Will think about that Tark...not sure if freshly created characters would make good captains.
The pre-gen characters included in the PDF have one statted out as a captain, so I think the intent is there for the leader position to be filled by a start-up character.
Though if whatever story you'd like to tell is better served by an NPC captain, then that's cool as well.
So....
Tark - Magnificent Charismatic Bastard
Mark - Dumb as Rocks Automaton Ganger
PS - congrats on the divorce Bree! and I'm also looking forward to the 'challenge' of playing a female character :)

Grats on the final divorce!
With regards LASIK, I spent the extra cash to go with a well proven practitioner who had a great track record - it's your eyes yeah?
I was in funky sunglasses for a couple of days, but could 'see' right away. After that it was a month of having dry sandy eyes (which is solved with drops) and then after that it was all happy joy.
Vision is now better than 20/20
Did they advise you against using a computer for awhile or anything like that? Sounds like something I'd have to do in between semesters either way.

Bree, Congrats on your divorce. I just hope your ex doesn't cause any more damage to you or your daughter. Be well!

Nope, I could use computers etc no worries... of course staring at them means you blink less, so had to be pretty liberal with the eye drops for a while.
Thanks DMHW, I sincerely hope that he leaves well enough alone and moves on but I have my doubts. The good news is, I have a wonderful support group in my family and close friends (including Sable) who have helped me through the disastrous marriage, the excruciating divorce/custody battles and are helping me through adjusting to life with an autistic daughter. Even my lawyer has taken a special interest in us and has called to check up on my daughter's progress in speech therapy and to offer me words of wisdom. I am loved, it's a nice feeling, one that I can finally recognize and feel like I truly deserve.

Sounds like you've got a good mindset on it anyway Bree - which is most of the battle done :)
Caterine is pretty much there for the HoRiddles campaign. Just need to finalize the crunch and add some appearance / personality / background info.
Thanks Mark :)
Night everyone!

Grats Bree - time to party hard now!
@ Mark: True, after reading the creation again, I would aso agree: One has o be the captain!
Not that I'm getting ahead of myself or anything - but here is how the Automaton Ganger is shaping up for the Airship Pirates game.
Starting cash = 0

Dexterity: 1-1+1 =1
Fortitude: 1 =1
Presence: 1 =1
Wits: 1 -2 =-1
Resolve: 1 =1
Initiative: 4 (1 Dex -1 Wit +4 Perception)
Health: 4 dice / 8 pips (2 +1 For +1 Jug)
Movement: 6 yards / round (5 +Dex)
Sneak 3, Run 18, Swim 6, Leap horizontal 6, Jump vertical 3
Skills: - 20 spent so far
Dodge (Dex): 4
Fisticuffs (Dex): 4
Intimidate (Str): 4
Perception (Wit): 4
Might (Str): 4

Talents: - 9 spent
Mere Flesh Wounds: reduce dice pool and black dice penalties from wounds by 1 point.
Ham-Fisted: +2 dice to fist damage
Juggernaut: add one Health die
Pugilist x2: +2 to damage when using fists
Complications: -10
Mechanical: wounds do not heal naturally. Health pips only return through Ad-Hoc Repair.
Absent-Minded: 1/story GM can decide I have forgotten something. Need 1 success on Average Resolve roll to remember.

Illiterate: cannot read or write
Still have Airship and Schtick skills to add, plus another 11 points worth of skills / talents.
He's not quick, he's not smart - but he does know how to mash face.
Only 5 dice on the attack, but 12 dice on damage using Brass Knuckles :)
Would you allow the Expert talent to be taken for Fisticuffs?

Bree: Congrats on your divorce. I hope all works out best for your daughter.
Zyren: I'm starting on a concept - not much yet but I like the idea of an upper class Neovictorian criminal
Though I imagine him more like a spy gone rogue, perhaps even a 'servant child' trained to act like upper class for his business . if that seems feasible
It will take a few more days to work this out since I got to get the basics of rules and settings, first.
Wow Mark, you're lightning fast, eh?^^
For our first shot I would like to restrict expert to non-cmbat talents...you already hit hard enough^^
@ Fey: No problem, take your time.
@ Mark: You could have been one of Crot's men/women - maybe a friend of Sven?
lol
Fair enough on the restriction - just had to ask ;)
In truth I've been focused on the crunch first, so now get to move onto the fluff and figure out who this Crot and Sven are...
Edit: Face, meet palm. Just got my wires crossed. Now realize where Croat and Sven are from...
My bad - used my confusion talent :)
Why am I still at work, I have been here for 19.5 hours straight, although I did have about 15 minutes to eat lunch - 16 hours ago.
That sounds insane? So do you go home to sleep now or just keep on going for the next day?
Well, we still have about an hour of work left, then probably home sleep until noon and then into work for a few. I will probably make it a short day tomorrow.
Yeah surely, I also had to guess. I think she was never married but since the church of Iomedae is regarding happy marriages with so much favour I think she just had not the time to find the right man :)
You could make up a mistress relationship or something like that! Be crative, I'll play along with whatever you have in mind - it just has to be positive regarding marriages free of abuse and coercion.
You in the military too,Tirion, lol?

Nope, far worse - I am a lawyer. At least when someone throws sh*t at you guys you are allowed to shoot back. I have to try to explain to the moron judge that it was sh*t and not a bag of chocolate like the other side claims.
@Tirion HAHAHAHHAHA!
@ Aspiring Airship Pirates:
I'm a bit more of a Aether Shanties and The Derelict man off that album ;)
@ Mark: Great songs aswell!
Just returned from the tattooist - updates coming now.
Afternoon everyone :)
Folks, can anyone tell me how long a young adult green dragon needs to wait before he can use a breath weapon after he has just used it. I thought it was about 1d4 rounds, but I cannot find it anywhere. If it doesn't say, does that mean the dragon may use it as often as he likes?
Yeh - I was looking for that the other day, strange that it does not list it. As a player in the battle I would say once per forever. However, in all reality, probably he can use it at will even though this seems a little powerful.
Its 1d4 rounds. It is in the combat section of the general Dragon description.
Thanks Sebastian, DMHW - here it is:
Breath Weapon (Su): Using a breath weapon is a standard action. A dragon can use its breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds, even if it possesses more than one breath weapon. A breath weapon always starts at an intersection adjacent to the dragon and extends in a direction of the dragon's choice. Breath weapons come in two shapes, lines and cones, whose areas vary with the dragon's size. If a breath weapon deals damage, those caught in the area can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2 dragon's HD + dragon's Con modifier. Saves against various breath weapons use the same DC; the type of saving throw is noted in the variety descriptions. A dragon can use its breath weapon when it is grappling or being grappled.
Thanks so much, Sebastian! That's a big help. It's probably also a big relief to Tirion and the other heroes of the Elsir Vale that the breath weapon is not every round. If you want to see how these guys do against the green dragon, you can read some exciting action at DM Harpwizard’s Heroes of Elsir Vale.
Good luck - still messing with my Lyrakien character, you gotta get moved so that I stop changing things.
Zyren - any issues with Caterine's build or loadout? She should be pretty much ready to slot in wherever and whenever it fits in.
I'm thinking she's an ex-drover with Varisian gypsy in the background. Dab hand with a whip and started making a bit more cash when the lash crossed human flesh and not animal. Fairly no-nonsese in outlook, though still ultimately a good person.
Also - for the future Airship Pirates, anyone had some more crystallization of what sort of characters they want to be?

Self quote for Mark, Nightshift today should bring some work light time in the wee hours - I will probably have some more details next week.
You know, I just realized that there are no smurfs in Pathfinder and mites are just not the same, although equally annoying.
@ Mark: Caterine loksgood. You can jump in whenver you feel the time is right!
Heh - will see if I can find a spot ;)
For clarity - I'm one of Croat's 'men'? - friends with the big Ulfen lad Sven?
Made it back to the States. Two more flights to go before I am home. 14000 miles down 2000 to go.
@ Caterine: Sounds good :)
As near I can figure - Sven is alone at his tent (Kabal left to go assassin hunting), so I'll be chatting with him until there is a reason to do otherwise :)
Let's see if it will let me post now...
Afternoon everyone :)
Wazzup Bree
Little known fact. If you put the word smurf in your posts, you pic for that post turns to a smurf.
What secrets does a smurf have?
Hey! Why has my avatar changed to a smurf?!!!! Is this some sort of virus?"
For a smurf, wouldn't that be a Smurfirus?
Oh....and its contagious.
This started awhile back, I first noticed it when the Smurf's movie was coming out. IDK if they did it then or if it's been even longer. Smurf-tacular.
I just bought an Albino Honduran Milksnake. I just got her all set up in her new home. I haven't thought of a name yet, though.

Just a reminder, plane leaves Friday morning for me, then I'll be back around 12 Feb.
Sadly, it turns out I have a heap of admin between here and there, so posts might be a tad erractic!
Hope you have a safe flight, love. Post when you can, I'm sure some of us can pick up the slack for your characters in the meantime.
