Airwalkrr's Age of Worms

[Olaf the Stout]

Any further updates? I will probably be offline for most of the weekend and therefore unable to post.

I'm gonna start looking at your characters right now. I'll leave a post afterwards if I see anything that needs fixing or if I have any ideas for tying your character to the campaign more.

I'm very sorry for the delay. I have a chronic health problem that has been more of a bother this month than usual, but I am fairly stable right now.

[sblock=Manzanita]Solomon Kreel looks pretty good. The only issue is that you seem to have assumed maximum possible starting wealth. I use average wealth for this campaign. Rangers get 150 gp. Please take a look at the attached file and let me know if anything is amiss.[/sblock]

[sblock=Someone]I've taken a close look at Norbac and a few things need fixing. First of all, I need an age, height, and weight. I prefer these be determined randomly but as long as it is in the acceptable range for your race, it is ok. You do need to begin at adult age however. Second, since you are 1st level, the highest level maneuvers and stances you may learn are 1st level. Burning blade is 2nd level so you will need to select something else in its place. I will also need a list of readied maneuvers for the start of the game. Assuming your character has time, you can change these whenever you wish. Just let me know via a private post within an sblock when you wish to do so. Third, take note of an email I sent regarding Shadow Blade. I believe you will like it. Finally, I would like to work your character into the setting via the Twilight Monastery. As a worshipper of Xan Yae, it is a perfect fit. Take a look at it in the player's guide, as I will be introducing some of those elements to you and it would be beneficial for you to learn some it ahead of time. Could you also take a quick look at the stat block I wrote to check for erros? Thanks.[/sblock]

I'll get to the rest of you in time. I promise this campaign will start and it will be smoother once it has. I just want to make sure everything is in order before we begin so I can make this the best experience possible. There are some things I never did with the RL AoW campaign I ran that I wanted to correct this time around and you have all created such intersting characters that I want to do your hard work justice.

[sblock=Airwalkrr]I forgot the age, weight and height. I described Norbac as short and slim; if you don't mind I'd settle for 5'4'', 126 lbs, and 21 years old. I can't think on any mechanical benefit of choosing height and weight, but will roll them if you want.
Burning blade is a 1st level strike: You may have mistaken it with burning brand, which is the next maneuver in the Deser Wind list and is indeed 2nd level.
About the readied maneuvers, I'm used to post prepared spells and such in the first post IC; it's the way I've seen it done in many pbps I've played before. Also I prefer to keep continuously changing information out of the player character sheet. In any case, if you need it, readied maneuvers are: Burning blade, Shadow blade technique, Stone bones and Clinging shadow strike. Island of blades is the only stance, so I'll be using it most (if not all)of the time.
I'll have a look at the player's guide.
The only "error" I can see in the stat block is that dagger damage and unarmed strikes should have the bonus granted by Shadow Blade; damage therefore should be +4, not +1 (actually, the damage bonus is +4 only when Norbac is using a Shadow hand stance, but since the only one he has is Island of blades, it'll be exceedingly rare he won't have the damage bonus)
Edit: Also, thrown dagger attack bonus should be +0 Bab +3 Dex +1 Weapon Focus, so it should be +4, not +3.

We are all eager for the game to start, but take your time if you ened. It's not that pbps go quickly; in the long run one week or two won't matter much.

No problems airwalkrr. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I was still interested in playing more than anything else.

Airwalkrr. It's a good sign that you're sticking with this game despite these initial setbacks. I'm psyched to play it. Thank you for your persistance.

Looks like you modified my CS to fit your profile. As such, I'll just note the minor changes I need to make.

Solomon Kreel [sblock]
Drop chainshirt, add Studded leather
Drop longbow, add shortbow
Add waterskin

This gives the following adjustments to the CS as you have it.
Weight: Decreases by 2 lbs
Gold: Total gps spent drops by 119, leaving him with 29 in the bank. He'll keep that on his person in the form of 1 pp, 8 gps, and 10 sps.
Armor class decreases by 1
Armor check penalty decreases by 1.
range dmg decreases to 1d6, range mod decreases from 100' to 60'

Think that will do it. Thanks![/sblock]

[sblock=Someone]Yea I must have mixed burning blade and burning brand up. No problem. You can feel free to change info on your char sheet. I just like to keep track of my own copy for my use because of the way I run combat (will be explained later). I didn't include the damage modifier from Shadow Blade since it is a conditional modifier, but I included a note on it now in the block. Take a look.[/sblock]
