Invited from the interest thread so it's time to start thinking about concept. I know Pedrop wanted to play an investigator and AbyssalChimera a Paladin, but beyond that I don't think there's been anyone else mentioning concepts.
May 13, 2024 6:08 pm
I would either keep it simple and play a fighter or barbarian, or play a druid if we need more support/healing.
May 13, 2024 6:10 pm
I want to play a Wizard.

Half-orc monk for me.

I made a character sheet for Savage Pathfinder. Enjoy.

I was looking to play a halfling sorceress, myself.

Hi. Yes I would like to play my human Investigator: Li Xingchi - that I also used at previous Savage Pathfinder game with Furmyr. His backstory is simple, but I quite like it:
[ +- ] Li backstory
But I can change it to make him a better fit with other PCs or the coming adventure/campaign.

Looking forward to doing some character progression with him:)

Great character sheet nezzeraj! I will try to migrate to it with Li - when I will have some more time:)

This is great, thanks!

Core skills start at d4 correct? So we should check the first box for those?
May 14, 2024 5:09 pm
Yes, you start in a d4 in each of those.
May 14, 2024 5:36 pm
Cool, thanks. I should have a character submitted soon
May 14, 2024 7:05 pm
I have submitted my character, Khel Turbane. He is a young wizard who had just graduated from the academy and set out to adventure in order to learn more about Varisian spellcasting.
May 14, 2024 9:16 pm
Similar to Pedrop I was thinking of bringing in a previous character we were in with Furmyr, the halfling barbarian Grimwulf Goodbarrel. With some slight modifications to fit Sandpoint. Should have him submitted tomorrow at the latest.
May 14, 2024 9:53 pm
I'll get my halfing sorceress submitted tomorrow. Today is my 36th wedding anniversary.
May 14, 2024 10:14 pm
That's fantastic, congrats WhtKnt!

Chigaru Goretusk, half-orc monk. Chigaru is a wandering monk along with his guard dog companion, Chakra. After years of asceticism, he travels the world seeking enjoyment and pleasure in life. He's come to Sandpoint to experience the Swallowtail Festival.

That's almost longer than I've been alive lol. Congrats!

@WhtKnt Congratulations on your anniversary!
May 15, 2024 12:40 pm
Wow. Congrats.

Why do some of the edges have 'Wild Card' as a requirement? Aren't we all Wild Cards?
May 15, 2024 3:33 pm
They can't be taken by NPCs or followers/companion characters. Unless they're also Wild Cards that is.

Khel Turbane is a wizard who recently graduated from the academy of mages in the far south lands of Golden Road. He had been travelling since, trying to learn and research on various magic practices all over Golarion. His travels have brought him to Sandpoint, which he had read to be steeped in Varisian culture and lore. Maybe he could learn more about Variasian magic here.

I gotta work on finding a better image, but for now, here's Wess Torgos with his trusted axe 'Dawn's Light'

Porting my stuff over tonight. Was busy yesterday with getting my vehicle seen to.
May 15, 2024 10:26 pm
Luna's been submitted! Just lacking a picture for now since I'm on my new phone and the one I use is still on my old one.
May 15, 2024 11:22 pm
::sigh:: Life continues to throw stuff at me. Got busy today and tonight is game night, but I should be able to post my character after the game tonight.
May 16, 2024 4:30 am
Grimwulf Goodbarrel is a former soldier, dishonorably discharged after single-handedly causing the collapse of a magical defense tower (requiring several thousands worth of crushed diamonds and rare dragon eggs in material to build). Wanting to leave the memories of Molthune behind, Grim started wandering Golarian, taking what jobs he could to earn coin that quickly slipped through his fingers once had.

A few months ago, traveling the Varisian coast he stumbled upon Sandpoint. Hoping to find work, he managed to get job offers among the various big businesses (Carpenter's Guild, Sandpoint Lumber Mill, and Shipyard) but kept getting fired after only a few days on the job. One day, while at the Hagfish, Bilivar Wheen offered him a job at Wheen's Wagons. This was a bit surprising as Grim is crap at wheel making, and suspects Bilivar just needs a drinking and gambling companion. Still, it's a steady paycheck, so no complaints there.

Leaving the Hagfish one night (a regular there now), tipsy and 50sp richer after a hot streak at the craps table, he spots a flyer for tomorrow's Swallowtail Festival. A rare half smile forms on his lips Things may finally be looking up.

No rush. Tomorrow is the national holiday in Norway and will be busy most of the day. And based on the amount of wine my father bought for family dinner, I'm not expecting an early start on Saturday :P

Could you have submitted the wrong character, as what I've got is an empty sheet.
May 16, 2024 11:58 pm
Saldrina has been submitted for approval and with that, I'm ready to go.
May 17, 2024 12:26 am
Saldrina is a halfling lass who manifested her sorcerous powers at a relatively early age (about 10). Far from being fearful, her parents were delighted by their daughter's abilities (her grandfather was a sorcerer as well) and embraced her emerging powers. They helped her learn to use them constructively and by the time she was 18, she was in almost full control of her abilities. She decided to strike out into the world to earn her fortune and has come to Sandpoint, figuring that the festival may be a place where she can earn a little cash and perhaps make a few friends.

Just fyi, updated my background a bit to give the character more of a connection to Sandpoint.
May 19, 2024 2:53 am
I updated mine as well. Decided to change 2 of my hindrances to poverty and quirk and his background is he trained as a monk in Sandpoint.
May 19, 2024 4:44 am
I can't think of a great reason for my character to be in Sandpoint, so I'll just make something fun up.
May 21, 2024 1:14 pm
@AbbyssalChimera I don't know if you saw the message above. But the character sheet is empty.
May 28, 2024 9:11 pm
Corrected! I did indeed submit the wrong sheet. Seems that when you have two identical sheets in name and type, it shows only one of them.
May 29, 2024 8:23 am
I have approved your character and feel free to introduce yourself in the main thread :)
Jul 10, 2024 1:40 pm
Increased my Vigor to a d8 for my advancement. Simple and easy.
Jul 10, 2024 4:25 pm
I am taking a new spell (Burst) with the new power edge.
Jul 10, 2024 5:46 pm
Wess is definitely going to increase his Fighting die to a d10. He missed waaaay tom many goblins
Jul 11, 2024 5:00 am
@stalker05 - you get to pick two powers with the new powers edge, or add additional trappings to an existing power.

Seeing the efficacy of Li's attack, and how Grim was surrounded, I'll grab the Sweep edge for Advance 1.
Jul 11, 2024 5:17 am
Actually, are we using the new errata'd version of sweep, or the older one from Pathfinder? New version attached.

https://i.imgur.com/ZgCmPgH.png
Jul 11, 2024 5:35 am
Oh right! Thanks for reminding me. I will take Dispel as my second spell.
Jul 11, 2024 10:03 am
I am inclined to allow the errata'd version. Haven't been able to find any errata for Savage Pathfinder, but I assume it would have been changed there as well.
Jul 11, 2024 1:46 pm
Pinnacle is working on updating versions of the previously printed Pathfinder books, so I imagine it would be in these once theyre out.
Jul 11, 2024 3:58 pm
Saldrina will use her advance to increase her Strength by one die.
Jul 17, 2024 5:48 am
I nabbed champion for Luna
Jul 22, 2024 10:44 am
Hi. I'm slowly back at GP and catching up:)

I was thinking of taking rise in Agility, but then found CALCULATING edge - and it seams perfect for Li:) So taking it for my 1 advancement.

Question for the future: as Li was based on some pre-gen investigator(can't find it right now) he don't have any class edges. So could he become a fighter at next advancement if I will decide so?

Also: I will use Sweep version from errata too - from now on. So no -2 patently with my katana - I think?
Jul 22, 2024 11:03 am
I think you switched your Class Edge with another edge which is possible from the rules (but possibly less powerful) I would let you take a class edge as a normal Edge on an Advancement.
Jul 22, 2024 11:31 am
So there is no Investigator class in SW Pathfinder? At least not in my core book:)
Jul 22, 2024 1:47 pm
Not yet sadly. The Advanced Player's Guide have Cavalier, Inquisitor, Oracle, Summoner and Witch. The upcoming Advanced Player's Guide 2 will have Ninja, Magus, Gunslinger and Shifter.
Jul 22, 2024 1:55 pm
So... Inquisitor from Minkai lands? Could this thematically work? Will have to have a look at those book someday:)
Jul 22, 2024 2:44 pm
Hmmm... done some reading in my break time... Alchemist seams a much better fit for Li. Will you allow to take on this class when Li will meet its requirements?
Jul 22, 2024 3:58 pm
Sure. All you need is Alchemy at d6. I'll even let you shift around skills so you already qualify if you'd like. If you for example would like Alchemy instead of your Science skill.
Jul 23, 2024 1:20 pm
Great! But I think we will do it gradually in-fiction, Li will discover some talents and interests in Alchemy. And slowly gain some skill is in it(probably changing it from Science as you said, as I don't want to 'waste' so many advances to get it by itself, as that would mean Li staying to much behind others in terms of development - I think. Maybe Amiko or Lonjiku Kaijitsu have some knowledge about Alchemy?

We will see:)

But, maybe: Is there a way to gain Alchemy by in-fiction/game training, by i.e. paying for lessons? As not to 'waste' advancement for it?
Jul 23, 2024 1:55 pm
Not really. I don't think the system is set up to circumvent the advancement system like that. The advantage is that it's below your smarts, so you get two skill increases instead of one when you take the skill advancement.
Jul 23, 2024 2:17 pm
Ok, all clear:) So either I will have to rise/learn alchemy by advancements or I will help myself with this changing science to alchemy with this. Ok, let's see what will happen in-game first.
Jul 23, 2024 6:40 pm
The picture I had in my mind when I read about Li was the Chinese character Detective Dee.
Jul 24, 2024 2:49 am
Never heard of Detective Dee until just now. Watched some of the movie trailers, and yup, that's Li to a T.
Jul 24, 2024 8:19 am
Looked at some pictures of Detective Dee movies - as I didn't know anything about it - and yes, indeed they look very valid! I have to watch this movie now:) And if Detective Dee is anything like Sherlock I think him learning alchemy and experimenting with some substances to support his investigations would feel very thematic to add to this character. So I'm even more inclined to go with this:) Thanks for the reference!
Jul 24, 2024 8:26 am
I saw the trailer for phantom flame. Lol... what a ridiculous movie it has to be... love it... Especially liked the part when he was "on the case" ;) So... I think it is fixed... now... Li will drift towards this character. But it looks that I have to rise his fighting and add some acrobatics too... :D
Jul 24, 2024 9:06 am
Li is the Minkai version of Detective Dee; more honour bound, excellent swordsman and master of Katana (maybe a bit less Kung Fu as he is from Minkai), more inner monologue and thirst to chase a case to the bitter end at the cost of his own detriment. Oh, and alchemy helps in solving cases.
Jul 24, 2024 9:14 am
Speaking about the thing: is there anyone in Sandpoint that knows something about Alchemy?
