What languages spoken in Hohenbaurg?

Hohenbaurg is divided by social class. There are "hohens" - high ones, or nobles, and "baurgs", or citizens. Power is more or less evenly divided. There is high language and common language, although even nobles reserve high language for official stuff.


I've got this much down, I'll add his full background later. I agonize between boosting my poison dc and attack rolls too much. Going with poison. Later I'll agonize between ranged and twf. Oh, and hp.
8 + 3d8 + 1d10 ⇒ 8 + (3, 8, 8) + (9) = 36

You need to chose specific god or goddess. You can chose any divinity from any world.


M pixie Enchanter/ cleric 1

mightflier,
do i need to have a diety? i think in pathfinder i dont have to, but if you say i need one then i am happy to find one.
do you have any suggestions, i dont think i will easily find a diety who has healing and trickery but if i have to i can always drop healing and go with a trickester diety

You do have to have a diety - it's that kind of a setting. But you can invent one if you like. As far as I am concerned, you can be the only priest of your god anywhere in multiverse.

Maybe the elder spirits of our forest? They're pretty vague entities at the moment.


Male Humanoid Lurker 1/ Nerd 1

So, this game still going on?

Dark Archive

Yes, it is. I'm waiting for everybody to declare themselves ready. When so, I'll review the characters and begin the game.


Male Human Warrior 4, Fighter 1/Barbarian 1

Well, I should be done if I didn't say so already.


Male Sword Mother Orc Fighter 3

I'm done mechanically, but Uni has been killing me with work and I haven't got round to writing out a description/background yet. Lots of work gets handed in tomorrow so I'll be a bit more free then.

Background is very important for my games. Let's just say that everyone should finish by monday. Is that okay?


M pixie Enchanter/ cleric 1

im ready
Lucien worships an ancient almost forgoten diety called Nol, a trickster god of manipulation and intrigue who also offered healing, beacause it indebted people to him

Dark Archive

I'm in a lot of unexpected work these days, so the game will be on hold for at least one week more. I'm sorry for the delay.


No worries, I'm in a similar situation actually.

I think I'm about finished with the character though. If you've got any suggestions about his background and how it might be changed to better fit into Hohenbaurg then just let me know.


Male Sword Mother Orc Fighter 3

Sorry I disappeared, got snowed under with all the work I had to do to catch up on my course. Back now though, and kinda decided that the character I had before was just stupid and completely changed.

Decided, if it is alright to be an imp smilodan warlock/ smilodan beastmaster. Warlock just seemed to fit with an imp and I loved the idea of the tiny devil crouched invisibly on the shoulder of the monster he controls, whispering commands into its ear.

Only thing is that I'm not quite sure how to convert an imp into a playable character or whether it'll be too powerful somehow. So a little help would be awesome.

I'm in a lot of work these days, so this adventure will be on hold for some time yet. I would suggest that you check out rules for Lantern Archons and convert some of them with your imp in mind.

I know everyone has most likely forgotten about this, but is it gonna get revived at some point?

I second this question.


Male Human Warrior 4, Fighter 1/Barbarian 1

Why not, I'll third the question.

Hi, folks. I was in a dark place for a while, so I haven't paid much attention to virtual world. I am both delighted and humbled that you still have interest in this game. Tomorrow (on December 30th) is my birthday, therefore I think that would be a great day to start this Dark Side campaign.


Male Sword Mother Orc Fighter 3

Oop, better finish my character off then.


Stat roll STR 11, DEX 13, CON 11, INT 16, WIS 12, CHA 10

I am thinking of a Fiendish (LA+2) Afflicted (LA+2) Wererat Rogue/Wizard.

EDIT: The PF rules don't recommend using the afflicted lycanthrope template, so I will use Natural template (LA+3) plus 1 level of Expert.


M pixie Enchanter/ cleric 1

Active Conditions: HP 33/33 HP; AC 17, t14, ff 15 ; Init +2; F+2, R +5, W +8; Perc +11; Stealth +12 | Low-light; Scent | Not hungry

Edit : Ok equipment done.

Your stats seem a bit low. I'll have to check your ability modifiers when I get home.

Hah! I know what you mean, looks like we've got exactly the same ability rolls.


Redid my character. Namely, ranger became ambusher. Haha. saves the headache of choosing favored enemies. Aaand.. It's done! Somewhat.

How many characters do we have ready? Four is the minimum for starting the game.


Male Human Warrior 4, Fighter 1/Barbarian 1

I'm ready.

First post in the game thread is up.


Male Sword Mother Orc Fighter 3

Late, but ready. I spent ages writing out my background, then got the post eaten by the message board and now have a much briefer backstory which I'll fill in later.

Dark Archive

I'll review your stories as we go, and assign rewards depending on them.


I'm off to a convention on Wednesday, so I probably won't be able to post from then until Monday. If the wireless access has improved since last year then I might be able to get in a few posts, but I can't guarantee it.

Feel free to NPC me if necessary.
