I get it. I am hoping to end the funnel soon. I keep making mistakes. Ha! PbP funnel!

I like your idea. Will implement.

Yea seems like we are close to the end. Does anyone have more than one character left?

I have Grog and Daniel left still :)

(Hoping Daniel lives)

well Grog better go save 'im!

He tried, but the rolls were AWFUL lol

Well this Mamma Pig is exceptionally deadly. Let's see who she kills next...

Aaron, is there a list of gods for this world? Just wondering if Ro Ar is going to continue to snub Lavender (due to his poor dice rolls, lol)) then maybe he will look elsewhere for divine guidance!

Nevermind, I found the list of gods in the CRB. Another question, I didn't see anything but just thought I would ask; there's no way to increase your ability scores through play or leveling up, correct?

I think Ro Ar is ignoring you. However, you haven't rolled a 1 so you haven't been eaten. So more offerings means more chances...

As far as I know there's no way to get ability scores up using rules in the core book. But on Spellburn (the podcast) I have heard of people going on quests to get special boons. I think that would be possible. Lavender's stats aren't actually that bad. Also as you level up your dice chain levels up. So you do improve. Let me find the rules for that.

Very true. All 0 modifiers and +2 to luck is a great ability set for this system, I'm not complaining! Just wondering what makes sense for him class-wise. Narratively he is feeling kinda shunned by Ro Ar right now and going Cleric is looking less-likely. He has already tried twice to gain her favor, not sure if it makes sense to keep beating a dead horse :) However, the fact that he now knows celestial is a strong indicator that he may try to gain favor with another god...

I can get MUCH more use out of his +2 luck score if he chooses Thief, or even Warrior. And his sign of the Bull would compound on his melee attack rolls. Even with +0 strength he would be a pretty devastating Warrior right out of the gate with +4 to hit with his chosen weapon before even applying his Deed Die!

Just thinking out loud :)

Wow! He would make an amazing warrior, I think. +4 to hit is incredible in this system.

If Daniel survives, he'll likely be going warrior as well.

The dice chain doesn't really get better until 6th level for clerics. So that isn't great. That said at level 1 you get an extra 1d8. I personally would rule you get max hit points at level 1. I know it goes against the nature of the game a bit but I also know that if you roll a 1 then basically you die from the most basic damage. Anybody think it is a bad idea to get maximum hit points on level 1 feel free to argue with me or just roll you HP if you want...

Another thing to bring up now is how we will move to level 1. I want to finish the funnel next week (so please post a lot now while you can). After that I am going to say a year passes by. On the anniversary of the rise of Ro Ar you all meet again. What I want you all to start thinking about now is:
1. What class your character will be? Of course it might depend on the character that survives. Class as race will be one thing. I don't want anyone to have more than 1 character at level 1 so I am going to expect you to choose a single character (the funnel was super tough to keep track of). What happened over the year that changed the character? Post your ideas.
2. What type of campaign do you want?
- I am happy to run something based in the city of Anthat. The city is big and a million things could happen. If you chose a city campaign I would play up political intrigue and gang intrigue. There could still be dungeon crawls here and there. And there are definitely monsters in Anthat and not just the human kind.
- Or do you want to explore the world? Dig up information of an adventure at a tavern from a dirty old man (that sounds bad)? Go through a rift and find yourself on another plane of existence?

oh. I see this is already happening :)

Also I want you all to think why would you join together? What is the glue that would join the party?

I'll wait and see how the rest of Chapter 1 plays out, but I might be leaning towards Thief. Lavender's 17 Luck means I have lots of Luck to burn and he can regenerate it every day so that's nice.

As for the campaign, I'd prefer exploration. Traveling on the road, living adventure to adventure, maybe even exploring the Sundering? Or we could stay in Anthat and investigate the source of the ruptures? That might be a good buy-in for us to group together. If we all meet up a year later and commiserate about how this rupture threw our lives into chaos that could bind us together maybe?

I think I'd prefer the adventuring lifestyle, personally. As for a reason to group up, I'll get back to you on that :)

Is anyone else considering the Cleric class? Is anyone getting a bonus to their Personality? Obviously we should try and have a Cleric and if no one else is thinking of going that route I still might but Lavender’s +0 Personality means he won’t be super effective...

Maybe if no one has a decent personality bonus then right off the bat we could quest for a holy relic to raise our cleric’s effective caster level, whomever that might be?

Murt is a thug with a magic sword and an intelligence of 4, so, this could really only one direction in my opinion - a dumb brute of a fighter.

Edit: Although, I’m not holding out hope or anything, if the wings and burning forehead eye remain, perhaps a wild zealot of a paladin could be some sort of possibility??
