Hi all, just popping in to say how excited I am to start playing with you.
Ugh the loveable barbarian is done (I think).
Looks like the party composition is
Barbarian
Fighter
Cleric
Sorcerer
Druid
Monk
"Anala Bhatnagar is reporting for duty. I am hoping that my skills may be of assistance upon this journey of discovery."

Just a quick comment, while I was reading characters I noticed Lucious and Savrah both have miscalculations on HP. Should be Max Class HP+ Racial Bonus+Con.
Racial is 6 for both human and elf I think... check the beta.
I didn't catch any other goofs and I'm generally not going over stuff with a fine toothed comb but I just happened across that.
Overall seems like a good party mix.
Ah. The Beta text describes Racial HP as using double class HP as a base before racial. I thought it seemed high.
Lucius should have 13 HP, then: 6 class, 6 racial, 0 con, 1 favored class.

I think you must have misread with the Double entry directly above it.
This is taken straight from the Beta p.14, italics emphasis mine:
Racial: Maximum hit points for 1st level plus your
Constitution modifier and any other bonuses. In addition,
you get a number of bonus hit points based on your race. The
frail races (elf, gnome, and halfling) receive 4 hit points. The
standard races (half-elf and human) receive 6 hit points. The
hardy races (dwarf and half-orc) receive 8 hit points.
Not picking, just pointing it out.
when we kicking this thing off?
Here is the PbP Thread

Flash, does Anala have spells or are the spells on her sheet left over from a 'copy-paste'?
Not yet, I'm just getting ahead of myself. Disregard those until next level... (I'm still debating about Endure Elements. I'm not sure it fits with the concept, but am loathe to suffer penalties from the desert environment.)
Sorry for the confusion! :)
Done!
Sorry i'm a bit late to finish i'll head on over to the PBp and post in a bit!
I did swap Charm Person out for Infernal Healing. Charm Person would probably be more useful, but Infernal Healing is more important to impersonate a cleric.
Charm person will be more impressive once I can combine it with Corrupting Touch, which I can't do till 4th level.
I also swapped Bluff for Appraise. First, Appraise is something we need to ID magic items, and it ties into the Asmodean church's appreciation for wealth. But mostly, I wanted to see if I can play an infernal tempter without actually lying. After all, contracts don't lie. They entrap with the truth.
Also, first post coming up soon, which will put Lucius officially in the game and thus beyond tampering.

Oh that's cool. Don't know why I felt the need to ask you about that other than curiosity. I think a monk with a smattering of arcane spells could be quite fun. I know my old monk would have liked to have mage armor, spider climb, invisibility, etc.
Lucius also takes a -4 because he's an idiot... or rather umm... ;)
Well, the first thing here is that Asmodeans seem the types who will stay 'in uniform' even when that's a bad idea. Especially the ones like Lucius who revere the Lawful aspect more than the Evil aspect.
But the real reason, though, is that I wanted Cleric's Vestments but didn't have the carrying capacity for a second set of clothes, despite them saying right on the label that they aren't clothes for adventuring.
Assuming we make it to the level where I get fire resistence it should cease to be an issue.
To be honest I thought it was a nice touch RP wise. Pretty much everyone else in the party is taking the same penalty since everyone else is likely in armor.
Incidentally, I'm assuming everyone uses Crystal Castle or DM Tools for rolling and gives a link back for results
you Secret Insider Knowledger you...
I know no secrets. Genie binders are discussed in the player's guide, and that's all I was working with.

Well OK then. I must admit that I either haven't read that part yet or my subconcious chose to block it out.
Next time Gadget. Next time. **shakes fist evilly**

Look under 'wizards'.
I'm curious, I would like to try out having the characters do all the rolling with casting. The system would work like this variant rule: Saves
I would also use critical 'hits' for double damage and critical fumbles on spells.
If a caster rolls a 1 or a 20 he makes a CLC versus 10+spell level on success he either avoids the fumble or makes a critical 'hit' and deals double damage or affects twice as many hit dice of creatures, etc.
I am likely buying a critical hit deck so would use the critical hit deck with that rule.
Let me know what you think.
I guess the follow up question is should there be one roll for AoE spells or one per victim.
|
As a spellcaster, I'm happy to try out that rule. I assume it would be only for attack spells - I'd be less interested in doing that every time I cast a cure spell!
As for AoE, I think it should just be one roll. Too many rolls to make and too much bookkeeping for you if we need a roll for everyone affected, IMO.
After making you guys deal with Zelazny casting in my game, I'll cope with whatever rule you like best.
I would tend of the side of rolling for each target, though. It strains my disbelief that everyone under and effect is equally good at dodging.
I am going to be moving next week. My internet is going to be disconnected on Tuesday morning (5/5). My internet at the new place will be connected Sat (5/16) at the earliest. I will have access to internet at various points in between, but I can't make any promises about updating.
So I'm not dead or missing, but I'm going to be a little busy.
Sorry guys, this weekend was busy and I've been playing catch up.
Rob, no problem. I am starting to understand why play by posts go so slow this real life stuff really gets in the way.

lol! I've had games where there's been nothing for a week or more, then all of a sudden I log on and there's 80 bajillion posts in the Thread! I just wish they wouldn't all do that at once though! ;)
Gah!!! I am seriously out of time... I'm sorry guys but if I want to go to Paizocon I have some work deadlines I need to take care of before then and I just can't squeeze in the time for the PbP right now.
So we can either put it on hold for a month or so or someone else can take over DMing, or it is going to have to end.
I'm really sorry about this... all my gaming activities are going to be seriously trimmed back until I get some personal and work related stuff taken care of.
I want to see where this character goes, so I'd like to see the game pick back up when you have more time.
Role call. I'm not quite ready to get this back going but should be putting some new posts up shortly. Do we need to get some new players?
Anala is ready to continue in her endeavours...
The Scion of Hell is ready.
Ugh ready!
I think 3 is enough to get started again, if the others see it and want to join back in that's fine, if they don't then we will look for some new players in a week or two.
Ack.... I can't believe this. I broke my hip over the weekend so suffice to say I am really F*ed up right now. I am exploring new depths of pain and discomfort!!
If you didn't notice: Update is up
