I'd like to throw together a swashbuckler. I'll ruminate on the stats and perhaps come up with a workable backstory over the next couple of days.
I'll give the 4d6 method a try. I've heard good things about Kingmaker, so let's see if I might conjure something that I could toss into the box.
-> 13
-> 15
-> 11
-> 15
-> 14
-> 4
That's... uhm... wow. I'm speechless, really.
I'm... not sure I can make something like that happen. On one hand, the roll is kinda on the high end of average, but... 4. Sweet lord.
Ok, let's give this a try using 4d6 and drop lowest...
- 13
- 14

Those are some pretty good stats...so many options, I'll have to give this some thought.

Not bad.
@Captain Ford oh you poor soul. Ouch
Is this an open recruitment?
yes
What is foible focus?
I'm pretty sure that it is pick two stats, one gets an 18 the other an 8. The remainder of your stats are generated by 1d10 + 7.
Foible focus

Some type of caster... haven't decided
= 12

= 13
= 13
= 17
= 11
I'm thinking either an arcanist or a swashbuckler. I'll put together one of each and see which I feel more inspired by.

8
Decided to try foible, since I've never done that before.
Think I'm leaning heavily toward a Hunter.

I don't wish to rule. I wish to dominate.
That 4 though...@CaptainFord At least you're not alone in that regard, eh?
1 Dump stat, the rest =Good to ok. I can live with that.
I always enjoy Kingmaker, how would you like us to do starting equipment? Average, roll?

Question of note GM is it possible to reflavor a campaign trait for someone who is really far out (like say from Cheliax or Katapesh)?
Im thinking half-elf empyreal sorcerer/ cleric/ mystic theurge(early entry style)
I'm building an Human Aldori Sworldord Fighter, but I need to know what the starting gold is, please.
x 10 = 170 gp
This of course assumes rolling for starting gold. DM Calvus, if this is a poor assumption, please let me know.

@DM Calvus: If you need clarity on anything, please ask. Also if you have suggestions based on how you intend to run the game, I would like to hear what you have say.

Honestly, a lot more palatable.
Got my character up. Pyotr Nikol Tovanya, Human Fighter of House Lebeda, at your service.
What's focus-foible method of determining other four stats? I see one 20pb (or 15 points on one-for-one basis) and lots of d10+7 rolls.
Ok, I have an old kingmaker character I can remain for this, Magnus Leifson. I will adjust stats and purchases, update, etc but background and personality will remain the same.
Dotting and rolling. Still no idea what i want.

Whatever negative influence life amongst the children of Nobles has had on Lucius, he is a man of possessing fairly strong morals and principles. His parents raised him to have a sense of duty and compassion towards others, and to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Lucius believes in the rule of law, though he has a practical understanding of it that leaves him flexible and reasonable towards its application.
Finally, while court life has proved to be lax and decadent, Lucius does still have a strong work ethic when it is required of him. During his time in Restov, Lucius worked hard and proved his ability beyond any doubt to his superiors.
When he was sixteen and finished his studies, he came home and found employment serving under his father for the Lebeda household. By this time, Baron Lebeda had died, and Dame Sarrona Lebeda was regent while the Baron's eldest son Lander was still a minor. Lucius being of an age with Lander became fast friends with the future Baron, and found himself spending time on Royal Hunting expeditions with Lander, and other such privileged activities.
Worried that his boy might be getting soft by spending too much time in the court and gaining considerably more influence than himself, Theodric volunteered Lucius for the assignment of traveling to the River Kingdoms to investigate issues with banditry on behalf of the Baradain household. Though unhappy at the prospect of leaving his friends and family, Lucius begrudgingly decided to take on the task.
With a sour, yet bemused demeanor, Theodric responded curtly to his cocksure eldest boy "Because you’re going on expedition Lucius; Lady Lebeda has asked for volunteers to put an end to the banditry bordering her lands and harassing trade to the west." With a shrug, Theodric smiled and added "This is good for you Lucius, you need to get some field experience."
Growing ever more incredulous by the minute, Lucius wave the document about as he retorted "Field experience? This is a sheriff’s work father; I didn’t go to study in Restov to skulk about in the woods hunting for petty thieves!"
Unmoved and intransigent in his position, Theodric flatly stated "You have much to learn Lucius, and this kind of experience can tell you much about the Kingdom." Walking across the room to the wait table, Theodric poured himself a cup of wine before smugly addressing his son once more "In any event, there be no use in arguing with me; I’ve already put your name forth to Dame Serona, so you’re going lest you wish to disappoint her. You leave in two days."
Though he was now seething with anger, Lucius controlled his emotion as he coolly countered his father "Lander and I were supposed to be on a hunting expedition in two days…"
"Aye, you were Lucius, but I guess that will have to wait." Without any further discussion, Theodric got up and left the room, but not before adding "Better get packing son."
Standing somewhat dumbfounded, Lucius shook his head as he considered the exchange that just took place. After a few moments, Lucius gradually resigned himself to his fate with a sardonic grin; indeed he couldn’t very well say no to Dame Sarona Lebeda, and his father knew that.
So, it's off to the River Kingdoms is it? Well then, time to go make a name for myself…
While General would be his first choice, Lucius could also excel as the Marshal, Warden or Royal Enforcer.
Here is the character sheet for Aestereal's swashbuckler. Background, appearance, and personality will be done in the next couple of days.

I was considering a similar build, but couldn't get the feats to work out right at 1st level. Is there something mechanically I'm missing that gives you an extra feat? Normally the swashbucker does not get a bonus feat of their choosing at 1st. Just curious for future reference.
Oh man, you're right. My build is wrong.
I managed to confuse myself pretty hard when I swapped from Inspired Blade to regular swashbuckler and back about five times. Also, it was late. Disregard Derren Foxlight until further notice, please.
Dot.

dotting for interest, Heya JCmarine how you doing?
I will probably go with something a little multiclassy, Like and elven ranger rogue whose was raised and trained by his parents in the family business of tracking down and "acquiring" stolen property. Disapeared in the Greenbelt, but I will look into it after I get some sleep (I work midnights)
So yeah, thinking I am gonna go goblin alchemist with this. Winged marauder and grenidier archetypes. Because reading a alchemy book is ok if it is to kill the tall folk for reading. Focusing on bombs and buffing my condor for combat.

Hmmm I will say yes. But I would like to look at it before i accept it for sure.
Question of note GM is it possible to reflavor a campaign trait for someone who is really far out (like say from Cheliax or Katapesh)?
I would add some yes.Always love RP.
I'm building an Human Aldori Sworldord Fighter, but I need to know what the starting gold is, please.
Ahh yes forgot starting gold. 500gp
DM Calvus... Synthesist Summoner you have not said no to this.. so i'm checking if you'll allow one in your game? If not all good I have another character to submit.
No. I think they are... not balanced.

** spoiler omitted **
Yes that would be better. The rolls do not actually help so yes. reroll is better.
I did it! Derren's crunch is once again legal. I think. It depends on whether or not GM Calvus allows Heirloom Weapon to count as proficient with Dueling Swords for purposes of feats.

500 gp starting gold?!? Sounds like I've got some spending to do yet. :)
In light of that news, there will be a few changes to the equipment of my submission.
Gonna roll some stats, see whether I can come up with a concept that fits them:
Gah. I just finished creating my character, come in to post, and I have 350 more gp to spend! Guess it's time to get that pony I always wanted...
