Arachnofiend's Emerald Spire (Inactive)

This is the official recruitment thread for my Emerald Spire game. Character creation rules are as follows:

-First and foremost, we will be using the Kirthfinder set of house rules; since this is largely a test for me on how this ruleset functions I ask that you select only the classes listed in the document, rather than pulling from other sources (Paizo or otherwise).

-Character should be built with the Heroic Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8).

-Paizo races are allowed... within reason. The Emerald Spire is under the control of a Chelish city, and you need the permission of that town's leadership to enter it. As much as I love them goblin characters will not work.

-In addition to your character sheet I would like a short blurb on your character's personality and why they might be interested in the Spire. This is primarily a dungeon crawl so roleplaying opportunities will mostly be up to the party; since I enjoy both the numbers game and the roleplaying aspect of Pathfinder preference will be given to submissions that show some proficiency in both.

-Characters who are not fit to function with a party are completely non-negotiable; backstabbers and thieves need not apply.

I'll keep submissions open for two weeks, making the deadline March 5th at midnight. I'm probably forgetting to say something important here so feel free to ask any questions that come to mind.


dot, will have to decide what I want as a character.


Just as a side note, be aware the rules posted at that link are the Beta playtest rules. I can email more up-to-date ones if there is sufficient interest.


Dotting. Will have to read through those Kirthfinder rules and see what inspiration comes.


I'm interested I'll be writing up a monk.

Cool rules by the way Kirth.


Thanks! There are much more polished ones HERE.
One erratum: the monk posted above gets a sutra at 1st, 5th, 9th, etc. (not 3rd, 7th, etc.). However, the scaling sutra effects still mean that he comes out ahead.


So GM. are you good with any race other than Goblin? The Grugach looks very interesting to me, or would that be too much Goblin? I would probably go ranger. The Robert E. Howard reference to 'picts' got me thinking.

Think to yourself, "If I were to go to a hard line Lawful Evil Hellknight and ask her permission to mess around in the big magical tower outside of town, would she say yes?" If the answer to this question is "she'd kill me, probably" then you should consider a different race.

You should geeenerally stick to core races, though I'm also open to the outsider races and others that can be swung as mostly human-esque.

Oh, woops, I was wondering where you got the Grugach; we'll be using Paizo races, not the ones listed in the document. Those are specifically for Kirth's campaign setting, while this is set on Golarion with Golarion races.


Will we still be using Kirth's rules for generic races? If so should I be using the rules for a hill dwarf if I choose a dwarf. Likewise should I only use rules for high elf race if I select elves?

We will be using the standard Paizo race rules; ignore the Kirthfinder section on that entirely. That is one of those things that I should have made clear in the OP but forgot about that I knew I would end up forgetting about, sorry.


No worries GM!


I hope this thing isn't going to die stillborn! Only three days to go!


I know the deadline is passed but you seem to have a lack of players. Would it be possible for me to apply still?

I appreciate the offer but this isn't happening it seems.


fearcypher, Arachnofiend -- if either of you still wants to play in a KF game, my Savage Tide PBP has an opening.

Sovereign Court

Is this still up?


Is it too late still? Bwahahah.
