That works at bare minimum SCP-049. You will need to figure out what you were wearing and stuff you might have had with you when you died. Create a crunch with 1 level of the class you want. Then once you are ready we can get you that interview.
Thanks Sven for the explanation.
Yeah, I figured. I would say at my time of death, I would have had my house key, my Samsung S7, phone charger, my glasses, wallet with license and id. I would be wearing just a pair of jeans, and a Star Wars t-shirt. I will definitely make sure to add that to my character's inventory.
Here are the revised stats for Artemis with explanation
Str:10 He makes no illusions about being stronger then he is, Artemis don't play sports, but keeps himself decently fit by exercising time to time.
Dex:10 Artemis is not like Neo from the Matrix, dodging bullets at close range, and while his height doesn't help him when he do falls down, he feels that his ability to go through tight spaces helps compensate to make him average at dexterity.
Con:10 He has been sick fairly often in his childhood, most often with Strep, (a few times a year) until he got his tonsils removed. But, other than the occasional bad cough and the rare case of strep post-surgery, he would say that he is definitely in better condition then when he was younger.
Int:18(16+2) He loves learning, especially about history. His dream job has always been to become a history professor. He wouldn't say he is the best at getting his point across, but he knows enough raw knowledge and has the memory to utilize that knowledge to a high degree.
Wis:8 Yeah, hes know this is 100% true, he is the type of guy that creates convoluted plans that are going to be flat out denied most of the time in the Pathfinder and DnD sessions that he is apart of, nor is he the guy that does stupid stuff in a session not to help derail the session or to draw attention to himself. The stupid stuff he does do is partly based in a break down of communication, and rooted in the fact that he doesn't fully consider the full plethora of options before him and tends to commit himself to a course of action if he deems it worthy.
Cha:12 He can be decently charismatic if he put myself to work, or it comes easily to myself if he is passionate towards the subject/task at hand. Whether it be history, a joke/meme, or an idea, if he can get himself into it, he can be very charismatic. Otherwise, he barely puts in effort into trying to persuade others to follow the suggested course of action , and it shows.
Luck:11 He would say he was lucky to be born into the family that he was, gain the knowledge and experience that he did, and enjoy the life that he has. However, he just not as lucky when it comes to finding common interests with others in real life, or just hoping on chance based outcomes. (Rolling a die comes to mind)
As for my character, I will get the full build up ASAP. One question, before I do go ahead in character creation, would my character get the bonus ranks in expert that older characters are receiving, even though Artemis' is just only 18?
Artemis can get 1 level of hp and skills of an expert
Waiting on Frank and Sven still.
Another question, would the Gun Chemist archetype for the Alchemist be allowed? Asking since the Alchemist doesn't get up to speed with other classes until the Alchemist discovery Fast Bombs at level 8.
Gun Chemist is allowed, I like it!
Okay, I hope this all makes sense.
Str - 14: At 6’2” and 230 lbs, with a lifetime of physical activities (competitive sports, outdoors activities, and weight training), I would say I am substantially stronger than the average person, yet by no means a muscle bound giant.
Dex - 14: Though I lack the agility I had in younger years while still participating in gymnastics, I am still rather flexible (especially for my size). I have quick reflexes, a steady hand for precise work (knife work in the kitchen, painting/tool use/stitching, untangling my wife's many necklaces), and a solid aim with both the bow and firearms.
Con - 12: I work long hours on my feet, am happy to endure a day’s hard labor outside, and am currently training for a 5 mile race. I am also able to push through and keep functioning/working while ill (a comical story is still told by friends of the time I played both offense and defense throughout a high school football game in the afternoon, then was hospitalized for pneumonia that evening).
Int - 14: I graduated salutatorian of my class in high school, had developed a great deal of skill in a variety of topics, and can quickly and efficiently learn a new skill as necessary. My work requires a decent amount of abstract thought and problem solving, as well as financial management and planning, and I have been successful in all such regards.
Wis - 13: While by no means a great philosopher, I am frequently consulted for advice and counsel by friends, family, and colleagues (advice that tends to be beneficial). I am also rather observant, both to physical details and emotional cues, with a strong ability to read people.
Cha – 16 (14+2): Whether it be my time on stage, on a field, in front of a classroom, my work in counseling, or my capacity as a manager, I have always been able to influence emotions and inspire others toward a common goal.
Luck - 14: My life has been filled with a lot of strange situations and crazy stories, yet somehow I have always come out the other side smiling. Even the accident which happened last month (in real life), I walked away from the highway speed collision without need of medical attention. Then, when looking at cars to replace mine, I ended up getting a great deal after a 2:00am price drop on a used Camry in the morning before I was planning to buy something else.
----
As for class, at first I was thinking Cavalier or Bard, to play on my leadership abilities, but then I noticed we were supremely lacking in healing, and given that we are being called by a divine source to take on this new heroic life, thought an Oracle could be appropriate. It also plays into the fact that I enjoy my current profession, I miss working in education and mental health, helping young people reach their potential.
I am still trying to concept out a unique power or item.
If I understand correctly from the others' characters, with my mid 30's age, do I get 2 levels of expert?
Oracle is always fun, especially with mystery and curse customization.
There is also arcane healer bard.

Wow Todd! Yes you gain the hp and skills of 2 levels of expert.
Truely Todd play what you want, but you can always retrain later if you want to make a different choice later.
I think Artemis is finally done @GM Wolf, but is it possible to boost the 10 Artemis has in Dexterity up to an 11? Asking since several options that my character would have in terms of feats are locked out until level 8 because of a Dex 13 requirement after looking into it fully.
SCP-049
Trust me you will have chances in game to increase your ability scores.
Getting a bit serious she gives you your options, "Now you have two choices before you. You may ascend to heaven, to tell you the truth Heaven isn't the dreamy place you all imagine it to be. The dull place is full of spirits, no TV, you don't even have a physical body anymore so you can't do anything sexual, either. Just basking in the sun and working. Or go to a new world one of adventure, action, and like most of the games from your world monsters. The world has been invaded by dark forces that continue to spread and decimate the population of the world. You get to go with your body and memories intact. You will get to bring one great ability with you as well, a weapon of great power, a supreme ability,
Also you will begin with some skill as an adventurer and the ability to quickly gain power in your chosen class. There will be many opportunities to change as you wish. She spins and a flurry of cards come from her hands and land before you as suggestions. After a few moments she says annoyed, "Hurry up and choose.... you know that I have a lot of dead people to offer this choice too as well."
Just want to clarify: I get the hit points and skills for my expert levels, but not bonuses to saves, base attack, or feats, correct?
I noted earlier that Joe has multiple ranks in skills while Frank does not. @GM Wolf, care to clarify?
With everyone encouraging me to "play what I want" I did a little research last night and I think I found the ideal class for me, the Zealot (from Path of War, I noticed Frank is a Warlord, so I figured that was acceptable). It definitely fits my leader/director/manager background. I should have my character finished after work tonight.
Also, I amended my character's name from Todd (my middle name) to Kit (a nickname derived from my first name), Todd just sounded too strange.
Everyone can have up to 3 ranks in any skill but they need to line up with your background.
And let's be honest, Frank Steel totally sounds like a 90's action movie character... Or actor. Most excellent.
Plus 1d10 (max, 1st level PC class)
Plus 1/lvl (con)
11+10+3 = 24 hp
To clarify: Zealot is fine, make sure you know the class and either have the specials of the class linked or fully described.
Yes, Frank Steel sounds like a 90’s action hero. ;P

Kit still felt the shock and pounding in his chest as he found himself sitting in the black room. No, it's not a room... where, am I? As he asked himself the question, the strikingly beautiful woman appeared, and everything became far too clear. He remembered it all: rushing to work in the hot Carolina sun... picking up his dry cleaning... the 18 wheeler coming into his lane... the abandoned car on the side of the highway... the last kiss he'd shared with his wife.
A tear escaped his eye, and a slow gasp escaped his mouth.
"I'd remember her? Then, to this other world I will go. Perhaps in my loss I can prevent such horror and pain for another. And, a great power, you say? What better way can I prevent loss than with the power to heal. Grant me the grace that I may mend other wounds in times of need. That is all I ask, so long as I can remember her."
It seems that the decision will be up to Sven.
As you state your decision she gleefully says, "May you prosper and do well in Arcanium! Should you find and destroy any of the 13 dark souls you will be granted a wish. Also closing any portals to other worlds will gain you another wish to make Arcanium safe once more. Good luck Kit Longeri, may the divine bless your travels."
Artemis
Kit looks at the striking young woman, "You have called me to this place and gifted me this second chance to do some good. I will trust in your guidance as to how I am able to heal the wounds of the injured and fallen. Now, I will seek out this Joseph, but is there Anything I shall know him by?"
What decision is up to Sven?
Ah. By shapechanging into wolves and tearing apart with our mouths? Seems easiest.
Lol, that is the simpliest route and after the instances of trapping boar Sven is out of rages.
Just wanted to pop in and say I'm really enjoying this campaign so far! Great role-playing all around!
I will be gone for 8 days for camp, most likely no posts after tonight.
Great to hear Joe, thanks!
@GM Wolf I read and have been rereading the new post that was made after my character walked into the tavern, and because of how its worded I have no clue on what exactly is going on. If you can please reword the second part of the last paragraph. Is Sven back at the tavern and the bartender is therefore giving him another drink, or is the person at the bar buying the mead for my character, or something else entirely is going on, thanks in advance.
I thought we were leaving town? Where is the party atm
Artemis just walked into the bar. I forgot to change Sven’s name for Artemis. The bartender is giving you the prices for his two most popular drinks and once you state what you want he provides it.
Sven and the hunting party are with the boars, trying to carry them.
[shines Excalibur while he waits]
Back and ready to go, vacation was a bit longer!
WB
[hold up arms in victory] "YEEAAAA!"
:)
;P
Great feedback!
Have fun Frank! Thank you for keeping us informed.
Sorry folks I am at a beach house this week, I thought we would have wifi but no. My posting will be sporadic.
It makes sense that Frank has not posted but how about the rest of you. If you have any questions please ask. I hope to get to a new day soon and move you to a town rather than this village but I need to know a few things first. What do you do for the rest of the night, where do you bed down, and if you drank more than 3 ales that night you need to do a Fortitude check to see if you got drunk DC 12, then +2 for every ale after the 4th.
No worries Joe. Delman had offered to take anyone that was interested to the place he had been sleeping, in a hay barn loft. Artemis took him up on the offer. Sven and Frank have not made any posts so they get to stay at the stables, a central location.
And I thought it was just me who was having troubles posting. Have the goblins been tearingg at your wires too?
Boys this is suppose to be a player led campaign, you know you ask questions and then act on them but I have not seen much exploration or inquisitiveness. I will gladly have my NPCs lead you around, introduce quests, or even have aome events drop into your laps. What do you want?
