Here, I will be posting the inforamtion for my Game, I will be using the following rules in place.

STATS
Character Creation
4d6 for stats Drop lowest. one roll will be used all scores kept. It's more fun that way in my mind.

6th level

Class:All Paizo Classes, some Archtypes, will not be permited but those will be decided later
starting gold: 16,000 gp Must buy all equipment, excluding spellbooks and Forumla books (anything past 1st book must be paid for, or Holy symbols(unless other then wooden)

Hero Points: Will be used, if you decide to drop out of Hero Points you let me know in tread and let me know of your alt choice.for your extra trait.
Background:
I am looking for just a tiny bit of background bascally where you came from and what you want to do.
Outline:I am looking though for a sort of outline
for example.
John doe.
wizard 3/ Rogue 3 wants to go to into prestage class Arcane trickster. has always loved the magical arts but is a better thief. something to that extent


Female Scientist 5/ Party Girl 5/ Geek 5

I'd like to play a grippli druid. The idea is basically a reverse on The Frog Prince. She's a human girl who was turned into a grippli by a kiss. She uses a magic item most of the time to appear human, not really wanting to be a frog.

I originally made Princess Rose up for a 5th level campaign, but the important bit is the background story at the bottom. I'll rework her once the idea is okayed and fits in with the party.


honestly I love the concept but I will IM with a couple of changes that would fit in really well with what we are doing if you would enterain those great if you do not want to then fine, Also I will be putting up a little bit more today on char creation for my benifit so please look at that as well before you make up your mind. if you still choose to go with it great! I will allow it.


Hmm... before I draw up some character ideas, any more info on the campaign itself? Starting locations? Agendas? Overall synopsis?


I will be posting more of those tonight I have time to get those out tonight


More information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Infomration:
-------------------
This is Losely based on another game called L5R. Legend of the Five Rings. I am going to be placing this game along the cost of the
Katapesh area. You will be members of a minor clan called the Badger clan

As a Badger Clan member your job is to help out with the clan to get their castle rebuilt and their family more honor and one day become a Major Clan.
The object of this game is pass the 4 trails to gather enough resources and honor to go to the emporer and persent your clan to him to gain major clan status

Making allies and enemies along the way will be helpful or hurtful, This is a campgain that focuses on both styles of play, There are a lot of chances for roleplaying and for rollplaying as well. If you go rushing in and go looking for a fight you might just end up dead.

Campaign Information:
---------------------
Current Daimyo: Ichiro Kihongo (fighter 9/Samurai 1)
The Badger Clan is an oddity, the family ancestral homes in the distant north were destortyed three decades ago by a terrifting oni summoned by one of their own shygenja. Most of the family was slain as well, leaving oly those Ichiro wandering to carry on the name of the Badger. The Hantei died before he had the opportunity to revoke their Minor Clan Status, and Toruri the First allowed them to keep their clan name as a reward for their aid in his campaign afainst Fu Leng. As a result, the Badger are a clan with no home.
The Primary objective of the Badger is to revuild their clan. They constanly seek opporunites to increase the wealth and holdings of the Ichiro, so that their castle my be rebuilt Usually this amount to mercenery work or underhanded swingling, which contributes to the gerneral impression of Badger Samurai as glorified ronin. In the Badgers mind it's all for a noble end. In letting them retain their name, the Emperor game them a second chance. They would not be dishonorable to waste the Emperor blessing.
-------------------------
Families
---------

The Badger Clan only had one major family, the Ichiro, and two vassal families which managed to survive the Oni no Hideo attack.
■ The first one, the Fureheshu family, was a small familiy of expert wrestlers who trained with the Hida sumai in crab lands.
■ The second, the Tashimi family, was a very small family of instructors who kept the Ichiro Bushi School alive so that there was always a sensei for the next generation of Ichiro.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone will be part of the Badger clan as listed in the title here, Your can be of any race or class, but you will have one of the family names.

Names
Example: Ichiro Kihongo Family (Last)name is always listed first, then your given name.

Status
Everyone in the family will have two statuses
Honor: How much Honor you personally have. Everyone starts with 1 honor.
Void: Is a status on how well connected to the spirits and the family ties, going back to your ancestors.
------------------
Clan Status
Honor:5
Wealth:50,000GP
-------------------

Other Minor Clans

Sparrow Clan

Tortoise Clan

Dragonfly Clan

Hare Clan

Monkey Clan

Ox Clan

Bat Clan

I hate forum dice, they always give me ridiculous negatives. What am I supposed to do with a 6 and 7? At least the other stuff is great.

It's funny actually, on forums is the only place you can find me playing with any kind of negative stat and it's always super low when rolled.

I am wondering about being a halfling were-fox, it's a +1 cr theoretically but a fox is only 1/4 cr so its more like me + 1/2 cr. Foxes have faster speed and tiny size but is otherwise has no special or amazing abilities.

Already half built her for a different recruitment and really want to try her out.


Check out the Kitsune DarkLightHitomi

I know about them, but there is a different feel, particularly that I am always small and don't need a feat to change into a fox. There are other differences to, but hey, I do have other ideas, I saw an avatar that would be interesting to play.


Rolling dice to determine Stats,

1)4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4, 1) = 13
2)4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1) = 11
3)4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 3) = 15
4)4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 6) = 18
5)4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 5) = 17
6)4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 5) = 20

1)12
2)10
3)12
4)16
5)15
6)17

An interesting mix.

*Bows* Still sorting through things in relation to class and race options.


okay so here is the deal.

We're going to be sticking to a smaller group. less for me to keep track of and a lot more fun for you to play. I have invited someone whom I have been playing with on the boards for a while now and found to be a most intresting player. So With that said if everyone can take time over their holiday to think and come up with something that would be great. I would like to start this sometime before the start of december. I have a long last week of december so I will not be doing any posting from about the 24th thru 3rd of January. so that is my plan.
Hopefully everyone is up and ready by then. Then I can kick it in to full gear and we can start having some fun.

I would advise at least putting some skill points into the social skills as well as fighting. there will be both.

Dark whatever you want to play is fine sir just let me see it first


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

So...here is an Avatar (Which I shamelessly admit to enjoy playing) as a face to go with my posts.

The game behind this particular name is no longer running and so I shall recreate the the information behind it when I can.

GM Krumthi -Background/history ideas:

The small Even clan who has lived upon the shores shallow Sadako bay seemingly since time immemorial. The clan makes a comfortable living fishing, hunting, gathering pearls and crafting objects of art from the gathered bounty of the sea. Their nearest 'beholden' clan, before the usual political strife and turmoil happened was the Badger Clan. To whos memory they still pay homage towards.

Of the few times trouble has come to the Elven peoples their clever use of magic and knowledge of the terrain has allowed them to slip quickly into the waters and away. Of the few times pirates or other sea born adversaries have tried to assault them. The Elves have shown that they are the true masters of the waves, leaving said villain's ships sinking and themselves floundering in the waters.

The truth about the Elves is that they are more related to their ocean kin than their forest dwelling brethren. With access to almost innate magic, simple warning spells ensure aggressors do not easily sneak up on them from land and it is a simple matter for them to swim out, under any attacking vessels and sink them from below.

Into this large, extended family structure has Sunny (As her 'Human' version of her name is said) been born and raised.

So, just a little something to give a background for this Sunny.

Much cheers to all.

Edited(^_^)


Sunny the only issue is that you are part of the Badger clan here sunny, I like the background but I would like it if you temper it a little more towards being part of the clan. I will also send you a PM really quick too


okay this is my last post till next monday unless something happens on the tread till about 12pm CST time other then that everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with your friends and family


Island Elf 'Pugalist':1/"Almost Monk":1 |Perc:+7|HP:18/18|AC:14|T:15|FF:10|Fort:+1|Ref:+5|Will:+4|Init:+4

Sorry there's still no character behind the Avatar. Real Life being slightly crazy/busy.

Happy whatever holiday every one is having.


If everyone would have something up by Monday we can start on Tuesday.

Lantern Lodge

I'll have at lest my stats up by monday.


Island Elf(link)

Yah..whoops. Went and scrubbed the previous avatar by mistake. Going to use this one instead. Sorry for any confusion.

Actually...I just realized I only need to bump it up two levels. (^_^) Assuming the DM is okay with the classes being used already?

I probably wont have anything fitting behind the avatar in time. This one's from a game which has faded away, so good luck to every one else. (^_^)


Island Elf(link)

Okay...more work done. Suny will be calling herself a "Wandering Mystic Sword Mistress" (^_^) Hence the classes in Magus and such...to get the whole 'Mystic' part of it going. (^_~) Titan Mauler just lets her swing an Elven Curved-blade one handed. (^_^)

Hope her write up so far meets with the DM's approval. Will further edit her when I have more time. But, other than a few little things...Like HP..and Skills allocation...and extra moneys to be spent...and Saves to be adjusted...um...she's kind of ready to go? (>_>)

Much cheers to all


Okay, so I am hoping to hear from everyone. I know it has been busy for me and for everyone else over the holiday season so far and that we all have other games that we are in. so please at least try to get things settled down if you can play or not let me know, it's not that big of a deal.


Island Elf(link)

*Raises hand* Still here and still very interested.

Real Life is knocking me about some as well. Hope the character so far meets with approval?

Very much cheers to all. (^_^)


Polite bump to see who's still about...

Still looking in and seeing how every one is going.

Happy holiday season and very nest wishes to every one! (^_^)


Ya, I know things are a bit difficult here, so give it some time I am waiting on Valmoon right now.

Here she is, this is darklighthitomi.

Sorry about taking so long, getting to the library to edit the profiles has been difficult recently, (my psp has word count limits too short for profiles)

Still need to pick traits and look up these hero point things (never heard of them before)

-
Tashimi, Silver Deana
Halfling werefox
Sorceress (Learned sorcery), will be going into shadowdancer. She uses stealth and agility to avoid opponants and to go unnoticed when needed.

The Silver family were fugitives from another land, and came here to escape those who were trying to kill them. They helped the lord of badger clan during an assassination attempt while he was travelling. When asked they told the why they had travelled here, the lord appreciated their honesty and their help, so he let them join the clan. Eventually they married with some other families, after proving themselves as the fastest and best scouts and their history of odd but useful magics.


darklighthitomi
I would appericate it if you chose one of the family names that were given earlier

Quote:


The Badger Clan only had one major family, the Ichiro, and two vassal families which managed to survive the Oni no Hideo attack.

it will make things easier along the way,

Thank you sir.
I will be honest it looks like that this will have to start after the new year I have a lot of things going on and need to travel a lot near the end of the year.

Look for a start date posted in the next couple of hours.

M Human Intellectual Fighter 2, Scientist 1

I selected Tashimi, I just gave the sub-family because I could give history of how a halfling werefox became part of a family that isn't all halflings or werefoxes, and because the alias was already made.

I did forget the instructors angle though, but her history already gives her something unique to teach, foreign spellcasting. I will note that in her profile next library visit.


Island Elf(link)

Take your time Master DM.

This time of year can get pretty hectic. (^_^)

Again, much cheers to every one.

Ye haw, square dancing! Do the dosie-do!
