Zach R (Co-DM) Wednesday June 15th, 2011 5:13:04 PM
Our boards are setup and looks like recruiting will start next week. Good to hear. I getting really excited about this.
The Gathering Tuesday July 12th, 2011 7:48:23 PM
Welcome Players, as you get access please post chat amongst yourselves, ask questions. One of us will be checking in on the board one a day at least and will try to answer and questions and or add any detail we can to get us off on the best start. We are looking forward to some great games.- DM Dan K and Zach R
Andrew Wednesday July 13th, 2011 7:52:12 PM
Also very excited for this game. I'm in the process of making a half-orc paladin named Gebren.
quick question - we only use the Core Rulebook and the 2 Bestiaries - not the APG?
The Gathering Thursday July 14th, 2011 2:21:44 AM
correct at the moment no APG. it may come to play later and rest assured that your character will be allowed to swap andrefit. but do not assume APG is coming in, it is under review
Zach R (DM) Tuesday July 19th, 2011 10:04:13 AM
Andrew, if you have any questions about your character just let me or Dan K know.
Andrew Tuesday July 19th, 2011 10:46:16 PM
Will do. I've got mechanics and fluff mostly worked out, but I still have some to finish and I have to convert to the character sheet format you guys use. Since this is a long-term character and we're still recruiting (thus I have plenty of time), I'm taking the process extra slow.
I do actually have a question. Gebren, as a half-orc, treats exotic weapons with the "orc" descriptor as martial weapons. However, in the Core Rulebook, racial exotic weapons are scarce indeed. Is it possible to design my own orc exotic weapon as long as it matches the stats of an existing exotic weapon? I understand this could be a balancing issue, but was curious as to what you would think.
The Gathering DM Dan K Wednesday July 20th, 2011 1:09:50 PM
something like that, the Wold has a board for and a process. The Black Genie center is where Woldian specific ideas of creation are put through thier paces. As you can imagine with such a large diverse group when it comes to stepping outside of the rules persay we need to be careful to not go too nuts.
that all said, what you'll want to do it hit the Black Genie Center to begin
Andrew Tuesday July 26th, 2011 1:37:14 PM
Just posting to say that I'm still here.
As it turns out, I don't much like the character concept I've come up with. I have a backstory, yet I can't "picture" the character nor define a suitable personality - telltale signs that a concept just hasn't been fleshed out well. And since I still have plenty of time, I started working on another character concept, this time a Wizard with plans to multiclass to Druid and Mystic Theurge, and so far I really like the concept. I'll send you guys an e-mail with ability scores.
The Gathering DM Dan K Wednesday July 27th, 2011 10:23:09 PM
no problem at all Andrew and I would be happy to bat ideas back and forth here if you like
Zach R (DM) Friday July 29th, 2011 4:01:03 PM
Put it here. Ask questions. It's what we are here for.
Also if you go to the Woldipedia, there are a ton of awesome Prestige Classes as well as a few Base classes that are really cool.
Sean Friday August 5th, 2011 1:50:45 PM
So, we're starting out at level 1 correct?
Sean Friday August 5th, 2011 4:13:16 PM
Also, are we using the 30pt system for scores or are we rolling them?
The Gathering DM Dan K Friday August 5th, 2011 7:05:33 PM
Starting at level 1 and using 30 points for ability purchase
Sean Friday August 5th, 2011 7:17:05 PM
Ok, so then we take the average starting gold to buy our equipment, right? I also have a starting outlook for my character, a human ranger with some interesting personality quirks. Also, how would I upload my char sheet to you? just make it in Google docs and make it private or something else? I never really used Google docs before so thats new to me.
Zach R (DM) Saturday August 6th, 2011 12:10:20 PM
Make it public to everyone so other players can view it if they like. You can then upload it into your header for your post. I'll show you how when I am not posting from my phone. Looking over your CS aswell.
Sean 5d6=27 ; Sunday August 7th, 2011 1:50:28 AM
Just in case I need to roll for my starting funds. So if I need to roll for starting gold, Its 270gp, 5d6(27)x10. If I don't, well I'm just glad that the roller seems to like me. Also for adding a link would it be along the lines of this? [url="http://www.site name.com"]Text[/url] ?
Zach R (DM) Sunday August 7th, 2011 8:54:16 PM
I'll have to talk to Daniel about starting wealth.
Zach R (DM) Monday August 8th, 2011 9:48:28 AM
To post your character sheet in your Post Name it should look like this.
{link href="https://charactersheetlinkhere.com"}Character Name{/link} AC 19/11/16 -- DR 2/- -- CMD 16/20 -- HP 30/30
Zach R (DM) Monday August 8th, 2011 12:15:24 PM
For Starting Wealth, roll as normal for your class.
Hey! Monday August 8th, 2011 2:50:01 PM
Hey guys! I think I've settled on a Halfling Sorcerer concept for my character. Rolling for starting wealth (2d6x10) here.
Corey 2d6=6 ; Monday August 8th, 2011 2:52:06 PM
Oops, let's try that again.
Sean (link href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQPKLaiwL8tq0CSa5zX3vPr_X7mCYuXJOFArK870L5M/edit?hl=en_US")Toregan Dondarin(/link) AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 10/10 Monday August 8th, 2011 4:34:58 PM
Excellent! That means my previous roll counts! Also, I could use some help with ideas for my character's background, So if anyone could help me send me an e-mail, or point me to somewhere where we could talk it out. Also, A Composite Longbow with a +1 Str modifier would cost a total of 175 yes?
Sean Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 10/10 Monday August 8th, 2011 4:35:53 PM
damn it i used parenthesis.
Josh 4d6=18 ; Tuesday August 9th, 2011 12:24:27 AM
Hello all, just rolling gold for a rogue.
The Gathering DM Dan K Tuesday August 9th, 2011 8:11:14 PM
As I see it we have the following: Sean is playing a Human Ranger Toregan Dondarin Josh is playing a Minotaur Rogue Corey is playing a Halfling Sorcerer
Sean Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 10/10 Tuesday August 9th, 2011 10:57:55 PM
Huh. I read up on the Minotaurs, so a Minotaur rouge will definitely prove to be interesting to group with.
Josh Wednesday August 10th, 2011 2:51:52 AM
That's the hope.
Andrew Wednesday August 10th, 2011 7:55:56 AM
I'm playing a Human Wizard. (I created a half-orc paladin before, and I'd be glad to play that too if it makes more sense for party balance.)
should have the character sheet up and running by this weekend. sorry for the wait, been busy.
Zach R (DM) Wednesday August 10th, 2011 2:21:26 PM
Andrew, play what you want to... don't feel like you have to feel a certain roll. Groups without much healing can be successful as can groups where everyone can heal.
Play what you want, not what you think we need.
This is a long term campaign, so you have to want to play what you decide on.
Andrew 2d6=10 ; Wednesday August 10th, 2011 3:15:19 PM
that's good advice. I think I'll stick with the wizard.
Corey Wednesday August 10th, 2011 11:28:05 PM
A Wizard! Sounds like an arcane rivalry to me - but we should probably compare our spell lists to avoid redundancy, what do you think?
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 8 -- HP 12/12 Wednesday August 10th, 2011 11:34:58 PM
(sorry for double post, testing character link)
Zach R (DM) Thursday August 11th, 2011 11:43:31 AM
Below is a character sheet template you can use:
To post your character sheet in your Post Name it should look like this.
{link href="https://charactersheetlinkhere.com"}Character Name{/link} AC 19/11/16 -- DR 2/- -- CMD 16/20 -- HP 30/30
MacK Thursday August 11th, 2011 12:00:16 PM
Hello everyone. I'll be rolling up a Centauran Cleric, which also happens to give us some much-needed melee support.
Josh Thursday August 11th, 2011 2:39:12 PM
Isn't Tack's CMB/CMD off? Pathfinder changed the size penalty/bonus for small to -1.
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 11 -- HP 12/12 Thursday August 11th, 2011 2:57:36 PM
Good catch - I don't know how I missed that myself.
The Gathering DM Dan K Thursday August 11th, 2011 7:49:46 PM
Ok continuing our list
Sean is playing a Human Ranger Toregan Dondarin Josh is playing a Minotaur Rogue Corey is playing a Halfling Sorcerer Tack Greenword MacK is playing a Centaur Cleric Andrew is going Wizard ...human? Cory....? Erik...?
who am I missing?
Andrew Thursday August 11th, 2011 8:11:02 PM
Human, named Henrix Sharpsword.
MacK Thursday August 11th, 2011 10:48:40 PM
Actually, I think I'm going to play a barbarian, if it's alright. I'll re-email you with my new stat array (I still want to be a centaur since centaurs are awesome.)
Erik Friday August 12th, 2011 1:37:28 AM
I might give the druid a spin -- I naturally lean toward playing humans.
I just have to make sure I can think of a solid enough druid concept that both fits the setting and can work for me for 20 levels. I do like the non-neutrality of druids in the Wold, so that makes things more interesting to me.
Zach R (DM) Friday August 12th, 2011 7:16:09 AM
Hey guys, if you have questions, still ask them. I am moving today and may not have internet for a bit. Direct any questions to Daniel. I'll still try to answer, but just know I may be a little slow on the response.
Erik Friday August 12th, 2011 3:20:26 PM
So the idea right now is for some sort of Lawful Good druid, a settler from elsewhere, having been sent by his druidic mentor to the region in order to:
Provide counsel to the other settlers in how to tame the local wilderness in mutually beneficial manner. Act as a missionary to "civilize" any primitive local druidic cults. Root out any organized evil immortal or druidic influences on the local wilderness, and coordinate an effort to destroy it.
Some questions I have regarding this are:
Does this idea even work? If so, where should he be from? Would any of the other players like their characters to have been former acquaintances of mine? He could certainly use a partner that could function in a more direct diplomatic manner -- a bard, a paladin, or even a sorcerer might work.
I guess that's it for now, I'll share more of my thoughts later.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Friday August 12th, 2011 3:41:18 PM
Still having trouble with the backstory, but I have Toregan's reason for traveling to Cthonia. Hes a hunter by trade and by lifestyle, so he would be there to hunt big game. He's sure to get a lot of money if he hunts enough of the beasts that live there, maybe enough to settle down early in his life, so that for him, hunting can be a challenge he takes on of his own will, not a necessity of life. He also has a second reason that ties directly into hunting the creature in the Thunderlands. He knows that he is prepared to hunt dangerous creatures, and also knows, that the prospect of land free for the taking will draw many fools who are not prepared to face any dangers lurking there. By hunting the dangerous creatures that live there he will be able to provide safety and security for anyone who travels there as a byproduct of his actions.
Andrew Friday August 12th, 2011 6:09:50 PM
Can clerics in the Wold choose to not devote themselves to any deity or deities?
The Gathering DM Dan K Friday August 12th, 2011 7:54:18 PM
OK let me throw this out there, the opening of the Cthonia game area is going to incorprate why teh PCs are going to Cthonia.
From back story and such, you don't have to get to complex, remember 1st level....generally means young and thus not too much history. Backstory wise the area you want to story yourselves to is Floating City. http://www.woldiangames.com/Woldipedia/index.php/The_Floating_City you can be from the city of course or from nearby wilderness or perhaps the family or your came from much further away, spent every cent to use a magical gateway 'Wold has some of these here and there' to get to teh Float to start anew or what have you.
quick Thoughts Erik... travelling to Floating City puts your druid within easy reach of several 'wild' areas some far more so than others like the Crying Woods that are said to be alive and sentient themselves
Andrew...yes Wold clerics can be non specific The Pantheon Devotee These clerics choose to worship one of the Woldian Pantheon's as a whole, instead of focusing on just one deity. These clerics pick either the Pantheon of the Gods of the World, or the Pantheon of the Gods of Testing. They may choose their domains from any in the core rulebook, but may not choose Woldian unique domains. They must still meet the requirements for alignment based domains. Pantheon Devotee's work to promote the Pantheon as a whole. DM's would prefer teh Pantheon of the gods of the Wold
Sean that works good, I would add you came to teh Float as the nearest location to find out more and to gear up so to speak
Feel free to write any of your histories to entwine so that you know each other or some of you as part of the back story. ex. Toregan is camping one night on his travels to teh Floating City. Druid elders point young druid in the correct direction so that he comes across Toregans camp. they meet have common things and decide to travel together to Float
Andrew Friday August 12th, 2011 8:03:02 PM
Hmm I read about the pantheon devotee but I was wondering if you could go one step further and avoid worshiping any deities, instead devoting yourself to a cause or concept.
PS. Corey, I e-mailed you my spell list.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Friday August 12th, 2011 10:04:16 PM
What are the languages of the Wold? I've checked the Woldipedia, but I can't find any mention of languages. Does the wold use the basic languages as the core rulebook?
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Friday August 12th, 2011 10:51:41 PM
Hopefully the name/sheet link worked...
Question: A minotaur spends fifteen minutes in a bar extolling the virtues of natural strength and minotaurs in particular to a random person. The random man is a Stinger of Jankassis. Would it be in the Stinger's nature to send the minotaur to a land filled with beasts of natural strength that can put minotaurs to shame?
Erik Friday August 12th, 2011 11:45:13 PM
Should we be newly arrived to the floating city, or could we be born and raised there?
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Saturday August 13th, 2011 2:12:34 PM
testing post name.
The new icon for Cthonia is awesome. Who made it?
Ezra, the Second Sunday August 14th, 2011 2:24:37 AM
I have a couple of questions, I would like to play a wizard, or a face rogue. I see that there are both listed already, any issue with so much casting in the group? Next, I see that Centaur's are listed as having minotaur weight capacity, is this an error?
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Sunday August 14th, 2011 2:43:39 AM
We do not have a face rogue. Well, there's a face, but it ain't a pretty one.
Erik Sunday August 14th, 2011 3:19:22 AM
Ezra, hi!
I said I was going to play a Druid but I'm thinking I might just play a Fighter. I don't know if I'm up for all the book-keeping involved with a caster. Sure its easy at low levels ....
Anyway, yeah. Play a caster. I'll play a Fighter. We'll be a team of awesome.
Ezra, the Second Sunday August 14th, 2011 11:13:30 AM
Ok, I'm stating up a human wizard. Next question, are traits from APG in use?
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Sunday August 14th, 2011 11:34:43 AM
APG has yet to be approved for the Wold. So for the moment, anything from the APG can't be used right now.
Ezra, the Second 2d6=9 ; Sunday August 14th, 2011 3:11:52 PM
Roll for gold...
What languages are common where we are/will be? I have a couple of language slots left. Also, is draconic still the language for arcane, or has high woldian replaced it?
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 11 -- HP 12/12 Sunday August 14th, 2011 4:50:54 PM
Ezra, just so you know, we have a Transmuter (Henrix) and a Blasty Sorcerer (Me!) on board already, so you won't be the only one slinging spells. Don't change your concept on my account though, just thought it would be best if we all work together on our spell lists to avoid too much redundancy.
Oh, and I had planned on being a party face, what with my 20 charisma and all - I don't even need to use my magic to charm people!
Ezra, the Second Sunday August 14th, 2011 5:29:38 PM
Glad to hear it... I'm majoring in conjuration with a minor in illusions. So no issues with cross-purpose. And Henrix and I will probably want to share spellbooks soon anyway. I'm still fleshing out a few details on the char sheet.
Is Avenger an available PrC? If so, I want to build my background to head in that direction now.
Ezra, the Second Sunday August 14th, 2011 5:36:33 PM
Which Knowledge skills is Hendrix covering?
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Sunday August 14th, 2011 7:29:19 PM
Toregan only has Knowledge: Nature, and hes going to invest in that so that's one less you need to worry about.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Sunday August 14th, 2011 7:31:51 PM
Scratch that, messed up. He also has Dungeoneering and Geography.
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Sunday August 14th, 2011 7:49:33 PM
Henrix is a booky knowledge freak, so eventually he'll have at least one rank in each one. No worries about party knowledge, just cater your ranks to your concept =) But he will primarily be focusing on Arcana and Religion.
Ezra, the Second Monday August 15th, 2011 1:54:40 AM
Oh, I plan on having a rank in each as well, but since nature and religion are currently covered, then for first lvl i will cover planes and possibly geography.
MacK Monday August 15th, 2011 6:44:14 PM
Sorry, I've been having some Internet problems recently.
I'm still looking at a Centaur Barbarian, and am very happy to have another melee character!
Zach, I'll send you everything soon.
Ezra, the Second Monday August 15th, 2011 7:13:59 PM
So what's the typical posting rate, and has a start date been determined yet?
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Monday August 15th, 2011 8:35:39 PM
I know we're supposed to post exactly once a weekday; there's stuff in the Woldpedia about it. What I'm not sure of is if we'd be penalized or frowned at for making multiple posts in a day, like if two PCs were having a conversation.
(Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 13/13 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 12:32:26 AM
I'm still polishing my fighter up.
His Appearance/History needs some work.
He doesn't have much in the way of helpful skills beyond Profession (Soldier) and a pretty mediocre level of Animal Handling.
If anyone wants to link character backgrounds together, let me know, I'd be happy to try to work something out.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 9:25:35 AM
I'm close to complete, just waiting on a few answers to complete my background and history.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 6:28:41 PM
Okay, I like this sheet better. I have 3 languages to choose, and since I haven't heard anything about Avenger PrC, I wrote the background with that goal in mind. I am open to any suggestions before we start on the character.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 6:38:27 PM
It appears that Toregan, Meranus and Yngvar may have had opportunity to meet on the road and travel to Float City together...
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 8:11:23 PM
I won't deny, it would probably be useful for Toregan to have met someone along the road, if only so he can actually communicate with one of the group.
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 8:41:12 PM
It could work with Meranus. He has to sleep sometime, and if he still gets robbed, at least he'll have had extra time to study the miscreants. The idea of anyone killing him in his sleep has probably never occurred to the minotaur...
Oh, and Sean - Rangers have a d10 HD in pathfinder.
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 9:45:30 PM
Whoops, my bad. I could've sworn it said d8. Guess I misread it.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Tuesday August 16th, 2011 11:27:45 PM
Great so Toregan, Meranus, and Yngvar met at an inn on the road to Float City...
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 2:13:13 AM
Henrix and Tack are childhood friends.
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 2:21:41 AM
My goodness. The awkward silences in our little group are going to be epic.
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 2:29:54 AM
I was bored enough to type up all the wizard class features and throw in a bit of formatting (might have to tweak that a bit)... I'm glad it helped, Ezra. haha
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 3:15:09 AM
yeah, I liked your sheet a lot better, so I stole it... might change the order a bit, get the class features and other srd stuff on the bottom.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 3:15:35 AM
I also tried to minimize the overlap in spells so we can share. wink wink
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 3:25:02 AM
I don't think anyone keeps the sheets the way they get them.
The Gathering DM Dan K Wednesday August 17th, 2011 9:22:09 AM
hey guys sorry about the gap here
When the game starts, sltaed for Monday but if everyone has PC's fully ready we will go earlier. I will be going through t Sheets today Posting is 1/day when the game is on. Everyone should get each others email so you can discuss ideas tactics and such when the game is going this board is only for posting actions languages are common Core book save that of Tauric for all the Taur creatures. Minotaurs cannot speak common by default
We want to keep posting to a 1/day type thing (Sometimes the DM will post an exception to this) to allow for those who simply cannot because of time access or what have you post more often. Experieince has shown that players tend to feel left out as it were if they go to post and 3 others have had a back and forth for 3-6 posts. Also it can very suddenly create alot of back reading to catch up.
Toregan, Meranus, and Yngvar met at an inn on the road to Float City Henrix and Tack
On the gods of Testing....I need to re aquaint myself Ill do that and get back to teis topic
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 3:01:06 PM
Tell me if there's any problem with Henrix's equipment... he's cutting it very close to medium load, and he has a lot of gear that's not given a RAW weight... if there's a problem I'll reduce the gear rather than take the speed penalty.
I will make minor revisions/additions to fluff (appearance, history, personality) as I come up with it... obviously this is an ongoing thing even going in the game.
Beyond that, character sheet is good to go and I'm ready when you are. =)
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 10/12 -- HP 8/8 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 4:46:09 PM
Let's just hire a porter to carry the luggage...
(Josh) Meranus Stormhorn AC 16/12/13 -- CMD 18 -- HP 15/15 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 4:56:16 PM
That doubled weight thing for large creatures is brutal, considering large size only increases your carrying capacity by 50%. His adventurer's outfit is 16 pounds by itself!
(Sean) Toregan Dondarin AC 17/14/13 -- CMD 17 -- HP 9/9 Wednesday August 17th, 2011 5:02:26 PM
Yeah, I mean a porter costs, what, 1 silver a day since they would be classified as untrained laborers? 3 gold for a month of someone lugging your stuff around. Alternate route, get a cart and a mule, donkey, or horse. Now you have a ride and a place to put your stuff. On second thought, the porter might be classified as a trained hireling because of where we are going, and would probably ask for a decent amount more due to the risk.

I made a slight error with my health because for some reason i read the rangers hit die as a d8 not a d10. I actually have 11 health. Also, I made the edit to my gold, and still have more than ten left over.

We don't even need a porter - a donkey will carry our stuff around for the cost of feed. And that's only if it can't graze on the way, which will usually be the case.
(Ezra, the Second) Yngvar Hefnd AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 12 -- HP 8/8 Thursday August 18th, 2011 1:12:03 AM
While that's true, a pony costs 30g, plus equipment. A trained hireling will cost that much for 30 days, and cook meals, do the laundry, etc An untrained porter can be had for 3 months for the same cost.
(Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Thursday August 18th, 2011 1:40:59 AM
Maybe our characters should have this argument, lol
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 11 -- HP 12/12 Thursday August 18th, 2011 1:54:04 AM
(this is more-or-less in-character ;) ) So your argument for hiring a porter is that we can pay 30gp for a pony now, or pay infinity gp for a hireling? Also, the SRD lists a donkey as 8gp, rather than 30 for a pony.

"I'm heading to the wildlands, and the human that told me about it mentioned a whole lot of mesas and plateaus.... that means climbing. If need be, I can make multiple trips with different loads. I'd rather not make that same trip with a panicking four-legged over my shoulders. Beasts of burden bind your steps."
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 11 -- HP 12/12 Thursday August 18th, 2011 5:03:48 AM
"Surely you've never traveled with a donkey in tow - I assure you, there are few more surefooted creatures in the world than the ass, a plains horse can't begin to compare. Also, if it's climbing you're worried about, then how would you expect an untrained human to keep up with us on a sheer cliff, all the while carrying our excess gear? No, if we're carrying extra gear, I daresay we'll be sticking to the foot paths one way or the other."

Sorry for lack of posting over the past week. I just moved my family from Virginia to Mississippi. Do not expect to start with someone in your employ. You will be able to RP it out in game if you like. Just keep in mind, it is rarely a good idea to bring wit you on a trip, more than you can carry. If you're porter gets scared and runs off, or your donkey is killed, or you come to a place that won't allow them. You get the idea.
Regarding languages, Stand languages plus Tauric. There is also a High Woldian but your characters would not have a way of knowing it as it is a mostly dead language that takes years of studying to learn.
For those of you who may have emailed me in the past week and not gotten a response... my apologies, please resend them and I'll get back to you. It won't happen again.
I'm going to get started on the checking Character sheets now. (Andrew) Henrix Sharpsword AC 12/12/10 -- CMD 11 -- HP 10/10 Approved by Daniel.

What is your Bloodline? (Erik) Leonan Songsteel AC 21/13/18 -- CMD 19 -- HP 13/13 Approved by Zach
Corey Tack Greenword AC 14/14/11 -- CMD 11 -- HP 12/12 Thursday August 18th, 2011 7:32:19 PM
If a bloodline isn't specified, default to the Arcane bloodline - that's how I have a familiar.

I just want to apologize again for my lack of a character sheet. I'm going off to college tomorrow and there have been a lot of last-minute things that need doing.
I have all the mechanics and am just working on transcribing his story. I thank you for your patience.
The Gathering DM Dan K Thursday August 18th, 2011 10:11:49 PM
Its ok Mack. with 6 approved and Mack just needing to transcribe and set his guy up, I think we are good to go for a Monday start.
Official DM Declaration
Zach and I are not perfect and some things are going to go awry, interpretations, misclues, missed bits and so forth. Assuming it is not a grand screw up of biblical proportions it is our intention to not back up but be adults and move forward striving to not make that mistake again. the goal is to not bog down action. This site is about fun and being a hero. I tend to give the heroes the benefit of the doubht If you don't post it, we will not be assuming you did it. Perception checks, stealth checks, knowledge checks searching for traps and all that good stuff. non combat posts can be several minutes of actions. Combat are strictly 1 round at a time unless expressly altered. Try not to If then us and your fellow players to death generally DM's will take actions in the order they are posted Zach and I rotate every few weeks. I tend to post b/t 830 and 10pm new york time, not sure where Zach's time will fall
questions thoughts concerns or general complaints?
The Gathering DM Dan K Thursday August 18th, 2011 10:12:56 PM
it was asked and so here it is. Stephen Flemming, Former Woldian is the creator of our and all the other icons on the site

After re-reading the woldpedia, I've added a section to my character sheet for the auto-usage of hero points. Basically, the only defense Stormhorn has against stunning, sleep and holding is his bull-headedness.
Zach R (DM) Friday August 19th, 2011 11:50:13 AM
I am on CST, not sure when most posts will come. I'm guessing early afternoon say 1-4pm CST, but I'll no better in the coming weeks.
I agree with everything Daniel said about our approach to posting.

Speaking of college, I'm starting back up tomorrow (PST) as well.

I don't know why, but I never rolled for gold, instead taking the average. My sheet is done, but I might have to sell my stuff if I roll bad.
MacK d6=5 ; d6=4 ; Monday August 22nd, 2011 12:48:02 AM
Let's try rolling 3d6... Well, 2d6 now

[ instead of { (don't shift). It's basic html, as far as I remember. Also: there's a type in the end of it - you're missing the part of the last bracket - {/link} before you swap out the characters.
Grats on the first day. :)
