Yeah, this is probably it.

My campaign took more than a month to get off the ground. What does this say about me?

Alright, so that fills up the slots. Glenrir, Nihil, and Wave Rider. Sorry to everyone that wanted in

The only issue I have is with Nihil. I feel like the racial:

Shadowborn (1): Umbral Dragon

Umbral dragons can see through any sort of darkness, magical or mundane, so long as it is less powerful than an adult umbral dragon’s breath. Umbral dragons can also breathe puffs of cloying darkness at will. Outside of combat, any creature caught within a puff of darkness is blinded, takes a -3 penalty to all skill checks, and must make a DC 25 Endurance check or fall asleep for 1d4+1 hours.

Is a little too powerful for a 1 point racial. I think I'll cut off the ability to cause sleeping. It can still blind though, and blinding will cause a -5 to most skill checks. Also when using a puff of darkness on a creature, they'll have a chance to escape it with a DC 25 Acrobatics check. (It'll be harder for them to dodge if you catch 'em by surprise)

I hope that's okay with you

I'll go over the characters again later tonight and address any further concerns then

I don't know what it says about you, but I do know that it says that if I started up a game and the trend continnues, it would take three months to fill.

I miss the days when a cutie mark was a pony thing

When I was young, Minotaurs had 11 points worth of build! *shakes cane*
Things were grossly unbalanced and we liked it that way! *loses fake teeth*

Aww, whewe diz xose go? Ah. *Teeth back* Where was I? Oh yes, the important thing is I had an onion at my belt!

...Who has a cutie mark but shouldn't? EDIT: Oh, the fox and the dragon. Well, treat 'em like Expert Skills. I didn't see anything in either description that made a tattoo on their plots part of their core identity...

Thoses were the days thoses were the days... cup of tea and a round of golf?

Alrighty, I thought I might need to change that anyways. Updated that on my sheet. Thanks for having me

Totally this. Belle is nicest person on the forum.

I'm not sure if game filling up speed means anything though. My first game took a while to get players and only just recently has a 5th player again, while my more recent one got 7 faster than I could spit.

Not everyone likes me? :'(

Gimme that, I want a turn!

I think it depends on both the GM and the campaign premess that shows off what you going to get. But this one was drawn in by just Belle being Belle. XD

Alright, I double checked it all. It all looks good to me. Just one thing, if you want to make a back-story for your character, Logan, that would be awesome It can be very simple if you want.

Aside form that, there is only one other thought that comes to mind.

Do you guys want to have battle include the optional use of a minor action to switch combat talents or not?

If you have any other questions or concerns, let me know. I should have the actual campaign thread up on Saturday, maybe earlier. (Now to get back to finishing off some of the details.)

Blood Mage's backstory: Lotsa bullying for being a hemomancer, but he looks on the bright side. Traveler. That's all he reveals. *POOF* tada.

Hah, short and sweet, I like it

How exactly does that work?

Also, how long do my Enchantments last?

I think of it as having a minor action of Open Options but it doesn't give pips and you can pick one to trade in and junk.

I'm voting yes on this. We're using all the new systems so we might as well go for all of it. Also yay! I'm looking forward to Saturday even more now =)

I'm cool either way honestly with trading combat talents out. O_o

Basically, use a minor action to swap out any combat talent that you know but didn't bring into combat with one that is already there.

EDIT: (10 minutes) Well, I looked at the enchantments and since it doesn't say, I'd say it looks like 10 minutes for all of them except the traveling one, I think that one was meant to last a full 8 hours.

Ok, I'll edit that in.

the rule needs tested so why not

Alright, we'll be going with the minor action exchange

Just two last things before we kick this off, Logan, you can grab 3000 gold worth of items And Tyger, Wave Rider has 1 too many utility talents.

I'm going to go ahead an post up the thread in a few minutes. This is my first time running a PBP so I hope it works out well

I don't really care much about items right now. Anyone have any ideas for them?
