Welcome players to the discussion thread. Post any character creation and OOC comments here.
WOW THAT WAS FAST
Okay I will accept 6 players since it is magic heavy.
David Fryer half elf cleric
Memento Mori elf wizard
Young Arbiter half orc barbarian
Jason Beardsley gnome sorcerer
hopeless half elf ranger
aebliss half orc sorcerer
okay 7 BUT WE ARE FULL
Aaron Whitely elf/human? rouge
This will give us a goup round ammount of character types.
Off to work now so I will not be able to comment on character questions until after midnight my time. Go ahead and work on the characters and post any questions here an I will answere them later.
Dirdelle, Cleric of Callistra is ready for action
Edit: Okay, so really all I have is a name, but it's a start.
Awesome. Thanks for letting me play. I think that I am going to go with the elf rogue and I will hopefully have him up and ready tonight.

Aebliss: Here's the beta, just add to your cart, check out, and you're good to go.. it's free after all.. ;)
This Shall be the Elven Wizard,
i'll finish her up later
Just to be certain, since I can't seem to find the rules in my download of the Beta Playtest right now - how I wish I'd been able to buy the printed version -
1) Do you still get your allotted number of skill points + Intelligence modifier x 4 at 1st level?
No its x1 I made that mistake the first time I designed a character!
yes.Now for my question;
1)Favoured classes: do we get to add +1 hp or +1 skill point if we take a level in our character's favoured class?
And
2) any other rules we ought to know about?
Oh right and introducing Rhade the Guide hopefully ready for action!
Alright, I've worked my character out. I wish this forum had a pm option so I could send the DM the link to the character sheet ...
Have you tried putting it in your profile?
Its really handy and you can create new profiles for each character just check out the My Account bit when you check the profile linked to your name.
Alright, Baran is about 1/2 finished. I decided to go with the elf route instead of human.
Question: how are we calculating hitpoints?
Alright, here's the half-Orc Sorceress I designed for the game. Read 'em and weep. ^^;
Just discovered all the details I did in creating my character has been entirely deleted!
Will put them up again tomorrow if thats not too much trouble?
OK. Baran is done except for his background which I am formulating as we speak. Right now the basic idea is that he is a bounty hunter come to the area looking to capture Bruthazmus and collect his bounty.
Question: what experience point progression are we using?
Is it alright if I import a feat from the 3.5 Complete Warrior book? I am thinking specifically of Improved Toughness; a caster can't eke out too many HP, after all.
I would prefer to keep things just to the Pathfinder beta and any web enhancements they have made availible for down load. Thanks
Alright, I've worked my character out. I wish this forum had a pm option so I could send the DM the link to the character sheet ...
I have found that using the alias profiles make a great way to display character sheets. It takes a bit of work but it makes it very easy to check on things for both DM and Player. Here is an example from one of my characters. Copy and paste it into the about section of your profile for the character and then make the necessary changes.
I've put a link in my character profile's home page that leads to a char sheet. Will that be satisfactory as well?
Now for my question;1)Favoured classes: do we get to add +1 hp or +1 skill point if we take a level in our character's favoured class?
And
2) any other rules we ought to know about?
Oh right and introducing Rhade the Guide hopefully ready for action!
1) I am under the impression that it is the players choice and they can change it at each level. You get one or the other as an added bonus for going up in your favored class.
2) The only thing that comes to mind here is starting HP. I like using the racial option from the side bar on page 14 of the beta. Max 1st level + con bonus + a no. of hp based on racial type. For levels 2 and 3 roll like normal.
Alright, Baran is about 1/2 finished. I decided to go with the elf route instead of human.
Question: how are we calculating hitpoints?
See my earlier post for HP
I have a question about the pricing of your Composite Bow. If its supposed to be magical it would cost 8000 way out of your price range.
OK. Baran is done except for his background which I am formulating as we speak. Right now the basic idea is that he is a bounty hunter come to the area looking to capture Bruthazmus and collect his bounty.
Question: what experience point progression are we using?
FAST since this is on the web and PBP's tend to go slow. Everyone should have 3300 XP to start. I will give encounter xp and I love to reward good Roleplay with bonus xp.
I've put a link in my character profile's home page that leads to a char sheet. Will that be satisfactory as well?
That works. Could you use the BBCode tag for a url in your about section so I can link to it quickly?
Done and done. ^^
Okay time for a quick summation of the party
David Fryer as Dirdelle the half-elf cleric. Details coming.
Memento Mori as Catalina the elven wizard. Details coming.
Hopeless as Rhade the half-elf ranger. Details coming.
Aaron Whitley as Baran Caranthir the elven rogue. Just waiting on Background.
Aebliss as Ree Luskan the half-orc sorcerer. DONE
That just leaves
Jason Beardsley and Young Arbiter to create characters. A gnomish sorcerer and another half-orc barbarian. Once we have these and backgrounds will get started on the adventure thread.
With this many players it would help if some of you already knew each other either by background or recent adventuring (ie levels 1-3). I dont need everyone to have a connection to everyone else but if I had a few "groups" with in the party to start it would be eaiser for me. Plus I think it could create some nice role play opportunities.
Done and done. ^^
Thanks.
I think your math is off on your skills. With the beta you can only put one rank per level in each skill because you get a one time +3 to any class skill that has a rank in it. See page 52 of the beta rules. You have too many ranks in Know arcana and spell craft and don't have any of the +3 modiffiers for ranked class skills. Cross class skill dont cost extra anymore they just dont get the +3 bonus when you put ranks in them. Any skills with at least one rank are considered trianed skills. Some skills can only be used if you are trained while others can be used with out any ranks in them at all.
I've started my character.. got home later than i wanted last night..

Thanks for the update on the HP, I've rolled them accordingly and updated my sheet with them.
As for the bow it is not magical. Just a composite longbow with a strength rating of +2 (see description of composite longbow on page 105 if you want to check). Is there a particular way you would like me to represent that on my character sheet? Just let me know and I would be happy to update it.

Im a mythrial idiot. I figured that it what you wanted but I could'nt figure out the priceing. I read that last night and missed the cost adjustment in the last line. Your good. That qualifies as a rare or exotic item that you can speind the 2700 gp for magic gear on.
Dirdelle is finally ready to go. However, she ended up taking a detour and became something entirely different then my original idea. She is now a multiclassed cleric/rouge with Cayden Cailean as her patron.
Done and done. ^^Thanks.

Oh, right! Thanks for the warning; I've edited to match these specifications.

Looks good. She can have a job working at the Rusty Dragon and be renting a room in Sandpoint.

I was thinking the reason your in Sandpoint is to visit the Curious Goblin bookstore. Are you new to town or have you been here a few days trying to save up the money for a particular text?
Just discovered all the details I did in creating my character has been entirely deleted!
Will put them up again tomorrow if thats not too much trouble?
Hey Hopeless. I was wondering if you were interested in having Rhade be Baran's friend and partner in bounty hunting. The Ranger/Rogue duo would probably make for a good bounty hunter team and the Half-elf/Elf racial mix would mean we would likely get along. We could be familiar with the city of Magnamar and its vicinity due to our previous jobs and in Sandpoint in particular with hopes of meeting Shalelu and getting leads on Bruthazmus and Otik Vancaerskin. Let me know what you think.

Sounds fine, Rhade is more or less a guide by profession who takes missions according to need so teaming up would make sense.
By the way who's Bruthazmus?

I think that would be a good grouping to start the game. Bruthazmus has been plaugeing the country side and I could easily work some stuff about him into the game. Im altering the timeline of the orginal AP with the idea that there isn't a plot existing to ruin Sandpoint from Thisletop so Orik is probably still runing around Riddlepoint outside your radar so to speak.

The masterwork items are fine.
Bruthazmus is a bugbear from the northern Nettlewood with a particular hatered for all things elvish. His reputation as a banidt is well known around the Sandpoint area but none have been able to stop him yet.

Seeing as I, personally, know nothing of Sandpoint, I'm relieved such a good explanation exists for Ree's presence. Let's say Ree is new in town, and looking for a quick job so she can go visit the Curious Goblin and perhaps take a few things with her.
Sorry for taking so long.. Making characters usually doesnt take me this long.. need to allocate skill points, select spells, buy gear.. the basics of my character are there though..

Take your time and build the character you want.

I have to fight with the water company to get my water turned back on after they mistakenly turned me off. I live in an apartment building, and one of the tenants moved out today, had everything scheduled to be turned off today, and the water guy, instead of looking at his paperwork, looked up at the windows, noticed her lights were on, and mine were off. So.. yeah.. I'll try to get it done tomorrow...
Okay time for a quick summation of the party
David Fryer as Dirdelle the half-elf cleric. DONE
Memento Mori as Catalina the elven wizard. {waiting on character}
Hopeless as Rhade the half-elf ranger. DONE
Aaron Whitley as Baran Caranthir the elven rogue. {waiting on background)
Aebliss as Ree Luskan the half-orc sorcerer. DONE
Jason Beardsley as Halungalom the gnome sorcerer. {waiting on character}
Young Arbiter as ???? a half-orc barbarian. {waiting on character}
Baran's background is up and done. I'll probably take some time to polish it a little (mostly clean up the writing in hopes of making it a little easier to read) it shouldn't change much. Right now I am going with the assumption that Baran has been working with Rhade for a few years now and has gotten to know Dirdelle while spending time at the Rusty Dragon waiting for Shalelu to get back in town. As people finish their characters up I may add a hook or two for them in but I'll have to wait and see.

Might be worth adding that Baran is the one who normally does the talking whilst Rhade is the quiet type who stays in the background it sounds as though thats more the case from what you've mentioned.

Have't seen anything from Memento Mori or Young Arbiter since the opening posts. I hope we havent lost them already. We have one alternate interested in playing if that is that case though.
I got everything but gear.. can't seem to find how much you said we start at. Was it different than the 3,000gp as table 12-4 in PRPG?
Regular gear is 1.5X max first level to represent all equipment and left over treasure from earlier adventures. It's okay to make the remaning not spent on gear into gems, artworks, jewlery ect if you'd like.
Magical exotic gear is 2700gp value. This includes masterwork armors weapons or unusal items like cold iron stuff ect. Anything not spent of this is lost.
