adventurers still start at lvl 1

Yes I suppose :)

IC I can't offer them sweet sweet XP in exchange for slaying monsters. And not everyone will do it because they're Good. If they do, great, bunch of suckers!

Promise of a share of treassure, promise of land, lots of things....

Ever watch eden of the east? welcome to dnd edition ;p

Never seen it, so unfortunately that means nothing to me.

On a completely unrelated note, what languages will people be speaking/understanding?

Mine are:
Common (Taldane)
Tien
Hallit
Kelish
Osiriani
Infernal
Varisian
Cyclops
Thassilonian

I wanted more regional languages then purely racial, as I figure it's part of Cornelius being worldly and educated. Plus civilised humanoid often speak a regional language. Though I plan to gradually learn more languages.

I speak Common and Celestial....

In reply to Cornelius Abernatch IV (msg # 200):

Tian
Common
Sylvan
Celestial
Draconic
Dwarven
Elven

here are my languages:
common
draconic
dwarven
sylvan
goblin

Aisent, you are a dork and I adore your post. thank you for doing the table.

your income would look like this:



since you are checking around about what the sailors saw, its considered common knowledge. Maybe theres some rumors spiced into that info, but its absolutely not anything obscure or secretive. So pathfinder rules puts that dc at 10.

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skill.../#Gather_Information

you can probably cut out the divide by 8, times 8, part and just get 50 but I added it because what if you only wanted to spend 2 hours, or 1 hour, doing that? you'd get 6 or 12 experience (I know, its not much, I didnt want it to make fighting to get experience pointless).

Im working on responses to everything btw, and almost done checking Cornelius's sheet.

This would also work:
| DC(10) x 5 x half level(1) = 50, 0 + 50 = 50 |
Because it shows your previous exp total, the earned exp, and the new exp total.

Just to clarify: Aithne isn't doing anything on day one other than resting.  Should I then put the daily for day 2 onward?

Also, can we take 10 on the daily instead of rolling?

you can take 10 anytime and place that the rules would let you. this is usually in any none stressful or hostile situation.

You are exploring though, right? this is a form of information gathering since you are getting a lay of the land as well as developing your knowledge local. for instance, you (and anyone else) will find militia like people trying to block them from going to the corner with the temple. 'exploring' would teach you this.

*edit
Aecthelion

Im sorry if i wasnt clear, gather information, or information gathering, 'builds' your knowledge local. what Aithne wants to do, what you posted you want to do, are gather information checks like what Aisent did but with different information objectives.

would you like me to edit your post to the correct skill?

It can be a Knowledge (local) check if you like, that's fine.

I'm following your intent, so feel free to adjust however you feel is appropriate (i.e. I'm having a brain fart about the mechanics right this moment).   She'll actually start working on day 2.

In reply to The Meta (msg # 207):

Yeah sure, that makes sense.

In reply to Aithne (msg # 208):

Knowledge local is an int skill, int is remembering things or researching things in a scholarly manner. Knowledge local, demonstrated with bardic knowledge, is how well you know an area.

You cant knowledge check on something you dont know.

Think of it like this, you do a knowledge local to walk around, check out the town. you come across a manor with an emblem. if youve lived in the area for extended time you can knowledge local to know that a noble family holds the town as their fief and their emblem is such and such. Since thats the emblem you see, you now know this is their manor.

You could also use knowledge nobles to see who the emblem belongs to.

if you havent lived in an area, the best you may be able to knowledge local to know who runs the town but nothing else. and thats probably going to be a high DC since you arent sure if its changed or if it was false information or whatever.

Now, I mentioned researching, to avoid confusion, research is like spellcraft or trying to 'discover' a spell. it can also be reading and comprehending books.

Does this all make sense?

Is there any property available to buy, or vacant lots, in Newport?

Likely, very likely, they need money to expand, but that would require investigation.

Im still going through your sheet, but felt it was safe to lock it and put you in play. did you want to shift something around so you could buy property?

Depending on how they want to expand, I weren't sure if some of my BP brought with me would get used, or just some money.

Maybe an offer financial support for the town, in exchange for position, etc...?

you can use bp if you want. That all sounds like in game negotiations. How do you want to approach that?

Play out me arriving, finding out who is in charge, some Diplomacy rolls, maybe Knowledges, Bluff, depending on what both sides want.

As if I don't benefit from the investment, then it's charity, not an investment. And you don't get to be wealthy by giving it away!

And how are we planning on doing Profession checks?   As they represent a week and have no set DC.

Also, another question while I'm thinking about it.   Is it okay to assume the characters of noble birth and/or rulers have some proof of their identity?

I'm working things out with Finaril and will be moving to my area to start a colony.

Will be posting to hire some mercenaries soon.

The complicated but accurate method would be to compare the action intended with comparative none profession DC's.

There is also the alternative profession rules that actually favors the player in that you can just use the comparative action in lieu of your profession activity.

The easy way would be just to round down your roll to nearest 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc) then minus 10. it seems like its taking a lot off the top but it scales appropriately and assumes average action since its a profession where you are cranking something out like a factory rather than, say, crafting a sword that will perform best for you.

In reply to Aithne (msg # 216):


Typically it is bad for one's health, using a medieval analog, to say you are a member of the nobility, and not be...  now, add in magic where people, at least some people, can sometimes detect lies,  decreases the likelihood of con-artists trying this root.  Also, typically nobility had behavior patterns that were considered part of who they were, and the kind of class they were a part of.  Obviously, certain items and colors also would probably come into play.

What, I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head, since I don't know enough about Pathfinder's world just yet, but it would certainly have some.
