Would you entertain 3rd Party Classes that are available on d20?
I'm looking specifically at: Warlock or Warlord (non Path of War). Both are not overpowered and only have a few simple class features (keeping them free of complicated mechanics not found in other core classes.
The 3 lvl gestalt option: are Hybrid classes not available as the 3 gestalt levels AND as the "base" class that will continue past level 3?
i.e. hybrid (continuing class)6/core (gestalt)3 or Arcanist(x)/Rogue(3)
My vote would go to an AP that does NOT have a new recruitment every other week. So any except Kingmaker, RotR, Carrion Crown, Serpent's Skull. Since I've not played it... I'll throw an extra nudge towards Mummy's Mask.
I also vote for pbp, as I'm not available sundays for roll20.
looks like you got plenty of applicants. I'm going to withdraw. While it sounds fun and unique, I decided adding this to my other games would require more time from me than I would be able to give. So, in order to prevent holding the rest of the players back, I will step aside. Although I will probably be stopping by occasionally to see how it's all playing out. Happy gaming.

here are the builds for both sides: brawler/magus (estoric)
The +4 fits with the physical description, but if you think it would be OP, you could always have me drop it to +2 (perhaps with some sort of +2 to another stat, or +2 equivelant racial trait.)
As the race equates to a 8 RP build, it shouldn't be a problem. They don't get much in the way of extra racial goodies, just 60' darkvision really.
Would really only be using it to augment his brawling-ness, so the magus might fit better.
King without Land wrote:
you are gonna stick out and might not fit into every location easily. Being as a male starts at 7'6" and can grow upto another foot.
Stick out more than a the other races? The way I read the recruitment, that was kinda the point.
Yes he would be tall, but still categorized as medium. Not fitting (physically) in: ducking through doorways, squeezing in caves, sounds like an opportunity for some good ol RP.
I'm flexible, with whatever "tweeks" need to be done.

after re-reading the creation, perhaps I misunderstood? When you said drop the lowest... did you mean the lowest of the 7 totals, or lowest roll of each set?
@ Spazmodeus - I love your trust in the dice gods, if you actually put together a character that way... I can only imagine what it's like playing with you at the table.
I'm gonna put together a character just to see what you do. lol.
I'm guessing the answer is, "NO! You snooze you lose!", but is there still availability for a late submission. I unfortunately missed the post stating a deadline of Thursday. Would love to be considered as an extra, or possibly benched on the sideline, in case one of the existing players gets knocked out the game.
[ooc]Please excuse the sports refrences, but it is after all, the day before the Super Bowl.
In case it would matter, I'm interested in bringing a melee focused character ready to sprout into Dragon Disciple as soon as 6th level in declared.
okay.. pretty amazing except for 1 (opening up room for a fatal flaw?)
looks like I got:
13, 15, 9, 15, 18, 15
no submissions for a wizard yet (to fit into DM's "ideal" group), but I really want to give a warlock a try. Warlock can cover "blasty" and a magic user but if the party needs... a few tweaks can convert him from warlock to wizard.
since roles (aka: tank, healer, controller, striker) are rather blurred or not defined, are you looking for a range of classes. I was very interested in playing a warlock, but I see there is already a submission for a warlock. I also see 2 clerics though. Are you getting a pool of submissions and then choosing a few for the game? Is everyone listed... in?
I can have an alias and character sheet created by tomorrow. I don't have an Adventure League ID, are you (DM) authorized to provide me with one?
not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I am kinda pointing and laughing at the east coast from my house here in Wisconsin!
I just found a local group irl for 5e. They graciously invited me in to their 5e homebrew. Now I've got the bug biting me to get back into pbp games. I played a lot of PFS on these boards in the past. I would love to join. Is there still room? I'm flexible and can play any class.

Lesser Eidolon A master summoner's class level is halved (minimum 1) for the purposes of determining his eidolon's abilities, Hit Dice, evolution pool, and so on.
The eidolon otherwise functions as normal. This ability replaces the summoner's normal eidolon
Life Link (Su) Damage that dismisses Eidolon can be taken by you. It weakens if not in 100 ft.
Skeleton Summoner (1/day) Summon skeletons instead of living creatures with summon monster
Spell Focus (Necromancy) Spells from one school of magic have +1 to their save DC.
Summoning Mastery I (9/day) (Sp) You can summon monsters as a spell like ability, maintaining 1 even when Eidolon is summoned.
an idea you could play (along the lines of the lycanthrope route)... would be, under certain conditions (night time, full moon, temperature, possession of cursed item, ect.) the players change into an undead, were-, monstrous form. (i.e. crew of the black pearl in pirates of the carribean)
easily done by adding template (undead, vampire, were-) to standard characters.
you could start with the characters being: bitten, infected, cursed, ect., and then have the game progress with them either trying to "cure" themselves or embracing the change and learning how to harness their new forms. Searching for the source or cause of the "alternate form", in an attempt to either cure it, or enhance it.
Musing on a way to make Nightcrawler. Don't really think it is possible - path of war could let you teleport at level 1, but nothing in paizo stuff will, really.
everybody a permanent or at-will magic effect of up to say third level
I like the idea behind a "power", but at-will 3rd lvl is crazy for 1st lvl. If caster level increased with lvl, it could be OP throughout the game. Of course, keep in mind, anything the GM would allow... works for enemies also!
GM could have everyone pick a race/class that gives a basic outline, then add the "signature" ability, characteristic, power, ect. as a player leveling feature that may or may not replace a class feature.
Just to clarify. Count me interested. I'll be applying no matter what you choose to do for character creation. I love the concept. I can't wait to see this turn into a recruitment.
here are a few suggestions on where to start, in case anyone would like a push in the right direction:
capt America = brawler (shield champion)
gambit = magus (staff magus)
dr strange = wizard, sorcerer, or arcanist
hulk = alchemist
nightcrawler = tiefling wizard or arcanist
wolverine = cat folk w/ claw blades
@OP - are you wanting to start off with a lvl 1 and have them develop into a well know superhero through normal advancement?
An alternate suggestion would be using the race builder, templates, or giving each player a magic item (within reason) to "start" off their comic book persona
(i.e. slippers of spider climbing for spiderman)
all these provide options to get the "feel" of a specific comic book character w/o getting into gestalt.
there is another interest thread for a Marvel gestalt going on right now.
Some are fairly straightforward, like captain America=brawler (shield champion), but most will need some help with either multiclassing or gestalt, or customizing a class to fit the fluff.
I can say will have no problem getting people to submit a character, but do you have a plan for customization or gestalt?
Here is the best thread I've found to get into a PFS game. You can go there and simply put your name on a list. They will notify you when a DM starts a new game.
I'm happy to try and help you out also, if you have any specific questions, as I was in your same position about a yr ago. Just send a private message to me.

I love playing gnomes. Having different racial modifiers opens up a lot of new options for viable classes. Awesome!
High God of Krynn wrote:
Just a reminder that Dragonlance is a low Magical Item setting.
Only Focused spellcasters (Wizards, Clerics & Witches) can craft magical items and there is not many of them around to do so.
This begs to play a spellcaster. What player doesn't want their character to feel "extra-special" or add that extra level of heroism. Throw in a couple magic crafting feats and the rest of the party will love you.
Besides: Gnome... Magic. They go hand in hand
High God of Krynn wrote:
The Gunslinger class is available to only Gnomes, as Firearms are not in widespread use on Krynn.
Again, a chance to shine with uniqueness. Or take advantage of an option ONLY available to Gnomes. Either way, kudos! More gnomeish fluff.
I've never played in a dragonlance setting, AND never played a gunslinger. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. All this brings me to the character that may NOT be optimized, but certainly sounds like FUN!

background:
The door to the Ramblehouse swings open. A silver haired human walks in. He stands about 5'10" has a backpack strapped to him and supports his movement with a walking stick/quarterstaff. He dresses, carries himself, and exudes the mystery of a proficient magic user. A wizard perhaps. He walks up to the innkeeper and politely waits for acknowledgment before he speaks. "I would like to request temporary lodging." He releases his pack and places it on the floor. "What a journey! I am glad to finally arrive home." The innkeeper, Cham Larringfass, marks in her guestbook before trading a key to the human for some coin. Cham addresses the man, "Make yourself comfortable, Sir...?" "Fendryk. Fendryk Gossamar. Thank you Cham." Cham looks confused for a moment, then his eyes widen. "Fendryk Gossamar! By the gods, how long has it been? I remember when you only yeh high!" The Halfling innkeeper holds a hand about his shoulder level, equating to about waist high on a human. "Last time I saw you you had been accepted to a school for magic... I believe. Have you returned to Trunau for good?" Fendryk contains his smile for a moment and replys, "I hope so. It seems I was fated to return to Trunau. It's been an eventful crusade returning, and I would gladly tell you about it, after I get some rest." Cham smiles back, "Of course. Welcome back, get yourself settled and meet me later." Fendryk grabs his things and disappears to his room for a short while.
Fendryk returns and finds a seat in the corner of the inn. A barmaid takes his order for a decent ale. He produces a pipe from under his robe. Lights it and takes a few drags. Cham returns with Fendryk's ale and he magically floats a coin through the air to the innkeeper's hand (a generous tip for the ale). "Why thank you darling! What brings you back to Trunau?" Fendryk smiles, "I'm glad you asked little lady. Please..." Fendryk waves his hand and the chair across from him pulls out from under the circular table. "... join me for a moment." He waits for her to get comfortable, then begins his account. "After years of disciplined study, I've completed my initial tutelage of the arcane. You see I may be a keeper of arcane secrets, but I plan to share that knowledge. In the form of wondrous, and magical goods and services. In order to do this, I need to expand my spellbook and build a store, or perhaps gain a partnership in the House of Wonders. Through some aquaintances in the big city, I learned of a rise in activity in the area here and possible opportunity to take the next step toward that goal, right here in Trunau. I set out from Absolam to travel across land to get here."
Fendryk takes a hefty swig of his ale, "As fate would have it, the caravan I was traveling with was subject to a few... shall we say... sidetracks. These provided me with a little insight to the dangers and possible needs of various adventurers. It also afforded me the opportunity to fill several pages in my spellbook. Quite exciting to say the least." Fendryk's face loses it's excitement and he slowly raises his mug up in an apparent prayer saying remorsefully, "Alas, my dear, not all of my travelling companions arrived at their intended destinations. It would seem the rush of adventure, must sometimes be overcome with a sadness of loss." He brings his mug slowly to his lips and swallows an alcoholic tribute to fallen companions. "That pretty much brings me to my current position. I need to find some willing adventurers in the local area here. I thought that we may come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. Perhaps they might have use for a practitioner of the magical arts to aid them, and thus afford me the opportunity to expand my knowledge with the mysterious things they encounter. Equipping me the tools to build a prosperous magic shop here. What do you think?" Cham cracks a large smile, "What at tale you created. You should talk to Agrit Staginsdar at the House of Wonders. She is always eager to work with magic users and may be open to taking on a partner. As for adventurers, there is a group of budding heroes here." Fendryk leans towards Cham, raises a brow, cracks a smile, and asks, "Would you know where I might find these young heroes? I would very much like to meet them?"
Hopefully this explains the character's tie to Trunau, long term goals, basic personality, and why he's at level 2.
posting:
I am able and willing to post multiple times per day. I find myself checking for new posts on other games at least 5 times a day, hoping for either a response to a previous post or introducing the next event.
I have access to posting at work, but not most map tools. Therefore, between 10am and 10pm (Central time) I may ask for my character to be moved for me in my posts.
I have several PFS games that will be finishing soon, and 2 other new AP's. All AP's are my 1st run through, including this one (if chosen).
I'm very easy going, and friendly, which typically shows through ANY of my characters.
I expect this character to be:
- full caster
- crafter
- support
- skill heavy
- social skilled
- team oriented
The door to the Rusty Dragon Inn swings open. A clean silver haired human walks in. He stands about 5'10" has a backpack strapped to him and supports his movement with a walking stick/quarterstaff. He dresses, carries himself, and wields the mystery of a proficient magic user. A wizard perhaps. He walks up to the Innkeeper and politely waits for acknowledgment before he speaks. "I would like to request temporary lodging." He releases his pack and places it on the floor. "What a journey! I am glad to finally arrive." The innkeeper, Ameiko Kaijitsu, marks in his guestbook before trading a key to the human for some coin. Ameiko addresses the man, "Make yourself comfortable, Sir...?" "Zandu. Zandu Gossamar. Thank you kind sir." Zandu grabs his things and disappears to his room for a short while.
Zandu returns and finds a seat in the corner of the inn. A barmaid takes his order for a decent ale. He produces a pipe from under his robe. Lights it and takes a few drags. The barmaid returns with Zandu's ale and floats a coin through the air to the barmaids hand (a generous tip for the ale). "Why thank you darling! What brings you to Sandpoint?" Zandu smiles, "I'm glad you asked little lady. Please..." Zandu waves his hand and the chair across from him pulls out from under the circular table. "... join me for a moment." He waits for her to get comfortable, then begins his account. "You see I may be a keeper of arcane secrets, but I plan to share my knowledge. In the form of wonderous, and magical goods and services.

Zandu takes a heft swig of his ale, "As fate would have it, the caravan I was traveling with was subject to a few... shall we say... sidetracks. These provided me with a little insight to the dangers and possible needs of various adventurers. It also afforded me the opportunity to fill several pages in my spellbook.

About Narciso Flamerider
Narciso Flamerider:
Born in Sandpoint to a destitute human prostitute Narciso never seemed to be destined for anything more than poverty. Born on the outskirts of Sandpoint he would spends hours upon hours scavenging through refuse for anything that might make him more than just an impoverished, worthless half breed.
Then he found the tattered books, a true treasure indeed for him and the key to his future greatness. From these books he learned of many things, dragons and magic especially. Eventually he put his learning to use, when he could suffer poverty no more he called into the depths of the elemental plane of fire: The Inferno answered.
In an explosion of fire and searing heat that singed his eyebrows came a great drake, like a miniature red dragon Smaug had come... From that day forward Narciso abandoned the useless surname of his mother who had died long since and took the name "Flamerider". Now Narciso marches to war and glory...
Personality:
Narciso is not a hero, he is an antihero cast in the mold of poverty, starvation and pain. He is greedy, reckless and all too used to the feeling of power. He is daring however and is no coward, what does a dragon riding bastard need fear?
