[Pathfinder] Burnt Offerings

[jkason]

jkason--your suggested changes for Tac are all reasonable. Go for it.

Cool. I think Tac should be all done, then.

The game is now officially open and ready for your posting pleasure.

CB's Pathfinder Beta -- Burnt Offerings

 

[Ambrus]

I really like the evocative introduction and the dialogue between Elyra and Tac. It feels like there's some genuine familial affection there. All in all a great start. Kudos.

CB, I imagine that the Pathfinder module includes some spiffy artwork of NPCs and notable locations. Might it be possible for you to share it with us when appropriate, perhaps by scanning and posting images to the game thread? Pretty please?

What, no puppy dog eyes?

I'll do my best. My Web-fu seems to be a bit lacking these days--several key features that ENWorld used to boast (notably, thread downloads) seem to be lacking in the new php platform that ENWorld now uses. I also had to get a new computer back in September--our old computer had its motherboard eaten by the combination of Hawaiian sea air and months stuffed in a shipping crate when we moved. I lost quite a bit of material and software when the old computer's motherboard rusted.

What I may do is "cheat" and scour the Web to see if somebody else has already scanned and cut down to the size some of the portraiture in the module. If I'm going to post art, I don't want to post hog-sized pictures in the threads. I'll aim for compact.

Apologies if I'm dense, but did Talashia wind up coming to Sandpoint alone, or does she have someone who's assocaited with her there too?

I'd been waiting for you or one of the others to definitely state that you had traveled together, but no one seems to have spoken up in point-blank fashion. Probably the best thing to do would be to just go ahead and post in a singular fashion in the IC thread, and then later if you've worked it out with someone (the cleric and/or the paladin come to mind) to have traveled together, you can write it into the IC that you "meet back up after having been separated for the day."

Looking around a bit, this site seems to have what you're looking for.

[sblock=Walking Dad]Old man with a stick: Get outta my yard, you kids who ain't Walking Dad!!![sblock]Yay! Almost ready to play! Here are my questions regarding Sivan. Thanks for waiting for me to get to you.

1. Even accounting for the +2 to Strength that you selected as your ability score boost for being human, I calculate that you've spent 18 points building Sivan's ability scores. Let me know if you feel I've got this wrong, but if I'm right, then you're over your allotment by 3 points and will need to get creative about a fix.

2. Let me know why you list Sivan's CMB as +4/+8. I get the +4. I'm not sure why you also have the +8.

3. Just confirming...between the extra skill point or extra hit point for taking a favored class, you went with the extra hit point, right?

4. Sivan's character sheet lists a +1 Misc modifier on his Will save. Why?

5. The background you wrote for Sivan supports the idea that he'd know Varisian. Since I declared a few posts up that Varisian is a freebie for humans who are of the Varisian sub-race, you get Varisian for free. Let me know how you allocate his third language.

6. How'd you get three feats? I count one for being first level and one for human. Not sure where the third feat is coming from. Let me know.

7. Diplomacy looks like it should be +6, not the +5 you have listed on Sivan's sheet.

8. You also get more money. Paladins in PF beta use 5d6 x 10 for their starting gold. Since we're going with max gold, that's 300 gp. I calculate that you've spent 219 gp, which means you should have 81 gp left, not 21 gp.

9. Since renau1g elected to forego this game, we no longer have Chaine as a character. You'll need to amend your background for Sivan. I'd also like you to include a tidbit explaining how Sivan fits in with the group (if he doesn't know anyone yet, that's okay, but you need to clarify), and why he's in Sandpoint. Let me know.

1. I listed the point cost behind the abilities:
Str: 16 +3 (5p.)
Dex: 13 +1 (3p.)
Con: 14 +2 (5p.)
Int: 12 +1 (2p.)
Wis: 10 +0 (0p.)
Cha: 14 +2 (5p.)

5 in Str are 14 +2 racial

2. +8 defensive from the 'Defensive Combat Training' feat.

3. Yes, I took the extra HP.

4. County Born Trait. Will be deleted as you are not giving a free trait.

5. Would like to take celestial.

6. County Born Trait. Will be deleted as you are not giving a free trait.

7. You are right, should be +6

8. Oh... will pehaps upgrade the equipment a bit. Thanks.

9. Would like to stay with my background. Chaine would become a very minor NPC and (an excuse for) Sivan's my connection to Shayuri's character.

Wis: 10 +0 (0p.)
Cha: 14 +2 (5p.)

5 in Str are 14 +2 racial

It still adds up to more than the allotted 15 points that I gave everyone. You spent 5 points to get a 14 Strength, to which you then added +2 (no problems there, you can do that because you're playing a human), you spent 3 points to get a 13 Dex, 5 points to get a 14 Con, 2 points to get a 12 Int, no points on Wis, and then spent 5 points to get a 14 Cha. 5 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 5 = 20 points. Again, aside from the +2 to Strength, you still seem to be over the limit. Let me know what, specifically other than Str, I might be missing.

9. Would like to stay with my background. Chaine would become a very minor NPC and (an excuse for) Sivan's my connection to Shayuri's character.

I can do that, sure. If you have any ideas about Chaine, let me know so that I can include your ideas in my work-up of Chaine as an NPC.

Ambrus, is your collie sable or tawny?

I just noticed that you used the term "sable" in your first post in the IC. I'd had it stuck in my head ever since character conception that the collie is a tawny lion-colored beige, and posted the word "tawny" in my reply to Taran's quest for food.

I see that you played off my use of tawny, which was kind of you, but if you'd rather the collie be sable, let me know.
