They are working, honestly.

That's not a ridiculous idea at all Rob. Like it much better and I can work it into Tzuchaleny's rather idealistic personality.
Want to go for it?
If you want to, sure! Keiva's from way up north in the Harrowdeep, quite new to the city, and is quite sickly (8 Con), sop she could use the protection. I’ve just written up her background, and she's in Khorl searching for an akashic node or witching site or old ruin in the goblin-infested areas, and could have contracted you as a bodyguard (of course, she believes the god of Khorl has brought the two of you together!)
Keiva’s very scholarly, but she can't control her magic very well and would probably think having a bodyguard whilst exploring ancient ruins the intelligent thing to do.
What do you think?
Not so orange. I can see them. Sort of. There is some difference, just not as much as you'd expect.
Nothing like an ambiguous result! I can't see any difference at all. I convinced myself I could, then checked the tags and found I had it backwards.
On the game front, I had happily assumed full gold. I rolled 90 gp and had to make deep cuts. Studded Jack, Pendrick is such a thug!

Has anyone played the adventure Fine Print (from the Diamond Throne site)?
Hate to be the party pooper here, but yeah, that's the starting adventure I like to use when running AU. :(
It's a good one though, so I can really try to keep my player knowledge separate from my character knowledge (and it's been a couple of years since I last read it).

Sounds like a quite natural pairing in a way, since they both have reasons to admire each other. How about this? Tzu meets Keiva in a library, when she's there hunting down more Litorian factoids. They share an interest in the ruins, which brings them closer, interest becomes liking and Keiva's scholarly tendencies are a huge help to Tzu who's always on the lookout for a cause.
Tzu is newly Oathbound, and sees in keeping Keiva safe a way to maybe save more than just the life of one weak girl. It's also the preservation of knowledge. The friendship with Pendrick can come about quite naturally if they are sparring partners. Reflexes have to honed every day, whatever weapon you use.
Something along those lines maybe?
Now, back to the horrendous (to me) task of statting her up so we can all go and play.
Keiva should be all done now (beyond tying her more closely to Tzuchaleny, if needed). Added her background (which also explains some of her abilities), changed a couple of skills around to match her background, and got rid of some equipment once I rolled for money.
Sounds good Rosey - and Keiva speaks Litorian now too!
Check me over please someone :D My brain is dissolving.
I guarantee this will be wrong in a large number of ways. Sorry to be such a klutz.
Tzu
Is everyone set?
Tzu - You still need a feat.
Think I'm done. Please confirm if you'd be so kind?
Tzu - I still see no feat, sorry.
Under "Feats". Two of them right there. Light Sleeper (Talent) - Make Listen checks while asleep as if awake. Fleet of Foot (Ceremonial) - +10 to base ground speed.
Are you prepared to allow us a Truename?
Sometimes I think these boards hate me.
There they are indeed! Weird.
Haven't got the rulebook with me, but I believe that you have a Truename by default, unless you choose to be Unbound.
That seems to be the case. Just been rootling.
Now to pick a suitable Truename. Just to satisfy my own OCD tendencies you understand.

After a couple months of making Pathfinder characters, it was actually kind of hard to wrap my head back around 4x skill points at 1st level and stuff!
Considering that you've got Perception and Craft (alchemy) listed in your skills, I'd say you're still having trouble wrapping your head around 3.x skills. ;)
Split it up into Listen, Search, and Spot like the rest of us!Also, you get 4 extra languages from your Int. (And you're as smart of Keiva!) And I believe you should be able to ready 4 1st-level spells instead of 3.

Tzu gets an extra language from Intelligence too! Might I humbly suggest Faen? It's what all the cool kids are speaking these days...
But from what I see, Tzu's Int is 12, which gives her +1 skill point instead of +2, for only 20 skill points at 1st level.
And Fort save should be +4.
Well, you should know Keiva, you taught me to speak it.
I'm with Kruelaid on this one; you guys are better at spotting errors on each other's sheets than I am! Also, this is my first time out running AE/AU so the more knowledgeable amongst you, feel free to chime in if my rulings get iffy.
Rob - if you can separate player/character knowledge, that would be dandy.
Fort save changed: must have been wishful thinking?
What are these 'spot', 'search', and 'listen' skills of which you speak? A true Warmain exists within an impenetrable sensory bubble!
If a Ceremonial Feat provides an extra 10' of movement, maybe it should be called 'Ceremonial Feet' :0
Ceremonial feet with tassels on them. I like it.
So, we're looking mostly set. Guess I better write that intro...

Sorted the skills. Dumped Concentration. Think the Fort is right though isn't it? Str 16, giving +3 and Oathsworn get a +2 to F/R/W.
Language updated.

Yeesh, he's polylingual as all get out! Thanks for the spot-check!

Oh, hawtness, you get bonus spells readied *and* spell slots from a high Int (or Wis/Cha, depending on class) score! That I did not notice!
Remember, it's only Con that adds to Fort in 3.x , not Str as in 4E.
Balls. Amended.
How about this one? Haven't seen it before.
Before we start the actual game, could one of you veterans of PbP suggest a favourite PbP thread for me to read through? I'd like to get a sense of what is expected of me as a player. When I 'drop the ball', I hope you'll let me know it!
Try one of Fabes's - since it's his game.
or
Rob runs Iskandria
I run two as well, but those are enough to be going on with I suspect.
Third person, present tense for posting please:
i.e. Seram Zal looks around for someone to fight
NOT I looked around for someone to fight.
Italics are a character's thought's
Please don't write other PC's reactions to what your unique and beautiful snowflake does ;) Let them decide how they react.
the ooc brackets are for rules questions, and banter.
Pendrick looks around for the ooc brackets.
"Brackets eh?" he muses half under his breath.
"OC Brackets, vo brackets, cccp brackets...dang it, I give up. First no toast for the Lord Mayor, now this"!
- Draws sword, looks for something to charge.
[ ooc ] [ /ooc ] (without the spaces)
Thanks, surprised I didn't know that already, what with my newfound mastery of tags :/
Can you tell I'm gettn' antsy?
Thanks for the links Rosy.
I'm also reading through the sticky stuff at the top of pbp.
It took me about a month to work out how to do . Relax. Nobody bites. Well, Tzu does a bit, but only because it's her job to bite things. You and Pendrick will both be just fine.
