Hm... just interested to ask but do you have group already up or... space for 1 more? Wondering if possible to take part and got character idea ready.
Thank you!
I've actually got the Player's Guide, but it's at home (and I'm at work). So I'll have to refer to that later on.
I'm really quite flexible about character concepts at the moment. The only thing I'm not really interested in playing right now is a wizard or sorcerer. So if the rest of you guys want to put in your preferences, I'll see if I can fill in a gap.
Ah, that´s great :) It´s perfect then. I have an idea for Wizard, Universalist. Made some concept before and thinking of applying it then here. Need to twist it little bit but would be okey otherwise
Just putting a dot down here. Will start on my character now. Same rules as other game, right?

Actually, I was about to ask about that. How much point buy? Max HP for 1st level?
Excellent!! :D
I assume standard 20pt buy, with all Paizo published material being legal?
Some amount of text :)
Amar always had a dream of becoming great scholar. He was always standing behind of others and looking with jealousy eyes when other kids were running and doing stuff which he was not able to participate. Most of the time he was sitting and being bored.
Once a older woman walked past by him and saw the lonely child sitting on bench alone. Walking next to child, the woman sit and watched other kids and then turned to Amar : "Why won´t you play with others? It seems they have fun". Amar look at women with odd face and then slowly speaks back... "because I can´t keep up with them... I get tired too fast... and when I play with them, they are so stupid. They don´t know what to do or how to play together. Even now as you see " Amar is waving his hand towards other children " Hem and Lim, who are next to line, could wait for a while so that Jam would pass the ball and then move together, but instead they are just running around like a fools..." he finishes and looks angry.
Woman won´t say anything for a while but then she moves her hand and Amar feels himself suddenly much stronger and healthier? He raises up and Amar notice that it´s not so hard to breath anymore. He turns suddenly to woman but he is not there until someone tap his shoulder. Scared, Amar jumps and tumps! He jumped too high - he had never jump so high - but soon crashes down and is dazed. "What was that? What did you do?!" Amar ask with big eyes. Woman watches at Amar while other kids have quieted down and watches this strange but interesting thing. "Amar was it? Here take this... maybe this will fill your time and not make you bored. Hopefully someday I will hear again of you" she smiles to Amar and then disappears.
Later that day, after all hustling and answering to questions from other kids, Amar is sitting alone in his room with the book... glowing and with odd letters. His father soon enters the room and looks at his son and the book he has... and then slowly fades out from the room smile in his face... "Seems like he was worthy of it. This is greatest gift me and your mother could give to you... hopefully Amar will be happy"
When Amar opened the book and begun reading, the words started to fly out of the book but soon disappeared. Wondering what happened, he froze... something was climbing on his back. Shaken and frozen to his place, he didn´t move but the small creature still climbed until it was on his shoulder... A sting was hanging on air, what he saw from his eyecorner... it was black and sharp. Amar gulped and slowly his eye wandered down as his head turned to reveal more... A small black creature with claw and tail which ended to sting was standing there on his shoulder... looking at him and then: A warm feeling of joy and happiness... A image of and somehow.. a word "master" was emating from this creature... later he would found out that this was one of those natural creatures from the far away, scorpion.
Years passes and Amar had grown... he had stayed the same, weak from the body but something else had happened. Although his frame was the same... he had gotten somehow quicker. Magic had started to influence him, exposed to it had toughtened his health, made it easier to breath although he still had trouble time to time if it was too hot or too cold... but that didn´t matter to him... since now he had in his hands the power he so much needed... and anxious of news from far distant land.. A relics, ruins were found from the ruins but also adventures... He had so long wanted to see these things but never had opportunity but nothing could stop him anymore. Amar wanted to travel... and feel the same as others: the changing of winds, the feeling of adventure

@Aventi - somehow I suspect that your character is not legal. A starting stat of 22 in Int seems implausible. Pathfinder's pointbuy does not allow stats (pre-racial bonus) to be below 7 or above 18.

I was wondering about that myself, but didn't know if that was a home rule type of thing or an actual core rule mechanic.
Any thoughts about the other characters yet? I've been looking at LoF traits and coming up with all kinds of ideas.
Well, true that. Although I have been calculating those numbers quite accurately, they can always be changed back.
9 - 1p, 8 - 2p, 7 - 4p, 6 - 8p, 5 I kept more plausible so here just -5 again so 5 - 13p
Of course then with increasing-
15 - 7p, 16 - 10p, 17 - 13p, 18 - 17p, here numbers increase after each 2nd... 13-15 are in 2p , 15-17 are in 3p, so 17-19 4p, and 20 is 5p
17+4+5=26p
BUT! As I said - I can change the stats back to 7-18 range and keep this in Legal stats arrey, although this is still inside rules... (well, can´t say inside rules really honestly but went accordingly as I calculated points)
I will rework here just new stats - if these then I will just need to change my spell list & carrying capacity
str 7 dex 14 con 7 int 20, wis 11, cha 14
Well, Megan is the final arbiter. But I personally would not want to see a stats buy like that. However, if Megan allows it, you can use age-categories to change your stats.
So given your final array of:
str 7 dex 14 con 7 int 20, wis 11, cha 14
you could apply 2 age categories to end up with
str 4 dex 11 con 4 int 22, wis 13, cha 16
I'm not sure how the games you've played in work - but a wizard in the typical campaigns I've played wouldn't be likely to survive more than one or two encounters. :)
Ahah :D This is my first time trying something like this. Plus! I am intending to keep him just behind everyone else "COUGH" meatshields!!"COUGH" ahah.
It would be just quite interesting. Would be fully debuff & buff, controller plus some huge one spell damage maker.
Thoughness + favor in hp should make the difference and later maybe some con boosting item but yah, how far would be able to get it.
hahaha - meatshields indeed. Except all intelligent enemies will make effort to squish the squishy but potent caster. ;)
You'd also have to be sure you're a pretty darned good chap, or the "meatshields" won't be so eager to block the trouble.
Well.... let's just say that my wizard is quite... "cough" self-confident and sees others more stupid than him (like all wizards! but also due to his high intelligence... even the fellow ones are little bit under down) but well..
heh, honestly, I am thinking more like party supporter. I am not meant for front or to be get focused ... of course DM!!!! might think otherwise but... I think I will find a solution for this :P plus I can I am able to confinse my fellows to shield me. The risk is low hp and able to play character *I really like and favor high and heavy RP so you can expect me to play quite nicely him :)*. Intent is never to go fully damage / blaster. Rather 1) I am supporting as you can notice from my spell list also and 2)I am trying to get my feats to support me with this decision.
But I can really see also it myself that I will be in trouble at some points so I need to think about this (would really like to play and see how will do, as I am thinking) and of course with DM approval. Funny thing is that he is universal - so he is really big apple with versatility character. The defense side is only thing worrying me
I've decided on playing a rogue. Hale Caress :)
I'll put up her story and sheet tomorrow
Cool. So far we've got the magic and the rogue taken care of. What else?
Actually, don't entirely count on the rogue - I'm still in two minds about it. Now. Again. :P
...but xiN's apparently got his heart set on a ranger.
From the looks of it, a ranger will be a good choice for this AP.
What else are you considering? Any ideas what Endraca is working on? If we need a front-liner, I've got a barbarian in mind. I'm also somewhat contemplating a cleric.
I am going Ranger, shapeshifter to be specific. Working on it now.
Ahah, understood :)
So.... with fast modifications.
new stats: calculations here also
Str 8 (8) +4
Dex 14 (14) -5
Con 8 (8) +4
Int 20 (18+2) -17p
Wis 13 (13) -3
Cha 13 (13) -3
-3-3=6
-5-17=22
6+22= 28
20+4+4= 28
@Galrian, you may need to consider that 8 Str gives you 2 (not 4) extra points. Ditto for Con ofcoz...
@Wander:
Don't be shy to make up your mind about your character - personally I like slightly lop-sided parties better than well balanced parties. Having an all-melee party would be awesome! :D
The best interaction is between melee characters ("I got that nook on my sword when I smacked that ogre today") rather than casters ("I just cast a spell - and now I don't remember it! What the hell?")
Anyway :) - I think I've got my heart set on a barbarian again. But Wander Weir, don't let that stop you to play one too :D
We're going off for some swimming fun, I'll post the char details tonight
At this point, I've got so many good ideas for characters, I was hoping to limit them based on your choices. :)
I'm mulling over playing a halfling Barbarian. I've got his backstory all figured out. Sure, he's not going to be anywhere as tough as a half-orc or human barbarian but I've never liked playing min-maxed characters. :)
Ah yes, I forgot to change that. Str and Con are 7 in this case :) Corrected otherwies so FINAL stats are 7,14,7,18,13,13
Hey Megan, when you get a chance, are we creating with average starting gold for class?
LoreKeeper here, meet the initial form of Hale Caress; barbarian, at your service.
Megan, Wander Weir and Galrian; if you want, please provide your email details so I can invite you to:
Megan's Legacy of Fire Google Page
This is *not* for actual play purposes (Paizo boards are more convenient for that) - but the Google page nicely summarizes characters, has loot lists, inventory lists, space for battle maps, hand outs, NPC gallery, etc. It's just really handy (I picked up this trick in the pbp that Navior is running - it really adds an extra dimension to the game).
If you look, you'll find Hale and Romo (xiN) and soon Endraca's character as well (once she wakes up in the morning... :P) - being able to use colors and tables helps the character summary a lot in my opinion
Nice looking character, LoreKeeper! I like the way you designed her.
If you don't mind, send me an email to my profile name (one word) at yahoo. From there I'll send you my real gmail account name for the Google page. I try not to publish that one too publicly.
Btw, we're waiting for your post in Navior's Serpent's Skull, dude!
You can check your mail, I used wanderweir - so I hope that is right
PS, @Megan:
I hope you don't have objections; I'm designing Hale's background relatively mature.
You can check your mail, I used wanderweir - so I hope that is right
Received and responded to! Thanks!
Hey, done with stats on the google page. Also I swopped my two character's portraits as you can see. This one just fits the desert ranger better.
Hi Risdin :)
@Wander - I assume you've had no trouble getting to the Google page? :)
@Wander - I assume you've had no trouble getting to the Google page? :)
Sorry, I got distracted when I was going to post about it. Yeah, I got to it with no trouble. Any chance you can reduce the adult warning on the set-up for the site? I know that'll keep me from being able to view it at work.
Done
Dang, sorry I missed this. I've got a LoF Paladin that I was playing in a game that recently went bust and was looking forward to playing him again. Oh, well. Thems the breaks. Carry on I look forward to dropping in from time to time.

Wander Weir's character is peeping in here. Gander, Halfling Barbarian. Still in progress, but a lot of the mechanics are included. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. And I'm not quite satisfied yet with the name. Hmm.
I do wish there were more PC options in the profile pics. This was the best I could come up with that wasn't already used a lot. *shrug*
Yea its annoying hey. 90% of the portraits are monsters.
azermath@luukku.com
Okay, character sheet in my profile is pretty much complete. I've included the background as well. Hopefully that works pretty well.
I've got a few more details I want to add in, namely the mechanics for his stats when Raging but I'm going to do that later. When that's done, I'll try to copy the whole thing over to the Google site. As far as it goes, however, I'm all set for play whenever the rest of you are.
