Male Human Fighter 2

Hello there. I will be posting the opening and setting soon. Feel free to ask questions and practice using the html below to play!


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

I dun found it!

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Cool. Just got a quick basic decription up. Will get an introductory setting up soon. As you know, no class or race restrictions. This will be a 20 point buy. Post whenever is convenient and I will try to progress the story as fast as I can. Prost to our first new campaign!


How does one go about character creation for an online campaign?

*Edit I figured it out, so now I just need to finish my character!


Male Human Cleric/ 2

This is my character; Samuel James Hallowborne, the cleric.

TEST:
This is me testing the format of the spoiler tag.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Cody, what formula are you using for point buy? Start at 8 then 8-14 cost 1, 15-16 cost 2, 17-18 cost 3? Or start at 10 and increased cost corresponds with modifier?

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

All stats start at 10. You get 20 points and the costs; 7 is -4 8 is-2 9 is-1 so you would gain points. 10 is 0 neutral. 11 is 1 12 is 2 13 is 3 14 is 5 15 is 7 16 is 10 17is14 or 15 and 18 is 17 points. Table based off the one under ability scores in the pathfinder core rulebook.

1d20 + 7

Good post man. I like you have your background setup. I'll try an find that esheet. But for now, if you both could send something basic to me that woul be great.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Also Derrick, good news for you. You have forgotten to add the plus 2 to any stat, humans receive in the pathfinder edition of d and d.


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Finished my stats, got my build, got my personality ready to rumble.


Are you playing with a character too Cody? Or are you just DMing?

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

I'll just be dm ing. I'll play with you guys sometime :)


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Fantastic! I believe I'm done with my stats and what not.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Good stuff sir. Btw, the sneak attack should read bomb as the alchemist gets on your profile. Other than that great!


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Vivisectionist, a 1st party variant of the Alchemist, acquires and advances the Rogue's Sneak Attack in place of the Bomb skill. I figured it's easier to deal with than the Bomb's splash rules.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Ohh ok I did not know that. Thank that is true. Combat will be more abstract than pure graph table top. Combat will be myself describing basic locations, environment, and actions.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Be advised to include any bonuses on rolls you may have. Simp implement dice HTML and simply press addition button then number then end dice HTML. Thank you.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

You all have been posting great. Keep it up. Also, I'm open to feedback on how you guys feel.


I really am enjoying this and I find myself checking back as often as I can to see if there has been any progression. Despite this being first campaign I am honestly excited by the story and the sort of mysterious way that it is playing out so far. I'm looking forward to when Samuel and Skyraper meet because I feel that their mixed personalities combine with the seriousness of the plotline will be very entertaining! :-]

While looking at another campaign I noticed the DM did a check like this...

Perception Check on the Color of the Man's Shirt

DC 7:
You notice the man's shirt is blue.

This just seems like a cool/convenient way of doing checks that way we can see if we pass before you respond so we can include what we discover within our next post. Just an idea.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Thank you I'll keep up the work! I post as much as possible. I like that idea I will implement.


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Fantastic suggestion, Derrick! That'd be neat to see, I'm sure Cody will do this well. And i think Professor and Father have had an expected introduction to one another :)

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

That is one idea I shall. I'm pleasantly surprised at the length and description your posts have been. And almost no trouble with character for a first timer. Thanks guys. We definatley need to surmise a campaign where we all can play! I have a few characters on standby.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Sometimes posts have come up late even when you guys have updated. If I notice, sorry, I think it's due to different time zones.


Male Human Cleric/ 2

I'm really enjoying this but a campaign where all of us play would be awesome too. I'm just glad your DMing Cody that way we are still all doing this together.

Your time zone theory makes sense. But the delay in posts doesn't seem to be that much of a problem.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Ok just wanted to make sure. I appreciate that!


Male Human Cleric/ 2

How am I doing as far as roleplaying my character? It's actually more difficult than I thought it would be keeping my own personality seperated and keeping Samuel's personality consistent.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Hey youre doing good man. Ive run into that a few times. I will admit I try and base many of my characters on a personality trait of me.


Male Human Cleric/ 2

Thank you, I appreciate knowing I'm doing well. I remember you telling me that a while ago so I will keep that in mind!

As you both know, the game right now is involved in Hidden Valley, capitol of the country Romain. Romain lies in the south western coast of the landmass Ceasaria. The south east coast rests the land of Gerudan, a region composed of desert, scattered oasis, and beach. Up to the north west is Ryhule, a vast plain filled area with dense forest scattered across its reach. And the north east lies the chilled tundras of Antarticaea, scattered within its encompassed area are sunken caverns, ironic ice volcanoes known as colcanoes, and winter wonderlands.
In the center of the landmass is the Great Mount Raienier, a very ill explored place due to the dangerous varied geographic boundaries suroundings. The main danger to look out for is the Mysterious Fog. Many who go in never return. For those who do, strange occurences well occurr. Some time seems to completly stop while others it accelerates rapidly. Some find horrors unspeakable of. Some come back permanently disabled while others cured. Balloon Flights have proven useless through due strange weathering. And noone has ever risked piloting a Zepplin through due to danger and cost. Out posts among the outer rims,(the outter rims are strangley enough beautifully and resortful) are setup either as tourist getaways, or as a last time stop for fairwhething adventurers.
There are other landmasses in existence, however I have not yet implemented them, but may later on. Across the oceans, there are outposts setup. Some relations with the Aquan folk exist, but not much detail there. There is also a vast amount of Under Caverns under the landmass of Ceasaria.
Imagine The Realm(name of planet) is like the Pangea shortly after is has split up into few large landmasses and oceans connected to eachother.

Sorry about the terrible grammer just typing quickly. NP. As a player, you both are welcome to add minor details to the world, if doing so helps describe your character in any which way.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Derrick, whenever possible do you think you can throw your stats and equip up like adams wall please?


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

I'll have you know that was an amazing puzzle, Cody. Despite the Professor's attitude. At first I had a big grin then I was all "Hint coin, hint coin, hint coin!"

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Haha thank you. I've never really done this side of the game so I'm just trying a little bit of everything out.

I do not own any part of the Bible or gain monetary profit from the Judaeism Christian religon. It is used soley for entertainment purposes. These postings do not mimic real life events, people, or information.


Male Human Cleric/ 2

Yeah I am tired now so I will put my stats up tomorrow morning.

Just in case your wondering why I have a 6 Will save I get 2 from being a Cleric, 3 from my Wisdom modifier and the other 1 comes from one of my domain bonuses,

One more thing, am I able to request a skill roll whenever I want? Like for the Knowledge(Religion) question I posted in the Gameplay section? Because I don't know what my character is allowed to know here or how I can find out what he does know.

Thank you. You can actually take the initiative and take the roll on your own and I will reply and explain the effect.


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Thanks for letting us roll on our own Cody, also sorry about not posting. Heavy work day

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Hey it's no prob man. I'm here for you. Just whenever is good for me.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Don't get bored just yet!


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Bored? Not close! Just trying to post in an inclusive manner with Derrick.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Oh good stuff man.


I'm not bored at all, though I am having a bit of writers block as far as the roleplaying goes. I'm working on it though because I in no way want this to end anytime soon!

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Hey you guys are doing great. All I expected were somewhat back to back posts an ashore description. You guys are on a good bit and have incredibly lengthy discussions lol. Sorry my posts aren't longer but I'm doing 90% of this campaign on my phone at work lol.


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Derrick, Father was pretty much struck so badly that he was knocked unconscious and was bleeding to death. You should have gotten a reflex save if this were a trap or initiative if this were combat but no harm(at least no lasting harm) no foul. I managed to first aid you back to stable which means you are conscious enough to move at 1/4th(?) Speed and take actions twice as slow... Except for physical skills and combat I believe. If you would like you should be able to channel some positive energy to heal yourself back into operational status

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

Ya, he pretty much said it in a nutshell.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

I was treating it as combat and him caught in the surprised round. Then roll initiative.


Male Human Alchemist(Rage Vivisectionist)/2

Derrick, no real rush but it'd really help if we could see your complete character sheet. If you need help with anything I'd be glad to help.

Liberty's Edge

Male Human Fighter 2

That would be very helpful. Adam's page is a perfect example.


Oh I'm sorry guys. I completely forgot about that.

Derrick's Memory
1d20 - 20 ⇒ (2) - 20 = -18

I'm heading to bed now but I'll add it tomorrow.
