The abundance of martial candidates does make it seem 2 or 4 may be right right hero to come out of this House. I'll move for 4, and go with the wizard idea. I think it's time to brush up on my Sun Tzu. How about a Sun Tzu spouting diviner/archer?

there is a ranged paladin archetype (Divine Hunter, and holy gun) you could look into as well. just letting you know the options.
This is browman's character. I think I updated everything in the profile
Definitely interested, not sure what I'm going to do yet though. How many submissions per person do you allow?
Tossing up between a Sandman Bard, or a Warpriest of Gozreh. Do you allow access into Prestige Classes or do you prefer we stick to the main book classes / archtypes.
O.k in that case, I'll submit a Sacred Fist Warpriest of Gozreh, with an eventual eye on the Storm Kindler PrC. Should be favourable and fun, which always makes for a good character submission.
Posting interest. I just found this thread and I'm about to crash so I don't have time to roll up a character right now, but I'll get something up tomorrow.
I'll give it more thought before I submit a character, but right now I'm leaning toward a tiefling who was never overly bothered by their own nature, and wants to join the Dawn out of a mixture of a genuine desire to help people, a way to show up all those who looked down on them because of their blood, and, at least partly, because life has been *boring*.
Class wise, I'm willing to fill in wherever I'm needed, but I would be happier playing either an Arcanist, Magus, Wizard, or Swashbuckler. (I have a thing for the arcane, if it wasn't obvious)
Also, I feel I should give advance notice in that this would be my first PbP on the Paizo forums. I've been in several on other sites, but not here, so I may make some formatting errors initially, but I would adapt quickly.
(Hopefully I formatted the dice roller right...)
are you full if not i would like to play a psinic telepath elf if i may
@Johnny-Panic, the GM hadn't stated it in his initial post, so I asked if there were any classes that weren't allowed. He replied saying no Psionics.
Here's the post for reference :
classes- No psionics, sorry guys. I haven't used them before and it doesn't jibe with the idea I have. Guns are emerging. Witches are looked down on as evil due to the pacts with... otherworldy beings, though are not unheard of to work within the order from time to time. No samurai and no ninja, love the classes but they just don't fit :(.
Ok thanks for letting me know, I think then I have another idea.
I would like to play an android race machinesmith class
As the android standed is 16Rp I will take away
Nanite Surge: An android's body is infused with nanites. Once per day as an immediate action, an android can cause her nanites to surge, granting a bonus equal to 3 + the android's character level on any one d20 roll; this ability must be activated before the roll is made. When an android uses this power, her circuitry-tattoos glow with light equivalent to that of a torch in illumination for 1 round (3 RP.)
This then gets it to Tiefling (13 RP). Drow (14RP) level.
The idea is that to fight the undead in the war a regiment of android where made, they could not be made into undead and where like the undead as they would fight all day and all night. How ever the cost to make them and skills needed where so high they the plan was abandoned. Now only a few are left they know only war.
Unit leader ZEN 5 has been standing guard all this time, now the darkness is coming again, it has become active once more, there is light again in its eyes. This is its 3ed soul so its forgot a lot of what it learned form the war.

@Johnny-Panic,
The rules for stats are in the first post of the GM.
Pick one stat, give it an 18, pick another, give it an 8, purchase others with a 17pt buy.
OR, roll 4d6, 7 sets, drop the lowest, drop lowest d6 from each.
It doesn't mention anything about rerolling 1's. The GM did state in a later post that you can first roll and see if you like your stats, if not you could opt for the other option.
Thanks I much have had a brain Dizz
Ill just do points its simpler
Str [14] [+2] Raw[14] [5points] [ race][ ]
Dex [16] [+3] Raw[16] [5points] [+2race][ ]
Con [12] [+1] Raw[12] [2points] [ race][ ]
Int [20] [+5] Raw[10] [18] [+2race][ ]
Wis [14] [+2] Raw[14] [5points] [ race][ ]
Cha [6] [-2] Raw[6] [8] [-2race][ ]
Not trying to be difficult, but it might help to read the GM's opening post in full.
For reference you can find the character creation part as quoted from the opening post. (With some relevant items bolded)
Character Creation
Spoiler:Level 3, (I hate level 1 :/)
Pick one stat, give it an 18, pick another, give it an 8, purchase others with a 17pt buy.
OR, roll 4d6, 7 sets, drop the lowest, drop lowest d6 from each.
2 traits, drawbacks are allowed.
wealth- as per WBL
each player will receive a minor magic item gifted to them by the order. (my choice)
HP- max HD
NO EVIL. If you want to play Evil that much, better give a GOOD reason your not with the other side. (only lawful evil need apply)
NO CN. I have seen this to often deform into evil. NN-LG is A-ok.
I would as no necromancers or the like. (Although I am open to the undead bloodline sorcerer, as always, with a really good story, I am open to discussion on this.)
no stats below 7 after racials.
Any wishing to play a cleric/paladin please refer to the specific section listed below for additional rules on these classes.
3rd party stuff on case-by-case basis, playtest classes on a case by case basis.
Everyone gains one addition feat at level 1.
Any core race +aasimar teifling(there very few of these, I expect good things from one who wishes to play an aasimar or teifling)
I will look at other races on case by case, need a good reason why you are what you are though. (yes, goblins+orcs are open races... but need a good reason why you’re in the other kingdom and why you joined the order.)
(Seriously I am giving you nice stuff, don't min/max. I WILL kick your teeth in with that min area. Not all the time... but when it hurts, it HURTS. :3)
If you have any other questions concerning character creation just ask in the thread.
Paladin and clerics-
First, I will list the way I see paladins.
Paladins are divine followers of there god, they are the sword and hammer, the cleric is the healer. Paladins will always uphold good over law. (Though they do not break laws willy nilly).
If a paladins code comes into contradiction with a law, the paladins code comes first, A paladins code should be an almost perfect reflection of there gods tenants. I WILL want your paladins code with the submission of your paladin. I am a very lenient GM where paladins are concerned.
Clerics- Clerics must also submit there own code of conduct to me. They will not be held quite as strict as a paladin, but I wouldn't sway to far from it. This code, like the paladins must be in line with your deity.
also, paladins may select NG or LG. (I prefer LG paladins, as it DOES fit better though, codes still required for either.)
Thanks for looking in!
He specifically states that you are not allowed to have a stat lower than 7 after racial modifiers. So putting the 8 in charisma would not be allowed. If you play a race with a -2 on charisma.
Another point about your Android idea. Just so you know, the pathfinder androids aren't immune to becoming an undead, as they are only immune to disease and sleep effects. More info on what affects an android (first topic I found about it).
Also not certain how androids & machinesmith would fit in the concept the GM put forth for the campaign, but that's just my opinion. The GM did state he would look at other races & 3rd party stuff on a case-by-case basis.
Sorry for the double post, but I have some more questions.
@GM, I was looking into where I want to go with this character in later levels and I currently was looking at the idea of making him into an expert fencer, not really focused on true damage dealing, but more on disarming his opponents. [Still dealing considerable amounts of damage as he levels due to the swashbuckler's precise strike ability, inspired swashbuckler's rapier training and increasing dexterity)
Now my question is, would it be useful for me to actually invest in the improved disarm feat line (and when relevant the mythic versions thereof) or will we be facing mostly opponents with natural attacks or lacking weapons in another way. Because it wouldn't be fun to invest a huge chunk of my feats into something I can only use a few times over the course of the game.
The other option I'm looking at is going the more damage focused way and taking things like power attack, furious focus & the vital strike feat chain (with also the mythic versions thereof)
I'm going to drop from this, its seems this game will have two GMs, been in games like that before and they, note fun, yes I missed some stuff but I am fully aware of Androids, there was no need for that, so. so by all means carry on, but I am out.
@Johnny-Panic, was by no means my intention to be a second GM to this campaign or anything like that. Just was trying to be helpful.
I'm sorry if I offended you in some manner.

It seemed to me like you were just trying to have him avoid having his finished character rejected by the GM for not following the character creation.
Rorek is there anything else you need from me for my submission?

Well that escalated quickly. Woulda discussed it with him. Ah well :/
@theory-it would be about 50/50 for when useful, earlier on woild entail it being less useful. While about the "middle" levels being the most you could be using it.
@browman- haven't had tyme to look over it in detail but I don't see much missing off the bat.
I need to rework a few things but this particular toon fits the feel I'd like to contribute to the endeavor.
Raised as an orphan, the young girl frequently fought her pyro tendencies while learning to be a scribe in a bookshop. Did I say numerous and frequent temptations? While her peri-blooded background often boiled under the surface, it generally displayed as a warm personality. Maybe a little quick to trust, a little naive, and a quick study.
One benefit of working in a bookshop is the limitless access to reading materials. Learning the secrets of the arcane was a lengthy process, but her long childhood gave her plenty of time to stumble through the basics.
Several of the books she had read were first hand accounts of the Great War. Often in the evening Cyniq would lay in bed staring at the stars idly rubbing the callouses on her hands from endless hours of scribing letters and copying manuscripts. She felt drawn to a higher purpose, that her life was meant to be more than just a bookbinder. On her off days while she wandered the markets of Spero she would feel a yearning, a directionless pull on her very bones, but without direction she could only wonder.
Today had been one of her worst. First a bookshelf had collapsed, nearly burying her under ancient tax treatises. Later while walking along the city wall a stone had fallen free and nearly crushed her. Just outside the farmer's market a wagoner lost control and his wagon had just missed running her over. In her haste she had fallen into a pool of muddy water. Stumbling out she had grabbed at a post, accidentally tearing a posting off the post in the process.
With water dripping from her bangs she spread the paper out and looked at the advertisement. Repent! For the end draws near! Repent and save your soul. This advertisement approved by the Order of the New Dawn.
As she read the endorsement she felt a direction for that yearning she had lived with, this was her calling, to join this Order.
With a quick casting of a cantrip, the mud and water was cleaned from her outfit as she hurried to sign up as a disciple of the Order of the New Dawn.
I'll work on revamping the toon. Change her ability scores, boost her up a couple levels.
Peri-blooded aasimar with scion of humanity trait (no disguise needed to pass as human) wizard.
Gah, as much as it pains me I think I'm going to have to withdraw interest for now. Some things came up and I haven't had time to make a character and I probably won't for at least another week.
Good luck everyone.
Well this looks oddly familiar...
Maybe i will get another chance to headbut a boulder =^^=
Ill be submitting a dwarven armored hulk barbarian who wears stoneplate and fights with a stone boulder helm.
His feats will be power attack, imp bull rush and steel soul.
His focus will be Con and his folly Int
Ill have to rework this alias (currently a barbarian mish-mash with the earth infused template)[/ooc] and dig up his fluff...
Decided to do an Arcanist instead, lost my notes on my Warpriest's character background and wasn't happy at my attempts to recreate it.
Arcanist
For Ashnah Lialda, life in the Mordant Spire was a more lonely existence. Many of the elfish folk that lives in the Spire were bound together in family communities, but for Ashnah, such a community lacked a father figure, as her mother had spent but a single night with her father in a secular human settlement, before departing and returning to the Spire the very next day, never to return, and despite her repeated requests, her mother would not be drawn upon the subject.
Her Half Elf heritage would gradually become a problem with her tutors, who saw the human side of her as a barrier to Ashnah to achieve her full potential, and as a result she was often pushed hard to become more “Elf like”, frequently experiences extra work on elfish history or extra study on the cultural identity of the elfish race. Unfortunately for her tutors, this “push” ended up having unforeseen consequences, with Ashnah being drawn to transmutation magic, claiming that if her tutors wanted Ashnah to be “perfect”, then perhaps magic was the answer, perhaps magic was the answer to achieve “perfection”, the fact that had been drummed into her in her schooling.
Obviously, transmutation magic was a sore point for elves in the Spire, many of them remembered the Azlanti Runelord Karzoug, master transmutator and the Runelord of Greed, and Ashnah had several discussions with her tutors upon the subject. Despite the topic being debating furiously, Ashnah’s arguments her well founded and had good intentions. To appease her tutors, she claimed that she wanted to study transformative magic in order to limit the barrier her human heritage allegedly affected he,…and if she managed to uncover some new branch of transmutation magic then she could use it to help others, or otherwise attempt to benefit the spire born elves who lived in the Mordant Spire.
Wanting to continue her research, Ashnah left the Spire on her own, and quickly set about her studies. Over the course of her research, she discovered more about the powerful Morzarath and his undead army that had rampaged upon the world. Ashnah had a small crisis of faith as she studied both transmutation and necromancy- both of them dealt with permanent change upon the subject, before coming to the conclusion that necromancy was a barrier to enlightenment and potential, turning people into monsters incapable of controlling their baser urges, and so she left and joined the Order of the New Dawn, determined to combat the hidden evil rising in the land, putting aside her studies for the time being in order to counter this threat.

GM, would you mind dropping the the 2nd level spells requirement off of the mystic theurge? And maybe drop the skill req to 2 ranks in K.(religion) and 2 in K.(Arcana)?
I have an idea for a human or half-elf mystic theurge that I think would fit in nicely.

Mikhail was born and raised in Spero. He comes from a poor family which meant he spent most of his days roaming the streets, learning and doing whatever he could to get by and preferably stay out of trouble. He also learned that sometimes words and a threatening posture can diffuse many situations, but that one also needs to be prepared to follow through on their threats. With what little money he had, he bought himself some weapons to be able to defend himself if the need arose.
At the age of 12, Mikhail got a job as a city guide due to his extensive knowledge of interesting locales within the sprawling metropolis. He was good at his job and got many tips due to excellent services and his charming personality.
One day, while leading a couple on a tour through Spero, he came past an ally where he saw a Dwarf being beaten up. Mikhail called out to the assailants loudly, making certain more people were aware of the situation. Realizing they had been noticed they quickly fled the scene, while Mikhail concerned himself with the man.
It turned out that he was Dolgrin Norvok, the son of Grunyar Norvok, a famous dwarven smith. Grunyar was grateful that Mikhail had saved his son and offered him one of his finely crafted weapons as compensation.
His act of kindness had not gone unnoticed as a priestess of Shelyn approached him a few days later. She asked him if he would be willing to join the order of dawn so he could better protect those in need from the darkness in the world. He gladly accepted.
The following years he trained under the guidance of Ryuu Rosewell quickly honing his swordplay. He completed his training and officially joined the Order of Dawn as one its knights. For the moment he is tasked with assisting in keeping the order on the busy streets of Spero, but he knows that soon he will be sent on a real mission. In his free hours he spends his time playing the lute in one of its many inns, waiting for that day to finally come ...
Would it be possible to use point buy to increase the 8 of the foible at all? Im asking because a 6 charisma dwarf is offputting and my rolls were not helpful in that regard.
Therie Gorget - Alchemist (grenadier) 3 for submission by blondebandit.
sure. you can do that.
Ah, I was under the impression that the 18 and 8 had to stay exactly like that (apart from racial modifiers) - good to know :D
So, if I roll...
= 16
= 12
= 15
= 12
= 17
= 9
= 16

Will do.
Never,never! By which I mean,will do.
