Got Andern's equipment up, I might make som adjustments to get that MW backpack for him. He's cutting it close on weight.
I also need to know how you want to handle spell components. How detailed to you want me to get with them? I've had DM's that were real sticklers about it and others that glossed over it completely, so just need to know how to plan for it.

The conversion inquisition is cool and all but do you see my character doing that? I made him a stand offish guy who would rather not trust people or get to know them. Hell his family put him in a church known for fighting hoping he would die instead of having to deal with him. This would be something you guys will find out A LOT later if you get him to trust you.

Hey math, I was just curious if would let switch out my rapier and Handcrossbow proficiencies for Handaxe and throwing axe? Because those two weapons go better for my characters background and i really dont see Finik wielding a rapier or handcrossbow. It's cool if you dont, just thought I would ask.
Also got the background done and will have the stats in today. Just need to know that info before I buy equipment.

I don't really make a big deal about it. I pretty much assume you won't cast spells you don't have components for.

Yes you can make that switch.

OK, I figure I'll just drop a little bit of gold when I'm in town for mundane components. Expensive stuff I'll keep detailed records on, but that shouldn't be an issue until much later.

I thought the basic stuff was covered in the price of the spell component pouch.

It is, but I've played in some games with some weird house rules on spell components. Had one were they were good for x # of spells, had another one that wanted x castings worth of each material. It's enough to make a mage paranoid:)

All right, I'm here. My roommate killed my laptop so I can only get online while at work, at least until it is fixed which will hopefully be soon (crossing my fingers for tomorrow night). I may not be on tomorrow, since I have it off of work and it has been too rainy and stormy to walk to the library, but I work from Sunday through the rest of the week, so I will have ample computer time from Sunday on, as well as until about 10:15ish tonight (CST for reference).

Did you kill him back?

mathpro18 |
I really should; that's not the only part of my life he has been wrecking lately. I haven't got a chance to burn through the last couple pages of this thread just yet. mathpro18, did you need any more background, personality, or development information about Yuma?
No your good just update your stats(if you haven't already, if you have some of the math is off but I can't remember with what...I'm thinking hp...)
@Fisnis: Don't worry I'm sure he wouldn't actually do harm to him though...I do know some people who are VERY protective of their computers...like a few of my old roommates from college. Though thats because one was secretly producing "adult entertainment" in the room while I wasn't their...

Fisnis |

If someone was doing that in my room while I was not there yeah just yeah. Now on lighter note I am making a Saurian Shaman just the outline. Anyway it for the animal companion for it as you guys being DM its says just a dino since there is just one dino one would you make them just pick that companion?

I'm a struggling author - my computer holds the greater majority of my work. If it doesn't get fixed and needs to be replaced, that is several years of work washed away.
I punched in my rolled stats, favored class to HP, and +2 human bonus to STR. I think I made sure all of the math came out right, but you might want to double check for me. Also, I was planning on taking Lesser Fiend Totem at level 2, but would like to change the flavor of it to channeling Yuma's totem spirit of the ram and growing rams horns as opposed to anything fiendish, if that is okay?

Yeah it was your hp I was curious about but forgot your favored class bonus so everything checks out just fine. And thats fine you can grow ram horns instead.

Excellent - I'll for sure have computer access Sunday through Wednesday from about 4 pm to 10 pm CST. That gives me until Thursday to get my computer repaired or replaced. The computer ninja I have working on it thinks he can have it done over the weekend (if it CAN be fixed, that is).
EDIT: Do you know how high of a level you plan on going with this PbP?

Yuma Ahote |

Once my computer is back in working order you can expect much more than that from me, I try to stay on top of things and tend to have quite a bit of free time to do so. This coming week I'll make sure I get in at least one a day, and I have it packed with information as to my current motivations and potential actions to cover for my limited time, though if you are on regularly in the evenings I should get in at least a few posts, even from my work PC. Now I just have to look up the region we are going to be in to see how I got there from the Cinderlands.

Well a nasty thing to aim for is the T-Rex Powerful Jaw Vital Strike Combo. Which I guess you could combine with Spring Attack for absurdity if you had the feats. If it was a human, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Natural Spell, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, then Vital Strike as bonus is mean at Lvl 10. I like Pteradon companion a whole lot.

I just want to make sure my character isn't going to cause trouble for anyone else once we get a few levels behind us. I'm planning on taking the barbarian power at level 6 where you attack the ground to make a bunch of difficult terrian and using nimble moves with a bunch of AoO (combat reflexes, come and get me, reach weapon) combined with pushing assault to lock down the enemy and whittle away their health. Was anyone planning on using spring attack or other high mobility tactics that something like this would cause trouble for?

I think that's the direction Finik's build is going in, but by 6th level I'm sure we can mitigate any issues with planning and spells.

With several enemies and an open battlefield everything should be fine, I'm just concerned with tight quarters shutting someone down. I might have to set aside chunks of gold to aquire potions (or a wand) of Fly for the mobile members.
My INT went up from what I had premade with point buy. Anyone have any suggestion on a bonus language? Yuma speaks Taldane and Shoanti now.
