Woot! I've always wanted to play Ptolus and have been itching to play this character. Win Win!

On a side note and this will possibly be introduced here soon, my original intent is that you are all be marked with a Rune(a la some of the lore in the campaign about Runebearers) that are invisible to most people. I am still trying to decide how I want to handle them but so far I am think it will be a spell you can cast 1/day and a skill bonus and essentially like a trait. Though more similar to the least dragonmarks from Eberron...which is the closest I could find to it. Baffles me that it is so very briefly mentioned in the setting even though its seems to be sorta important to several plot lines. Once I have hashed it out I will post the update here and let you guys pick your Rune.

Ok all fixed up , background, traits etc..
The only Ptolus background that made sense was Arena Fighter. Do you want me to make up the special contacts ?
EDIT: Oh, and thanks alot for choosing me. Loves me Ptolus, long time :)
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
No, I will come up with something or rather someone.
Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian (Armored Hulk) 4
Doran most likely was also an arena fighter. Can you pick a contact for me as well.
@jesset - Perhaps we know each other from the arena?
Litorian Fighter 2/ Inquisitor 2 HP:33/41 AC:20 T:13 FF:17 F:+10 R:+4 W:+6 (+1 fear) Perception:+10 Init:+9
Well, underground arena fighter...ie slaves fighting slaves, so not the official sanctioned fights in Old Town.

I'm not sure if it matters, but it doesn't look like I made it to the 'characters' tab.
Otherwise, I'm happy to be here!
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
Once you post it adds you Vaelus.
Everyone I am going through and messaging you privately if your character has a special contact from your Ptolus background trait, it may take a day or two for me to get everyones done so just bare with me. Jesset already sent you yours.
Lord T - According to Kelwyn's background he's sort of an information gatherer and problem solver for a powerful family. Could I use House Dallimothan or Kath? Also, none of the backgrounds in the Player's Guide feel right for him. Any thoughts? I'm okay with skipping one.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
hmm...Unforunately there isnt one that will perfectly fite I just looked over your traits..I need you to drop one of them and choose from the list in the player's guide there is two or three on there that are tied to 3.5 gather info skill (meaning its a bonus to diplomacy) and a couple of them work as someone who could work for either of those houses is fine.
Can I go with messenger & get a special contact? If not, I'll go with Laborer and +2 to diplomacy.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
thats up to you either one is fine :) just make the change and let me know
Let's go with messenger. Changes made.
Just FYI, Lord T, I'm going with Kelwyn being employed by Doraedian Mythlord. He's mentioned in the player's guide as being the Elven master of Iridithil’s Home, an elvish sanctuary, and quite influential in town. Kel will be his right hand, acting behind the scenes kind of guy. I don't have the Ptolus main (monster of a) book, so if there is any info in there that you want to share, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks, and thanks, also, for running the game. I like the characters everyone has put together and it looks like we're off to a good start!

Here is my perception. I can't roll dice in gameplay for some reason.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
hmm weird cause it let you initially could be it was the site that was messed up when you tried, next time I need a roll try it in that thread again and let me know if its still giving you issues. Thanks though :)
I had a similar problem when I tried posting just a dice roll, but when I added some text, it went through.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM

Take care of what's important, we'll be here

Hey Lord T
Feel free to roll our perception checks for us. Then, we don't have to wait for the results. In my games that I GM, I keep a block of the characters perceptions written out in Word with the [dice command. Then I copy and paste the block into a post behind a spoiler. I use the preview function of the board to review the rolls, then submit the post with who notices what. Like this:
Just reply to this post and you should be able to copy the block of formatting.
Cheers!
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
Lol if the group wants me to but to be for warned I roll terrible as you will shortly see when these ogres start whiffing on their attacks :(
Male Half-orc buccaneer | HP 45/45 | Ferocity 1/1 | Knockout 1/1 | Bardic 18/18 | 1st 5/5 | 2nd 3/3
Fortunately, it's the Paizo dice roller and not attributable to a person's luck.
If we were across a table, I would never let you roll for me. ;D
cheers
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
sadly at the table I have a old friend who rolls worse than I...
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
So lets take it to a vote....Who would rather I roll everyone perception checks all at once or do you prefer to roll your own?
Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian (Armored Hulk) 4
You rolling streamlines the game a lot more. When I'm running a game I roll for people when something will or will not happen depending on there roll but not otherwise. For example if someone is sneaking up on the PCs I'll make their perception checks so I can get on with the encounter but if someone needs to make a knowledge (local) check to see if they remember the name of some traveling minstrel then that's there job to roll.
I have included my Perception roll in my header for just such purposes. It also includes any pertinent information if I am lagging during combat.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
well thats three out of seven one more and we will go with that
Male Harrow Elf Swordsman: HP: 39/39 | Challenge 1/1 | Resolve 1/1 | Harrowdream
I'm indifferent. Perception is overused anyway :)
I'm good with you rolling for us.
Litorian Fighter 2/ Inquisitor 2 HP:33/41 AC:20 T:13 FF:17 F:+10 R:+4 W:+6 (+1 fear) Perception:+10 Init:+9
Roll away....tends to speed things up.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
Okay well I will roll them from now on
Male Human Rogue-(Swashbuckler) L1- AC18 (T15F13)CMD17 | Saves: F1 R6 W-1 | HP 10/10 | Perc: +3 (1) | Init: +4(-2) | Status:Lovesick
Go ahead and roll perception for me. Faster that way.
I'm okay with you rolling initiative for me as well.
Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian (Armored Hulk) 4
Sorry guys I'm gonna half to drop this game.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
Wow,Victoria LOL!! your comment on in the gameplay thread just now bout made me spit liquid out my nose....
Doran no worries, if life is getting in the way dont worry about it I picked a big group for a reason if you wind up with free time in the future and want to get back in just message me
*tips hat to LordT* My pleasure.
Sorry to see you go, Billybrainpan. You would have made a lovely meatshield.
Litorian Fighter 2/ Inquisitor 2 HP:33/41 AC:20 T:13 FF:17 F:+10 R:+4 W:+6 (+1 fear) Perception:+10 Init:+9
Yeah, sorry to see Doran go. I was looking forward to hiding behind him. ; )
All kidding aside, I just want to say it seems like we're off to a great start. Things are interesting (I want to know what's in the damn chest!), the characters are great, and we're moving right along at a nice pace. Thanks, again, Lord T, form running the game.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
My pleasure, Bill, been wanting to run this setting for awhile and RL hasn't allowed me to with the group I used to DM for so yeah thats why I figured I would do it on here
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
Can everyone PM your email address I am putting together a map via google docs, need it so I can add you email address as allowed to view and make changes.
Male Half-orc buccaneer | HP 45/45 | Ferocity 1/1 | Knockout 1/1 | Bardic 18/18 | 1st 5/5 | 2nd 3/3
Instead of collecting emails, you can just share it using the link. That's what I do. Then post the map as a link that we can follow. When I GM, I put my links in the Campaign Info tab, as well as round summaries, like this
cheers
Map Fu is something I am lacking, unfortunately.
Male Human 666th Lvl Evil DM
only reason I am asking for emails is cause it allows you to place yourselves where you want to move, also in order to share it and not make it public for god and everybody I need emails to limit who can view
Lord, I understand. But the likelihood that anything negative will happen by posting the link and sharing the file with anyone with the link is small. It's common in my pbp games.
I'll PM you me email.
