The wind blows eerily, creating a soft, melancholy whistle as it blows. A cold chill runs up your spine as the hairs on your neck stand up straight you look about... nothing, nothing but a cold wind blowing. You continue onwards, still hearing the cold, eerie whistle of the wind at your back.
Hello all, and welcome to a Carrion Crown AP recruitment.
Some of you may have seen my other homebrew recruitment thread, well, not long ago A friend of mine got me the Carrion Crown AP as a birthday gift. I Have never attempted to run an AP on these boards, honestly I haven't run a game on these boards I suppose. However I've run many campaigns. Most homebrew. However! My very first introduction to Pathfinder was with the Carrion Crown AP, and I have many a fond memory of it. So, as a sorts of celebratory action and recognition to that, I would like Carrion Crown to be my first Published AP game I run on these forums.
The game will start as normal, you all have will have received a letter informing you of The professors passing. How you knew him is entirely up to you! I will attempt to make this game spooky if possible, with plenty of spooky scary skeletons if need be. I would like a post rate of 1/day or more, I think I will allow around two weeks for everyone to get a character submitted, If people get their characters in fast, and no new interest is shown, I may close recruitment early.
Now, that said, heres the build works-
1st level
Point Buy: 20, on a 1 to 1 basis Ex:(an 18 costs 8 points),nothing above 18 pre-racials.
HP: Max at first. half+1 every level after.
Traits: 2, 1 campaign, 1 from whatever you wish, Drawbacks for another trait are allowed only with my approval.
Wealth: Max starting wealth, no traits that increase your wealth, save the campaign trait.
Feats: Everyone gets a free feat at level 1, you must meet the requirements for any feat you take, combat expertise will NOT have the 13 Int requirement.
3PP: No, none, sorry, wanna stick to published stuff this time around.
Races: Core+featured Fetchlings and dhamphirs are allowed.
All published Paizo material may be used, however if you are using something particularly new, or obscure, Provide a link in your characters page please.
If you wish to play an aasimar or teifling and want to roll on the table to replace your SLA, you may roll 3 times and pick one.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask.

I am intrigued. Allow me to read the player's guide...
...i have been wanting to try a caster druid...good ol' Ustalav!
Such a desperate place in need of some lawn maintenance!
dotting for interest.
Oh, would you consider using the background skills system?
ah, yes, background skills will be used.
Cool thanks.
thinking of doing a witch. Seems flavourful for the campaign.
Alias for the teifling, making her as I post.
And just because I feel like
Eh... not inspired. Will come up with my own flavor,.And out of the abilites... eh... Thinking.

The point buy I was a little unfamilar with, I dont usually see people doing 1 for 1 so I may have botched that but I think I got what you were going for. After a lot of debate between a Kinslayer Inquisitor of Pharasma and an Alchemical researcher I chose the Alchemist. I think it could be fun to play in the setting, someone with a little more intellectual curiosity than common sense when it comes to protecting himself from the dangers of a strange and horror filled landscape. Kinslayer Dhamphir would have been very different but possibly too strange in the setting. Especially paired against potentially multiple Tieflings.
Background: So the basic story for my Alchemist is going to be that he met the Professor at a University and despite sharing interest in a number of subjects what caught his attention was the Professor's views on theology and religion, in particular the way that undead fit into the worlds of both religious and arcane study. Although Anton's personal interests still tend more towards the arcane and scientific he has made something of a hobby out of theological and religious research. So when he received word that the Professor had passed away he was probably sad and a little surprised to possibly be included in the man's last will and testament. But he'd also see it as an interesting opportunity to travel somewhere he has never been before and potentially visit the scientific and arcane institutions of Ustalav.

I'd like to submit this character, though will have to update him a bit; he was selected for a CC game a few years back, but it fell apart during the GM's pre-AP intro adventure and I've missed playing him.
So, I just desided to take the standard alternative traits, and the hellspawn abilities.
This is Dorian's work-in-progress...

Dhampir and Fetchling are featured races. What about Changelings?
I'd like to second this question. =)
Sure, changeling will be allowed.
so just to clarify as a human I start with three feats? Since you said we get a free feat, I assume that was "an extra free feat"?
Dotting Interest
@andygal, that is correct
dot for interest
Interest dot. Might write up a gunslinger...
GAWD I AM SO INTERESTED! :D
A submission for your consideration. Petyr, the Wandering Friar - cleric of Cayden Cailean.
Edit: I should mention that I have played Carrion Crown before, from start to "finish." However, that was years ago, and the GM of that game was so inexperienced that he had no grasp on the story or mechanics, and hence the game made very little sense and I barely remember the story at all.
I am thinking changing race to 1/2 orc. It feels right...

Elias Shrin is a magus who served as a bodyguard for a fledgling necromancer. The Necromancer suffered a sudden and horrific death during an experiment gone wrong. His attempts to create an advanced zombie ended in him being torn limb from limb. Elias tried to attack the zombie but his weapons bounced off its resistant hide. Finally in a fit of desperation Elias reached deep inside himself and drew out arcane energy he didn’t know he had. His axe glowed with blue light as he destroyed the zombie.
After contacting some of his former master’s associates, he came in contact with the professor who helped him to tap into his arcane power. After learning a few cantrips he left to explore on his own and hone both blade and spell

Ioana was born in a caravan roaming southern Varisa near Magnimar. When she was fourteen she bonded with her familiar, and a year later she traveled to the Twilight Academy in Galduria, where she spent several years studying the arcane arts.. During this time, she was lucky enough to be able to attend a few of Professor Lorrimor's lectures when the professor visited the academy, and was highly impressed with his depth and breadth of knowledge which inspired her to study several topics on her own.
Personality:
Ioana is a passionate person. Most of the time her passion shows in a zest for life but it can also show in flashes of temper, and occasional bouts of depression. She has a quick wit and enjoys banter. Her passion sometimes leads her to get into trouble, though her familiar helps to reign her in, being much more cautious by nature. She usually appreciates this after the fact, even if it frustrates her in the heat of the moment.
I believe that he is done to your specs...

Nostro Shudderwood has known hardship all his life. He was found as a young boy in the depths of the Shudderwood, his namesake, by the church of Iomedae. As a tiefling, he was almost put to death for his crime of living, but fortunately one of their leaders decided to take him in. This began a long and arduous stay as an acolyte of the Temple of Iomedae.
While he was pure of faith, Nostro faced never-ending torment form his peers for what he was. Most of his elders made sure to give him the most grueling tasks under miserable conditions. As he grew older, he too began to believe that his life was a sin and he worked tirelessly to atone for it.
When he finally became a fully fledged Paladin of the faith, Nostro was to be deployed to the depths of the Worldwound. During his last day, however, he chanced upon a man beset by a small troupe of ghouls. Leaping into action, Nostro fended them off with his holy power and made his first friend: Professor Lorrimor.
Professor Lorrimor used his influence to have Nostro given a more appropriate assignment, where he has been serving for the past couple of years.
Edit: If a Paladin makes party comp difficult, I'd be willing to change things up.
the only restrictions are, and I am sorry for forgetting to list this before,
1- if it has unchained, use the unchained version please. I will not be accepting submissions based on large amount of summoning, the most I will allow is one animal companion/mount equivalent and 1 summoned creature at any time.
-2 No alignment restrictions, if you are Evil, tell me why you are friends with the late professor, and why you wouldn't be working with the more.... ghastly forces.
3- You can play any age you want with a few caveats-
3a. It must make sense to an exctint, no ages below 10, unless you have a very good reason (PM the idea).
3b. Certain classes will likely be purely restricted, use the rule of Suspension of Disbelief, here. No little girls wielding giant Greataxes and smashing people ;)
3c.... If it the story fits, Then I shall take the hit.
no ability score modifiers.
@Gummy, please send me your general idea and view on a paladin and what a paladin is. Specifically, the ideals yours fallows and any code he/she follows.
Here is my submission: Lubella Heathertoes, a Halfling Dawnflower Dervish Bard. She considers hereself an agent of Sarenrae.
-Lubella will associate with evil creatures if the greater good is served, or if she feels that they could be redeemed.
-Violence is a last resort; diplomacy is her preferred option.
Lubella disliked the rules and structure of her training, and began getting into trouble. After a series of “Incidents” a transfer was arranged to the Temple of Sarenrae in Korvosa (sending the problem to someone else).
Soom after her arrival, on a dare, Lubella broke into the Jeggare Library at the University of Korvaso one night, with a couple of new friends. They were discovered by a academic working late, who turned out to be none other than the renowned scholar, Petros Lorrimor. Given her record, Lubella feared she would be suspended at the temple, or worse. Luckily, Professor Lorrimor took a liking to her, and did not report the intrusion, on the condition that he could call on her for a favor in the future.
Lubella dreaded what she might be asked to do to repay her debt, yet she never heard from Prof Lorrimor again. Recently, however, she received news that he had died, and that she was named in his will! She has just arrived in Ravengro, apprehensive about what he might possibly want from her.
Combat Role: Melee fighter (moderate damage, strong defenses). Lubella seeks to fight the most dangerous opponent, despite her diminutive stature. She has minor healing abilities (cure light wounds).
Note: Her bardic Inspire Courage bonuses only aply to herself.
Oh, hey. Just found an older concept I'd been kicking around.
Would a Suli be allowed?
@GM will there be opportunity to retrain at some point?
I am having a difficult time deciding on a feat.
I never played a caster druid, so not sure which route to take him...
I am almost to the point that I may make him into an aerokineticist to be what I want him to do and be...
Thank Yee, Sir.

Victor took the lesson to heart and combined with his strong faith in the Inheritor he now pursues his lifes work, to destroy the undead in all their many forms and prevent anyone from ever gaining the same power that the Whispering Tyrant weilded.
Currently Victor has been ordained as a paladin of Iomedae and hopes one day to be able to join the ranks of the Knights of Ozem.
The paladins of Iomedae are just and strong, crusaders who live for the joy of righteous battle. Their mission is to right wrongs and eliminate evil at its root. They serve as examples to others, and their code demands they protect the weak and innocent by eliminating sources of oppression, rather than merely the symptoms. They may back down or withdraw from a fight if they are overmatched, but if their lives will buy time for others to escape, they must give them. Their tenets include the following affirmations.
I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.
I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her strength through my body. I will shine in her legion, and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.
I am the first into battle, and the last to leave it.
I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not surrender those under my command.
I will never abandon a companion, though I will honor sacrifice freely given.
I will guard the honor of my fellows, both in thought and deed, and I will have faith in them.
When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender, but
I am responsible for their lives.
I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give honor to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest.
I will suffer death before dishonor.
I will be temperate in my actions and moderate in my behavior. I will strive to emulate Iomedae’s perfection.
@arkhan, I have always been iffy on allowing retraining unless it comes as a class feature, however you are accepted and we get to a point where you decidedly hate and or feel inadequate due to chosen feats I am positive we can work something out.
and personally I love the kineticist class.
@Odentin, sure throw me your idea for it.
Thanks. Just not sure of weapon finesse...
I haven't actually played a Kineticist, although I have drawn a pyro and a geo for recruitments, but they didn't get chosen.
I see him as a Storm Druid, but I really want his thing to be lightning, air, clouds....maybe i shall research Aero.
We have time...lol.
Sorry, been busy and haven't had time to work on this, in my experience, a kinetisist is a magic cannon. They blow DPS out like none other, however they risk knocking themselves out.
A good D&D example is the warlock.
@thelizardwizard: PM sent
It looks fine. Go ahead with it.
thoughts on where I would go with my character, build wise: She's intended to be primarily support/buffer character, as I suspect this is an undead heavy campaign so a lot of the witch's offensive powers will be less useful. The selection of the Ancestors patron reflects this as it has lots of good buff spells.
I'd like to submit Windle Thetra, with the caveat that this profile has been used before in a couple of games, including a Carrion Crown game that fell apart before we got very far into Part 1--he's updated but for equipment and some spells. He's a human psychic; discipline: faith; devout follower of Pharasma.
Normally psychics don't get disrupt undead as a knack, but since he's a faith-based psychic and worshiper of Pharasma would you let him do that?
Over the next few years, he took to the study of psychic magic with shocking ease, and quickly moved on to a more prestigious guild. His lack of early exposure to the style of magic kept him from being among their best students, but he was far from their worst. He corresponded with Professor Lorrimor as often as he could, keeping him informed of his progress and sending along translations of Vudrani scholarly works. In return Lorrimor encouraged him to press on, that Ustalav would be there when he returned, and that he shouldn't come back until it was time.
It had been several months since Lorrimor's last letter when the news of the Professor's death reached Windle. He hurriedly gave his farewells to his teachers and fellow students, packed up, and returned to Avistan as quickly as he was able. His intent was to pay his respects to his old mentor, then make his way back to Vudra for further study. This will, of course, not happen as he'd planned....
In appearance he's tall, slender, and clean-shaven, typically wearing black trimmed with silver and carrying a worn wooden spiral of Pharasma to show his devotion.
Windle draws on that devotion to power his psychic magic. He's much more benevolent than most, though--the Goddess' justice after death is unbending, but in this life there's room for mercy. Although he no longer stutters, he still doesn't talk much; his taciturnity would easily be mistaken for surliness but for his habitual smile. For in his discipline he's found purpose that was lacking before, and a way to serve the Goddess he follows. In this he is content.
As to why the Professor would drag him off to Jalmeray, Lorrimor was interested in psychic magic, as he was interested in a great many other things. He could have learned a great deal *about* it by studying the history of the art and speaking to its practitioners, and that was in fact his original intent when he planned to travel to Jalmeray. Finding someone like Windle, though, offered him a different perspective: by essentially sponsoring Windle's education, he could learn from Windle what it was like to actually become a psychic from the beginning of the young man's studies. Because he and Windle were both from Ustalav and shared a common culture, it would be the next best thing to learning the art of psychic magic himself.

I don't think I missed anyone.
Full disclosure, I've GM'd Carrion Crown before. The Haunting of Harrowstone is a great time (I believe it actually won an award) and would be fun to play. But I bring this up beforehand so that if you don't want any players who know what's coming, that's cool.
