Murder's Mark, Pathfinder 1st Edition

[Darcstaar]

Hi everyone.

In light of additional free time, I'd like to start another PBP.

Maybe I'll be able to get prior ones going again, if people are interested.

We'll be doing Murder's Mark.  A Pathfinder Module for four 1st level characters.

 

From www.paizo.com

An urban mystery adventure for 1st-level characters.

Everyone in the fishing town of Ilsurian is excited when the legendary Umbra Carnival rolls into town—even if the show is run by members of the much-maligned Varisian ethnic group. With strange and exotic beasts, scandalous performances, games of chance, and all the other fun of a traveling fair, who could resist such an opportunity for entertainment?

Unfortunately for both the town and the circus, however, entertainment isn’t the only opportunity the carnival presents. 

 

 Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Race Guide are OK.

 

Character Generation:

Attributes: 4d6, reroll all 1's, drop lowest die.  This will yield attribute rolls of 6-18.

Average Starting Gold for class.

Alignments: LG, NG, CG, LN, TN.

 

The hope would be that once we finish this one, we'll be able to start another with the same characters...

[ShadowRaven]

I'm interested.

[Colonel Kane]

Hey I will sign up I figure I got a few level one characters floating around, however if you get three more I can always bow out. 

[Darcstaar]

Post up characters!

[ImperialOfficer]

I'm interested, however I have no experience with pathfinder. Is there anywhere online that I can learn the rules?

[Darcstaar]

Do you have the core Rulebook?

 

If not, the rules were posted here.

 

http://legacy.aonprd.com

 

Focus on the Core Rulebook.

I always tell people if it’s your first foray into Pathfinder/DND, fighter is a good first class.  It’s a little more complicated with all the feat choices, but for first level it’s easier than worrying about spells and class features.  Since this will be first level, we can definitely use it as a teaching forum for you.  If you’ve played DND 3.0/3.5/4/5th editions, you will know how to play Pathfinder.

I may be interested in this one, kinda of a refresher on Pf 1 rules again.

 

I think I might look at the Oracle. I'm not sure of race.

 

[Darcstaar]

So, that’s 4.  Please work on characters and try to post up in the next few days.  I’d like to get this going soon.  @ImperialOfficer feel free to ask questions here, or PM me.

[haldir]

Ok, re-installed Herolabs Classic. I think I'll make up a Aasimar Oracle for this one. I'll work on it today & hopefully get it up later tonight.

Ok. I've played one game of 3.5 and a lot of 5e, so hopefully it won't be too hard.

[Darcstaar]

You’ll pick it right up.  Much closer to 3.5 than 5.  More math/bonus/penalty tracking than 5e.

If you've played 3.5, then you'll get Pf 1e. It's more or less D&D 3.75. Paizo took some of the rules & refined them but overall kept the game as it was.

Ok, using Hero Lab Classic:

I don’t see Hero Labs mentioning it, but you have an extra HP.  So, I’m assuming “Favored Class: Oracle +1 HP?

 

Also, Religion Traits mention being tied to a particular deity.  Divine Warrior lists Lawful Good, being trained by militaristic clerics of a particular deity.  But that kind of seems a little off for an Oracle.  Does your character worship a single deity?  I’ll allow it if you fit it into the back story...
