I didn't get how we choose equip, any guideline? Like initial budget or else?

You always start with the clothes on your back. But anything in addition to that is taken from your starting gold, and that is determined by... well, everything, but after I read your backstory and look at your sheet I'll give you a formula for your starting gold.

by Essoje Sun Feb 17, 2013 8:51 pm

Oh, and after you get the gold, you can use these two lists to buy your gear. Just pay attention to the material, as the stats in D20 are equivalent to cooper gear. Also, shields don't gain bonuses from different materials for now.

Crystal clear, thanks. I'll finish my PG's story and sheet first. I'll make sure to be the firstborn of a rich family owning a huge gold mine with an endless vein of ore.
Just sayin'... Wink

Thanks for the links Essoje, it's like learning the game back from the beginning!

Those work for me. I'm also in the process of tossing up a list of some other common magical items that I completely spaced doing.

@Archengeia
Gwydo:

Spoiler:

Any chance I can communicate with the Elemental while in transit? Beings that this is essentially the essence of my deity I would like to pay my respects and ask for guidance... the usual "prayer" stuff.

Spoiler:

Also, on a side note, are our character's experiences in the tutorial going to transfer over to the campaign itself?

by Snarg of Wildpaw Wed Feb 20, 2013 11:26 am

Not to speak for him, but I believe he said that if the tutorial goes well, he would transition what happened in to the main campaign.

by Sethos Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:31 pm

I have a rather odd question at this point, but is there a mainstream religion for the burun or members of the Sho? I feel I may be misspeaking every time I say "By the Gods" or something of that nature.

by Zeiss Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:59 pm

Archengeia already said in the chat that our "tutorial" campaign is already canon in the setting. ^^

First paragraph under History in the Derethian Setting Reference document explains the 8 Elemental Temples. That said, when I was building my paladin I asked Archengeia about religion and his response was:
"I haven't bothered making religions for my setting because (to be honest) it's completely unnecessary."
So I based my "belief" off the Elemental temples, focusing on Life.

Good to know.

by Hanuel and Dara(Toilarin) Wed Feb 20, 2013 2:06 pm

Gotta get the answer to something before I can act in combat: How far away are the Centaurs? Also, you didn't put Dara on the board, though I'm assuming it's right beside Hanuel.

by Gwydo Wed Feb 20, 2013 2:09 pm

I would assume (until told otherwise) that each block on the grid is a five foot square. (Standard D&D dimensions for a grid configuration.)

by Archengeia Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:51 pm

@Gwydo: Yes the first adventure (as I'm now calling it) will fully carry over to the rest of the campaign.

@Hanuel: Like Gwydo said each square is 5' as per usual. You're also right I didn't summon Dara, that's because you had to unsummon them to transit through the tree, so you will have to re-summon him on your first round.

by Hanuel and Dara(Toilarin) Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:52 pm

Oh okay. I'll do that next turn I guess Razz

Lemme edit my post.

by Araiguna Wed Feb 20, 2013 7:53 pm

I'd also like to double check where i moved too now that i know each square is 5'.

Now that it is the end of the battle, can I commune with the Life Elemental (through the tree that we transported through) to try and get assistance with healing the group?

"A good idea," Rory chimes, panning his gaze toward Hanuel. "I think it would be preferable to make our dead a priority when it comes to regaining our losses, and I think we should send someone down the ravine to tell Gnawbone that the enemy has been dealt with."

This isn't an RP thread XD

by Rory Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:04 pm

I just saw that X|

by Rory Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:06 pm

Can we make Gwydo say that in the session thread? I'd hate to have to toss my RP.

by Gwydo Thu Feb 21, 2013 7:12 pm

Rory: done.

by Rory Thu Feb 21, 2013 7:26 pm

Question for Arch concerning mana:
Does mana regerate? If so, inside combat, outside, or both? Also, if not, does mana recover when GM says it does?

Second, to any white mages:
Do we have any heal spells that would revive dead people? If Leafsong doesn't bring Dara back from the dead, what are our options?

Mana is fully restored to your current maximum after the standard full 8 hours of rest. If interrupted in this rest period, you will regain a very small amount of Mana to be determined by the GM.

White Ultimate Spell: Phoenix is the only spell that can revive the dead. However, if I remember correctly Dara is an aspect. As such it was simply "unsummoned" when killed. Hanuel should be able to simply re-summon Dara, though it may require time before he is able to do it.
