This is for players of DM Dread's RotR campaign on RPOL only.


Howdy, I'll make a Val avatar later. Any changes in character creation process, houserules, etc...


Hello, Tari here. I'm ready to start when everyone else is.


Okay so where do we store our character sheets and stuff. First time here if you haven't noticed


Go to "My Account" - "Messageboard Aliases" and create an alias.

DM JT, do you need anymore players?


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

Go to "My Account" - "Messageboard Aliases" and create an alias.
Click on the Alias name and go to "Edit My Profile".

Sorry, not yet. Thanks for the assist, though.

I'm not a very experienced DM, so I'd like to stay as close to official PFRPG rules as possible.

We'll be using this resource as much as possible:

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/

Everyone please add one new level to your character.

I'll be back with more 12 hours from now.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Okay, still trying to translate the sheets and what not.

What did I miss?

Also we are not allowed to curse in these forums?
"Do not use profanity or vulgar speech."

PS
Do not mind the Character Picture, there were no non-bald Male Asians in there.


Huh? I'm sure there is. I'll take a look later myself.

I guess not.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

@#$%!!! :P

PS.
There were no non-bald Male Asians in there that was in my character's age group. I think I saw a few older grandpa types with hair and beards.

Edit: I'm thinking of Multi-classing into Rouge, do we already have a rouge or does some else have a better suggestion?


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

I have 2 rogue levels and the avatar selection is 1 of the things I like least about this site. They aren't organized and there is an abnormally large amount of strange monster types. Just my 2cents.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Hmm, would you recommend a level in rouge?

I do not know the system well and I think the extra class skills will help a lot.


Okay, I'm here now.

The avatar selection I'm not too crazy about myself, especially the non-organization of them. It took me several hours this afternoon just to find one reasonably suitable.


Female half-elf Sorcerer 4

Likewise about the avatars...this is the best one I could find.

I'll try to be ready to go as soon as possible, but I might be delayed, mainly because of school. My apologies in advance.


Well, I shouuld be ready to go whenever you are.

BTW do we have place somewhere here to store character sheets ?


The character sheets can go in your alias' profile.

I'll be reviewing your sheets as well as reading the module.


How do we put them there? The only thing I seem able to modify under my profile page is wishlists.


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

Character Sheets
Go to "My Account" - "Messageboard Aliases" and create an alias.
Click on the Alias name and go to "Edit My Profile".


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

It's the Clicking on the Alias name instead of "Edit" button by the Alias name that is the tricky part.


Aha. Thank you Val, that was it.


M Human Monk/Swashbuckler 1/3

Okay, I got a profile, put in my old character sheet from the RPOL game. How do I get a picture attached to this profile?... Never mind I figured it out.

Oh, yeah, I got to add a level.

Is there a way to post private messages to the GM or other players? Is there a dice roller here?


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Hm...still haven't decided what to take a level in, Fighter or Rouge.

Any suggestions guys?

There is a dice roller, implemented as a BBcode tag. For example [ dice]1d20[/dice] (leave out the space after the first '[')

For PMs, you can mail me at barshevy at yahoo.com


M Human Monk/Swashbuckler 1/3

I know you want to stay as close to official PFRPG rules as possible, but DM Dread had his own modified 3.5 classes. Currently I am playing a Swashbuckler/Monk. He also okay'ed a bunch of 3.5 feats have and am planning on taking. Should I email the class progression and feats to you?

dice testing:
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14


You can post it here if you want.


Female half-elf Sorcerer 4

Sheet is still on its way. For this one, I'm making a separate sheet including my level 3 changes, since we don't know when Dread will be back and we don't know how (or if) he's going to keep going with that part of the adventure path. I hope that's OK. Not that I don't trust either of our DMs, but I want to make sure I don't get my stats confused.

Good idea.


Lin, you're level 5? Did Dread OK you starting at that level?


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Actually I'm still level 4, I just put down the level increase...we are leveling up to 5 right?

If I remember correctly, everyone was level 3 when I joined this game and he was going to limit my XP until it evened out...

...So wait...everyone is going from 3 to 4 then? Sorry I missed something...what's going on now?


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

Present
Tari = 1/2elf sor(draconic)
Val = elf barb/rog
Drula = human(shoanti) shaman(clerical type)
Varus = human factotum?
Xian Jin = human monk/swash
Lin Tai = human fig

Lost
Zoya = human(V) bard
Khaine = human wiz
Kiera Mydal = human paladin

NPC?
Camryn = human ranger

Well, our arcane power dropped, alot, but our hack factor is up.
Hoody Hoo.

Did I miss anybody?


M Human Monk/Swashbuckler 1/3

If Val is right then if Lin Tai wants to multi-class then maybe as a Wizard if you have the Int.

BTW, I entered at 3rd and still deciding on my 4th level.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Actually I'm a Gun Fighter. So it's more hack and shoot.

Wizard eh....I think about it.


M Human Monk/Swashbuckler 1/3

I didn't think Gun Fighter was a class. If you don't like Wizard there are a number of other Arcane spellcaster classes: Sorcerer, Bard, Witch, Summoner...

Would you mind staying at level 4?


BTW, I'm looking to start the game this weekend. Thanks for your patience, all. Both my current games are near their conclusions. When they finish I'll be a much more responsive DM for this game.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

I can if you wish, I'm just waiting for the time where I can get my stuff back and either build or buy a new longarm. So instead of leveling up during the timeskip, the ability to get some stuff would be nice.

Okay, seeing as there's going to be a timeskip and stuff, how are we going to deal with that?

Like Dread had this subplot with me and the local Tian Tavern Owner. There was letters of introduction and family seal involved I think.

Also JZ, what's your stance on the subject of science? My perceptions of Tian is that it's like 17th to 18th century Asia, so knowledge of the sciences would be fairly strong. Would Craft(Alchemy) and Know(Engineering) cover that?


Most of the stuff you'll see from me this weekend will be wrapping up what happened in Sandpoint and Thistletop. There won't be much you guys can actually do, yet.

I'll have to think about how your craft and knowledge will be affected. DM Dread is a very inventive DM and likes to work with players and tailor the rules to reflect their backgrounds. I'm not that kind of DM, I'm afraid. If you take a look at the adventures I'm running, I'm more about pushing the game forward, sticking close to the published adventure.


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Um...okay... O_O

So...now what?


Male Elf 2 Barbarian/2 rogue

Kiera showed up on RPOL, I directed her over here.


Thanks Val.


If you like to stick closer to the rules, should I change Drula over to a standard Cleric?


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

So...more or less everyone is here. Nice. '.'b

That would be of great help to me.

I apologize for the endless delay. But once I get started, I don't quit. The adventures I run, I see to the end (unless everyone gets tired and leaves ... which has happened :p

What were you playing before? Did DM Dread have a special class progressing like the Swashbuckler?


Male Human-Tian 5th Level Fighter

Well I'm planning on staying to the end...maybe after Raise of the Runelords we can still continue with our characters with the other adventure paths of something. :P


M Human Monk/Swashbuckler 1/3

Yeah, that would be nice but it all depends on finding the GM to takes us there.
