Hi! As I've discussed in my interest check thread, I'm going to be GMing a pbp set in Midgard's Wasted West region. I'm looking for five or six good players. I'm not the quickest poster, but my goal is one update per week day, catching up on the weekend when necessary.
Character Generation:
20 pt. point-buy
Core races plus Midgard races, pending approval.
Classes the same- Core classes, APG/PRD/Midgard classes pending approval (I'm likely to say yes, so go for it).
2 traits
Roll for equipment or take the average.
Each PC will start with 2 hero points and we will be using the Status optional rules from the Midgard setting.
While prior knowledge of the setting (particularly from the Wasted West Player's Guide) is a plus, it isn't a prerequisite to join.
For selection, I want a mostly balanced group with a lot of flavor and good roleplaying potential. A brief backstory will also be helpful.
dot
I'll get to work on something today.
Thinking about a ranged weapon specialist...maybe ranger of some sort. I'm perusing the books tonight, and this weekend, to see what I can cook up.
Hey James, it looks like there a lot of Tieflings in the area, are they allowed as a player race?
Yes, they are.
I was curious about that, too.
There are a lot of races from the Advanced Player's Guide that seem like they'd fit or are straight up mentioned by name: Kobolds, Tengu, Tieflings, Goblins. Even Ratfolk. If it's a matter of you not having the books, I would remind you that they are on the SRD.
Either way, I'll have my character posted hopefully this evening, or possibly tomorrow morning.
[EDIT] Oh you posted while I was posting and now I look like an ass.
I'll try to have a character up soon! And the Hellfire Preacher Archetype is in Kobold Press's new book on Gunslingers.
I'm most likely going straight Human Ranger, with the Wastelands Seeker Archetype.
I am new to the Midgard setting, and playing online but I would like to see if I could join. My idea being a wizard who focuses on conjuration and illusion. (also is the souleater prestige class allowed?)
I'm gonna say no to the souleater prestige class- I'd prefer good and neutral aligned PCs.
okay just a thought so are you fine with a universalist wizard who leans towards conjuration and illusion?
I have two more questions
1) how do you roll in an online game?
2) can we do our character sheet with paper and pencil or do you want us to use an online creator?
James: I'm not sure how you feel about other third party material, but I'd love to use This Gunslinger Archetype if you might allow it. It looks pretty balanced and the fluff feels like it will fit perfectly. Totally understand if it's a no, but I wanted to ask all the same.

Through your profile you can make Aliases for your other characters, all of their stats and information is entered there. And then you post as that alias through the game. For instance, here is one of mine.
Rolling is also done here. By typing something like [di.ce]1d6 + 2[/di.ce] (without the periods) you can roll an appropriately sized dice with whatever modifiers are necessary. You can even give it a description, which is useful for attacks or damage, by doing something like this: [di.ce=Perception]1d20+5[/dice]
Which come out as such:
Her is Ingrid. Always wanted to play a female dwarf.
I'm going to work on a tiefling paladin today. Is it cool if I use the pitborn variant?
Assuming all is good with the pitborn paladin, I'll be working on Olivia Stormborn, Spear maiden of Mavros today. Would it be okay if I use the random table in Blood of Fiends to sub out the spell like abilities?
I <3 random tables.
Another question, Mavros is a neutral god, but Midgard seems to DE-emphasize the deity's alignments. Is it cool if Olivia follows him while remaining LG? If not, I may want to switch to a cleric.
Forgeborn, not Stormborn. Ack, I've got Daenerys on the brain.
Perusing the Midgard, book and the Wasted West book. Do you have any objection to the "Spelless ranger"? from Kobold Press?
Dotting for interest, but looks like I may be late pulling the trigger.
okay hanks for helping me learn about online posting thanks Yoricks
so just testing this out

I like the flavor of it, but I feel like the mechanics are a little too good. If you can add +1 to your damage rolls with just a swift action and a rank in Engineering, why wouldn't you do it every round? I'm a little leery of the Gunslinger to begin with, but I'm willing to see how it works out. I'm going to say no to the archetype, though.
And this is a caveat for anyone that wants to use firearms that I'll reiterate: They're a secret of the dwarves and very rare. You won't always have access to the required materials for more ammunition and you'll need to give me an explanation in your background as to how you came to wield one. Major cities may have a merchant with some black powder for sale, doing a service for the Cantonal dwarves may reward you with a few horns or a powder keg if they're particularly generous- but ultimately it will take more effort to stay stocked up than just going to the market and putting down some gold. I want to put that out there now before the campaign even starts.
Dotting for interest
I'm going to work on a tiefling paladin today. Is it cool if I use the pitborn variant?
I'd prefer you stick with the baseline tiefling.
Mavros can be your patron, though- over time we'll need to come up with an order and an ethos for her, since a paladin would need a different philosophy than the main faith. The Order Militant from the Wasted West book seems like a close alternative as well.
Perusing the Midgard, book and the Wasted West book. Do you have any objection to the "Spelless ranger"? from Kobold Press?
I'll read it over and get back to you.
Bit of a lurker on these boards, but the Midgard setting caught my eye and would not let me leave things alone. Regardless of my chances I will take my best stab at this.
From reading a bit into the setting I would like to try a Druid, likely with the wasteland Archetype from the WW players guide. I shall have a full write up soon, but a question.
For backstory and such my first choice has always been something similar to the minimus system, writing up a bunch of bullet points with the important parts. It doesn't look very pretty but it gives all the important information quickly and precisely.
Would you be ok with something like that?
Background presentation is fine- I just need enough to get a sense of the character.
okay just a thought so are you fine with a universalist wizard who leans towards conjuration and illusion?
Yup, put them together either as an alias or in a post and you'll be in the running.
I like the flavor of it, but I feel like the mechanics are a little too good. If you can add +1 to your damage rolls with just a swift action and a rank in Engineering, why wouldn't you do it every round?
Well, you would, in circumstances that you could use it. It's a class feature modeled after the arcane strike feat, which does the exact same thing. But given the gunslinger need to move/reload/shoot, I can't imagine that you actually have free swift actions all that often.
But, totally understand. It seems like a gunslinger might not be good for this given your clarification about firearms anyway.
After perusing the guide book, I figure I'd try
a Goblin Cavalier of the Order of the Sacred Boar (Valliss here)
I will start working him up
I feel like a character with Exotic Weapon proficiency with firearms and the Amateur Gunslinger feat may be a better compromise- I wouldn't want you to rely on something that can end up hosing your character and their ability to contribute if you're not able to restock regularly.
Hello Asopus Seekerstone reporting for duty (Void Dragon).
*10 =220
Oh yeah should clarify took average starting gold for wizard

Okie dokie. The vanilla tiefling's stats go the complete opposite way that I wanted for the character. May have to rethink some things.

Understandable, cheers. I have a backup in mind that I'll have posted within a few hours.
Ready for your perusal Jabbik StinkBreath, Cavalier of the Order of the Sacred Boar, any suggestions or comments be welcome
Will say I have never played in Midgard, mostly whta i know is from Kickstarter for "Journeys to the west". But I got the guide and have read it over some.
Jabbik Gained Empathy with Wolves at an early age. His father was keeper of the wolves for the BloodyTusk Clan. He started out learning to clean the pens, but his father noticed unlike the other lads the wolves didn't seem to tray to take little pieces out of him, or big ones either as he was cleaning the pens. When old enough he was presented to elders as a potential rider. Not only was he a capable rider he seemed one of the better riders of the clan. When the Scarlet Rovers called to send candidates to be prospective Cavaliers of the order, there was trial by combat. Jabbik has been training with the Order now for 18 months and they have deemed him ready for duty if it calls. As a gift for completing training he was given his own boar and some alchemical flasks that were plunder from previous missions.
One of Jabbik's oldest habits is the flavor of garlic, he cant get enough, he has some at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and snacks on cloves sometimes in between. He carries spare cloves in a tin and never goes any place without some.

Ecko
Male Tengu Alchemist (MindChemist) 1
Background / Personality
Ecko was born in Nuria Natal, a civilization where gods were not only worshipped, but walked among their people, sometimes aiding in their efforts to stop the Dragon expansion to the East. Before Ecko was an adult, he had already seen gods, and he had also seen their decadent ways, and how selfish they could be, turning their backs on others on a whim.
Believing that gods and magic were inconsistent and untrustworthy, Ecko embraced technology. From the first time he saw a Gearforged, he knew what he wanted to do. While his people had succeeded in raising the dead, those who made the Gearforged created life, something that he had not even seen the gods do.
With money and a lot of luck, he made his way north, across the sea. He traveled through the Seven Cities and the Crossroads, through the treacherous Western Wastes, and to a city in Bemmea known as Maillon, believing it to be a place of intelligence and discovery.
Instead, Ecko found a place of misery and deceit. Much of the city had sank into the swamp, forcing the construction of bridges and gondolas as a means to get around. Proximity to the Western Wastes lead to the existence of aberrations and warped beasts, which people pitted against each other and bet on. It was a town filled with smugglers, outcasts, black market dealers.
It wasn’t long before Ecko learned what had happened to the place. That the mages, who were responsible for the Western Wastes, who caused the fracturing of the Seven Cities, had teleported the entire town of Maillon into the swamp when they had no need of it. It seemed to Ecko that this was exactly the kind of thing that the gods would have done, and he found it infurating.
Not having the money to leave, Ecko wound up as an apprentice to an alchemist. Though the man certainly participated in shady dealings, he did have some actual knowledge, and he was able to teach Ecko how to create different concoctions.
As soon as Ecko had the means, he traveled back through the wastes to the Crossroads, to Zobeck, determined to find the means to make the Mageocracy of Allain pay for their hubris and neglect.

It gives +2 Natural Armour and +4 to the selected ability mental score for 10 minutes per Alchemist level. During the time the Alchemist suffers -2 to the corresponding physical ability score. When the effect ends, the Alchemist takes 2 points of Ability Damage to the ability score penalized by the cognatogen.

Midgard Description of the Tengu
The tengu are scoundrels and not entirely welcome everywhere. Their homeland is in Beldestan to the East, or on a branch of Wotan’s tree in the North, or on a high cliff of Horus’ hidden temple in the South. They have settlements in Trollheim, Vidim, Domovogrod, Nuria Natal, and the Dragon Empire, but none of these are large.
Their black feathers and long beaks are spotted on the road from place to place, trading information or helping to hatch plots. They are widely viewed as spies, informers, thieves, and troublemakers in Midgard, but when the tengu swear an oath they abide by it. They avoid the West and the Seven Cities most of the time, and are most honored in Nuria Natal, where they serve temples of Horus as sworn guardians, assassins, and defenders.
GM: Pistol Consideration
Going as an Alchemist who has the ability to use guns was the plan. But then I noticed that the cost of a gun is about 1,000gp which is absurd. What I’d like to do is justify it by both fluff and mechanics, saying that it was a broken gun that I had found / bought / stolen and repaired, which makes it pretty lousy. Instead of misfiring on just a natural 1, we could give it a larger chance to misfire (maybe a 2 or 3?) in exchange for a greatly reduced cost that I could actually hope to afford. Repairing it would obviously still take time / money / materials.
if we are rolling for health
and for status
I assumed we were using PFS rules(play a lot of PFS) for HPS, Max 1st level and 1/2+1 subsequent levels. But if this is not the case let me know and I can adjust/roll for hps.
I read for point buy characters status is a flat 4...plus/minus racial adjustments and plus/minus class adjustment (would make Jabbik's 3)

Arcane Bond Bonded Object: Ring
Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality. Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be held in one hand. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell's level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly.
A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard's level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard's opposition schools (see arcane school).
A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required item creation feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat. For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat in Feats). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type.
If a bonded object is damaged, it is restored to full hit points the next time the wizard prepares his spells. If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item. A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.
Hand of the Apprentice You cause your melee weapon to fly from your grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning to you. As a standard action, you can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that you add your Intelligence modifier on the attack roll instead of your Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier. 7/day

Hair: Black
-When Asopus was a child he was always running away from everybody until his 7th birthday when he was found and taken in by a kindly old wizard known as Haros.
-The next years of Asopus's life were filled with learning and mastering spells, but he only began to hunger for more knowledge and understanding of how the world worked.
-Asopus's first spell wasn't a cantrip, but a 1st lvl summon monster spell. His delight at using such a spell so early was slightly tempered by the fact that the town he was staying in was partially destroyed by his out of control warped fire beetle. Haros strictly scolded Asopus for this then congratulated him on becoming a wizard and in his own words "Who needs a town that big anyway?"
-Asopus also always found some time to play some jokes on other people. Nobody every knew where that sound was coming from or why that light had suddenly appeared. While Asopus got himself and his master kicked out of many different towns Haros never seemed to mind and actually encouraged some of it always saying that "Great wizards practice the best when they have to practice on the run!"
-Asopus was 20 when a strange storm of red lightning and red rain came, and his master disappeared that same night. The only thing he remembered of that night was that some strange crablike creature came, but he couldn't remember anything after that.
-After that night Asopus didn't have anywhere else to go so he packed up his master's things in case he came back, wrote a note detailing where he went, and took his old masters ring which had apparently been left behind for some reason.
-The next years of Asopus's life weren't very hard or trying he simply learned that the best way to deal with people was to stay quiet, and just try to only offer information if it was truly needed, or to avoid any fights.
-Asopus made most of his livings off of writing letters and books for those who couldn't. His payment was usually only a place to eat,a place to sleep, and a copy of whatever he wrote so he could read some in his travels.
-He continued to travel around the land searching for new knowledge and any clues to his master's disappearance, but the years have already tired out this scholar and he is almost sure that is master is dead and he should simply begin to just look for new knowledge.
-On Asopus's 23rd birthday he received a strange note from his master telling him that he was about to go on an adventure to learn some of the great knowledge's.
That's correct- HP max at 1st level, then half +1 each level after.
Status starts at 4+ Charisma modifier- it's then adjusted by race and class.
alright then I have the wrong hp but I think wizards get a +1 to status correct?
Yes, so you should have 5 total status. And your HP should be correct unless I'm missing something.
Perusing the Midgard, book and the Wasted West book. Do you have any objection to the "Spelless ranger"? from Kobold Press?
I gave it a look- I'll allow it.
