Here is the obligatory discussion thread!
Mind if we use this space to flesh out our character's personalities? Maybe post a situation that doesn't require rolling?
It's for those officially accepted only and, since I have not even made selections yet, that is a no. Sorry, it's just an OCD thing about keeping things in their proper places. I'm LE in regards to which thread to post in.
Hi, everyone! I look forward to gaming with you all. Thanks for the selection, GM Bloodied Waters! This is a campaign I've been eager to try out.
I really like everyone's submissions that were chosen, which makes sense because there was a lot of good competition.
Woot. Thanks for the selection.
Hello everyone, this is Sanguinus_Draconis reporting in! I will be transplanting the rest of my character from my laptop later. Phone posting is sort of sucktastic, no?
If anyone is curious, his last name is a splicing of la paz, Spanish for peace. I thought it was ironic and appropriate, given his moonlighting as an arcane assassin.
Hello =)
Hi!
I don't know about you guys but I'm excited about this campaign. =)
Yes, very much so. I love most of the tropes that seem to be what this game advertises. Nautical adventures? Check. Cthulu-esque madness? Check. Caribbean/Polynesian flavor? YES PLEASE!
I've been lurking over at Bloodied Waters' drow game, and I like what is going on over there, so that makes me even more excited for this game.
...given his moonlighting as an arcane assassin.
What are your rates? I've got a plantation owner I'd like to see removed from the scene.
Hello =)
Hi!
As an FYI - you can "dot" the gameplay thread, and then immediately delete your post. This has the effect of the campaign showing up on your Campaign tab, but does not clog up the thread with a bunch of "dots".
Neat! Also, I dig your backstory. I look forward to Tatienne trying to convince you it is the loa that gave you your powers ;)
@GM Bloodied Waters... I'm thinking that Taty is not terribly quick or even fast-moving, so I'm thinking about getting rid of Improved Initiative. Would this be OK? If so, I'd like to take scribe scroll and reflavor it to be gris-gris (minor fetishes, like inscribed animal bones, concecrated salt, etc.). Otherwise, mechanically I figure they'd work exactly the same.
I'm still tinkering with Orsal:
- traded masterwork weapons
- exchanged favored class bonuses from performances to known spells
cheers
@Mage Armour - Nini got the spell on tap for her Eidolon, but can surely spare a casting or two!
But she can't keep it up all day on multiple people (yet!), so we will have to be a bit proactive : )
(I'm going to try and get a Lesser Rod of Extend Spell eventually, so around level 7-8 a single casting should last most of the day !)
@ Tatienne - yup, I think that we shall have some interesting discussions about which are the true divine powers of the Tulita - or are they both one and the same? Simply different facets of the same power?
Hmmm. That's an interesting angle. Right now, Tatienne thinks the triumvate have failed the Tulita, so it will be interesting to see how those views change.
Once we get to know each other a bit, Ruul wouldn't turn down a mage armor. Ruul's effectively running around nekkid.
They've not got the duration or bonus of mage armor, but I can hit you with a protection from evil and/or barkskin in a pinch. I'll probably have both prepared at least some of the time.
On the topic of buffs, anyone have access to some sort of AoE luck buff?
The First Worlder gets access to Pugwampis and their aura of misfortune is quite the nice debuff - but indiscriminate. Worst case, I'll stick to summoning them on opposing ships :P
5 out of 6 characters are casters, but no cleric :P
(Our oracle might want to pick it up at level 6 or later, but there are plenty of other nice spells ...)
If Meherio doesn't want to, I can pick it up at level 7 with my favored class bonus. It also fits Tatienne thematically, so I'd be happy to do so.
I'm digging the makeup of this party. It should be able to roll with most situations as they arise. Lots of versatility.
Hello everyone, I have just checked in since being gone for Easter. The internet at the GM and I's college dorms have been offline until late Saturday afternoon. I will be catching up on my recruitment threads and the GM said he will post after class is over today.
Huh, the human shaman favoured class bonus is all sorts of awesome *makes mental note*.
: )
It is on the pfsrd d20 site now, but they have variable times until stuff gets there from the books.
Now, I must admit, I don't check the human race page so often, since there aren't that many features to remember :P
... the GM said he will post after class is over today.
Thanks for the update, Rodriguez!

Yeah, between that, the druid/cleric spells on the shaman list, and the lore hex allowing wizard/sorcerer spells, there's a lot of versatility to be had.
Is the one role we're kind of lacking on crowd control? I can certainly minor in about level 8 or so, by picking up some wizard spells and using the shaman spells that cover that area.
I can do a bit of magic that could help on a ship ("X" denotes spells I've got access to now):
1 (X)- Monkey Fish, Read Weather
2 (X)- Buoyancy, Commune With Birds, Fog Cloud, Guiding Star, Warp Wood
3 (X)- Air Breathing, Create Food & Water, Fins to Feet, Sky Swim, Sleet Storm, Stinking Cloud, Water Breathing, Water Walk, Wind Wall
4- Control Water, Ride the Waves, Solid Fog
5- Commune With Nature, Control Winds, Wall of Fire
6- Antilife Shell, Awaken, Find the Path
7- Control Weather, Vortex, Wind Walk
8- Earthquake, Fire Storm, Whirlwind
9- Tsunami, Winds of Vengeance
Wandering Spirits:
Waves (Agwe, Dan Wédo, Mami Wati):
Spells [Hydraulic Push (X), Slipstream (X), Water Breathing (X), Wall of Ice, Geyser, Fluid Form, Vortex, Seamantle, Tsunami]
Wind (Ayida Wedo; Bade; Ghede Loraj):
Spells [Alter Winds (X), Gust of Wind (X), Cloak of Winds (X), River of Wind, Control Winds, Sirocco, Control Weather, Whirlwind, Winds of Vengeance]
Nini doesn't have any direct impact on the weather. But she has a workable UMD score.
Additionally, she can summon a small bunch of critters via the Summon Nature's Ally class feature, which might be helpful. Most notably the Nymph with NA VII which is a druid caster in a can :P
Sadly, the First Worlder archetype removes the 'lasts up to a minute' line, so the critters won't be around that long.
On the equipment side of things, she has a set of Star Charts for navigation - even if her Know(Geography isn't stellar). And various little odds and ends : )

As a Waves Oracle, I always have:
Oracle(Waves Mystery)touch of the sea (2nd), slipstream (4th), water breathing (6th), wall of ice (8th), geyser (10th), fluid form (12th), vortex (14th), seamantle (16th), tsunami (18th)
In addition, I can select one Shaman spirit each day. Among these:
Wind: Alter winds (1st), gust of wind (2nd), cloak of winds (3rd), river of wind (4th), control winds (5th), sirocco (6th), control weather (7th), whirlwind (8th), winds of vengeance (9th).
Shaman (Waves Spirit): Hydraulic push (1st), slipstream (2nd), water breathing (3rd), wall of ice (4th), geyser (5th), fluid form (6th), vortex (7th), seamantle (8th), tsunami(9th). (pretty much the same except for the ever fun Hydraulic Push
Flame(make ships burn): Burning hands (1st), resist energy (2nd), fireball (3rd), wall of fire (4th), summon monster V (fire elementals only, 5th), fire seeds (6th), fire storm (7th), incendiary cloud (8th), fiery body (9th).

I also have Make Whole - which helps with minor things, LIKE FIXING A SHIP!
I meant that the Nymph might have some weathery spells :P
Edit: but that summon is faaar away :P
*Boing*
"Chaos! Yey!"
Get that feeling : )
... No matter class, gender, personality ^^
I mean, I had plenty of pbp's die (as is sadly the nature of the beast), but the small-to-dead ratio is pretty worrying ...
He has not abandoned everyone, he has been busy trying to get some of the more tedious work done over Spring Break so he does not feel rushed to do it the day before college resumes. I think he's about done with it. I am done with my college work, so I can relax over Spring Break. I know all of us are looking forward to it!
If he is not available tomorrow, would you like me to see if I can bot like 3-4 posts for him until he's ready to post?
EDIT: With his permission, of course!
If I'm waiting two levels for a solution, I'd prefer Prayer over Fireball :P
_______________
And what Ruul said! :)
I am quite sure he will. He's a stand-up guy and quite dependable. I don't think he'll go for any Full Metal Jacket $5 loving though, if you get my movie reference! :P
I will be traveling for work tomorrow, so if we get started, it may be Friday before I can get a post in.
