anthropomorphic manimals are in and around Lichstone. is that the same as awakened animals? what is the origin? Tortles, rat-folk, rabbit-folk are from either the Forever Forest or the swamplands in South Central Drelin while wolfin kin and kenku are mostly from beyond the mists in Lichstone. Kenku are often from the Lichstonian town of Ravenstone, they tend towards divination as oracles and witches. They are known to be fiercely pro-lichking in a country of pro-lichking citizens.

good question. I would imagine he was dour and quiet, relying on you PCs to bring the 'kid fun energy'. Overall grateful to you guys. I see him in a state of shock for the entire 10 days and more, not so much coping as going through the motions. He only pepped up when he showed you the vast caves on the manor grounds. Did that help answer your question? Know(nobility/royalty or local)15 The only other detail that I know is that as the young leader of his house, his knighting ceremony and godly pledges are legit under Lichstonian law. others are free to add ideas.

this is my expert engineer. he will be accompanying noble PCs fix a dilapidated barony. he has 4 feats to fill, any ideas? I listed possible feats below. earth craft, education, fearless, dodge. he also gets an additional martial weapon proficiency. I was going to go with composite long bow. any ideas?

don't worry namo. there is always the point buy.

just musing on your noble. I think of New Castle as the well fortified of the 3 dam baronies, the strongest, richest and strictest. unless you object, perhaps the Zieboldts are the 2nd house in New Castle in power and prestige. you are the trading house and they are the military house. their power is dependent on your houses trade and you rely on their protection. if you don't like it, don't use it. being from New castle you would know the 3 dam baronies were created 50 years ago during the second round of funding for New Gotham. Created a act as barrier between both the chaotic wastelands and the dangerous swamps and New Gotham. The dams helped drain areas for orchard and farming and helped relations with swamp folk who appreciated how a new lake showed up filled with fish. Another brilliant strategic move executed flawlessly by his highness the Lichking of course.

Chapter 1: Knights of Sorrow At the luxurious Wayne Manor, you are welcomed by a stressed butler named Alfred. Once inside you are reunited with your companions from 20 years ago (aka the other PCs) relaxing in a plush fainting room. Alfred leaves to fetch Count Bruce, not returning for an hour. He begins "This is intended to be a private conversation. Unfortunately, the Count is predisposed this evening and we will have to begin without him." He seems annoyed. "I have become aware of your holy and noble pledge to master Bruce. First, let me say, thank you for coming. Now...I am afraid, as his recently appointed power of attorney I am alarmed by recent spending and as his friend I'm concerned with his recent choices." The proper man, impeccably dressed in black and white goes on to explain that Bruce Wayne has extended himself into dangerous places, spending wildly on nights out with known criminals, trading expensive arts, making strange donations, and most concerning... private expenditures. This spending is impacting Wayne Enterprises, Wayne Bank and the Wayne Academy of Youth and worse, his social ranking amongst the nobles. "I have the immediate spending under control, under threat of quitting, however, there is a matter which is beyond my reach, here in the city. The barony of Soursoot Meadows is a Wayne property given to the family by the Lichking himself for Thomas Wayne's surgical mastery and charitable contrabutions. Soursoot Meadows is the middle of the three dam baronies, currently under the leadership of Bruce's uncle Dr. Victor Fry. Opening Bruce's mail, I was away at the capital city for a few months, I found concerning letters from the Meadows. Taxes are overdue and Dr Fry is not responding to my inquires. This is enough to release him from title of Baron and install any of you who have even a modest claim to the meadows, master Wayne can transfer power but his uncle might not want to vacate the position. There is an adventuring party that settled in Soursoot, they are overdue for help constructing a schoolhouse, barn and temple to Bast, Kord and Dumathion. There is concerns about the main bridge over the Merzy river that connects Soursoot to New Gotham. There has been no repairs to the roads or the center of town in years, people have been leaving the area, the soldiers manning the dam are waiting for overdue pay. An expert in dunguneering and engineering will accompany you for the first month, that is all we can afford him for. A top engineer, a Mr. Doku Compasser will accompany you to assess damages to the bridge and oversee construction of the barn, schoolhouse and trinity shrine. K(local or nobility/royalty) 15-Doku is the 2nd most sought after engineer in all of Lichstone, behind only his legendary father who is rumored to have a personal relationship with the lichking himself. making him amongst the highest ranking non-noble in Lichstone. Not to mention a bad person to get killed if you want to avoid the wrath of the Lichking. The Manor house, known as Soursoot Manor at Whitewell, is unoccupied by Bruce's uncle. I hear he stays at his castle by the dam. Soursoot Manor will be your home as you find out what Dr Fry up to and try to sort this barony out. One of you have a claim to the barony as your family ruled before the Wayne Family was gifted it 30 years ago. You will want to find out what needs to be done first and where to spend what little money I can muster. The goal is take control of the barony and make it a productive asset. Your pledges will be fulfilled if you can do this for Bruce, he is going through a tough time and needs your help. Be careful with Victor Fry, the doctor seems to defying the will of his highness the king. Anyone willing to do this is either foolhardy or he knows something we don't. Speaking of the wrath of the lichking, if we can't turn this around for Bruce... Good luck. Do well and we can talk about you receiving lands and property in Soursoot Meadows. Any questions?" K local 20K local 20= the Whitestone well is a pilgrimage site for many Lichstonians because the well was here before the original survivors of the generation ship crash landed on Drelin and founded Lichstone. The incredibly durable sparkling white stone origin is curious since no such stone is quarried anywhere on Drelin. K religion 20 K religion 20 the Whitestone well has fey runes and symbols for the lord of cats-bast. Thought by most to placed here by the gods long before people roamed on Drelin.

yes. a gen thread for questions would be good. not sure how to do that yet. I am have a lot of trouble with the new site. I change it to L7 +1000xp to start for xp wiggle room. but yes you can use xp and start a level 6 character or do buy off. cohorts can be creatures but they can't do a LA buy out to start... I hope that makes sense. if you start at 6th level then your cohort would start 4th. That is a good point about longer lived races, you definitely don't have to be a child when bruce was a 10 year old, that was 20 years ago (hence, human PCs will likely be in the 29-33 range).

I considered mandating good or lawful neutral alignments (esp. for one part of module) it will assume the party is a force of good but ultimately I want original ideas with little restrictions in the way. I find the vast majority of MW people are down to clown and can handle edgy. did you have an idea for your cohort? perhaps an observing Bene Gesserit sister who has loyalty to the sisterhood first you second and your house third.... a psion wilder or psychic. just a thought.

can we get the standard quick rundown of your House Corrino. flag, barony. you can be from one of the Molten Baronies or make a third MB that your house runs. Your house could have trade and diplomatic connections with the beautiful high desert city of women - Basilica- home of the Bene Gesserit. Also, I am concerned that a NE character might not have the same motivations as a good character, for instance, does your character want to help a fellow nobleman through improving a barony? Fulfilling an old vow to a wounded friend in need? Civic improvements and improving the lives of farmers? Helping cats? That being said, I have faith in your ability to fit into a newly forming RP group and I could definitely see your character being motivated by helping a powerful ally, potentially receiving/sharing an estate, increasing reputation through deeds and accomplishments.

I love the oracle class but it is from pathfinder. A somewhat similar class is the mystic from DLCS. It is under powered compared to cleric or druid so I give the class a domain and either a familiar/animal companion or extra 1st level feat. Kenku "oracle" as mystic 👍. you get to reroll 1's for HP.

Cohorts get NPC wealth by level so 5th=4300 gp ; 6th=5600 gp stats= cohorts can try their luck with 3d6 6xs ; they can always use the elite stat array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, & 8) at 1st level. like you, your cohorts don't have to worry about small expenses (as nobles and noble adjacent you will eat fine food/stay fine establishments and you won't have to track that expense) but your gold will be responsible for equipping cohort in the future.

just so you know, I am still figuring out this new OS, I have only the vaguest idea as to when this will take off. your concept sounds good. Perhaps the Harkonnens are somewhat reliant on Wayne finance just to give your PC an extra reason to want to help Bruce or maybe Bruce financed your training or your house could be the diplomatic bridge for the elven imperium and Wayne Enterprise. I imagine Gedi Prime has lots of lava fields and coal mines. looks like you will be using the point buy.

The OOC worked in the above post but not in the game I'm trying to run. There is no text showing up. Also, the OOC looks the same as all the other text. Is that not really dumb? You can't see where there is hidden text without hovering over every single letter.

I am having trouble using this new site. I used the last one just fine. I can't even use OOC to get hidden messages. OOCwhy doesn't this work? is there a Utube video that explains how to use this site? is anyone else having trouble?

thanks Dax

I want to play PF2 more than almost any other game on the planet. I was wondering/concerned... the new system has a fair amount of reactions which occur on other people turns and when a reaction is declared, it will likely change the decision for any following actions that turn. This would wreck havoc on pbp games? Am I wrong about this or just overblowing the problem?

I saw this ad too late to get caught up and to make an application, but I do have a question. Has anyone read Brothers Majere? Its a DL novel were two bros (a wiz and fighter) investigate a city of cat lovers that have lost nearly all their cats! I loved it and recommend it to all cat positive fantasy fans.
