EDIT:  I swapped Gnome out for Sylvan in his auto languages, b/c the SRD specifically says that Leprechauns speak Sylvan.  Gnome is now a possible bonus language.
Makes sense. I'll PM you Ádhúil's info soon probably, if I can figure out what it should be.

Where's Schiezek? I PM'ed him, but no answer yet, though the profile says he's been "last active" since.

Littha, are you getting anywhere with Mystery's background?

Yea, have it pretty much finished but keep making minor alterations to it. Wasn't going to update it until we actually started because I am still not happy with it but I will fill it in later today when I get home.

So... I'm considering changing to a different weapon. Initially I went with the greataxe because I thought it sounded fun, and I was tired of always going with a guisarme. I'm not feeling the love for the axe now, though, and am considering swapping to a greatsword or heavy flail. What's the chance I could get a daily Greater Mighty Whallop from someone if I went with the flail or other bludgeoning weapon?  :D

Hmm... there is supposed to be a 2d6 20/x3 martial two-handed bludgeoning weapon called the Earth Breaker in Pathfinder's "Rise of the Runelords" adventure, but I don't own that. Is it OK if I go with that? It's basically like a bludgeoning version of the greataxe. (I don't know why the greatclub sucks so bad in the srd. It should really be a simple weapon.)
I don't pee messages into the snow often , but when I do , it's in Cyrillic with Fake Viagra.  Stay frosty my friends.

Not really... Its 2d6 /x3 and a great axe is 1d12 /x3. It seems like a bludgeoning mix between a greataxe and a great sword (2d6 19-20/x2).

Mine will be large, anyway. Both 1d12 and 2d6 scale up to 3d6. So it is kind of a moot point. :p

So, apparently I forgot to post this, but I've been trying to PM everyone something that their character knows but most people don't.

However, some characters have gotten better secrets than others, simply because of my erratic inspiration, and I am not sure what to do about that.

Incidentally, don't worry about keeping it secret once the game starts, unless your character would. I just thought everyone should have the option, and some characters seem like they wouldn't tell 'til they had a reason to.


Littha, I do not know what secret to PM you for Mystery, because pinning down any of her backstory does not seem right.


FireSky,  I do not know what secret to PM to you for Adhuil; his background hasn't given me any ideas yet (erratic inspiration).
Anything occur to you?

Hmm unintended side effect, It was a pain to write something that vague but still have some sort of personality to it in the first place. She wanders around a lot so any secrets she actually has are likley to be from that rather than any important aspect of her background.

Is Okelys (plane of shards) something like the Plane of Mineral?  If so, it could make sense that Adhuil knows something about it, like the location of a portal to it, or some other way to access it regularly.  Or maybe something specific about the plane itself, like some unusual feature?

Or maybe this helps:  I pictured his village as being kind of in the middle of nowhere, with the landscape and weather sort-of Northern California-ish.  When he left, he would have only had a general direction towards a larger city, and would basically have been wandering by himself.  It could be that in his travels he stumbled across some hidden/forgotten/lost portal/relic/ruin.

Indeed.
I'd describe it as like what you'd get if you took the plane of earth and shattered it.

Why would he know something about it?

I dunno.  Leprechauns & gold (or gems or whatever)?  I was just throwing out an idea.  I'm not really sure what kind of secrets you're going for, so it was just something that came to mind.

Right, secrets done.


Anyone know how to contact Schiezek?
He doesn't seem to read PMs or this subforum.

Hate to say it, but we may need to move on without him for now. Maybe you can introduce him later on if he shows up again?

Prob'ly will have to do that, though his profile says he's been on the forum lately even though he's not posted anything, so he might still be around.

I had never seen him around before this game.

I really can't wait for this thing to get going. I am still quite enthusiastic. :D

Is Ádhúil's text too similar to Loptr's text?  Phae, i think the glow you had in your character sheet was teal.  Did you want to switch back to that?  Shall I switch to straight-up green?  Are they dissimilar enough to stay as is?


Also, just fyi, my work schedule for the next month or so is such that I can't really post during the day.  I can pretty reliably post in the morning and evening (EST), but Mon-Fri, it's not usually much more than that.  Weekends I'm online more.
