In Loving Memory

Indeed it would be nice. Been a while since people on the arena all been active at the same time. Seems like someone will post and then months will pass and someone else will post. Pity. And new blood is hard to find. All the whippersnappers are on Discord and Twitch.

Josep’s Fight

I mean, a standard/basic level 1 thing would be a good way to “start up” again, or try it out again… I’ve got the kind of breaks at work, that fit this well.

Josep’s Fight

 I haven't done any PF2 at all.
 So a good old core PF1 would be good for me :)
 I'm saying core because I don't want to run through a dozen books to find the optimised advanced half-dragon drow with the right combination of archetypes and alternate class features to survive 2 rounds...

Josep’s Fight

Haha I didn’t know such things could be done with a level 1 character :D Well, I can go for that. Even core could work out nicely :) I have a suspicion that there’s a very limited niche of builds that will have an extreme advantage in level 1 combat with tons of hp, but on the other hand my default mode is to find the main stream and try to swim the opposite direction so maybe this alleged advantage wouldn’t even change anything from how I like to play anyway.

2e was an option here but it never took off. Most stick with 1e here.

I don't really like level 1 myself.

PF really gets good around level 5ish and crazy around 15ish.

But you can play at any level below your max as you see fit.

I agree, level 1 is maybe not that fun.
But I thought it would be cool to do a rematch at level 2, and so on and so forth :)

Josep’s Plight

In my memory still,
The battles are real,
And go on they will,
As wounds barely heal.
Before the first light,
As three torches burn,
I hope on this night,
For Latro’s return.

Invited some new folks to join us for a campaign if anyone is still interested.

It's the BEGINNING OF THE END thread. It's not open yet, post here for discussion of characters, etc.

Are we playing our arena characters, or a version thereof?

I wouldn’t mind resurrecting a level 6 Josep.

Though he would very ill suited to anything except straightforward arena fights!

In reply to Josep Gavinho (msg # 54):

You can play your arena characters but it would be a 10,000 BP version of them. Of course, you can make it a past or weakened version of their full self in case they're recovering from an injury or haven't made a name for themselves yet.

New Guy is building his character. Anyone else other than Josep up for a campaign? I know we get quiet lately but hopefully someone's checking their RPOL accounts.

*Matthew McConaughey voice* Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up! LOL


Welcome veterans and newcomers alike. If we can get at least 4 players we can start up the adventure. If you want to spar in the arena in the meantime, feel free.

I could do an arena match if someone is up for it. Sadly my schtick is very badly hampered by the arena rules. I would have built things is a somewhat different order if I had planned on dueling.

In reply to Bane Fireheart (msg # 61):

You can actually adjust your build between matches and even drop stipulations in the challenge.

For example, if you were a Ranger with Favored Terrain (Woodlands) and someone challenged you, you could agree, but only if the terrain is woodlands.

Or say you had 100k BP and someone with only 10k BP challenged you. You could spend only 10k to build your character for the match but go back to your normal build afterwards.

If you switch race or class or make any big changes you do have to declare doing so in the challenge though.

That's good at least. I'm relatively duel ready just swapping two feats. If anyone is up for it.
