Use this thread for rules questions and out-of-character banter.
I'm going to post official errata in this thread as well, so no one has to go hunting for it. So far:
Official Errata<Source>
-All PCs are trained in being unarmored.
-Both Alchemists and Druids should be trained in 3 skills (+ Int Mod) each (instead of 2 and 4 respectively).
-Alchemists can use Quick Alchemy for any alchemical item in their formula book.
I put the "Playtest Tracking Sheet" in a link at the top of the page. There are a few things that they want you to keep track of for the purpose of the surveys.
The second page is the player survey.
Slides with maps looks awesome!
Vyrsketysky (my rogue) is ready, and will put in his intro this afternoon while Elodie naps.
Brian's post is reminding me: Don't forget that Hero Points are part of the default assumption, so you definitely get 1.

I will have my character in tonight
I actually wrote it up over the weekend, but have just been trying to figure out why he would be in magnimar in the first place :P

I'm impressed you are keeping up from the Iberian Peninsula!
WiFi has been pretty good here. We are spending the next few days in the Azores, so lots of hiking in store, I think.
Marching order suggestion:
If 2x2, leave a 5 ft gap and have Tace & Vyr up front and the Tim and Tom behind.
If 1 by 1, 5 ft between and Tace - Vyr - Sorc - Cleric (sorry blanking on names and don't want to leave page to check).
Tim, are you going to MC this guy into wizard? Just wondering given Nethys angle.
SOP at door would be to listen for sound on other side, and check for traps and if it's locked. I presume Vyr would do that as rogue, but others might have better perception.

Marching order is fine.
I'm not planning to multiclass but it seemed like Int was a gap for our party and I want to see how it'll play in terms of DCs and the use of an action to make a knowledge check. I think I'll shuffle things around a bit when we play at higher levels, to test the high Con cleric build.
Sounds good, folks.
Tom and Robyn, sorry that the stability issues with the Paizo site have made this a rocky start.
I'll be introducing some of the conventions of PBP as we get to them (Knowledge checks, how initiative will work, and anything else we can think of).
Sounds good
Also, I am happy with that order
Nothin like a party with a druid frontliner :D
Darn it, I need to remember to preview
