A thread for OOC discussion and questions.

Hello everyone! I will be playing Barb, the suture vine familiar to a greedy ratfolk witch healer named Skivven.

Hi Barb.  You look very tasty I must say.

Halatir is the Parrot partner of a rather dodgy elf call Enlee.

Hey! No nibbling! Unless you want to find out first-hand why she is called Barb.

Ylva, is there any special way you want character sheets done? (Also, can I have my character sheet unlocked?)

Ah come on.  Just a little bit.  You know you want a little bit of nibbling around the flower petals (he he).  You do know that a lot of parrot seek out and used barbed plants to make their nests in.  Also it our job to eat a few of your seeds and fly of and ... do want we have to do to drop them seeds.

I think and hope we will get along very well but it may depend on what the GM allows me to do.  I can see us working together just by the nature of our two owners.   Two very dodge witches.

I am sure we will get along just fine. It sounds like our masters will have reasons to hang out together too. If they are both witches, it could even be possible that they could be in a coven together.

GM, how do you envision the story structure to go for this game? Like, are we telling our story from the perspective of the tag-alongs as our masters adventure? Will we be given our own missions? Or is it more like we give our perspectives during the downtime between bigger events? The theme of the game is pretty clear, but I am still not all that clear on what style of storywriting we will be doing.

It's going to be a mix of being given your own jobs and being in the downtime between bigger things that your masters do.

In reply to Barb (msg # 6):

Yes, I think a coven of thieves, vagabond and pirates would work well.
Although Enlee is an elf she is not to choosy about who she hangs out with.

So GM are you happy with the idea of our witches being in the same coven and me and Barb knowing each other?

To have a true coven, at least one member would need to be a hag. But aside from that, other members could include:

Shaman with coven hex
Bloodrager with Hag bloodline
Additional witches with coven hex
Sorerer with accursed bloodline
And I think a Magus with a specific archetype/ability?

Works for me.

Would this be an appropriate selection for a familiar's feats? The last two especially I was unsure of, since Barb's master is the one that would technically qualify for the prerequisites, but I am not creating Barb's master.

Feats

Level 9 - Changeling Familiar: teenage ratfolk form, (if allowed) - https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats...imal-companion-feat/

Hello everyone.

Hello! And welcome to the party!

Going to say no to those feats, Barb, simply because I don't want to open the whole array of things that the people you're bound to might have invested in.

As for calculating HP and base saves, use the base saves for a level ten character of the class your master is, and HP...I think the easiest thing to do is treat it as a d8? So you get 45 HP plus ten times Con modifier.

Sounds reasonable. I will try to figure out what I will replace those feats with in the near future. (I am assuming only the last two were the ones not allowed. If I assumed incorrectly, let me know).

I think I will keep it simple and go with Skill Focus (Heal) and Skill Focus (Handle Animal) for my last two feats. I believe I have made all of the decisions needed for my character now. Let me know if I missed anything noteworthy.

Speaking of skills, are we limited to the standard Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Perception, Stealth, and Swim as class skills, beyond those gained by creature type, feats, etc?

Hm, I'll say you can also have any two you want as inherent class skills.

I'll get the IC posted once I'm feeling better, a bit out of it tonight - out of meds.

Hi.

I am still interested in the game but not sure about creating my character and still waiting for answer in my PM about my build please.

In the spoiler tags below is what I did for my character's info. Thought it might help to see what someone else did. I just added what I thought were the important bits of info and didn't follow any sort of set guidelines, since it feels like we are kind of exploring a new game territory with this game.

In reply to Halatir (msg # 19):

As Barb said, if you need input or feedback regarding the more mundane bits, feel free to ask.

If you're dealing specifically with some of the squiggy gray areas (of which there's a bunch given what we're doing), that's a tougher ask outside the one with the plan.

Hi.

There is a bank holiday coming up this weekend.  So I hope to get some time to sort out ruff draft of my character sheet and then do some rolls.

Hey folks work is going absolutely insane, may not post for a couple days...sorry.

No worries.

I appreciate the heads up.

Not been well over the weekend.  Getting better.
Hope move my character sheet along then make post.
