Need 2 for a Rise of the Runelords PbP

[KoolKobold]

Okay I got Nirra's background and personality up. I'm gonna update her gear and she'll be completed.

BTW there are some amazing submissions here!

EDIT: Got it done, and added a musical instrument to her. She's not gonna multiclass as a bard or anything, she just likes playing music on the flute (even if she has no skill ranks in Perform)

[KoolKobold]

Apologies for double posting, but I have one more question: are background skills going to be implemented in this PbP? I'm adding in background skills, but I thought I would just ask.

[Dax Thura]

This is what we have so far for submissions. Each is mostly, if not totally finished.
I've divided them into the two categories the DM says he's looking for. If a character can fill both roles, I looked to see where the player said their character would be most useful.

Heal-Bot
Nerak the Numb-Minah-Waits-for-the-Sun- Human (shoanti) Druid (lion shaman)
Ouachitonian- Liam the Wanderer– Ifrit Paladin (tempered champion, hospitaler)
KoolKobold- Nirra– Halfing Oracle (life)
Deaths Adorable Apprentice- Aurora Warin– Human Oracle (life)
Jesse Heinig- Isabella Monstrance–Aasimar Cleric (merciful healer)
Fraust- Quill- Human Cleric (evangelist)

Trap Finder
Luke_Parry- Skerrin Maltisse- Elf Magus (bladebound/hexcrafter)
Sir Longears- Olaff Olaffson– Human (ulfen) Ranger
Joshua 9093- Fizgrubber– Goblin Rogue (unchained, scout)
Dax Thura- Durbin– Half-Orc Slayer
William Nightmoon- Vlad Mirwood– Dhampir Inquisitor (kin-slayer)
Tharasiph- Raok the Leaper– Grippli Inquisitor (sanctified slayer)
Vanulf Wulfson- Caerwyn Callandriil- Half Elf Rogue (unchained, scout)
DBH- Nissa Krager- Human Alchemist (crypt breaker)

Ok, we are working on making selections now. Thanks to everyone who applied with such interesting characters!

Have talked with the group and most everyone is interested in using the Background Skills system. Noticed several people were asking about that. ^_^

[Deaths Adorable Apprentice]

Wonderful. If i get to play, and I really hope that I do, I will add that to the skills.

[Jesse Heinig]

Sounds great! That will let me flesh out more of Isabella's interests outside of the adventurer-specific stuff.

[Deaths Adorable Apprentice]

So in my reading I found that it is common for Varisians to be deaf or mute. I picked sign language because of that. Is that likely to come up in play at all? I still like the flavor of it but I was curious.

[Olaff Olaffson]

Great news about the Background Skills! I've added K. geography and Profession (cook) to Olaff! "Vhat is de point of bein' good vith hunting a deer if yah can't season it vell enough, uh?"

Also, the link on the list above for Olaff isn't working!

[Jesse Heinig]

Isabella picked up Artistry (philosophy) and Profession (farmer), to reflect her background growing up on the farm and her last few years thinking a lot about the conundrums of how to keep an outlook of hope and compassion in the face of tragedy!

"The fact that we live through bad events means that it's on us to decide to continue to live well - all of life is a test; it's about how we respond to the unpredictable events that are put before us. Respond to good with good, but respond also to evil with good. You have it in you to create more good or evil in the world, so why would you choose to do ill? There are many questions in life, but the answer is almost always this: love."

[Minah Waits for the Sun]

Minah is updated again with the changes added to reflect Background Skills. She picked up Linguistics and Perception as her Handle Animal is now a Background Skill. Both fit in well with her backstory.

[Raok the Leaper]

Raok will pick up handle animal to reflect his work on getting human animals to accept him and craft net to reflect him trying to get in touch with his tribal relatives and enable him to make a standard grippli weapon.

[Dax Thura]

I heard your complaint and happily make the correction. After triple checking, that should have been the only one with an issue.

[KoolKobold]

Alright, Nirra has Handle Animal and Perform (wind) as background skills. Just a heads up.

And good luck to you all!

[Vlad Mirwood]

Vlad will take already has prof. Soldier, so I will use the background in that and put the extra in spellcraft. He will then take Lore (vampires) and that'll round him out.

[Liam the Wanderer]

Liam has picked up Artistry (Philosophy) and Profession (Barrister) to better reflect his focus on truth-seeking and argument, as is only appropriate to a devotee of the Empyreal Lord of Debate, Opinions, and Truth.

[Deaths Adorable Apprentice]

I put the rank into linguistics because people are happier when a merchant speaks their language. And the other went into Profession merchant which freed me to put a rank into spellcraft.

[bluedove]

Alright everyone, I have conferred with my players and we have made our selections. We'd like to invite Olaff Olaffson and Aurora Warin to join our game. Please join us on our discussion thread and we can start working out when and how to incorporate you into the party.

Once again, thanks to everyone else for such great submissions. I was sorry to only take two of you and I hope you will all find great games soon!

[Jesse Heinig]

Ta! If another opening arises, do keep us in mind!

[Nissa Krager]

Good luck to the chosen.
