By request and goading, I'm just about ready to start a Play by Post and Playtest exclusively for the Summoner class. I am looking for a party of 4 to 5 Summoners.
This is a 7th level adventure which has made the voyage from AD&D all the way through 3rd, and is now going to be rebulit by me for a romp through Pathfinder.
Allowed Materials:
• All material from Pathfinder Core, save classes
• Content from Pathfinder Adventure Paths
• Some lower Level monster races from the Pathfinder Beastiary (although I would much perfer Core races only)
• Traits from the Pathfinder Traits download.
• Pathfinder Chronical setting material, player companions, guides, and such is also allowable. But check with for the 3.5 content to see if it needs adjustment for Pathfinder.
At this time I cannot allow other material, even OGL content.
Starting Level: 7th
Races: Core + possibility of Beastairy races
Classes: Only Summoner!
Stats: Standard Fanasty (15) point buy
Gold: 23,500
Aligments: Any, but must be able to work in a group.
EXP track: Fast (EXP will be awarded asap for challenges and if there is a level up it can be done instantly)
im up for playtesting the summoner, but the description of this reminds me of an old Warcraft 3 map...hehe...
the name will be Thunder-Klar, a human shoanti summoner, will work on it after lunch.
Ekeebe :D
I'm interested in this. I will make an avatar soon.

I'm taking the sneaky role, myself. My character is underway; she has decent stealth and good diplomacy, and her eidolon will take care of some sneaking, scouting, and tracking.
How're we handling hit points? And from 3.5, can I port Lesser Vigor from the Spell Compendium as a replacement for Cure Light Wounds in wands?
This is Thunder-Klar, ive taken the armoured tank fighter approach and Ravn has taken the mounted combat approach.
im pretty muich finished, i just need to write up a backstory, and get the DM to fine tooth comb my character.
i decided against the different profile for the eidolon, cleaner outlook in my character's profile.
i dont know, if i get picked, then so be it, if not, then no hard feelings, i havent built a summoner yet, so this was a good experience.

Well. Including the person who originally requested this game happen, I'm counting six players for a 4-5 player game. ^^U
Sorry for my absence, been worrying about the "updates".
So far I see two front-line summoners(Thunder and Ravn's), a sneaky pair, and... no archer. Guess I get to play an archer! Will start working on him(or her) now. Perhaps a mounted archer...
Yeah but i realized that the adventure takes place in a dungeon - probably not the best place to bring a large flying monster. So I have skipped the wings and have made him a large bipedal grappler instead. But he is still equipped with a saddle so he can be ridden.

Well, mounted combat aside, why not a small flying creature?
I'll back out and just lurk, since everyone seems to have an idea built already.
Hey Dorje, are we using the "updates" for the Summoner and Eidolon, or are we playing the originals?
Expanded: Or are we just using some of the updates? No armor and maybe nixing the standard action casting of Summon Monster, I'm fine with, but for the revert to rounds/level and the one instance limit on the Summon Monster SLA, that really should be either/or.
Given the amount of creatures a Summoner can field, I'll opt to make the party a lower number, as there will already have to be.. what, 12 creatures to worry about?

Even if we don't use Jason's updates, the chances of needing to summoning anything other than our Eidolons are low(in my opinion, which is subject to change). Probably use them for utility purposess anyway...
Ayla and Arachne signing up for archery!
Here is Kurth and Pincher. I'm also using him in a qucik playtest match right now, that's why he listed as a lvl 1 summoner. But i made a spoiler in the profile with their lvl 7 stats.
Picture pincher as a giant walking lobster.
I still need to pick gear for them and write a background.
How do you go about magic equipment for the Eidolons?

My apologies all. I was not expecting to get sand bagged by my job. You'll see me more active this evening and hopefully we can get stared, and can get this running at speed.
could i please ask for a quick list of players, and the only other thing we need to know, is if we are using the summoner as written, or along with Jason updates, because that will change the way my eidolon works slightly (no armour) other than that, im ready to go!
so far the PbP looks like :
1. Myself (Thunder-Klar and Cindersteel)
2. Ravn (Kurth Rubenhein and Pincher)
3. Me'Mori (no character yet)
4. Viletta Vadim (no character yet)
5. (Ayla Holimion adn Arachne)
We are done. Except for HP, how is that being done?
*waits patiently fof game to start, if it ever does*
Not sure how valid the playtest data may be now... With the new playtest classes up, anyways... Maybe he wants to switch over?

Any slots still open for this PbP play test?

Though I'm not sure I should try running a second PbP right now, I do have the adventure if everyone would still like to try.
I'm interested in playing. If you run one can I have a spot?

Since I wouldn't be a Pc, there would seem to be an open spot.. so why not?
If you are running another PbP, DB3, I'm interested, any ideas on what system (3.5 or Pathfinder), if not, I think I will wait patiently for the hookup thread.

would you still be doing a play test or just a regular PbP? I'm cool with either one, just trying to see what type of character I need ti be thinking about.
I think it could be fun to do a playtest class only game.
Six classes, five people... I wonder who'll play what.
Well I'd like to play a summoner so I'm good either way. I think it would be fun to see multiple playtest classes in action, though. Assuming you are running the playtest, with the updated version of the summoner found here I plan on playing a summoner archer combo. If you are using the original version I may change things up a bit.
Ok, then scratch the archer type idea. I will make a more traditional style summoner. I didn't like the changes much either, so it will be fun to test out the summons at minutes/level. Next question is what level are we starting at?
i'm going with an alchemist or an inquisitor.

Use the rules found above.
If we are playing the summoner only platest, then I will use Thunder-Klar (will update to any level required), if not, I think I will use either a Half Orc Witch or Half Elf Inquisitor of Calistria.
Merry christmas everybody.

So, has anyone thought about this being a 1-2-3 Playtest or a Summoner only playtest? I'm leaving it up to you guys.
I'm going to cast my vote for the 1,2,3. I think the 1,2,3 will show the viability of the new classes to work as a group. My first choices for characters are a Summoner or an Inquisitor, but I don't mind playing something else if someone else has their eye on either of those classes.
I'm waiting to see what ~isn't~, before I decide what my class is.
I'm in the same boat as Me'mori on this one, I'll wait to see what is or isn't before deciding completely.
I think Dragonborn3 was asking us to vote whether we wanted an all summoner game, or APG playtest game. That is all I really intended to do with my post above. I think both games will be fun to play, I was just casting my vote so we can move on into character creation :)
