I'll make the adjustments tonight when I get home
Went ahead and swapped out Power Attack with Precise Shot in that case, so I can effectively use my backup weapon.
No changes here, unless you want to do something with this as a result of Weapon Finesse being eliminated:
Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex): At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefit of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she can use her Charisma score in place of her Intelligence score as a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat for purpose of meeting feat prerequisites.
If I were suggest something, I would say this allows Dex to be added instead of Strength for damage.
neat idea, but it kinda nerfs the 4th lvl ability of the whirling dervish archetype, which would then need some kind of modification to make it relevant in some way. not my call though.
There's also the Slashing Grace feat if I wanted to switch from the rapier to a slashing weapon. To me, it makes no sense that it doesn't allow the rapier to add Dex to damage, but longswords, daggers, scimitars, etc. get it.
Puzzling.
Well, there's Fencing Grace for rapiers.
Only change here is replacing Power Attack with Powerful Maneuvers, so I've got some extra tools to use.
Well, there's Fencing Grace for rapiers.
Was not aware of that feat's existence! Thank you!
The tough part is now picking a feat to swap out. I think I'll lose Improved Initiative for now.
@Fnord: I have no plans for a third word.
Hi Monkeygod and other "broken" GMs! Sekter's sheet is updated to reflect the feat taxes. I was using lots of those feats (they affect directly Sekter's style) so I ended up with nice toys like Weapon Trick and Vital Strike. :) He usually fights defensively and drinks while fighting (using the Divine Fighting Technique from the deceased Cayden) so I think it's a cool effect and a somewhat different martial style.
Updated, just weapon focus instead of point blank, loving the Finesse idea, look forward to using my dagger properly!

Mandello is social first, and a general second. His words are more direct in their approach to social situations and he has a militaristic background to shape-up those around him. Much like the sorceress, he has some buff spells, but also has the ability to gather information safely with his eidolon and his beetle-spies and some good monsters that can turn invisible and have telepathy. He has very high battlefield control in the shape of filling space with shiny, sparkling monsters and is able to modify those monsters on the fly for special occasions. He doesn't have any real save or suck, tide-turning spells by himself though, unlike the sorceress. But he will bring an army to bare against those that dare work against the forces of good.
The Regulator excels in combat, but is very reactionary. Should others be attack, he will then attack and probably flatten just about anything. However, he also has the ability to clear obstacles. Anything that weighs less than a warship (that's right, a fricken warship!) can be easily moved aside with his incredible strength. He's bound to get more utility from god-words as his fighting prowess is already incredible.
okay... I updated Mugmuff and added a spoiler for his 'skills and how he got there'... be glad to do the same with other stats if nec... had to readjust his skills a bit as I miscalculated some, so miscalculations do happen... shift happens.
Updated. (Point black for weapon focus and deadly aim for clustered shots)
Character profile reflects such changes, stats and bonuses remained the same.
I think I explained a bit of my skills/stats in my background story, but I can break down how things were calc'd if needed.
Word wise, of course Deception is good for sneakier, and Fertility allows good locking down an area with the plant powers.

Once there was a Dwarf who was a master brewer. He worked hard at his trade, married a Dwarf from a good smithing family, and had a single daughter.
Unlike other Dwarves, this master brewer took talented students, regardless of race. This made him an outcast among his clan, but they still wanted his talents (as no one in his clan could brew with even a tenth of his ability), so they overlooked his proclivities and gave him his own place on the surface to produce his beer.
Unknown to his clan, the master brewer had taken on an Orc apprentice. The orc was a talented brewer who specialized in using unusual ingredients to make new beers that had tasted that had never been had before, so the Master took him as an apprentice, teaching his secrets. His daughter was intrigued by the orc, which blossomed into friendship, which then bloomed into love.
Realizing that her father would not allow their marriage, the student finished his training and made his way into the world, saving enough money to purchase an inn and tavern called the drunken dragon. After a few months, the daughter told her father she was leaving on a pilgrimage, for she had been anointed as a priestess of Irori, the god of perfection and knowledge. She made a beeline for the inn, where she then cajoled the nearest priest of Irori to marry them.
Years passed, and they had a healthy baby girl, which they named Karen after one of the servers who they made fast friends with.
Karen grew up in a tavern, surrounded by travelers from around the world, and two parents who loved her a great deal. when she was 10 she started helping her father with the bar, and by the time she was 13 she was waiting tables, breaking up drunken fights, and excelling at the unarmed combat training her mother gave her.
One night, when Karen was 15 she met Christian. he was handsome and charming, sure, but he was also mysterious. He told the most interesting stories, and he treated her like an adult, and with a good amount of respect. Christian was a musician, but he was also an adventurer, travelling the world attempting to, as he put it, "save it from itself." Karen was in love, but not with Christian. She was in love with the idea of one person making a difference. She was in love with adventuring.
Finally finding a goal in life, she threw herself headlong into her training with her mother, culminating in her ordination as a priestess of Irori. During her training journey, she saved a scholar from Ustalov named Professor Lorrimor from bandits in the woods. She then escorted him to the nearest town, wished him well, and then went on to her next adventure. A few months later, she received word that he had passed, but that he had also left her something of his estate. She made her way to Ustalov, not because she needed the money, but because she wanted to mourn the man's passing. She met several other adventurers whose lives he had touched, and they formed a group to investigate the strange occurances going on at the closed prison, where she proved her worth to the group and saved them from the myriad incorporeal threats within.
Continuing to travel together, they proved the innocence of a created man, dealt with lycanthropes and unnatural beings before making their way to Caliphas at the behest of a constable to find an undead killer who was ritually murdering their citizens. It was during this investigation that Karen lost her life.
While she was protected from being turned into a vampire, that same protection did not stop the master vampire from draining her heart's blood and leaving her still body on the floor. He then made short work of her companions, turning them into vampires and gaining new members of his army.
Karen's last memories were of looking at the head of the vampire as his face was nestled into her neck, unable to stop him from taking her life. In the space of a breath, she was being poked awake by a boy with a pitchfork.

Just touching base to express my continuing interest and hoping the GMs are mulling over applicants now - oh! the anticipation!!!! ... good luck to all!
What was mentioned above. Also, wondering how things are going.
On behalf of the Triad of like to say sorry for the delay. Going through such a breadth of submissions as one person would be hard. Doing that with three sets of eyes is proving to be... lengthy. We appreciate your patience.
Also, I was rather sick mid-end of last week, and I had a very busy weekend on top of that.
However, just to further build anticipation and dread(lol), we have settled on 6 starting PCs.
Last list I saw was this one:
Player - Character - Race - Class - Words:
Loup Blanc - Matuoka Ken'ichi - Human (Tian-Min) - Fighter - Endurance/Sword
The Emerald Duke - Sedelion Deighstalach - Elf - Ranger (Urban) - Journeying/Sword
Vrog Skyreaver - Kei - Human - Rogue/Barbarian/Bard/Shadowdancer - TBD***
Adsapiens - Sekter Rayne - Tiefling - Brawler (Mutagenic Mauler) - TBD
Loc - Loc Ludenburg - Human (Taldan) - Necromancer (Undead) - Death/Knowledge
Stalwart - Devon Prissault - Human->Drow - Swashbuckler - Luck/Night
Davia D - Lian Brook - Kitsune - Sorceress - Deception - Fertility
Ash.. - Elaine - Half Elf** - Magus/Arcanist - TBD
Hallowsinder - Muga - Human - Samurai (Sword Saint) - TBD
Crayfish Hora - The Regulator - Vanara - Bloodrager - Endurance/Might
Crayfish Hora - Christopher Mandello - Human - Summoner (unchained/Master) - Command/Wealth
Nikolaus de'Shade - Ilaine Rothscherre - Human? - Bard - TBD
Warpfiend - Nordri Nipingr - Dwarf - Rogue (Unchained) - Alacrity/Bow
JAF0 - Mugmuff Darktalon - Goblin - Ninja - Alacrity/Sword
FedoraFerret - Anastasia Vekova - Dhampir - Paladin - Sun/Night
JMG021283 - Ni-Jin Rainfall - Tiefling (Rakshasa Spawn) - Paladin (Divine Hunter) - Bow/Night
*Human start, Drow reincarnation
**Proposed "Advanced" version of Half elf traits post rebirth
***Awaiting ruling on Word count
I think a few dropped out since then, and more might have joined, not sure.. but it's a rough idea... That's 16 characters give or take... so chances are a little less than 40% of getting in..
the suspense is killing me!!!
I had to switch out my character to Karen, my half-orc cleric/monk, since Kei was Sarenrae's child and that concept was disallowed.
They did have a kid. You know it as a shining child.
Who wants to live in the light when you can hide out in the dark. Besides bright shiny people are overrated:P
Crayfiash.
You need to settle on a concept. We can't and won't pick a player who isn't 100% committed to their character.
He meant character, Crayfish. Thanks for the clarification.
Just curious... do we have an eta on selections?
Broken mentioned they had six candidates in mind.
However, just to further build anticipation and dread(lol), we have settled on 6 starting PCs.
I'm not sure of course, but I think he meant to give us a number, not to say they'd already picked their six... I could be wrong...
still waiting to hear of course, and hoping...
In order to help the process along, I need the following players to officially choose their Words(Not necessarily their gifts) as I would prefer to not pick players with the duplicate words, unless there's a big difference overall in character concept:
Adsapiens
Hallowsinder
Vrog Skyreaver

Might be better to message them. Not sure who's keeping track or not.

There was a discussion on party size and we settled on 6. We would like to see words from those three before finalizing or party.
I'm keeping an eye here, no need to PM. I'll pick the words and get back to you asap.
Karen has Earth and Health.
Sekter Rayne's Words are Journeying and Luck. :)
We are currently discussing, in depth, the various submissions, so I am hoping we'll have the final selections made by Sun.
FedoraFerret, if you're still around, and still interested, we need you to choose your gifts, please!
Oh, yes. I'll be taking Flesh of Shadows, Welcoming the Dusk, Illumine That Which Is, and Purging Noonday Blaze.
We are discussing and finalizing the beginning group now.
The time is near...
oooh, the anticipation is killing me... lol
Awesome stuff and good luck to everyone.
Refreshing like every 3 minutes
Hate to say it but this probably won't get done tonight due to time zone differences. We are close though. Curse the earth for being (mostly) round!
We really are close though, promise.
