Heya kyrt-ryder. Posting in here by your recommendation.
I have no problem with either text or mic chat. My schedule is really only every other Sunday.
As for character concept? I typically play a character who uses a 1-handed weapon and a shield, though have no problem playing a spellcaster. Background almost always consists of the character being a former smith (blacksmith, armorsmith, weaponsmith). Even played a wizard once with that background (transmutation master who took magic item creation feats). I also like having an animal companion or familiar many of the times as well.
I am happy to play any AP
My schedule is 9am to 3pm pacific weekdays, weekends can be made flexible, hopefully, however I occasionally have funny work hours on weekends.
I will get back with a character concept shortly
I would like to play a shapeshifter. Partial and complete. With a mechanic similar to a kineticist. He can physically alter his body to improve his prowess in combat or to give himself means to deal with problems (grow wings to fly, monkeys hands to climb, etc.) but doing so causing him physical harm as well. He possibly gains the ability to morph other people and animals and such.
Possibly nature related spells from the druid spell list, but a very selected range and only minimal levels.
However, rather than "bam, wings feathers and all" it is more a painful manipulation of his own bones and muscles. That is why it causes difficulty for him physically.
I hope that all makes sense.
To where would you like us to link them?
Also name wise, I am thinking backstory, he couldn't control the growth as he aged and as such she was supposed to be killed, but his father couldn't do it when he took the boy out of town, and instead let him go, killing and mutilating an animal before burying it so the villagers would think the deed done.
Somewhere in ustalav maybe?
It has been so long since anyone called him by his name, he doesn't remember it consciously anymore
Or is that all a bit to cliche
Agreed, I shall think. What is the most common name in your world?
She is a he or she, no gender really. Is that alright with you?
I am the guy who pmed you for 9am to 3pm

I am significantly interested in your every-other-sunday but I can't commit today, so right now I am adding a 'tentative' mark there for a day or two - if someone who already knows they're good for it chimes in before that, let them take preference.
For APs, I will note that I have played most of RotR, the middle parts of Carrion Crown, I run (past and current) Reign of Winter, and am now in the first bits of Kingmaker. I did a couple sessions of Skull and Shackles but never left book 1; someone was using Shattered Star mixed with a home campaign, but we didn't get past Book 1 material for that either.
Couldn't tell you concepts until a game was settled, because my filing drawer of half-thought-up characters overfloweth in my mind. :)
Again, if someone jumps in more solidly before I come back to this thread, feel free to grab them and I will join the wait list for the sunday spots.
Edited in: While I can mic, I am significantly more a fan of text.
That is why I thought I should remind you
Exclusive shield weapon would be interesting. I wouldn't be adverse to that.
As for APs: I played through about 3 books of both Second Darkness and Crimson Throne, attempted to run Kingmaker and Carrion Crown, and played through Wrath of the Righteous. The APs I would like to try out are Runelords (I know you are already doing this with the Tuesday group), Giantslayer, Jade Regent, Curse of the Crimson Throne (honestly, all I remember is the opening bit, but I can seperate player and character knowledge), and Mummy's Mask.
I'll have to look at the Hero you linked in a previous thread, to get a full concept. Also need to look through my 1200+ images I saved of character inspiration to help me out.
So ranks don't increase skill rolls beyond making it a "trained" skill?
Rather they function somewhat akin to unchained skill unlocks where they allow new uses of the skills?
Also, I wanted to confirm ability score rolls, I believe in the other thread you said 12 sets of 3d6, take the highest 6?
NOTE: I'm presenting the link to the Ability Scores and what they do, as well as the link to the Skills below. I use 3d6 twelve times take the best six results, but take a liberal approach as GM to hand out a bit of bonuses if need be.
I will roll here now just to get that out of the way
Highest 6 are: 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12
Different topic
The acrobatics skill adds different things you can do as you put more ranks in it. With knowledge you get 1 at your level for free, 1 more per point of intelligence, and 3 for a single rank in knowledge.
Am I understanding that correctly?
So the skill points per level in the overview doc are not skill points per level?
Thinking hero of soul or stamina.
roll 3d6 12 times and take the 6 you want? Let's see how that goes for me.
Wow, that's rather average. I have no problem with that. So, that would be... 16, 15, 14, 14, 13, 13.
What are the race choices, by the way?
I am not sure I exactly have a base race.
I suppose I would have a base race though that my body gets manipulated around. Unless the class is "genetic" and affects his race, maybe the shape changer subtype on human
I like it being something she was born with. a mutation in genetics or possibly exposure to something during gestation or something
I have asked my GM from 2 of my other games if he wants an opportunity to play and he seems somewhat interested
Did you think about putting a post in product discussion?
I have seen adverts for kickstarters there. You could probably get away with a call for players for an alpha playtest
I am curious as to which of the archetypes you might use for me
Definately something inbetween.
Sort of the way the kineticist goes about its class abilities
Ahha
Ok.
It has magical-esque abilities, that have no limits on use.
You can empower the abilities at the cost of your health, up to a certain amount of times per day.
So say they can launch a fireball, they can just shoot a normal one, or they can hurt themselves with nonlethal non heal-able damage to add abilities to it, like maximise it or give it toppling.
That damage heals with rest completely.
They can however spend extra time to draw power from the world around them, instead of themselves, so they dont have to damage themselves.
so they can standard action maxamise for like 3 nonlethal damage per level, or they can 2 full round maxamise it for no nonlethal.
Does that make sense?
Instead of gaining bonus feats and such, he gains utility talents and infusions.
Infusions are things like maximise and toppling, or the ability to turn his blast into a sword. Infusions change his blasts.
Utility wild talents are things he can do instead of blasts, like summon fire walls, or for an earth kineticest, move large clumps of earth and make difficult terrain.
Now the reason your question is hard to answer is because I want to use that "magical" ability to boost my own combat prowess and to help boost others, but give myself utility as well to solve problems.
Something like a druid that gives up a whole bunch of spells for more loose wildshape and higher BAB
I was thinking of a style somewhat between natural and ritual.
Focusing on the polymorph school. Type would probably be innate.
BAB is somewhat important, as I was planning on using the abilities for direct combat.
The magic side of things sort of being equal in power to 4th level paladin casting.
Let me try put this in pathfinder classes.
4th level spells like a paladin, only from the polymorph school and buffs that can be reflavoured to it, like bulls strength possibly.
Minor wild shape at will, with sacrificing health to add power to it a set number of times a day, that increases with level, much like the kineticist burn mechanic.
3/4 or full BAB
I suppose the closest class would be a ranger that sacrifices spells known, and bonus feats, and favored terrain, and favored enemy, to gain access to at will wildshape with limitations that can be surpassed by damaging ones self or by expending a long time on them
By health sacrifices, I mean non-heal-able non lethal damage.
You sacrifice longevity for the whole day for a nova now.
However I understand.
Perhaps something like barbarian rage. Empower, but gain status conditions after
