here is the OOC thread for my magical girl pbp.
since all settings may eventually be accomodated in the constant plane hopping.
it matters not where you come from, you just need a hook that sends you the constantly changing city of Lisgi. a city between planes that constantly changes in a fashion similar to the maelstrom.
this pbp will be the opposite of serious and you can ask any questions you feel like.
i expect there to be more roleplay than combat seeking, but most combats will be up against humanoid opponents anyway. and i will try my best to improvise though some things may need planning.
I am going to have to back out, sorry, things have come up, and with the 3 PbPs I am in now, I am a little swamped, sorry all.
i need a name for a guild of magical girls in a city that constantly changes.
i was thinking something similar to the 'heroes guild' from the fable XBox RPG series could be applied and pcs could be gathered from other planes by agents from this 'guild'. if this works, i will need to include a 'spy' from the 'guild.' is including this 'spy' okay with everyone? i promise not to go overboard with her.
YAY!

Spy is good!
As for names... girly... ever changing... Flux Flowers? Bleh. Um... The Lisgi League? No. Sparkle Knights? (Because you see "sparkle" is Sigil cant for magic/illusions and magical girls are sparkly, and knights like as in Magic Knights Rayearth...). I'm doing a bad job at this, sorry.
And now, a really important question:
Can my pony have wings? Or at least be able to fly? I will take an appropriate penalty to Cavalier mount advancement if that suits. "No" is also an acceptable answer.
I'll work a little more on Calys too and get her up to snuff.
yes your pony can have wings
and yes your halfling can take a feat to wield medium sized weaponry, i'll even waive the to hit penlty.
'the sparkle knights of Lisgi' shall be the order's name. thank you.
i statted out the spy in another alias.
Agent Kuroneko. (you can look through my aliases until you find her)
expect most opponents to be humanoids and most 'mooks' to use stock templates.
Alright after hours of deliberation here is the framework for Galita. Still gotta do the fluff, and pick traits and stuff but you can get an idea of where I'm going with her I think
Aaaand just as I finish my character write up... a *huge* project has just presented itself at work. It's a big deal, and so my "play-around-on-the-Internet" time is going to diminish dramatically.
I am so very sorry, I do not like to back out of commitments, but better now than halfway through.
Thanks for inviting me to play.

I am interested in playing if you need another. I'm an old time player, but new to PBP. I know it's not rocket science, but I may have some stupid questions in the beginning.
Is this the Gestalt idea from the other post?
it's the same pbp i accepted you onto my list for. create a pc if you wish.
gestalt
class defense bonus
reserve points
4 traits no more than 2 of which may be from the same category
50 point buy (pathfinder charts) no single stat is allowed to fall below 12 after racial modifiers
everyone gets a free bonded object
item creation feats are banned (except for thier effect on bonded objects)
adding additional powers to your bonded object comes with not a 50% markup but a 20% discount instead (on top of the crafting price)
20,000 gold pieces, i don't care about mundane expenses less than 100 gold pieces in value. just keep it reasonable.
i need players.
Want to make sure I got this right.
Pit Fiends Beard, +1 flaming, keen, Glaive. 18k market cost * 50% = 9k creation cost.
Also acts as a wand of fireball 11250*50%=5625*80%=4500
Also acts as a wand of burning hands 750*50%=375*80%=300
Total cost is 9000 + 4500 + 300 + 308(cost of MW Glaive) = 14108gp
Did I do that right? I haven't settled down on this, especially the name, just wanted to make sure I have the math right.
yes. if that is your bonded object.
Yes it is, though I might skip on the fireball it costs too much.
If your still looking for players, I'm interested in playing.
Started background. Took a couple liberties with The Sparkle Knights of Lisgi, let me know if I need to change it. It is still a work in progress though.
Oh wow I didn't realize I'd been selected xD! Woohoo I'll get to work.
Question. Could i me a Gunslinger/Magus? I'm pretty sure that while Magus is a 'caster' it might not be caster enough for this to work but I just want to check and see anyway.
go ahead. it may not be a full caster, but whatever suits you.
gunslinger/magus is fine.

Wolfman you have made me ooooooh so very happy ^_^ Now I need to get to work :D
Thanks wolfman! Now what to make...
I'm thinking of a wizard paladin, but not positive yet...
I've decided on a Wizard/Inquisitor. This character is going to have an Amelia streak in her!
Also, How does putting abilities above our caster level work on our bonded object? For example, If I put a command word searing light or if I wanted to add a low level metamagic rod effect to it, is that something I could do, even if I'm 3 levels and a feat short? Do we assume we are crafting when adding the abilities on the bonded object, or is that factored into the starting wealth (Some GM's do that differently). For example, If I made my bonded object a +1 weapon, would that cost 1000gp or 2000gp from the starting wealth?

I love The Slayers. Wish I could find the last two seasons. I once played a character totally based off Sylphiel, back in the 2nd edition days.
Anyways, Wolfman I am done with making the character. Still gonna flesh out the background, appearance, transformation sequence, and the like.
Concept evolved quite a bit from just being an Alita inspired character. Now she's the team "bully," think Buttercup from Power Puff Girls, who doesn't know who or what she is really. When she "gets mad" (rage) she transforms into a spikey demon in an explosion of fire(Heat Wave) unable to communicate except through the evil tongues.
Anyways let me know if I need to tone down her Damascus Demon Blade, I just wanted her to not be "complete" without her weapon so I spent over 3/4s of her cash there, though I'm only using it's bonuses when when actually has it drawn.
oh and I just took max HP at 1st, 6.5HP/lvl after, +1HP/lvl for favored class, let me know if that needs to change.

Apparently The Netflix God has heard my prayers as I just found both seasons on demand at Netflix, as well as the first three, but I own all those. Thank you Netflix gods.

assume that you are crafting. 3 levels and a feat short shouldn't be too bad.
i see it as the item's caster level, not the pcs. just don't go too overboard.
Assume 1/2 number of sides +1 other mods per level. but max at 1st. (basically you round up the average)
D10=6
D12=7
D8=5
D6=4

Thank you. I've already got the sheet made. I just need to make a bonded object.
So I need a little guidance on the technical part of how to play online. Is it simply a thread that I follow? Are the guidelines outlined anywhere? Im not new to Pathfinder, but I've never played by post before. I'm bound to have some "stupid" questions.
Updated HP to reflect the extra 3 I get for using 7/level over 6.5/level.
Ok, My character is nearly done, just need to work out the background, decided on a name, and do a few last minor things, like choose languages and spend remaining gold. It's the last Alias on my profile if you want to take a look.

The most important thing is try to post once every 24 hours to help keep the game flowing at a good pace. Your going to be using the BBCodes alot in pbp, as it is used to help diversifying in character dialog or . Usually People use qoutes when speaking in character, I like to "bold my text" while speaking. Italics are good for emphasis and putting your character's thoughts down. This is also how you roll the dice too. The BBCodes are below the posting box. Sorry if you already knew all of this.
It's really not too complicated, My first pbp I knew nothing and it was pretty easy to just wing it as learn as I went.
Once everyone is ready, wolfman DM will create an "ingame" thread and this one will still be around for out of character things and side conversations.

I know nothing. How do you make your text blue (BBCodes)?
(ooc)type your message here(/ooc)
Except replace () with []
You will ultimately need to make an alias for your character, click into your pazio account and go down to message board alias's, and click create a new one. chose a name, and a portrait. once you post 10 times with the alias, the name cannot be changed and the alias cannot be deleted. "Galita Ido" above is "diskordent's" alias for this game.
BBCode:
when you start a new post, there is the following under your posting box:
BBCode tags you can use: [show]
hit the show button, and it will list the BBCodes that do that kinda stuff.

This is a dice expression.
Edit: Also Something I noticed is that if you put a dice expression in your profile, it does not "work". This is nice, because you can put your attack rolls and stuff in your profile and copy/past them, no need to type them out nearly as much. I abuse the crap out of it...

This is COOL! I'm such a noob I've always just replied to other comments. I figured their was something simple that I was overlooking.
Is their a way to get an email or something when a thread updates or do I just have to continually check?
At the top of the thread there is an orange icon next to the thread name. This willset up bookmarks that update every time the forum updates. Set it up on a seperate folder or your bookmarks will get engulfed by updates. Then u just need to see if u have new bookmarks.
I'm working out some of the details but here is what I have for a character idea so far. I was inspired by Evelyn Salt's (Angie Jolie's character in SALT) style, but with a fantasy vibe and flair.
I have a basic backstory that I shared on the other post. Evelyn is a tiefling. She's basically a good person and loyal person, but she's had a rough life. She's fiercely loyal to the few people she considers friends. Something in their shared history warrants the loyalty.
I'll post the basics in the tag. I'm looking for feedback on the character build. She's a conjurer (teleportation school from APG)/Rogue Sniper (also from APG). Specifically Feats and traits, but I'm open to any feedback.
Im not including gear because I haven't made up my mind about the bonded object. I do want an extradimensional purse though. Picture Hermione's bag from the most recent Harry Potter.
I've condensed it as best I can. Feel free to ask for clarification on anything.
Neutral
Str 12, Dex20, Con16, Int 20,Wis12, Cha12
HP 50 [ooc] I rolled and added con[/occ]
AC 24 (+5 armor/defense bonus chart, +4 Shield (when the spell is cast), +5 dex)
Fort+6 (including trait) Ref+10 Wil +6
BAB +4
SKills - LOTS, but spellcraft, stealth, sleight of hand, sense motive, escape artist, dis dev, acrobatics, appraise, bluff, and climb all have 5 or 6 ranks in them. Every other class skill has at least one point in it.
Feats (I may change some of these, but I specifically want feedback on my feat choices)
1-Point blank shot
3-Precise shot (so I can shoot into melee. It's kind of my thing)
5-arcane strike (Currently adds a +2 magic bonus to hit with mundane weapons)
Wizard bonus @5th - Spell Mastery (summon monIII, Acid arrow, grease, Jump, Spider climb)
Rogue Talent (RT)- Weapon Finess
RT-Combat trick - Focused Shot (adds Int to damage with ranged weapons)
RT - Fast Stealth (full movement while stealthing)
Special abilities
Tiefling Stuff- Darkness 1/d, darkvision 60, cold/electricity/fire resist 5
Rogue Sniper-Evasion, Sneak + 3d6, Accuracy (1/2 range penalty with ranged weapons), Deadly Aim (allows me to use sneak attack at 50 feet at current level)
Conjurer of the Teleport School (replaces Acid Dart)- Shift (can teleport to a nearby space as Dimension Door. Does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Self only +familiar. can move 5 feet per two wizard levels or 30 feet at current level. Can do this 3+int per day
Summoners Charm - Adds 1rd/level to any summon spell. At present level summoned creatures last an extra 6 rounds.
Traits- I like the last two. THe first two i'm on the fence about.
Resilient (+1 fort)
Sacred Touch (stabilizes wounds with touch) Could be a small suggestion that a higher good power is looking over Evelyn.
Poverty stricken (+1 to survival and it's a class skill)
Reactionary (+2 initiative rolls)
Ok, now I have a question of cheese for the DM. This came up in another thread with much discussion back and forth. I can see both sides of the discussion, but for this campaign I would simply like a Yes or No.
Magical lineage trait + a metamagic feat (eschew materials for example) that adds +0 to the spell level modification.
Basically with this combination it is "legal" to modify a single first level spell chosen at character creation to a zero level spell. As a zero level spell it can be cast ad infinitum.
Example Magical lineage (jump). You could prepare an eschewed Jump as a Zero level spell and essentially cast jump all day long.
It it too cheesy or does it fit with the Anime magic girl Flair of this particular game?
If yes I'm leaning toward Jump, gravity bow, shield, shocking grasp, vanish. They are listed from greatest to least in order of preference.
Ok, I think I finally decided on a name... making up a magical girl name is hard. Anyway, character is mostly complete and you can check it's progression in the profile. Need to add background and do a few last minutes touches...

SInce I have levels of mage do I get a normal familiar also or does this item count as my mage bonded object? I'm a little unclear on that.
I'm kinda drawing a blank on what would make a good Bonded Object for this character.
I'm also a little unclear on the creation cost. I was under the impression it's calculated as if we created the item. Then additional abilities have a 50% discount to add.
For lack of a better idea I have what I call my Rogue's Utility Ring
As a Ring of Invisibility (10,000g) Plus:
- The ring constantly cast Magic Aura on all gear in the wearers possession. The overall effect is that under the scrutiny of detect magic I will not appear to have any magic gear. However if I pick up a magic item it will detect as magic until the ring gets around to casting magic aura. I figure it takes no more than about ten minutes. I over-calculated the cost just to be on the safe side, but it still only came out to 1,000g.
- Ghost Sound 3/d (50g)
- reduce person (weilder only) @ will (500g)
- Disguise self @ Will (500g)
- Mage Hand @ Will (250g)
- Total cost 11,300

Scratch this idea. I've got a better one. Will post when ihave it fleshed out.
