Alright, then... I may end up playing a slayer. I love slayers. I'm also considering a brawler or investigator, very different I know, but still. Strongly considering a skinwalker, as they're pretty cool. A brawler or slayer would likely be a Coldborn (maybe Ragebred), an investigator would probably go Fanglord. I'll have to think on it.
This is Vrog's Character being submitted for approval. will post with his backstory a bit later on.
I have come to the conclusion that I am extremely lacking in good sense, considering I'm still trying to find a way to make a ghost character that a GM would accept. XD
I'll probably work on some secondary (and rather more acceptable) ideas soon, though. ^^
Well, I can always try posting her. XD If nothing else, I'm confident of my ability to roleplay her in a reasonably interesting way.
Here is the crunch and start of the history of Gnal, a human ranger.
I have had a real rough couple of days and am going to bed early. I'll post more in the morning.

SPECIALABILITIES
Bonus Feat Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
Favored Enemy (Humanoid (Human)) (Ex) You gain a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks when using these skills against humans. Likewise, you get a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against such creatures. You may make Knowledge Skill checks untrained to identify such creatures.
Humanoid Traits (Ex) Humanoids breathe, eat, and sleep.
Pioneer (Perception) You have long lived along the southern border of Brevoy, in the shadow of wilderness known as the Stolen Lands. Life has been hard, but through hunting, trapping, trading, and coaxing crops from the freezing earth, you've learned how to survive on the rugged frontier. With the wilderness ever at your door, you've also learned much about its denizens and the wild creatures that lurk in that unwholesome land. Your family might even claim holdings in the Stolen Lands, with elders telling stories of being driven from or robbed of a lost ancestral homestead, fertile farmlands, bountiful orchards, or a hidden mining claim. Whether because of your personal expertise and familiarity with the borderlands or in order to reclaim your family's land, you've joined the expedition into the Stolen Lands. You begin play with a horse.
Skilled Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.
Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks.
Vagabond Child (urban) (Disable Device) You grew up among the outcasts and outlaws of your society, learning to forage and survive in an urban environment. Select one of the following skills - Disable Device, Escape Artist, or Sleight of Hand. You gain a +1 trait bonus on that skill, and it is always a class skill for you.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Wild Empathy (Ex) You can improve the attitude of an animal. This abilty functions just like Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. You roll 1d20+1 to determine the Wild Empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use Wild Empathy, you and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal circumstances. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. You can use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but you take a -4 penalty on the check.

Well, there is a "Spymaster" position, and if the Kingdom decided to keep quiet about who exactly was fulfilling that role other than acknowledging that it was (because spies should be largely unknown)...

--------------------
What does it take to truly make a King? In a land where many are competing for thrones and land, that can be a difficult question to answer... and all too frequently, it's easy for the victims to be forgotten by history. That almost happened to Micah... but unlike most, she really wasn't ready to simply accept her death. More than being killed, what she really wanted to see was a nation built up the way it should have been, with good and caring rulers upon the throne.
After all, for her, this was a little more relevant than most. She was an illegitimate daughter of one of the greater noble families, sired by a father who'd been having just a bit too much fun. Of course, bloodline politics were always fairly awkward, and she'd always been a surprisingly charismatic young girl. Her father had poor self-control anyway, and when he saw the attractive daughter, he gave in and took her mother in as a mistress. Micah was raised well, doing rather well in her studies, pleasing her teachers, and generally emerging as an example of what nobility should be. Unfortunately, there were those who would really have preferred that she not distract others...
Micah's death was as brutal as anyone could have come up with, and she doesn't enjoy talking about it. Or thinking about it. Or even acknowledging that it happened, really. More than that, however, it was after returning from the dead that Micah got a gift from the gods: she became an Oracle, and in light of her desire to finish her business in the world, it soon became evident that her Mystery was Time.
With death no longer being an issue, Micah quickly took to haunting the kingdom, using her growing magical powers to help guide things in the right direction. Attempts to exorcise her didn't really work, since she simply came back to keep haunting the place - but the nobility eventually realized that she wasn't too interested in troubling them as long as they didn't abuse their authority.
More recently, however, Micah has taken to haunting a certain group of people who are just about ready to start their own kingdom under the guidance of Brevoy...
-----------------------------
Special Traits:
As a ghost, Micah uses her Dexterity instead of her Strength to determine carrying capacity - and can hold quite a lot of items within her body, oftentimes more than it seems like could possibly fit. Though this isn't a "bag", as such, the penalty from the Haunted curse still applies, and Micah must still spend a standard action to retrieve items from her gear (unless it would normally take longer).
Seriously, though... *Rubs chin* What position would be the most fun to go for? I suppose going for the Treasurer position could be fairly fun... I don't think I've made a character totally obsessed with money yet. Could be fun.
I am Brem.
I'd love to play! I have three characters more or less ready to play with. One is Aldarion the Sage, a half-elven treesinger (plant-shaping druid) who I very thoroughly enjoyed playing in one previous, albeit very short-lived, Kingmaker campaign. I'd prefer to play him again. But I also have two other characters I'd enjoy playing, if you're looking for another role to fill. They're both still in the works, but they're mostly done so I can whip them up for you soon. Iozif Kovalov is an Aldori swordlord, designed to lead (eyeballing the Ruler position here) as well as fight. But I see hustonj has already submitted a very similar concept, lol. And then there is Bregolas Fierceleaf, an elf spirit ranger. A mystical kind of elven wilderness warrior, obviously by his name inspired by the one, the only, Legolas Greenleaf.
You can refer to the Campaigns tab of Aldarion the Sage to get an idea of the character and my roleplaying style.
One question: by "standard epic fantasy build" for ability scores, I think you mean for us to use the 25 points Epic Fantasy Purchase method? Because the Standard Fantasy Purchase method is 15 points (e.g. Standard and Epic are two different tiers of the Purchase method). Everyone seems to be going with Epic 25 points, but I just wanted to make sure before I modify my stats (all three are built with High Fantasy 20 points at present). Thanks!
Development! I'm going with brawler, albeit one who also uses a weapon--an improvised one at that! Still trying to decide between human and skinwalker, looking up some information and comparing stats between the two... In any case, he's going to be a lumberer who's been laid off and is now looking for work. Big, burly fella, representing the everyman in this mad quest for land. Leadership-wise, he'll probably end up as Warden, though possibly General. (The fact that Royal Assassin can be Strength-based is hilarious, but I don't see him doing that.)
EDIT: Tiny bit of research and thinking, and I'm going skinwalker. I'm wondering if I can reflavor a trait, though...
Your intense training has taught you how to infiltrate otherwise inaccessible ruins and extract their treasures without too much exertion.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Strength checks made to break doors and lift portcullises, and you treat your Strength score as 2 higher for the purpose of determining your carrying capacity.
I think the benefits of this work well with the character being a big guy who's just really, really strong after years of hard labor, although he's not a Pathfinder. Let me know what you think.
nightdeath--want to have a linked backstory, seeing as we're both Coldborn Skinwalkers? Perhaps from the same tribe or what-have-you.
Ok, I have the crunch done. I'll write up the fluff for you tonight and pm you it in the morning, Katataban.
Eh, dropping out of this one - i have more interesting campaigns to play in.
This is Kartari's druid, updated to meet this game's requirements. I will flesh out the back story a bit more, but statwise he's ready to go.
|
I'm in. This is a character made for a previous Kingmaker campaign that fizzled shortly after it started. In terms of crunch, he is as Lancer Paladin. In terms of Fluff, he is a loud, Bombastic individual (He is modeled on Brian Blessed for those that know him). Fun to play, and very simple.
He is not a MIn/Max character, but rather a balanced one. I will be adjusting him for this campaign (he was built on 20 points, not 25 as this seems to be).

It would appear that all I needed to do was drop a trait and adjust gold/spending. Which is now done. Let me know if I've missed anything.
The first thing that Alembic remembers is ... pain. the kind of searing, screaming pain that made his limbs twitch and his hair ache. This pain seemed to go on for a lifetime. Having known nothing but pain for so long, the lack of it shocked his system almost as badly.
Looking at himself, he noticed 3 things: 1) he had no idea who he was, 2) he was naked, and 3) he was in the courtyard of a burning manorhouse. Trying to stand was when he noticed the fourth thing about himself: he was badly injured. As he managed to get to his feet, staggering away from the raging fire, he noticed the large glass vial in his right hand, upon which was simply written "Alembic".
...........
that, of course, was many years ago. Since then, Alembic has travelled the length and breath of Golarion but has yet to meet anyone who knows who he is. As he wanders extensively, he has taken up the only life that makes sense: that of the adventurer.
Sorry, going to have to drop out of consideration. Life issues and all that rot.

Alright, this is RavenVoron's character. I sent you a pm with it, but incase it didn't work, you can click the name here and see his stuff.
Otm-Shank here, just throwing up the alias so it can be properly counted. I'll be finishing up the character as we discussed over the next day or so. I'll probably have a few questions for you between now and then as well.
Cheers!
Edit :
I would like to rejoin, and play a Dwarf Gunslinger named Dolgan Powderbeard.
Submission coming within 10 minutes.
=140 gold
EDIT: Oh god, Paizo ate my profile post...
I would like to submit Dred Delgath for your consideration.
It sounds like we've got a lot of people in already, and I'm having trouble thinking of a good character idea, so I think I'll pull out of this one. ^^ I hope everybody else can have plenty of fun, though!
Dolgan Powderbeard, formerly of the Sixth Battalion of the Stone Bastion, present!
(still gotta get crunch together)
I think I can speak for everyone involved when I try to express how grateful we are that you are willing to take on this load. You are doing far more than we have reasonable cause to expect of anyone.
That's exactly right.
By the way, do we know what character will JD be playing? I'm not sure if there is such a thing as too much brawn, but if there is, I'm fairly certain that we're approaching that limit.
