Blackstar Game Server, Right now. DM-Tolen's Stellar Uprising

Don't know for how long...

After talking with Zalun in OpenRPG for a while about your game, I think I would like an opportunity to play too. The Pathfinder setting seems like a unique way to look at something, so I'm up for it. Let me know if you need me. I got the 3.5e rules pretty good, but gonna have to read up on Pathfinder stuff more. I was thinking along the lines of a good tank... primarily melee combat... but I have many characters in my head if that don't work for you.

Nice. That sounds awesome. Last I checked we were in need of a heavy melee person. :)

Yes, we still need a tank. I don't know how many more players we need, but that's because some of our possible players haven't been in contact since our original meet.

In other words, you are more than welcome.

Tolen, get on OpenRPG! XD We have questions...

Okay, guys, it's come to my attention that something I said about gear might have been misunderstood.

When I said you could start with a free weapon of choice and a free suit of armor, I was speaking of basic, non-magical items. This also means that items that come from a sourcebook and are 'sort of' magical in effect are out for now.

Special materials are fine, if you can afford them with your beginning money. Masterwork, and elven masterwork are fine. If you can afford them. You probably can't.

Now don't think that you can't go through books like the Ultimate Equipment Guide. You can. Just remember that if in another game it would be a magical item, it's not available at start.

My apologies for any inconvenience or misunderstanding this has caused.

And finally Sebadias, in regards to your question.

I'll allow it if you are okay with needing double XP for the first level (and only first level). I already asked about starting at higher levels, and everyone was keen to start at first. Once you get that level, the progression returns to normal. Optionally, since Pathfinder has three different XP progressions depending on GM style, I could be convinced to put you on a slower progression than the rest for the first level (i.e., you are on slow, they are are on medium). I think that works out in your favor because the difference is not as high that way.

Done that way, you'd need 3,000 XP, where they need 2,000.

IF need be I wouldn't have anything against starting at say...4th level. A doppleganger would be fun to play =P

I'd be okay with forth level if it would make things easier.

Actually, from a strictly game start point of view, 4th level could be good. If we went with the "mercantile company" starting idea it could infer that we've all known each other for a while and have some experience on the ship and with each other, but not so much that we consider each other as friends or are even well known to one another; transfers happen all the time in corporations. It could also settle the whole issue of "Party Leader" whoever has the highest level after removing any modifiers due to race or other options could be viewed as having the most 'seniority' in the company.
