Ok she is 99% done, will check her in a day or two.
The Idea is she is a Magic using technologist Techno-mage, as we may be any kind of setting.
**Important Note**
I know there are a lot of people applying with very unusual characters/races, because this is a rare opportunity to do so. Please do not let that deter you from applying with a human or other base race! I'm hoping for a diverse party and having some 'normal' people in the party will actually make it more diverse than if it's all strange characters.
Ok, despite the GMs post above,
I am thinking about a Skinwalker Lunar Oracle, worshiper of the Moon Goddess.
Hey, I know you stated you don't like the combo of Multiclass and VMC, but I'm planning on a prestige class. Is that okay?
Also, planning a human. A Human Dragon Disciple, but he should pass for somewhat normal anyhow.
I've been busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest lately, so I haven't been able to actually get stats together yet, but I've got the concept settled quite nicely. I'll plug away at the stats as time permits until they're all done.
Human Skald 6/Evangelist of Shelyn 1. Wields a +1 keen impact glaive right up front, but is built more for support with the spirit totem and superstition rage power sets, as well as the Skald's Vigor feat chain. Expanded Spell Kenning and a few item creation feats let him provide nice little things for his allies when he has time, and a whopping 6 Knowledge skills make him a pretty useful source of answers when someone wants to know what's trying to maim them, though limited skill ranks means he has to cycle the skills in turn as he levels up. And he still has two high-level feat slots left to fill, so there's a wee tiny bit of room to further customize. If I had the feat slots to pull it off, Eldritch Heritage (arcane) and Improved Familiar would see him rocking a clockwork valet familiar too.
Appearance is almost a stereotypical Ulfen: big, blond, and beefy, with long mustache and hair, and a magnificent chest pelt. But the key word is almost; he has elaborate abstract tattoos in Shelyn's colors, permanently ink-stained fingers, minute scars all over his hands and arms from working with hot metal, and a faint squint from long hours staring at scrolls and texts.
The combination of battle-happy skald, scholar, and fervent devotee of Shelyn is pretty odd, but he makes it work. The terrible beauty to found in battle speaks well enough for itself, as do the epics of song and story that result, while a well-crafted piece of equipment or thoroughly-researched text on some obscure subject can be equally beautiful if you're willing to look at them the right way. Where other followers of Shelyn go for the low-hanging fruit of performance, art, and the like, this fellow encourages the discovery and appreciation of beauty in less-obvious forms.
@yokai, pt 2- magical child could apply a template to their familiar as long as it qualifies (if you upgrade to an improved familiar, they don't speak with animals of its kind so the template can't require giving that up).
polyglot familiar gives my familiar speak with animals of its kind, if I take that how would it interact with my familiars social identity (which alredy has speak with [...])? and would it allow me to take an familiar archetype that trades it away?
Technically I don't think most improved familiars can gain speak with animals of their kind because they are not animals (they're dragons and outsiders and whatnot)... If you tell me what familiar you want and what archetype you want to put on it I'll look at that specific combo and may allow it anyways.
A Dweomer cat cub with the Mauler archetype
I'm going to have to say no to the mauler dweomercat. Dweomer leap is just too potent when the pounce damage increases from mostly 1d2-1 for each attack to mostly 1d4+4.
Starting to come together
Wow, that slowed down quick... We went from 100+ posts in the first 36 hours to 6 in the last 18...
Wow, that slowed down quick... We went from 100+ posts in the first 36 hours to 6 in the last 18...
I'm back from my travels. Now I can sit down to make a submission. I'll be going with the horizon walker, though I won't actually be able to delve into the class until next level. Do you have an idea where the campaign may end level-wise?
Hey, I know you stated you don't like the combo of Multiclass and VMC, but I'm planning on a prestige class. Is that okay?
So, I'm guessing that's a no. That's cool. I have alternative choices. Nearly done now.
Second question: Is the pace of the sandbox going to be a bit of fast paced action, slow enough to be do like downtime rules, or up to the players?
Wow, that slowed down quick... We went from 100+ posts in the first 36 hours to 6 in the last 18...
Did you see my submission on the previous page? I had a couple minor questions there (are wands with less than 50 charges allowed and was having stories for my implements too "background-y"). Things usually slow down over the weekend.
I was going for an interesting character who is about middle-range of power level. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it!
Apologies for the missed questions; at one point they were coming in quickly enough it was hard to keep up.
Galoria- I don't have an end point in mind right now. As the party explores and adventures plot arcs will arise... If one of them brings nice closure we may call it quits after that, or we may just play until enough players have left for one reason or another (or posts have slowed enough) that it seems like time to pull the plug.
Oterisk- You may take VMC and a PrC. Its not my favorite (especially if you're using a feature from VMC to qualify for the PrC), but it is allowed. Please pay careful attention to my comments on how things stack and how far. In terms of pacing, there will be times when how quickly you do things matters (and there could be stretches of time when you don't have easy access to materials/workshops/whatever) but you should have a fairly high level of control over the pacing. Some of the downtime rules probably won't be applicable in this setting but some of them (like the crafting stuff) should work alright (with the previously mentioned provisos).
Johan- a wand with less than 50 charges is ok as long as you don't go crazy with it. (1-2 won't be an issue but if I look at a sheet and there's like 5-10 wands with just a few charges each it will definitely frustrate me). I'm still on the fence about the implements having history that you know... I will get back to you on that.
Sorry if this has already been asked (or I missed it in the original post on character creation), but what are we doing about traits? No traits? 2 traits?, more if drawbacks taken? any campaign traits (presumably not as we have no background).
**IMPORTANT: everyone please read**
I forgot one important detail- everyone gets 2 traits following the normal rules. You cannot select a campaign trait (since they tie you to a specific campaign ).I know I said anything published but I'm going to have to renege on this one... I will not be allowing drawbacks. Sorry.
Thanks
Would you allow a magical child to take tattoo chamber as a Vigilant talent (the other caster archetypes get it after all ) to summon my weapon and armor when transforming
Sorry, if this was asked, but is revolver from advanced firearms legal? If yes, can Craft(alchemy) be used to craft metal cartridges?

Hi GM Panic here.
Ok GM, I head a really long think about my PC, and dropping a whole TECH thing into this game, and others are working on PCs with guns. I feel TECH and such is just adding complications to the game and its not needed.
So I went away and re-thought the whole idea of who I would like to play. I came up with an idea I really like and one I think would be great fun to play with and be with others.
I have kept the name, but
RACE: She is now a 'Dhampir' I like them and I have a theme I wanted to run with of a Negative Energy user.
also Android just seemed a little over powered looking at the other submissions.
This idea of a Negative Energy user lead me to her class
Class: She is now a Kineticist (Overwhelming Soul) L7
She is linked to the Void and uses its energy to empower her talents.
She is a real heard hitter as well, which was lacking in my last build.
To put it in a nutshell, in a fight this is the Gal you want next to you.
Ynja Eva Ragnavold [Dhampir]
PERSONALITY Charismatic, Cunning, Deadly.
Ynja is Charismatic cunning and deadly, but she is not heartless, well not 100% any how. She just works to her own moral compass and plans that's all. She is not by any means a loner as well, no deep brooding goth her, she likes the company of others. She finds it stimulating and interesting, She also knows there is strength in numbers. Her mind tends to cunningly lock on to what ever benefits can be gotten from any situation. She is easy to get along with, and happy to hear others out. That is unless until attacked or provoked, at witch point the deadly comes into play.
DESCRIPTION
Tall, slender and with well-defined musculature, Ynja look's like a statuesque of unearthly beauty. Her hair is jet Black, her eyes silver gray orbs, her skin pale white, particularly in the sunlight. She can however pass as humans in ideal conditions, but her features are inevitably a little more pronounced and tend to move with an unnaturally fluid grace. The one really odd thing is the fact she has retractable fangs, which when out give away her true none human heritage. For clothing she has on a simple but well made travel outfit on. She wears no armor that can be seen and only has a Cold Iron dagger for protection.
Age N/A Height 6'1" Weight 69kg
Hair: Jet Black
Eyes: Silver gray
Body: Slender and tall
Skin Pale White
Voice: Husky
The updated crunch is done and in this her alt [but some small none magic items].
So many people going for firearms (even advanced) and tech :/. I'm feeling like my arcane trickster won't fit in...
Ye I know what you mean, but its so rare to have it in a game its a strong temptation to let lose and go for it.
I am happy I went another root, not cus it would be fun to have a revolver and shoot things like that etc, but just had an Idea that felt better for me. I am happy with the chance I made to Ynja, also it kind of worry's me if a PC is looking to for down time to make more shells to shoot, power cells to charge find ect, I waned her to not so locked to tech yet still fit in a tech world should they ever get to one. What I like most is she needs very little to get by, she do's not need to eat or breath even, and she is able to keep going long after others have spent their 'spells and shells' etc. I wanted her to be kind of indomitable in that way. A big scary at times charming Lady Criminal [Her background Profession].
Getting there on my crunch. Working on an Lv7 Unchained Rogue Secret Agent Woman...
Vishkanya Deadly Courtesan that is good at infiltrating, killing from a distance, being up close, or being the face.
Think female James Bond with poisonous saliva.
@Yokai- I'm not familiar enough with the vigilante to feel comfortable making even seemingly very minor changes to it at all. Especially with it being such a complex class with archetypes that change it so dramatically.
@Madcaster- I am allowing advanced firearms, but:
1) remember my comment on power level
2) all firearm prices are as printed in the book (none of the discounts for guns being commonplace or everywhere)
3) many/most of the places you'll be exploring won't have metal cartridges available. Without modern tools available you won't be able to just make them easily- gunsmithing will let you make the actual bullets but you'll need craft(alchemy) for modern gunpowder and craft(jeweler) for the brass casings. You might be able to hire others for those tasks, if you have enough time and a sample for them to work from.
@nate lange- 1. Just gunslinger pistolero/fighter weapon master. Not sure where is it on the power curve.
2. Got it.
3. I'll just take one more skill then.
@everyone (especially Oyzar)- I'm looking for a diverse party. The chances of me picking more than one gun user are really pretty slim.

"Not so important, who you are and where you came from. It doesn't matter to your employers. It doesn't matter to those whom you seek. What do you think about yourself no one will ever know. I'm just the tool for the job. And it suits me. Without people like me, the world will collapse."
Before you stands a tall, blond male. His hair is slightly curly, his short beard just touched with gray. His green eyes froze good-natured mockery. His mouth crooked smiles, as if he finds everything is a little funny. It seems that he understands and sees many times more than he says. And he says rarely.
"I have a code of honor. These rules gave me my God. They are simple, but they constructed my whole life. And I'll hold onto them, because I believe that they are Sacred. I do not believe that these rules are for all. To follow them you need to be strong in spirit. It is not for everybody, but I will not say that this is not their fault. In the end, the reasons are only important to you. For all the rest is only important the result. And it's honest. I like it."
He is wearing a dark green cloak, and beneath which lurks a light chainmail shirt. On his belt hang a pair of kukri with beautiful dark red handles. On hand - a ring with a symbol of two crossed paws of some insect. He walks to the bar, his movements are relaxed and soft, like a big predatory cat about to leap.
"It's simple. Here are the basic rules. Not to break the word. Always perform the contract, which I took, at any cost. Not to kill the children of sentient races. Not to kill the kings, because their power is divine. To always get what I promised - at any price. Not to forget, not to forgive and pursue until my last breath anyone who breaks the word that he gave me."
"Innkeeper, make me some tea. Don't give me that look. Good. Here, catch the coin. I heard there is possible to find someone by the name Nate. They say he has a job. Problems that need to be solved quickly but wisely."
"My reputation is the most valuable thing in my life. If I took a contract - it has no statute of limitations. If employer cheats me - retribution will be terrible. It is fair and it is unwavering. I like that word. Unwavering. Hope it's about me."
"...Of course, of course. And that's fine. Just tell him that here came Berstuk" - He removes the ring from his finger - "And give him this. He'll understand. Went!" - for a moment his gaze becomes ice.
"I find and kill those who ordered. Money is no object. Money is expression of intent, an expression of the fact that this is serious for the employer. Money and reward is part of sacred ritual. As the murder itself. I trained myself for many years, and now anyone can't hide from me. And it's not just a metaphor. I will find, even in the darkness of hell, by the smell, by trembling breath. My God has blessed me. I think, because on people like me the world stands. We do it better and more consistent. In the name of Him Who Walks in Blood. Let there... will be blood."
Stupid awesome idea. I am working on a pair of halfling brawlers. Getting Leadership 7th level for a 5th level cohort to coordinate maneuvers with.
EDIT: Question. I am fine with the restrictions on cohort but since they are going to be a team and utilize teamwork feats, can I combine the gp from wealth by level so the cohort has some decent stuff. 5th level npc only gets 2400 while the PC gets 23500. 10 times the amount.
I finished my mechanics...
Don't have time to write my fluff submission right now, but I am percolating it.
In the mean time, if you could look at the crunch and let me know if you see any concerns.
I do have 1 mechanics question - Seems like I could use some of my daily Toxic uses to refill my Iron Cobra Gauntlet. If not then I don't really have a use for that item, so I will probably replace it for something else.

I so hope you and I get our PCs picked, The two [not-so-good] girls would make an amazing fun to play double team in game. Josei doing the sneaking and Ynja doing the blasting.
The street was dark, Ynja looked at Josei who had just come back from the gate house.
whisper "Did he say no?"
A shake of the head indicating a negative.
"Want me to go talk to him?"
Now a much bigger shake of the head with a hint of, don't do what you did last time look.
"spoil-sport"
Ynia said, with a slight look of excepted rejection.
"Ye ye, I know.. I blow up one house and you will never let me forget it." she whispers as she looks back down the street from which Josei had just come..
@Zayne- if you want to spend some of your gold on your cohort that's fine. The only thing is, if you ever find yourself needing to replace your cohort for any reason the new one will not get any of that extra gold (so you could possibly end up behind everyone else's wealth).
@4realz- sure, you can use your venom to fill the gauntlet; you'll still use the regular reload time though.
@Zorin- you don't have to do a whole separate sheet, but it would probably be helpful if you had a spoiler in your profile with the 'fully prepped' version of common combat stats.
@Panic- thank you!
Got the crunch all done and uploaded to my profile. Here is his discription as well.
Zorin believes that the world is changing and evolving. It’s important that people keep up. Of course this is one way he simply justifies his enjoyment in experimentation. Whether it’s something simple like saving a person from the brink of death or directing a rare creature he has found, he will do anything to feed his curiosity. As a vivisectionist, he prides himself on his ability to cut and tear through his enemies. This is all done in an attempt to better understand biology. He prides himself on his intelligence, able to study and tear apart a creature before sewing them back up good as new. While he does often lose himself to violence in combat, he will is a doctor in spirit and will make sure his patients are taken care of to the greatest degree. All is done in pursuit of his passions, but he tries to realize when he may be taking something to far. All in all he is often in good spirits, always happy to talk about a current study or welcoming of volunteers.
Zorin himself is a tiefling. Thanks to this demonic blood his body has a few odd changes. The first of which is a large screw that juts through his skull. Instead of horns, a large screw seems to run through him with no signs of harm to him. In times of boredom or excitement he can even be found turning it, a rhythmic ticking coming from his head with every turn. Messy black hair with flecks of grey does little to hide the metal. His left eye is yellow like a goat while his right eye is human, a dark green color for it’s iris. His body is deathly pale as well, bearing heavy stitching across his body. It is unclear what stitches he was born with and what he added as he experimented on himself. He has an extra pair of arms located just underneath his originals ones. He seems proud about the extra limbs, proof of his medical prowess. The same goes for a large tumor that grows from his right shoulder blade. He has affectonatly named it Frank. Frank himself is actually a creature grown from Zorin’s own body, having developed into a Scorpion that can now detach from Zorin to act on its own.

Regarding the limit of half of the granted WBL on a single piece of equipment, what if we're getting a magic weapon (or other piece of gear) that's a bit over? The glaive I'd like to get prices out at 12,308, 558 over the mark.
Ynja - had to make a correction to Azrael - wrong prc for his faith, everything else is the same though - just switch out Evangelist for Mystery Cultist
@SamC- I would prefer to keep it below half (especially because if one of your items is over that there's a good chance you might be over specializing), but send me a PM with the cost breakdown for what you're looking at and I'll consider it.

Was a non-issue. After pricing out what I wanted, I had nothing left for armor, or gear, or even a ration, lol. So I had to downgrade the glaive by the costliest ability, which also dropped it below the half-way point in the process.
And my character, Marcusic, has most of the sheet done. Need to finish his gear section, and the various links.
Missed me, and an update is ready.
Alabaster Boralis, The Dragon Knight ready for inspection!
2. I think he would have been much more powerful if I hadn't gone DD because the Eidolon would be powered up by two levels and I'd have 3rd level spells. If I had gone without the Counter Summoner, I'd also have access to Summon Monster 4. This should make me more middle of the road. If you need to balance me up (which I doubt), I could rebuild without the prestige class and/or the archetype.
3. Taking out the VMC would easily power me down. I'd switch the racial trait for the Focused Study to increase UMD to 19, and switch my two feats for Exotic Weapon Proficiency and probably Intensify Spell.
Here's Drakroo, the Kobold Monk. He will bite you. It will hurt.
Personality is incoming, but I'm planning him to be the anti-kobold: disciplined, self-aware, down to earth, sturdy. How did he learn 7 languages? Excellent question. Why is he not an absolute jerk? Excellent question.
