Here is the discussion thread for the rebirth of the Skull and Shackles campaign. I will be adding more information and details this evening.
Checking in. Thanks again for picking up our group!
Thanks for giving me a chance! I think we're all going to have a lot of fun. :) I am working on putting up additional rule sets in the campaign description, and then I'll get to the list of NPCs and pictures of them as well. :)
I know it's a bit early, but it'll have repercussions on earlier bits of my build, so I'd like to ask ahead of time:
At level 7, Charlotte will gain the ability to transform into a water elemental for a few hours a day.
Please correct me if I'm wrong: An elemental is able to speak and perform gestures. Given the fact that she also has the Eschew Material feat, Charlotte will therefore be able to cast while in Elemental Form.
Is that correct?
Checking in as well. Looking forward to it! I've just got to put in the gear and skill points as well.
@Charlotte, that is correct.
@Ignatius Hank, welcome! :D In regards to gear, it isn't a huge rush since you start the campaign off with only your armor and maybe essentials that you may pick up on the first day, so if you're just waiting on gear you can send me the Character sheet and we can iron out the gear details later.
@Everyone, Scoundrel had pointed out that your previous DM had allowed Max character wealth at 1st level. In S&S you're typically going to be over character level wealth once you get your own ship by at least 1 to 2 levels, so I am fine with Max character wealth at 1st level if everyone agrees, that might make your gear purchases a little easier since you had them picked out before.
I approve, thank you!
Ok, that'll work for me. As far as sending it, how would you like that sent? Glad to know that Iggy will get his armor off the bat, though.
@Ignatius, You can PM it to me or post it here. Either works for me. :)
@Charlotte, love the hag snack line! :D
So how many other PCs do we have? Cant be just the 3 of us.
There's also Janus, Variziel, and Temerith. The thread's not even been up for four hours. Have some patience.
@Everyone, Do you like how the additional rules section is looking? I'm using the spoiler tag so that its easier to read and find what you're looking for.
Looks good to me.
Can someone give me a quick rundown of how the actions work? I forget.
I like it too, and I just PM-ed Iggy's sheet to you. But for now, I'm crashing
@Charlotte, depending on the job you get on your first day the tasks are things you can do during the day or night. You still have to roll for your task and how well you do, and then the actions you take modify your job checks.
I assume you do one action every night and one every day?
... here's hoping Charlotte manages to diplomacize her way into having entertaining the crew as her job like in the old campaign, haha.
You can't monopolize entertainment though.
@Charlotte, yes you get 1 action per day and night cycle. You can even push into your actual sleep time, but there are consequences of course.
Should have Janus finalized in 9 hours or so and will post an action. Seriously lost in all the options.
@Janus, Did you have a question? Or anything I can help you with? :)
You can't monopolize entertainment though.
Well, if you want to outfiddle the fiddler, you're welcome to try. :P
(More seriously, I wasn't implying any kind of monopolization. I was alluding to the fact that, with the previous DM, Charlotte's daily job was to entertain the crew as they played.)
No, I do believe I have most of it in hand. Just have so many good options to play with and not sure how I am going. Funny thing is I am probably just going to leave him alone for the most part, just might go syringe spear shenanigans if anything.
OK, Slight rebuild into a vivisectionist chiurgeon, going syringe spear. Any problems with me going for evangelist PRC from inner sea gods?
Going by what I've seen of Janus in the previous game, it seems quite fitting.
I think it'll be exceptionally fitting. I can see it being pure creepiness.
And then I look over the vivisectionist and remember why I opted out of it the first time. Still shooting for the evangelist.
Out of curiosity, Janus: Why'd you skip on it?
Is he still going to look like Thor Gunderson? lol
I have no idea who Thor Gunderson is, but Janus's avatar reminds me of Dhalsim from Street Fighter.
Oh yeah he does! I missed that. Thor Gunderson is a character in AMCs Hell on Wheels. The same actor was also in Gotham as the Electrocutioner?
YOGA FIRE! lmao
The vivisectionist doesn't really give anything with surgeon and takes away too many things for something that would just be sneak attack on a non melee character.
And now we're just waiting on Scoundrel and our wanna-be Swordlord. Lol ;p
@Janus, No issues with that here. As long as its not 3pp, I think I've eyed the evangelist myself in the past.
@Ignatius, Scoundrel has posted, we're just waiting on Variziel. :) I wanted to give everyone a chance to post at least once before continuing, but I may go ahead and post today so that at least some RP can continue above deck. :)
Works for me. Guess I missed Scoundrel's post. The joy of working WAY too many hours. Lol
I sent Variziel a message, prob just IRL! Silly IRL.
@ Everyone, I updated the Ship actions to make it a little clearer and detailed in what sort of checks are required, and I added Entertaining the Crew to pirate entertainment with the applied rules.
As you all meet additional crew members the crew member list will grow with links to photos. :)
Is there anything else that you may have questions about in regards to your options available at this time? Don't worry, I promise it gets better! :D
@ Scoundrel, Jack Tar is pirate slang for Sailor. ;)
@Everyone, I'll be making use of a lot of pirate slang, if you'd like to use some too check out these sites! :D

There is no way in hell he could of known Scoundrels ancestor. Captain Brimstone is from quite a while ago. Someone who may have been Scoundrels father or related to him? Sure.
@Scoundrel, He was more so trying to insult Scoundrel, than claim to know his ancestor.
I know. I had a better insult but I didn't use it sadly. Could of said "Well you look like what comes out of an ass, or at least your breathe smells it." lol
Would you mind if I switched a trait out? I think I want to switch reactionary for Clever Wordplay? Or take a drawback such as Pride and then take Clever Wordplay..
@Scoundrel, either are fine with me. Just let me know what you decide. ;)
Sorry for the delay on my posting; bit of a busy time for me, will post as soon as I get a chance.
I switched out Reactionary for Clever Wordplay. I'm STILL debating taking Pride or something for another trait cause Pride does work well for him but I think it would be more focused on people badmouthing his famous ancestor that would truly piss him off more than people talking badly to him...I was possibly considering "Rich Parents" but make the "parents" more like stuff he stole or was given, some of which belonged to said ancestor...
Ive also considered ninja because I like the tricks and powers. I hate that Ki Pool is so weak for rogues. I like some of the ninja tricks but ki pool for a rogue doesnt seem worth it but I wanted Scoundrel to eventually have some "magical" type powers. Ninja is a cool class but doesnt seem to fit unless its more some western ninja without the asian gear or some sort of explanation for the powers and all.
Just kinda waiting on the final player to post before moving the story along.
Are there any decent psyhic classes out there for pathfinder?
Hey Mego, you have any interest in Jade Regent? I've always wanted to play that one too. Satisfy my ninja fetish. :-p
