[OOC - Pathfinder] The Fog of War

[Mark Chance]

So what I do is that the DM rolls initiative for the PCs as a group, using their best init mod. When it's the PCs' turn to act, they act in order of posting - first post first served. The DM resolves whatever is needed (such as enemy mortality) after each post, if he gets to it before the others post. Then the NPCs act, and then the PCs, etc.

That sounds like a plan, kinem, although I do prefer to wait until everyone has posted before working on the resolution.

I also prefer that the DM makes most rolls. If the player wants he can roll on IC; otherwise, the DM rolls.

This I'm not as keen on as I don't like taking the time to look up character stats, et cetera. If such information is provided to me, I can handle the dice rolling if necessary or requested.

So, in a bit, I'm going to hop over the IC thread and officially declare the first round of combat started with the PCs getting to go first.

Is there room for another player?

Sure, why not? Head back to the first post of this thread for character specifics. Work out where your character was and what he was doing when the mysterious fog sucked him into a strange new world.

Mark. What's the DC for climbing the train's ladder. Also, is it a move action.

DC 5 as a move action to move 1/4 base speed. DC 10 lets you move at 1/2 speed. It's 10 feet to the top (since the entire world is measured in 5-foot increments ).

Wanted to say I am not *quite* sure I get the character creation rules. I definitely want to make one but I just want to be clear on some things.

This part:

4. Each character receives 5d4+5 points to spend on increasing his basic attributes, bought according to Table 2-1: Ability Score Costs. Use Invisible Castle for this roll as well.

I am not all that clear on that part. Also the thing says out of the Beta, so are the classes on the SDR like the witch and all of those okay? They're on the SDR after all.

Doh! I forgot that this game started with the Beta rules. Give me a day or so to sort things out. I'm a bit under the weather right now due to an infection swelling up part of my face.

Face infection...wow man are you okay? And I can wait, its cool.

I'll live.

Regarding your character, the full PF SRD is available. That doesn't seem unreasonable.

Since the other characters are beta (right?), should they be updated?

The continuation of the game will happen, but probably not today.

I am not sure what the difference between the beta and the full are, that's why I asked. But I am pretty sure the Witch, Oracle and some those classes were added.

The Witch and Oracle classes are part of the Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide, which is scheduled for later in the year. The current classes have been made available for Playtesting. Therefore, its up to Mark as to whether or not to allow them.

BTW. Four APG classes have been released so far. Another two are due for release shortly. The full class descriptions are available in a couple of, free, PDFs. Available from the Paizo site.

There's actually six classes and one revised one:
