Serpent’s Skull, Pathfinder 1e

[Darcstaar]

Hi people.

Im going to start another PBP.  So far I have interest from @ShadowRaven, @dwarvenranger, @Dilvish the Deliverer, and @Kangaroorex.

 

We’re going to start the Serpent’s Skull adventure path.  Pathfinder 1e.

 

All books are in play, but I reserve the right to veto something if it seems too gross/bloated.

 

Please utilize the Serpent’s Skull Players Guide from the Paizo website.

 

Abilities: 4d6, reroll all 1’s, drop lowest score, yielding ranges from 2-18 pre mods.

 

Avg. Starting gold.

 

We’ll follow the AP leveling track when possible.

 

We’ll have individual initiative.

 

I hope to get this started soon, so please post those characters.

House Rules

1. HP beyond first level.  Roll the hit die.  If the roll is less than”avg” then take avg instead.  Example: Wizard d6.  Rolls a 1.  Gets 4hp instead, before Con mod.

2. Acrobatics can be used to avoid AOO when standing from prone.

3. If someone is not responding and action is waiting for them, I’ll send a pm after 24 hours.  If no response 24 hours later, I’ll take over that character to get action rolling again.

House Rules

[Kangaroorex]

I'd be careful with that, the last time I opened up character generation, I got BoDeep Swamphopper: Grippli paladin on his giant dragonfly.  Surprisingly, it was amazingly effective... but I still don't think you want to go there

 

I'm up for it!  Anyone have preferences?

I try to make it a point to play something I haven't played before so right now I'm looking at a shaman.  It seems very versatile so I should be able to fill many different roles.

[haldir]

I'm interested. I just wanna play something right now. I'm not sure what, maybe a paladin.

Funny!

[dwarvenranger]

Thinking either a unchained monk or a freebooter ranger.

[ShadowRaven]

I have no preferences.  So I'll hold off and plan to gap fill in one form or another

[Darcstaar]

All some very interesting ideas.

[haldir]

Waffling between a halfling paladin & catfolk (unchained) cat burglar. I am going to get the trait, Boarded in Mwangi Expanse. I like the idea of the jungle being "normal" to my character + the bonus Polygot language is one I was wanting to get anyways.

 

[Darcstaar]

So far....

Shaman

Paladin or Burglar

Monk or Ranger

undecided

undecided

[Dilvish the Deliverer]

Trying to decide on my Spirit.  Looking at a few (Lore, Water, Flame), , or going Unsworn.  Unsworn gives me great flexibility but cost leaves me at -1 hex compared to all of the other spirits.  Kind of learning to Unsworn for the flexibility

[haldir]

Ok here is the catfolk rogue (cat burglar)

Working on the halfling paladin. I'll see what I like better or what fits better for the group.

[ShadowRaven]

I've got ideas for a magus or a rogue, or a paladin.

[haldir]

Ok here is the other option. I said paladin, but after seeing the picture of the Order of the Paw in the Adv Race guide, I had to make one of these guys, thou it was cavalier vs paladin. I've never played a cavalier before (D&D any edition) so this will be a challenge. He is more or less a spoiled nobleman with a heart for halflings (& somewhat others) in distress, especially females!!

@haldir yes, you can take Rich Parents.  Tell me a little about you family’s social standing, lineage, etc.

 

How much does all this gear weigh?  I don’t see a total lbs.
