[spoiler=Bloodline power]
Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you cast a spell with the electricity or sonic descriptor, increase the save DC by 1.
Bloodline Powers: Your mastery of the storm is reflected in the unique panoply of powers you manifest.
Thunderstaff (Sp): At 1st level, you can touch a weapon as a standard action, giving it the shock property for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your sorcerer level (minimum 1). At 9th level, you can confer the shocking burst property instead, but the duration of the power is halved. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.
Stormchild (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain resist electricity 5 and resist sonic 5, and treat wind effects as being one step less severe. At 9th level, you treat wind effects as being two steps less severe and gain blindsense 60 feet against concealment from natural or magical fog, mist, or weather effects.
Thunderbolt (Sp): At 9th level, you can command a stroke of lightning to strike from above in a 5-foot-radius cylinder 60 feet high. The thunderbolt inflicts 1d6 points of damage per sorcerer level; half of this damage is electricity and half is sonic. A Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier) halves this damage. Creatures failing their saves are deafened for 1 round. At 9th level, you can use this ability once per day, at 17th twice per day, and at 20th three times per day. This power has a range of 120 feet.
Ride the Lightning (Sp): At 15th level, as a full-round action you can become a living lightning bolt and move in a straight line up to 10 times your speed. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity while moving in this way. Creatures or objects in your path are affected as by your thunderbolt power. Creatures do not block your movement but solid barriers do unless they are reduced to 0 hit points. You can use this power once per day for a number of rounds equal to your sorcerer level.
Storm Lord (Ex): At 20th level, you are one with the storm. You gain immunity to deafness, stunning, and wind effects and gain blindsight 120 feet against concealment from natural or magical fog, mist, or weather. Once per day, when attacked with an electricity or sonic effect, you may forgo your saving throw and absorb the energies of the attack, healing 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage the attack would otherwise have dealt.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency All simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield.
Weapon Familiarity(Racial): Proficient with slings and treat any weapon with the word “halfling” in its name as a martial weapon.

Level 1 = 4 Spells/day
Physical Description 3'1"; 32lbs; almond skin, blondish hair and blue eyes. Kenza uses a strong hickory wand as a walking stick.
Personality
Kenza is cheerful and optimistic, happy and easygoing, unless her kin are threatened. Then her inner nature comes forth and she becomes as unpredictable and unforgiving as the lightning that flows in her veins.
Faction
Kenza is a member of the Pathfinder Society Silver Crusade, although the Cloudhopper caravans have worked for the Grand Lodge, Dark Archives, Liberty's Edge, and even the Exchange.
[spoiler=History] Kenza was born at a roadside camp of her halfling caravan, where exactly she isn't sure, but what everyone remembers is the terrible storm that raged while her mother was in labor and the lighting striking her family's wagon the moment of her birth. Although her given name was Kenza, most everyone calls her Sparky.
Kenza spent her early years travelling with the Cloudhopper clan caravans. The caravans brought her to Absolom, and here she has stayed, but it is time to find adventure or move on - or perhaps both."
Friend-Known
Kaleb Cloudhopper, a distant uncle of Kenza is the patriarch of the Cloudhopper clan, and a Seeker of the Silver Crusade. He has been subtly preparing and pushing Kenza to take up the mantle of the Silver Crusade.
Friend-Unknown
Alder, a halfling ranger has been working as a scout and guide to the Cloudhopper clan caravan. He has also been keeping tabs on Kenza and reporting to Kaleb.
Enemy-Known
Jerrilonne Arionne of the Cheliax noble family, House Arionne has taken offense at the activities of the Cloudhopper Caravan, Silver Crusade, Kaleb and for some reason, Kenza in particular. He has vowed to eliminate the little "lightning witch" and send her body to Kaleb as a message. While word of his rants has reached the clan, so far little action has followed.
Enemy-Unknown
A well kept secret is that Jerrilonne has in fact acted. He beleives the only way to kill a halfling is to send a halfling to do the job - and the Halfling known as "Hamstring Hammmond" is hunting Kenza.
Contact in Absolom
Rillka Shadowcat is a member of the thieves guild of Absolom. She is a former Cloudhopper caravan member, but is still a Cloudhopper clan member and supporter. Kenza has been instructed to find Rillka if she gets into trouble and needs "help".
I live in the US, East coast, and post daily during weekdays as the character can contribute.
Hm..I just realized I made Samsi's Pathfinder Contact the same as her Unknown Friend. Is that alright or would you prefer there being a fifth association in there, Trips? It just seemed to flow well when I was putting it together.
@Tanner - For my games, yes. RAW, no. There is supposed to be a pending errata on the feat, but nothing yet. It only makes sense that if you allow it with one handed weapons like a katana or longsword that you should be able to apply it to a shortsword or the like. I'm fine with this.
Interesting.
Looking at the entries so far and considering the time left I think I might switch to something more...divine.
And in two seconds I already figured out the concept.
Bum shaman.
Likely to toss in an Oracle. Not sure what type, but I have enjoyed playing them recently.
Before everyone jumps on the divine wagon, my incomplete submittion is this profile.
Longbow Warpriest.
Writing background now, but It won't be a super long dissertation, this is the first adventure of a first level character for crap sake.
This is what I have so far im working on the background hope to have it completed soon but here is my crunch ^_^

Oversized Goblins: A few goblins attain a much larger size than their kin. No one is exactly sure why they grow to be giants among their kind, but it's probably due to a combination of luck, diet, and constant access to food. These goblins are monsters among their own kind, not just in height, but also in girth and in strength. If not cast out for eating all of the tribe's food, oversized goblins often become the bosses of their tribes, and the most powerful of them become chiefs.
Oversized goblins are Medium size, and grow to 4 to 5 feet tall. They tend to be particularly obese, weighing between 225 and 275 pounds. Instead of the normal racial ability score modifiers for goblins, oversized goblins gain a +2 bonus to Strength, a +2 bonus to Dexterity, and a –2 penalty to Charisma.
Skilled: Goblins gain a +4 racial bonus on Ride and Stealth checks.
Fast Movement: Goblins gain a +10 foot bonus to their base speed
Darkvision: Goblins see perfectly in the dark up to 60 feet
Alchemist FCB The alchemist gains fire resistance 1. Each time this reward is selected, increase fire resistance by +1. This fire resistance does not stack with fire resistance gained from other sources.

I am frequently awake during nights, though I’m trying to switch my schedule to a more day-time reliable one. I am most active between 6pm to 6am, and can post from my phone, though I frequently read and post outside of these times, as I rarely get decent sleep. Every other weekend, I have my son, and would be limited to 2 posts per day on every other Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
I’ve been waiting for a game to actually take off, as it seems that the ones I’ve gotten involved with have fizzled for various reasons out of my control. Unfortunately, as of yet, I haven't got a lot of "play" posts in.
I am a divine healer/support with a focus on keeping myself out of direct melee combat.
I will also want to be dipping into soulkinfe[soulbolt] for “Emergency ammo”, and I would like to be able to role play gaining this power to manifest “psychic arrows”
Anchéad was born to a clan of elves that separated themselves from civilization in order to better develop their innate magical skills. When Anchéad was 12, the clan adopted him to a travelling merchant-priest of Hathor from Orision, because Anchéad was born without any magical aptitude. For the last 8 years, Anchéad has learned from this priest how to survive in a civilized world, travelling from temple to temple, and bringing with them the wares of their journey. The priest, who Anchéad refers to as “Ka’hem”, also taught Anchéad that it was wise to be able to produce your own wares, and something that is both lucrative and useful. Anchéad, being a very skilled archer, decided to learn to craft weapons and armor, specifically focusing on being a bowyer/fletcher.
At the age of 20, Anchéad and Ka’Hem discovered that Anchéad had the blessings of Hathor upon him. Ka’Hem further taught Anchéad how to share the love and revelry of Hathor with others, and while Anchéad wasn’t as gifted a priest as Ka’Hem, he had his own set of specialized gifts granted by Hathor, and was often times charged with hunting beasts to cook for the revelries.
Ka’Hem also brought Anchéad into the fold of the Bellflower Network, and in 8 years, the both of them traveled all of Golarion. The last journey they took together was an attempt to escort freed slaves from the border of Cheliax all the way to Qadira. After they got into Taldor, they were ambushed, and Ka’Hem sacrificed himself to kill the last Hellkinght. The slaves didn’t make it to Qadira, but disbanded into the wilderness, leaving Anchéad alone with the body of the man who had become his father.
Anchéad traveled to the legendary city of Absalom because it was the only place left that Ka’Hem hadn’t gotten to visit in his long life. Anchéad spread Ka’Hem’s ashes in the pit surrounding the Starstone Cathedral. After spreading his father's ashes, Anchéad noticed that one of the one of the freed slaves had followed him from Taldor. Now Anchéad feels sad for the slave because he hasn’t spent enough time in Absalom to find any Bellflowers in yet, though he is seeking them out.

Rohelio De la Sangre was found in an old building when a group of advancers came to destroy the slavers that were hiding there. The leader of this party was an inventive young alchemist Diana De La Sangre and when she came upon this fat small baby of a goblin her hart went out to it, having just lost her child se saw this as a chance to do two things one have a new baby to raze as her own and to prove that it does not matter what you are greatness can come from anywhere.
So she took this little terror home and began to take on the role of mother. It was hard at first but over the next few years it was clear that her little Rohelio was just as well-mannered as any child. She knew that he had to keep his face hidden for most would not give him a chance to speak if his gobliness was seen, but never the less she razed him and loved Rohelio as any mother would.
At the age of five Rohelio’s talent for alchemy came forth when she heard a small explosion come from her lab. When she came and saw her small child covered in soot she knew that the typical explosive side of alchemy would not do and could make others think less of him. So she began his training in anatomy for who could hate one that could save them from a sickness or injury when clerics weren’t around. Oh and Rohelio took to his studies well learning fast how a hart worked and when a cut to the wrong or right artery could save someone or hurt them terribly.
At the age of twelve he had learned all she could teach him Diana used her influence in the Guild Liberty’s Edge so he could gain fame and respect as his own man.
Rohelio’s first three years were hard as most could not believe a goblin was part of the guild and apprenticed under the famous Dorian Kane a alchemist that in his first expedition freed four hundred slaves without losing one man.
Rohelio was eighteen when he was sent on his first expedition it was not easy he had to help end a slave trading syndicate. They lost three men on that but in the end they came back successful, Rohelio has just made his way home to see his mother and let her know as is well.

Special Abilities
The master of a raven familiar gains a +3 bonus on Appraise checks.
Alertness: While a familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.
Improved Evasion: When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Share Spells: The witch may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on herself. A witch may cast spells on her familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).
Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with her familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link's limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that her familiar does.
Language:Skald
After her exile, Morena took ship to Korvosa and enrolled at the Acadamae; however her sharp tongue and pride earned her few friends among the young Chellish aristocrats who comprised the most influential members of the student body. One such member in particular, Lucian Jeggare II, son of wealthy Chellish aristocrats, and one of the top students at the Acadamae; made it his personal mission to make Morena's life miserable. That might have been the end of it, if it hadn't been for Tisiphone. one day when Morena was out in the city looking for spell casting supplies, she heard a commotion it the market, upon following it to its source she discovered a man being tormented by wasps. Sensing magic, Morena tracked the spell to the far side of the market where she found the caster, An red haired elven woman with vivid green eyes and a malicious smile sat perched on a crate, chanting quietly, The Elf Introduced herself as Tisiphone and invited Morena for a drink, Feeling alone in a strange city, Morena agreed, over the Next few week the two of them became friends, Tisiphone told her about her life in the faith of Calistria, and Morena shared her exile and current issues at the Acadamae; Tisiphone told her that the only way to make people like that respect you was if they feared retribution, thinking back on her homeland, Morena realized that that was the case, the commoners feared the witches, the witches feared the queen, and the queen feared Grandmother(Baba Yaga), a few days later, Morena told Tisiphone her plan, the elf was impressed with her friends vindictiveness and offered to help, giving her a wand of charm person. the next day students of the Acadamae were astonished to see Lucian following Morena around like a common servant, carrying her things, then she got him to follow her up to the roof, and then knocked down the ladder, leaving him stranded up there while she used her flight hey to float gently down, at this point Lucian discovered that the roof around him was covered in ice. Knowing that Lucian would never forgive her, and having grown weary of the Acadamae traveled with Tisiphone to Absolom for a fresh start.
Morena's role will be arcane caster, with a possible secondary in skills
Ok, all done. I wanted to ask if I can use Knowledge nobility as one of my background skills, if not, I will leave my skills the way they are. if you have any questions or comments, I will be watching.
Not really important, but the archetype is "spellbreaker".
Yea, I had the Spellkiller inquisition on the brain for some reason. :)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Is it just me, or are there a lot of Gnomes and elves applying? lol!
I wonder if the GM's avatar is influencing us for gnomes and goblins?
Trips, I hope to have addressed the shortcomings you identified, and hope the additions and clarifications below are suitable for consideration. If not I will add further revions. I appreciate your feedback and consideration.
Kenza grew up on the road, and has travelled the Inner Sea region for her entire life. The Cloudhopper trade caravans spend most of their time in Andoran, Taldor and along the trade routes of Qadira. Their have been trips into the border areas of Cheliax and Isger, and more dangerous places. For Kenza the years were grand adventures of exploring new places, learning to drive a wagon, and time spent among family at camp. It has been a good life. (Background skills -Knowledge Geography and Handle Animal)
The Cloudhopper caravans always travel with valuable cargo, mostly goods for sale, but sometimes it is "slips" willing to shake off the shackles of their masters. No matter what other cargo they carry, Kaleb Cloudhopper, clan patriarch has learned that the most profitable is that which is most easily carried - information. Kenza and the Cloudhoppers recently ruined the schemes of a minor noble of House Arionne, Jerrilonne Arionne by providing some key information to a rival, revealing and ruining the plans.
During the caravan's last trip through Qadira, Kaleb requested Kenza reach out to a memeber of the clan working in Absolom, to assist with the trip, Kaleb provided Kenza a hickory wand with the Thunderstomp spell. Kenza has taken to using the normal sized wand as a walking stick.
Kenza had always wanted to see the City at the Center of the World, and recently arrived to search for Rillka Shadowcat with messages to deliver. However, Absolom is a big place, made bigger by Kenza's small size, so finding Rillka has been a challenge.
Friend-Known
Kaleb Cloudhopper, a distant uncle of Kenza is the patriarch of the Cloudhopper clan. He is responsible for the well being of all clan members, and realizes that for the Halfling peoples to prosper, they must be freed from the bonds of servitude.
Friend-Unknown
Alder, a halfling ranger has been working as a scout and guide to the Cloudhopper clan caravan. He has also been keeping tabs on Kenza and reporting to Kaleb.
Enemy-Known
Jerrilonne Arionne of the Cheliax noble family, House Arionne has taken offense at the activities of the Cloudhopper Caravan, Kaleb and for some reason, Kenza in particular. He has vowed to eliminate the little "lightning witch" and send her body to Kaleb as a message. While word of his rants has reached the clan, so far little action has followed.
Enemy-Unknown
A well kept secret is that Jerrilonne has in fact acted. He beleives the only way to kill a halfling is to send a halfling to do the job - and the Halfling known as "Hamstring Hammmond" is hunting Kenza.
Contact in Absolom
Rillka Shadowcat is a member of the thieves guild of Absolom. She is a former Cloudhopper caravan member, but is still a Cloudhopper clan member and supporter. Kenza has been instructed to find Rillka.
GM Trips, I've decided to withdraw from submissions. I give you permission to use my totally fleshed out character as an NPC. Good luck to you and all your players.
Here is the submission for Tanner Nielsen. If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them.
Tsura Vhiski
LG Female Human Soulknife (Nimble Blade) 1
Faction: Church of Sarenrae
===================
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120lb
You see a well-groomed Varisian woman with chestnut brown hair tightly gathered under a bandanna. Her eyes are the color of the sky, with small flecks of silver near the iris. Her skin is fair with small freckles on her nose and cheek bones. She is dressed in a courtier's outfit - a tan three-quarter length coat trimmed with blue, green, and red. She wears loose leggings under the coat. An iron holy symbol of Sarenrae hangs prominently around her neck. She is medium-height, with a solid frame and straight posture.
Tsura is a charitable and giving person, coming from a long line of wanderers and travelers who relied on the kindness of strangers to help them survive. She tries to be a peacemaker wherever she goes, focusing on easing the burdens and travails of others. Her patience can be tested, however, by those who spurn her efforts at peace.
The siblings followed their father in larceny, and Tsura was taught to beg and steal when she was six. Her youth and pitiful state allowed her to bring in a respectable amount of money, and she and her sisters made a game of filching belt pouches from tourists and merchants. Her world came crashing down one day when she tried to pick the pocket of Chelaxian wizard. After fleeing with his purse, the spellcaster divined the location of his money and followed the girls back to their home.
The sisters were clapped in irons by the town guard and taken to jail. Under questioning by the guard, they quickly divulged the activities of their father's gang, and the identities and locations of its leadership. The guardsmen were quick in finding and arresting the ringleaders, who were tried and sentenced to years of hard labor. Among them was the head boss, a ruthless and violent hobgoblin named Varog.
In retaliation, Luca was attacked and maimed by his gang. The girls returned home from the jail to find him unconscious and with two broken knees. Crippled and unable to provide for them, he took them to a temple of Sarenrae and begged the priest to take them in as wards. The priest, Father Tanrid, took pity on the girls. In exchange for room and board, they were expected to engage in character-building work.
Robbed of her mother, and abandoned by her father, Tsura became withdrawn and angry. Her thoughts were devoted to revenge against her enemies, both real and imagined. She kept a mental list of those who would face her retribution. Father Tanrid saw the young girl's demeanor change as weeks and months passed, and decided to take her as his personal project. He met with her regularly, encouraging her to study the theology of Sarenrae and pray. She reluctantly agreed, petitioning the Dawnflower every night to help her - not to find peace, but to help her take revenge.
Her prayers were answered one night, when in a flash of theophany she was visited by the shining presence of Sarenrae. A heavenly voice addressed her by name, and lovingly chided her for her obsession with revenge. It told her that the goddess was aware of her plight, and encouraged her to seek compassion and peace. But, it said, if facing those who glory in slaughter and death, then swift justice must be delivered. The light coalesced into a shining golden scimitar which sprung from Tsura's hand. "Wield my glory, young one. Let it be a light shining in darkness. Hope for the faithful, succor for the weak, wrath to the evil."
Tsura has since devoted herself to the service of Sarenrae. Until reaching adulthood, her time was spent between studying the teachings of Sarenrae, training her body and mind, and exploring her new powers. Though her religious experience was the catalyst for the emergence of her psionic powers, she is firmly convinced that her abilities are entirely divine in nature. She has taken a vow as a templar of the faith, and stands ready and eager to wield her mindblade in defense of the faith.
Close Friend - Ruza; middle sister and temple scribe. After Tsura converted to the worship of Sarenrae, she sought to reestablish her relationship with her sisters. For the first time in a very long time, they had love and comfort in their family. Although her oldest sister has now moved out of the temple and taken a position as a weaver's apprentice, and her father Luca is nowhere to be found, her sister middle sister Ruza continues to work at the temple as a scribe. They share quarters together, and are the best of friends in addition to being sisters.
Unknown Friend - Mran; street urchin. Mran's family was regularly victimized by Varog's gang. They ran a general goods shop, and were months behind in their protection payments. Their shop had been vandalized and trashed more than once, and they were on the verge of being seriously harmed when Tsura was arrested and helped bring about the downfall of the gang. Mran knows that Tsura helped accidentally save his family, but does not know where she currently lives.
Known Enemy - Varog; former/current gang leader. Varog knows exactly who Tsura is and where to find her. But he is not stupid, and does not want to incur the wrath of the church of Sarenrae. He keeps tabs on her from time to time, and is resolved that if he ever finds her in a compromising situation, he will not hesitate to take revenge.
Unknown Enemy - Kynes; crime lord. There are always bigger fish in the pond, and Varog's boss is a dangerous and enigmatic human who goes by the name of Kynes. He is rarely seen by anyone but his direct lieutenants, and most speculate that 'Kynes' is an alter ego for a respectable nobleman or merchant prince. After Varog's arrest, the territory was lost to a rival gang. He has not forgotten the loss of income, while he currently has more important matters at hand, he would seek his own brand of justice if given the chance.
Faction Contact - Father Tanrid; cleric of Sarenrae. Father Tanrid is Tsura's surrogate father, mentor, and spiritual adviser. He has contact with her several times a week as he directs her day-to-day duties.

Bonus Feat [Two-Weapon Fighting] - The soulknife may choose Power Attack, Two-Weapon Fighting, or Weapon Focus (mind blade) as a bonus feat at 1st level.
Weapon Finesse - A nimble blade gains the Weapon Finesse feat as a bonus feat at 1st level.
This replaces the bonus feat normally gained at 1st level.
Mind Blade Finesse - A 1st level nimble blade gains the Mind Blade Finesse blade skill. This replaces proficiency with shields and medium armor.
Form Mind Blade (Su) [Light] - A soulknife must choose the form of his mind blade at 1st level. He can either form it into a light weapon, a one-handed weapon, or a two-handed weapon. Once chosen, his mind blade stays in this form every time the soulknife forms his mind blade. The light weapon deals 1d6 points of damage, the one-handed weapon deals 1d8 points of damage, and the two-handed weapon deals 2d6 points of damage. All damages are based on a Medium-sized creature wielding Medium-sized weapons; adjust the weapon damage as appropriate for different sized weapons. In all forms, the mind blade has a critical range of 19-20/x2. If the soulknife's chosen form is a light weapon, he may choose to form two light weapons when forming his mind blade if he so chooses, but he suffers the standard penalties for two-weapon fighting.
His mind blade does not have a set damage type. When shaping his weapon and assigning abilities to it, the soulknife chooses whether it will deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. The soulknife may change the damage type of an existing mind blade, or may summon a new mind blade with a different damage type, as a full-round action; otherwise, the mind blade retains the last damage type chosen every time it is summoned.
The blade can be broken (it has hardness 10 and 10 hit points); however, a soulknife can simply create another on his next move action. The moment he relinquishes his grip on his blade, it dissipates (unless he intends to throw it; see below). A mind blade is considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and is considered a masterwork weapon.
A soulknife can use feats such as Power Attack or Combat Expertise in conjunction with the mind blade just as if it were a normal weapon. He can also choose his mind blade for feats requiring a specific weapon choice, such as Weapon Focus and Improved Critical. Powers or spells that upgrade weapons can be used on a mind blade. The soulknife can use feats such as Weapon Finesse that work on light weapons with her mind blade, but such feats only work on mind blades in a light weapon form.
Even in places where psionic effects do not normally function (such as within a null psionics field), a soulknife can attempt to sustain her mind blade by making a DC 20 Will save. On a successful save, the soulknife maintains her mind blade for a number of rounds equal to her class level before she needs to check again, although the mind blade is treated for all purposes as a non-magical, masterwork weapon while in a place where psionic effects do not normally function. On an unsuccessful attempt, the mind blade vanishes. As a move action on her turn, the soulknife can attempt a new Will save to rematerialize her mind blade while she remains within the psionics-negating effect. She gains a bonus on Will saves made to maintain or form her mind blade equal to the total enhancement bonus of her mind blade (see below).
The soulknife chooses the appearance of his mind blade, although its shape must reflect the selections the soulknife has chosen: a bludgeoning mind blade would be blunt, slashing would have an edge, etc.
Shape Mind Blade - The soulknife's mind blade retains the last chosen form every time it is formed until the soulknife reshapes it. If the soulknife chooses to reshape her blade, it requires a full-round action to do so. She may also re-assign the type of damage dealt as part of reshaping her mind blade if she so chooses. A soulknife can reassign the ability or abilities she has added to her mind blade. To do so, she must first spend 8 hours in concentration. These cannot be the normal 8 hours used for rest, even if the soulknife does not require sleep. After that period, the mind blade materializes with the new ability or abilities selected by the soulknife.
Throw Mind Blade - All soulknives have some knowledge of how to throw their mind blades, though the range increment varies by form and the largest of blade forms cannot be thrown. Light weapon mind blades have a range increment of 20 ft. One-handed weapon mind blades have a range increment of 15 ft. Two-handed weapon mind blades cannot be thrown without the Two-Handed Throw blade skill. Whether or not the attack hits, a thrown mind blade then dissipates.
Wild Talent - The soulknife gains Wild Talent as a bonus feat at 1st level. This provides her with the psionic power necessary to manifest her mind blade. A character who is already psionic instead gains the Psionic Talent.
BLADE SKILLS
Mind Blade Finesse: The benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat apply to the mind blade even when it is in forms that cannot normally be the subject of Weapon Finesse (including two-handed forms).
Carefully Hidden (Human) - +1 bonus to Will saves and a +2 bonus to saving throws versus divination effects.
Illuminator (Sarenrae) - +2 bonus on Diplomacy, and it becomes a class skill.

Thus, to say that the relationship between the younger son and the rest of the family was strained would have been quite correct, if not an understatement even. And Iacobus’ tendency to leave the house unnoticed and on more than one occasion before one of his father’s lessons in order to go out into the city and explore did nothing to improve things. What is more, the boy much preferred the company of children that may have been his own age but not his own social status, but in his own mind, who could blame him? They were so much more fun than the stuffy nobles and their sons and daughters. He had a sharp mind, yes, and some of the lessons were interesting, yes, and some even stuck with him, yes, but the alternative, namely darting through alleyways and climbing over walls and fences and even pocketing a coin once in a while on some dare or other, were, as previously mentioned, fun. Well, at least while it lasted, because each time he would be found by one of his family’s retainers sooner or later and the fun would end. And eventually that happened one too many times and his father’s patience, considerable or not, came to an end. If discipline could not be taught at home, there were other options. Such as an academy abroad. Such as the Arcanamirium in Absalom. For Menas Albercroft was determined to make a proper mage out of his younger son.
Between the Arcanamirium’s severe ways and focus on the studying of magic and little else and the fact that Absalom was a new city to explore and a very large one at that, Iacobus managed to get himself expelled, even if it did take him longer than he expected. Not for lack of trying, of course. But setting one’s bench on silvery blue fire, having an alchemical concoction blow up in Professor Flintforge’s face and incinerate the dwarf’s well-groomed beard because one may or may not have tampered with the ingredients, and catching one in a compromising situation with a fellow student of the opposite sex tends to get the job done, despite how much money the academy might stand to gain from one’s continued studies within its esteemed ranks.
The rest was surprisingly easy. The expulsion combined with Absalom’s sheer vastness and a family that had more or less given up to the point that his parents now only considered themselves as having one son and one son only provided Iacobus with the necessary freedom to reinvent himself, changing his name in the process. Thankfully he had moved about the city before his expulsion, cultivating friendships and acquaintances of the sort that were more interesting to him than scholars and mages. A ne’er-do-well here, a fence there, an innkeeper and a tavern wench –no, serving maid or something; he always hated the word "wench"- over there. He had always been an agile young man and that coupled with a sharp wit and a little charm were more than enough for Jonas Crow to make a new life for himself.
Restless as he was, he traveled about, mostly just to see new places and people, but also for jobs and practical experience. Unlike reading a spellbook and casting a spell, opening a lock without a key, avoiding a trap without picking bolts out of your… posterior or fighting with a knife without hurting yourself are things that need a more hands-on approach. And although he did well on his own, it was when he started working for a Pathfinder agent that he found all the practice he could have wanted along with a whole group of associates, some of them even friends, with a curiosity, restlessness and adventurous spirit to match his own.
Despite his travels however, he would almost always return to Absalom sooner or later. Risky? Maybe a little, but it was not like anyone was looking for him, or at the very least this him. As far as he knew anyway. And Absalom was the city he was born anew, after all.
Darrak Flintforge:The dwarf had always been an odd sort, taking an interest and a liking to those students other more… traditional teachers would not. And Iacobus was no exception, even though the young man knew nothing of that fact. And then came the Beard Incineration Incident. A normal teacher, especially a dwarf, might have been a little… miffed at having his facial hair go up in smoke. And, truth be told, Professor Flintforge was too, but only for a little while. Eccentric as he was, he simply tried a beardless look until it grew back; he even joked about it that he was the only clean-shaven dwarf he knew and that perhaps he should try starting a new fashion among his kin. Of course, by now Darrak again has an impressive beard. And he still is quite fond of the young man who blew it off. Not that Jonas -then Iacobus- knows about it.
Korden One-Eye: Back when he was simply Korden, as he still had both eyes, and Iacobus was just starting out his new life as Jonas, they ran afoul of each other, the former seeing the latter as a young upstart thief moving into his territory. Jonas was not actually moving into anything, not at the time anyway, but misunderstandings do happen when thugs and thieves carve out domains without putting up actual borders. They expect people to simply… know. Well, Jonas did not. And Korden could not. Care less that is. After all, he was not and still is not known for his patience and intelligence. There was a fight, one that Jonas managed to escape with his life and all of his limbs still attached to the rest of him and a little prize: a dagger of exceptional craftsmanship and quality; where that brute had gotten hold of such a weapon was beyond him, but now it was his. Oh, actually two prizes, not that he considered the other one as such. Eyes are usually more prized by those that originally had them, not those that find themselves removing them thanks to a more than lucky strike.
Grigori and Helena Markov: They are the parents of Katrina, the female student that Jonas -or Iacobus- was found with that proved to be the last straw and led to his expulsion from the Arcanamirium. Unbeknownst to him, because the faculty talked to each of them separately and because he could not leave the place fast enough, after much deliberation it was decided that she too would have to be expelled. They tried to keep the reason hidden from the other students, but rumors circulate from one student to another and from some of the students to their father or mother and from them… well, you get the picture. Katrina’s parents would love nothing more than to find the one responsible for their daughter’s expulsion and subsequent social stigma. And they have the wealth and influence to perhaps eventually do so.
Jherrith Callidian: He is the half-elven Pathfinder responsible for bringing Jonas into the organization. A good and adventurous sort, he is the rogue’s usual contact within the faction and the one who usually assigns him a job. Being quite a bit older than Jonas, though his elven blood does wonders to hide it, he has a tendency of calling his protégé “my boy” or “Little Raven” on more than one occasion. A skilled scout and trapsmith, he is also responsible for much of Jonas' "formal" training in the fine art of "getting into places you do not belong and getting out with your skin mostly intact".
I can post at least once a day, two or maybe three if needed or if it is relevant to what is going on in the game at the time, provided I am awake anyway. Still, the number of posts, but mostly their… verbosity is entirely relevant to what is happening IC and to the GM’s and the other players’ posts. So, if there is, say, a fight, I may describe what my PC is doing and have him quip and joke, but I am not sure how long fight posts can get anyway. As for social and RP situations, as long as the GM and the other players give me food for thought and interaction, I can certainly do the same. Which, as far as I can tell, is the norm; after all, PbPs are not one-man shows anyway.
Other than that, I am pretty laid back and so are my characters usually and though I may like a bit of IC drama simply for flavor, I generally do not initiate such things, but I can enjoy them. But again, IC only. When it spills into OOC, it does stop being fun, as I have witnessed a time or two, and it can kill a game. So no, just no.
And if you want to peruse other characters of mine and their posts, here are some of them. There are more in my profile’s Aliases tab.

Wanted to let everyone know I am heading out of town for the weekend. I should be able to post an update later this afternoon, but my availability will be limited for the next couple days.
Here you go.
** spoiler omitted **...
Rogue, rogue, ninja, slayer..I'm seeing a theme :P
Lol, I like to hope I have no real theme other then I'm willing to play almost anything.
I like having quite a few skill points at my disposal actually. Between the rogue, the ninja, the slayer and even the swashbuckler I am quite satisfied with being given the tools to make mostly agility-based combatants with a healthy dose of skills thrown in to define them and make them useful both in and out of combat. In that regard I find I really like the slayer, whose ominous name I do not take at face value, as he is basically a rogue that is also quite combat-worthy or vice versa if you prefer. But I wanted to give the Unchained rogue a try so, well, here I am.
Funny thing, I used to play mostly wizards, at least where pen and paper RRPs are concerned.
Posting an update shortly. Since we are slowing down on applications I may look at ending recruitment in a few days. I'll give anyone lurking a chance to finish up and submit something, but I'm thinking I will make the call to close the process on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Lots of really good applications so far. I'm just surprised I haven't seen a fighter yet with all the freebies they are getting. Do people hate them that much? lol :)

For me, they just lack in interesting class features. Feats can have some variety, but are best for focusing since going in more than one direction can sometimes take up a ridiculous amount of feats that don't necessarily help scale with level. Stamina stuff looks interesting but..not more interesting than access to spells or psychic abilities which can give you fun utility stuffs. There aren't a lot of worthwhile feats that offer that other than, like, breadth of experience and a handful of others.
I would also like to add that between the swashbuckler and the slayer, the fighter seems to lag behind in flavorful options, while the other two can have more than a few bonus feats and at the same time possess a number of interesting class features to boot.
You mean the "unchained" fighter?
Only have the PDF and probably will need to sink some time into looking over all those feats again^^
Probably not going to happen until tuesday/wednesday.
Have something else in mind that heavily feeds off that factions thing.
I'm interested in this and working up a submission--Captain Trips, I just wanted to check in with you that the free masterwork item is capped at 375 gp including the masterwork cost, correct? (In other words, no masterwork repeating crossbow for me!) Once I'm sure of that I'll finish my new friend Hanz's stat block; all he needs at this point is equipment (though I may tweak a feat if I turn out to be wrong about the above).
Anyway, to business!
There's nothing quite like growing up in the Mana Wastes to give you a solid distaste for magic. Hanz Deadshield was born to Dorian and Menefer Deadshield, the middle of the couple's three children in Dongun Hold. From the very first, magical forces played a malignant role in the young dwarf's life: he's grown up with a hideous, ropy scar running down the left side of his face from temple to jawline, the result of a mana storm that descended on the Hold just hours after he was born. The story that Menefer always told him was that he was left behind in the confusion as the family sought shelter; the secret, which Hanz is still not aware of, is that at the time the family was hard up financially, and Menefer saw the fortuitous mana storm as an opportunity to rid themselves of an extra mouth to feed. No one knows how or why Hanz survived, or what else that storm might have done to him--such are the vagaries of life in the Wastes.
Regardless, the scar never healed, and Hanz grew up an object sometimes of pity, sometimes of scorn, and was often the source of object lessons for other young dwarves in the Hold. ("Don't stray outside when the abjurations are up, or you're like to end up like poor Hanz!") His family never had much, but they had enough to survive on, and as the years went by it seemed that things were getting better and better. Dorian and Menefer were making more money, their tempers were better, and there was more food to go around for Hanz, his older brother, and his new baby sister, Awib.
This doesn't mean that life was easy--when Hanz was just 23, and barely beginning to think about his vocation, the outer limits of the Hold, where his family lived, were breached by an invading band of mutant gnolls. With his family cut off from the inner reaches, Hanz found himself defending his sister as his parents and elder brother fought back against the raiding party that found them. Only Hanz spotted the gnoll wizard standing at the back of the attackers, and hurled himself at the conjurer before she could complete the spell she was casting. At this tender age, Hanz made his first kill, but (more importantly to him), he had his first battle against someone trying to kill him with magic. The stink of the gnoll's strange reagents; the crackle of arcane energy; the strange signs she wove with her forepaws as he charged her--these sense memories are with Hanz forever, no matter how confident he becomes in his dealings with spellcasters.
Not long after that assault, life took a bitter turn: Menefer and Dorian were discovered to have been embezzling from the Hold, siphoning off precious crystals meant for sale to Vudra and selling them to black-market caravans and dealers from Alkenstar. They were executed shortly after the conclusion of their trial, leaving Hanz and his siblings to fend for themselves--a dangerous proposition, particularly now that Awib was beginning to show signs of innate magical powers. Hanz, on the cusp of his apprenticeship, decided that the best chance for himself and his sister lay with the church, and so he apprenticed to a priest of Brigh, a soldier in a group known as the Brass Guardians: a troop of specially trained priests whose job it is to hunt down and stop any who might attempt to use powerful arcane magic in the Hold, and thus (intentionally or not) call down a devastating storm of wild magic.
Hanz rose swiftly in the ranks of the Brass Guardians, trained to understand spells and spellcasters and to fight against their depredations. Through the years, he was able to use what he knew to keep Awib safe--the fact that she was an extraordinary craftswoman, and a mathematical prodigy, made it that much simpler. She was well-liked by their peers and admired by her teachers, but Hanz knew that this could only last so long. Magic will out, after all.
So it was that, when the famed Arcanamirium in distant Absalom sent an envoy to Dongun Hold seeking advice on how to deal with recalcitrant or wayward students, Hanz volunteered to be the first of a return group sent north to that city (in exchange for some lucrative trade agreements) to help the school of magic track down and still its "little problems:" students who, for whatever reason, had strayed from the practice of useful, beneficial magic and turned down darker roads. Seeing the opportunity for what it was, he brought Awib along with him, and since their arrival in Absalom three months ago, the pair of southern dwarves have settled (uneasily) into life in the great, above-ground metropolis, with Awib attending classes at the Arcanamirium and Hanz beginning his first few cases tracking down the "wayward" students of the school...
Zeldrana's grandmother, however, has not been so forgiving. It took her some time to discover what had happened to her beloved granddaughter--especially since she and her clan were away from Absalom when the confrontation took place--but now Narcizia Bloodsworn has learned that Hanz is responsible for Zeldana's capture, and she's seething with rage. Though she hasn't made a move yet, it's surely only a matter of time before the powerful Varisian matriarch (a dangerous witch in her own right) acts against the dwarf...
Some games I'm in right now (excluding more casual ones and short things like PFS):
Wrath of the Righeous, as Jokum of the Breakbones. Well over a year in this campaign, which has been great.
Council of Thieves as Iolana Banderosi. A bit over a year in this campaign (which might be winding down due to GM stress, sadly).
And I've been GMing Curse of the Crimson Throne for well over a year, which has been going great despite slow periods and losing two of our initial six players. I've been pleased to hang on to four and add a fifth, though!
Thanks, and I'll get a build up as soon as you let me know about the gear!
I'm interested in this and working up a submission--Captain Trips, I just wanted to check in with you that the free masterwork item is capped at 375 gp including the masterwork cost, correct? (In other words, no masterwork repeating crossbow for me!)
Correct. This means no masterwork heavy repeating crossbows, no +4 str composite longbows, etc.
Not that it matters since I never got a full submission in but don't expect me as well. Not for want of trying just lack of the time this game seems to rightly deserve.
Based on the recent folks dropping out of their "dots", I'm going to go ahead and put in the last call for recruitment. Anyone still interested in submitting a character has 24 hours to finish up and get the final version in to me.
Starting tomorrow I will begin to go through the applications in a more detailed manner, and will likely be reaching out to some of you with questions, concerns, etc. If all goes well I should be ready to make the first selection by tomorrow afternoon.
Just checking in, and reinforcing my interest.
I look forward to seeing who is chosen. I think everyone did a lovely job with their submissions so I don't envy the gm on this one.
I have a (oracle|cleric) with some paladin that is coming, but I was distracted by other deadlines and wanted to let him simmer while I reread parts of the belgariad. I've now done that, and should have him built tonight and the writing done in the morning.
He'll be competing for the Divine slot, but will have a constitution score sufficient to serve as a secondary melee.
Gah! Was in an all-day meeting today...need sleep now but will try to get my build up early tomorrow morning!
Interested to see where this goes. Good luck to all applicants.
"How much signal I use for 8 lane change? None!? OK! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!"

Special Abilities
-------------
RACE
Weapon Familiarity: Like all dwarves in Dongun Hold, Hanz has received more than just cursory training with the weapons of his people in order to defend his home against marauding beasts of the Mana Wastes. He is proficient with battleaxes, warhammers, and heavy picks, and any weapons with "dwarf" in their name qualify as martial weapons for him.
Darkvision 60'
Magic Resistant: Over the years, Hanz has noticed that his birth beneath the strange, potent mana storm seems to have granted him some sort of resistance to magical attacks; he gains SR 5+CL (6).
Lorekeeper: A selfless advocate of his people, Hanz knows a great deal of Dongun Hold's history and tales of dwarfs throughout Golarion. He gains a +1 bonus on Knowledge (history) checks about dwarfs and their enemies, and can make checks on those subjects untrained.
Rock Stepper: Accustomed as he is to fighting in the tight corridors and sometimes ruins of the Hold, Hanz is able to ignore difficult terrain due to rocks or steep stairs when making a 5' step.
Defensive Training: Dwarfs facing off against the huge beasts of the Wastes had best have their wits about them; Hanz gains a +4 bonus to AC against creatures of the giant subtype.
Stability: Hanz, like all dwarfs, is hard to budge once he digs in. He gains a +4 bonus to his CMD against bull rush or trip attempts.
Hatred: Though they may not be the worst threats out there, the dwarfs' traditional enemies also plague them in the Mana Wastes. Hanz gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls against creatures of the orc or goblin subtypes.
TRAIT
Mathematical Prodigy: Much like his sister Awib, Hanz's brain is intuitively geared toward the mathematical and rational world (though he looks like a child compared to her). He gains a +1 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (engineering) checks, and Knowledge (engineering) becomes a class skill for him.
Surface Stranger: Hanz spent nearly his entire life below ground before being summoned to Absalom, and his eyes have still not entirely adjusted to the brightness of the surface world. He decreases his miss chance due to concealment or total concealment from darkness by 10%, but is dazzled for one round if suddenly exposed to a bright light.
CLASS
Domain: Artifice
Sub-domain: Trap
Artificer's Touch: Hanz's sacred duty to the made things of this world and his blessing from the Whisper in the Bronze allows him to cast mending at will to repair damaged objects, using his inquisitor level as the caster level. He also gains a melee touch attack (usable 6 times/day) that can damage objects and constructs for 1d6 damage +1 for every two inquisitor levels. This attack bypasses DR and hardness equal to his inquisitor level.
Judgment: Once per day, Hanz can call down the wrath of Brigh upon a recalcitrant spellcaster. He gains sacred bonuses in one of a variety of ways.
Stern Gaze: Hanz's grim, implacable demeanor unnerves his foes, and he gains a morale bonus to Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 his inquisitor level (minimum +1, already included).
Spell Sage: Though not an arcane spellcaster himself, Hanz's extensive training in the ways of magic means that he's got a good grasp of the "fundamentals," as they say--he adds his Wisdom modifier (+3) to Spellcraft checks to identify spells as they're being cast, identify the properties of a magic item using detect magic, or decipher a scroll.
FEAT
Rapid Reload (Light Crossbow): Hanz's martial training as a Brass Guardian reduces the time it takes him to wind and reload his crossbow. Reloading a light crossbow is a free action for him.
---------------
SPELLS KNOWN
---------------
Orisons (DC 13): Brand, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Sift
1st-Level (DC 14): Doom, Wrath
Hanz is a bit of an odd duck, and good at different things depending on the situation. In combat, he'll be mostly a ranged attacker (thanks to his crossbow) and debuffer (with more spells like Bane, etc., in the pipeline). However, he's also a bit of a skill-oriented character--he gets 8 skill ranks/level--and will definitely be contributing that way. Any combat against or pursuit of magic users, especially, will become substantially easier with Hanz around. So I guess this makes him a divine character, with a bit of a skill focus.
Looking forward, I like to be flexible about my leveling plans, but I imagine he'll advance mostly as an inquisitor but might take some levels in alchemist, as well, to help him more fully embody that support role (and to highlight his access to the info and training at the Arcanamirium).
Thanks for the consideration, and good luck to everyone! :D

As far as he's concerned Perengrine's life began in a sack. Saved from an unfortunate appointment with the Hag of Sellen Falls by a group of Dwarven Pathfinders, Perengrine was deposited with the Church of Iomedae in Absalom when their boat returned. He's kept in loose contact with them, listening to their adventures, and it's helped him stave off his wanderlust while he continues his novitae.
As young boys do, he idolized their tales of heroics. Growing up in the care of the Paladins of the Inheritor certainly didn't discourage him. Eventually, he became a Knight-novice in service of Iomedae, stationed with the Pathfinder Society Grand Lodge. An odd pairing, at first glance, but stranger things have happened. Ostensibly he is there to research his new blooming talents for the divine, and in truth they've given him some notoriety among the society. In practice, Perengrine serves as an unofficial recruiter for the Inheritor, encouraging new pathfinders and their rescued charges to consider the work of the just and good.
Older than most novices, he's yet to be ordained a Paladin, and so is much more approachable (and less likely to demand satisfaction if upset). His martial prowess is adequate although he still bears the stiffened hip from a lance injury (Sir Pendelton swears the lance jumped in his hand, and observers agreed it was a strange hit) which has yet to heal.
Meanwhile his scholarship is exceptional, in particular his translation of Hemet's "On Dragons", published by the society is considered the current authoritative work, owing it's fame to his precision and scrupulous cross referencing, as well as his excellent use of the Draconic language to illustrate exactly how to best plead for your lives and your companions lives should you encounter such a beast.
Outside of his role as a novice or librarian he speaks with a quiet certainty that many find refreshing. His demeanor is friendly, open, and he lacks the usual cynicism that normally sours the bureaucracy of the lodge. His faith is the easy sort, comfortable and deep. At the start of the Day of Light, Peregrine was in the Library.
I'm a frequent poster, although I'm new to paizo.com I've been posting on other forums for over a decade.
FOCUS: Primary Melee, Secondary Divine
Peregrine looks up to the Dwarven Pathfinder group "The Dwarven Mug". Consisting of Grunyar, Harsk, Ingra, Kotri the Mug is a Cleric/Cleric/Fighter/Rogue group of 7th level problem solvers. They saved his life, and he's become a regular when they make landfall at the Silver Flagon inn to listen to their boasts to the Local Bard Tanner and any patrons.
[spoiler=Unknown Friend:]
The Elven Crusader who healed Peregrine after his wound in lance training Merisiel The Greensword has always felt she somehow let the young man down, and has looked out for him quietly ever since, as one might care for a small child or stray pet. He's a flicker in her long life, but should he need intervention she'd grant it.d
Peregrine hasn't made many enemies, but the few he has are unfortunately powerful. His work in the Society has brought him to the attention of a Cleric of Asmodeus, Simon Bellmount, who views Peregrines natural talents as a potentially valuable tool for his Dark prince. Sadly, while Peregrine suspects Simon is not to be trusted, the old man has been patiently working to convince the Novice that his views on Order have merit. As a member of the Dark Prince's Clergy, Simon has of course reported quit a bit of Peregrine's unusual talents to his church superiors.
The hag of Ill Ice was a covenmate of the Hag of Sellen Falls, and will surely take revenge on all the escaped morsels should she find them. Unfortunately for Peregrine, word has traveled through the network of spies friendly to the dark fey (Bard Tanner being employed to keep them informed of the comings and goings of the Dwarven Mug), and all she needs to make his life miserable is a way to Absalom.
Peregrine reports within the church of Iomedae to his Knight, Sir Ribald, an older Gippli who despite his age and infirmity still remains a competent drill sergeant.
Within the Society, Peregrine reports directly to the Maester of the Stacks, a severe female gnomish wizard named Lini who he addresses by title alone. She's a strict taskmistress, but not unkind.
I'm a few minutes ahead of schedule, but its close enough for me.
Now comes the VERY hard task of picking six characters out of the seventeen awesome applicants. Choosing people for games is the worst part about being a GM, because honestly you want them all. Each of you had certain qualities or details that really impressed me, and I'm about as picky as they come when it comes to GMs. So before any selections are made I want to thank each of you for the time and thought you put into your characters, they all would be awesome to run a game for.
I've already started the process of reviewing characters, and I have a pretty good idea of the ones I think will fit well with the campaign, my play style, and my sometimes crazy requirements. However, I'm going to spend some time taking another look at all of the applications to make sure nothing was missed. I'll be reaching out to some of you via PM with questions I might have as well.
Once again, thank you all for applying. I wish there was room for everyone.

Questions/Comments for Characters Added
Hanz Deadshield - Really enjoyed the background. There was a lot of thought that went into coming up with a dwarf from the mana wastes, great job. Since you fall into several categories I added “Other” to fit Hanz. I see ranged, skill, or divine as possible fits.
