    Nope, the old one was just...old. Lots of annoying quirks like overheating and shutting down at inopportune moments, losing its internet connection and being unable to reestablish the connection without rebooting, etc.

    Fortune point to re-roll the first attack and get a tiny bit of Ulric's Fury if Cassian hits: (1d100)[42] vs. 42

    I read that as the two cultists being out of sight, so I'll guess Andrei is just taking cover for the moment. That spell hurt.

    I didn't get that, I thought she was kneeling in plain sight

    And yes Winifired's courage might take another dip if she gets hurt

    Cassian tanked all his rolls in the IC thread, so tossing in an attempt at Dodge Blow in case he ends up getting hit by both zombies.

    Dodge Blow (1d100)[76] vs. 34 (Ag 44, mail armour -10)

    Agreed. I'll add something. I was wondering whether I should work up to it. Wiki says that Pharasma's priests include non-practicing Necromancers so we've come to the right place.

    I believe I created Winified as free advance + 800 XP

    But from reading back the free advance was part of that 800 XP?

    Therefore she should only have 300 to spend?

    Yay, XP!

    DrK, how do you want to handle trappings and how much do you want to plausible in-game opportunities to steer which careers are available?

    I'm aiming for Cassian to enter either Apprentice Wizard or Knight next, but while he can likely afford or finagle the trappings for Apprentice Wizard, I haven't yet been able to steer him towards seeking out a teacher. With Knight, it's the reverse - it's a natural progression from where he is, but he's nowhere near being able to afford the trappings.

    How close is he to needing to make the transition? And which one is more likley? Depending on that I can look at weaving that in to assist

    I spent 200 xp to complete Squire, so I have 200 xp left. I could spend 100 xp on AK (Genealogy/Heraldry) as well, since it's in character and I'll need to learn it when he becomes a Knight anyway.

    So I have 100-200 xp left to spend, which will allow me to enter either career immediately (200 xp for Apprentice Wizard, 100 xp for Knight). In terms of RP, Knight is probably the most obvious next step, since Cassian is literally training to become one, but Apprentice Wizard is necessary for my ultimate goal of building a fighter/magic-user. It also makes him a more rounded character in the near term - he gets to boost Int, WP and learn to read/write - and is probably cheaper to complete than Knight.

    All in all, Apprentice Wizard is probably more useful in the short term, since he's already a pretty good warrior (unless you're about to spring lots of combat specialists on us )

    Well we do have a bunch of stuff to sell - something about scooping up gems.


    Don't have to worry about Winifred for a while but at the moment looking at Dilettante or Cadet

    Taking +2 wounds to finish the advances and fast hands because he's had a bit of experience in battle now.

    I need a grimoire to advance to journeyman wizard so I might investigate something more rogue like if that's difficult to get.

    I haven't checked on what the gems were worth, but the extra kit Cassian needs to make Knight is anywhere from 550 gc to 900 gc depending on how generous DrK is about trading in old trappings and just paying the difference.

    In contrast, Apprentice Wizard requires a printed book, which is 100 gc. Still not cheap, but in a different league compared to a Knight's trappings.

    Yeah this is why Winifred took Evaluate and when we get some time we can sit down and see what we got.

    Also helps that we now have a merchant house that owes us a favour

    All except the cheapest gems are priced in gc per carat, up to 500

    Of course even if we do have that getting value from it is another matter

    The money will be something I have to work out as it’s quite complicated between Pathfinder and Warhammer

    At least wands, scrolls and potions are easy enough to port across

    Now there are 3 players so I thought I’d ask if you rather get a 4/5th player through recruitment or having NPCs tagging along?

    Recruitment but not NPC would be my preference

    Latter is more work for you

    I'm going to say the opposite. NPC before recruitment.

    Obviously running one or two NPCs is more work for you, but in all the games I've been in on GitP, recruitment is very much a gamble. You'll probably get plenty of applications, but people seem to ghost distressingly often, and then we're back to square one.

    Using NPCs also has the advantage that it doesn't have to be the same characters all the time. Depending on the style of game, DrK can introduce and retire NPCs as needed to give our group the necessary skill set to deal with the adventures ahead.

    That's PbP in a nutshell

    Sometimes everything gels, usually it doesn't but when it does you should treasure it.

    So yes I appreciate newer players may not stick around but we might well get lucky and it is great when it does

    3rd option of course is to run 2nd PC or have NPCs but we run them

    What Rax said, which doesn't mean we can't get lucky this time.

    I suppose whatever is easiest for DrK.
