Serene Barbarian...? Ouch, that is so far away from the concept of Helgash, both in his behavior and backstory. This guy is still brimming with rage and misgivings regarding all he has been through, not at all calm and contemplative, instead he has much to prove, mainly to himself.
Also, mechanics wise, it is painful as hell, when looking at so many optimized gestalt characters applying.
I'll take a further look at it, but it does not really fit what I had in mind. Can I ask why the Serene Barbarian archetype restriction?
What if I would then go for the Maenad race as was suggested in the forums?
He has cycled the rage within, finding purity of focus in his faith and the memory of Talian.
Did you need anything more from me aside from the minor edit?

Regrettably that is not the way I would like to play this character, although I can perfectly understand your reasoning and interpretation of his path so far. It is simply not mine :D
In any case, thank you for having taken the time to consider my application Black Fang.
This is lady Zaladane and here is Pai of the Redfeathers ready and waiting your approval
Grr still not saving

Then I guess the epic of Helgash with standard barbarian rage will have to do.
Edit: Never mind, Looking for the character creation rules now.

Yes.
Ok, so crunch is up and running on alias link.
Black Fang, let me know if it is ok.
He has indicated that if something is in the PRD then it is ok. Just look at all the posts prior that have said that. His question about whether or not it was in the PRD was most likely sarcasm/rhetorical.
Well, looks like I'm not going to be done in time. Good luck to all.

I know.
The story behind this character is a little more complicated :D

Dun't give up! Keep pluggin' away an' mayhap the Dm'll show mercy....um...>_>...maybe we can sway the thoughts of...um...
Jus' dont' give up hope! (^_^)
I be cheerin' for ye! (^_^)
Joshua Hirtz here with Theodronis, the hopeful Aldori Swordlord. I've updated his background and given him a name. He has no last name given as he will give none if asked for it. Instead he has forsaken it in his determination to gain the name Aldori. Your acceptance I hope to have when you make your final decisions. If I am one of the lucky few, I will continue to flush out his background, perhaps with a bit of GM assistance.
Had to go to a funeral this weekend, so didn't get a chance to post this earlier. Here's my submission, though - a vanaran flowing monk/menhir savant druid. The background isn't quite what I hoped for, but I have to get some sleep in preparation for a full day of driving tomorrow...
Thanks for the consideration...and here's hopin'.
*Hugz Garl*
Wishing you all the very best in your time of sadness.
4 hours 18 minutes remaining.
Very excited for this good luck to all
The time of judgment approaches.
Added a bit on the fall from grace of Annik's adoptive father. Looking forward to see how this ends up.
This looks like it will be really interesting.
Good luck to all who applied ;)
Well, back from the weekend. Sitting here hoping! Good luck all! :D
Indeed. I'm really looking forward to seeing who gets chosen as well.
Though I'm wondering just how long it will take for the roster to get posted after the deadline. I'm not sure how much Black Fang has gotten to look over everyone's submissions.
So good luck to everyone and no hard feelings if I don't get chosen.
And the future Lords of the Stolen Lands are....
Annik Birger: You are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Master of Magic Items (Horrifically Overpowered)
You can use any magic item to its fullest.
Prerequisites: Use Magic Device as class skill.
Benefit: You can use any magic item, even if you would not normally be able to do so.
.
Baelin Orlovsky: You are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Supernatural Spell Monster (Horrifically Overpowered)
You’re not really a spellcaster, but you might be mistaken for one.
Benefit: Select one class you have levels in that casts spells. Though you must meet the casting time and all the prerequisites of those spells to use them, they do not count as spells. For rules purposes, they function as supernatural powers.
.
Connel Lebeda: How do you have 4 skill ranks? I count 2 from class plus 1 for human. According to your alias, your class bonus is +1 hit point. All this means I calculate you having 1 more skill rank than you should. Regardless, you are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Heroic Grace (Horrifically Overpowered)
You are destined for greatness, and are thus unlikely to be petrified by a wandering monster.
Benefit: You may add your Int, Wis, or Cha bonus to all your saving throws, in addition to your normal ability modifier. This does not stack with the paladin’s divine grace class feature, or any other ability that adds your Int, Wis, or Cha to all your saving throws. (You are still allowed to add your Wisdom bonus to your Will saves, as normal.)
.
Helgash: Your ability scores are 29 points out of 25 allowed, meaning you spent 4 more points than you had available. Also, why did you select Magical Knack as one of your traits? Why are you 8 ft. tall? Regardless, you are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Extra Lives (Horrifically Overpowered)
You are just hard to kill.
Benefit: Your character can come back from the dead, with no penalty, three times in its total career. This happens at the end of whatever encounter you died in, unless that would cause your character to immediately die again (such as if your body was dropped into a pool of lava). In that case, you return to life at some safe location within a week, at the GM’s discretion. If you think your character is likely to be raised quickly and easily, you may choose not to use this ability when you die, in which case it does not count against your three total uses of this feat.
Special: This feat can be taken more than once. Each time you take it, the number of times your character may freely return from the dead increases by three.
.
Hyglak Lebeda: Your ability scores are 24 points out of 25, you have 1 remaining to be distributed. Without changing other scores, you can increase Int or Cha by +1. How do you have acid resistance 5 instead of fire resistance 5? Regardless, you are selected. Select one of the two following Horrifically Overpowered feats.
Skill Domination (Horrifically Overpowered)
You are an expert in a wide range of skills.
Benefit: All skills count as class skills for you. You can always make a skill check untrained.
Skill God (Horrifically Overpowered)
You are the best at one thing you do.
Benefit: Select one skill. Whenever you must make a check for this skill, you always act as if you had rolled a 20.
Special: This feat can be taken more than once. Each time you select it, it applies to a different skill.
.
Korren Blake: You are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Perfect Blow (Horrifically Overpowered, Meta-Attack)
You can make a perfect attack.
Benefit: Once per day you can choose to make a single attack a perfect strike. Rather than make an attack roll, you hit any AC equal to 20 + your attack bonus or less. The attack automatically threatens a critical. The attack hits even if the target has a defense that would normally cause the attack to be ineffectual or have a chance to be mistargeted, such as mirror image, displacement, concealment, invisibility, etherealness, or feats that allow an attack to be blocked or dodged. The attack bypasses any DR or other defense of the foe, but can be healed, recovered, or regenerated normally.
.
Theodronis: Aldori dueling swords are exotic weapons, and therefore you cannot select them for the Heirloom Weapon trait. Regardless, you are selected. Your Horrifically Overpowered feat is...
Widen Attack (Horrifically Overpowered, Meta-Attack)
A limited number of times per day, you can lay about you in a frenzy of blows to kill foes near and far.
Benefit: Three times per day as a swift action, you may declare one weapon attack, natural attack, or unarmed attack to be a widened attack. You must make this declaration prior to making your attack roll. A widened attack allows you to compare your attack roll to the AC of every foe in any four spaces (each adjacent to at least one other of the four spaces, and all within 1 space of an area you threaten). Each foe whose AC is exceeded by your attack roll akes damage from the attack.
Woot, thanks for the go on my character. I don't know how it didn't click in my head that that didn't work. I read the trait so many times already, but I'll switch it out for a legitimate trait. And that's a nasty feat. I'll have to think about what I can do with it.
Also, congrats to the rest of you and sorry to those that did not get in. Theodronis will kill some baddies for ya.

No worries. Part of why it took so long to get select folks was because I was tearing through y'all builds, triple checking everything.
Thank you Black Fang for taking me aboard.
Indeed some nasty horrifically overpowered feats running amok.
@Black Fang: I believe you are reading the Tiefling Heritage I have chosen for the character (+2 INT) - and it shows as 4 extra points? I selected Magical Knack so that I can have my full spellcasting ability when I get there. And 8 feet tall because... I wanted to be a big guys and went overboard? Lets say....7'? :D

Your ability scores are listed as: Str 18, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 16
As a demon-spawn tiefling, you have racial ability modifiers of +2 Str, +2 Cha, and -2 Int.Str = 18 (10 base, +6 [10 points], +2 racial)
Dex = 12 (10 base, +2 [2 points])
Con = 14 (10 base, +4 [5 points])
Int = 13 (10 base, +5 [7 points], -2 racial)
Wis = 10 (10 base, no change)
Cha = 16 (10 base, +4 [5 points], +2 racial)
Total of 29 points. What am I not seeing?
Would you accept Swordlord's Page as his other trait?

Fine by me.
I figured I could go with something more overpowered, but this will flow nicely with the fact his father is an Aldori Swordlord.

I selected Variant Abilities and Physical Features from the Advanced Races Guide - it was readily available in Herolab so I just picked it up for +2Int.
So my Int was only raised from 8 to 11 for 3 points, Stat 12 and 13 come from the bonus - hence the count of 29 points.
Let me know if the Variant Abilities and Physical Features are disallowed and I'll get rid of it.
Shocking, thank you for reminding me why I will not be building anymore characters to apply to pbp's, simply not with the effort anymore

Yeah, I don't like Hero Lab. Where does the +2 Int come from? What book?

Sorry dude.
All updated. Will we be waiting till after the rest of the crew posts to start up the story?
Yes, I want everyone 100% ready before beginning.
Good to be a part of this
Got a question in regards to my OP feat: How does it actually work? Am I considered to meet the requirements for an item or do I simply ignore the requirements?

You possess an inherent understanding of magic items. It does allow you to auto-identify their abilities, but you can use them without fail. Basically, you are treated as rolling high enough to blindly activate every magic item you use that requires activation.

That is just DAMN nice!
Awesome! I got in. Interesting OP feat. Showed it to my room mate and he's like..WTF!? It'll be effecting the summoner side of my character. I can't wait for it to start. Is anything else with my character that needs to be checked/looked over. Since it's all basically core, I think it should be all fine. Double checking everything myself, but in case I miss anything. Otherwise, the half-elf and his poodle, is ready to go exploring! :D

If you're talking about the chart of 100 different tiefling abilities you can replace their SLA with, you need to roll for that three times, selecting one of the three you roll.
