Backstory, NPCs and other fluffs: Backstory: Olivia lost her father to a bandit attack when she was still a baby, and lost many other friends and family as she grew up, either because they were killed or because her family would constantly move around the Nesmian Plains whenever a region got dangerous. While she was raised to accept this reality and just try to survive the events as best as she could, Olivia aways felt like she should stay and fight agaisnt injustice, fortunatelly for her, she never had to for a long time. When she was 15 years old, her family's farm was finally attacked by a group of bandits; true to her toughts, Olivia tried to fight back, but even poorly-equipped bandits with no combat training proved to be a challenge bigger than what the small halfling could deal with. Olivia only survived because a chernasado ranger was in the region and managed to save her, and her mother was still gravely injured by the attack. At this point, her family moved to Phaendar, were they would be safer. And yet the contact with real danger only emboldened Olivia's view that she should learn how to fight and protect her family. For the years to follow, Olivia trained diligently on her own before enlisting to fight against the Molthune, there she honed her skills, but weakened her will as the horrors of war were too big and unending. After losing almost her whole platoon to an ambush, Olivia retired from the front lines and came back Phaendar with the only other survivor from the ambush, the now blind and armless liutenant she served under. Now she just wants to rest and keep herself and her family away from danger and conflit. Little she knows that conflict might come to her very soon... Personality: Despite her rough looks, Olivia is actually very friendly and pleasant to be around, a childhood of moving constantly and taught her how to quickly make new friends, and years of war made so she doesn't get bothered by small thinks like offenses or indiscretions. She is simple-minded and earnest, and sometimes melancholic. Character Growth: Olivia is still more of a warrior than a woman of faith, and though her ideals align with those of Erastil, she has yet to temper her faith and become a divine warrior. She is also tired of conflict as the real war didn't match her expectations of what fighting for justice would be like. Over the course of the game is expected that the faith in Erastil and the immediate threat to her community will become reminders that moment-to-moment action of fighting should serve a bigger picture. Mechanically, Olivia is focused on protecting her allies with her paladin abilities and defensive feats such as Bodyguard, while still being able to deal decent damage thanks to Smite Evil, Power Attack and possibly bonuses from mounted combat (once she gets there). She'll later pivot into more offensive feats (since the Vanguard/Patrol feat chain is way too lenghty for a non-fighter), either focusing on the trip maneuver (with Fury's Fall to compensate the strenght and size penalties) or in mounted combat. --- NPCs:
Lucca (F | N | 42 | Halfling | Olivia's older sister | Herbalist) - Olivia's beautiful sister became an apprentice herbalist soon after she got into town, when she is not working she spents her time at the Taproot drinking and flirting. Rikel (M | CN | 65 | Halfling | Friend of Seffana | Fisherman and gambler) - A native of Phaendar, Rikel is a fisherman who spends all his earnings gambling at the taproot; sometimes rich, often times broke, Rikel and Olivia hated each other from first sight and he occasionally invents bad gossip about her. Verchiel (M | CG | 150 | Elf | Saved Olivia from bandits | Chernasado ranger) - The elf who saved Olivia's family from certain death at the hands of bandits comes to Phaendar surprisingly often. He has become a good friend of Olivia ("still trying to make her give up on that stupid sling and use a real ranged weapon, like a bow") and is rumored to have a crush on Lucca. Henoke Hutov (M | LG | 42 | Human | Olivia's ex-liutenant | Retired soldier) - A war veteran from Andoran who came to (in his eyes) free Nirmathas, Henoke lost his sight and his arms at the war, but not his wits nor his discipline. The retired soldier keeps what is left of his body in top condition and can be seen exercising around the town or dispensing advice about battle and defense to those who will hear.
Rolling wealth. * 10 = 190 gp. 15gp above average, so if my character gets picked first round of drinks is on me :)
Aight, questions. 1. Are you using Combat Stamina and related tricks?
Dotting.
I'm probably missing something really obvious but...If the skeleton crew takes the Man's Promise to Port Peril and sells it, how are they getting back onto the Wormwood?
How does a wand of Spiritual Weapon works when used by a character with the Spiritual Guardian feat?
I'll let you feed on my emotions for the duration of the game, best deal ever.
Throwing my mildly sociopathic slayer on the hat :) Statblock:

Latent Psion You gain a +2 trait bonus on saves against mind-affecting effects.
No Racial Subtype You have chosen no racial subtype. Skilled Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level. Studied Target (Ex) A slayer can study an opponent to gain a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, and Sense Motive; a +1 bonus on Perception, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent; and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The DCs of slayer class abilities against that opponent increase by 1. A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against 1 opponents at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target. If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll). At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, the bonuses on weapon attack rolls, damage rolls, and skill checks and to slayer DCs against a studied target increase by 1.. In addition, at each such interval, the slayer is able to maintain these bonuses against an additional studied target at the same time. The slayer may discard this connection to a studied target as a free action, allowing him to study another target in its place. A slayer can study an opponent he can see as a move action. Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks. Weapon and Armor Proficiency A slayer is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, as well as with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields). Weapon and Armor Proficiency A stygian slayer is proficient with light armor, but not with medium armor, heavy armor, or any kind of shield (including tower shields). This replaces the slayer's armor proficiency.
Personality: Narcizia is very curious and energetic, she likes to know how things work and what they're made of, her prefered method of finding this out is by disassembling thing, and her favorite subject of study is people. When she can't employ her usual means of learning, Narcizia likes to converse and maybie befriend others, she has a knack for asking uncomfortably direct and intimate questions in her quest to find out about others, and also tends to report her "findings" in a monologue to herself.
When she is really curious about someone, keeping her new friend alive becomes a very important priority, and she will do her best to protect and help them; plus, she learned by experience that this often gives her a chance to encounter and disassemble many other strange, intriguing things!
Just curious, now that non-humans are available. The "no stat below 10" is after racials? (I'm going human, just wondering)
Dot!
I'll have my character done this weekend.
Dot, i'm somewhat familiar with this adventure (GMed it a few years ago) but don't remember the details, hopefully this is not a problem.
Looks like i won't be able to finish a character before the deadline, so i'm bowing out on this one. Wish a good game to everyone involved :)
Do you put a lot of value in party composition when picking the characters?
Right now i'm torn between two different characters. First one is a Paladin of Iomedae with OCD-levels of perfectionism who is very down on himself and secretly thinks he's an unworthy fraud. Second one is a sukeban-inspired Tian woman with flexible morals, she would be a Rogue with maybie a level in Barbarian (if multiclassing is ok) so she can wear a greatclub and be truly scary when angered. I'm not well-versed in Pathfinder lore so i'll try to find something that fits one of the two.
Dotting. Never played PFS before but would like to try.
Watching in a very watchingly manner.
Alrighty, i'm going Dervish of Dawn Bard, will have stuff done by tomorrow.
I've played Mummy's Mask before but the PbP died REALLY quickly, i think we got up to the third or forth room in the dungeon of the first book, so hopefully that's not a problem. I've been wanting to play a dervish since forever, i'll submit something as soon as decide which dervish archetype i'm going with.
Would like to play Kingmaker, Iron Gods or Strange Aeons.
Like the title says, this is an Interest Check for PbPing the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition adventure path. This adventure path has some strong investigation/mistery elements so i think it would be more fun if the players haven't read/played the AP before (although that might prove difficult since its the oldest AP released). Im aiming for 3 to 5 players, adjusting encounters for balance if needed.
Going for a Dwarf Hunter who is too old for this but cares too much not to help, voiced by Logan Cunningham (Bastion/Transistor). Should be ready by tomorrow.
