So, in the future:
Mazes, boomsticks, portal puzzles, pirates, and manufactured soldiers.
Shady's back, prepare for the madness.

I'll be putting up private threads for you gents in a bit. BUT, having only recently gotten around to crunching numbers on yonder character sheets, I'd like to double check, first and foremost, ability scores. I had not realized the variety of point-buy systems out there- there's actually a lot. I was hoping you guys could holla back, then, on which system you used, and perhaps we can all reach agreement on which we'd all prefer. Usually, I just use this program for calculations, but upon rereading the ol' PRPG, I see that they offer another take on the sitch. ...uation.

Good gravy, it's great to be back to pouring out long posts. You guys ready to get rolled?

[Luchian]

I get the same ability spread whether I use your calculator or just do it by hand from the SRD.

[Moofinity]

I just went by the table in the SRD.

[Chiima]

Long posts yay!

Happy Thanksgiving by the way! I am with family and the cooking and the pie Mmmm.

As for Ability scores, I used the exact same table as Moofinity, but I used the copy of it that's located in the 'Getting Started' section of the pfsrd.

edit: Yep. I get the same numbers using the calculator as well. I put my +2 to any ability score for being human in Strength

[Dragonsnack]

Handy program that!
Anyway, I used the same table as Moofinity. Double-checking with that program got me the same result.

[Inukotsu18]

Good day all! Indeed Thanksgiving is a great time...unless you work retail at a TOY STORE!!

Also, hooray for uber long posts; they're the BEST kind of posts if you ask me. lolz
And it's the same story for me on the calculations using the SRD or the calculator program you posted up. So...yup, I'm good!

[Chiima]

Toy store?? Holy cow! I'm glad you survived.

Anyways, to clarify something, since it has been brought to my attention my dialogue was not as clear in print as in my head...
Imagine in your head Max talking like a boisterous bruiser sort. War movie sergeants. Loud burly well-meaning grunt. She's not smart, she's strong and charismatic.

So when Max says things like 'you're the smallest shortest bunch I've had the opportunity to prove some officers wrong about' - you've got a front-line soldier used to hanging out with half-orcs and swordsmen looking at all this mix of casters, dwarf, and whatnot and thinking 'gosh, we're a bunch of misfits, but we're sure going to prove ourselves to those officers who said we were all about to fail and die and embarrass ourselves.'

So she likes you all because you're her comrades now. Except maybe Callad a bit, because he's bleeding and it reminds her she has to play nurse

[Inukotsu18]

Having Real Life D&D today and then working right off the bat the next morning and then having a B-lated Thanksgiving with family on that evening...and then working in the next morning again and maybe if I am not dead from going every single place in my city, I'll try to post sometime Monday if that's okay.

That's how I interpreted it.

[Chiima]

Excellent Moo I was just nervous, new group and all. Don't want to make the wrong impression ^_^

Itching to post again. I may just jump ahead instead of waiting for everyone to chime in to the conversation if I get too restless, but I can wait a bit longer yet.

[chuckjones]

Woof. I fought the law, and the law... made me complete an online traffic school program, on account of a good record. Really, there were no winners.
Anyways, I greatly approve of the character interactions going down left and right. Good stuff. I'm hesitant to force things along- but then again, you all have swords and fireballs for a reason. Thus: Wrap everything up by tomorrow (Monday) evening (let's say 5 pm, Pacific); hopefully that'll give me time to figure out how to do maps; I'm thinking I'll just scan images that I've drawn, perhaps add a grid overlay when needed. Unless someone has an amazing map program to suggest, that'll prolly be the approach.

Oh, as for the stats: I had messed up in how I counted the racial modifiers. Mah bad. You folks seem fairly with it. Make sure you list your get your main weapons all written down, with correct modifiers.

EDIT: Dagnab. I forgot to save the update to gmail, so anyone anxiously checking in at 5 pm shalt be disappointed. I get back home at 7:30; expect rolling updates. Also, I am apparently having trouble working the secret tags. If you've read someone else's secrets, immediately commit seppuku. That is all.

[Chiima]

I am totally not riding some psychic wavelength in the main thread Saw new posts and went to reply, but it's all secret.

I will find something to post about in the roleplay anyways I guess...

By the way, Luchian, I would love some sort of at least vague description of Cadena. I know from your sheet she is a quadruped with claws, but does she look like an animal we recognize, or what? I"m not sure what my character is seeing, which is why I keep asking more. If I'm missing a descriptor somewhere, apologies, just can't find an appearance for your eidolon anywhere. I would, however, be happy to point you at some fun concept art for freaky creatures if you'd like an idea

PS - Chuck, I find that when I mess up secrets no one sees, rather than everyone Also, I hear that Community supporters and DMs can read all secrets? Dunno for sure, someone may groundtruth that for me
