While 50% of the "iron man" games I've played in didn't go well(I died! ;), I'm not going to let 1 death-by-giant scorpian keep me from playing it. I'll keep the stats in order.
In that case, I'll just issue forth the needed 100g I was saving for some random spending, and we have ourselves a Pinnace! Stats below.
The pinnace is a small, two-masted sailing vessel. It’s sturdy
enough to undertake long open-water voyages and handy
enough to use close to shore. A pinnace is fully decked,
but its sterncastle is hardly worthy of the name; it’s little
more than a cramped cabin.
Pinnace: Gargantuan vehicle; Seaworthiness +2; Shiphandling
+2; Speed wind × 30 ft. or oars 5 ft. (good); Overall
AC 1; Hull sections 4 (sink 1 section); Section hp 50 (hardness
5); Section AC 3; Rigging Sections 2; Rigging hp
60 (hardness 0), AC 1; Ram 3d6; Mounts 2 light; Space
30 ft. by 10 ft.; Height 10 ft. (draft 5 ft.); Complement 15; Watch 3 plus 8 rowers; Cargo 30 tons (Speed wind × 20 ft.
if 15 tons or more); Cost 4,500 gp. (Stormwrack, pg 101)
I'll be sure to include this in my profile's stat block when I'm all set and done.

Awake now to answer all the boat questions!
1) I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement on your position within the boat's hierarchy, my friend Sir Koan. That shouldn't be an issue. Maybe head boatswain or first mate. I need to brush up on the actual boat positions.
2) Yes, Kai'itza, if we all put some money towards it, we could easily afford the Caravel, but I was thinking a 'just in case people actually spend 2000g on equipment.' With our totaled funding, we have 4400 at this time - as always donations towards a larger ship are indeed appreciated (And if we're lucky, there's an end-of-the-world sale! ). But yes, a Caravel would be worth it, especially after we started 'upgrading' it...
Also, character's near completion. Background concept is done - just seeing who else I need to include in my dealings for this ship!
This is true, I was just assuming things would be fairly sparse equipment wise but at least we can obtain the first ship with little to no difficulties then =) and if we get something extra then it'll just be par for the course. ^^;
I'll change up my background once we get things more settled to reflect what we are actually doing in the setting. The fluff i wrote up was more off the top of my head kinda story-telling while i chomped at the bit for more info lol.
@willpower DM: I did end up switching my wisdom and int since lizard-folk get a -2 to int and I focusing on possibly making him a skilled character but it all depends on what other info you release which will determine his final path ;) other then that I left the rest of my stats where they were its been awhile since i played a 3.5 character.
Although i started playing back when 1st/2nd edition was all there was xD
Oh, you were going to play Ironman style? you didn't have too. I do reward those that try though by not killing you as hard. :P
Lol i fear not death after what we faced before fleeing our doomed world. We are all born into this world through sacrifice and blood, eventually we have to leave. If it is through blood then let my enemies fear the glory of my darkwood longbow and the pain of my shortspears sting. For as long as I breath no harm shall befall my allies. >=)
@"Captain" Devannis Pantera
I'd say hold up until we have everything sorted or else you'll be like me having to change yet another small thing in my equipment slots lol. >.<;
Although it nice we afforded our 'exit strategy' so quickly but not everyone is done so we may end up with more donations as this goes along. But do as you please lol i'm not trying to dim your spirits. =) But more donations could equal a equipped ship as well so however we all decide it goes it'll be fun.
Anyway i'm off to bed lol tty all in a few.
Kai
While 50% of the "iron man" games I've played in didn't go well(I died! ;), I'm not going to let 1 death-by-giant scorpian keep me from playing it. I'll keep the stats in order.That's the spirit!!
Yah can't keep a good halfling down! ;)
Surgeon for the ship is ready... who want to be first to appear to my medical desk... "evil laugh and dark orchestra of devils playing behind"
Contemplating being the Carpenter. Fix the leak from underwater!
Alright! It seems like it's time for a ship update.
Until we receive further funding, we have a Pinnace, and the statistics have been posted up in my profile as well as earlier in the thread. I took the liberty of naming her the Brotherhood, since we're all banding together it sounded fitting.
The crew listing is also in my profile, and I had to make a couple hard choices based on how the character would react. Therefore, the first draft is as follows:
Captain: Devannis Pantera
First Mate/Quartermaster: Kai'itza
Head Boatswain: Sir Koan De'Wynter
Gunner: [Rin Lightbringer's character]
Surgeon: Avion Merdiota
Possible Carpenter: Nerine Waverider
That's it so far.
EDIT: Willpower, Avion is Aventi, from the original listing you had sorted. Just thought I'd point that out.
Ah yes, my mistake here yes. Should have mentioned that Avion is my cleric character here. Just checking him up now and that everything is alright. Hopefully this will clear confusion :)
On another note, all but the rest of my equipment is completed on my character. You said you approved of most of the 3.5 era material, so I hope you don't mind my use of Flaws for some appropriate sailor-oriented feats. If it's too much, then I will gladly remove them, oh gracious Willpower.

Hi. I respectfully withdraw the dwarven bard. I would like to participate with a more serious character concept, however, although I'm not absolutely sure I get what's going on with this world. We've left a doomed world on a ship through a portal in the ocean, taking us to a sea world?
Finally, I have a character with some details.
Sir Koan De'Wynter, you in particular may want to check my background - it might intersect with yours in interesting ways...
Willpower, I haven't nailed down my Favored Enemy yet because I'd like your advice. If you give me no clues at all, then I'll simply go with Animal or Magical Beast - either one will fit the background. On the other hand, it would be consistent for the fey who raised Kyre to train her in battling something they foresaw her fighting in the future...
As for money, I'm going for an extremely gear-light character, so -
I'm contributing 1000 GP to the ship's fund. It's unofficial - my char, by the nature of the backstory, has never had gold in any significant quantities. Call it a windfall.
I can work with that if you want i can be one of your trainers but keep in mind i'm not quite the nicest person in the world email me at oberontheelfking @ gmail.com and we can talk
hey boss roll my stats i forgot why i hate pt buy i cana never decide what i want lol and do you approve flaws if so i might take one

Dice are fickle, though I think you beat the spread by 1 point, it's a small victory my friend. :)

its not thats its just i could quite figure out how to chops it up
well i've got most of my char done just need a trait how he looks gear and skills
Question: How did you get 4 languages learned with only a 10 int?
Automatic languages for a half-elf - common and elven. Speak Languages gives fluency in one language per rank - 2 skill points giving fluency in sylvan and draconic. Stupid of me, should have noted that under skills...
EDIT: Noticed too late that the boards went back on my default alias. This is Kyre Sannah, if anyone was confused about that.

Why thank you for the generous donation! This will allow us upgrades, since we're still only at 5500. I'll wait for the final amount before I publish the ship's final statline.

As far as we know, yes. At its helm are quite the many species, after such a tragedy!
And, final note - you can always find the current ship and crew information in my profile at the bottom.
I'd like to play a Deep One, if no one else is that already..
Well, I have been looking into stats, items and backgrounds and I found something interesting but just making some points more clear to me.
1) I have chose already ,,Keeping the Fait'' trait and if I understood right, I cant! take anymore traits. However, if I give up my feet slot, I can take 1 trait more-> so I have then maximum 2 traits and 1 feat slot for my character
2)Since I have Keeping the Fait and I have read the background for this trait: Is it possible, since my PC is follower of Nerull (God of Death etc etc), that I have weapon artifact? In this case Scythe, since it´s his trademark and favored weapon. Of course, we can discuss how to handle this -> I can use it in combat but its functioning just like normal one: except it has just carvings on it, making it something like holy (unholy in this case heh) to my religion and making my way back to Last End´s to show it to my superiors
Sorry if i caused some confusion as well Rin Lightbring is Kai'itza ^^;;;; Sorry about that Captain, I was looking over our crew in your profile and noticed it lol. My bad Rin is my default i'll make sure to change that for the future.

Nah, it's my fault for not looking hard enough. In that case, we do have a Gunner spot open for business in the crew - updating as appropriate.
EDIT: Also, background is nearly done. Will have it when I'm awake tomorrow (later today, really.)
Well, I finished with everything almost. Got equipments & 1 magic item (all together 1,900 gp + 1000g went to ship)
If there IS a Deep One already, I'll make a Gunner. Also, we're starting on 3rd level, correct?
Not really :P You can make between 1 - 3 level, as you wish.
Sorry to be a bother, but just to clarify some things for myself.
We are using the 'old' standard 3.0 rule set? Yes? Starting skills are all (X+Int Mod) X 4.
Any book from 3,0 or 3,5? As long as the book and page reference are given? Yes?
As it is an ocean/aquatic adventure, are aquatic races penalized? Or are they considered 'normal'?
Are Paizo feats and rules allowed, Such as the feat "Spirit of the river: You may remain out of water for a number of days equal to your Con modifier."?
I shall go with the 32 points for character generation.
Character class will be Ranger2/Rogue1. With money spent on the meanest x-bow I can make.
Will try and get the character finished this week end.
Much cheers!
No we can't use any paizo books but i don't know if we can use traits and background traits though. i asked about the books earlier.
hm.. since I got hand of mage as amulet, was thinking is it also expendable resource of magic ? Thinking of changing to something else if yes, since... no much use for one time :P
Well folks I have to change characters the campaign where the char this one is based on is about to start back up our dm is home from overseas on medical leave as he got shot in the leg so to avoid playing the same char twice I will be making a new one a half giant (firbolg) named finn fighter 1 barbarian 1. It shouldn't take long to convert over sorry for the delay I'm just glad adams home and mostly in one piece

Yes it is a 3.5 game, 3.0 content that has NOT been errata'd is considered 3.5 content. There may be a DM veto on stuff if you build your character 'gonzo', as a rule of thumb don't min/max it and you'll be fine.
No paizo content allowed, I love em. but this is 3.5 not paizos system so things don't always mesh well.
This is a high seas, heavy aquatic adventure yes. And there are no penalties for aquatic races beyond the fact they can't breathe air unless they also have the amphibious trait. (something I may add as a feat or trait for non druids somehow too.) the game is NOT 100% underwater though, so that may be a factor. I'll probably find a way to give aquatic types air breathing though as it would fit the world pretty good.

We can work on that once I nail down all the background traits, and flesh out the general traits.
finn the firbolg checking in here got everything done just got to post and check one thing the way you posted it our magic item pool and genral cash pools were separate i blew a bit of gold shinning up some stuf real nice and need to know so i can cut if i have too for the boat
Willpower DM @ Ok, Sounds nice :) I am then finished. Otherwise just got to talk with you about the artifact and how to implent it / scale according to game.
Finn @ Yah, would be good :) More people on our merry ship, bigger we got and funnier it will be for all of us... "dum dum" but warning: I hope you are not getting easily cut in fights since people don´t want to end to my surgeon table... hehe"

an actual "artifact" ...as in does cool stuff like other artifacts, no.
But a religious item related to Nerull that is of interesting, and or, possibly significant study, that may even lead to a piece of the puzzle being figured out later, yes.

NP, changing character designs, but where are you getting stats for Half Firbolg? Just so I can have it handy.
