This is the official recruitment thread for my Dwarves of Varisia Campaign.
-Dwarf
2) Allowed Classes: All Pathfinder classes
3) Dice Rolls:
-Roll 4d6 reroll 1's, and drop the lowest die. Lowest any Score can be 3, while the highest any score can be is 18. You will be Roleplaying your Attributes.
4) Alignment restriction: No Evil! No LE, NE, CE, CN.
5) Hit Points and Armor:
a: First level you will get standard full HD, as according your character, plus your CON modifier.
b: All levels after you first Character level, will give you:
1+CONMOD instead of the d6
2+CONMOD instead of the d8
3+CONMOD instead of the d10
4+CONMOD instead of the d12
c: Armor Bonus from actual armor(this does not include any magical effects) will now act as dr/-. Reference: Ultimate Magic p. 191
Each class will have a Basic Defense Bonus as well as a BAB, the BDB will be 3every4,(like the cleric's BAB) for characters that have a Fighters BAB, or have good Reflex Bonus(such as the rogue). The BDB will be 1every1(Like Fighter's BAB) for any class that has both Best BAB and good Reflex. All other class will recieve a 1every2 BDB(Like the wizard's BAB)
6) Allowing up to 2 traits(Feats granting more are allowed as well, but you obviously have to use your feat slot for it)
I am also allowing Called Shot and PieceMeal Armor from Ultimate Combat.
All magic, whether from Arcane or Divine Spells, (Sp), spell like abilities, Domain powers, (Su); they all get their Damage dealt/healed die code downsized by one. So magic missile is now a 1d3+1, Fireball is 1d4, Lay On Hands and Channel Energy are also 1d4. This helps to even out the whole Magic bypassing Armor's Damage Reduction thing.
All Paizo products are allowed, others are with my permission, but try really hard to keep it to Paizo products.
I prefer a party of at least 4-6, but as many as 8 might be allowed.
Those who have participated prior to the opening of this thread will get preferential treatment in the selection, and the rest of ye will just have to apply below.
Ding! Here is Thorgrund. Stats were rolled in previous thread.
I asked there about using Kobold Press' Spell-less ranger variant, but for simplicity I'll keep it Core ranger.
What is the deadline for completion?
Current list of Party Members, with current listed classes:
Harrod Morthwyl - bi0philia - Fighter
Thorgrund Stormcloud - Torillan - Ranger
Dwinda Dwindlejak - Manzcar - Rogue
Feruin son of Durain - TrueRepentance - Wizard
- Wofguy - Bard
Note: I do not care about Party Balance. If there is no healing, there is no healing. And I recognize most of the listed are using some variant of some form, but those are just details, which are not important for the list's needs.

Wow. That is a little weird. At least I'm balanced.
And, just so you know, the monsters will have the same applications as the players, as far as magic and AC and HP and all that.
what should we do for gold? Roll, average, or max?
In the previous thread, AT gave us the choice of average, or taking the risk of a roll...ya take wat ye get!
Darksmoke. You forgot to drop the lowest die.
Yes, you can have up to two traits.
Wofguy. DM Torillan is correct. You can either take average, or take your chances and roll.
so
- 10
- 14
- 09
- 13(You didn't reroll that one.)
- 12
- 16
Dot. Be back in a bit. Car is screaming for the rest of my Sunday....
Truerepentance Here. Rolled stats in other thread.
Finishing sheet tonight!
Is crafting of any sort allowed? If so, what about crafting magic items?
Will this be in the world of Golarion or your own?
Is this an overworld type of campaign? Underground? Any and all?
Rolls
=14
& =13
=12
=14
=15
=12
I am thinking a Alchemist with a Sapper theme. Will see how it works out.
*10 = 90
See, I could have sworn I saw that, but I looked all over the last recruitment thread and wasn't able to find it anywhere.
What's up, Rage?! Don't be causin' no trouble now. ;)
Here's the gist of Emercy
x 10 = 170
He's not built to specs, obviously. It's pretty close to accurate, though. But not sold on traits and his feat at this time. Spells either. He's gonna be more melee oriented than your typical healer.
I'm still curious about my previous questions, though. Thanks.
#9 should be 13 not 15. #2 should be 11 not 13. Phew, long day.

Jaggerhoff is in Varisia, closer than not to Cheliax.
Darksmoke, who is Trudd?
Magic items are fairly rare.
Almost finished my character. Just have to finalize and then add my backstory. Please let me know if anything on my sheet does not match up, I may have not calculated my familiar correctly.
Basic backstory is that I was hurt when young and disabled in a way causing me to be quite weak(str 9). Probably from some other magic during a goblin attack. When it was discovered I could and frequently practised my abilities in the arcane, my family disowned me, shunning me, leaving me no home. Not all the dwarves felt this way but my father was very against magic. I left and grew up in Varisia. Traveling all over in my quest for knowledge. Always wishing to find that which other dwarves of the arcane may have left behind.
Harrod checking in, I'll work on getting the character done soon.
Thorgrund checking in. Hope to have him finished soon.
Basic idea is an older dwarf who felt confined working the mines, and so ventured out to join the scouts of Janderhoff (not Jaggerhoff). Well trained as a skirmisher, Thorgrund uses the old "axe and board" fighting style, delivering punishment with a dwarven waraxe.
A good tracker, he hopes to find a wolf companion someday (already befriended on previous patrols), but the creature is still somewhat wild and will disappear for days at a time.

Here is Eldgrim Jotunbiter. Stonelord Paladin of Torag.
Stats were rolled in the other thread. That 6 really hurts.

He's just...slow...thats all...
Thorgrund here has all the personality of a 2x4 to the side of the head... :-)
Ok, I thought I was all set on my Bard Archivist. Then I wake up and have some new ideas for him. So I want to ask which build others would prefer.
Archivist: Skill/Knowledge oriented
He'd be the master of knowledge checks (needing them to give bonuses in his performance) and be able to disable magical traps.
Magician: Magic oriented
I'd really like to do a blending between magic and bardic performance. There are some cool spells that interact with performance, and a feat that when I cast a spell my performance doesn't use a round.
Let me know what you think because I really can't decide.

Well, I am taking the Zest for Battle trait from Dwarves of Golarion Companion, which gives an additional +1 damage while under any morale bonus. Not much, but a total +2 damage at early levels can make a difference on many combats.
I can picture Thorgrund humming loudly along with the performance, very much out of tune, hacking away with a smile on his face.
Whenever you have a morale bonus to weapon attack rolls, you also receive a +1 trait bonus on weapon damage rolls.
FYI, Inspire courage gives a competence bonus to attack, Archivists Naturalist gives an insight bonus. They changed inspire courage (i think) so that it will stack with bless.
If it comes from a bard it counts as a morale bonus.
Sheizer! Janderhoff is the proper spelling!
Ok, I've decided to go with archivist, as it fits with dwarf bards better. Should have my character's info and background up tomorrow.
Also, I have Dwarves of Golarion. If anyone is interested in any information from it to help build your character, send me a pm.

It's a good read, worth the read for all my players.
I'm afraid i'm going to have to withdraw interest here, Good luck with your game Adeptus!
We all understand. Sorry you guys can't stay. Reality blows, doesn't it?
Ok, I don't know if I've ever spent so long on a character (but I guess that comes from reworking a character after hes completed, then reverting). Here is the link to my Dwarf Bard. I haven't written any background yet, I just wanted to get my crunch up before sleep.
His general background is that he is from the Lands of the Linnorm Kings up north. He studied under the skalds there about the history of the dwarves, and helped maintain many of their archives. Not sure yet how he gets to Varisia.
Speaking of reality, I'm pretty sure I won't completely finish Thorgrund until tomorrow (Wednesday).
I'll update as much as I can.
Seeing how Darksmokepuncher has a cleric, and BiOphilia has withdrew--and how he was running the fighter and all--I have a barbarian I could throw in there.
He's built for Rise of the Runelords, so, I don't know, maybe that'll work for your game as well? If not, I have a less "tailored" Barbarian that I got in herolabs created.
Let me know.
On second thought, I think I'm going to withdraw as well. Thanks for opportunity, AT. And sorry for any trouble this may cause.
Cold feet?
Is it too late to throw my hat in?
Thinking either a standard issue dwarven fighter or gunslinger if that is allowed.
