Also figured out what my submission will be. Halfling fighter, dumb as a post, thinks he is a paladin of pomade. Will take the wars longer trait and be a sling fighter.
Will take the trait that lets you cast a level 0 spell (prestidigitate to always have well coifed hair) and the one that gives UMD so e can read his holy texts of pomade which will double as things like acrolls of bless or shield.
Stats something like
14
17
12
7
12
14
Point blank and precise
Would be fun

trying to decide if i should actually submit my halfling slinger wanna be paladin.
DMDM is that idea too goofy for your tastes? A bit of the anti-thesis of Bref, heart of gold, generous to a fault, immaculately clean. It will be tough going for a couple of levels due to the low STR but once he starts getting feats it will pick up. Deadly, Aim Rapid shot, Weapon Training Etc.

Apparently he posted the recruitment on Friday, and it closed this morning. I did not even know it was there, not that I could have done much over the weekend as I was at TotalCon from Friday afternoon until late yesterday. Oh well.
DMDM - if you are still accepting submissions from us evil types, let us know and I will get one together this afternoon.

What is that quiet chant that I hear?
tpk . . .tpk . . .tpk
Wait, it is getting louder.
tpk . . . tpk . . . tpk
Oh, yeh, I can hear it loud and clear now.
TPK . . . TPK . . . TPK
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (9) + 32 = 41

Yeah I worked 12hour shifts this Friday Saturday and Sunday so I wouldn't have had time either.
| Judge Tohram Quasangi |
Ah man, I forgot I have the Potent Message mythic power. I could just slip in how terrible DMDM is so that all the applicants will pull out. Should leave the slots open for us to just slip in.

I have a question for you all, since y'all are all pretty experienced at pathfinder.
I need some help building/understanding a tiny, not diminutive, character based off, say a male Tinkerbell fey. I am trying to keep it equal to the base races.
It would be a fighter type but I am not real familiar with tiny creatures in combat. I do know that unless they have a reach weapon, they have to enter the opponent's square and eat an AoO, so he will need acrobatics.
Armor is also an issue, I have read that tiny creatures only get half the AC adjustment from armor, making a chain shirt only +2 to ac.
Any ideas?

Tiny sized creatures can use dexterity in place of their strength for CMB. I'm not sure how much that helps with size penalties though.. You're going to do drastically less from weapon damage (for example, a greatsword is 1d8). You do get a ton of bonuses to hit and to AC from your size.
Underfoot (requiring dodge and mobility) might help with closing into an enemy's square. It gives an AC bonus that stacks with mobility too.
Magic items might be a problem too. Bags of holding and most rods are fixed sizes and weights.
You'll have a b onus to stealth and fly for size. I think all normal weights of weapons/armor is 1/4 of that for a medium size person and all other items (rope, etc) is size 1/8 the weight. Cost is the same.
| Edmin Al'Roth |
I am not real worried about the base weapon damage, his long bow will only do 1d4, long spear (reach) 1d4,scimitar 1d3, but he will hit a lot using +2 size + high Dex + base attack. He would base his weapons/feats on high crit and agility agility.
Maybe a muliy class ranger/slayer something else build.

Look at the Mouser archetype of the Swashbuckler. Swashbucklers are by nature dex based. You actually end up doing decent damage with the swashbuckler bonuses that kick in at level 3. Also, if you drop two feats into Combat Expertise and Butterfly Sting, you can set up your normal sized companions for lots of crits since you will be wielding a rapier (most likely).
Remember, with a swashbuckler, you will be using your Charisma to qualify for combat expertise, and any other Int requiring feats.
You could take 1 or 2 levels of Slayer or Ranger to grab the extra combat feat and the Favored Enemy abilities. It really depends on what you want. With that size, and likely the ability to fly, you are going to be a stealth god.
As far as armor goes. I would start with a chain shirt. But, what you really need is a Wand of Mage Armor, and then Bracers of Protection once you can afford them. Realistically, a Wand of Mage Armor with 50 charges is the same defense as a suit of full plate, but without the weight and dex constraints.
I think that the Mouser really fits what you are looking for. I could swear there was another archtype, or feat, that allows small or smaller players to enter another's square, but I do not recall what it is.

Just put the macros you want in a spoiler on the main campaign page. I do not think that it recognizes the [dice] there, so you should be able to just cut and paste it.

As long as Edmin keeps giving Jax flanking on foes, these sisters will melt. We've killed 2 so far and between Edmin and Jax at least two more should drop this round.

Got a little flattened over the weekend -- combination of work and mild sickishness. I'm away from home for six weeks in Beirut, Lebanon, and I think I'm just a bit homesick and under the weather. Spent the weekend mostly offline with a Breaking Bad marathon (Go, Mister White! Science!), but should be back in a day or so.

(Walter White starts off as Lawful Neutral, in Season Two he's now well into Lawful Evil territory, some regrets notwithstanding, and I'm pretty sure he's going to end up Neutral Evil. Skyler is Lawful Good -- annoying sometimes perhaps, but Lawful Good. Jesse looks to stay Chaotic Neutral throughout, and Tuco of course is pure perfect CE.)

I haven 't seen that show at all. Take your time though! Between juggling family, house hunting, job hunting, work, running my own game, trying to have kids, interviews and starting up a second Masters I've been swamped.

I was listening to the radio this morning and thought of you DMDM. About a new movement to combat government corruption in Lebanon (though it seems to me everyone is always battling government corruption so how new could it really be. But thats not the point) . There is an app now that lets you anonymously report when you are asked to pay a bribe for something by a government agency. Was really interesting.

I have a Pfs character that I get to start at level 5 and I can't decide what to make. Thinking about a blade bound gnome, or a bolt ace or a druid maybe any thoughts?
Currently I have a
18 human bard
9 human rogue (scout)
4 detective bard/4 grenadier alchemist/2sleepless detective human
4 human wander/weapon master monk
4 Halfling bloodrager (undead bloodline)
Side note the bloodrager is a really fun class. When dmdm kills me again I might make one to replace ulp
| Judge Tohram Quasangi |
Swashbuckler is a lot of fun at that level, or at least it appears it would be.
Not sure if it is PFS legal, but I just discovered the druid (goliath druid) archetype. It looks like a lot of fun. You get to become a large humanoid, and can cast Enlarge Person on yourself. So, I am pretty sure that as of 6th level, you will be able to change form and then enlarge yourself (you get Enlarge Person) into a huge humanoid. If you do not mind a lack of magic on your weapon, you can even cast Shillelagh on your club to make it gargantuan sized (4d6), or you can focus on combat maneuvers and just tackle everything.

Magus is one of those classes, like barbarian, that I have never been able to get any interest in. Don't know why, but something just seems off with both classes so that I have never taken the time to fully understand them and play a character.
| Judge Tohram Quasangi |
Well, the fact that Jax did 500 points of damage last round does make me wonder whether the class is balanced. But, maybe I have just not played in enough high level campaigns.
| Jax Naismith |
Keep in mind how many resources he spent though. Two spells, a 1/day arcana and buffed with haste and heroism. Edmin pulls in around 250ish with expending no resources each round.
