Current date: The 4th day of Neth 4714 AR.
Once again the late autumn winds blow with the forecast of another cold winter for the small town of Kessen. One hundred and seventy-eight years have passed since the first lighting ceremony of a lantern in memory of the town’s founder, Ekat Kessen. A small group of young, skilled townsfolk are called upon to journey to the Crypt of the Everflame. Once there, they need to light a lantern from the eternal flame located within its depths.
The day before your journey, Mayor Orfal, an elder dwarf summons a meeting with each member of the group, thanking you for your sacrifice to carry out this year’s ceremony and how much it means to the town. He says he will see you when the midday bell rings atop the Temple of Erastil. With that he tells you to get well rested for the journey is quite a trek from town.
This campaign only starts here, and will eventually grow into something much larger!

- Core races and classes to start only please.

- New players are most welcome!
- I will eventually incorporate some Ultimate Campaign rules later on, so think about a craft or profession to make $ on the side.
What about archetypes and other stuff that modifies the core classes?
Those are ok to use.
how do you feel about the -glory rogue? I can link it if you would like. (gives rogues a guile pool, and a small extra bonus) other words just helps them out a bit, otherwise I would like to play either a monk or a swashbuckler.
If I go with a druid, can I have a Pilo? It is an alien animal that resembles a giant porcupine.
PS, I am definitely thinking divine caster.
I would be interested in playing. Is it alright if I have played through the module before?

not an issue, as I intend to make some changes since it's an older mod.

rather stick with normal animals if you don't mind :)

I looked the Glory Rogue over and it doesn't seem to be an out of control option to play, so I will approve it.
What are your thoughts on Feral Shifter? It is a druid archetype from ACG.

Golden, I am going to commit to druid, so if you could please send me the intro packet on them please.

Rogue's Finesse is okay
How settled should we be to the city? Will it be our HQ?
It will be to start with, but it will depend on future group decisions where you go. You will be doing a lot of traveling to the surrounding lands
The characters need not worry about purchasing a backpack, food, water or light sources.
Thinking a wanderer. Your generic friendly rogu . Again that or a monk. I haven't decided for sure, but the back story will be similar for both.
I've never really liked the monk class.
I'm interested in playing a sorcerer. Could you send me the intro packet?
I love the monk and it's concept. But it would be the martial artist class. A more "realistic" monk. No ki lol
I am interested in doing a Barbarian, most likely a titan mauler or elemental kin
I'm interested in playing a sorcerer. Could you send me the intro packet?
ill send it to you when I get home later.
I just think it's something of a mentality thing with me and monks. I think they best fit into the martial arts type campaign. A monks taking down a dragon with a punch, just does seem feasible in my mind.

I put it in the same area as a guy with a sword and shield taking one down. dragon's breath is described as napalm like.. :P
Are there any plans to go mythic? I am just curious.

I have the PDF, but havent had a chance to read it at all.
in my experience mythic helps the monk/rogue/caster classes the most. Paladins also get nice bonuses but pure martial combat characters are eh.
trickster path REALLY helps rogues haha.
Interested. How do you feel about the Nirmathi irregular (aka Woodland Skirmisher) ranger archetype?
I'd also like the mentor backgrounds. I'm thinking a ranger, or maybe arcane caster.
I am posting now to make it easier for me to work on.
I just realized I never posted how many PCs I was gonna need for this. The magic number is 4!
Tuesday at 12 PM EST will be the cutoff time for character creation submissions.

--------------------
hard to kill When you are attempting a Constitution check to stabilize when dying, the penalty on the check is only half your negative hit point total instead of your full negative hit point total.
Iron control You learned the hard way that expressing the rage you inherited from your orc blood exacerbates humans' fearful and hostile reactions to you; after years of effort, you've mastered self- control and buried your anger deep. Whenever you're confused and roll to determine behavior in a given round, subtract 10 from the result.
Braggar named the half-orc boy Khadon. When people asked about the name, Braggar invariably replied "What's wrong with it? It's a good Dwarven name." Braggar hired one of the village matrons to care for the boy for the first few years. When he was old enough Khadon move to live with Braggar in his smithy.
Braggar and Khadon made an odd pair the half-orc boy and the stern dwarf. Their relationship was tumultous, and grew evenmore so when Khadon became a teenager. Braggar and Khadon fought constantly. The sound of them bellowing at each other could often be heard over the ringing of hammers on metal. They often came to blows and more than once the town watch was called to break them up. Even though they fought constantly they never did each other any lasting harm. Braggar spent as much time sporting black eyes and bruises as Khadon did.
The one thing that Braggar and Khadon didn't fight about was smithing. Khadon eagerly absorbed everything Braggar had to teach him, and Braggar taught Khadon as quickly as the boy could learn. Khadon is not a talented smith and Braggar judges it will be at least another two or three years before he is ready to be a journeyman smith.
Interest!

2. Craft arms and armor is 1 skill, no need for two. Its just Arms and Armor.
cool
Jacob here.
I decided to go with a wizard. Full backstory and gear selection coming up.
Considering basic gear will be provided, I may be done with equipment.
EDIT: I think I am completely done now.
27 hrs till character submission time is over.
do you want me to make an alias before or after selections?
You can wait for the selection process. I am considering 5 for this campaign. I've been doing some thinking about it.
Does anyone need the mentor pkg sent to them for their background story?
