Oh I wasn't complaining, just remarking that holy crap, those scores are awesome. If I was complaining, I would have said what I disagreed with. I know that they're legit and all, I didn't mean the remark in that way.

What kind of skill setup do we have going? I have sense motive and perception at +7 and +8 respectively and also dropped a point into heal to bring it +7 as well. I can cover like 1 more skill maybe but my ability scores do not really favor more skills.

Edit: remembered why I put a 12 at INT instead of CHA, Knowledge (Religion) for for all the fun extra dark arts from splat books. +5 there now.

Omega suggested that this RP might be something we should try.

We've got no tabletop experience to speak of (outside the Munchkin & Mwahahaha! card games, neither of which truly count, wethinks), read up a bit here and there on D&D, but we're willing and interested in learning.

we're not sure exactly what sort of character concept to go with yet, but the idea so far is:
Rogue class.
either Fetchling if possible (yes, the Race Point 17 might need some sort of nerfing), or Dhampir or half-elf.
The abilities like "shadow Blending" & "disguise self" as well as the bonus to stealth are the ones that attracted us to that species. We don't fully understand the abilities related to plane shifting (yet) so those are naturally not major for us.

Rough idea beyond that is building it somewhat like a thief, with not much outright loyalty to anything except own profit. At least not initially. Fond of stealth and other sneaky stuff, but not overly skilled at magical stuff (even taking level into account)
We can't work out much more on the concept till we have race down.

Character setup so far

Omega-Necrocleric
Gecko-Kirin Monk
Primal-Lizardman Cleric
Skybird-Witch
Assallya (Maybe)-Sorceress
You're the last spot Ellri

Get those character sheets up and finalized. I will have the official post for the campaign up sometime today. Fetchling is fine for race.

Ok, started on the sheet.

Omega asked us to post these rolls here.

Ellri: repeat 6 4I6 => 13 ; 13 ; 15 ; 8 ; 10 ; 7

Going from basic dice maths, those are pretty low. Shall we roll with them or reroll?

oh, and race modifiers, add them to the rolls when put into CS, right?
Standard (+2 Dex, –2 Wis, +2 Cha)

Solace has a lot of knowledge skills and spellcraft, but nothing too special other than that.

Sujurak has Knowledge Religion and Intimidate. He's a scary son of a bitch.

Also, if someone ends up having to drop out, I found a friend who wouldn't mind joining- we have a backup, basically.

With a rogue now also in the group, we can now take 2 guards at once most likely.

ok, the sheet is more or less done now. We think. Omega has proven very helpful for figuring out how to make it tick.

with some tweaking, we made to a couple of google docs out there (formatting on the first one, removing bad traits on the second), we got it working more easily.
Rogue Eidolon's Guide to Rogues
A guide to Traits

EDIT: we're prepared to roll with the die rolls listed in previous post, but if you feel they're too low, we won't mind rerolling. Its kinda interesting to have, as Omega put it, "The Intelligence of a Troglodyte, Wisdom of a Troll and Charisma of a Gorgon"...

"+10 Initiative"

Wait, you guys are all rolling flaws? That changes the name of the game a bit.

Also, trait bonuses don't stack.

One of Elven Reflexes/Reactionary gets ignored and you only get +8 to initiative.

Flaws are fun to have.

We think having a burned Ifrit would be particularly chuckleworthy. Of course, Lovesick would also be a flaw that could cause chaos herein.

I was not going to have a flaw at first but the pathfinder flaws are just too much fun.

The only flaw I dislike is avarice because it is kind of a dick flaw that hurts the group rather than you.

I just felt that Cruelty fit Sujurak really, really well.

Seems that +10 was a mistake. Missed a rule on traits. "Trait bonuses do not stack"
so its only a +8 to initiative.

If I took a Flaw, the most appropriate one, Pride, would mean absolutely nothing to me. Oh no, a penalty on two skills I'm never going to use, how will I ever compensate?

I LOVE the pride flaw. I do not care if the flaw helps or hinders, for RPing it is absolutely fantastic.

played right, lots of flaws are supreme fun...

Following another tip from Omega, we're going to use that 20 point buy thing now that its been explained to us.

new numbers: 16 16 14 10 8 10

Thoughts on my character or helpful ideas?

As new as we are to CSing, we can't really help much, but you might find that google doc we linked above useful for traits... Its based on one made by someone that knows far more than us, but with all the traits he marked as non-optimal removed.
