Due to issues with keeping my Mummy's Mask play going since I have had 4 to 5 characters drop in and out over the last several months, I am spinning up a new Curse of the Crimson Throne PFRPG version recruitment thread (as I am sure 10,000 others are with the super new PFRPG version). I am looking for 3 players, as I have two already who may play a bard and a vigilante.
Character creation rules: Roll stats 4d6, take the best 3, reroll 1s and 2
Starting level 2
Allowed races: Pretty much any other then noble drow or the 30 pt plus stuff like Centaurs and the like. If you have a 3.5 race you want me to take a look at, I'll review it.
Allowed classes: All Paizo. 3rd party
Rite Publishing's in the Company of Monsters series
Dreamscarred Press's Path of War Expanded and Psionics etc
Rogue Genius Games character classes
Ultimate Truenaming
3.5 prestige classes can come across without issue. Also the 3.5 binder form the Tome of Magic is also available, as is the PFRPG conversion by Master Arminas on these forums for the shadowcaster.
HP max 1st level as always, roll for 2nd, reroll if you get a 1 (seriously, this isn't 1st Ed where you had a 2nd level wizard with 3 hps and 2 1st level spells)
Starting character wealth 2,000
Traits 2 pick one from the old guide or I can send you the PFRPG equivalents
Flaws are also in play from 3.5 UA or the ones on PFSRD20.
Type of characters recommended: urban oriented, good to neutral alignments, Varisian or Cheliaxian human background. Korvosa is a 19,000 or so person human LN dominated city with lots of laws and wealth.
Recruitment will be open until the 23rd of January.
Ooh. I haven't played this one yet. Would like to try out the Sable Company Marine archetype of ranger.
Good grief. Thank goodness for rerolls. I'm assuming we only reroll any dice that wouldn't have been dropped, please let me know if that's not right.
Ok, so that's 11, 16, 14, 11, 9, 15. Quite workable.
Let's see what I have to work with then.
lotta 1's and 2's there... luck of the trinam.
...still!
ok so that's...
4, 3, 5, 6 > 15
5, 3, 4, 4 > 13
4, 3, 4, 4 > 12
5, 4, 5, 6 > 16
4, 6, 6, 4 > 16
4, 6, 6, 3 > 16
holy snap, this is one of the MAD-friendliest stat blocks I've seen in a while. Lemme see about an unchained monk then?
DAT LUCK, THO. This is why I minmax, I am incapable of rolling well, I swear.
...actually, nevermind, I'll roll some kind of divine caster, like an oracle or cleric. So.
...yes. that's much better.
Ooh. I haven't played this one yet. Would like to try out the Sable Company Marine archetype of ranger.

Yup that would be correct, and if you wish to reroll you can. The Sable Company is based in Korvosa, so you can be the marine without a problem. And foreshadowing, you may be able to rise far in the organization during the adventure....
Dot for my Inquisitor!
And yes I know the creation rules are quite powerful, but given that I had 36 deaths in my IRL tabletop version of Kingmaker over two years and the only difference was I used the 6 person version without changes, we should be ok.
Reroll line 1
Reroll line 2
Reroll line 3
Reroll line 4
Final stats: 15, 13, 11 14, 17, 17
(assuming I didnt mess up)
PsyWar hit points
9, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14
Deleted my post a couple spots up because there was a mess of rolling and rerolling, so here we go again:
stats:
and 2nd lvl hp:
line 1:
line 2:
line 3:
line 4:
line 5:
line 6:
so 12, 11, 18, 14, 16, 11, with 10 hp at level 2. I can put together an Aegis with those numbers :)
@ stormcrow27:
the computer seemed bound and determined to give me lots of 1s and 2s to re-roll.
Please check what I have in the spoiler to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.
(5,6 & 2 re-rolls)
(2 re-rolls)
(5)
(4) … (16)
(a 4 and 3 re-rolls)
(a 6 and 2 re-rolls)
(a 6 and 1 re-roll)
(5) … (17)
… (13)
(6,3,5 and 1 re-roll)
(5) … (16)
(6,5 and 2 re-rolls)
(3 and 1 re-roll)
(5) … (16)
Point buy equivalent = 48
Provided all of that that is correct:
Stat array: 17, 16, 16, 16, 13, 12
Would ifrit, skinwalkers, or dhampirs be acceptable?
I have a few ideas kicking around with stats like these.
Dotting for now. Will look at everything tonight
Oh, this looks interesting. Let's see what the dice have to say:
5, 3, 6, 6: 17
5, 6, 5, 4: 17
4, 3, 4, 4: 12
6, 3, 4, 5: 15
3, 4, 6, 4: 14
4, 3, 6, 5: 15
And the grand total:
17, 17, 12, 15, 14, 15
That's... A solid spread. Hopefully I'll have a character up by tomorrow.
Are we using any of the Unchained stuff? The classes, Background Skills, Variant Multi-Classing, etc.?
Rerolls
rerolls 2
rerolls 3
So 16,15,15,17,12,13 then
13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 18
6,5,6 =17
3,6,4 =13
6,6,3 =15
6,6,6 =18
6,5,6 =17
4,5,6=17
If I've done this right,(rerolling every time I get a 1, or 2), that gives me: 17,13,15,18,17,17 to work with.
That doesn't seem right ... but if it is ... wow
I'll see how the dice gods favor me. Thinking of a rogue or a slayer of some stripe.

Set 3: 12
Set 4: 15
Set 5: 18
Set 6: 17
I'm feeling a wizard percolate. Story to be created & crunch to follow!
Okay. 13, 11, 15, 16, 14, 16. Well, since Rogue Genius Games character classes are allowed, I thinking of submitting some kind of godling, but more campaign appropriate.
Half-Giant Psychic Warrior still missing some bits and pieces but this is most of the crunch.

Racial Abilities
____________________
Low-Light Vision: Half-giants can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light. See Vision and Light.
Fire Acclimated: Half-giants receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against all fire spells and effects.
Powerful Build: The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefts of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
Naturally Psionic: Half-giants receive Wild Talent as a bonus feat at 1st level. If a half-giant takes levels in a psionic class, he instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.
Half-giant Psionics: Half-giants gain the following spell-like ability: 1/day—stomp. The manifester level for this effect is equal to 1/2 the half-giant's level (minimum 1st). The DC for this power is equal to 10 + the power's level + the half-giant's Charisma modifier.
Psionic Aptitude: When a half-giant takes a level in a favored class, he can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.
Survivor: Half-giants gain a +4 racial bonus to Survival checks.

Also, as you mentioned 3.5 races, mind to check Goliaths from Race of Stone to see if they appeal to your tastes?

I'm definitely interested in Curse of the Crimson Throne.
I'm going to throw my hat in with this character I made for another recruitment.
I'll just need to update his crunch.
So the total would be, after rerolls are filled in:
Stat 1: 5,6,3 : 14
Stat 2: 6,5,5 : 17
Stat 3: 5,5,3 : 13
Stat 4: 3,3,4 : 10
Stat 5: 5,4,6 : 15
Stat 6: 6,5,3 : 14
Stat array: 17, 15, 14, 14, 13, 10
Pretty good.
Now to try and figure out how to make my 'totally broke' background work with 2000gp of starting gold. Any ideas?
To clarify: We are only supposed to be rerolling the 1s and 2s that would be kept, yes? I see a lot of applicants rerolling every 1 and 2, which leads to much, much stronger stat pools.

Name: Nina Anders
Race: Human
Age: 12
Class: Barbarian(2), Oracle[Life Mystery (Unsure if will go Dual Cursed or Possessed)](8), Rage Prophet(10)
Alignment: Chaotic Good / Chaotic Neutral
Personality: Personality: Nina is shy, timid, quiet, and always seems to be afraid. She will hide behind others and look out from under their arm if she feels comfortable around them. She sometimes shakes uncontrollably in a feverish shiver, and sometimes she can be heard talking to thin air. She is not evil, but she does have a dark secret. Despite that she will do her best to keep anyone who takes care of her alive.
Background: Nina is the daughter of Tina Anders a Cheliax fugitive turned and Ned'Zul a Shoanti outcast. Ned'Zul having rescued Tina from bounty hunters, had brought her to his tribe. The tribe's shaman warned that she was cursed and that she should be put to death. Ned'Zul defied the elder and helped the chelix woman escape. Nowhere known to go, they eventually ended up in Korvosa. It was hard living at first, but slowly as their love for each other bloomed, they lifted themselves out of the gutter. With a food business becoming a newly established restaurant, things were going well for the family. In between all this Ned (the name he started going by) and Tina had a daughter. Ten years of extreme happiness blessed the family, before misfortune befell them.
As if a curse had befallen on them, Ned had gotten very ill. For weeks he could not get up from the bed. Tina was still able to manage the restaurant alone. But over the few nights she had been travelling the streets alone, she caught the sight of Gaedren and his lackeys. They watched her and followed her at first, and one night they broke into the family's flat. The woman who had barely even closed the door screamed in alarm. Ned struggling to stand came to their defense, but was taken out by a burly half-orc. Nina saw it all, and her mother yelled for her to run as she grabbed her and dragged her into the bedroom. No time to barricade the door, Tina managed to wrap a blanket over Nina's waist and lowered her down the second story window.
The last image Nina saw of her mother was that of her being dragged back inside the window and her screaming for her to run to the guard. When Nina finally managed to navigate the maze that Korvoza was in order to find a guard, it had already been to late. Both Tina and Ned'Zul Anders were found murdered. Frightened and alone Nina ran away from the guards. Wishing it was all a nightmare, all she wanted to do as wake up. But morning never came for Nina, and she soon became one of Korvosa's street urchins. Surviving on feral instincts Nina barely survived, but she did survive. Eventually she began sculpting dolls and figures to not feel alone. Often pretending the little figures were her mother and father, she would talk to them as if they could answer back...
About Myself: I have been playing play by post on RPGCrossing for the past 5 years, and very much enjoy it. I find the RP aspect is more prominent than regular tabletop games and allows for better character development. I have always wanted to be a player in this adventure path, but I have to be honest. I own the first book. Still I would love the opportunity to play in it and I believe I choose a character that I can roleplay without spoiling the fun for the other players. I'll roll stats once I get picked. I'll make whatever I roll fit into the character not the other way around! :-)

Eesh... Lotta rerolls...

Created with Twistlok's roles. History is pretty good, character sheet next.
Ry'ean has been held captive by the Drow for most of her life and has just recently learned she is not in fact Drow and her life has been a lie.
oh balls
I think I've finally settled on an idea. A human brawler (shield champion). Because, let's be honest, what every campaign needs is more Captain America. (Captain Andoran? Captain Varisia?)
Alchemist level HP
