Please make sure you have your alias updated and a status line that looks like this:

Rogue 6| AC 20 T 16 FF 16 | HP 51/51| F +6 R +11 W +4; +2 v Fear | Init +8 | Perc +11

in the Classes/Levels line.

If you haven't done so already please give me an idea of a few magic items you would like.


Fighter 7 | AC 27 FF 24 T14 | HP 66/66 | Fort +8 Ref +5 Wis +4 | CMD 26 |Per +11 | Init +2

Howdy all. I'll get on the header status. (mine is similar, but I can conform)

My list is fairly simple.

Gloves of dueling would be nice eventually.

I'd like an adamantine dorn-dergar.

Other than that, standard protective stuff (resistance cloaks, protection rings, amulets of natural armor), or stat boosting stuff. He's supposed to be fairly tanky.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

Hi, glad to be here.

My status line is as above if you want it exactly as you listed let me know.

Magic items as listed earlier but I forgot the most important of all, a wayfinder, when appropriate.

Looking over our group we are not the smartest or the most personable I have the high in both INT and CHR at 14. Wisdom is the best overall with our very wise Druid and Cleric, and notable Monk. STR, DEX, and CON follow in order with CON being my weak point at 10. He'll leave the fighting to the warriors if possible, maybe joining Kanna as a skirmisher. We seem to have a strong don't talk just beat them with a big stick vibe but we'll see how it turns out.

Edit: And may Florence be kind to you, DM Trawets and everyone in her path.


Ianfir: Druid 1| AC 15, T11, FF 14| HP 8/11| F+3, R+1 W+7 | Init +3 | Perc +9 || Three Toes Wolf 1| AC 14, T 12, FF 12 | HP 12/12| F+5, R+5 W+1 | Init +2 | Perc +1 (scent, low-light)

Checking in

Based on generic Druid stuff I think the magic items on the wish list would be the following:
Belt of Giant Strength
Ring of Force Shield
Polymorphic Pouch
Vestment, Druid's

Might have a better idea of more magic items the further we get and everyone gravitates firmly into their character roles and we get through what seems to be common turnover. I'll have gear and equipment updated by game start.

Good to know in advance. Ianfir will naturally gravitate toward Volta's influence provided its nature friendly or neutral... and doesn't show favor to any bloody centaurs.

I'm here. I'll get a list of magic items up before the weekend is over. I have a con to attend, but I should be able to carve out some time.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

My wish list:

Bracers of archery
Cyclonic keen darkwood composite long bow (magical)
Efficient quiver
Gloves of dueling
Ring of protection
Amulet of natural armor
Manual of quickness of action
Tome of understanding
Body wrap of mighty strikes
Cloak of arachnidia
Boots of speed
Clear spindle ioun stone
Iridescent spindle ioun stone
Goggles of night
Ring of djinni calling

Well, you did say that this was a wish list. :D


Will get an alias created tomorrow along with the proper stat line

Some initial, low-level items:
Pearl of Power
Bag of Holding
Cure wand
scrolls to help with curses, diseases, and other conditions
AC and stat buff items like Cloak of Resistance or Headband of Wisdom etc.


Cleric (Abadar) 1 | AC 18 T 11 FF 17 | HP 10/10 | F +4 R +1 W +6; (+2 vs Poison or Spells) | Init +1 | Perc +4

Here is Finngarth's alias, replete with proper stat block. He is ready for adventure when the call goes out.


Things have gotten slowed down here. I had some water in the house and fighting that while recovering from surgery wasn't good.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

Sorry to hear that DM Trawets, from the news reports it sounded quite bad, glad it wasn't worse but still take your time. Your health and that of your family is paramount, we can wait as long as needed. May you have good luck going forward from now.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

Absolutely agree with Volta, Take your time and deal with things one step at a time. We'll still be here.


Fighter 7 | AC 27 FF 24 T14 | HP 66/66 | Fort +8 Ref +5 Wis +4 | CMD 26 |Per +11 | Init +2

As said, we're in no rush and a game is not a priority.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

This is a brief message to let everyone know that I am going to be on vacation from Sunday, 23 September until 1 October. As many of you may be aware, my wife is 90% blind from glaucoma. She wanted to see Walt Disney World through the eyes of friends who have never been (or haven't been in many years) before she can't see at all. So I, she, and 9 of our friends are all going to Walt Disney World for a week!

During this time, my posting will be greatly curtailed, if not nonexistent. If you are in my game, I will continue upon my return, just sit tight. If I am in your game, please feel free to bot me as required.

During this week leading up to my vacation, I will be very busy and may be slowed, but I will try to get a post out before leaving for the week.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

To that end, I would also like to inform those who do not know that my wife is 90% blind and I am her eyes. Because I must do all the driving and handle her emails, my posting is often slowed somewhat. I try to check once a day (except weekends, which are extraordinarily busy for me) and am usually pretty good at keeping pace, but if I lag behind, that is what is going on.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

Just realized that a longbow can't be keen. Replace that ability with speed, please.


Fighter 7 | AC 27 FF 24 T14 | HP 66/66 | Fort +8 Ref +5 Wis +4 | CMD 26 |Per +11 | Init +2

It would be easier to check on this game if you'd start up gameplay so you can let us dot in. That way we would know when you've got it started up from our normal game list.


Good idea. I've opened gameplay. Please dot it and delete your post afterward. I had invited Thoron to make a mage but I haven't seen any posts from him since about the 16th. I had a PM from someone about a mage and once I get one in the game we'll start.


Ianfir: Druid 1| AC 15, T11, FF 14| HP 8/11| F+3, R+1 W+7 | Init +3 | Perc +9 || Three Toes Wolf 1| AC 14, T 12, FF 12 | HP 12/12| F+5, R+5 W+1 | Init +2 | Perc +1 (scent, low-light)

Tried dotting, but posts aren't showing up in preview or after I hit submit post. Hope I didn't just screw anything up


Apparently I broke it when I deleted my original post. I can't post in there either.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

I'd PM someone directly, the dots don't always show up. I'd never depend on anything working reliably on these boards. I always check by looking in the discussion and gameplay areas dotted or not. You may need to post in the website feedback forum to have it fixed. Hope this means things are going better for you DM Trawets, the news reports are still rather breathless about the Carolinas.

Sorry, I've been in the hospital for fluids on the lungs heart issues. I'm still wanting to play if the one I made up is ok with you. As far as magic items rings of protection, bracer of armor scrolls and so on.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

Thoron that sounds rather dire, good luck and wishes for a swift and through recovery. I think the GM needs the background and the profile for your character posted in discussion and then we start as soon as the gameplay issues are sorted out.

Hope everything gets better for you. Post in here with the alias and I'm working on getting gameplay fixed.

Eastern NC is still a mess. Things are fine here. The water in the house set my recovery back a bit as I had to do things I wasn't supposed to do but other than that all is ok here.

I'm doing a lot better thank you . I came home last night, now I just got to build my endurance up a bit. Thoron posting as Seldion


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

Revised looking over our group - still not smart or charming as a group but improved. I no longer have any stat as an undisputed high score (boo hoo!). Solidon is tops in INT at 18, and ties with me in CHR at 14, everyone else at average for INT, CHR is still the over all low stat with two 8s. Wis still tops for the group with the wise Druid and Cleric and Monk. STR and DEX switched places with DEX fractionally higher than STR overall now. Con drops a smidgen but hangs on the third highest overall with me still trailing with the only 10. Still seem a bit more shoot first and talk later overall but with the high wisdoms and Finngarth's diplomacy cooler heads may yet prevail.

We can make up for lack of words, charm and charisma with skills, magic and our actions

Quick question, how do you put the status line for your character? I've looked and don't see anything like that under organized play on the website. Of course with Piazo, doesn't suprise


Ianfir: Druid 1| AC 15, T11, FF 14| HP 8/11| F+3, R+1 W+7 | Init +3 | Perc +9 || Three Toes Wolf 1| AC 14, T 12, FF 12 | HP 12/12| F+5, R+5 W+1 | Init +2 | Perc +1 (scent, low-light)

You can get the stat line up by entering the information into Race and Class lines of your alias profile. I used both to get Ianfir and Three-Toes status in there, but you should only need one of the two lines.

Ok Thanks I think I have it correct.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

@Ianfir I hope I got your name right I think it's Eye an fir but it could be Lan fir I'm not sure. I agree with you I just wanted a overall view of what the focus of the group in summary was. For example you have put a lot of your points into a very high Wisdom good for making it hard to resist your direct attack spells and a high strength backed by good Dex and Con, sacrificing CHR. So I take this as you are a combat oriented Druid with strong melee combat capability and offensive spell casting. I hope I have that correct.

In my character I sacrificed most of his combat ability in favor of other areas. By looking where our team put their stats and where they didn't I think is shows an overall look at the teams strengths and weakness, but I agree it is not the whole story and how we role-play matters more than how we roll-play.


Ianfir: Druid 1| AC 15, T11, FF 14| HP 8/11| F+3, R+1 W+7 | Init +3 | Perc +9 || Three Toes Wolf 1| AC 14, T 12, FF 12 | HP 12/12| F+5, R+5 W+1 | Init +2 | Perc +1 (scent, low-light)

Always a benefit in knowing our weaknesses, very true. I should probably add to the magic item list a few items that will boost Ianfir's animal diplomacy to shore up the opportunity to converse with animals without terrifying or angering them.

No luck dotting in the gameplay thread, but still here ready to play.

Same here I tried dotting and its not working. I'm fairly new to this, you just type in dot?

As mentioned earlier by the GM the board failed when he posted and deleted the post rendering any further posts impossible. The boards here are fragile, the demands on the Paizo website is very high and resources are limited; Paizo is, for all of its successes, still an rpg focused company and making rpgs is not the road to vast wealth (for pen and paper versions computer games are a different ball game, some have reaped vast rewards for a few companies.) So it may be a while before the GM can get the website maintenance to fix the problem.

Dotting in is just making a post in gameplay, then if everything works when you pull up the gameplay webpage it will have a dot next to campaigns you have posted in. I never depended on this because I have found it unreliable, which is worse than not having it at all.

Sorry about posting under wrong character name, still not use to posting as Volta.

We'll wait as needed, GM Trawets, but a heartbeat check is a good idea I think. If you can post a status update once a week, even if just to say, everything is the same, will keep us aware that things won't just fade, which sometimes happens.


Sorry for the radio silence. Last week was a rough one. Robbie was in the ER twice for seizures and was admitted overnight on the second visit. My wife spent our 22nd anniversary in the hospital with him.

I'm not getting any feedback from Paizo. I think I am going to start a new thread and give you guys the links. The first post is going to take a little to put together but I'll try and keep you updated.


Fighter 7 | AC 27 FF 24 T14 | HP 66/66 | Fort +8 Ref +5 Wis +4 | CMD 26 |Per +11 | Init +2

I agree the new thread is probably the way to go. Hope all is OK in your family.


Male Human Rogue 1| AC 16 T 14 FF 12 | HP +3/8| F +0 R +6 W +1; | Init +4 | Perc +7/8 Traps | DD +11/13

Yipes that's terrible, I just keep hoping things get better for you, definitely family first!

Yeah new thread is better, it could take a long time before anyone at Paizo responds.


Female Human Monk (zen archer) || HP 10/10 (10/10 nonlethal) || AC 16/16 Tch/12 FF || F+4 R+6 W+4 || CMB +1 CMD 17/13 FF || Init +4 || Perception +2

Ugh, hope that everything goes well on the family side of things. Will wait for the new thread.

Please be advised that I will be leaving for vacation tomorrow evening returning home late Saturday night. I may be able to post while away, but certainly not with regularity. Should return to normal operations on Sunday.


Hope you have a good trip DM DoctorEvil.

I think I have changed the slides so you can move your tokens. Let me know if it still doesn't work.

Seems to work now. Moved Finn a little, but consider him looking around to see if anyone else is in the ruined courtroom.
