of Bartleby, Bartleby's Avengers? Bartelby's Revenge? Hand of Bartleby's Vengeance? Bartleby's Wrathful Smiters? Bartelby's Band? Bartelby and the Hot Rollers? Maybe a name other than Bartleby?

Bartleby's Scriveners?

Hey, somebody had to say it.

To chime in re roles, well Jahangir is definitely more a melee type though still handy with the bow. Re the paladin thing, he's a little different than your typical European paladin, Arabic/Moghul flavour driven to perfect his martial prowress through combat meditative practice. Honour and reputation pretty big concerns. Devoutly religious but feels faith is a personal matter (though may still lapse and refer to other religions as heathen or infidel not truly intending offense).

True indeed.

For whatever reason Bartelby is the default name for any NPC bard in my campaign so that's why the name popped up. (I mean the bard is the most likely to get himself offed)

More on roles: once I get done statting up Fragos, he'll be a pretty verstatile guy - as a Cleric 15/Ordained Champion of Heironeous 5, he'll have a +16 BAB, tons of hit points and lots and lots of armour. He'll be a good melee guy - and his CL is 18!


Male Half-Orc Fighter 8

Well, we certainly have a lot of people in this group that are good at melee. If you hadn't guessed, my role is mostly "Run up, Hit, Repeat". Luckily, with this +12 Strength bonus, I'm pretty good at it.

Also, as to the group name, we could always call ourselves The Avengers of The Wandering Minstrel, assuming we don't want Bartleby in the name. Also assuming Bartleby was a bard.

Scarab Sages

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

What about The Minstrel's Friends.
The vengeful just rubs me a bit wrong. I'm thinking were heroes not killers. (IMO)

You have a point.

EDIT: More possibilities
Friends of The Wandering Minstrel Yes, I just combined mine and fray's suggestions.

Sargent Barty's Lonely Gold Club Band Yes, a mediocre joke that has been done before.

One more vote from me for Friends of the wandering minstrel.


Male 1/2 Orc(Outsider) Monk 20

One names as good as another..in a hundred years most people will have forgotten us and the ones who don't will tell stories that bear no relation to what we did? So you call this group what you like


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Well, I plan on being around then to make sure everyone gets the story straight... :)

Shadow Lodge

years into the future...An elderly "man" sits in his chair telling children the 'real story' of the Friends of the Wandering Minstrel

*Should be ready soon. I'm sure you're all ready to stop seeing me say that.


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

See! The oracle even confirms it! We'll be famous! Also, I live! Yay me!

No worries mate

GAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!

I had the character almost finished - and then the messageboard monster shut it down. I'm too depressed right now - I'll try again in a couple of hours.


Friends of the Wandering Minstrel...

You guys taking ranks in Profession (boy band)?


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Raizen, you're the lead signer.
I'll be drummer.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

Gah, I feel like the gods are conspiring against me. First I could login to the boards. Than my mom, since we have to share a computer, had trouble tickets to take care of. And last, but certainly no least my side hurt so much I took enough Aleve to pass out.

But that's fine. It's cool. We'll start off in a different way than I planned. If you're character is ready go ahead and give a quick 'Aye'.

I will have the game thread up here in a moment.


Male Human Cleric 16/ Ordained Champion of Heironeous 5

I'm essentially ready. A basic character sheet's up - I need to choose spells and write down my domain powers; I also have 23000 unspent gold.

So, "aye!"


Male Changeling Fighter 4 / Ranger 1 / Warshaper 4 / Swordsage 12

Aye.

Shadow Lodge

Male Human

And the thread is up.

I hope this all goes well. I started to panick as I typed. Damn you nerves!!!

Scarab Sages

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

My internet is slow and choppy right now...
I'm trying to do stuff but keep getting time out errors.
I will keep trying though...

Also did a quick swap of my Swashbuckler level to Ranger (character went is a different direction from the need for the Swashbuckler.)

Scarab Sages

M carbon based dice form graphic guy 10 / geek 5 / collector 6 / daddy 2 / GM 4

Regarding my new shadow "look".
I'm thinking that my native form would have the new look but my shape change ability would take effect when not in native shape.
Does that sound right?

That is right. While your true form does show signs of 'taint', your change shape ability does not. Unless you want it too.

Cool... I just wanted to make sure we could communicate. (In something else besides common.)

Grand Lodge

Male Human Expert 5

My character's done. If anyone wants me to adjust the spell selection, let me know - I went with the straight PFRPG list.

Kelgan - shouldn't your damage bonus be +23 (+18 STR and +5 magic)?
