I'll be in town until day 10, if anyone wants to sail the ocean waves until we catch up with Kalven.

Is there anyone who needs anything at this time?

In reply to The Meta (msg # 546):

I think a thread for Blythe's shop would help me getting started. Thanks

with your start, you do not have a physical shop. you would make goods and sell them in the market of whatever town you are in (in this case, port town).

If you buy a building in town, you can use it as a shop (feel free to use any rules in official paizo, or 3.5 strongholds builders guide, to accomplish this)

Alternatively, you can make a shop just outside of town (think like how merchants use to make trade stations outside of town to avoid local laws and taxes, also picture refugee camps with trade involved).

Once you have a shop, I will make you a thread and also include your goods in the port town public thread.

for a shop outside of town, you could just as easily set up a tent or just put out your wares on the ground.

I was waiting to see if some mundane gear in PM was approved.

Once we have that settled I believe we will sail.

Once I've established my settlement I'd love to have shops and adventurers come

This is a fishing expedition and I'll admit it. Meta would totally be in the right to slap my hands and send me to time out.
:D
Anyhow, the heart of the matter is what are folks general opinion about the following link in regards to skills, particularly background skills, taken from Pathfinder unchained.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/background-skills/

Obviously, Meta has final say, since its part of being DM. Even the mighty  Ao is slave to the DM.

He is fine with it, after all from the PCGen thread...



So you should have already taken them :)

Well, until you pointed that out I thought Meta was referring to the background  rules from ultimit campaign. Then I went searching and found that, and well, wasn't entirely sure if that was meant or not, and so stated that I was going fishing.

In short, this was the internet equal of me making a noise  and listening for the echo.

...echo.....echo.....echo...

*knows precisely where Mako is from all the echos*

*Will try and remember that Mako has a "k" instead of a "c"*

Thank you aisent.

everyone on the airship. per the alt profession rules, you may use equivelant skills in place of profession rolls.

and so, instead if profession (sailor) you could make perception checks to represent a day on watch... this would also allow you to earn experience. wages are up to kalven tho.

Oh! Hello!

Ok, the shopkeeper is ready to roll! Still got ~165k to play with for in game purchases (I'm guessing so if a PC asks for an item I don't have: I can pay my wizards to craft it the "creation cost" and then charge PCs the cost, etc) but I've got a large selection of good, useful stuff already, ready to roll!

Let's get rolling!

Where are the rules for xp generated by crafting? I can't find them.

In reply to Blythe (msg # 558):

I guess I will just bump into you in town.

In reply to Tulsi (msg # 557):

Welcome! I hope you have fun here!

In reply to Mako (msg # 559):

Experience from Skill checks:

We are using the medium level progression chart.

DC x 5 x half level /8
Failing the check still earns you 50% of the experience (rounded down).

Normally, you may only gain experience for 8 hours of skill checks in any given day.
Any extended action skill check that runs up to or less than an hour can count as an hour but only one per hour.

If you have ways to do a skill faster then normal, or to stay active for longer periods of time during any day, you may count every hour as half an hour in regards to the cap (effectively doubling your daily experience cap).

I forgot to change part of that.

it's actually supposed to be slow progression chart, I put it in the intro but forgot I mentioned the experience progression in the experience from skill checks homebrew rule.

My bad, I will be fixing that now.

Himble and Blythe, neither of you have posted (I still need to review blythes sheet), if you want to talk about having ties or history together... it's not too late. I probably wont have blythe approved before sunday.

In reply to The Meta (msg # 563):

I don't have a thread with him that I can access anywhere. And ok!

In reply to Guthbrand (msg # 562):

Okay, I get that DC refers to target DC of the item being made.

What is meant by 'half level'?

Does that mean that lvl 1 characters get xp (per week I am guessing) of (5× DC) × (LEVEL/2) × (1/8)? So a week of crafting a Masterwork item (DC 20) at 1st level gives you (100× 1/2 × 1/8) = 6 xp? Something seems off about that.

In reply to Blythe (msg # 564):



You could send the character a PM, and then discuss background aspects there.

In reply to Enoch (msg # 566):

He had requested that we do it in character, in a game thread.

In reply to Blythe (msg # 567):



* Enoch opens mouth, and sticks in foot... left foot to be  precise*
* everyone can enjoy the image of a half-orc with his foot in his mouth.*

No, enoch was right. I did not suggest that you do it in character. I suggested you use this chance to talk before I approved you for play which would mean not in character.
