Ak, do I detect a bit of RL getting into that background? Just a hint, perhaps? LOL

Sovereign Court

Which bit, good sir?

Liberty's Edge

Male Rat Editor 3/Grammarian 3

That's not a denial!

The bit about wanting to be a game designer but his parents giving him the business for it - that was what I was thinking, anyway.

Although for a guy recently out of uni, the "being recently parted from a close mate" part could fit as well.

Sovereign Court

My parents don't really know me, so nah not really influenced. Perhaps some subconcious bitterness.

Nope, didn't conciously add anything in my own life to the background (can't speak for my subconcious).

Saw the board game in Gear in herolab and thought it was an awesome addition for the char.

Liberty's Edge

Male Rat Editor 3/Grammarian 3

I see. I am no psychologist, alas.

It will be intriguing to see how our glaive-wielders interact. I am intrigued. Prepare to be converted to Shelynism!!


No I dont get paid more just cause of the lack of people >.>

Hopefully it will slow down long enough this afternoon that I can get the introduction and start the adventure off :P

Ah, a glaive. I remember those. I used to use them before I mastered the use of the Fauchard. Its like a normal Glaive, but better.

;).


Just noticed that Max's Psionic Warrior has no Background yet.

Once that gets updated and we sort out his connections with the group we will get started.

So bug him now! :P

Female Human Mighty Godling 1

Iluna's background and appearance are done. Sorry it took a while. Busy weekend. That and the godling doesn't quite feel Golarionish to me. Of the Gods, I can really only see Cayden Cailean fathering a bunch of kids–the rest seem a bit more hands off.

Capsule character summary: Iluna is the daughter of Zon-Kuthon, who took the form of her mother's dead lover, attempting to drive Iluna's mother into despair. Raised to follow Shelyn, Iluna has come to Riddleport looking for new experiences and is considering entering the gambling tournament. She's a massive woman out to experience the beauty of life, who is prone to moments of anger and cruelty.


Alright time for me to go through everyone's sheets with a fine tooth comb for a Final Check (I have yet to do this so lets get crackin)

Group 1:

Daze (Rogue):

Approved, you are clear. I should know, I helped build the damn character haha

Khun-duhn (Psionic Warrior):

Completed Background needed and if you are going to connect yourself to Dzae need details on that. Beyond that, clear

Trista (Inquisitor):

Approved, Clear, ect ect

Tozur (Magus):

2 Things: 1 You are missing your description (not background though!) and 2, can you put your class skills on your sheet somewhere. Its just a personal thing I like to see. Otherwise, your good to go.

Marcellus Alazario (Fighter):

Approved thanks to Stuffage.

Group 2:

Edgar Price (Bard):

How much GP do you have left?
Can you do your encumbrance?
Can you list your bardic abilities, uses per day, ect?

Nichelle (Ninja):

Your good to go, Approved, Ect

Iluna (Godling):

Your skills dont add up:
3 per level
Acrobatics +4
Perception+4
Perform (Oratory) +4
Perform (Singing) +4
Stealth +4

So 2 of these have a bonus they should not have. I assume you are thinking that because Perform becomes a class skill that it gains the +3 Bonus, which is not the case. You still have to put a rank into it for it to get the +3 Trained bonus. If this is the case, you would only have a +1 to each Perform.

Where is your HP? Where is your Favored Class Bonus?

Otherwise you look fine.


Tragershen (Wizard):

Clear, Approved, Ect ad Naseum

Alexander Fellblade (Fighter):

Sort out the background and connection with Edgar.
And does Hero Lab not print out Encumberance? Cause I kinda want that somewhere on the sheet

Ninja'd by the DM. *sigh* Looks like you two are on different teams. Pity.

Well you DO have 2 Meat Shields.

The Godling and the Fighter.

The Ninja and Bard take up the second line. So there are still 4 warm bodies between you and the baddies :D

Background added- something I started doing earlier then got distracted taunting Jer. Finding a more suitable avatar presently...

And that's always appreciated. However...

DM

Spoiler:
We have literally no healing capacity on our side. Would you mind if I revamped equipment a little to pick up a potion or two of cure light wounds? Maybe put a skill point in Heal? I am planning on multiclassing to ranger next level (going for the true BECMI type of elf here), so after 1st level I would be able to use a wand of clw if we get one which will help with things.


Tragershen:

You can modify that stuff as long as you can afford it.

I just realized the lack of healing as well. Guess no one likes to be the healz. Whats funny is Group 1 has no healing either. Their only "healer", just like yours, did not take Cure Light Wounds.

Missing Encumbrance Levels still.


Fixed.

DM

Spoiler:
AK will be the first to tell you: having no healer is manageable if there are times to rest early on, and then access to buy/find items like healing wands going forward. The bard and I will both be able to use wands to support the team like that. I'm not sure what I'll be able to afford. By dropping the bow I should be able to get at least one potion; I'll see if I can work it to get two and still keep the sword. :) Thanks![/ooc]


There.. Unless you want me to also calculate the weight of 45 coins.

Liberty's Edge

Male Rat Editor 3/Grammarian 3

50 coins to the pound. So, just under one pound. Done!

Dark Archive

Male Human (Chelish) Polearm Master 1 (Fighter)

FYI DM Marcellus is on 247.5lbs, well into a medium load with a little under 20 lbs until hes in a heavy load. Max load of 400 lbs.


Ok in general can everyone put their Encumbrance somewhere on their sheet?

Just so I know?


Will do, as soon as I get home to Herolab. Trista is on a light load, and not even really that close to being on a medium load.

Done. I'm only affected at heavy load or more though and i'm not going to let myself go into it.


Female Human Mighty Godling 1

Fixed the skills, HP are right below all the AC stuff, encumbrance is under equipment. You are absolutely right about my thought process on the skills. I remember thinking that what I did was wrong, but I guess I didn't fix it. The two perform skills are really there for flavor, so I don't know if I'll ever drop a rank into them.

How does your Hitpoints reach 16? I can't figure it out. Everything else looks fine though.


Female Human Mighty Godling 1

I could be doing this wrong, but I've got 12 (1d12, max at first level)+3 (from Con.) +1 (favored class). Is that right?

Nope thats right, for some ass reason I was thinkin you had a d10 haha. I am not all here today, brain is fried from work yaya me.

Just noticed you didn't list what favored bonus you took at level 1 though. Can ya throw that someone under like abilities or something? That way I dont do this again haha.

Profile updated. I moved a skill point from Survival to Heal. He now has two potions of Cure Light Wounds, but he had to severely downgrade his weapons to do so (but that's okay; he's a wizard after all). I also updated his description to match the changes.

When you get a chance, can you tell me if the Player's Guide recommends certain languages or Knowledge skills? I know some of the later ones do, but I haven't seen the one for Second Darkness. I may ask to change some of those based on something the guide says. Thanks!

Well I found this thus far:

A Primer on Riddleport Slang:
Many of Riddleport’s citizens have their own slang and jargon that they use in mixed company to hold conversations in front of others while not revealing what they’re actually talking about. Of course, in a city of thieves, the Thieves’ Cant loses much of its use, and over the years, the Cant has devolved into a wide collection of regional slang words that most folk pepper liberally (and without thinking) into everyday speech. Listed below are several of the more common bits of Riddleport Slang.

Abbess: A priestess or whore of Calistria
Bridge Monkey: Someone from Magnimar
Capp: A trusted lieutenant or henchman
Cattle: A group of Varisians
Cow: A Varisian
Church Work: Any lengthy job that is slow to finish or is otherwise drudgery
Dog Biter: A large rat, small child, or halfling
Earth Bath: An unmarked grave
Easy Lad: A male prostitute
Fancyboy/Fancygirl: A cyphermage (sometimes an elf )
Gendarme: A city guard
Grog-Blossom: A facial pimple, or an unsavory person
Hushman: A hired killer, generally one kept on semipermanent retainer
Kiss: To stab someone—“Kissed the snickersnak” is a phrase used to mean “Got murdered”
Laced Mutton: A prostitute (gender neutral)
Leaky: Someone who can’t keep a secret (“Don’t tell him about the heist—he’s leaky!”)
Lumber: A passenger on a ship (typically an unwanted or unwelcome passenger)
Pigeon: A person targeted by a criminal to be the victim of a crime, or a person that visits a prostitute
Pigmeat: A dead body, or someone who is about to become dead
Pump-Sucker: A dwarf (particularly one who works at the Gas Forges)
Quickwife: A female prostitute
Rathole: The mouth (especially a mouth that belongs to someone who is saying unwelcome things)
Rotgut: Liquor (particularly foul-tasting liquor)
Sideshow: A tiefling
Snickersnak: A small knife that can be easily hidden on a person’s body
Soaker: A priest of Cayden Cailean
Soggy Plum: A drunk
Whisker: A wererat

I have not seen anything about specific languages or skills mentioned. Its a port city so its pretty diverse, even if its full of pirates.

Taking this as a cue, Marcellus... *CENSORED* and returns a few hours later, grinning and ordering another drink...

Look, i've been in taverns all over Avistan girl, and when a lady throws herself at me I know what it means. Petronicus told me.


I was just trying to coax you into a heavy load...oh wait, that doesn't really work either...

My nekogami-fu is strong. For the record, that's not at all Tristas personality. Just a little poorly worded joke. Hope there are no ladies in the room!

Encumbrance levels 58/116/175, currently at 60.98, Medium Load.

Now with 87% less shitty jokes!

Hey Aron (if you're out there) - given that you have this game starting up, do you still want to be considered for my homebrew? I have enough good posts over there to go with, and honestly it's clear you've put a lot of time into that concept, so I didn't want to assume that you still want a spot if taking this game has filled your schedule up too much. Let me know!
