Reposted because the other one ended up at the bottom of the page and sometimes that screws people up and they end up missing the post, so....
Since I'm generally able to focus in and get the most work done at night, I'm going to grab a nap and get some major work done tonight reading and examining all your backgrounds and responding and getting the ball rolling. If any of you guys have anythings you want answerred, fire away as many questions/ideas/whatever that you like and I'll hit them all when I get back.

sorry im not to clear on the invisible items thing...could you explain it in a little more detail, I'm sure im familiar just not catching what your laying down is all...
Example: say you have 3,000 wealth, and I say you earn 1,000 more from some endeavor. You would normally buy a Belt of Giant Strength +2 with that wealth, but you instead apply it to your body, and gain a permanent, "Ex" +2 to strength. If you later acquired the necessary 12000 wealth, you could upgrade that to an Ex +4 to strength.
and now... time to get to work :D

Speaking as one who does not have many body slots, he he, much appreciated.

Still fiddling with my character's place in the world. Perhaps I'll go with the apprentice, rather than the master. Michael's student (and perhaps even daughter), since it'd be easier to find excuses for her to go out and adventure. Any thoughts on apprenticeship from DMG2? Page 175 onward, with craftsman being found on page 177.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to pull out. I just don't have the time with school right now.
No problem Viletta, good luck with school.
To Everyone
I'm working out some personal issues, but they are progressing, with luck I'll be ready to start this game in a week's time, who's still with me?

@ kyrt-ryder:
kyrt-ryder, did you ever find the time to work on the Duskblade conversion to Pathfinder like you mentioned in another thread? Have you done any other non-core class conversions to Pathfinder (warlock, etc.)? If so, may I have a look at them?
Thanks.

Holy Snap it looks like I totally forgot about this thread after I started the actual campaign (which died because of various family things going on), and neglected to keep in touch.
We're going to need to work on that character concept a bit Neko, since I've fairly heavily modified things. The concept itself is great, but it's possible we'll want to execute it differently (that and I haven't touched the BO9S base classes yet xD)
Also, Neko, just so you know I replied to you, feel free to reply to my email when you can.
Also, about the Duskblade conversion... my conversions generally aren't considered 'true' PF conversions because I seek to enhance the non-caster aspects, however, I'll get on it when I can VooDoo.
At some point tonight or tomorrow I'll be putting up a campaign recruitment thread for a new game I'm starting soon. I have to warn you guys though, it WILL be a chat game, although I may set up a forum for some between session RP.

Kurt, what chat software will you be using, and will this game be the Sandbox one, or are you starting something new?

We'll be using Windows Live Messenger, with the MSN PLUS add on using the Advanced Dice Roller Script to handle the dice aspects.
It will be A sandbox, because that's how I roll lol, although the areas that were played in the older game will likely be somewhere in this one, just likely not the starting point.
Also, I will note that I've refined my revisions a healthy amount, but they are 90% finished so I'll be able to get them up on a website (an actual site rather than a filesharing system) soon.

guess i could do it with fighter instead of warblade. but same basic concept. his titles as general are the "Tiger of the South" and the "God of Cats" he has 2 daughters and is married to the same Shugenja that reincarnated him. this idea was inspired by a freeform character i used years ago. this username i use is that of his younger daughter. he is intellegent, but predatory. his daughters are his sole devotion. he takes amazing pride in his youngest daughter and cherishes her above all else. his oldest daughter was slain in battle, his shugenja wife though loving doesn't want to produce more children. he brings his youngest daughter (mechanically an advanced human rogue) with him everywhere. how better for the "tiger" to protect his "cub" than to bring her along with him. his daughter is roughly around 12ish years old and is half human and half zashiki warashi (represented by advanced template and eternal youth). but would the daughter count as a pc too? his prized last surviving daughter is more of the "sneaky flanking/planning type." he lets her fight as well, but assists should it come to risk.

Cool, and will you allow the character I had before, Pinky, or do I need to work on something else?

I just checked, could you remind me whether that character was considered level 1 or level 2?
Also, I'll be showing you my revised rogue most likely tomorrow (gosh now that things are actually getting ready to pick up all the little holes are showing so much clearer than before xD), and odds are decent you'll want to roll with that and some of the options available (If not I'm sure I can tweak the Ninja enough)

Looking at the equipment for him, he has 3rd level gear, so the Pseudodragon must give him a +1 to his CR since he has 2 HD total.

Alright, I'll look into the PF Pseudodragon and see if I want to keep it that way or modify it.
I am feeling lazy though lol (well, and busy with tweaks), so please link me to that PRD page?

Just read it. Seems 'about' good enough to be a level with it's racial hit die, so with the class level it's a level 2 presently. I think I will give you an additional racial +2 to put onto your choice of Int or Cha though.
Also something you should know for recording your damage. In my game Weapon Finesse causes finessible attacks to use dexterity instead of strength for damage.
Hope that helps ^^

does your ninja finally have sneak attack? (and not sudden strike) that may tempt me to try one.
a prodigal "child" who is skilled in ninjutsu. and has developed heightened attributes above the norm (advanced template). she is half youkai (represented human w/ advanced template). her weapon of choice is a pair of spring loaded daggers. she seeks perfection and never fights fair.

I'm not sure about the new one I may make for Pinky. I upgraded one some time ago, but I kept Sudden Strike. What I DID do though, was allow the AC bonus in light armor, and granted it a bunch of special abilities (basically I blended most of the 'ki jutsu' feats from dragon magazine, complete adventurer and complete scoundrel into the class, and added a couple other spell likes, and significantly increased the ki pool)
I also changed things like duration. Ghost Step lasted rounds = wisdom modifier I believe, but I could be wrong, haven't looked at it in a while.

i'd reccomend giving it sneak attack, sudden strike is impossible to pull off. can you link me to your ninja?

I've actually seen it in play, trust me it got sudden strike off a lot. When it costs you one ki point as a swift action to become invisible for 3-6 rounds, you can launch into as many full attacks as you want.
If the opponent can see invisibility it gets trickier, but that's what stealth is for (and stealth is fully functional in my games.)
Regretably I don't have it posted up anywhere as of yet, but I can email it to you if you like?

kyrt-ryder |
Dunno about the template, odds are decent it's too weak to function as a level after the changes I've made, but I'll see what I think about it after I read it.
Last game started at ECL 2, but for this one I might change that.
Oh, right, here's the New Thread Link
And Neko, I'm REALLY tired and having a hard time finding the ninja redesign, so I'll have to dig it up tomorrow. Feel free to post on the new thread and get the discussion going.
