A couple of replacement slots have opened up in this PF1 Wrath of the Righteous campaign; we're looking to recruit!
Our current team is made up of:
Alorah
Female Aasimar (Angelkin) Sorceress (Celestial Bloodline) 7/Mythic Tier 1 Archmage
Arthas Sword of Ragathiel
Male Human (Taldan) Paladin 7/Mythic Tier 1 Guardian
Kelden Sunblade
Male Human (Keleshite) Cleric 7/Mythic Tier 1 Heirophant
So we will be looking for 2-3 more (including a roguish type).
The story point is halfway through part 2, Sword of Valor.
The characters are currently leading an army of Paladins to recapture the old dwarven city of Drezen deep in the Worldwound.
They are about to assault the source of the undead troopers power/eternal shade/free regeneration at its heart deep in the city boneyard.
Build is the twenty point buy, two traits, one of them campaign.
Character Level Seven/Mythic Tier One
Roll for hitpoints past first level, but reroll if you get less than halfhitdie+1.
16000 gp to outfit yourself (no more than 4000 on any one item).
No evil alignments. Neutral alignments will not be helpful to you, but not banned.
Unchained classes are available, Regular Summoner is banned.
Expect a whole lot of demons and undead as enemies.
Just a paragraph as to your personality, appearance and how you would fit into the combat team. Detailed backgrounds can wait until you're selected.
I'm looking for a fast turnaround, so decision by Monday (hopefully).

Dotting for interest!
First thoughts on my part would be a bard, archer inquisitor or dex slayer (with access to thief skills). Is either the paladin or cleric already bringing inspire courage due to archetypes? I'd rather not build up a character only to find his niche already filled by someone else.
Do they need a knowledge skill character or an archer next to someone with thief skills?
Likewise interested.
You've got Arcane, Divine and Guardian. Are you looking for people to take the other three campaign traits ideally or is some overlap (As long as its not too overlap) allowed?
Is stuff from Occult Adventures and Chronicles of Legends allowed? I'm a fan of the psychic classes and the Chronicles included some mythic stuff that worked well for them.
Thanks :)
Hi Camris,
I'd love to apply as well. Here's my pitch:
The character is a Dwarf cave druid. Different than most druids, he's not as much of being within jungles or forests, rather being a recluse, underground type. His family was shamed decades ago and he moved to hide, almost becoming a sort of hermit; the events on the Worldwound got him out of his old shelter, and recapturing Drezen serves as extra motivation - as he sees in it a chance to regain the glory of old and clean his family name. I'm thinking neutral good, probably worshiping Pharasma, with a particular grudge against undead, but not a lot of knowledge on outsiders.
I'm thinking going for Champion, eventually Dual Path with Hierophant. I might throw a level or two of ranger in the mix as well, but the focus of the character is shapeshifting. In terms of role, out of combat, he serves as a nature and underground guide of sorts. Not great in skills, but probably working the survival route. In combat he's more of a melee damage dealer with some defense, and escalating damage as he progresses. He favors fighting undead and aberrations, but might be fairly capable against the other AP enemies as well. My colleagues here at the forums can probably optimize a lot more, but I'm going more for something flavorful yet efficient enough to be useful.
In terms of behavior, he's the quintessential grumpy Dwarf with an attitude and a like for a good beer. In his core he's good hearted and underneath his whole facade he's a loyal and warm companion, and a disgraced hero trying to restore his family honor. He dresses as you'd expect from a hermit living in caves and underground for decades, and only recently back out under the sun of Golarion.
If you believe the idea might work for the group, I'll gladly offer a full build and background.
dotting with HUGE interest. I always wanted to get into WotR.
I assume Variant Multiclassing is allowed?
Regarding level requirements, at what level should we presume Ascension has happened?

All right, this is my concept submission - Vin, a female (part-)human Argent Voice Bard/Marshall.
If selected, I'll of course update it all into an alias and work out the build concept to detailed statistics. I think the broad build summary should contain enough game-mechanical information to base judgment on, but I'll happily answer any questions, of course! (And thanks for not requiring everything to be written out super-detailed up front. It's the worst feeling putting so much effort into statting or writing an elaborate backstory beforehand only to get shot down after).
Vin had always helped her mother run the family Inn at Nerosyan. As a crippled survivor of the fourth crusade, her mom had been forced into an early retirement while her father continued to be an active knight of the Flaming Lance. She grew up among the wartime stories of the earlier, more successful crusades alongside the more lighthearted ones of the performing storytellers, and drank them all in. And sometimes, if she was lucky, she would be allowed to sing alongside the musicians. But that alone wouldn’t sate her curiosity – she had to see the dangers of the worldwound herself, and know firsthand what creatures her parents and patrons were, or had been, constantly fighting against.
After weeks upon weeks of asking, she finally got her father to take her along on a routine patrol near the city – only because it would be good training, since everyone near the worldwound needed to be able to defend themselves. Of course, that was the exact routine patrol where everything went to hell, right into an ambush by Babau demons. It was then, screaming in fear of imminent death (which she would never admit to anyone!), that she discovered her voice had some sway over turning the demons away. Perhaps that was even the main reason some of the knights survived the encounter. Ever since, she was trained and consequently inducted into the order of the flaming lance, against her mother’s wishes. But Vin was adamant, feeling it was her duty despite knowing and seeing the risks.
During her training, she specialized in studying different fields of tactics, both on a grander scale and on a shorter, teamwork-focused level. She now hopes that by commanding troops from the front as an officer, she can put both the power of her voice and her knowledge of tactics and demons to the best possible use. When the call came out for the formation of a fifth crusade, she was one of the first to volunteer.
Often found reading from a collection of tomes and books she carries around in her backpack or tent, she would have been a stereotypical pretty librarian girl if not for that she also tended to dress in a battle-ready fashion. She’s rarely out of her chain shirt and tabard, and her buckler and rapier are never far away. Black hair and facial structure imply a Chelaxian human heritage, marred with a few scars here and there – one large one over her (intact) left eye. She tends to radiate good cheer and energy when engaged in active conversation or drills.
Vin is a cheerful young woman who does her best to keep the morale of the soldiers up, whether this is by direct encouragement, a song here and there or cooking one of her mother’s favorite dishes at the camp stove. She believes in that the key to victory lies in a strong sense of comradery, teamwork and clever fighting rather than brute strength or individualistic actions. Her drive is to perfect and improve upon successful tactics from the past (hence why she worships Irori as a god of self-realization and perfection), and hopes to be immortalized by becoming a strategist later students of war could learn from.
She is a good-aligned Argent Voice bard with the Marshall mythic path (possibly duel path-ed into champion) and would have the Child of the Crusade campaign trait. (If you prefer a different campaign trait, i could rewrite or expand her background to accomodate this).
An argent voice is a bard archetype that trades away certain less-used performances (not inspire courage) for new bard performances specifically active against evil outsiders, which seems to fit the campaign theme well. Some of these include the possibility to dispel magic of evil outsiders, reveal them if invisible, and, at high levels, grant all natural and manifactured weapons of all allies the Evil Outsider-bane property. She retains all Bard class abilities relating to knowledges and can easily function as the main knowledge character in the group. If needed, she could use a trait to get the disable device skill and pair that with Aram Zey’s focus to get trapfinding and act as the party rogue for thievery related issues.
In combat, her main focus is buffing her allies (including the summons from cleric) with inspire courage and good hope/haste. Mythic abilities I will probably take are lightning performance and inspired defense on the marshall side, along with some of the conditional ones that grant allies benefits if I hit an enemy. I’m thinking of making her dex-based and fighting with a buckler and one finesse weapon with mythic finesse to be a decent frontline combatant. I would like to find some improved way to emphasize teamwork and granting attacks to (melee) allies other than the Marshall’s order, either by somehow getting greater trip or dipping 1 level into Urban Id bloodrager for access to the opening strike ability.
I didn’t decide on her race yet – leaning towards half-elf, scion of humanity aasimar or human. I'm aware the group is already mostly human, but their favored class bonus for bard is just very hard to pass up ;)
I've always wanted to play a Shoanti Barbarian burn rider.
Reroll: 2,3,5,6
Since that didn't go well, I assume just 1/2+1 for those which didn't meet that level?
When I build a Higher Level Character I Prefer to create him level by level including outfitting. so here is 2nd Level Trace....
Just a paragraph as to your personality, appearance and how you would fit into the combat team. Detailed backgrounds can wait until you're selected.
Definitely interested. I'm thinking about a fighter 1/investigator (the rest) to fill your rogue-like needs.
Hello.
I am Jereru, and this is Thrall. He was in a defunct WotR game, which ended just aboutr the same place where you are now (maybe a bit before, I don't know exactly, but we were on the same mission). I'll easily adjust the mechanics and he'll be ready to go.

Kargoth fits the Ulfen stereotype so much it's scary, at least on the surface.
While it's true that he's brash and a braggart, it's also true that he has a keen mind that allows him to see things coming before they arrive.
Kargoth is a tall, incredibly fit, older Ulfen man whose hair has gone from black to black-peppered-with-gray.
Kargoth wears the armor his ancestor wore, a breastplate made of Mithral, and carries a greatsword and composite longbow.
Kargoth is going to be a high damage front line combatant. He will certainly be able to offer some support magic and abilities, but he is there it smash demons in the face all day, every day.
Mechanically, Kargoth is going to be a Battlehost Occultist. He wears the mithral breastplate of Kargoth the Conquerer, one of the first Linnorm Kings and his distant ancestor. This breastplate is his bonded item.

@GM, I skimmed through your Gameplay and Discussion thread and it made me wonder. Your group managed only 12 pages of gameplay in three years. I've seen and been in games that do that in a few months.
Are you planning on speeding up the game (to the usual 1/day frequency that is common on these boards) once the team is fully complete again?
@GM I have a couple of ideas, but to decide I first want to ask how you feel about the Omdura class from Niobe? https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/omdura/
He usually wears a heavy armor and carries a big sword, ready to chop off whoever's head. His grayish skin carries the marks of the ropes he was tied with when he was about to be sacrificed - the divine light of Iomedae saved him, but made the ties burn and he will be forever reminded of this moment. The strange birthmark in his right arm, in the shape of a lion, is thought to be proof that he's Iomeade's chosen, if the event at the sacrificial ritual is not enough.
Thrall brings some kind of divine support to the group, but his main role is damage dealing. He lacks the special effects of a Paladin and all, but buffing in combat as swift action and the mobility brought by his Vital Strike chain and the Fleet Warrior mythic feature later on allow him to be at 100% efectiveness from the very first round of combat.
Now some questions:
First, as you might have noticed, Thrall is an Arsenal Chaplain. That archetype is originally intended to come from the Molthune military, but the GM of his game allowed him to use it, representing a similar figure just in another army. Is that okay for you, or would you rather I change it?
Second, there are some achievements in-game, like being dealt the dragon's scale or fulfilling the campaign trait. Are the new characters supposed to have fulfilled them too, or are they just new additions who don't have access to that?
And third, Thrall has some feat selection which was based on the needs of his original campaign (specifically Craft Magic Arms and Armor). It can be easily changed if that niche is covered already or the players think it's not needed.
Is either the paladin or cleric already bringing inspire courage due to archetypes?
Do they need a knowledge skill character or an archer next to someone with thief skills?
Are you looking for people to take the other three campaign traits ideally or is some overlap (As long as its not too overlap) allowed?
Is stuff from Occult Adventures and Chronicles of Legends allowed? I'm a fan of the psychic classes and the Chronicles included some mythic stuff that worked well for them.
I assume Variant Multiclassing is allowed?
Regarding level requirements, at what level should we presume Ascension has happened?
You can see the scene starting halfway down this page.
It is assumed that any new recruits were fighting the demon assault somewhere along the wardstone barrier when it was destroyed, and the same energies surged through you as well, and you saw and felt the same things when you did.
Are you planning on speeding up the game (to the usual 1/day frequency that is common on these boards) once the team is fully complete again?
I've got an idea for a Ghoran Petal Ninja but Ghoran being 19 RP I wanted to check in if that was okay or if we could rework them slightly. If not I can make something different.
Do you use background skills?

What is 19RP? Do you mean Ability Score points? In this game you get 20.

While waiting for a reply to my question related to archetype (the other got answered already), I'll be rolling HP here (since most of the crunch was already done and I only need to adjust):
wow :P
So 8 (first level) +7+8+6+7+5+7 = 48 + Con bonus x7
|
Sure, just so you know ghoran is from inner sea Bestiary and here. All races have a race point total which they backtracked from their stat sheet entry as a guide to the power level of the race normal is about 9-14. But I’ll look at other options!

Thanks for answering! Just in case, I realized I might have misunderstood something in the initial post. Is it a hard requirement to fully stat out the build prior to the selection process, or is the information under the build section of my application enough for now?
I'd ask if everyone has a campaign trait associated with their mythic path, but I'll check that out myself in the gameplay thread (I have this bad habit of asking things about the other characters in recruitment threads only to realize I could have just looked it up in the aliases and saved the Gm the trouble...)
Edit: If anyone else is interested, it seems all current active characters have the recommended trait for their mythic path from the players guide.

Hey, hey, hey! About three years ago our Wrath of the Righteous campaign suffered from the DM moving to Miami as well as a husband/wife player tandem moving to Portland. ...We had just FINISHED recapturing Drezen with our little army of Paladins -- and we convinced a new Player to takeover DMing. Alas, we were only able to make it another couple months before it was just too much.
So I would love to retool my old PC and finish!
We were Gestalt, not Mythic, and the Point Buy for Abilities was greater than 20. But it won't be hard to rebuild.
.
Ozil Winterburn will be a multi-Class character. Lawful Good! A Peri-born Aasimar (with Fey Foundling). He will dip into Ranger, Paladin, Inquisitor, and more. He will wield the reach weapon, Dwarven Longaxe (re-Flavored as a 'Viking' Longaxe).
Think of him as a medium-BAB combatant that prefers to be just behind the frontline due to poor CON.
Jacked Bluff and Knowledge Skills PC. He intends on being able to make Knowledge and Diplomacy checks routinely, especially Planes. But my primary Gambit is to Bluff the Demons into believing that I'm an ally -- even if it's just for a couple rounds -- to get some more information before we kill them. Think of Ozil as a PC who will enter many encounters using guile, innuendo and other roleplaying gambits, Bluffing his way around Evil bad guys. Then, additional information in hand, nods to the other PCs and we kill them. (I do NOT Bluff good guys.)
If an uber-Knowledge Skills PC who LOVES to Bluff the bad guys, is a medium-BAB, reach weapon combatant, Multi-Class build, is something that sounds like the group would like -- I'll jump at the chance to rebuild Ozil Winterburn and join.
I wanna say we got in a good four (or so) sessions after we retook Drezen (with a new DM) before we stopped the campaign.
When HellKnights arrived a year later, the newlyweds fled to The Grungir Forest, where Ozil was conceived, and born actually in Nithveil. During the pregnancy a Peri blessed the unborn babe believing it was Destined for some Epic greatness. Born in Nithveil and raised in Trollheim, Ozil was taught how to be a Viking warrior by his father. But he was also taught extensive Planar Knowledge, as well as the ability to Bluff and be Diplomatic, by his Chelaxian mother. At 14 his father and mother were tragically found and killed by a HellKnight murder squad. Ozil fled The Lands of the Linnorm Kings and found himself in Varisia. After four years wandering among the gypsies, he traveled south to Cheliax for vengeance. In Westcrown, however, the now 19 year old Ozil Winterburn began having visions of The Worldwound. He felt it was a Call to Crusade, and even joined a cabal of Chelaxians bound for Absalom that would then travel to The Worldwound.
I have pretty good notes (I can dig up) on what we learned from the first half of the campaign and will PM the DM an extract of what we did upon request.
DN-Camris, do you want a full character build, or "Just a paragraph as to your personality, appearance and how you would fit into the combat team. Detailed backgrounds can wait until you're selected."?
Would a full build help your decision?
Yes, that's my question too! I added the concept and details for my Dwarf above, but if the GM wants to see the full character sheet and background, I can work on it and add here. I just kept on the concept only right now because I assumed [chosen people+GM+current players] would do some tinkering anyway for a more perfect fit.
Trace is ready if you decide to choose him
@GM I have a couple of ideas, but to decide I first want to ask how you feel about the Omdura class from Niobe? https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/omdura/
No problem! Makes it easier to choose. I'm going to actually roll up a new Digger Chandler for this. He's a character I've really wanted to play but never got the chance. Conman turned do-gooder through becoming a father figure for a young orphan.
Will let you know when this avatar is rerolled.
(Above is a generalization. I'll write up an official entry asap. Just got back from the airport.)
Quick/dirty rundown on Grey, my Seventh level Halfling Rogue/Trickster.
'course, sometimes...
sometimes even that don't work. Mostways that happens all you can do is
make sure yer right with judgment 'cause yer gonna be standin' in front of it soon.'
'Leastways that's what I thought That day I found myself the wrong side o' them fancy Marker stones you Mendev's put up.'
'Tha day I met her'
'Shrugs'
'Well, ever since I've been tryin' ta help others like she helped me. This's a bad place don't ever ferget it.'
At first glance, Grey looks like nothing so much as a ten-year-old boy. If he suspects you of ill will, you may not get a second.
Mechanically, Grey is oriented for sneak attacks & active skill trickery; not traps. He loses Trapfinding & Danger Sense for the ability to literally climb onto larger enemies without being grappled.
@GM I have a couple of ideas, but to decide I first want to ask how you feel about the Omdura class from Niobe? https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/omdura/
So if an Archetype is from one of the Player's Companions, it's not available?
Thanks for getting back to me GM.
I'd like to second the question about pace: the game is very interesting but the speed seems to be extremely slow and I worry that I wouldn't be able to stay invested. Is that something that you and the players want to change or not?
Secondly, are variant abilities for aasimar and tieflings on the table? I looked at Alorah but couldn't tell for sure. If they are allowed: . If not then please ignore :)
Hi DM-Camris and group.
Would this character be ok, build-wise? If so, I'll add personality and a small background story.
