i'm VERY interested, but "anything goes" is pretty open ended so I'll need to think about it. Does the "anything goes" mantra include monstrous races as PC's?
I offer Maeltheron Timmerond for your consideration. Male Elf Rogue Sniper 5/Assassin 1, NE. Please see profile.
I will add levels if necessary as well as three background feats and another trait later this evening to match build requirements.
I have a couple characters that are 'on hold' for other games. One may be about to implode and the other is in the recruitment stage. One character is an elven conjurer (teleport specalist) who's not particularly special except for his currently being built as a level 15 character. The other (the recruitment one) is a human shadow sorcerer who is has the ghost template.
I'm interested. I have a neat idea for a fighter-type character I've been wanting to play. I'll stat up a 7th level version.
of course there's always my half demon/halfling rogue. He's fun. ;-)
I too am interested, but are curious about monsters as races. I've been itching to use some of the super genius products, especially the defender and the godlings products.

ohhh! I've got some supergenious products that aren't allowed in my regular games that could be fun. So many ideas!
Trouble is a half-orc monk.
I would like to submit an unusual character for submission...a pseudodragon ninja...
The ninja was a 3.5e conversion, and NOT the one in the upcoming UC book. Once the book gets released, I can rework it. Also, he is currently level one but it would be a simple manner to add levels.
Let me know what you think.
Cool that there's plenty of interest!!
Yes, mosterous races are allowed, provided the fall within the level/CR range, once we figure that out.
SGG stuff is also allowed, especially since I have around 29 of their PDFs includng the Godling.
Just curious now that we have some applicants:
What level would we like to use?? Personally, I am thinking CR 10 or so, but I understand many may wish to play lower.
Hi, this is Kyrademon from above. This profile contains a roughly statted out 7th level version of the character. I used a 15 point buy, and averaged the hp after 1st level. Can change any of that easily. Would be happy with any level character.
Oddly, for an "anything goes" game, this character is a human fighter. While that's unusual for me (my most recent Pathfinder character was a My Little Pony), it may seem a little normal for this game, so let me explain ... the concept basically comes from my desire to play a straight-out-of-anime character. So she's a short woman who swings around an improbably enormous axe (large dwarven waraxe that she wields two-handed), is generally ill-tempered and kind of oblivious but weirdly charming as well, has some random magical abilities for no particular reason (from Eldritch Heritage feats), she's from Tian Xia but doesn't look like it with no real explanation for that ever given, etc.
If that's not weird enough, I'd be happy to play something more conceptually outside the usual game. A ghost as a character sounds fun, for example.
Anyway, the background:

Why would someone want to play lower? lol
I've also ALWAYS wanted to play a fall-down-drunk satyr bard. I might actually choose this over the half-orc monk in this type of game. Pretty please pick me. I've been trying to get into a pbp for months.
I'd need to start at 8th level at least to play a satyr (8 HD) unless we tweak it a bit.
Actually ... having thought about it and read over the Ghost description, playing a Ghost character sounds like all kinds of fun. So, I'd actually like to suggest possibly playing the same character except, well, dead. So the Ghost Template would be added on to character, I'd change her relevant weapons and armor to Ghost Touch ones, and get rid of the ones I can't do that with, etc. Her CR would be her level +2, but as I said, I'd be happy to modify her to any level.
Anyway, I'll make those changes to the profile if I get accepted to the game and if you prefer the dead girl to the live one. :)
Any level is fine with me - I will adjust accordingly.
This is Tiny Coffee Golem's ghost character. She's about CR 11.
Same here, I have no preference what level we play at, he he
Oh, I didn't notice that TCG had already suggested a ghost character as a possibility. I won't gank the idea, then, and will leave my character alive.
go ahead and suggest. This character is 'on hold' for another recruitment thread. I'll know on that one in about a week.
So I want to put forward a half-dragon Saurian Shaman yes I know there is a dragon shaman but it summons lizards I think dinosaurs are closer to dragons than little lizards. Will have more information up later.
My mind is just spinning with possibilities, put a quick note - if we go the CR is equal to level route (which sounds the best to me) it makes a satyr a level 4 starting character give several levels to play with. I personally think something around CR 10 is a good start. I have a couple of ideas spinning in my head (which will then get cannabilized for cohort(s) if leadership is okay):
- the Man Out of Time and Space: Starting with the Enforcer Class (Anarchronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer) with maybe a little Gunslinger (if playtest is okay) thrown in.
- the Godling of Magic: Starting with Wizard, adding in Genius Guide to Arcane Archetypes and Genius Guide to Mystic Godlings to play a godling wizard (rather than a godling sorcerer).
- the Chelixian Noble: Strictly tied to the Golarian setting. Also a wizard (conjurer) with thief, ninja, or bard abilities. Add in Advanced Simple Template plus Young Simple Template for my own Pathfinder version of Artemis Fowl.
- the Alien Warrior: Giant Manimal Octopus Fighter/Rogue - Duelist for something completely like a fish out of water...
So my mind will stew for a while...
I will respectfully withdraw my submission. The PC I suggest is way too ordinary. I need to reconsider.
I vote for starting at 8th level. To me 8-12 are the fun levels.
For those of us who would want to do a complete build to help us make our background more juicy, what ability point style should we use? Also, average HP per level?
If you want someone to help you DM, it might help to restrict people on psionics.
This could be fun!!

Really? Damn, I've been dying to try out Psionics Unleashed ever since it first came out. I was thinking of building a Phychic Warrior for this campaign.
Are you saying that there really is enough Psionic hate out there that it would scare most people off?
Since I helped create Psionics Unleashed to a degree(I'm Lordmonkeysama in the credits) I am not going to restrict Psionics. If I can't find a Co-GM who is willing to also allow those rules, then I will go it alone.
That said, does anybody whose already posted interest in playing want to Co-GM with me?? The way I have it planned, we would rotate, with myself starting out as the GM, and the other playing and then at some point that the game allows, we would swap.
If somebody is going with a PC that isn't some monstrous race, and thus needs Point Buy, go with 25.
Since what I potentially have planned is rather nasty, double max HP for first level, then average thereafter.
@Kyrademon, I love your concept, and would much prefer her to be alive, though only because it seems that the PC will be more fun living then dead, again due to some of what I have planned, lol.
I think CR 12 seems good to me.
Are you saying that there really is enough Psionic hate out there that it would scare most people off?
Not at all. I was just thinking that it will be hard for Monkeygod to find someone to co-GM and psionics might scare a potential GM off. I don't have time to co-GM so it doesn't make any difference to me!
Monkeygod - I'll let you draft some fresh meat for this one, though I am tempted.... Rakshasa or Denizen of Leng tempted...
Psionics don't need to be scary, the Mindscarred releases are available for reference on pfsrd - and are mechanically quite similar to magic for interpretation. As long as players do their part in detailing their actions it shouldn't take much work (if any) from the DM.
Monkeygod I have question I said earlier that I would write up a druid but I had another idea and was wondering if cavaliers would have a problem in this game?

No class will have a problem in this game. It's part of the reason I'm doing this the way I am. I don't want people to feel put out, or unable to play something they really want just cuz it might not fit.
if and that's a big IF somebody builds a character, gets accepted and somehow has "problems" in the game, I will go out of my way to fix that, WITH the player.
@ Mark, come on, you know you want to. Nobody will get hurt, it'll be fine. Go ahead, submit a character. Give in to those "dark desires"
Alright thank your for the information Monkeygod. Mark I am with Monkeygod on this one come put up a character idea. Can make it from that dark place you said you get some ideas from.
How about templates? Open season or restricted access. And if you go with a monstrous race do you just use the base stats, reduced 15 or 20 point buy, or the listed 25 point buy with monsters adjustments?
@ Monkeygod and Mrdarknlight - we'll see. Won't have too much time to ponder over the next few days but I might weigh in with something come next week....
I've got a BBEG that I need to stat up for one of my games (not the Steel Wolves) so this could serve as the impetus for that.
I'd be really interested in getting involved with this. I've had a couple of ideas kicking around, and if it fits in well I'd like to try an Inquisitor.
I'll get back with a proposal as soon as possible!

If you go with a monster race, use the base stats to start with, unless of course it's something like a Drow, Tiefling, etc than you go with the 25 point-buy. However, if for example, you go with something that has actual base stats, and they seem too low or high, we'll work to adjust them.
Templates should be fine, but run them past me first, just in case.
oh, just an FYI: My timezone is Eastern Standard Time, ie it's 12:32 am for me. I work 10:30am-5:30pm Mon-Fri and usually go to bed tween 1-2am weekdays. However, I have a smart phone and can access these boards with ease. So I can keep up even at work. Long posts can be tricky, but are doable, though if it's important, I usually try to wait till i get home.
On the template I want to use half-dragon because of the magical experiment part in the bestiary on it. Basic idea for character is he was turned into a super solider by mixing him with a dragon. I was thinking of the other two half templates but half-fiend has to be evil and half-celestial seems a bit wrong to have for magical experiments.

That lines up perfectly with my schedule, I work 7AM - 3PM, but Pacific Standard Time.
OK, I have updated the profile to 12th level, 25-point buy, double max hp at first level.
I live in Heidelberg, Germany, which is 6 hours later than Eastern U.S., but I can post from work and habitually stay up very late, so there should be a lot of overlap.

I lived in germany as a kid. Dad was air force. Stuttgart and Oberamagau (i'm sure my spelling is crap,but you get the jist).

Ok, you've just given me a brilliant idea. There is a 3.5 prestige class that i've been wanting to play forever called Ultimate Magus. Basically it's a wiz/sor hybrid. There is a character from a book (he appeared in several of theh Drizzt series) that I want to emulate. He's a male drow noble who presents himself as a pure wizard, but he never seems to run out of spells.
The basic build will be Drow noble Sor1/WIz3/ Ultimate Magus *whatever levels are left. He's quite clever and very devious, but his alignment (based on the books) is LN (following his own code, not necessarily the laws of society).
I would LOVE to play him. I'll stat some stuff up as I get a chance. I will need to play with the build a bit and it'll be a lot of work to get him playable, which I will happily do. However, There's not another game I'd ever be able to play him in, so I don't want to totally build him until I know i'm in.
I'll throw up some details as I start to build him. Does this sound interesting enough to be included?
Soooo, about the drow nobles;
They're CR equals their Character level although they are clearly more powerful than the standard races. How would you like me to handle that?
I'm guessing that if the set CR is 12, you could have a drow noble at level 12, versus a wimpy surface elf or common drow at level 13 at CR 12. Just my guess.
I agree with Rannald it seems to be a +1 to CR. Look at some templates and see what they gave for upping the CR and see which drow noble is closest to? That would also help you get some idea.
Heh, still working on updating Pinky to a CR 12 monster. He has 9 levels of Ninja, plus 2 racial HD for a peudodragon +1 template, for a total of 12.
Let me know if that works for you.
I'm guessing that if the set CR is 12, you could have a drow noble at level 12, versus a wimpy surface elf or common drow at level 13 at CR 12. Just my guess.
works for me. So here is my basic idea;
Drow noble Arcane (sage) sorcerer 1/Mage (generalist) 5/ Ultimate Magus 6
(25 pt buy post racial adjustments without magic items)
Str 10, dex 16, con 12, int 20, wis 13, cha 12
Bonus feats: Breadth of Knowledge, COmbat Cast Extra Traits
Traits; +2 caster level Sor, +2 caster level Wiz, the next three would ideally be ones that give me extra skill's in Stealth, Diplomacy, Perception.
Feats are mostly undecided, but the 3rd level feat would be craft wondrous and the 5th level feat would be Multimorph.
His drow Pifwani (created by him) would give some sort of shapeshifting ability with which he could utilize Multimorph.
I MIGHT make my Sorcerer a Sage/Abberant crossblood, but I'm undecided on that. I was also thinking about bumping charisma a bit to take advantage of some of the Arcane heritage feats, but again, haven't decided.
His history will vary depending on where we start,but most likely he'll be from a fallen house. When his house fell he fled to Geb. He's always been a fan of Necromancy and will probably have a few skeletal minions (horse and manservant probably).
I'm at work currently and thus can't do this myself, so could somebody please scour the thread and make a list with player name, character name and general concept for me??
Also, I am thinking of borrowing an idea from one of my other GMs and creating GM Boons for each character , which can be any number of things from a special magic item akin to Legacy one, to a special class feature n more.
Let me know if such appeals to you all.
Also my email is
Also, this won't be a strict hack n slash so please make your character has at least a decent history.

Hey, there! A free for all? Sounds messy and fun! I want in on the action! I'm thinking maybe a female gnoll witch perhaps :D
I also have a human ghost shadow sorcerer that I will know by the end of the week if she's available. Basically she's In que for another game, but I'll know by the end of the week if I made the cut. Though I'm kinda digging the Drow noble, so hopefully he makes the cut. His personality is a lot less creepy and more jovial. He talks a lot. ;-)
