Battle for the Underdepths!

I thought I had spent under 4k... the 1410gp listed on the character sheet was what was leftover from the 4k, assuming that the further 2k was invested in a dwelling or something. Have I made a terrible mistake with pricing something?

That was my initial thought, too, but then I noticed you had both a +1 sword and a +1 bow, which by themselves would add up to 4000, so I thought maybe you did it the other way.

So now I'm just confused, I guess. :)

Ok, the way I read it a +1 weapon was the cost of the normal weapon plus 1000... I am obviously wrong. I will re-read and adjust my equipment accordingly :)

EDIT Ha, how I missed that chart on the "magic weapons" page with the prices clearly stated, I have no idea! Lol.

Ok, thanks.

For simplicity and since magic gear is fun I'll still keep it at 4500 gp spendable on stuff, so go ahead and buy a little more if you want to. ;)
Also please note what exactly it is that you own that's worth 1500 gp-- you don't have to go into specific detail, something like "a house" or "a shop" is enough for now.

I tweaked Malagaun's stats a little, reducing his wisdom and increasing his charisma. His flaws are more being weak-willed (easily given to various temptations) and letting his inflated ego color his judgment, than being antisocial or rude. Also picked some property in Torizzod :)

Gah! I had almost finished my character post in the other thread when I got locked out of my apartment. Now that I am back in front of my computer, I see that it restarted and erased all the editing work! NOOOOO....

Well, there's no rush! I'm not even sure when it's going to start, and the first session is probably going to be earlier in the day when you couldn't make it anyway (at least, that's when I've got the most availability right now, so the available times will be biased towards that) so don't worry.

Zzlangcor of House Tzril'mul, a Drow Arcanist [Twlight Sage] will be presetable by Wednesday.

Where are we standing, as far as potential first play time?

sparkletwist · March 17, 2015, 02:53:29 PM

I'm not 100% sure yet, as I'm still preparing, but as soon as we've got a quorum of possible characters-- let's say four-- then I'll start trying to schedule something. It's likely to be at some point in the afternoon US central time, though I'll try to be flexible due to differing player availability.

Edit: New house rule added.
[ooc=Improved Unarmed Strike]
Improved Unarmed Strike also increases the unarmed strike's damage to 1d6 and allows you to make two-handed unarmed strikes for the usual 1.5x strength bonus.

After our IRC discussion, I'm 90% decided on playing a Warder from Path of War, and will have my character up at some point over the next couple of days. Still very much looking forward to this. :)

After talking a bit on IRC with Steerpike, Ghostman, and Xathan, I am getting the feeling this game is going to lean more towards larger set-piece battles on roll20. It is the Battle for the Underdepths, after all. I'm actually pleased with this, as the ability to have crunchy tactical combats is one big reason I wanted to play Pathfinder instead of Fate or some system I generally prefer more. I just want to make sure everyone's ok with this!

Anyway, let's do this. Here's a Doodle! I'll add more days/times later on if nothing works out.
All times are US CDT. Convert time zones here.

I am totally down for massive wars and would hope that in addition to combats with lots of complex characters on the board, we'd also explore the mass combat rules / advice from Ultimate Campaign/ Kingmaker AP. I've very conversant with the ship combat rules from the Skull & Shackles AP, and would if the campaign were to have some set-piece conflicts on the Undersea that used them, I would be extra enthused.

Xathan · March 31, 2015, 08:20:25 PM

I have signed up on the doodle - and since its CST, no time zone worries for me this time. :P

I'd like to handle XP in the following way.

After each session, all players will PM me the amount of XP they think they should get. I'll average them together, along with my own vote, which would be what I'd give you if I were solely in charge of XP-- it will be roughly equal to the amount of XP you'd receive by RAW. That average will be the XP that everyone gets.

If this ends up being too avant garde or bizarre we can drop it.

I'm assuming votes that we should get 1,000,000 xp per session will be discarded as clearly ludicrous? :P

And I think that sounds interesting, so I'm down for that. How will xp be handled for people That miss a week?
