For anything that might or might not pertain to the game.

Tilt, would you allow me to come in with a trained animal?  If so, I'll be shifting my skill points around to Handle Animal and Ride.

I was thinking either a Hippogriff or Pegasus.  I would buy the young (3k gp either way) and train it for Combat Riding myself, using the Riding Bracers and a mwk tool to get a total of +15 on my Handle Animal check so I could take 10.

I'd then swap the Sphinx Claws for Riding Bracers in everyday use.

The only difficult part would be if you said a Pegasus started as unfriendly, in which case I couldn't make it friendly (my max wild empathy for a magical beast is +2).  If it started as indifferent it would still be difficult.

...and lol, no fleshraker.  I need something that can fly   This is cheaper than a magic item, and it can fight.

EDIT: I just realized I asked about animals, not magical beasts... hopefully this will be ok.

EDIT2: And would I be able to pick its feats?  I'd prefer a Peg, and if changing my alignment to good would help I can easily do that.

Just remember to stay within its flying carrying capacity
Goliaths are pretty big guys and all that, and I don't know how much gear you're dragging along with you

[sirpercival]

Neither do I, I still have to spend my gear.  But almost certainly I will have a Haversack^TM.

[Tiltowait]

Pegasus isn't an animal, but go ahead.

[sirpercival]

Sweet.  Thank you.

I shall call my horsey Dave and he shall be my Dave horsey.

This is probably a silly question, but are we messing with food and or water?

I hope we don't all have to buy a magic spoon. . . .

[sirpercival]

Tilt, can you give some kind of background on what this campaign is going to be like?  Hack'n'slash, rp, etc?

[Tiltowait]

For food and water, unless you're going into a desolate region for an extended period you should be able to simply pack enough to not worry about it.

In terms of the campaign, I have a general overview of the first part of it but its style depends on the sort of party people made. Currently that's two different Fighters, a Warmage, and two different Warlocks if I'm not mistaken along with a Rogue that might want to join still since there's an opening. That biases things rather heavily towards combat from what I can see.

With Beguiling Influence, I'll be perfectly happy as a Face most of the time.  I'll be competent as an archer (to certain values of 'competent'), but I'm not sure I'd call my set-up "rather heavily [biased] towards combat."

[Tiltowait]

Fighters are a pure combat class. So are Warmages. Warlocks are fairly heavily biased towards combat and Rogues moderately biased towards combat. As a whole, the party is very combat oriented. Even if individual members are more or less focused on combat than that.

It's fine regardless. Just the direction the campaign takes depends on the characters and players involved and I'm fine with a rather wide range on the spectrum of combat <===> non combat. As I've already sketched out the general outline of the first arc and much of the details though I'd prefer not to drop below moderate combat as there are some fights involved.

[TSS]

We're just waiting for everyone to finish their character right?

[Tiltowait]

Yes. I think four people have finished already. The other two haven't started yet?

[Tiltowait]

And two people still have no character up and no signs of them about. Not sure what to make of this...

[sirpercival]

Hey Tilt, what do you want in terms of background?  Other than that Bhoom is done.

Working on it. Still very interested.
