Dj'hân just hit 3,090 experience. So are we using the 3.5 leveling guidelines or some slower Pathfinder variant? I'd just like to know whether we should level now or later.

I never asked about starting experience - just assumed HM and I would start at the bottom of second. May we start with equivalent to Brendan and D'jhan? Sounds like beginning of second would put us significantly behind at this point.

There are rules for catchin up with XP so that those of lower level get increased amount...it's in DMG 3.5 somewhere...

Dj'ahn, in principle, I don't mind if dragon get part of the money, but you may consider him to be cohort or follower so he gets only 1/2 of what you get...I mean, he is useful, giving you flight, spells etc, but we need magic items and money for child support But, how will we RP that part I have no idea since Edmond doesn't really care about money.

I'm using Pathfinder Fast Experience, which means you need 3300 to reach Level 3. So, not yet!

I think I mentioned starting XP for Brindom and Manachan somewhere, but for now let's assume that they have just hit 3000 each with this latest award. It costs no extra to include Majenko in the XP totals as well (same for 4 or 5 characters). Assume 3000 for him, which buys off his two hit dice of Dragon and, I believe, he then has an LA of +3 to buy off. Unless they do it different in Pathfinder, I'll research that.

[waxing poetic]Woe is me... Alas, someday I will reach 3rd level... [/waxing poetic]

In a way it seems that Dj'hân should be Majenko's cohort rather than the other way around considering that the pseudodragon's ECL of 5 beats Dj'hân's ECL of 2.

"Fast" progression seems to be slower than normal 3.5 progression! Actually, it's the same from 4th onwards, Paizo seem to have stuck an extra 300XP requirement on the first couple of advancements, I guess to string out those precious early levels

You know what? Sod Paizo, I'm sticking with 3000 XP for level 3, so I you've all levelled. Djahn and Edmond have whatever XP they've earned. Brindom, Manachan and Majenko are currently on exactly 3000.

You're not far off anyway, and it's a better point in the adventure to do it rather than the next opportunity to gain 300 XP....

I wasn't actually angry, just kidding around. But thanks for that; I've never been in a campaign that lasted long enough for PCs to gain two levels before. It's nice to have finally made it past the 2nd level barrier. Huzzah!

Keep up the great work! Kudos

Edit: How do we handle rolling for hit points again?

Ambrus, no, it's not a big deal re: XP totals but it makes more sense for your characters to level up now than at the next opportunity to gain 300 XP. And you might need it...

HolyMan: Yes.

Hit points: You can roll them yourself on Invis Castle, or ask me and I'll roll 'em.

I got one on my roll Edmond is updated, needs only skill distribution. I'm not sure how many skill points I get. Base 2 +2 from int +1 from human +1 from favored class? (I don't have PF at home so it's guess work and I won't be at work for the rest of the week.)

Yes, or you could add +1 to hit points instead.

Favored class could give you an additional HP instead of a skill point.

If you have internet access at home Paizo has an online reference that's excellent.

Mowgli - I notice in the PF bestiary preview that Tieflings get a feature called "infernal sorcery". A tielfling sorcerer with the Abyssal or Infernal bloodlines casts all spells as if their Charisma as 2 points higher. Without seeing the final details, it would make sense to me to allow the same effect for an Aasimar sorcerer with the Celestial bloodine.

I did take one extra hit point, I didn't realize they are mutualy exclusive. Since human with fair int gets minimum of five skills points, that one is more for reference use I'll check the link when I get time...

Nice! I'm getting limited on hard drive space, so I haven't downloaded the previews (waiting on the full version later this month - hopefully). I'll adjust the save DC for his spells when I update his sheet this evening.

Just what the Dr ordered!
