I can fix the minor details, but I do need to know what your final skill choices will be.

Grim, Merbak, any sign of life from you guys?

[dabocim]

acrobatics, survival, bluff, climb, craft (if I need a type of craft make it craft weapon), disguise, intimidate, sense motive, sleight of hand, stealth. That sounds like a good skill set for a rouge

[Explosive Cheese]

Hey Dabocim, you realize you created an 18 year old elf? That's... pretty young. I think it's the equivalent of a 4 year old human. Although perhaps a bit more developed physically. If you wanna go with that, I'd probably have to decrease all your abilities by some ammount. Or we could pretend that you're full-grown by that point, but other elves would consider you little more than a child. And have some good laughs in the party. It's up to you (collectively).

[dabocim]

He has some abnormality as to where he matured a little faster than the other little elves. he can't be treated as an adult or child by his own race

[Explosive Cheese]

Hmmm... Okay... I'd like to hear from the others before okaying this, since it is a pretty big discrepancy. But as long as they're fine with it, I'm okay with it. In fact, I like the roleplaying potential, both for the Players and the Characters. Hell, the Players can get make fun of your Player for not knowing that elves are supposed to be older, and then you get to explain and justify it in-character. Could be fun.

By the way, what's your Player's name?

[Explosive Cheese]

Also, you didn't take disable device? Isn't that, like, one of the rogue's most important uses in a dungeon?

[dabocim]

Hmmm... I'm going to have to go with Alex Anderson

[Explosive Cheese]

In addition to my previous question, you also get 2 bonus languages, from your intelligence mod. Which ones would you like?

[Explosive Cheese]

You're up!

Now go make a post in The Players forum, under Alex Anderson, with some background (or placeholder) on Alex (and maybe Altarick too), and include the link.

[dabocim]

what can I have?

[Explosive Cheese]

Dabocim, are you taking elf or half-elf? Your character sheet currently says elf, but your posts say half-elf.

Languages you can take for elf are: Celestial, Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan.
If you're taking half-elf, I need to revise your character sheet, but you can take any language you want, except secret languages.

[dabocim]

I'm taking elf and I will take Orc and Celestial

[Grimtina]

Can'T seem to use the PDf, it keeps crashing on me. Any other way i can get the sheet to youß

[Grimtina]

Err and I had a cat on the lap there

[Explosive Cheese]

Okay, can you give me all the information in a text post here? Then I'll put it into the pdf and host it, so you can link to it in your character thread.

[Shoelip]

Hey, I feel like I can start trying to pay attention to this game now. Besides reading the Pathfinder rules is there anything I should do?

[Explosive Cheese]

Well, obviously start working with Player and Character concepts. And, if you find anywhere in particular in the Pathfinder world (Golarion) that you want to start the game, I'm still open to suggestions. Also, nobody has started to yet, but I thought it would be cool to work out a group history (I figured that this would be a group of gamers that's played together a while).
Really, just toying around with your Player and Character is the most important thing right now.

[Explosive Cheese]

Oh, one thing that I should add, for everybody: This has almost no mechanical usage, but you guys can give your Players (and therefore your Characters too) any Earth language that you feel they would know how to speak (and that you can post in, even if it's through Google translator). English is a freebie for everybody.

You will of course get the full set of in-game languages, and NPCs will only know in-game languages. Earth languages are just for added flavour (and secret communicating that only your group will understand).

[Shoelip]

Hurray for broken Japanese!

I guess my player will be the guy who always over analyzes the situation and thus takes way too long to decide what to do. I'll think some more about it and hopefully come up with something more.

[Explosive Cheese]

Sounds good Shoelip.

Grim, I actually only thought of this now, but you realize you're going to be playing a someone who's not only trapped in a body that's not their own, but a sex that's not they're own? You've got a girl in a guys body, surrounded by three other guys, and the GM. This has roleplay written all over it.

[Explosive Cheese]

Shoelip, I had been planning to start the game off on a combat encounter (that may help you guys get equipped, I'm not sure yet). This encounter would probably be a fairly dramatic one, more challenging than an average encounter.
Since you had mentioned that you wanted non-hack and slash options, do you want me to try and work some non-combat stuff into the encounter? I've got a few ideas if it's important to you.

[Explosive Cheese]

Sorry for the spam posts, but I have one other thing for you to consider Shoelip. As I understand it, we have so far a rogue, sorcerer, and I think Merbak is playing a fighter or barbarian, from what I understood. That leaves a healing position open, unless Merbak takes paladin or cleric. I think you can get by with just a paladin, or maybe even without any healers (though that would mean less combat probably).
Anyways, you might want to consider cleric as your class, which might work with your desire for less combat focus.

[dabocim]

Psh we don't need healers in combat we just need to know when to rest and recover HP

[Explosive Cheese]

*Prods Dabocim* You still need to tell me what languages (Earth and Golarion) you want, and whether you're going with elf or half-elf.
