Sadly, if there's one week where every year I'm guaranteed to have to work 100+ hours, its the week before the 1st of May. I'm very regretfully going to have to withdraw from this recruitment, as I won't be able to put together the "A" submission this game deserves.
Good luck to all the applicants, and may you all not have to fight any more gatormen!
Thanks for the heads-up.
Continuing to tweak a bit as I work out feat progressions... I've switched a couple feats and a little gear. Updated in the profile.Which feats did you switch up?
I dropped Cleave and picked up Iron will. My Will save is low and cleave at CL8 is becoming more situational. I also dropped Imp. Sunder for Imp. Crit and switched from Greatsword to Falchion. I plan on taking Imp. Sunder in the future but felt that Imp Crit would be better at this point.
build wise I am good, I plan in getting a little more detailed story, depending on work.

Let me know if you need anything further from me or any clarification or if I should expound upon anything. Baldwin.

Done. Sorry, I had done it before and forgot to recreate after the last tweak.
Whew, everything but gear done.
Now for the hard part, that is a LOT of money to spend.....
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our Gnomish dead.
Just trying to figure things out. Are we level 8 with 2 stat increases? Or level 7 with a free bonus NPC level (BAB, Saves and additional skills/class skills), but effectively no real level?
Also, are our skills capped at 7 ranks or 8 ranks?
Tirion: the latter is true. it gives NPC level stuff but not a real level. and ranks are capped at 7
at least that is how I understand it.
Level 7 - one stat bonus
The NPC is free but essentially no level.
Skills are 8 ranks.
Whew, everything but gear done.

I'm sure you can put it to good use and spend it.
ok that is a little different I thought the ranks were capped at 7 ranks. oh well that is fine. I am happy with my current skill point distribution anyway.
it was difficult enough manipulating Hero lab with the NPC level.
bing bing bing......dotting complete.
Interested in more info so I can decide what else I have to work with.
I am currently in a game with sunny {i am strigh} who posted above so she can verify whether or not I RP well. I do like to use dice as a back up for what I state I am doing but am ok if they get ignored as well.
I have gm'd several pbp and played in a few.
I have actively gm'd and played for almost 20 yrs in RL. I like it so count me in if you can.

What information are you looking for?
The re-recruitment information begins at this post:
uhhh, I am not Sunny... but hello Strigh. (I play Sabrina in that game) and that game is one of the games I am thinking of dropping as it really is not working out well for me.
added a more detailed story to reggie's alias.
Growing up on the streets of Port Peril isn’t easy; it’s even harder when you have a short fuse and a bad temper. Reggie grew up like this, always in trouble, always in a fight.
Reggie’s mother died when she was only 6 years old, and her father was a dock worker, and a drunk. You could say Reggie was raised by sailors at the rough and tumble docks of Port Peril, feisty girl who learned how to survive from pirates.
Things changed what Reggie was about 12 years old. Her father owed money to some local drug dealers and it was time to pay the Piper (literally, that was the street name of the drug lord). In his drunken stupor, he gave Reggie up as payment. Reggie was taken and forced into the whore house.
This didn’t last long; Reggie was a bit too rough and rather rude to the customers. Her talents were better suited to something a bit more violent. She ended up as bareknuckle street fighter, still working for the Piper. It was here she earned the nick name of two-fist; her signature combo move.
This kept her out of trouble for a bit until on night, the Piper was entertaining some out of Towner’s. Pirate Lords from across the sea; some place called Port Shaw. Reggie was to fight one of their fighters. To make the deal go down, she was to throw the fight. But that didn’t happen. Reggie put her opponent down in the second round after she lost her temper and practically ripped the guy’s throat out.
The Piper became pissed, and now it was Reggie’s turn to “pay the Piper”. Reggie was abducted, beaten unconscious. She awoke at sea, aboard a pirate ship.
Reggie wasn’t exactly happy with the arrangement, but she made the best of it; until she was captured.
Reggie ended up in a Port Shaw prison; Charged with Piracy. She spent close to two years in the prison and making a name for herself in the prison’s “fight club” (never talk about fight club). She befriended a Tien man that taught her new fighting techniques, and she became a favorite among the guards. Her signature move reinforced her nickname as “Two-Fists”
Things changed for the worst when she lost her temper yet again when a guards attempted to “show his enthusiasm” a little too forcibly. Reggie killed the guard and was sentenced to be hung for murder.
She escaped the hangman’s noose by feigning pregnancy and got a stay of execution until she gave birth. This bought her some time to plan an escape.
Escape plans never came to fruition. It would seem that Port Shaw prison system can be just as corrupt as the criminal organizations that it housed. Reggie’s freedom was purchased and she found herself flung back into the ring at the Broken Skull.
Reggie has been working here ever since, never knowing who was responsible for, or why her freedom was purchased. She is looking for a way out of this situation, maybe going back to sea on a legitimate ship for a change.
She still has a few dock and pirate connections but they are becoming more and more scarce.

Thanks
I'm going to keep the recruitment open until 11:30 pm, I'm waiting to review a couple candidates.
ok was reading the gameplay and got to the whole thing about the bakeries.
suddenly this came to mind
And that is done save for mundane purchases much of which will be dependent on how Benbow is introduced. Feel free to review boss, I think it all makes sense.

Thank you. I'll finish the review..
Ok, here is Hancwyr Avril, aristocrat, monk, fighter and general pain in his father's butt.
Let me know if anything is missing. I have not completely finished with all the purchases, but the feats, traits, skills and most other equipment should be included. Background and general appearance is mostly finished.
Sorry for the delay, I did not realize that this was going to close today until late this morning.

I should have the decision up in about 15 minutes.
Thank you everyone who applied for the open slot, it was hard decision. The following player can step on into the discussion thread and dot the game thread when you get a chance.
Ptahh (Valjoen_KC) -
Male half-orc Expert 1/ fighter 7
Again, thank you for those who applied.
ahh well, way to go... the expected winner I predicted....
BTW any constructive feedback for Reggie?
Thanks for the chance. Let me know if you need someone else to step in and join you.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks for giving me a chance as well, i enjoyed making reggie and reading the events in gameplay.
You guys are having fun and that is what counts.
Anyway if you can think of anyway i can improve reggie let me know, also if another opening comes along let reggie know
Thanks for the shot I suppose Ptahh was a good choice if you couldn' get a gnome. :7)
Have fun all!
Now off to rebuild Benbow to first level. I really want to see if a mountless gnome martial can work.
