Glad to hear it! Looking forward to hearing who's being set up to get killed!
Don't worry. Death is transient in the greater scheme of things.

Still hoping.
Congratulations and good luck!
Definitely dotting for interest. I'm thinking Cryptic/Psion. Spells and skills. I'll definitely have trapfinding.
Is it still level 3/Tier 1?
I might be interested. Probably play an Unchained Rogue//Something Else, thinking Magus? What does the rest of the party look like?
Interesting... but there are a lot of ways to go with Arcane. Does the party need another Archmage, or would a Marshall/Guardian/Champion be more appropriate?
And what sort of "skill monkey" skills are needed by the party? I'm considering Witch crossed with Bloodrager/Ranger/Lore Warden, but the Bloodrager option (with Scarred Witch Doctor) would only be clocking in around 7-8 skill points/level (with knowledge decent but not great), while Witch/Ranger would get around 12-13.
If knowledge is more the party's jam, Bloodrager/Lore Oracle could be another option, getting massive bonuses to every int-based skill but mediocre outside of that.
EDIT: Actually, hmm... any interest in a Skald? Skald/Witch could be a really neat combo, with a lot of arcane spells, but it only makes sense if people think they'd benefit from Raging Song.
I meant "Marshall or Guardian or Champion." If climbing is important, that gives me everything I need—Arcane Bloodrager gets near-permanent Spider Climb at level 4.
How much does backstory/fluff matter in a game like this? I've got a Scarred Witch Doctor/Trap from a level 2 game who'd fit well the role I have in mind, and I could use his backstory/personality, etc.
Alright, this is thunderbeard—finished building my character.
Kwale is extremely arcane (full caster + half-caster), although he specializes in battlefield debuffs and control, as Mad Magic + Bloodrage gives his spells some massively high DCs. Once he hits Tier 2, he'll be able to use his hexes with Amazing Initiative, which will let him combine some excellent buffs/debuffs with continued spellcasting or attacking. As a witch/bloodrager, he adds some new spell lists to the party's repertoire, including some extra healing/skill buffs.
As a Dual-Path Guardian and a full BAB attacker with Combat Reflexes, he provides a reasonable amount of "reach weapon shield" to defend the party. Arcane Bloodline gives some neat tricks, like the ability to spider climb whenever raging at level 4, and should provide enough bonus combat feats to let him focus on spell-boosting ones. Also, he's pretty darn tough.
He only gets 8 skill points per level, which isn't amazing, but it's enough to pull off good pretty Disable, Intimidate, and a handful of the other most important skills (picking up more knowledge and whatnot at later levels).

you are asking for arcane, traps, and skill monkey... could you post about the existing players: race, classes, roles, play style?
I think you missed me. Female Blue Cryptic/Psion
Philo, I'm pretty sure the GM saw all the characters proposed. (But we've only seen three builds, plus one potentially interested).
In other news, it could be cool to be in a Dungeon Crawl; there aren't many of these (I was in a Mummy's Mask game that's wrapping up and was run as just dungeons, and it seems like one dungeon game at a time is pretty reasonable).
On another note, I would usually be interested, but just got accepted in 2 games and don't want to overextend. But dotting in for future recruitments.
I'm in this spot, or I'd submit something. Going to watch the crawl anyways, best of luck to you.
I didn't realize this recruitment was still going! I'd like to throw in my hat as Nemris Silverclaw, a Monk/Druid focussed on animal tranformations for combat damage, while also controlling and summoning with spells to keep action economy on our side. I can have the crunch up by tomorrow morning, I hope that will be quick enough.
Alias mostly updated, just need to add in all the special abilities and mess with the gear a bit.
Hey Rednal, I have my Godling/Magus from the previous page. I don't have trapfinding, but he has languages and offers arcane and melee support, and you know I'm a loyal player and poster :)
My apologies, I saw the current players and thought it was two of the applicants. Good luck with the game!
Any movement on this?
Hmmm... This sounds cool. I will watch to see if a slot opens in the future.
Oh? In a gestalt game, balance is much less important (as you said, the only thing the party completely lacks is an arcane caster), and mythic makes it even easier to double up roles. (Has the party been having trouble? Because I've seen gestalt games run with 1-2 players, and the only problem there is that things get boring with too few players at the table). If you/the plays have characters you might be willing to take with suggestion or change of personality/one side of the gestalt, that might also be an option.
Aww... I'm a sad panda.
Things don't get boring with Rednal. He runs his games with 3 or less players and they are great. Well the one I'm playing in anyways.
hmmm... this would be the place to try my sorceror/ battle oracle later prestieging into mystic theurge/eldritch knight
I'd love to throw my hat in the ring with a Sorcerer//Monk of some kind, especially if you're allowing the Unchained Monk. Still, it seems like you may not be looking for more players anymore...
