Yar, here be the discussion thread for the First Steps game.
Role call time.
As noted, I'm interested. Looks like this is intended to be our first mission as Pathfinders? If so, I'll probably bring in a new character.
As noted, I've got a kitsune boon. I might try to use that if I can just figure out a good character to go with it (if not, I can probably come up with something else).

Hello. You don't know me. Or maybe you do several times over.
...we may be cousins. Shhh! It's a secret!
...remember how I asked you to switch the God's Market Gamble credit over? I made a mistake... If you're able to switch it back to 12657-8, I'd be grateful. I regret any inconvenience.
Let's get character names and avatars going!
I'm going to get the first post up either late tonight or tomorrow morning. As I mentioned, there will be a couple days of roleplay where you can sort out any lingering crunch about your character.
I'm tempted to run this with 4 or 5 instead of 6 so that it can proceed at a swifter pace.
Thinking, thinking...
I think we may be full, with 2 characters ready:
"The Laughing One"
Adebisi
And with four players cranking away on characters:
motteditor
Twigs
Lamontius
Lamontia
I'll be out at a "thing" tomorrow evening, so it might be Sunday before a first post gets up to kick things off, but I think you guys might need tomorrow to cement your characters and such.
Well, having been beaten to a dwarf PC () I might play a doddering old wizard.
Though I'd be keen to play a power attacker if I can come up with something interesting enough. Perhaps a Qadiran.

Much obliged. Will fill out Archibald's sheet now. Edit: Pretty much there, Have to make my mind up about a familiar/arcane bond and give him the necessary fleshing out and we're set!
Gray Reek: I still feel bad about getting you killed in Rats of Round Mountain.
I smell a tale here. Would you care to share it? :)
Should hopefully have something up tonight, in terms of a character. Having my gf's nephew's birthday party to attend first.
Oh god, those are some incredibly low odds. I hope your luck with the dice roller isn't quite as bad! :P
Fortunately, the Gray Reek had plenty of PA for Raise Dead. His player had made a terrible tactical move unbecoming of a cowardly witch.
Twigs, you really shouldn't worry about playing a second dwarf. I recently played some sessions in an all-dwarf game, and it was one of the fonnest gaming experiences I've ever had.

Hrm, I'm rather at a loss for traits. I'm leaning pretty heavily toward a bonded weapon at this stage, that floating spell being what it is. I've always leant toward bonded items since pathfinder rolled around, always finding familiars a bit superfluous in 3.5. That said I feel like a mangy cat or something to converse with would add a lot to his character. That said I think I'll go with the staff.
I'm excited to have a gunslinger, with the assortment of loud noises they're accompanied by, to be a grouch about.
First post up!
Don't worry about finer details of "crunch" yet - as long as you have an idea about your character's basic personality and appearance, you can get started posting.
Hmm. I'm having trouble getting it to let me put an avatar image on my PFS characters. Any ideas?
I always find it overly complicated.
Go to https://secure.paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/myAccount and then click edit and from there you should be able to add an avatar.

Just FYI, Wakedown, my crunch/fluff is all set. You can find anything you might need on my character profile, linked up and good to go.
AC / Armor Check penalties are currently set with my armor on, but as far as I know, I'm not wearing any of it at the festival gathering, so I'll post up some alternate fancy-clothes numbers later on today.
You're good with just calculating your armored/ready-to-adventure statistics - nothing bad will happen at the festival (at least this scenario). :)
Sorry for the wait! Between game sessions, essays, a date and two nights worth of cooking I havent had a chance to sit down and write anything.
Dates are always >> play-by-post character creation.
Especially if they're with wives/husbands.
I daresay I'm a little young for that! It was a good night, though. My lady-friend of three years studies historical costume and the making thereof and we hardly see each other with how busy it keeps her (ridiculous hours six days a week).
Turns out no amount of schmoozing will cover the expense of getting dressed up as a regency dandy though.
I may totally be cribbing a character (at least in concept if not execution) from Motteditors Reign of Winter game. Though I did deny myself a familiar. I didn't want to be TOO obvious.
But don't hold me to that.
I haven't read as much as I'd like for fear of spoilers, but it looks like a great group.
I definitely know what you mean when it comes to voice. Harrol's a bit of a challenge for me because I'm used to something a bit more... bombastic. Especially in PFS with less time to establish your character, I knew that next time I wanted something more audacious.
I'm loving Archibald. Bravo for triggering the "trap" twice! :)
I'm out of town till Monday morning, feel free to explore without me.
Quick, post one combat roll before you disappear!
Thanks for the praise, boss-man!
Oh, no worries! There's no expectation of posts over the weekend - I just do my best to keep things moving if folks are checking in and posting.
Okay so uh after that one-shot of Maurit
*climbs the corner turnbuckle*
*holds up the championship belt*
"BEST IN THE WORRRRLD!"

But srsly that was straight-up bananas
in other news
i am a big dumb animal for not using my Resolve ability to take another chance at the Fortitude save for blindness
oh well I guess I can save it for potential death instead
Er, frightfully sorry Mr. Twigs, but there's a bit of an error with Archibald's staff attack. It should be:
+3 to hit (+0 BAB, +2 Str, +1 masterwork)
1d6+3 damage (1d6 +3 Str x 1.5)
It's awesome to see a wizard kicking butt with his staff though. :-)

With the additional +1 of Abedesi's bless, everything looks in order. I'd forgotten the extra +1 from strength however. Good catch! Too late for an edit but thats 4 rather than 3 damage.
And yeah, I've always put a lot of stock on strength as an attribute on any low level character, no matter their BAB. At the higher levels, Pathfinder Polymorph and Tenser's Transformation can both benefit from a good strength score, and mirror image can make up for his appaling dex (although that said, I'm currently going strong for the "most times unconcious" award this week)

Glad to help out.
As a note I'm playing Doom Comes to Dustpawn all day today and Ruby Phoenix all day tomorrow so don't expect much from me over the weekend.
If it does come around before I'm back Adebisi will try and stay out of the way of other ranged combatants and use his CLW wand on allies that get hurt.
My mistake re: the bless. :-)
