Sutekh is of Osirian descent. Copper skin. Dark hair. Dark eyes. His clothing is travel worn. Ripped at places. Dusty all over. He smells of the earth and dust. Though one can see he tries to keep himself well groomed. He carries a well made, sturdy bow. Very little other weapons can be seen on him. The only thing that seems less dusty than the rest of him, is his armor. A shiny gleam almost penetrates the dust covering the man.
One more noticable thing about him, is the fact that a rather large scorpion seem to follow him around with a sort of skip in it's step...

Serket is a medium sized scorpion, almost as big as the human she seems to follow around. Despite that she looks like a pack animal for the human. Saddle bags draped across he carapace. She's has a very dark exoskeleton. One might mistake it for a black color, but if examined closely or on a bright sunny day, one can see it is actually just a very dark green. She too has a very shiny piece of chainmaile that covers her. She really likes it.

Summons a massive pool of water near Oloch's feet, then calls on a Celestial Dolphin to give him a big bear/bro hug.

A large blond man tromps in carrying a well maintained shield and a sword that appears to never have been used. On either side of his neck you can see tattoos done in a color reminiscent of woad, though angular in nature they clearly depict butterfly wings. With voice quieter (and maybe slightly more feminine) than expected, he says I Jan Itor, I come from Ironbound Isles in Land of Linnorm Kings. I travel and join Pathfinders to prove Desna strong, Jan like Desna act as shield for friends and try and bring luck to travels.

A slender wiry man walks into the meeting area wearing non descript traveling clothes along with a scarf tied around his neck in the latest fashion for Absalom. A closer look reveals his light brown hair, cut in an uneven style that peeks out underneath a scarf. Sky blue eyes peek out from his youthful face. His lean, wiry body is covered in dark tanned skin with a reddish undertone only noticeable in bright light. His smile is an easy going one as he waves at the other Pathfinders.
"Greetings! I am Wadi Ahk'kolon. Please to meet you all!"

Nice, all! As I said, you can integrate descriptions in your gameplay later.
So, based on a recommendation from DM Kludde, I am trying an experiment. I know that not everyone can edit Google drawings from tablets. (This is especially true of me, which can be problematic as a GM.)
Can everyone edit Google slides? I know that I can, and am now testing to see if you can. Can you fill out your information on the Campaign Handouts & Map and move your tokens around?
Thanks for your patience here!
Hmm

Touch screen. So either i accidently resize or i move the block im trying to edit. But atleast i can edit/move stuff =^^=

That was my thought. At least I can edit and move stuff. In Google Drawings, I have to steal my spouse's PC to edit, which means that map updates would have to wait for times when the spouse was not on the PC. This would be less than ideal circumstances as a GM. Hence the experiment!
Everyone, if the consensus is that this sucks, please let me know. I want to work with what will work best for the group!
|

I can. I prefer Drawings (as a DM anyway), but Slides works, too.
Would it be possible to also post a link to the map under your DM alias as well. It helps a great deal not needing to scroll all the way to the top of the page each time.

I was going to add the map link to my header closer to gameplay time, and add the rolls to the long form campaign notes.
I've been trying to decide if I need a separate GM ID. I note that everyone else seems to have one. I suppose there would be pluses to having all your GM posts be separate for search purposes...
And then I wouldn't have to feel weird having that map link in my main profile. Let me think if there's a suitable avatar for a separate GM identity...
By the way, thanks for all the feedback so far, guys.
Hmm

Personally, I love your current avatar. I'm not certain there is really any benefit to having a separate "DM" one, but there is no harm either. I did it originally (prePFS) because I used to have a bunch of avatars for common NPCs, but then I got into PFS, and specifically PFS PbP on my first deployment, and just wanted to try it out as a separate profile.
On one hand, it's nice to have extra links at each post, on the other, it's one more thing to keep in mind.

It doesn't look dead to me.

"We do not mourn those whose purpose was served. You are welcome."
I'm considering taking the Battle Variant Channeling option. Once play begins, I can't change it. Just curious to your thoughts. Either way, it's 3/Day.
Currently I can Channel to heal for 2d6. It's pretty much a waste for channeling to harm (2d6, DC 11).
With Variant Channel, I'd instead heal 1d6 (or rather 1/2 of 2d6) and also grant everyone in the area a +1 Sacred Bonus on Damage and also Crit Confirm rolls for 1 Round.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

From my end, one of the benefits I receive is that it automatically affects all Summon Monsters I Summon, which also receive Die Hard for free, even if they are outside of the range.
Regardless, I can only Channel 3/Day, and would likely be more along my 2nd or 3rd round action, (depending on the battlefield).
But, on the other hand, I am fairly mobile, and a bit squishy.
I've generally found (outside of Negative Energy) Selective Channeling to not be worth it, (especially when we have big brother with another mother with a huge greatsword at our side).
|
Yeah, Oloch likes big swords :D
I agree - it would be a good advantage for your summon Monsters - but they are not getting Diehard from the channel are they?
Selective Channeling, from my experience only really tips the scale when it is coupled with a strong investment to make your channels sort of your shtick (only done it with Oracle though) - otherwise I think you have done the right choice in not taking it.
|

I'm of the opinion that channels are pretty lackluster anyway, I think the buff is better than the extra healing (though the short duration is a pain). The nice part is that bonus generally stacks with everything. Either way can be useful though. (And for 3 channels per day I probably wouldn't invest in selective channel either)

It's from the Summon Good Monster Feat.
Next Level I get Augment Summoning For free, and at 5th level, Sacred Summons (Lantern Archon) finally kicks in to allow me to Summon as a Standard Action.
Personally, I just love the idea of having a Lantern Archon pet, and I await the day I can Lantern Archon Voltron it up.

Selective channel was very much needed on my negative channeler, Nefertiti. You may decide that you want it later on to avoid healing monsters, but I agree that with two warpriests and an animal companion in this party, a little bit of healing thaat you'll give the monsters would likely be moot.
I look forward to seeing the variant channel in action!
It's going to be hard waiting until the 19th to start this game, isn't it? You are all such a great group.
