Adding this to the bookmarks, although I'm prone to forgetting OOC discussion threads entirely for weeks at a time. :)
Violant is going to have to talk to Saul about his ideas for what she's going to be doing on a nightly basis. She's pretty darn sure that she can be more effective as an entertainer, using her Perform (dance) skills mixed up with a little magic for spice.
Oh, I can't wait 'til we hit second level... I have an interesting way of introducing Charsis' newfound abilities to the party. ;)Clearly his sorcerous potential 'erupted' from losing his virginity to Zee.
Or not, but that will make a fun story to spread behind his back. :)
Heh, hope it isn't burning hands.

Well you're right in some respects, it does involve Zaranae...

Headed out in an hour.
As circumstances permit, Violant will use up to five more Channel Energy attempts to heal clusters of injured townsfolk, doing her best to get as many injured people in each 'healing burst' as possible, and half-heartedly trying not to get bonked on the noggin by a falling rock herself! After that, she can do a few Cure Light Wounds, and some Heal checks to Stabilize folk, at least, although she'll try to save at least one spell for potential emergencies later in the day.
If it's okay with you, Zoomackulas, she'll use her Perform skill to help the Golden Goblin once it re-opens, since that's her best 'job skill' for this sort of thing.
See y'all later!
I've been out the last 2 weeks with spinal bacterial menangitis. Will post soon if it's ok.
Getting better.

Just to let you all know that I have vacation time coming up soon, as such, from June 25th to about July 6th, I will probably not be able to post. I might have internet access, if that is the case then I will try to find time to post, but that might not be entirely possible.

Have a great and safe time on vacation! I just got back from vacation and feel very refreshed and ready to get back into things here! I will NPC your PC's while you are gone unless you somehow find an internet connection!
Have fun,Zoo
Hey guys, spent the last 2 days driving from New York to Kanasas. My wife's mom is dying. I'll post when I can just to get my mind on something else.

This game has stalled a bit which is my fault. I was thinking things over at work and I am going to recruit a few more players to help us out, new blood so to speak! I also thought this would be a good time since we are so close to the launch of the PFRPG that we could begin to make the switch over to the new rule system. I am excited about the new system and want to use it as soon as possible. The only hitch is that all of you might not be purchasing the new rules, at least not right away so I was wondering everyone's intentions with the PFRPG? The PFRPG PDF is only going to be 10 bucks so this makes things easier on everyone's pocket but everyone has different priorities with their money and I don't want to assume anything! I plan on getting both as I am an Paizo addict and can't live without the new rules, I saw the book at Paizocon and knew I must have it! LOL! So let me know!
Cheers

Rob I'm keen to continue playing as I am really psyched to see what I can do with Charsis further down the track.
I will be getting the PFRPG Rules, but not sure yet how soon after release I will have them. If I end up going the Subscription (which I would love, but disposable cash is a problem) then I'll at least have the .pdf soon after release. If I end up ordering it from my FLGS, then it could be up to a month after release before I can get my hands on it. I am still very interested in the .pdf though (and @ $10 who wouldn't be), so I may still have the .pdf soon after release.
So basically, either way I should at least have the .pdf within a week of it's release, so I'm happy to convert ASAP.
Think I'll be getting the PDF soon after is comes out.
Hey, I know that posting form me has been a little slim as of late, but I have just gotten back from vacation and posting should be as normal now. I am excited to keep going, but am not sure when I will be getting my hands on the new rules. At 10 bucks for the PDF, I have to admit that it is pretty cheap. I will keep you updated on that front.

I'm pretty sure that I've already got the rules pre-ordered, and will definitely be getting it when it's available (but probably not in PDF, unless that comes free with the pre-order. I'm a luddite and PDFs skeer me with their newfangled whipper-snapper-y-ness).
I was kinda hoping that I'd get to make use of my Domain powers before I lost them, 'though! Copycat, from the Trickery Domain, is sexy and I was looking forward to Violant dancing amidst illusory copies of herself both in-combat and for entertainment purposes!
I'm glad that this game isn't dead. I'm kinda digging Violant, and you are making great use of the various freakish events (tidal surge, birds, falling rocks, etc), Zoo!

Excellent, we'll make the switch to PFRPG in Aug. sometime then. Set we can play around with the domain powers when the book comes out so you can keep the ones you were looking foward to using.
Ok next step is to get a few more players but in the mean time I will post in a few to keep the game alive! I'm really glad everyone is still interested!
Cheers
Rob

Ironically, while the Copycat domain power of Trickery is hot, I'm finding the Knowledge domain to not really suit Violant at all. In any sort of August rewrite, I'd like to swap that out for Luck or Charm (both also domains of Calistria, and far more thematically appropriate for her character, now that I've played around and gotten a feel for her).
I was using Knowledge for a Cleric of Nethys in another PbP, and it fits him much better. I probably glommed onto it without thinking about how it suited Violant. An investigative or scholar, she's not...

Sounds good, I have no problem with the changes, should make her more fun to play!

This is a link to the Pathfinder SRD using the Beta and will be, I assume, updated to PFRPG when it comes out! So everyone should be able to easily switch over when the time comes!

I am sorry I have not posted for a couple of days but its bloody hot here in Seattle this week and my apt has been an oven so its been really difficult to sit at my computer and post. Motivation zero! Sleep, I have had only a few hours over the last 3 1/2 days. Brain not functioning! I am going to post tomorrow night because tonight I need some sleep, its cooled down enough where I might get a full night sleep so Thanks for your patience and understanding!
Cheers,
Rob

Rob, just so you know I am a little disallusioned with one aspect of the PFRPG that specifically relates to Charsis's Character Concept.
His Core Concept was to utilise his Claws from the Draconic Sorcerer Class. He gradually improves his use of them as he levels, only falling back on his Earthbreaker if he has to.
I don't mind so much that they nerfed the damage back to 1d4... that I can live with. My beef is with the fact that he can now only use them 3+CHA/day (6 times). The blaster abilities for Bloodlines I can see this with, but the Claws have already gotten their nerf with the reduced damage, I honestly think that they should be able to grow them and never lose them.
I'm not asking you to House Rule on this (although I would be very ecstatic if you did) but just know that as it stands I am very seriously considering scrapping him altogether because of this.
Thoughts please?
(Sorry to rant at you but this is one of two major issues I have between BETA and PFRPG... don't get me started on Humans losing their Bonus Martial Weapon Proficiency, I am considering scrapping 2 more characters because of that one...)

Well it seems the Paizo site has settle down a bit and the messageboards are back so we can get things rolling again!
Hopefully everyone has their copy of PFRPG or the PDF by now and if not the official PRD is up and running with everything we need to switch over to the PFRPG. Now this is going to take a little time I understand, lots of reading to do and such so I am giving us a couple of weeks to make changes and discuss any issues you might have with the new system. Don't hesitate to post your questions or issues here and I will get to them as quick as I can. If you don't feel for some reason posting here then just shoot me an email!
Now I know we started things with the old system and many changes have been made for good or the bad and you all had certain visions on how you wanted your pc's to grow as the game continues which conflict with the new rules. We are all here to have fun so I have no problem house ruling certain issues that come up and I diffinately don't want those issues to become deal breakers for you not wanting to play your pc anymore! So please let me know of any things you have problems with and we can deal with them together to resolve them.
So flash, I have looked over the issues you brought up and have no problem using the beta rules for your claws progression! Hope that fixes things for you!
Ok, Sept. 1 is the goal I have set for myself and this game to be fully converted and moving along smoothly. I plan on my days off coming up to spend the whole time working on the new rules and how they effect the AP, make changes where needed and deal with anything you come up with if any! The game will continue on as normal!
Let me know where your at with things soon!
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. Sorry to rant at you like that but those two things I mentioned really irk me no end. It's been a week since I found out and I'm still not happy about them, so I appreciate your House Ruling that.

Now that we have the new rules (I got my hardcopy and PDF available), what are the creation rules that I should keep to for Berggren Galt?
I think it is 20 point buy still, 2 traits and one campaign trait. Question is starting cash and any bonus hit points. It looks like the rest of the players got 6 bonus HP.

It should only a few minor adjustments to your pc not a full recreation of your pc. If you gain wealth then add it to your amount by that one dies max, if you lose wealth do nothing keep what you already have. The starting wealth is on page 140 and there are some changes but only by a die.

Because I started later and just before the change to PFRPG I hadn't made a full PC yet. I will be doing that now however :-)

Violant is fully converted (has been since I got the book, actually, I just forgot to announce it). I'm okay with the changes to Copycat, but I have noticed that I've been role-playing Violant as more good-aligned than neutral, and am pondering whether I should think about changing her alignment, or starting to role-play her a little less naive and 'nice.'
[Domains changed to Luck and Trickery, dropping Knowledge, as it's completely wrong for her and I have no idea what I was thinking...]
Would this Trait be acceptable?
Minor Magics - You can cast prestidigitation a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier +1 (minimume once) at your character level.
It's got more uses per day than the standard cantrip-granting Trait, but prestidigitation is more of an RP thing than a combat thing and the Sacred Touch Trait already allows use of a touch-range Stabilize effect at will, so I don't think it's out of line.
I am converted.
Fighter should be easy, I'll be done tomorrow.
edit
Actually there isn't anything to do.
I'm almost done writing down my stats. I just have to fine-tune some things still.
