This will be the Out Of Character thread used to discuss character creation and questions regarding the game. Once again the players for this are;
-Javell DeLeon - (fighter)
-Jaycen Keenword - Colburne Blackhand (rogue)
-AJCarrington - ???
-DizzyDev - ???
A fighter and rogue have the main melee bases covered. I know AJ as thinking about a dwarf fighter, maybe a paladin, cleric, or twf ranger instead?
This is the Alias I'll use for posting GameMaster posts. Everything looks good in Colburne Blackhand's profile. Good use of spoilers, not to superfluous at all.
Good to go. Welcome everyone, and greetings. I look forward to sharing some high adventure and hearty laughter with the rest of you.
This is the character I've got made except for traits. My wife mentioned that, on another thread of yours, you don't like to many spoilers. Let me know if I need to delete them in my character sheet.
Thanks!
Oh no, did I split you guys up!? It's not too late for me to flip flop some members, if you want. I picked at random.
That character looks great to me. Only error I see is Power Attack adds +3 to damage for a two-handed weapon.

No, no! She was just looking at the other team and noticed you mentioned about spoilers. I didn't know so I figured I'd ask if what I have was alright. She's not in either adventure.
Thanks though!
Haha, ok.
I know some GM's around here keep datasheets on all their players. I'd rather just be able to click on your Alias and see what I need to know.
Having a spoiler for every single stat just makes it congested and hard to browse straight to the number I'm looking for.
I understand. I can easily see how that could get tedious.
Cool then. I'll get my traits figured out and should be done.
Also, thanks for the Power Attack correction!
I completely forgot about that.
Hey if AJ is really dead set on running a dwarf fighter I don't have a problem moving to another character. During the previous thread, when it looked like a fighter heavy party, I was thinking cleric for a "just in case" backup. I can still do that if necessary.
Traits are done. So unless I need to change, I'm good to go.
Also, greetings to you as well Blackhand!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone. While I would like to play a dwarf fighter, have no real problems trying something else. Given the solid showing for martial-type characters, how does a wizard sound? Have yet to try one of those out, so should be good fun.

A wizard and a cleric would make for the perfect party.
Fighter
Rogue
Cleric
Wizard
My suggesting for roleplaying is to pick a god that fits your own nature and read up on it's followers on the Pathfinder Wiki. Some gods are rather more zealous than others. Cayden for example is less about preaching and more about having a good time and adventuring. Gorum clerics tend to be over the top and battle lusting.
Please post away and I will help.
Wow, I love your AP rules. Will they be in effect for MOTFF?
Which AP rules do you mean?
I think the only house rule we use is healing HD+Con each night...
Edit: Oooh, Action Points. Heh, here I'm thinking Adventure Path.
We'll hold off on using those. They're helpful for Kingmaker because I have to scale up encounters to adjust for 7+ people.
Credit is actually due to Jason (Can't remember last name, Nelson?) for writing them. He wrote one of the Kingmaker books.
Cool beans Mastermind. Shame though, those rules are pretty cool. Nuff' respect Jason Nelson, kudos.
Just had power go back on at the house - got to love this heat wave. Will start working on a wizard or sorceror this evening and try to have something ready in the next day or so.
Regards,
AJC
Treantmonk has some interesting ideas on optimizing wizards. Treantmonk's Guide
Though more often then not I have fun creating flavorful wizards, like this Alias who is an Enchanter.
Thanks for the link - will definitely review it as I go along.

Here is my Cleric for this game. I have not purchase any items for him because I wasn't sure of starting gold.
Gustin Thornburrow is an elven cleric of Desna. He is a young lad who has had some training in both ranged and melee combat.
Your average starting gold will be 140gp. Spend away! : )
I've created the In Character thread for the game. Please feel free to take a seat and get acquainted when you're ready.
SdF's Master of the Fallen Fortress [Team Sphinx]
When all four people have posted I will begin the main story.
Are the alias's on this thread the characters being used for the game. I only ask because My ability scores seem extremely low... It was 20 points right?

Most of them, except Bofgar and Tarin, those are mine just as examples.
S 12 (2pt)
D 16 (10pt)
C 10
I 12 (2pt)
W 16 (5pt) (+2 from human)
C 11 (1pt)
Nope, looks like yours are fine. Some people like to lower a stat to increase another. You could go with an 8 (this get's you 2 points) in Con and 10 in Cha to get your Str to 14.
If you could add a profile to yours as well including most of the stats that are in other Alias' I would appreciate it. Feel free to copy the format of one of mine.
Stat breakdowns for those curious;
D 16 (10pt)
C 10
I 12 (2pt)
W 16 (5pt) (+2 from human)
C 11 (1pt)
=20 pts
D 14 (5pt)
C 13 (1pt, +2 from dwarf)
I 10
W 14 25pt) (2pt, +2 from dwarf)
C 10 (2pt, -2 from dwarf)
=20 pts
D 14 (5pt)
C 14 (5pt)
I 10
W 10
C 10
=20 pts
I guess its really only bofgar's that confuse me... I calculated his out to 64 points.... I could be wrong. but apparently he is a BAMF.
Bofgar is the result of an incredibly lucky character generation using 4d6 drop the lowest. Here's the rolls. Don't mind him he's for a different game. I'm just using him as an example of In Character speech for new folk. He is actually my character in another GM's Master of Fallen Fortress PBP. Him and the other three people at that table are PC's from that game I included as NPC's : )
Apologies everyone - got caught up in Real Life today; still working on my character. If all goes well, should have it ready tomorrow and posted tomorrow evening.
AJC
Hurray I can post at night again! Long live having money for internet!
Elysar Darkleaf reporting in.
If you shoot me an e-mail at kronvet at gmail dot com I can get you a copy of Tarin's profile. I'll change everything over to your character and flag the parts for you to finish. It'll have all the BBCode tags and what not.
I think this is going to be real fun running the two groups side by side : )

Email sent - thanks!!

Hey AJ here is a link to a page containing several simple excel based character generators. Personally I used the Pathfinder RPG sCore Gen, it only has the base classes from the core rulebook, but it's simple to use and also it has an option to convert the stat block into bb code. Just copy and paste your stat block into your profile, and presto.
Sent that profile with lots of stuff marked for you to update. Feel free to change anything already there or the equipment and what not.
Lol I just noticed this character in a Runelords PBP, [url]http://paizo.com/people/LymBlackhand]Lym Blackhand.[/url]
You mean Lym Blackhand.No relation BTW.
Yeah that was a fail link.
I just saw the two names side by side, thought it was funny.

Thanks - should have it tweaked later today.

Sorry about the long absence. I lost my glasses in the ocean the other day and haven't been able to do any reading until I got a new pair yesterday. Also Sorry about the alias thing. I forgot to change it.
That's ok.
I think the Edit timeframe window is like 20 minutes or so.
Also, thankfully Editing does not re-reoll the dice. I would probably go crazy if it did.
Doin' ok there AJ?
I think I'll start trying to find a replacement for AJ. He hasn't been active on the forums for several days...
If you want I can talk to my friend and see if he is interested in playing.
Out of curiosity, I was wondering how everyone keeps up to date on there pbp games. I'm still fairly new to them, but so far I have them all set up on google reader. so i'm notified when there is a new post. Are there any other cool ways to handle multiple games or threads?
I obsessively scroll through the boards looking for updated threads while taking mind numbing calls.
Well if you're friends interested and wants to make up a caster type real quick have him submit an alias.
I was wondering about AJ. Looks like he's vanished on us.
I put the thread in my favorites and just check on it every so often. That way I don't have to go to the messageboards and hunt it down every time.

I've talked with AJ, it's ok. Though we do need to find a replacement. If your friend would like to submit an Alias to step in for the wizard that would work.
Whoever we choose will just magically trade places with the elf.
