Folks
I'm looking to run the Ironfang Invasion AP and we'll get started with AP# 115 Trail of the Hunted. I know there were a lot of folks that didnt get in the last call and I'm happy to take a table and run on this as it's been on my list to play. I'll have room for five (5) folks, as I've got one slot reserved.
I'll keep the recruitment open until Monday 9:00AM EST and then I'll randomize amongst folks that want in for the spots. If folks start off slowly or linger, etc., then we'll look to get them out and new folks in as we want a good group to go the distance as far as practical.
The official blurb:
The Ironfang Invasion Adventure Path launches with "Trail of the Hunted," a tale of desperate survival set against the invasion of a ruthless hobgoblin army—the Ironfang Legion! As the Ironfang Legion begins carving out an empire of monsters, the heroes must flee their hometown of Phaendar as it burns, saving any lives they can. The heroes guard their band of survivors in the wilderness, challenge a troglodyte tribe for safe haven, and face the brutal bounty hunters dispatched to end their flight to freedom!
I generally try to post morning and evening, but work sometimes interferes and I'll have a little gap of a day or so. I'm slow and steady and understand that this will be a long time endeavor and will look forward to your creativity and enthusiasm. My expectation would be once a day and then once on a weekend for posting, understanding that everyone has challenges and gaps. We're in it for fun and I'm generally pretty low key.
I'm relatively new to pbp GMing, but have been behind the screen a long long time. Entering my 30+ year in RPG. Also run a weekly VTT and we're just finishing the Hell's Rebels AP. I'm located in US, EST.
Starting Level: PCs will start at 1st level.
Alignment: Any Non-Evil.
Ability Scores: 20 point buy.
HP: Max HP rolls at 1st and 2nd level, rolling after that.
Traits: 2 traits.
Base Starting Money: 150 gp
Races: All races from Paizo products.
Classes: All classes from Paizo products.
Thank you and looking forward to the Adventures!
Posting to be included for consideration, might change archetypes and a few other things.
... for interest.
I’m interested. Will have a character up soon.
I generally do not use the optional systems, so no on the background skills.
I heartily encourage from the Ironfang Invasion Player's Guide and the traits contained within.
Submitting this guy. For the record, he’s built as an archer but I’m not married to the style. I can do switch hitter or sword and shield, whatever the party needs. Would just need to change my feats and move ability points around.
I try to post twice a day but I travel for work so the times I post are all over the place.
Well, I would like to have this Feral Hunter considered.
A couple of changes will be required to adapt to your build rules, but I think I can accommodate those.
Was checking the boards before I force myself to go run some errands, though, so the adaptation won't start for a few hours.
Edit:
Quick scan says the adaptation won't take very long, though. Basically, drop the 2 background skills and adjust the equipment list. A little more money to spend and won't need the artisan tools . . ..
Updated my background to the following, and switched around some things (archetypes, removing background skills, etc).
Crystalblight could not support the gnomes, and they were forced to relocate again, traveling along the edge of the forest, splitting up into small groups, with some groups refusing to leave the forest. Grenwold and his family were forced to fight their way past tribes of kobolds, goblins, and other creatures that saw the gnomes as easy marks, but his family avoided significant casualties. Grenwold even befriended a small elk with enormous horns that he found, orphaned after the elk's mother was killed by goblins.
The elk had a unique coat of spots that never faded as it grew up, and Grenwold named him Ringo. Ringo is a loyal and friendly elk that carries Gren from place to place and appreciates sweets whenever he can get them.
The remains of Grenwold's immediate family made their way to Phaendar and settled in town, which was more than happy to take the crafty gnomes into their care. The gnomes ingratiated themselves and sought work as stonemasons and machinists, but Grenwold was drawn to the life of a woodsman and realized his knack with animals would be invaluable in that profession. He especially admired the Chernasardo Rangers for their canny tactics and cunning. He aspires to join their ranks, but is a novice in their ways and knows that gnomes are atypical wardens. He has trained with Aubrin in town to this end.
Grenwold is a gnome of medium height, with extremely pale skin, dark green/black hair, black eyes, and delicate features. He carries on his face a few scars from his escape and practices obsessive cleanliness, as a consequence of his experiences in the Fangwood. He typically wears durable mottled green and black clothing, with a mottled green bandana around his head. Ringo carries much of his gear, though Grenwold tries to be as self-sufficient as possible.
Grenwold's family were stonemasons and stoneworkers, and were devoted to the Empyreal lord Soralyon instead of a gnomish deity or one of the Eldest, which Grenwold has continued to worship. Grenwold especially dislikes how the Darkblight has corrupted and destroyed Fangwood, and hopes that through his devotion and protection of others, he can eventually investigate and clean out the corruption (though he would admit that he does not even know where to start).
Grenwold is slightly dour, after all the difficulties he’s had, though he is helpful and kind, though he seems cold – he is as friendly as much as he can be. He seems to have tapped into some of the innate magic of the bleachlings, and after having so many difficult experiences, it appears that he has succumbed to the effects – strengthening his bond with nature while cutting him off from most emotions. He appreciates the company of dwarves and halflings, as well as any outcasts from their homes, and believes in protecting those weaker than him.
The plan would be to become a Chernasando Warden after about level 8, or so, though that isn't set in stone.
Would you be ok with a gunslinger? I also had a thought about one of those.
Yes, I’ve GM’d with players as them and enjoy it. Just a reminder about resources in this AP and scarcity.

Description Orimmath is a 74 year old mountain dwarf. He is tall for a dwarf, standing at 4’7” and massing just over 205 lbs. He wears his dark brown hair drawn back and tied at the nape of his neck, and his wiry beard closely brushed and oiled. He wears dark grey and black travel leathers, with a heavy woolen cloak that was once green over his shoulders. When adventuring, he dons scale mail of finely polished steel over thick leather, with a round helm on his head. He carries a wide bladed beared waraxe on his right hip, next to a steel morningstar, and several sharpened rings of steel known as throwing chakrams. Opposite, he wears a well-worn straight-bladed dagger while holding his dented and scarred round wooden shield, painted blue and bearing the hammer and anvil icon of Torag.
Backstory: Orimmath has always tried to serve his community, working as a scout and woodsman for his dwarven clan before they moved a group into the local Nirmathi communities. As his clan expanded and grew out into the human-run lands, working as smiths, merchants, and other craftspeople, Orimmath still felt the urge to wander farther afield. He uses his skills in woodscraft and what he learned fighting in the Winter War to make his way now, hunting when he needs to, and working as a guard, guide, and woodsman as the community requires.
GM, would you be okay with a Ghoran PC? I've always wanted to play one and, with this AP being very forest related, this seems like a great opportunity.
I took a read through it, interesting. Yes I can support.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.
At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapons.
Role: Mostly a melee/ranged magic type, comfortable with attacking up close and flinging spells/arrows from afar. Magic will be focused on ranged spells and buffs to self and/or others.
Background:
That happiness was short-lived in an ambush by the Ironfang Legion. He was part of a very few list of people who survived, but none of his friends did. Some say that moment changed him forever, causing him to never truly strive for his full potential. To Paul, this was prefered; he would rather embrace hedonism to keep himself happy. He has since settled in town to make the most of his life.
Appearance
Personality:
Loves a good drink as well as crack jokes even in the heat of battle. Despite his intelligence, he prefers to feign ignorance, leaving foes in a false sense of confidence against him and a disregard against him as a slacker. He most certainly associates with Calistria, though he hardly embraces the revenge part of the religion, even considering his past. That is the one thing that can bring down his mood, so he deflects from talking about his previous service as much as possible.
I will throw my hat in the ring. I have a black blade Magus I would like to play. I can have crunch later today.

Please consider Aemin Whitespark to join this AP.
Full mechanics, description, personality and backstory can be found in the profile tab.
Party role: Primarily looking to fill the role of healing and support with a heavy focus on crafting (Craft Wondrous Items & Craft Magic Arms and Armor @ 3rd lvl). Given limited resources, I think this could be very beneficial. Depending on the other party members selected, I would love to see this character blossom into a Mystic Theurge to provide even more vesatility. However, I'm willing to adapt as needed if chosen.
Thanks!
Changes made. Barhador's a little easier to hit now, actually, but his arrows are all durable, so he can recover any that he can find, they don't inherently break in a target.

Thicket no longer remembers its long past. From its creation by Ghorus, through its travel to Fangwood forest, up until the attack by the Ironfang Legion. It just remembers waking up in the Fangwood and living there. It tends to the trees and stays a little away from town.
Submitting a human cavalier on a horse.
Hoping that high damage output helps move combats along quickly so we can sustain momentum in the early days of the campaign.
I should note that I am currently playing this AP at another table, but it is such an unusual experiment (all fighters) that I think it would also be enjoyable to play with a more mixed group, and I would keep player knowledge separate.
** spoiler omitted **

Is Thicket just a smaller Forest, or is Forest just a larger Thicket?
Would you be open to any 3pp classes? Particularly, the
If not, would you be open to a minor tweaking of the drake companion? I really enjoy the idea behind drake companions, but they are exceptionally weak, especially considering the monstrous mount feat is in the game.
I'm going to stick with the Paizo races and classes I think for this one.

I had a hard time trying to decide between a (with permission) tree singer druid, plant master hunter, or wood kineticist. The previous two would have a sapling treant companion.
Here is my submission, I just couldn't get a character together with the drake companion that wasn't severely gimped and more than a bit weak.
Arrack here, is a quiet, brooding man. He can be vocal after drinks, or when roused, but normally is content to let his blade talk for him. That said, the reason for his cold exterior is the fact he has always been... less than welcome. He has never felt like he belonged anywhere and has put up with a lot of b$@+@!*~ from the world so far which has lead to him having little patience for self pitying folk. ATM he is a mercenary, and a rather gruff, and angry one at that. But I hope to see him grow into a decent leader and to slowly grow more attached/caring of the refugees as time goes along. This may not come to pass considering how things play out, but that's the intention. He would still be a fairly hard ass bloke that seems to not care/show little empathy. He would certainly have a soft spot for any kids, particularly orphans. Though the kids might not see it that way haha. He is a bit.. handsy with women as well, that too will probably be changed as he progresses. Hopefully. To tell the truth, One of his desires is to find a place where he feels like he belongs, a family, or, in his terms, though its doubtful he would ever say it himself, a "tribe" of his own.
will likely be a barbarian, either invulnerable rager going for stalwart/imp. stalwart or maybe armored hulk or urban barbarian. Also highly considering chernasado warden as well.
Whichever one, he is designed as a frontline warrior and tank. Deadly, and hard to kill. (will likely have endurance/diehard at some point, even if I go for AC focused build with armored hulk)
I will throw a full caster druid into the ring. Mechanically, designed to act as a controller and provide skill support to the group. I hope I will have time to flush out a backstory If not I would encourage a look at my posting history to demonstrate that the character will come in the game with the back story, rp and mechanics to support the group.
(Re)submitting this character. Thanks for picking this up.
I'm going to float two questions from the last Ironfang recruitment: how do you feel about Shifters taking and benefiting from the Shaping Focus feat? Alternatively, would you allow a Shifter / Druid multiclass character to advance the Shifter wild shape ability with Shaping Focus?
I'm interested in this. Thinking of going with a Green Faith Marshal [Inquisitor Archetype] with the Eagle Domain. Will try to get something up by end of today.
Oread Monk for your consideration
Theran Jackmead, Dwarven Scholar (bard archetype) throws his hat in the ring.
A former sergeant in Kraggodan’s City Watch, Theran’s interest in dwarven lore, inside and out of the Sky Citadel, lead him to the Dwarven Scholar path. He was outside Kraggodan when the Molthuni siege began, so he has been investigating ruins of dwarven settlements from early after the end of the Quest for Sky, as well as visiting various dwarven communities throughout the Hollow Hills, trading stories for a roof and a meal. He’s come to Phaendar for more of the same, figuring market festivals are a good place for a bard to earn his keep and learn something of the world at the same time.
Theran has the personality of a good-hearted drill sergeant. Despite his bardic ways now, he can’t entirely shake his military background.
Theran’s archetype lets him share combat feats with allies – seemed like a nice flavor fit for a military style campaign. Would need to see what the group looks like before figuring out how to make those feat choices good for as many as possible. As a bard, he brings some decent knowledges and spell utility as well. Should be good “5th man” in a 6 person party.

(Replaces defensive training).

- Stonecunning +2 bonus to Perception vs. unusual stonework. Free check within 10 feet.
A dwarven scholar researches the lineage of the kings of the old dwarven empires and learns their ancient tactics. She keeps these ancient traditions alive by sharing them with her allies.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A dwarven scholar is proficient with one weapon of her choosing with the word “dwarven” in its name, in addition to her normal weapon proficiencies. She is not proficient with shields. This alters the bard’s weapon and armor proficiency.
Studied Insight (Ex): A dwarven scholar uses her Wisdom modifier instead of her Charisma modifier to determine all class features and effects relating to her bard class, including her bardic performance ability, bonus spells per day, the maximum spell level she can cast, and the save DCs of her spells.
Dwarven Training (Ex): At 2nd level, a dwarven scholar masters one aspect of dwarven combat and gains a bonus combat feat. She must meet the prerequisites for this feat, but she treats her bard level as her base attack bonus (in addition to base attack bonuses gained from other classes and racial Hit Dice) for the purpose of qualifying for this feat. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, she gains another bonus combat feat. This replaces versatile performance.
Bardic Performance: A dwarven scholar gains the following type of bardic performance.
War Chant (Su): At 1st level, a dwarven scholar can use her performance to inspire the martial prowess of the ancient dwarves in her allies. The dwarven scholar selects a single combat feat she knows. Allies affected by this performance gain the benefit of this feat for as long as the performance is maintained. To be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the dwarven scholar’s performance. If a combat feat has a daily use limitation (such as Stunning Fist), any uses of that combat feat by the dwarven scholar’s allies while using this ability counts toward the dwarven scholar’s feat’s daily limit. At 6th level, the dwarven scholar may grant the benefit of two combat feats at the same time. She may use one of these feats to meet a prerequisite of the second feat. Maintaining two feats in this way requires spending 2 rounds of bardic performance every round. This replaces inspire courage and suggestion.

jwert, how by-the-book do you usually run animal companions/mounts with regards to player control, Handle Animal checks, etc.?
I'm planning on re-submitting my sylvan sorcerer from the other recruitment Isaura Prives (mount), but I'd like to have an answer on that first.
|
I would like to submit Rae Tikkase, Varisian Ice Alchemist and barmaid for consideration. For the most part she fills a support role with combat focusing on bombs and other splash weapons. She can use potions to buff others (via vaporous potion) and can serve as a decent secondary healer. The plan is to eventually take levels in the Brewkeeper Prestige Class.
As for posting, I try to post once a day though occasionally work does make that more difficult. I try to at least let people know if I will be out of communication when it happens.
Thank you.
This is Ouachitonian's submission. Liam is an alchemist who travels the local area purveying various remedies and other alchemical goods, and quietly using that revenue to fund his experiments on the nature of biology, specifically shapeshifting. As a skinwalker, he has some native shapeshifting ability, but is trying to use alchemy to enhance it (like, say, the Feral Mutagen I'll take next level, or maybe the tail or wings discoveries later on).
He'll be essentially a jack-of-all-trades, maybe not the best at anything, but able to fill in wherever a party needs. He'll be primarily natural attack focused in combat, which will make up for his low BAB. He has Sneak Attack and Disable Device trained, and can therefore fill in for a Rogue. With the proper Discovery, he'll be able to pass out Cure infusions, and can also craft Cure potions, so he can act as a secondary healer. He has a fair number of well-distributed skill points. If you need it, he can do it. Given a level or two to steer him that direction, anyway. I definitely do plan to take feats and discoveries that further the shapeshifting theme, as referenced above. At high level, he'll be a bit of a chimera, with wings, a tail, claws, hooves...what the heck was this creature to begin with? I might also go into the Master Chymist prestige class, but that's a long time coming. Plenty of time to decide.
It's me CoreBrute with my character Bollum Flax:
[SIZE=+1]Bollum Flax[/SIZE]
Male True Neutral Half-Orc Inquisitor [GFM/Sacred Huntsmaster], Level 1, Init 4, HP 9/9, Speed
AC 16, Touch 14, Flat-footed 12, CMD 16, Fort 3, Ref 4, Will 4, CMB +2, Base Attack Bonus 0
Longbow +4/+5 (1d8/+1, x3)
Greataxe +2 (1d12+2, x3)
Leather Armor (+2 Armor, +4 Dex)
Abilities Str 14, Dex 18, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 8
Condition None
So he's a Half-Orc Inquisitor Green Faith Sacred Huntsmaster. He was a bandit in the nearby area, getting in with bad crowds, working for bad people, it was a living. One time he was actually doing some robbery work for a group of Hobgoblins, just a clan he thought, but it turned out to be part of the IronFang Legion. They killed the rest of his bandit group and nearly killed him.
He was found by an old Orc Druid who saw potential in Bollum, and nursed his wounds. He taught him about the Green Faith which he followed, and tried to get him to leave his Bandit ways behind to become a Druid of peace.
However the old Orc died, killed by an Iron Fang scouting patrol who were destroying trees for their war effort. Bollum now swears revenge on these Goblins, and only has his old bandit bow, a poor understanding of the Green Faith that now empowers him, and the Druid's two animal companions a Falcon named Crytex and a Wolf named Romulon.
This build is very much an archer build, high perception, built to try and understand the enemy goblins so they can kill them better. He's slowly learning what is actually possible with his magic, but it's not his go to.
Folks
Ok that's the cutoff. I'll go through these after work and post up tonight the successful five characters and then look to get started
Thank you all for great submissions.
This is MrStr4ng3's magus, Hoping that I can still get into the lottery
I know you just cut off submissions, but if you would allow one late one as I just saw your post. This was my submission from the other post and I would like to resubmit it here.
Just and FYI. I did add a backstory to the character sheet for the gnome druid who goes about trying to make the fang wood a little better each day.
Folks
Thank you for the tremendously interesting characters. Looking forward to the run. The following folks should report to discussion and dot in gameplay.

If we run short or I have other things open up, I’ll drop a line. Thanks again and recruitment’s closed.
Thanks gm. See you over in the other thread.
Thank you for the opportunity. I have been looking to get to play this AP since it came out. I'll finish up and finalize my build over the next day.
