I knew I could break you! :)
So just the Core Rules book?
As I read it there will be an NPC Paladin?
Would you be opposed to having a 2nd Paladin or is that special for the NPC? If not I would like to play a fighter.
I'll go elven abjurationist since someone already claimed druid, and work on stats sometime tomorrow probably. Probably works with the priests of Thyr more than those of Muir.
Personally, I never got burned by the late 3.5 stuff, but I can see how it could be problematic in the wrong hands. I usually picked one or two of the later books to work with; that way, I could have the expanded options, but didn't create too many headaches by trying to use every single book with every single character.

Actually, I want the paladin to be a player character, so if you want to take it on then go for it.
A bit more background on the temples of Thyr and Muir in Bards Gate from whence you have been sent.
The Exalted Temple of Thyr the Lawgiver is a smaller replica of the faith’s original basilica in the valley to the north. High priest Bofred the Just leads the faith’s survivors — a mere eight priests and
21 neophytes.
Inside the temple, rows of wooden benches face the high alter of Thyr. Tall stained glass windows line the walls behind a regal statue of the deity, a stern warrior armed with a mighty sword.
Bofred is a dedicated paladin, named for the famous priest Bofred who disappeared in the caverns beneath Rappan Athuk years ago. The destruction of his main temple still rankles, and Bofred is determined one day to lead a crusade to liberate and rebuild the old basilica. To this end, Bofred has joined with Barahil the Faithful, a knight of
Muir and Barahil’s 12 brother knights to form the Order of the Sword of Retribution, a union of Paladins, lawful good clerics and fighters
who one day hope to return the faith of Thyr to the north.
As a dedicated paladin of Thyr, Bofred is a stern and unyielding man who preaches loudly against evil and corruption. His oratorical style is not terribly popular in Bard’s Gate, where the population is a bit
more urbane and less interested in the eternal struggle between good and evil, and the congregation at the temple remains relatively small.
He often recruits goodaligned parties to help him in his quest — scouting northern territories, seeking out prominent enemies of the temple, retrieving lost treasures or artifacts.
His uncompromising struggle against evil has earned him many enemies, but Bofred relies on his faith to keep him safe.
Officially called the Shrine of the Uplifted Sword, the temple of Muir is tended by a small group of paladins and clerics under the leadership of Barahil the Faithful. The priests and paladins do good and aid the weak throughout Bard’s Gate and beyond, and have joined with Bofred the Just to form an alliance of lawful good warriors, intent on liberating the north from the forces of evil.
Do you perhaps have a general map of the region where the adventure takes place. I looking for suitable area for the druid to hail from.
Well we also need to figure out where our group adventured, or part of, so we have met previously before this adventure starts.
I would be up for playing the Paladin. You will have to let me know how the Justicar prestige class will work so I can prepare to incorporate it.
I will work on putting something together.
Here is the Paladin, Gyles Degare.
I went with the bastard sword for flavor since that is one of Muir's favored weapons.
Background will come once I learn a bit more about the world and how the group fits together.
The surrounding lands are best described as follows. (Sorry - no map has been published that details this area)
Many miles to the East lies the Great Sea. The port city of Reme can be found here. Several miles to the South of Reme, along the Sea Coast Road lies the Forest of Hope. Rappan Athuk, a dungeon of legend, can be dound in the low hills, East of the Forest.
Traveling further inland, towards the West along a well traveled route called the Tradeway, you eventually come to the Forest Kingdoms. These verdant lands are teh realm of the elves and are jealosly patroled to keep fell creatures and evil doers from entering their borders.
The Tradeway carries on across the land , eventually reaching the great city of Reme on the coat of the Inland Sea.
But before then, it encounters two other settlements. The first of these is the city of Bards Gate. Established many years ago as a bard’s outpost and way station for travelers between the inner Forest Kingdoms and the port city of Reme, Bard’s Gate has grown into an important crossroads for trade and travel. The city’s banner depicts a silver lyre above a stone gatehouse on a green field. Bard’s Gate is currently an independent city, allied to the nearby Grand Duchy for mutual defense and prosperity. The Grand Duke’s troops help defend the city against the evil creatures from the Stoneheart Mountains to the north. A liberal and tolerant city, Bard’s Gate welcomes all races.
Because of its strategic position on the only easily-bridged area on the Stoneheart River, the city developed quickly. In addition to being a way station and trade center, Bard’s Gate quickly became a meeting place for wandering bards, skalds and other performers. To the south, the Stoneheart River becomes impassible due to a series of sheer falls. As a result of this, the central island of Bard’s Gate became an important port for barge traffic, from which goods were transported
overland to Reme. Thus, the western side of the town developed first, with the central island used as a defensive and governmental center.
With the rise of an imperial power to the south, merchants from the forest kingdoms began to avoid shipping goods by river and traveled overland along the merchant’s road to Bard’s Gate and on to Reme, bringing still more prosperity to the growing city.
The guild system developed due to the high volume of trade passing through the city. To this day, Bard’s Gate — especially in its outlying districts — retains a rough and almost frontier feel.
The northern wall of Bard’s Gate looks out over a vast river valley disappearing into purple hills in the hazy distance. The mighty gates fixed in that wall rarely open anymore. On the few occasions when the north gates do open to allow entrance to the occasional merchant caravan or especially daring traveler, they reveal a wide road, paved with great stone flags forming a smooth and level traveling surface striking due north for the hills. However, closer inspection reveals the signs of a lack of maintenance, and after a few miles the road deteriorates into little more than a wide dirt track, overgrown with
weeds and with only the occasional stone paver visible in the hard soil. It obviously sees little travel and even less care.
Few stand atop Bard’s Gate’s north wall and gaze out upon that hazy vista or care to think about what lies beyond those distant highlands. Fewer still are brave or foolish enough to make the journey in that direction. Bard’s Gate relies on its commerce from other roads in other directions and pays no mind to the north, for to the north, beyond the village of Taverlan and the distant purple hills and across many leagues, lies the reminder of one of the most tragic moments in the history of the civilized kingdoms. To those who even care to remember, the north gate leads only to bad memories or mournful legend. To the rest it leads to where only madmen would dare to go—the ruined city of Tsar and the great Desolation that surrounds it.
Further West along the Tradeway is the small village of Fairhill. North of Fairhill are the beginning of the low hills that eventually rise up into the Stoneheart Mountains. Several smaller villages dot the land including the village of Crimmor.
I am assuming that the group will have come together during an adventure to restore a sacred chalice to the village of Fairhill. This chalice, a sacred vessel devoted to the Goddess Freya, was stolen by a band of orcs led by followers of Orcus. The group of adventurers, together with the aid of the local priestess of Freya, Shandril, managed to drive the orcs away, defeating them at a nearby ruined keep. Here the party encountered Tavik, an evil priest of Orcus. However, although the party managed to regain the Crucible of Freya, Tavik slipped though their grasp, escaping somehow via magical means.
With the thanks of the villagers and with newfound confidence, the party headed on to Bards Gate, where the Paladin, Gyles Degare, intended to meet with Barahil the Faithful and Bofred the Just in the temples of Muir and Thyr.
These are the other two main gods that are worshipped
Freya, Goddess of Love and Fertility
Alignment: Neutral Good
Domains: Good, Healing, War, Animal
Typical Worshippers: Human females
Favored Weapons: Longsword, longbow
Freya is a lesser goddess of love and fertility. Freya is also the leader of a great band of women warriors—known as Valkyries on some planes of existence.
Freya represents fertility in all its forms. On this plane, Freya represents the cycle of death and rebirth. She is a goddess of the coming harvest as well as a goddess of sexuality and procreation. Her
beast is the falcon, though she is fond of the winter wolf and the stag. She appears most frequently to her worshipers as a beautiful human woman dressed in robes and a cloak of winter wolf fur, though she
occasionally appears as a hunter in leather armor with sword and bow, or as a warrior in shining mail and glowing sword. She can take the form of a falcon— or any other bird—at will, as well as the form
of a huge winter wolf.
Arden, God of the Sun
Alignment: Neutral Good
Domains: Air, Good, Sun, War
Typical Worshipers: Of old he was worshiped by humans, though Arden is not currently worshiped on this plane
Favored Weapons: Sun staff, short sword
Arden is a lesser avatar of the sun god Ra, as worshiped on this plane of existence. He is depicted as a hawk-headed, muscular man wearing a short skirt of precious metals and jewels. His eyes have the power
to shoot searing beams of sunlight. He carries a staff tipped on one end with a bronze sphere representing the sun containing an ankh and on the other end with a bronze hawk head. This staff is known as a sun
staff and is carried by his worshipers. They are treated as quarterstaves. He also wields a bronze short sword. His worshipers who select the War domain are proficient with the short sword in addition
to their normal proficiencies. Arden was long ago destroyed by evil deities, including Tsathogga, the frog-demon. His remains were gathered and treasured by his worshipers as relics. However, it has
been ages since Arden has been worshiped on this plane.

Necromancer Games
Justicar of Muir
A Justicar of Muir is the living embodiment of the first and most important of the triune virtues of Muir — Truth. As an embodiment of truth, and in keeping with the strictness of Muir, a Justicar of Muir must follow an extremely strict moral code beyond that required of a common paladin. The benefit of this purity and stricture is awe-inspiring — eventually allowing the Justicar of Muir to become an avatar of Muir herself.
Role: Justicars of Muir are the elite paladins in the worship of Muir. While there may be many paladins of Muir, there can never be more than 13 Justicars of Muir alive at any one time.
The leader of the Justicars of Muir is known as the Grandmaster.
The grandmaster must be a Justicar of at least 8th level.
Because the worship of Muir has waned substantially, it would be appropriate if there were no current Justicars in your game world and no priests of the necessary level to ordain a Justicar — thus requiring the PCs to find Flail’s spirit or free
Abysthor to locate a priest capable of ordaining a Justicar
Alignment: Lawful good.
Hit Die: d10.
Requirements
To qualify to become a Justicar of Muir, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria.
Class: A Justicar must have at least 3 paladin levels and may not be a ex-paladin. In addition, the PC must have taken his last level as a paladin prior to becoming a Justicar. Thus a person who takes 3 levels of paladin and then 7 levels of cleric cannot be a Justicar, though a person who has taken 7 levels of cleric and then 3 levels of paladin could be a Justicar.
Deity: Muir.
Skills: Knowledge (religion) 8 ranks, Sense Motive 2 ranks,
Diplomacy 2 ranks.
Quest: A Justicar-to-be must complete an arduous quest of
some significance to Muir to demonstrate his worth to Muir before he may be ordained (see below).
Ordination: This is the most difficult of the requirements to become a Justicar. A Justicar of Muir must be ordained by a person with the power to ordain Justicars. This power is only held by clerics of Muir of 13th level or higher and clerics of Thyr of 16th level or higher. Once the Justicar-to-be proves himself worthy by a quest (see above), the ordaining priest must cast bless, zone of truth, prayer, discern lies, mark of justice, righteous might, and holy word upon the Justicar-to be.
This ordination ritual also requires the presence of a holy relic of Muir, such as the Stone of Tircople, the Holy Sword of Karith, or the Sword of Gerrant. Ordination should be a difficult and arduous process. A PC should not be allowed to become a Justicar of Muir simply because he meets the other prerequisites.
Class Limitations
Justicars must follow a strict and rather unforgiving moral code. Failure to follow these rules may result in the PC becoming a ex-Justicar.
Alignment: A Justicar must be lawful good.
In addition to the strictures placed on a paladin, a Justicar must live by the following additional limitations:
Reject Cohorts and Henchmen: A Justicar may never gain followers, cohorts, henchmen, or hirelings. If, at the time of becoming a Justicar, the character has followers, cohorts, henchmen, or hirelings, he must renounce them and free them of their bonds of fealty or obligation. In addition, a Justicar may not hire men-at-arms. A Justicar may retain his special mount, if gained while a paladin. Once slain, however, a Justicar may not call a new mount. The only exception to this limitation is that a Justicar may retain his falcon familiar (see below) as long as he remains a Justicar. Willful disobe-dience of this principle results in the character becoming an
ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience (accidentally obtaining a cohort because the cohort was enchanted to follow you, for example) requires atonement and the Justicar must break the enchantment and rid himself of the cohort as quickly as possible. A simple offer by a prospective follower or cohort to follow you, if rejected, does not constitute disobedience. This requirement does not prevent a Justicar from traveling with companions.
Reject Property: A Justicar may not own real property — land, buildings or other holdings, nor may he circumvent this by having agents or friends hold such property in his name. Willful disobedience of this principle results in the character becoming an ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience (inherited land, for example) requires atonement. A gift of land, if rejected, does not constitute disobedience.
Reject Wealth: A Justicar may not possess more material wealth than is required to feed, clothe, and house his person in a modest fashion (usually no more than 100 gp). Willful disobedience of this principle results in the character becoming an ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience (inheriting wealth, for example) requires atonement. A gift of money or wealth, if rejected, does not constitute disobedience.
Reject Material Property and Magic: A Justicar may not carry more than his arms and armor, a pack with simple equipment, equipment for his mount, simple religious items, and simple clothes. He may not possess ornamental items. He may not possess magic items other than his arms and armor. He may, however, carry and use potions and scrolls created
by priests of Thyr and Muir. Aside from arms and armor, all a Justicar need possess is faith in Muir. Willful disobedience of this principle results in the character becoming an ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience requires atonement. Having a barred item hidden on you by an enemy, if unwanted, does not constitute disobedience if the Justicar immediately rejects the item once discovered.
Reject Disguise: As an embodiment of Truth, a Justicar may not thwart truth, regardless how noble the goal. Though he may tolerate it in others, a Justicar will not willingly disguise himself, accept magic intended to conceal or disguise his person or qualities, nor may he use protective magic based on disguise or hidden appearance. He will counsel against his companions using such tactics, though he will not split with persons who are otherwise good-aligned as a result of their use of such tactics. The Justicar simply will not take part in them. Willful disobedience of this principle results in the character becoming an ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience (having a disguising spell cast upon you by a friend against your will) requires atonement. Having a disguise or concealment spell cast upon you by an enemy, if unwanted, does not constitute disobedience if the Justicar immediately seeks to undo the disguise.
Reject Falsehood: A Justicar may not lie, regardless of how noble the goal. Lying means active deception. Standing silent or failing to answer a question is not lying. However, if a Justicar fails to answer a question because of an intent to deceive, he must do atonement. Willful disobedience of this principle results in the character becoming an ex-Justicar. Unintentional disobedience (being magically compelled or otherwise forced to lie against your will, for example) requires atonement. Because a Justicar embodies Truth, the GM is encouraged to demand the strictest compliance to this principle.
Ex-Justicars: If a Justicar violates any of the strictures above,
he becomes an ex-Justicar. He loses all Justicar spells and class features (including the service of the Justicar’s falcon familiar, but not weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). He may not progress any further in levels as a Justicar, nor can he ever regain his status as a Justicar. Muir is a strict and demanding goddess.
Torment: The above rules allow evil NPCs (or characters) to torment Justicars — attempting to give them wealth, magically disguising them against their will, etc. An evil creature can never cause a Justicar to become an ex-Justicar by such torment unless the Justicar willingly joins or fails to reject the evil character. At worst, such actions may require the Justicar to do atonement. Note that in the case of such torment, a Justicar is free to attempt to slay the tormenting evil NPC prior to attempting to undo the source of the torment (breaking the spell on a charmed cohort, dismissing the obscuring mist
spell placed upon him, giving away treasure, etc.). The only exception is lying. If a Justicar willfully lies, even to an evil opponent, he becomes an ex-Justicar.
Class Skills
The Justicar’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (nobility) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int). The following skills are prohibited to the Justicar:
Bluff, Disguise, Intimidate, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth.
Skill Ranks per level: 2 + Int modifier.
Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Justicar of Muir
prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Justicar’s gain proficiency in the bastard sword as an exotic weapon per the feat Exotic Weapon Proficiency (bastard sword).
Spells per Day: When a Justicar of Muir level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in any one spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if he is a spontaneous caster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Justicar, he must decide to which class he adds the new spell level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Resist Illusions (Su): A Justicar gains a +4 divine bonus on Will saves against illusion magic. In addition, Justicars are allowed to save to disbelieve illusions without having to interact with the illusion, even if that is normally required to disbelieve the illusion.
Zone of Truth (Sp): Once per day for every three Justicar levels, a Justicar can cast the spell zone of truth as a spell-like ability. The ability functions as if cast by a caster of a level equal to the Justicar’s total character level.
Enemy of Evil (Su): A Justicar gains a +2 divine bonus to attack and damage rolls against evil-aligned undead and outsiders.
Celestial Companion (Su): A Justicar gains a celestial falcon — the holy animal of Muir — as a companion per the druid animal companion rules (see “Druid” in Chapter 3 of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game).
Starting Statistics: Size Small; Speed 10 ft., fly 80 ft. (average);
AC +1 natural armor; Attack bite (1d4), 2 talons (1d4);
Ability Scores Str 10, Dex 17, Con 12, Int 2, Wis 14,
Cha 10; Special Attacks smite evil 1/day as a swift action (adds Cha bonus to attack rolls and damage bonus equal to HD against evil foes; smite persists until the target is dead or the celestial falcon rests); Special Qualities darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, DR and energy resistance per Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary “Celestial Creature”, SR equal to class level +5
4th-Level Advancement: Ability Scores Str +2, Con +2.
Discern Lies (Su): At 2nd level, a Justicar can discern lies as the spell once per day and an additional time per day for every 3 Justicar levels thereafter (2 at 5th, 3 at 8th). The ability functions as if cast by a caster of a level equal to the Justicar’s total character level.
Shield of Truth (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, a Justicar can invoke Muir’s shield of truth once per day. Invoking this ability either enhances the Justicar’s current shield or temporarily creates a supernatural shield for the Justicar to use. The shield has the following abilities: +2 divine truth bonus (if the shield is created, this is the only armor benefit it provides) and becomes a blinding shield (see the “Magic Items” section in Chapter 15 of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game), except the blinding effect only affects evil creatures. In addition, the shield radiates the effects of a prayer spell for its duration.
This ability lasts for 30 minutes. Shield of truth cannot be used in combination with either sword of courage or armor of honor until the Justicar gains the avatar ability.
Mark of Justice (Su): Beginning at 4th level, the Justicar gains the ability to pass holy judgment on others once per day and place a mark of justice on persons so judged as the spell (but as a standard action). The ability functions as if cast by a caster of a level equal to the Justicar’s total character level.
Immunity to Illusions (Su): Beginning at 5th level, a Justicar is immune to all illusions. A Justicar notes the presence of illusions
but recognizes them for what they are and disbelieves them immediately and automatically.
Sword of Courage (Su): Beginning at 6th level, a Justicar can invoke Muir’s sword of courage once per day. Invoking this ability either enhances the Justicar’s current sword or temporarily creates a supernatural magical bastard sword for the Justicar to use. The sword gains a +2 divine courage bonus to attack and damage rolls. The sword also becomes a holy weapon (see the “Magic Items” section in Chapter 15 of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game) for its duration. In addition, the sword radiates remove fear in a 30-foot radius for its duration
(caster level equal to the Justicar’s total character level). The ability lasts for 30 minutes. Sword of courage cannot be used in combination with either shield of truth or armor of honor until the Justicar gains the avatar ability.
Scourge of Evil (Su): At 6th level, a Justicar gains an additional +1 divine bonus to attack and damage rolls and double the normal critical threat range against all evil-aligned creatures (of all types). This ability stacks with the enemy of evil ability and the Improved Critical feat or keen weapon quality if the Justicar has these as well.
True Seeing (Su): Beginning at 7th level, a Justicar can use true seeing as the spell once per day. The ability functions as if cast by a caster of a level equal to the Justicar’s total character level.
Armor of Honor (Su): Beginning at 8th level, a Justicar can invoke Muir’s armor of honor once per day. Invoking this ability either enhances the Justicar’s current armor or temporarily creates a suit of magical chainmail around the Justicar. The armor gains a +2 divine honor bonus to AC. The armor also has the qualities of moderate fortification, invulnerability, and spell resistance (15) (see the “Magic Items” section in Chapter 15 of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game) for its duration. This ability lasts for 30 minutes. Armor of honor cannot be used in combination with either shield of truth or sword of courage until the Justicar gains the avatar ability.
Holy Word (Su): Beginning at 9th level, a Justicar can speak a holy word as the spell once per day. The ability functions as if cast by a caster of a level equal to the Justicar’s total character level.
Avatar (Su): At 10th level, a Justicar can use shield of truth, sword of courage, and armor of honor at the same time up to once per week. When all three powers are invoked at the same time it seems as if a spectral figure of Muir herself overlaps the body of the Justicar and mimics his every movement. In combat against evil creatures the figure of Muir becomes even more apparent. In addition to allowing all three powers to operate in unison, when a Justicar becomes an Avatar of Muir
he is treated as if under the effects of a greater heroism spell (caster level equal to the Justicar’s total character level) for the duration of the ability. The avatar ability lasts only so long as all three abilities — shield of truth, sword of courage, and armor of honor — are in effect at the same time.
Demon-bane (Su): At 10th level, a Justicar becomes an evilkilling machine. His critical threat range is doubled against evil undead and outsiders. This ability stacks with both the scourge of evil ability (see above) and the Improved Critical feat or keen weapon quality if the Justicar has these as well.
What happens with the Paladin abilities of Lay on Hands, Smite Evil and Divine Bond? Do the Justicar levels combine with Paladin levels or once gone to Justicar do they hold at the same level?
A female half elf druid from the Forest Kingdom will be in the making. She will not follow any deity, focussing purely on nature.
From the prestige class Justicar of Muir, I can see our paladin is going to have a hard time with the druid taking on altered forms.
What do you mean by max HP? Max for 1st level, or max for all 3 levels.
What do you mean by max HP? Max for 1st level, or max for all 3 levels.
Max for all 3 levels. It's tough!

Found a Map. Its a fan created one at necromancer games forum page buts it's pretty good. Posted by Duke Omote. (Cheers!)
I'll get something worked up, by this weekend. Sorry, been studying for an exam.

Hey Galstock. No rush. Thanks for taking the time. :)
Ensu here with the start of my elven wizard. I will try to get details filled in by the weekend.
That Justicar code is brutal. One mistake and you are out. I assume that even qualifying for the class is going to to take a while. We will see I guess if I can play well enough to meet the expectations.
The beginnings of the druid.
Darkone: Any chance you can bump that alignment to NG? I think that the general theme of the upcoming adventure is goodness. I am not sure that having a 'meh' attitude towards good/evil really works.
I tend to agree with Xzarf on the alignement issue as well.:)
Alignment change done. So all characters must have Good in alignment.
Only background is still missing.
I am thinking I will make either a halfling rogue/ranger or a cleric of some kind going to look at the guide tonight.
Apparently I cannot login to paizo's website at work anymore, but I'll get it made and posted for you.
Well for the creatures of the game this may help, as it is an update of the creatures from Necromancer Games to Pathfinder 3.5

Yes. seen it and amplanning on getting it. Thanks anyway.
Here is what I have so far on the halfling rogue/ranger. Anythoughts?
I am still busy with Mai'ela background. Will continue adding paragraphs as I create them.
Fixed both Mai'ela and Valoria equipment, left out their unspent money.
Changed Valoria to use same template as Mai'ela, and corrected Unarmed Strike info, found this information relating to Unarmed Strikes on page 141, above heading Melee and Range Weapons: "All characters are proficient with unarmed strikes and any natural weapons possessed by their race."
I ready to play. Background is not needed to get the game rolling.
I will try to get Belnan wrapped up sometime today.
Here is what I have so far on the halfling rogue/ranger. Anythoughts?
Like what I see so far.
Belnan should be good to go.
Paladin, Druid, Wizard and Rogue/Ranger. We still need a Cleric and a Fighter I think so I will probably advertise for these.
Working on a cleric to join in.
However, the Necromancer Diety guide was rather limited. Only a handful of domains are covered. Which unfortunately does not include some of the domains I was looking at.
Are those the only options for dieties?

Yenomesh is the aged sage of the gods. He is said to have been the first to gain knowledge of the sacred runes which brought the light of knowledge to the world.

Domains: Chaos, Animal, Plant
Symbol: A stylized wine cup
Garb: Robes of maroon and gold denoting red and white wines
Favored Weapons: Greatclub
Form of Worship and Holidays: Indulgence and excess are sacred activities to the worshippers of Bacchus-Dionysus. The wildest celebration of the year takes place during grape harvest, in both the

Typical Worshippers: Drunkards, alcoholics, libertines, nobles, young people, satyrs, some fey creatures and the Baccae, the chosen race of Bacchus-Dionysus.
Bacchus-Dionysus appears as a youthful well built man with curly brown hair. Rams horns spring from his brow and he is frequently dressed in a wine- (or blood-) stained toga. Bacchus-Dionysus is the god of revels and debauchery and the overindulgence in alcoholic beverages. The god’s priestesses, the Baccae, epitomize the rage and mindless violence that often comes of overindulgence. These priestesses, once
believed to have been mortal women, take on beastlike visages and tear their lovers limb from limb in orgiastic frenzies of wine and death.

Bowbe is the embodiment of barbarian wrath and frenzy. He appears as a mighty barbarian dressed in the pelt of Urson the Great Bear, whom he can summon to his side by tossing the pelt to the ground and calling its name. Bowbe carries the greatsword Bm’fob in one hand and warhammer Wytch-Killer in the other.
Bowbe revels in war and the slaughter of his foes. His battles against giants are legendary, as is his hatred for the undead, arcanists, lawyers, guardsmen, and most other civilized authority figures.
Unlike other gods, Bowbe aids only those who take his name in vain. Thus it is not uncommon to hear berserkers cursing their god for his indifference as readily as they curse their foes. Bowbe only grants
the raising of one of his followers if that follower immediately seeks blood vengeance against his killers. Bowbe grants no healing spells higher than 4th level.

weather.

mace called Thunderstroke.
His traditional enemies are the fire and frost giants, with whom his most fanatical worshippers — the cloud and storm giants war incesantly. Gromm’s fortress is guarded by a band of 50 celestial storm giants, and it is said that he actually created the storm

bloodstained) sword. She is noble and single-minded of purpose. The tenets of her worship include honor, truth and courage. A great order of paladins known as the Justicars are sworn to her service.
Muir expects self-sacrifice, humility and charity as well as answerving loyalty. Her standards are extreme and she quickly turns her back on any who fail to live up to them. Those who maintain her standards, however, may become Justicars, a prestige class of paladins
imbued with even greater holiness.

Typical Worshippers: Halfling, gnome and dwarven bards.
Note, God of the Harp, is a diminutive deity who serves as the bodyguard and herald of Oghma. Frequently he appears in the guise of a magical talking harp, while at other times he appears as a handsome
halfling or gnome clad in traveling clothes. Note frequently serves
as a comedic foil in Saga’s but also has a serious side, especially when it comes to defending Oghma or the world’s halflings, gnomes and
dwarves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

to his followers in the guise of a handsome traveling minstrel, bearing a finely-crafted harp (a demigod in its own right known as Note) and attended by a beautiful flute player, his handmaiden, Dame Torren of the Four Winds. Oghma frequently finds himself at odds with
Moccavallo and Sefagreth, both of whom compete with him for followers. Oghma seldom enters battle, except to defend himself with his mighty singing and dancing longsword Tune, preferring to pelt foes with thathlen balls hurled from the sling Harmony.

Symbol: Wand of Orcus
Garb: Black cowl and robe ensemble
Favored Weapons: Ornamental Heavy Mace (spiked or skull-tipped)
Form of Worship and Holidays: Day of the Dead (Late Fall), Nights of blood red and horned moons. Worship usually involves grave robbery and the animation and conscription of the newly dead to the forces of evil.
Typical Worshippers: Monsters, Undead and Evil Humanoids
Orcus is a demon prince with — surprisingly enough — many human worshipers. He has a strange fascination with humans and their desire for power, possibly because it is this very flaw that causes them
so frequently to seek that which he controls: power over death. Orcus is the lord of all undead and he resides in the Abyss in his Palace of Bones surrounded by a legion of vampires and liches. Evil, ruination
and wanton destruction are his only goals. He is most often depicted as a bloated ram-headed, bat-winged monstrosity with cloven-hoofed goat legs. He wields the “Wand of Orcus,” a legendary skull-tipped obsidian rod that is rumored to slay any living thing it touches.
Though mostly worshiped by the monstrous races, the ranks of Orcus’ human worshipers are swelling, as Orcus grants his followers power in large, liberal doses. It is not uncommon for Orcus to give relatively low-level priests command of vast numbers of undead to do his bidding.
His symbol is either a demonic ram-headed skull (the most common), a representation of himself seated on his throne, or a depiction of his skull-tipped wand. His priests favor heavy, dark hooded robes and ornamental maces stylized to represent his skull-tipped wand.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical Worshippers: Aristocrats, merchants, seafarers and caravan masters.
Sefagreth is a handsome deity popular among aristocrats, diplomats, tradesmen and courtiers. The father of cities and founder of trade, Sephagreth is a deity whose primary concern is the creation and maintenance of wealth and good relations between cities. Sefagreth is
therefore considered a neutral party who aids in disputes among the gods, and counts diplomats among his followers.
He disdains combat, preferring to use argument and rhetoric, and allowing others to do the fighting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

carry staves worked on one end into the head of a cobra. The cobra head is normally tipped with steel fangs coated with poison. His clerics also often carry a stylized black spear, representing the Spear of Darkness he carries. Many of his worshipers tattoo themselves
with serpents or cobras. Set makes his home in the Nine Hells.

Typical Worshippers: Warriors, mercenaries and warlords.
Thursis as a powerfully-built red haired man driving an iron chariot drawn by a team of four fiendish warhorses. His chariot glows with hellfire and is adorned with the animated heads of his fallen enemies which moan incessantly. Thursis wear spiked plate armor of archaic design which glows a sickly green. His cursed arrows are said to afflict his enemies with a variety of infections and demonic fevers which render them unable to defend themselves. Thursis is not so much
worshipped as respected and feared, for he has been known to abandon faithless followers in the midst of battle, even going so far as to aid their enemies.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Thyr, God of Law and Justice
Alignment: Lawful Good
Domains: Good, Healing, Law, Knowledge, Protection

Thyr is the god of wise and just rule. He is normally depicted as a wizened king seated on a great throne holding a rod of kingship in one hand and a chalice of peace in the other. His principles are justice, order and peace.
He represents proper and traditional rule and as such was once worshiped (at least in name) by all human royalty. He is the embodiment of the enlightened human caste system where each person has a fairly-determined role in a lawful society intended to create the greatest good for the greatest number. His symbol is a silver cross on
a white field, symbolizing the upturned cross-haft of his sister’s sword, which he thrust into the earth to end the gods’ war. Upon seeing the blood of so many gods shed, Thyr foreswore the use of swords and his priests, for this reason, may not use bladed weapons. Many favor reinforced rods, similar to light maces, modeled after Thyr’s own rod of kingship. The noble eagle and lion are his sacred creatures.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tsathogga, Demon Frog God
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Domains: Chaos, Evil, Water, Destruction
Symbol: Likeness of the Frog God, Carved in Soapstone
Garb: Green and violet robes, if any.
Favored Weapons: Any that slash, cut and are wickedly curved, as well as ropes or nets
Form of Worship and Holidays: Too gruesome and perverse to describe even by Necromancer Games Standards
Typical Worshippers: Aberrations, Tsathar, Sentient Frogs, Evil Water Monsters, The Violet Brotherhood
This foul frog-demon cares less about the machinations of men and power than he does about obliterating light and life with slow, oozing sickness and decay. He is the viscous dark evil bubbling up from beneath the surface; the foul corruption at the heart of the earth. Making his home on the plane of Tarterus at the mouth of the vast
swamp of filth deposited by the river Styx as it flows out of the Abyss, Tsathogga’s main form is of a colossally bloated humanoid frog with spindly, elongated limbs and fingers. His corpulent body exudes all manner of foul humors and fluids, which leak into the vile swamp
in which he lies. He has positioned himself so that all of the slime and filth from the river Styx feeds into his gaping, toothy maw. He never moves and rarely speaks other than to emit an unintelligible shrieking.
Tsathogga commands a host of evil creatures—notably evil aberrations and his own vile frog race, the tsathar. Thousands of fawning tsathar servants continuously bathe his body in fetid slime from the evil
swamp, awaiting the divine bliss of being randomly devoured by him. His
hatred of light and lack of human worshipers (though there are a few notable exceptions) mean that he is little known to surface races. He has few organized centers of worship and no standardized holy symbol — each worshiper choosing its own way to best depict his deific vileness. Occasionally, tsathar priests of Tsathogga on this plane sculpt a small likeness of him out of foul chunks of solid waste from Styx that harden into a vile green substance similar to soapstone when takenfrom that plane. Such items are prized as holy relics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tykee, Goddess of Luck and Good Fortune
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Domains: Good, Luck
Symbol: A Wheel of Fortune
Garb: Golden robes and courtiers attire, symbolizing good fortune and success.
Favored Weapons: Whip
Form of Worship and Holidays: Gamblers call upon Tykee constantly, and any day when someone wins big is considered a holy day for this goddess. Her worshippers make sure to donate a portion of all winnings to the Church of Tykee.
Typical Worshippers: Gamblers, rogues, bards, and all those who live risky lives revere this deity.
Lady Luck wears many guises. She embodies good fortune, and is praised during winning streaks and big wagers. She is also appealed to by losing gamblers, in the hope that she will eventually favor them. Other strokes of good fortune such as good harvests, unexpected pregnancies, financial windfalls and similar events are also sacred events to Tykee and her followers. Her temples are usually quite prosperous, as especially lucky gamblers often give part of their winnings to the goddess.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Vanitthu, God of the Steadfast Guard
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Domains: Law, Protection, War, Healing
Symbol: A gray shield emblazoned with a stylized black fortress tower
Garb: A gray tabard with a black tower sigil
Favored Weapons: Spear
Form of Worship and Holidays: Prayers are often said to Vanitthu at the start of sieges or by guardsmen prior to heading out on the beat.
Typical Worshippers: Barristers, judges, guards, professional soldiers, military officers and nobles.
Some claim that Vanitthu is the son of the great god Anumon; others go so far as to say that Vanitthu is yet another aspect of the great god (this schism has caused considerable conflict within the faith). In either case, Vanitthu is the embodiment of martial perfection, law, the strength of the state, and the punishment of the guilty. A grim and resolute deity, Vanitthu is always shown bearing a spear made of
lightning, and a polished mithril shield. He often appears to his followers on the field of battle, especially to those engaged in or defending against sieges.
----------------------------------------------------------
Zadastha, Goddess of Love
Alignment: Neutral Good
Domains: Good, Diplomacy, Healing
Symbol: A wreath of pink and red roses
Garb: Gowns and courtiers’ outfits
Favored Weapons: Longbow
Form of Worship and Holidays: The expression of love in all its forms is considered one of the most faithful things that worshippers can do; many of Zadastha’s followers tend to be overly exuberant in their declarations, often to the embarrassment of their would-be lovers. The faith’s most holy time is Lovers’ Day, the first bloom of early spring.
Typical Worshippers: Poets, romantic authors, chivalrous knights, bards who perform songs of love and hopeless romantics of all stripes. This faith is particularly popular among lovelorn students and teenagers.
Zadastha the Beautiful is the goddess of true love. Her gaze is said to bring forth love even in the cruelest of hearts and her perfume to cause lustful thoughts to fill the mind of any being.
So we only in need of a fighter or barbarian to join the adventure.
Background updated. I had a blank for the city grew up in. if need be I can put one in just not quite familiar enough yet with setting. Any ideas or other thoughts?
Having that grinning avatar for Ezric, I would be very cautious about my belongings.
I'm crying, just spent 3 hours working up a character, and when I went to save, Paizo screwed me over.
sigh...
Here is the cleric, finally.
An alias of Sephird.
I understand that we are not starting with 3rd lvl equipment?
I have a bit of gold left once I know where we are.
I'm crying, just spent 3 hours working up a character, and when I went to save, Paizo screwed me over.
sigh...
I've learned to do it in wordpad or notepad first, than copy and paste onto the site.
There are actually very few halfling avatars, so options were limited.
Yeah, I write up almost all of it in word then copy it over. Saves me a lot of time as well sense I have it set up in a template to make all the spoilers for the different sections.
I learnt from decades ago to use a text editor for writing posts, once ready then I go to the forums to post.
1st level equipment. AJ said he provide us with magical items.
Well if AJ is taking suggestions...
Ijen wants a handy haversack, mithral armor, a couple of utility wands (ant haul, various protections, resist energy, summon monster, stat buffs)
hmmmm.....
Well Mai'ela is aiming to be a focused spell caster as she is physically weak, and using wild shape for physical defence and to get around with ease. Of course she will always do her best to protect nature.
So something magical to help carry loads, improve spell casting, or to enhance wildshape would be nice.
For Belnan, a decent ranged weapon, pearls of power, bag of tricks, scrolls, and the like would be useful. He's mostly a caster, but likes having a few aces up his sleeve should his spells run out.
I will take your suggestions on board. Will now post for a fighter type I think.
AJ, I see some have added traits. Are they now allowed?
