Yeah after I read it more I agree I will keep it the way it is.
Had to swap the Osirion Khopesh for a Falcata.
Made that decision really late at night, I even took exotic: osirion khopesh, which is a martial weapon...
oops.
Hey Pavo, just thought of a fun trick, buy a spellbook, but make it have tear-out scrolls in it, so it's actually a scroll book...then if you ever get captured, they take away the "wizard's" spellbook...leaving you with your full complement of spells when you rest...heh.That's actually an awesome idea. Might just have to use that myself sometime. :)
That IS awesome!! Marrala, I will use that idea if you don't mind. And Malvoisin, the sheet should be done, I changed the Perception and Sense Motive to reflect Alertness granted from Familiar. I also fixed the other errors so Pavo should be ready to go. I decided to stay with a full compliment of spell components. I figure since Pavo will have a "spellbook" then he will also mimic the components used, though in reality, he doesn't need to. I figure if he couldn't get into the Acadamae, then he will at least pretend he did. ;)

So Sorin's Climb skill total should be +6 then, right? ;)

Gah! And here I was wondering why I couldn't find the khopesh under the exotic weapons listing. Totally missed that too.
*embarrassed*
Xaaon, I have noted Marra's switch to the falcata and her updated equipment list. Everything looks good.
I did want to point out that there is still one mention of her carrying a khopesh under her list of combat gear.
dathom,
Thanks for fixing up Pavo's skill numbers. I forgot about the Alertness bonus from the familiar, so that was my bad. I still see one discrepancy, and that's his Perception. I think it should be +0 (+2 with Alistar nearby), not +1/+3.
Other than that, I believe Pavo is ready to roll.
Nasserath,
I went over Dorran and I have a few comments to make...
1. Short sword damage should be 1d6+1 since it is used in his off-hand
2. The AC lists a shield, but I don't think he has one.
3. You have a section for Action Points, but we won't be using those (this campaign has something similar built in to it, but we'll get to that later, in the midst of the game)
4. If you wouldn't mind, could you create a section for your selected traits and their effects?
So, there are a few issues, but overall, a nice job. Please have a look and let me know what you think.
Wells since I get a +2 to Fly I will have to save up for a cloak of the bat or something.
Ready when ever you are.

Awesome! We've got three characters essentially finished (Sorin included), and one more (Dorran) very close to done. So, we just need robin to get Clandru worked out (this weekend he said) and we'll have the PCs ready to roll.
As I said earlier, I might go ahead and get the game started prior to Clandru's sheet approval, because I'm excited about getting started. Maybe even tomorrow.
Yeah, Marra can sleep a long time after that bath, but not that long...
I need to figure out which inn she's been staying at.
I have been going over the backgrounds of the characters, Dorran, Marra, and Sorin, all have overlapping timeframes with Gaedren Lamb.
Sorin your background said several years, so if you were there longer than 4 years, I can adjust the timeline.

Marra (16)

Sorin was about 12 when he left in my mind. I think it would be good it the characters at least remember each other. Maybe about the time Sorin was charted out for dead was when Marra decide to start protecting the others. Maybe Dorran in a drug induced state conflicted with one of the others or Sorin escaped with him once but the drug was too much and that is how Lamm found him in the Shingles. That sort of thing. I like the idea them at least recognizing each other. What is the time line on the missing sister would aleast Marra know her before she left?
You could even go as far as making Pavo's sister Marra's love interest but that is up to the both of you.
I was looking at making that connection, but his sister's only been gone a couple of months, and Marra left 2 years ago. And she's already dead, dunno if Pavo wants to find a living or dead sister, a living sister would actually make a happy ending...at least one soul might be redeemed.
Haha, that would work if we want everyone to despise Gaedren. As is, Pavo just wantes to find out what happened to his sister. If his sister ended up dead by Lamm's hands, and Pavo found out about it, than the gloves come of and Gaedren will be having the worse day of his life when they meet. But I don't know if the time difference would match. as is, Pavo's sister has only been gone for around 5 months to 1 year. Just long enough for Pavo to take matters into his own hands, but not so long that he would start giving up.
This is gonna be the most cohesive group ever I think, they actually have a reason to be together, and most screwed up in the mind group at the same time...
Let's just leave Calliope and Pavo's sister as different people...
I figured Calliope had been there for several years already 2-3 at least, and either she was slightly older or slightly younger than Marra, hadn't figured that out yet.
EDIT: oh and the rest of us despise him already...Marra is gonna cut off his... OO
I like the way you guys are working to bring the party back stories together in a cohesive timeline. Keep up the good work! :)
ok fix the sheet... so we good to go... lol still need to read everyones backstory. but im all for having known you guys in the time
Edit: are we allowed the traits from the second darkness guide? if so might add to or change parts of my backstory
I was looking back over your timeline, Xaaon and your off with Dorran by a hair. He arrived was involved with gaedren at age 10 and left at age 15.

Dorran I added you into my background, read it and tell me what you think and it you want any changes or to even be in Sorins past.
Nasserath,
Okay, Dorran's sheet looks quite good now. I do think his flat-footed AC should be 13 though.
As for the traits, I wanted each character to choose 1 Background Trait (from the CotCT Player's Guide), and one Basic Trait. Dorran still needs the basic trait. These can indeed be taken from the Second Darkness player's guide if you have that, or there is a free PDF download here on the site (check under 'My Downloads'). So, please pick one of those, and then that should be it.
All,
Since we have 4 of 5 PCs essentially done, I want to get the IC thread rolling asap. I'd like to get it started today, but unfortunately, the menace of real life has piled a lot of stuff on my plate which must get done. I'm going to try, though. If I can't get it started today, it will be up this weekend, for sure.
:D
Over the weekend I'm going to be doing some freelance drafting so I might not get to post a lot, but I will be posting.
Ok, I made the fix to Pavo's skills so Pavo Alazario "The Wizard" is ready ;)
What do you know, I found some time today after all! The game is now live, and I hope you enjoy.
I wrote up a separate vignette for each character to start, which was fun. I did take some liberties in some cases, for the sake of keeping things interesting. I hope there's nothing that seems out of character for how you envisioned your PC. I did my best to keep everything consistent with the personalities and backgrounds you described. In any case, it's not something I'll make a habit of.
sorin read and loved the backstory i altered mine as well to fit yours hope you like if you read.... and Malvoisin added the second trait and fix flatfooted

I like it, should be interesting to have them meet again.
First draft for Clandru
Equipement and feats not yet done but it should allow us to begin !
Hey guys,
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday. I tried to get onto the site yesterday morning, but the thing was moving so slowly, I gave up.
Today seems much better. I'll have a new post up in a little while.
Clandru is all done , you can check him
Clandru is all done , you can check him
Great, thanks robin. I will check him over tomorrow.
robin,
Okay, I went over Clandru now, and here's what I see...
1. FORT save should be +4, due to Resilient trait.
2. He can know one more bonus language, due to his INT of 16
3. Heal total should be +3 (no ranks spent in Heal, so he doesn't get the extra +3 for favored)
4. You have a spot for Linguistics skill on his sheet, but that can't be used untrained.
5. Spells per day should be 3x 0-level, and 2x 1st level
I think that's it. Let me know what you think.
robin, I appreciate the fact that you're role-playing your character as true to his alignment and deity.
However, I do hope that you'll allow Clandru to be persuaded to go along with the others in their pursuit of Gaedren Lamm...if even with the intent to dissuade them from carrying out 'mob justice' on the villain.
Otherwise, he might get very bored. ;)
EDIT: By the way, you still haven't replied to my comments on Clandru's character sheet (above). Just sayin'...
I did count the +1 Resilient but with 10 con I only have the class bonus to start with .
Otherwise the character has been changed.
Harrow Points
As stated in the IC thread, each PC now has 3 Harrow Points to use during 'Edge of Anarchy.' During this adventure, a character can spend his Harrow Points in the following ways:
Dexterity Rerolls: Spend a Harrow Point to reroll any one Initiative check, Reflex save, attack roll modified by Dexterity, or Dexterity-based skill check. You must abide by the new result (although if you have additional Harrow Points remaining, you can use them to attempt additional rerolls).
Dodge Bonus: Spend a Harrow Point to gain a +1 Dodge bonus to your Armor Class for one encounter. You can spend up to 3 Harrow Points per encounter to increase your Armor Class in this manner.
Speed Increase: Spend a Harrow Point to increase your base speed by 10 feet for one encounter—you cannot spend multiple Harrow Points to increase your speed multiple times in one encounter.
Also, be aware that there are specific encounters, tied to the card drawn during 'The Choosing' portion of the harrowing, that will confer specific DEX bonuses to a particular PC. When that becomes relevant, I will let you know.
Just to let everyone know I am not trying to 'take charge' in the planning but out of the 5-6 Pbp's I have been in, planning is where they seem to stall and die. There seems to be a lot of 'should we do this or this' back and forth and it can really drag on. I am just trying to keep things moving :) If anyone has some idea's just jump in.

I absolutely endorse this. Dreamweaver is absolutely right, PBPs just cannot survive indecisiveness. They must keep moving forward, or they die.
If everyone is OK with is we could just make the day time scouting one post from the DM of the description of the daily events and then start right back with it at night.

Guys, sorry for the lack of post today. I have been traveling most of the weekend, but I'll get back in the groove tomorrow.
Something like Sorin posted here is pretty much what I'm planning to do. See ya tomorrow.
Hey guys, our first combat!
Please go ahead and post your combat actions in any order, and then I will arrange and integrate them afterwards in initiative order. To wait for each person to post in order is far too slow.
If you want to, it would always be helpful to post alternative actions or contingencies, especially if you're further down in the initiative order. I'll interpret your character's intent if need be, and resolve actions in order to keep the action moving. Don't worry, I'll always have your character do something conservative if I need to step in.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Hey guys, as you can see I've created a new GM alias to run this game, along with a 'harrowing' new avatar to go with!
I'll be slowly updating this profile over time with information and reference about the game, so it should be a handy reference tool for us.
Thanks!
Marrala , I`ve got no problem with the way our roleplaying clash but I`m a bit surprised at your alignment there .
No offense but you don``t sound like a LN there but more like Dirty Harry .
She'll chill out once Gaedren is dead...right now, the LN is based on justice...and in her eyes there's only one way to instill justice. She is Judge jury and executioner as far as he's concerned...as per the alignment interpretation in the PFRPG...not strictly "LAW" as an edict...it can be a personal code as well...
I play it that if the party has readied actions, such and the ranger having his bow drawn, then they get those readied actions prior to the initiative. We had already encountered one spider, and at least I was expecting more...
Hi guys! I'm traveling today, and short of time. I'll post IC tomorrow. Thanks!
Hi all,
Real Life kicked my butt something fierce today, so I didn't have time to post. We'll move forward tomorrow morning. Thanks!
