Re: OOC Yes

I think that was intended per person. Each of you would rule say a small barony maybe, but you could be neighbors and have an alliance with one another enabling you to not have to patrol one border so much.

Re: OOC Yes

I'll also be taking the ruler path but Finaril will probably be a bit more independent,  he wants to build an elven forest realm.

Re: OOC Yes

Aisent, I think your weapon damage numbers are too low.

Some of them are less than your modifier and doesnt charge give +1 or +2 damage?

*edit
wait, silver, I get it now. Silver does less damage, my bad.

Re: OOC Yes

Okay, and the charge is +2 to attack not damage.
I'm pretty sure they are right I just went back over them, I know it's a long list :)

I'd be curious to know this as well.   For those of us not interested in our own kingdom, does that mean we can join up with someone who does and then share our points?  At most, Aithne would be interested in a nice house (read: mansion) but nothing more extravagant.

Finaril:
Is the plan to adventure as a group?


I was hoping that we'd get to do this too.  I was thinking that we'd have to work together to "carve out" our own territory, much like Kingmaker but not in the River Kingdoms area.

But I'm also good with the idea of getting together on occasion to deal with a common threat.  And have parties.   Parties are important.

this would work, you could also put your bp limit to someone else. Though, i feel like thats like signing away power of attorney to a stranger.... do you REALLY want to do that? what you guys do with your resources is up to you. you could even form an adventuring party and pool your money into mega millions. Your choice what you do with your resources.

but, yes, each person can convert wealth to up to 150 bp and choose to do with any of that as they wish. including using it for others.

Iomedae accepts all donations, and a wise ruler would seek her blessings, perhaps build a chapel to her there :). Sorry I do not have money right now.

I mean I could work as a General or Councilor or a number of other things to a ruler :) if they wanted to provide something to Iomedae :)

Re: OOC Yes

So what was the descion on setting?

Will we be on Golarion set in the river kingdoms or somewhere else?

Are we going to have a map done?

Can we put in requests for starting areas?

Depending on the location it will change how the BP get spent.

Re: OOC Yes

In reply to Finaril (msg # 55):

Golarion, unless someone really wants a different setting.

You guys can choose where you want within reason, most lands are owned but we can say the ruler was given a spit of land to work from depending on their backstory (to honor the god you came from, to honor great adventurer you came from or once were.... whatever.)

Re: OOC Yes

I am hashing out what build I will do.

Leaning toward being a dwarf and having a mine and dwarven kingdom underground or in the hills.

Would also moonlight with my dwarves as caravan guards/ running merchant caravans.   May incorporate humans with the guards/ merchants.

Is there a map I can refer to?  Would like to see where there are mountains or hills to do this.

Re: OOC Yes

The biggest area of "non-owned" land in Golarion is probably the Stolen Lands.

I'm not saying play that AP, but if we just want a map that is open to settling/exploration and where we can potentially work together to build something and also adventure together, that seems to be a good place.

There is at least one mine that I know if in the Narlmarch from the AP also Kalven.

I'm back from my half-marathon so I'll be able to really start in on my character.

I'm planning, for bloodline, to be of the blood of Vorynn (the lord of the moon and all things arcane)

EDIT: for those with a bloodline - how do we know if it's Minor/Major/Great? Is it based on our bloodline score also or could you have a Great bloodline with a score of 10 for instance?

My score seems to be 22 since I rolled an 11 on the roll.

Re: OOC Yes

you can either use the chart here:
http://www.birthright.net/foru...ency_Bloodline_score

or the charts here:
http://www.birthright.net/foru...ency_Blood_abilities

both list at what bloodline score rating you can select about what. most of you will probably only get a minor ability but if someone gets a really high bloodline score then they may be able to start with one major.

once you pick a table, you need to stick with it.

Re: OOC Yes

So I'm not sure that answers my question as I've seen those tables. That tells me what level of abilities I can get, but not the... potency of my bloodline per se.

You can have a score that qualifies you for "great" abilities, but if you have only a "minor" bloodline, you're limited to "minor" abilities.

from the first link:
A scion with a bloodline of Brenna (minor, 32), for example, would receive three minor abilities. Their bloodline score would entitle them to one minor ability, one major ability and one great ability but their minor bloodline strength limits their manifestations to minor abilities only.


Ok, I found it here: http://www.birthright.net/foru...ngth&redirect=no

Do you want us to use the % to see what our bloodline strength is which is the variant rule on that page or should we choose one?

Most are going to be minor (1-65% chance) if we roll for it which is fine. I just want to know your preference.

Re: OOC Yes

As part of asking for advice on Reddit, I was shared this Google Sheet - https://docs.google.com/spread.../edit#gid=1700262873

If you're looking for what items give the best bang for their buck with certain modifiers, or just want to improve a particular skill but not even sure what there is, it can be helpful. It also shows the type of bonus, so you know what (not) to stack with.

Re: OOC Yes

Neat!

There are some errors in there that I found, so double check pricing on things if you're going to buy them. Either way, it's super useful!

Re: OOC Yes

the bloodline stuff is basically a lot of goodies for cheap or free. they can slowly build over time to get better at no cost other than time or having to kill another bloodliner.

so, I feel it is best to have you guys roll percentage.

I am sorry my earlier answer was inadequate, it's been a while since I delved into birthrights bloodline system and it escaped me exactly what you were looking for.

Im also ok with you simply opting to be a minor bloodline if you prefer.

Re: OOC Yes

We could do this as a loose conglomerate of city-states, which is how ancient Greece is sometimes portrayed.   Perhaps with our characters either functioning as a ruling council, or with ambassadors that do the same (something like the UN)?

Re: OOC Yes

Thanks Meta!

I rolled a secret roll yesterday just in case you went with rolling. You can see the result for my bloodline.



Aithne - if we set this in the Stolen Lands area, then there is nothing there really.

The only locations would be those set up by us spending some of our starting gold and BP to build things.

Is anyone other than Cornelius and I, planning to build stuff with BP?
