Out of Character thread.

I'll go with your recommendation and add Acrobatics to the skill list. I'm not sure if I want to improve Acrobatics or Deception to Expert.

For the minor powers, the ones with x2 are improved to Expert. Though, I might want to make some changes, because of better understanding of how feats are chosen. Maybe going with Prodigious Psion and Psionic Adept.

As for equipment, I just hadn't gotten that far yet.

I think I have the nuts and bolts of my character figured out now. I still need to figure out equipment, and details of the backstory. The basics of Tarquin's backstory is that he accidentally killed the son of an powerful criminal, when his psychic powers first manifested. He has been on the run since.

1 - Clearly I need to watch both threads.
2 - Welcome to the party Hoorayrat.
3 - Mara has some pocket healing abilities bit as a Sorceress I’m not really well suited but as long as you don’t get hurt we’ll be fine.
4 - What’s a Psion? I mean I understand the term but don’t quite know how it fits into Pathfinder.

@Emberskyes I ended up staying away from the healing aspects and focused more on rogue type of powers.
REALIST can best explain how the Psion fits in Pathfinder. He gave it to me as an option, so I figured I'd give it a try.

uhm, my book; Tome of Psionics

Hey all, I'm excited to be joining in with you all! My name is Justin.

Have no fear on the healing side, for the gods provide, well, at least one does. Your cleric has arrived :D I am putting the finishing touches on my character, his name is Larkin and will be a full cleric.

I just need to finish a few things equipment and skill-wise and then he will be ready.

Looking forward to the game!

Welcome Justin!!!

Welcome Justin!

Hi and welcome!

Welcome.

Tarquin

Tarquin - That’s enough Vader.

I’ll try to get a post in asap, my work truck was having issues making weird noises... took a rock through the condenser core and lost all my AC fluid. Now instead of driving my 2017 Durango I’m trapped in a 2012 Tahoe. Ugh. i hate the ‘hoe.

That's him in his working clothes.

Normal "let's be normal clothes"

Outstanding artwork for Tarquin.

I think its cool to roll out in a truck suited to your job. That's cool.
though...
Yeah, my main grievance with big trucks is that so few actually know how to drive them. I have rolled out in some of the biggest Army trucks and I know it takes constant mirror and blindspot checking. it is not autopilot, you need to be actively aware of everything around you... Constantly. because other people can be stupid...
It fills me with rage when someone is driving a huge vehicle like a license to hit other cars. You can usually tell who knows how to drive a big truck and who shouldn't even try, by how they park.
its like, if your not a confident operator... Do NOT even try.

Some people are not meant to drive a big truck. Some people just aren't responsible enough.

Okay... I have the maps! GAME ON!

How do I get my character portrait to show up next to my posts?

REALIST, as a standard everyday thing, Tarquin would meditate at the beginning of his day, Resonant: Aura armor, Harmonic: Defensive Shell. This is because of his Hunted background. If I understand correctly, these powers are always on "in the background". Also, Tarquin's Focus points are determined by his Wisdom modifier, +4. If he starts the day with 4 focus points, then he only has 9 points to bond with magical items.

As for activating the resonant and harmonic powers, those would cost 1 point each. That would leave him with 2 focus points, unless he took 10 minutes to refocus. Refocus gives him back 1 focus point. Can he refocus consecutively to regain the 4th point?

Go to the top and select the "character" tab, then create a character and add their portrait then go to the "games" tab, select this game and submit your character.

Thanks for the response!

It tells me "You cannot submit anymore characters to this game."

Under "Players in Game", my name is there but Tarquin isn't listed like everyone else's characters. It gives me the option to "Leave Game".

let me see what I can do...
I can't do anything except remove you?

bogus.

How about I leave the game then rejoin? That might work.
