The Valkyrie Chronicles Discussion

[David Fryer]

Okay, this is the discussion board for my pbp, The Valkyrie Chronicles. Start posting guys.

[Moorluck]

Ok so I got a Teifling Rogue in mind.... gonna use a bow as her primary, name of Diveha, will get her made up as soon as I get home from work. David, will you allow the use of the alt modifiers in BoE for her or do I hafta stick to the standard mods?

[David Fryer]

Yeah, you can use the alt mods. A few of the alt powers might get you an xp hole, so ask me before you take them.

[Diviha]

What I had in mind was the Kyton spawn (+2CON/CHA, -2 WIS),and if you allow the special ability of +1hp per level.

EDIT: I'll keep her using a bow, and probably go straight rogue.

[David Fryer]

That will be fine. It was some of the stuff like DR 2 that made me a little nervous.

[Paris Crenshaw]

Okay...after looking over the available info, I'm thinking I might try playing a snow elf (normal elf stats but a member of the distant tribe of "Snowcasters" north of Irrisen). I'm thinking of playing a sorcerer with either the fey or arcane bloodlines and perhaps taking the "fey foundling" feat from page 81 of the Campaign Setting. I kind of like the idea of a fey bloodline/fey foundling sorcerer with either the Magical Knack or Magical Lineage trait. However, an arcane bloodline character with the magical lineage trait would be a good combo, too.

More thinking to do.

[flash_cxxi]

OK, so Rogue and Sorcerer filled so far.

What to play, what to play?

David, would you allow a Suli Race from the Qadira Companion.

I am thinking maybe a Suli-Jann Fighter who has been exiled from his clan and has been travelling to get as far from Qadira as he can.
How does that sound to you?

I don't have the Qadira companion, so you'll have to fill me in on the details before I can make a decision.

No Problem, here they are.

Spoiler:

* +2 Strength +2 Charisma
* Medium Size
* Base Speed 30 feet
* Low-light Vision
* Racial Skills: Suli have a +2 racial bonus to Diplomacy and Sense Motive Checks
* Elemental Assault (Su): Once per day as a swift action, a suli can call on the elemental power lurking in his veins to shroud his arms in acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Unarmed Strikes with his arms or hands (or attacks with weapons held in those hands) deal +1d6 damage of the appropriate energy type, as if using a flaming or frost weapon. This lasts for 1 round per level. The suli can dismiss the elemental power as a free action.
* Acid, cold, electricity,and fire resistance 5
* Automatic Languages: Common, Kelish, any one elemental language (Aquan, Auran, Ignan, or Terran);
Bonus Languages: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, Terran
* CR Adjustment: +0

[David Fryer]

Sure, that sounds like fun.

Cool. :D

So we gots Fighter, Rogue and Sorcerer covered now.
Is Kristin gonna play? She might want to try out the new PF Druid as our Divine Caster?

I'm going to go out on a really thick limb here and guess that Kristin is going to play a druid. Derek never got back to me so it seems like the four of you are it.

Kirk-Tiefling Rogue
Paris-Elf Sorcerer
Craig-Suli Fighter
Kristin-?

[Paris Crenshaw]

Sounds like an interesting group forming. I know that Craig's character isn't from the northern regions, but is there any intent by others to have their characters hail from there?

Also, when the campaign begins will our characters already know each other or will we be roleplaying introductions? I'm fine with either option.

[David Fryer]

Roleplaying introductions. You will have all been invited to perform a task for one of the Linorm Kings.

[Paris Crenshaw]

[David Fryer]

Correct.

[Moorluck]

[Solnes]

Ok I am torn between a cleric of Desna and a druid of Gozreh, focusing on water and weather. Both I have sketchy ideas for. But Yeah, the limb holds, I will be your healing magic. Gimmie a day or two, I will be ready by Sat...
Either way I will play an elf or half elf. Female and young, kinda immature....
Looking forward to this....my first PbP 8D

[Fiani]

Never mind...not torn. Will play a druid...here she is. Fiani (Means Rain Maker...RotW).
Kirk will help me with getting her made with the new rules. And she will be ready this weekend.
Starting Gold David??? A girl likes to shop you know! ;)

[Khismia of the Ashborn]

Greetings everybody.

My name is Khismia and I will be your Fighter for this mission.

[Patrick Curtin]

Just throwing a post up for the dot. I'll keep an eye out as things progress.

[David Fryer]

Use the average gold from the core rulebook. You can use it to buy anything you can afford, including potions and scrolls.

[Fiani]

Uhm, since we can't really do a profile untill ten posts do we post our stats here for you to approve?

[David Fryer]

Sure, although you could also ask Caig how he managed to do a profile before ten posts, cause I'd like to know as well.

[Fiani]

20 points for point buy right?

[David Fryer]

Yes. You would be surprised what you can do with it. Even my power gamers don't complain.

I have no Idea how he managed that! I just tried to go ahead and start her profile and it wouldn't let me! He is a Man of many talents!

Weird. It always lets me create a profile straight away?

I wonder why it won't let you guys do it?

[Vissakiel]

Greetings! I am Vissakiel, known to my Snowcaster brethren as the "Shard-born". I will lend my sorcerous might to support our righteous cause.

The system let me create a profile straight away, as well.

Edit: Not sure how I typed "Shadowcaster" when I meant "Snowcaster". Fixed now.

[Diviha]

*wipes an unrully hair out of her face*

Uhm... hi. So do I tell you about myself here... or.... should I just wait... over in the corner or somthin'

Have you seen the Chain Devil Avatar?

Cute Red Head with a chain ear/nose ring.
Perfect for you methinks O Kyton Spawn... ;)

[David Fryer]

...

[David Fryer]

Well, looks like things are coming together pretty well. I will try and get an introductory post up sometime this weekend. If I can drag myself away from the Demolition Derby long enough to do it that is.

Take your time...I will be completely finished with her stats and all Sunday.

Uhm...enjoy the demolition?!

Cool! Made my first post. I'm still finishing up my character. Background stuff is posted via spoiler. Feel free to correct me on anything that doesn't work for your concept.

I'll finish up skills and possessions soon.

[David Fryer]

Great start guys, I haven't had to do hardly anything. I'm a believer that as long as the players are roleplaying, I'll usually let things riff on their own.

[David Fryer]

Although I'm going to be moving things along soon.

Okay guys, give me some feedback. What do you think of the game so far? What do you like? What would you improve? I'd really love to here what you think.

I had a nice long post, but it got eaten, so here's the summary.

The game is great so far. Our group is more active and interactive than any PbP group I've ever been part of. It's nice that we're keeping things going ourselves.

Meanwhile, David, your posts do a good job of guiding, filling in holes, and keeping us moving without rushing us. I'm able to get a good sense of what's happening from your descriptions so far.

I don't have anything to suggest in the way of improvements, but I hope the opportunity to make suggestions will still be open as time goes on.

I'm looking forward to more of the game. Let the good times roll!

[Diviha]

I think the druid has lost intrest, with her current school schedule she seems to have moved on, but I am still here and will be posting at least once a week, I'll try and post more often but I forget sometimes.:P

Oh, is Diviha too flirty, or just flirty enough? ;)

[Paris Crenshaw]

I'm fine with your portrayal of Diviha. I'm also trying to keep Vissakiel's elven nature in mind without going overboard. I don't want him to be a one-dimensional character.

Sorry to hear Fiani won't be with us. I hope the school workload isn't excessive.
