Story:

Solsken hails from the Northern Country. A bit taciturn at first meeting, he is the friend of any animal, and will warm up to people after some time spent together. He and his animal companion the merlin falcon Stjärna wander the wilds for various reasons-to commune with the Spirits therein, to increase his knowledge of the natural realm, or just to take in the sights. He is not totally averse to city life tho, and has a half-sister in Denmark that he often calls on.
Still working on the spells, depends on what the 1st day is like…question-I should get 7x3=21 skill points, but the program didn’t apparently give me the 3 bonus ones I chose. appleciders: I made one last skill tweak (tho I didn’t add in the extra 3 yet), so this supersedes the PM I sent you. Some people are listing their alignments, some aren’t; how much of an open book should we be to each other? I’m also keeping my main backstory a secret as well. Not sure if ac is interested in or will tolerate in-party intrigue or even conflict-his thoughts on that would be greatly appreciated.

122

Looks good. I’m still waiting on stats from Larry Borgia and stats and story from Calatin.

123

Can’t wait!

This looks like it will be amazing to watch.
I am just now restarting playing the game (every Wednesday night, BYO whatever) with a DM who knows 3.5. I am hoping to get some pointers on play from y’all. I didn’t notice a sorcerer among the team. Did I miss that, or do y’all have enough spell-casters that a sorcerer would be redundant?

127

We do have a sorcerer.

128

We definitely seem to be a rogue’s gallery of misfits and outcasts, don’t we? :smiley:

129

Misfits? Outcasts? Why, sir, the very idea! Your liver must be out of sorts. Here, allow me to prescribe for you - a little muriate of natron should be just the thing. For best results take with food, and don’t try to take the dose as it is; you will find it tastes rather salty, sir. Just one tiny packet three times a day for a week. No, sir, more would not be better. A piece of gold, and that’s a pittance to pay for good health. Sir is unfortunately light in the pocket? Ah well, professional ethics will not allow me to see you suffer. Six silver? Very well, five, and I fear me I shall dine upon gruel yet again, but I shall have made the world a better place and that is worth more than rubies, sir, more than rubies. And perhaps a small box of Cathay Salts for the bowels?

130

:smiley:

131

Muriate of natron, as nearly as I can make out, is table salt. Nicely done.

I found a character gen app called PCGen on Sourceforge, I ran my character through it and got a few minor differences. Do you have a format you prefer? I intend to use this to track my player from now on. If you want a new sheet I will send it to you, otherwise, I’m done tweaking.

133

ISYN, I have seen natrum muriaticum listed as an ingredient in homeopathic medicine. :rolleyes:

(And Granny Weatherwax makes abundant use of “suckrose” and “aqua” in her various remedies.)

134

Send me your final draft. I’ll work from that.

135

So I downloaded the PCGen program that Gospel mentioned (it’s pretty slick) and it turned me on to the fact that the advanced book has a bunch of extra bard stuff in it.

Pardon me while I jump back into my character stuff. My backstory isn’t going to change (at least not substantially or substantively), though, so I’m ready to start whenever.

136

After some discussion with some Pathfinder numberheads, I’m also going to tweak my character a little, swapping DEX and WIS (so now I’ve got 14 DEX 12 WIS). They assure me four rounds of growth are more than enough when the going gets rough since you hardly ever survive more than two anyway, and who am I to argue ? :slight_smile:

137

Pathfinder has so much damned crunch in the character building, even for a low-level PC.

138

I just sent it via pm

139

woo hoo! I contributed. :smiley:

140

With this party, I particularly agree. If the fight goes on for four rounds, you folks are in trouble. The sucker punch will be your best friend.
