Range or control/dominance, depending on the situation.
Actually, I'm both Rakar and the Ripper, I just decided to withdraw Rakar and do the Ripper instead.
Will give you backstory tomorrow morning.
@DM Kal: I have everything i need to play ready to go, so no need to wait on me.
Will make bg later today :)
Itroducing... Doc!
His crunch and some fluff is in his profile but the crunch is unfinished atm. Still, the general jist is there :)
Also, would it be ok if I added Goodberry to my list of extracts? It fills the uneating aspect nicely at the cost of a valuable extract.
The Reaper
To the general public : Wyran
He is the mortician of the town. The local undertaker. He is very recluse to most, he does his job then goes home, often taking a bag home with him, he usually says its the offcuts of his job. noone judges or complain, he does a very good job. He grew tired of the living bringing him their dearly beloved's remains every time, he grew tired of the tears and mourns of those around him. Undeath will make his and those around him, their lives, or unlives much easier...
His true reason, to get materials for his slowly growing army. he doesn't want to rule the town, he just wants more to add to his army. He took the name The Reaper because of this. He sees himself as a neutral person, dealing death to all.
He has a skeletal bloody mount, and a cloaked figure, at night he uses a mask and other clothing to transform himself into a cloaked "skeletal" figure as he "openly' gathers more to his "flock"
GM, how do you feel about a character who came from another world by a backfire in his magic? Human sorcerer, already a villain back home, starting back from square 1(sort of) in Golarion.
@Crystal, The Ripper, and Jonas - noted.
@Doc - I don't see a problem with that, with a few caveats:
1) alchemist extracts don't affect other things, just the alchemist. That said, I'll let you waive the "berry" portion, and just take sip of a berry-flavored extract. It's still restricted to you, and still just an extract, but you've got your "never eats" in a nice tidy package.
2) Goodberry doesn't actually take care of you for the whole day, just for one meal. So you'd need to have 3 doses per day on average.
3) I'll give you consistently the maximum of 8 doses per extract, but if you save any of the doses to the next day, you can't use that extract slot that day (similar to the infusion discovery in that regard).
@Reaper - looks good.
@Chyrone - sounds fine, but why is he so careless with magic? Wouldn't banishment by his enemies come off as a little less klutzy?
It's not that,
he rose to power and he wanted more, for in his mind, there's always a day a new future obstacle can arise he isn't aware of. He wanted to be very prepared...but that day he didn't have much luck with a complicated new experiment. Hence his transworld trip.
Yup, plus his basic spells would be a little different in effect on Golarion.
Detect magic is universal, but his basic spell sleep would be a mere Daze here. Imagine all your magic you have left to work completely different.
Rp opportunity aplenty.
Alright, sure. Throw together a crunch and we'll see what happens.
@DM-Kal: I believe your town baker is ready.
I don't know if this question has been asked, but any idea how many you are taking for each group?
@Crystal - I was thinking 4-5 for each group, but there's a small chance I'll go higher or lower. The groups may not be perfectly balanced in number either.
So he really only needs to eat a single "Berry Flavored Energy Drink" every 6 days, but i figure twice a week is a good number.
He may be uncomfortable, but hey, hes a villan on the way to undead-paradise!
So to make sure i got it right, i can have 1 goodberry extract, usable only by me, and taking up one of my extract slots for the day and it lasts for a day (to keep it simple).
And with the above, i need to prepare it at least once every weekend :)
Alrighty. Thanks for the info.

I was thinking of playing an enchanter who's also a bartender
He deals in information, you see, everyone talks to the bartender, and once he gets people liquored up he sometimes supplements with his enchantments, charm person, enhanced diplomacy, that kinda thing. Once I can get my hands on brew potion I'll poor a potion of charm person in each keg, diluting it so as to make the effect much less noticeable (and also cheeper)
I'm thinking kitsune or aasimar for the race sorcerer for the class
You say you want the builds by tuesday?
It shall be done.
Ok changed the format, hope you like it better. been a crazy weekend for me 50+ family members over for the last few days. then add in having to alter things here and there making this char level 2 and fit in better fluff wise with this game. I really want to play this character concept so trying for any game that looks like i can play it in.

Xeram had lived as a powerful human lich sorcerer for many years. The scheming and charismatic type, he finds it weird to return being alive again and the hassle that comes with it. Foes are not to expect mercy if he could get away with it, but he'd frame them sooner to avoid unwanted attention, at least until he's back to his former glory. Others who fight up close are to stay there and keep the heat off him.
Xeram grew up in a busy city on the world of Gralm, populated with the same races as this new world called Golarion. He had grew up in the lower classes and saw what power the rich wielded with money, what it could get them.
His father was a lower class physician and had a sorcerer as a patient once. The man saw the young lad's envy and anger. "You wish to wield power too, yes?", the man asked him. Xeram nodded. "These ones you look at my boy, wield no power. Power comes from the arcane, where money means nothing. Come, i shall teach you the basics."
Xeram learned much while the sorcerer was recovering. His fascination and eagerness to wield more, so he would rise in the foodchain, rose quickly. So much in fact the sorcerer adviced him to go to the magic academy. Within he rose as well, through deceit and arcane prowess, to the point only the high-sorcerer surpassed him in power. Xeram wanted to know what made the man so strong. Devotion and knowledge. This meant Xeram would need more knowledge than the old man, likely more than a lifetime can provide. He started to dabble in the darker arcane and found a way to transform into a lich, which would provide him with immortality, pretty much all the time you need.
Returning to the academy as a lich he was beset upon, but he shrugged it off and casted the most vicious spells known on Gralm. When facing the old man a duel started which lasted for a day, before Xeram used a dirty trick to slay him. But now a new problem arose, what use is power if there is nobody to use it on or exert it over? And so Xeram started conquering nearby lands, bit by bit. Occasionally some heroes would pop up and attack his tower, but he drove them off. But a thought stuck with him, if he defeated the high-sorcerer, there's the possibility one would eventually rise capable of overthrowing him.. Xeram researched much whilest ruling his own modest kingdom. Eventually he came to a conclusion to combine different spells to try and see through time and space, to discover any would-be-heroes. The result was...less than fruitful, as a vacuum sucked him in, reverting his own lichdom and dropping him from a fissure 10 feet above the ground.
Now, stranded in a world slightly similar but different to his own, Xeram will have to learn the differences of worlds and of being alive again. Not to mention his frustration...of being stripped of much of his former powers.
Switched up a few things for the Ripper.
Forgot to put in:
Elemental bloodline Electricity and a bonus lvl 0 spell, fav class bonus can be an extra spell for humans.
Cantrip Spark as addition.
@Lord Foul, I, The Good Doc, as an alchemist can supply you with those potions! as long as you can cast the spell, i can get you as many as you want! Only 30gp a pop! (and free drinks on occasion on the side >.>)
And for your troubles, if you ever get a cold, nasty rat bite or extra limb you no longer want, well i can help you with that too!!

Yep! I have a concept that I have to get down and statted out before I forget how to do it.
Needless to say; no sleep tonight. At least until I make the first draft.
I already have an evil conjurer wizard in one campaign, so thats a no-go for me.. and I've already done the evil vivisectionist alchemist, so thats a nope. I have to decide what I'm going to do XD
I may go the false priest route.. or perhaps the creepy necromancer who steals the faces of his victims to use as masks.. bah so many ideas!
I'll figure somethin' out!
Ah dang I was actually thinking of going Gnome Fey Sorcerer Bloatmage XD You beat meh to it!
We seem to have a very large amount of spellcasters applying, so I'm going to look into something else.. something.. skill oriented. Hmm..
A Slayer! Yesss..

Ai knew from the moment she could walk that she was meant to be something quite different than what her parents had planned. "oh yes, the sweet little innocent girl. She will be tought in the ways of magic and will help all that she comes by. They should have been more wary of the truth behind her large eyes, the lifeless, blood red iris, the small slitted pupil. But somehow, this didn't really matter...
After YEARS of this, she began to excel in lying to people. This also brought along with it the ability to convince people that she would do something they wanted IF they resiprocated the favor in kind. She got along splendidly, no one has ever suspected her true goal. Now, its not a matter of if but WHEN she will become the most powerful person in town.
Her demenor is unchanging, though not cold. She simply "wants" everyone to get a fair shot. As long as they pay their debt in time, there will be no reprocussions. She is kind but just...
Everyone will love her and flock to her for their needs. In return.... They give her their lives: their SOULS.

oh goodie, I don't have to take a feat, thanks
Free drinks from the undosed supply in exchange for potions, coolI will have the character done in a few hours, I have to go to work
I am having trouble with the name though
Who are these eccentric people. This world holds secrets to me, but i shall gain the knowledge required to regain my lichdom and go to my own home. One step at a time.
Or, if that would fail in the end, subjugating people on this world could be a nice alternative.
Arcane necromancy and divine necromancy. fun times. soon this place will be overrun by our hoard!
Xeram would be fine with that, as long as he regains lichdom :)
He's likely going to take on that sort of necromancy as well, why not turn the dead militia leader into your meatshield?

ive always wanted to go to the local town, ask the mayor if he will hand it over to me... if no... he gets a visit from his son/daughter who died so many years ago...
"daddy...daddy... its cold out here... let me in... daddy...." *scratch scratch scratch*
I am withdrawing, good luck with the campaign.
Sorry to see people dropping out of this. I'd love to know the reasons.
I don't mean to speak for those that are dropping out, but I have a couple observations picked up from other recruitment threads:
1) Players who generally post sparsely (1 or 2 a day) can get aggravated/intimidated when players flood a recruitment thread with back and forth banter (perhaps thinking the GM will appreciate the quantity of posts, I suppose).
2) Players can shy away when characters start making preliminary alliances that they are not a part of, perhaps thinking the GM will pick those with ready-made alliances over those 'freelancers'.
Just my two cents.
