Ok, so crunch is done for my Paladin submission.

As for fluff, I'm going to just sketch out the concept and worry about fleshing it out if Horus gets picked.

Personality: Young and idealistic. Eager to go out and smite evil.

Campaign trait: Friend of the family. Initially, the escort mission will seem like a chore, the result of a promise made in haste, but as the danger grows, Horus will see this duty as a divine mission.

Background: Born and raised in Sandpoint, Horus felt himself called to the local temple of Desna, though it soon became evident that he was not destained for the priesthood. With the local facilities insufficient for his further training, he was sent for more militaristic training in Magnimar. More recently, he received word of Niska's deteriorating health and returned home in time to see her before her passing. His training effectively complete, he's been idly passing his time visiting with family and friends.

The Exchange

I'm working on a paladin of Sarenrae and I was wondering if it was ok if I took my first level or two in bard (for dawnflower dervish archetype) and still be considered for the paladin/fighter slot. Or can I take dervish dance at level 1 and forgo dipping all together? :)

If you mean the Dervish Dance feat HERE, then a human paladin can take it at 3rd level.

Ah, you get that feat for free if you dip a level in bard.

You can either take a level in bard, then paladin the rest of the way and get the feat at first level, or wait till 3rd level. Your choice. And yes, I'd let it be considered the paladin / fighter slot.

This is what I'm working on for Gerrosk, a Half-orc Fighter (Unarmed Specialist). He'll have the Forest Walker and Rock Climber Alternate racial traits.

One question: Are you allowing taking Drawbacks (Ultimate Campaign) for an extra trait?

TC

Gerrosk - Appearance/Personality/Background:

Appearance: Tall with skin tinted a light bluish-green and gold-flecked eyes, Gerrosk appears to be a typical member of the Orc race, but for those that approach close enough, they will see some humor and joy reflected in his eyes which is atypical for his kind.

Personality: Quiet and reserved, Gerrosk has a tendency to observe rather than speak. Because of his upbringing, he's managed to be understanding about people taking him for one of his more savage kinsfolk, and tries to calm their fears when they take a breath from berating or cursing at him. When he enters combat though, his tendency is to be quick and precise, striking where he feels it will do the most good to protect his companions.

Background: Growing up in a small village of mostly humans (such as Sandpoint) was a tough time for Gerrosk. His mother, who in her earlier days entertained many and kept audiences smiling, never spoke about his father, but nearly every time Gerrosk or one of his sisters asked about him, she would try to hide tears. Because of his bastard birth, several times a week he found himself having to defend himself against those who, because of that or because of his heritage, would often gang up on him and try to beat him into submission. However, he kept coming back from it all stronger and stronger, both physically and mentally. When a traveling carnival stopped in the village and asked for volunteers to battle their brawler, Gerrosk surprised many when he not only stepped up to the task, but won the match (at a cost however, as one of his older sisters had developed a serious crush on the brawler, leaving with him when the troupe left to continue on it's journey).

His match was the turning point for Gerrosk it seemed. A trainer for one of the gladiator schools in Magnimar saw the match and was impressed with Gerrosk's win. Impressed enough to offer him the chance to attend his school at no cost. After discussing it with his mother and sister, Gerrosk agreed. While undergoing an intense training regimen, Gerrosk saw his fates turn once more when he became romantically involved with one of the other students. An intense relationship, the older woman ended up showing Gerrosk that it really was the person inside that mattered. However, when she left to take up a mercenary contract, he wound up a bit depressed but focused more on his training in order to complete and move on where he might have a chance to run into her once more. Throughout his training, he specialized in bare fists and exotic weapons commonly used by the monks across Varisia and from Tien.

As he neared completion of his training, his mother fell ill. Without hesitation, he returned for Sandpoint, only to arrive too late. A large amount of depression settled over Gerrosk, and he began drinking himself to death (or at least trying). However, the drink mearly served to cause problems and not actually kill him. His life was a downward spiral, but for an old friend of his mother's, Koya Mvashti. Like she had done many times before, she sat and talked with and helped him through the rough time (resulting in Gerrosk seeing her almost as his own mother).

The Exchange

Uncle Taco here submitting my paladin. I may make some crunch related changes (I don't know how he'll handle flying things at later levels :( ) and backstory tweaks but he's about 95% ready to be judged. Click through to view the profile.

Edit: Just so you don't have to dig to find it, I took the Best Customer (Ameiko) trait for this character.


Forgot to mention my timezone: gmt-8


Dotting for interest.

I'll work in a concept and post it later

The Exchange

I made some changes to the character, in particular I'm not going to dip bard and just dip fighter at level 2. I added a backstory (didn't realize I didn't have it posted before, sorry about that). Also I'm in US central standard time, gmt -6 now I think.

Also I have a question for the GM. Have you seen the Oradin build? Would you be opposed to me making that a long term goal? Or going Holy Vindicator much later in the game?

Just getting back with a little backstory for my Varisian bard submission: Vasily Petrescu.

Backstory:
Vasily was born and raised among the nomadic Varisian people. He grew up the life of gypsy wanderer, stealing, conning, and conniving to make ends meet. His tribe consisted of his extended family and few other close knit family units. He learned storytelling and singing and dancing by the fireside, finding the natural gift of entertaining his tribe with the stories and songs he made up.

When he was a young lad, his father was mortally wounded in a fight with a group of Chelish nobles. The Varisians had swindled the nobles of their coins, and the nobles rode them down for revenge. As his father lay dying, Vasily was given his longsword and armor. After his father's death, the youth was made to help raise his two younger sisters, Anya and Magda, and provide for his mother.

In his teens, Vasily, an attractive and charismatic boy, had his way with the ladies. An romantic encounter with the chief of his tribe's daughter ended badly for Vasily. Too poor to marry the girl, who was promised to another tribe's future chief, Vasily was cast out and forced to make his way on his own. Worse yet, his elderly and ailing mama and sisters were now without a bread-winner.

Trying fiercely to succeed, Vasily came to Sandpoint, the nearest settlement after his banishment, and is looking for ways to make easy money to support his family. He is not afraid of rough work or shady employment and the idea of a quick buck appeals to him. He has talent as a performer, and the fearlessness bred by life with the Varisians.

Description: Unkempt long dark hair, luminous dark eyes, swarthy olive skin of the Varisian people. Dressed as a gypsy in bright colors: orange, yellow etc. He is on the short side and lean, but very wiry and quick of movement.

Adjectives: fiery tempered, fun-loving, attractive, makes unwise choices, focused on now, not long term; desperate to feed his family; morally ambiguous.

Please tell me if you need more, or if this is of interest to you. Again I'll make alias if I get selected for the game. Thanks for your interest.


Withdrawing my submission looks like the original jade regent game i was in will actually start


It appears that there are enough submissions for a god team to be built with relative ease.

Enjoy yourselves, this AP is a BLAST!

In your alias, the "class/levels" line still says Bard, but your crunch says Paladin. The easiest solution is to erase the "left" side and just leave the crunch.

Okay, here is my app for Elk’lyn.

Sorry it took so long. If there's anything you do not agree, please tell me and I'll fix it. :)

Background:
Born from an ancient elven Family, Elk’lyn was banished from home as a child. She carried an ancient curse in her blood. She was able to see in the dark, and the family patriarch, could not have that dishonor in his house.
For many and many years, she lived in the streets in a human city, often hiding during the day and going out during the night. She loved climb to the highest place and keep looking at the moon and stars, Elk did not remember anything from her family beliefs, but she loved the moon and the light.
The years passed and she began to use her knowledge of human cities to get a job as a guide. Often she did not received anything for her services, for she was still a ‘child’, but she was patience and in time, she began to work for a caravan master as a bodyguard. She was fast both in mind and in body, but frail, so they began to train her to use bows and other kind of weapons. She training as a child in her elven home came back to her and she was able to master the use of many weapons, melee or long range. She lived in that caravan for many years. The caravan master and his wife, took her as hey ‘daughter ’, and for the first time, she knew what was to have a family.
During a trip to the distant city of Sandpoint, her caravan ambushed during the night and caught off-guard, could muster little resistance as they were slaughtered. Left for dead in the road, and only awake days later in Sandpoint to find that only she had survived the attack.
Obsessed with the bandits that killed her parents, Elk stayed in the town, Learning its secrets and trying to get information that can help her to track the killers.
She was a frequent presence at The Rusty Dragon, and once, after drinking more than should, Ameiko, the lovely Ameiko was able to get her history. It did not took long then. With the Sheriff Hemlock help, Shalelu tracking skills and Kendra resorces, they found the bandids and brought then to justice.
Now, she lives in the town, she has a debit to pay, and even tho Ameiko always says he only did what was right, the right thing was that saved Elk.

Crunch:

Abilities:

Str 13
Dex 18
Con 11
Int 16
Wis 12
Cha 12

Darkvision: the ability to see 60 feet even in total darkness. Darkvision is black and white only but otherwise like normal sight.

Spell-Like Ability: light at will

Standard Racial Traits

Ability Score Racial Traits: Elves are nimble, both in body and mind, but their form is frail. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, and –2 Constitution.
Size: Elves are Medium creatures and thus receive no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Type: Elves are Humanoids with the elf subtype.
Base Speed: Elves have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages: Elves begin play speaking Common and Elven. Elves with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Celestial, Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.
Defense Racial Traits

Keen Senses: Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.
Magical Racial Traits

Weapon Familiarity: Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.

Alternate Racial Trait:

Darkvision: Though uncommon, some groups of elves are born with darkvision, rather than low-light vision. In many cases this is taken as a sign of a drow in the elf's ancestry, and can lead to persecution within the elf's home community. Elves with this racial trait gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, but also gain sensitivity to light and are dazzled in areas of bright light or within the radius of a daylight spell. This racial trait replaces low-light vision.

Lightbringer: Many elves revere the sun, moon, and stars, but some are literally infused with the radiant power of the heavens. Elves with this racial trait are immune to light-based blindness and dazzle effects, and are treated as one level higher when determining the effects of any light-based spell or effect they cast (including spell-like and supernatural abilities). Elves with Intelligence scores of 10 or higher may use light at will as a spell-like ability. This racial trait replaces the elven immunities and elven magic racial traits.

Favored Enemy (Ex): Humanoid(Human)

At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.

At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.

If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

Track (Ex): A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Traits:

Fast-Talker
You had a knack for getting yourself into trouble as a child, and as a result developed a silver tongue at an early age.

Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff is always a class skill for you.

Best Friend: You are best friends with one of the NPCs;
you’ve grown up together, and while your friend has had a much more exciting life than you so far, you hope one day to follow in your friend’s footsteps and see the world—or perhaps even become an adventurer yourself. You’ve picked up a lot from your friend, but particularly his or her skill in interacting with others. If Ameiko is
your best friend, you gain a +2 trait bonus on Diplomacy checks. If Sandru is your best friend, you gain a +2 trait bonus on Bluff checks. Whichever skill you gain a trait bonus on, that skill is always considered a class skill for you. In addition, in situations where your best friend is in danger, you gain a +1 trait bonus on all attack rolls
against foes that threaten your friend.
NPC Choice: Ameiko It may be that Ameiko do not really consider Elk a 'Best friend', but this is how Elk see her.

Effect: You take a –2 penalty to AC against attacks with improvised weapons and a –2 penalty to CMD against dirty trick combat maneuvers.

Feats:

Point-Blank Shot (Combat)
You are especially accurate when making ranged attacks against close targets.

Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

Skills: 6+3+1(fav Class):

+6 Bluff (Cha)
+5 Climb (Str)
+7 Diplomacy (Cha)
+8 Disable Device (Dex)
+5 Intimidate (Cha)
+7 Knowledge (Local) (Int)
+7 Knowledge (Geography) (Int)
+7 Perception (Wis)
+8 Stealth (Dex)
+5 Survival (Wis)

Not sure if it matters, but having had Tyr (Skorn) and Avan (Wolfgang) as players in games I run, I find them to be excellent posters both in terms of quality and frequency. They keep the games interesting and entertaining.

I also play in a game with YoricksRequiem (hi, Kyra the Hammer!) and know he posts regularly and in-character.

I have not had the pleasure of playing with others who are applying, but would be please as punch to get to play with any (or all) of those listed above.

Even if I am not selected, I recommend these three without reservation. Take it for what it's worth!


Thanks Doc, I'll do my best to keep up both the quality and frequency of my posts :)

Most of my experience with DoctorEvil were through being a player in his game, and as a DM he has showered us with excellent posts and a fast paced game, I believe he'd be a welcome addition to any game he joins. I have not had the pleasure of playing with anyone else here, but maybe after this recruitment ends I will, either way good luck everyone.

Some questions:

Ok, you are a Ranger 1, right?
Any archetype?
Disable device is not a class skill, and you do not get trapfinding so you can not find magical traps. (this is ok, just stating the obvious.)
I have not gone over the character in detail. These few things just stood out for me, since I love playing rangers.

Here is my submission for Gundar Ironbeard, cleric of Torag. I am GMT -5 (US EST)

Background:

Spoiler:
Gundar Ironbeard grew up with the Ironbeard dwarves. The great-grandson, grandson and son of a cleric of Torag, young Gundar seemed destined for the priesthood. There was something else Gundar seemed to be just as strong as his faith in and that was warfare. He excelled in the combat training required for all dwarves of the clan and dreamed about being in the vanguard of a dwarven line, calling out prayers to Torag and vanquishing all enemies with his warhammer. Unfortunately for him, the Ironbeard clan is at peace. Gundar quickly tired of spending endless days in the temple offering prayers to Torag without excitement and yearned for adventure. It was a sad day when he left his clan, but with his hammer in his hands and his pack on his back, he knew this is what he must do. He found himself in Sandpoint hiring himself out as a caravan guard when they came through, or working the tavern as a bouncer (free ale was one of the many perks he enjoys). He is disappointed that he has not found his life of adventure and keeps entreating Torag to allow him to fulfill his destiny-destroying evil with a prayer to Torag on his lips.

I actually did. :) I think going the Unarmed Fighter route will wind up being the most interesting, especially using the Sense Motive and Snake Style....

Yes, I'm using the Urban Ranger, here is the Link. I get DD as starting skill and trapfinding at lvl 3. In that case, I can find magical traps, but I can only disable then after lvl 3 when I get trapfinding.

Yes, I'm using the Urban Ranger, here is the Link. I get DD as starting skill and trapfinding at lvl 3. In that case, I can find magical traps, but I can only disable then after lvl 3 when I get trapfinding.

Ah, that wasn't in the initial sheet. Thanks,

Duradin is a jovial fellow who defining features are his flame red hair and propensity for drinking and adventure. Like all Dwarves, his luxurious braided beard is a point of pride - as is his Dwarven heritage - and he loves a good fight.

Background:
“I was born in mighty Janderhoft. Aye, just speaking the name brings back the memories,” Duradin slaps his knee wistfully. “A warm hearth at your back, the sound of hammers shaping metal in your ears, and the feel of stone beneath your feet! A grand life it was, but where was the adventure? The glory of battles won? The heft of a greataxe in your hands? Nowhere I’ll tell you; that’s why I left. If someday my beard is gray and I have a story to tell, I will return to the Sky Citadel.” With a smile he adds, “If not, they can carry me back when I’m dead.”
Religion:
“Angradd watches over all warriors. In battle he decides who lives and who dies - only those that seize the moment are assured success. I can’t say I've converted many folks over the years, but I spread the word in my own way, and Angradd has seen fit to bestow unto me his favor.”
Why Sandpoint:
“My travelling brought me all around Varisia. Sandpoint was just a stick in the mud back then - say 40 years ago - when I first came through town and met Niska. I was an unruly youth, bent on self-destruction, and she was a fortune teller that helped point me in the right direction. I’d stop by whenever I was coming through on this caravan or this and that-” he pauses for a moment’s reflection “-sometimes it’s hard watching you humans burn your candles so fast... Well, I don’t know how she found me, but when I got the message to return to Sandpoint, I did. And here I am now, promised to look after a 60 year old woman if she decides to go traveling! Ha, serves me right!”

Darn it, saw another Dwarven Cleric on the list after I'd already finished out my character sheet. Here's my submission anyways, sorry to double up. I'm running Wrath of the Righteous right now as GM in another thread, and I'm looking for another AP to take part in as a player.

I present Ekran, redeemed fighter. Fluff up in a bit, if it's not too late.


Background:
Ekran was born the second bastard to low-class Cheliaxian stall merchants in Egorian. His oldest and youngest siblings being the true-bloods of the family, they were never made to work at the market, whereas Ekran and his older bastard brother, Wieprz, were made to do all the hard work and were routinely beaten on days where there were no sales. When he came of age, Ekran caught the fancy of a pretty young elf that enjoyed his upbeat demeanor despite his upbringing. However, it so happened that Wieprz also had eyes for the elf. Such was his jealousy, Wieprz accused the lass of stealing just as an Order of the Scourge Knight passed. The young lady was beheaded on the spot for her impudence.

Ekran left that night, not even bothering to close the stall. Happening upon a small group of travelers on the road, he followed them on their adventures until they eventually landed in Sandpoint. The relaxed attitude in the small(ish) town allowed him to finally know some peace.


Description and characteristics:
Ekran is tall, broad shouldered, with sunken eyes and tangled black hair. He is rather uncomfortable around Halflings, as he's not entirely sure how to act around them. He holds no contempt or hatred for the smallfolk, but feels awkward and unsure of what to say to Halflings. When in such situations, he rubs his hands together and nervously whistles bawdy tavern songs.


Hope it's not too late. Thought I'd throw my hat into the ring...

Description:
Keegan stands 6' 10", black hair, brown eyes, and a short beard. He is a man of few words, deciding that the horrific vulgarities of his former masters had filled his head with enough speech to last two lifetimes. He's eager to see his life turned towards something of meaning, but some of the old traits of being a pit fighter and raider resolve in moments of short temper where his responses are with his fists. But he strives to curb that side of his personality as frequently as possible.

Loyalty is important to him. He's found new ideas of "management" from Sandru where being a caravan guard doesn't equate to taking what is desired at a whim, but actually serving. The time he's spent with him has shown Keegan that not all the world is as dark as Caras and his goons.

History:
An orphan child of the Goblinoid Wars in Isger, Keegan was a horrid product of the harsh ministrations of the Devil Nuns of Cheliax and the even harsher training of a group of mercenaries who purchased Keegan when he was 12. Caras, the mercenary band leader who bought him, saw in Keegan the brutal foundations of a prized fighter and enforcer.

Into the foothills of the Five Kings Mountains the young boy was taken. At times combat was all Keegan learned, at others he was left to fend for himself in the wilds. But in all the years he served Caras there was little to be done but to survive. Caras and his bloody band of men were sought after by both caravans traveling into Druma to the very bandits who sought to raid them. Inside Keegan, there were small embers of fire that continued to burn. Banditry, assault, pit fighting, this was not a the destiny his father had hoped for his son.

Many years later, in the summer of Keegan’s 19th year, Caras & Co began extending their empire eastward. In truth, it was less an extension and more of a rout by Chelaxian patrols who chanced them from the foothills to the boarder of Molthune. There, Caras hired out his group as low level enforcers in Molthune's war with Nirmathas. But Caras, full of greed, saw an opportunity to delve into the riches of the war effort and soon found himself and his men on the run once more.

A year later, finding themselves amongst the scum of Kaer Maga, Keegan growing to resemble the stone cliffs of his homeland, Caras engineered another attempt at self employment. He found a secretive location from which to strike out at local caravans. On once such encounter, their blood still boiling from a successful escape, the group stumbled upon a farmhouse on the edge of a forest, a small creek running nearby. The sight caught Keegan by surprise, a stirring in his guts that brought back memories of his home in the south of Isger all those years before. He hadn’t been more than 8 when he was taken from his family, but the home before him was a gut-wrenching reminder.

”Burn it,” Caras had ordered, his words ever simple, his facial features not altering from their normal cast of stone.

His mercenary band lept forward with glee, eight of them including Keegan, armed and armored. Keegan stepped into the clearing, but stopped after a moment, heavy flail at his side swinging like a pendulum of uncertainty and doubt.

”Why wait?” Caras asked from behind him. In the distance, the rest of the band was already whooping and joining the attack. L’oh the half-orc kicking in the front door and going inside.

”I won’t…” Keegan resisted. Caras’ boot connected with his back and sent him to the ground.

Caras spat upon Keegan ”You will, you will or I’ll…” But his words were cut off as a longbow shaft took him in the throat. All of the mercenary leader’s years paid in full by the blood price.

Keegan saw the rest of the band either shot or cut down or burned alive as a trio of humans emerged from the home, one of them a spellcaster sending gouts of flame from his mouth like a dragon from the north.

Though the band of mercenaries had been ruthless and unforgiving, Keegan’s loyalty - however misplaced - urged him to stand up and charge, the battle rage clouding his mind as he closed the distance. Through the red haze of his anger, Keegan saw the spellcaster raise a hand in his direction and mutter a single foreign word.

All was a dazzling display of colors and stars quickly swallowed by the emptiness of the void.

-----

Many hours later, the sun having set in the west, Keegan awoke to the night. The rest of the band still lay dead in the clearing and around the perimeter, but of those who killed them there was no sign save for a letter pinned by an arrow to the front door of the house.

Stranger:
At the behest of a man smarter than me, I’m giving you a chance. Apparently a man of your stature shouldn’t be gutted and purged like the rest of these slimy foothillers. Journey east to the hamlet Dondol. It will take you some time, but if you find your way there in one piece, seek out a man named Sandru and tell him you’re in the market for a shiny knife. There may be work for you that pays more in honor and less in blood.

Keegan remained in the house for the night, gathering up the gear of his comrades and finding what he could use and what he may be able to sell. Then he considered his options. Although there was only two, it seemed to Keegan more options than he’d had his entire life after being taken from his home.

So the next morning, gathering the gear he’d collected, Keegan set off for Dondol.


Ok, submissions closed.

I have made up my mind on 3 of the 4. Give me an hour or so and I'll announce all the characters.

All the characters are worthy, and I thought briefly about running two parties, but decided I have enough on my plate now.

So. Will the following four players / characters head over to the discussion thread and check in.

Paladin: Saif Al Fajr
Cleric: Gundar Ironbeard
Wizard: Ventyrial (Tyr)
Ranger: Elk’lyn
