Sounds good to me, including all that Lady has said (though I will have to rework my character some...had good rolls..lol)
I also agree with making the players tie themselves together and create a background. Not all of them, but it makes more sense if a few know each other and helps flesh out their characters and the city some. As to PC sheets, I use HeroLab to create and track all my characters (and players). It makes life easy and does standardize player character sheets. As DM I usually input their characters, then send them a PDF of their character or if they want BBCode for their profile.
Anyway, my 2cp worth. Have never played this AP so am looking forward to possibly being in the group! So far I think we have a good looking group..lol
yep if you using HeroLab then its 20 point or 25 point spend.
Good bit of software.
Keep trying to download pathfinder 8.0 file update for it but just will not, takes hours :(
I would not particularly recommend anything above a 20 point buy, unless you're only going to be running this for a smaller party than the AP is designed for. That is just enough for the more MAD classes to work with without forcing excessive stat dumping.
Anyone making a teifling character, I will be requiring them to take the teifling trait, Infernal Bastard .
It will be a 20 point buy.
This character was made specifically for a council of thieves game which died due to DM disappearance (he later reappeared and explained, so no hard feelings.)
Looking over my stats, I'm pretty sure he was built on a 20 pt. buy, even. Other than the potions of cure light wounds I received early in, I believe my equipment is what I rolled up, so that's easy to remove.
Basically, this guy can be applied pretty much as is, barring any specific plot elements you choose not to apply. The DM was quite thorough and specific in creation requirements, so it ended up pretty detailed.
Dingo Meadowbreeze, Halfling Gunslinger for consideration. All crunch and fluff in profile!
So my character sheet is in myth-weavers
my character sheet.
Base background is here.

Ooh, 20 point buy. I can make a character who isn't a bag of hammers. :D I'll throw something together asap. ^_^
Hmm.. what better way to join a neutral/evil party than with a bloodthirsty savage? I'm going to make a hulking savage of an orc barbarian, specializing in tackling his foes into the dirt and rending them limb from limb. Dumb, dimwitted, and with the people skills of a potato. I think I'll think of on or two driving obsessions to keep his simple mind occupied. :3
.. uh.. if my int score is negative (which it very much is. >_>;) does that mean I get no skill points?
1 Sp a level even if you have the brains of a cobblestone.
1 Sp a level even if you have the brains of a cobblestone.
Thank god, lol. This.. this is the dumbest character I've ever made. >_>;
Yep that's why I did the same with this guy.

Perception. Helps keep those ambushes away.
Working on crunching at the moment but I've got the general idea worked out. Here's the link to the sheet I'm using for him. :) Character Sheet
.. Would any of the current characters be interested in a 'pet' savage? I'm thinking perhaps a 'debt owed guardian' kinda set up might work well for this dimwit. :P
Hmm... That is an interesting offer...
He's dumb as nails, and mortifyingly violent.. I figure this kind of setup might be the safest way to get him into a party. You know, without maiming them or eating them. >_>;

.. That made me laugh into a coughing fit, well done. If I had been drinking my precious coffee I'd be spending the next 5 minutes wiping off my tv. XD
I like how you guys are competing over Krump. ^_^
There we are, off to a decent start here. Everything needed should be on the alias profile or the character sheet referenced therein.
.. Also.. Gods have mercy on the poor bastard who dares lay a hand on his rat. o.o
I was actually thinking about ways to rescue that one I rolled for Hp. Take the Toughness feat, then add the +1 Hp for favored class. Plus whatever bonus I could come up with for Con. So maybe about 6 hp. That's not that bad. :P

--------------------
Carilain had lived all his life in the confines of the Barrowwood. His parents taught him the ways of elven magic and fighting. The hidden community where he was raised was , for the most part, quite and pleasant. He should have been happy there. Should have found a fine elf girl and married, content to tend the trees and raise a family.
Carilain found no such peace though. He was driven by needs he could not understand. He was driven by the knowledge that Cheliax was not a good place anymore. He knew that it was not enough to dwell quietly in the forest. Soon enough, the diabolical influence would find it's way into his homeland.
It did not help that Carilain had found reference to a living weapon, in one of the books he had studied. An ancient elvish weapon, the book hinted that this blade might be found in Westcrown. At any rate, the city seemed to call out to Carilain. A place fallen from it's old glory and needing a re-birth.
Saying good-bye to his tearful mother and stoic father, the young elf set out for the great city, seeking his fortune, or perhaps fate. The future remains cloudy but, there secrets to be discovered in the shady streets of Westcrown.

Background
Born and raised in Westcrown, Tomas' parents were actually from Westpool. They moved to Westcrown to find a better life, but all they found was death. When Tomas was still only a child, robbers broke into the family home. His parents made the mistake of resisting, and the thieves killed them.
It was a neighbour that found the young Tomas, stunned from the attack, wandering the street out front of their home. While the authorities were contacted, the criminals were never found. It would have been a different story if the young boy had been sent to the state run orphanage, but a family friend took him in instead.
While time seemed to heal the wounds of his parent's loss, Tomas never forgot. He started running the streets, following leads and attempting to track down the men who destroyed his family. Over the years he had many false starts, but during the time he honed his knowledge of the city and her people. He started taking contracts to find other people and goods, earning a reputation as a honest and hard working person.
He still looks for the villains who robbed him of his parents, but to date has not been able to gain solid evidence as to their identity.
I plan on ending submissions sometime this weekend.
Belmar d'Hourve, not his original elven name, has lived in Westcrown since before the fall of Aroden. Barely a handful of decades old, he had left his kin and moved to the city due to a slight drow heritage in his bloodline. Slight as it was, it was enough for him to draw veiled insults from his people and after a couple of decades of this treatment, he'd had enough. Travelling with an elven merchant by the name of Jathanyl, he decided to settle down amongst humans in Westcrown who seemed to care little for his drow heritage. Indeed, it appeared that none of them even noticed it.
In the years since Aroden's fall, Belmar has watched his adopted city fall to ruin. He did not support House Thrune throughout the civil war and was saddened to see them win. Since then, he has mostly kept to himself as he has trained himself in the arcane arts. Locked up in his study with only his familiar, a greensting scorpion called Malythnar, for company, his social skills have wasted away. By and large, he treats people with civility although he tends to stay away from other elves.
Despite his hermitage, recent events have begun to spur him into action once more. With increasing attacks during the night and more and more open use of devil worship, Belmar feels it is up to people like him to take a stand and fight. He has researched any resistance movements for a couple of years and now he stands ready to join them. Hopefully, he can make a change for the better.
Yeah, thanks Snithe. I did see that.

Here is my background
Upon reaching the proper age, she was "trained" as a prostitute proper. She was given a room in the temple and she started to see her own "guests". Feeling a bit confused by this, she followed through. She came to realize that her child training was just readying her for this most important job, that of keeping others happy. When she was not with a guest, she proceeded to pursue other interests, that of dancing and singing. Taking up the violin, she started to entertain the common room of guests that she was not assigned for that shift. She would take any extra coin that she would earn and save it for the future, for she now knew that Calistra must have great plans for her to put her in this high of a place. She continued to listen, but now started to get her guests to talk as well. She learned of conspiracies, plans against others. She knew that this knowledge was power, and kept this to herself.
Upon reaching her 17th birthday, she was woken by the Priestess who was in charge and told to gather her things. Sarianna did, excitedly. She was wondering what lofty place that Calistria was placing her in now. She was shown to the front door, and told that she was now too old and ugly to be here, so she was shown out and the door slammed behind her. Standing there in the rain, Sarianna came to realize the truth. She had been used by the church to gain money and secrets. Her childhood was taken away by these people. Well, two can play that game, especially here in Westcrown. She knew a few secrets, and there were many others out there to learn, ones that might put her in a position to gain revenge against the Priestess and the church.
Turning around, she then knew her predicament. While she has lived here in Westcrown her whole life, she had never seen it before.
Taking her belongings, she walks down the street and ends up in an inn, one that could use her services as a bard. She traded her performances for room and board. Sarianna took the last name of Vi, for she knew it to be a nonsense word, and that is what last names were, anyway. Sarianna then took to going out after her performances, exploring the city. One night she walked down the wrong alley, and was set upon by 3 men. Unable to fight back, she was saved by Voltario the Asp, a man of mystery that there were nothing but rumors about at the inn. Voltario tells her that she needs to take care of herself, and offers to train her to do so, in return for helping him with tasks that he needed done.
Now apprenticed to Voltario, she started to learn the ways of the street. She already knew to listen and to keep quiet, and these skills helped her survive Voltario's training. Earinig extra money on the side, she started to assess her situation and start to figure out how she would start finding new secrets to use against the church. This is where she is found at the start of the campaign.
And here is her character sheet

I will make an alias if I am chosen to play (Fingers Crossed)
Well once we figure out if it is point buy or roll I will toss around some stats. In the mean time here I am. Never mind the stats, or the sheet I guess as that depends on stat, but the rest is there.
It is a 20 point buy.
Update
I will be allowing guns. Going for a tech/diesel punk theme. So for all those who wanted guns, :-).
Submissions will be ending on Friday.
Well that makes things interesting, doesn't it? I wonder how well a moron will fare in a world of firearms? :P
I may have to take 'throw anything'. That way if somebody pulls a gun I can throw a table at them. >:D That'll teach 'em.
Haha, that would prove interesting.
Psionics allowed? I remember a post about anything from the SRD. Has that changed?
I'm actually determined to hit somebody using a horse. o.O Probably as an improvised weapon. How do you even react to that?
Oh. That one just smacked Cletus with a horse. Uh. Lets go home. >_>;
PRD not SRD.
"Krump put down the Cart please... There is a family of three sitting in it. I know I know... He shot at you. But no killing civilians, please? See sir, you shouldn't shoot at him... It just makes him angry!"
Sheet updated minus some equipment changes.
