Thanks for the advice.
Here is a link to the sheet. Most crunching done.

@GMSarah - I hope that list helps you as well, but if you'd prefer that I not jump in and do that I'll stop working on it. Just let me know. Hey... You left me out. I had said I'd go with Ivanka Zantosa, a Varisian born in the capitol and either on the Payroll or teacher's pet. Was going to use a spear or staff, probably a staff with lots of finesse. Now if you missed me because I didn't post a sheet, my bad. I wasn't going to until the GM asked for it. Didn't know I was supposed too, but I can kinda see how I probably should.
As someone who runs a very successful game of their own, the most important thing I can say is to truncate the time tables. You know it can take weeks or months to clear out 3 rooms of a lighthouse. So instead of making it 10 rooms with 23 baddies plus a big bad, 6 rooms with 12 baddies and a big bad is sufficient. Also, player advancement with their characters. Nobody wants to sit around and talk about the treasure they didn't get, the prestige class they don't qualify for, and the incomplete quest. You've got to level the party, hand out some loot, wreck a few big bads, and make the player feel like the last 6 months was worth their time so they are invested to stick around for the next 6. As a GM, I'm a combination of the narrator and world builder. As a player, I'm a cross between the butt kicker and the power gamer. I'm not a murder hobo, but being able to stare down (up?) the ogre with a greatclub and say something sweet like, "I'm gonna shove that club up your butt and turn you into a popsicle!" things stay interesting. One of my all time favorite quotes is, "I'll kill a man in a fair fight. I'll kill a man in an unfair fight, or if I think he's going to start a fight, or if there's a woman involved, or if he bothers me, or if I'm getting paid. Mostly just if I'm getting paid. But cutting on yourself, raping and eating people? When does that get fun?" -Jayne Cobb My point is, I play a pretty straight forward type of character. I play Jayne. The man they call Jayne.
Maybe. But I wasn't looking at Barbarian here. I have a strong tendency to not use archetypes or alternate classes. It took me a while to come around to the Slayer and the Brawler. The Pole Arm Specialist was neat. But I like the Fighter as it is. I do just fine sliding under the radar in my "normalcy." And since I've not had a single character death in close to a decade now, I'll leave the more exotic stuff to the people who prefer that sort of thing. Of course, I say I don't get characters iced and now I'll be the Bard Boy leaving a stack of dead bodies you can all hide behind. XD
I got It! Thank you! Okay. This is coming together quite nicely for me. Ivanka Zantosa; a Varisian noble from the capital. Noble in that her father owns a vineyard and makes a living producing expensive wine. Ivanka is a follower of Irori (knowledge deity, if I got that right), and yet chaffs at the notion of being stuck in a city. She feels the racial urge to be independent and hit the road. For the AP trait, I am leaning on Teacher's Pet or being on the Payroll. I am still very strongly leaning on Fighter as a class, and go a route I haven't done in a while and finesse a quarterstaff or spear. Yeah... I don't see any other submissions like this from new people unfamiliar with the AP who will enjoy It! ;)
The Players Guide ( available free from Paizo) more or less tells you what you need to know. It would limit your choices a bit but limiting your choices to options perfect for this campaign isn't really a bad thing Am I looking specifically for Carrion Crown, or just the player's guide?
I would be brand new to this AP as I've never heard of It! I am brand new to the Pathfinder setting, though I've been using a majority of the rules for years now in my own games. So in order for me to have something to bring to the table, where and how can I get a crash course on what I need to know? My race / class combo is pretty standard; half-orc Fighter/Barbarian!
Oh! Let me elaborate! I'm new to this site, not play by post or forum based games. I've been an active member of rpol since 2004. I run my own game that uses the majority of pathfinder rules. It's just set in Faerun. It has been active for almost 6 years now with 1 player having been there from the beginning. She has gone from level 3-10. I'm just old (school) and refuse to learn anything passed 3.x. I also like to play warriors. I don't like being a squishy. Clerics are my favorite casters and half-orc is my favorite race. Back in the day when Warmages were a thing, I liked them because their job was to blow stuff up. Warmages also made for great assassins at about level 12 if you dipped Rogue or Ranger. So I know -how- to play and I am certainly familiar with the pros and cons of PbP as well as a huge number of applicants. It's just the pathfinder world, the APs, and navigating this site in general. Which reminds me. How, where, and which character sheets are most used or seen? I typically use myth-weavers to store mine. Everything is nice, easy, and right there. Also. What is this organized play / pathfinder society thing I keep seeing? Thanks!
Seems I am late to the party. I literally joined the site yesterday, and would like to get involved so I can learn more about the game world by people who know a whole lot more than me. I only have one character option, and it's simple because I prefer simplicity to complication every time. Juno Rainmaker is a half-orc Fighter/Barbarian whose mother was the orc, a warchief's daughter turned bandit raider and her father is a Kal Drogo-esque Barbarian built like a bear. He too, was a Raider, and the only one "awesome" enough to defeat Juno's mother in a fight... |
