Its a way of being nice so if you roll a 1 instead of 3 you have a chance of rolling a 6

Alright, but if the dice are truly random and don't rely on the previous result, what could have been a 1+0 -> 6+0 could just be a 4+2.

Any roll could be a 4+2.

Or a 1+2, 2+2 or 3+2.

Aaron

@Metool I get what you are saying that does make sense. the +2 adds to each dice. That could cause it's own set of issues though if you roll all high dice

Metool

16:03

Not... really? It works out the same. Equal chances of rolling 3s, 4s, 5s or 6s as what you suggested.

Aaron

@Metool so all it does is makes 1 and 2s into 3s?

wiat I missread

derp

I thought you said xd6+2

Go ahead and roll the d4

Metool

4d4 4d4 4d4 4d4 4d4 4d4 4d4

so is it best 3 dice, or all 4 dice?

Aaron

best three unless you roll all 4 or all 3 and then you use all the dice

Aaron

15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 12 roll one more

Metool

15.

Aaron

15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, and knock the 12 off as the lowest.

Metool

16:13

So varied.

Aaron

assign the 15s and 14 to your scores.

Metool

I wonder which score to dump...

Aaron

Not really a dump, they all get the same mod at this point.

Metool

I know, but it would take 4 more levels to raise the +2 to a +3 if I wanted to raise it.

Aaron

as a summoner I would say str would be a safe thing to 'dump'

Str altering items are common and you have a constant summon to assist you with str based checks if needed

Metool

16:15

Well, actually, I was thinking of going Synthesist because HENSHIN!

Aaron

@Metool Synthesist?

3rd party?

Metool

Paizo.

Synthesist, from Ultimate Magic.

Aaron

Not bad

In that case str would be a good dump as you use the summoned str.

Metool

There's an odd hole in the rules, though, when a biped chooses a quadruped eidolon. There's no clause about it, so I have to ask.

Aaron

@Metool I would say it's allowed you will just look like a centaur.

what are you summoning?

Metool

16:25

14 STR / 15 DEX / 15 CON / 15 INT / 15 WIS / 15 +1 (hit dice) +2 (racial) = 18 CHA

I'm not exactly certain at this point. I've got to do some browsing for ideas.

Aaron

+1 HD?

oh 1 ability point every 4 levels

Metool

Yup.

@Zachiel Ahoy!

Zachiel

hey

Aaron

I like this class.

d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/kobold-press-open-design/…

White necromancer

you summon undead but instead of forcing them to do as you want you have to actually ask them to help you.

Metool

Ooh, base class.

Aaron

16:32

@Metool ?

Metool

@Aaron Available at level 1, runs for 20 levels.

Not core, not prestige.

Aaron

Ok so you are summoner I will play a white necomancer which with some minor tweaking can be used as a healer.

@Zachiel are you interested?

Zachiel

maybe, but probably not. Depends on how this will be run and the commitment level that's gonna be needed.

Can you two summarize me what this is all about? Like if it's play by chat or forum, who's gonna DM, when?

Aaron

@Zachiel I am DM. Play by chat in this room. Story is custom based on a game a friend told me about.

When is when the players and I have time on this chat.

Zachiel

So you plan on using a GMPC, I see

Aaron

16:44

@Zachiel GMPC?

oh nevermind I gotcha

Zachiel

I'm torn. I'm not familiar with PF and one thing that really intrigued me was playing a syntethist eidolon summoner, but I guess that could become an armpower race against Metool and I don't really need that.

Metool

Eh, I don't think I would do that.

In fact, I might offer advice.

Zachiel

I think I've read you say something about summoners?

Metool

May have been Gareth. May have been me.

Aaron

Gregory// lumbering lancer?

Zachiel

16:53

And the other big problem is I'm playing in another play by chat where the expected posting rhythm is usually slower (because of long, wordy texts), which means I should either disappear for here 10 minutes at a time or take longer to post there to post my actions here...

I guess I could just roll a character and try to build it, just for the fun of it

Metool

@Aaron One's his actual name. The other, he's trying to adopt as a moniker.

Aaron

@Metool Ah

brb lunchtime

Zachiel

@Metool Lord Gregory Gareth. Sounds good.

So, random rolls for PC generation, 4 (1d4+2), discard lowest, 7 times (discard lowest set)?

Metool

I would star my earlier comment if I could.

Zachiel

1 hour ago, by Metool

So varied.

@Metool There you go

Zachiel

17:40

So what can I do with a bunch of +2?

I'm gonna try to roll the set again, just to test the randomization.

Metool

There's a smaller range because of the smaller die size.

Zachiel

14 15 15 16 16 16 not bad but I still have to see a single 17 or 18

@Metool of course

My guess is that the higher the number of d4 in a single roll, the higher the possibility that their mean is close to 2.5, by computer math (as opposed to "by law of large numbers")

back

Metool

> After an accident with a bag of holding, Gregory's skin is paper-thin, concealing an entrance to a pocket dimension that contains his organs. One day, an eldritch abomination stumbled across the pocket dimension and decided to set up shop there.

So he actually has a hollow body, leading to a dimension of organs and ineluctable horrors. Y/N?

Aaron

Sounds like fluff that shouldn't effect anything outside of storyline. Is that correct?

Metool

About that, yeah.

Aaron

I'm fine with it.

Zachiel

Uhmmmm

Aaron

18:16

@Zachiel Yes? Did you decide to join or just rolling a character for fun?

Zachiel

Isn't that like a shop that prevents carrying large quantities of money and goods to town?

Ah I think I'm rolling for fun and that's it. At least until the day I can come out with interesting character concepts on my own, that could likeably be "never"

Aaron

@Zachiel a shop? What do you mean?

Metool

@Zachiel An expression. Set up shop means to establish a workplace.

Zachiel

@Metool oh, ok

getting things too literally isn't gonna bring me anywhere

Aaron

18:43

@Metool do you want to talk about anything else in the campain?

I will probably put together some basic stuff tonight and then actually start tomorrow.

Metool

19:03

@Aaron Goals, actually.

Aaron

@Metool Such as what is the goal of the campaign?

Metool

@Aaron Motivations of characters, etc. but now is not the time, as I have bug reporting to do.

Aaron

@Metool Indeed work is calling me back as well.
