Hi folks! My group and I are looking for a player or two to join our existing Reign of Winter play by post. The current group is a dwarven Fighter, A human Winter Witch and a human Rogue with the scout archetype, so a Cleric or an Oracle would fit in pretty nicely.
A couple things of note:
- Starting level is one, we aren't using exp, but leveling when the adventure dictates.
- We are using 20 point buy
- Two traits (one campaign, one other).
- Core races. I will consider APG races but no custom creations please.
- Starting Hp is max + constitution modifier + 5.
- Our group has a pretty relaxed posting pace.
- No Summoners or Gunslingers please.
Here is a link to the game thread if you are interested. DM Jam's Reign of Winter
I'm sure I'll realize that I forgot something important, but that is all for now.
Yep, we haven't made it very far yet, the PCs have really just started their quest.
As far as the relaxed posting pace, we might average once per day, but maybe not even that. We almost never seem to post on the weekends.
You might say our posting pace is.. glacial. (rim shot)
Healing during or after battle are both cool with me.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I would prefer two characters but one of them must have some sort of ability to heal.
I actually amthinking about this but I am in a reign of winter game already and don't want to take the experience away from someone else.
I'll keep this thread in mind though.
Any deities that work particularly well in the AP?
Any deities that work particularly well in the AP? Also, are you taking the first applicants, or is there a deadline to submit by?
I've got an idea for a barbarian and one for a bard which one would you prefer?

Any deities that work particularly well in the AP? Also, are you taking the first applicants, or is there a deadline to submit by?
I'd say Erastil, Gozreh and Desna would fit best, but really any non evil deity would be okay. There is a fair amount of woods and a TON of travel.
I figure I'll let the thread stay open for a day or two, to give folks a chance to get a character done. I may close early though if I get a ton of submissions.
I've got an idea for a barbarian and one for a bard which one would you prefer?
Sorry, I screwed up the original post. The dwarven character is a barbarian, not a fighter. So I suppose the bard is preferable of those two choices.
Understood, now that you mentioned fighter I think I have an idea for a fighter character as well, I'll post both and you can pick anyone you like.

Sounds good. I look forward to seeing them!

** spoiler omitted **...
Looking good! What deity does Thoros worship?
Ok, so I'm not sure if this is too close to what Forthepie has got, but my first Pathfinder character was an archer cleric who worshipped Erastil. I tweaked him a little, and I'm hoping he's different enough to be considered. He's more "punchy" and less "healy", but I envision him being a fair archer and powerful party buffer with the ability to heal a little in a pinch. Please see the details in my profile.

Looking good. I'm going to make a decision tonight so that we can get things moving. I'll try to decide by 8pm EST, or GMT -4.
Here is the fighter I mentioned, I am starting to reconsider that bard, I may present something else instead.
Hey all, after much thought, I would like to welcome forthepie's character Thoros Chandler and Wolfgang Rolf's character Franz Dilaan.
I appreciate everyone showing an interest!
I'll get some info up pretty soon on the story so far for Thoros and Franz.
Thanks for picking me DM Jam, I look forward to joining your game.
Everybody starts with max gold for their class.
My alias.
I'd like you two to work out a reason for traveling together. You could be investigating the cold or just be travelers passing through.
I'll check back in tomorrow and we can work out the rest of the details.
That works for me! I'll let the two of you work out the details of your relationship.
Thoros; I'm probably missing something, but why is your movement only 20?
Also, whenever you like, head on over to the discussion thread to introduce yourselves.
Probably encumbrance. 10 Strength is weaker. I am seriously considering moving some points from Charisma to Strength. In fact, I may do that. Is a mount needed? I am not sure what everyone else is using...
Non of the other PCs have mounts, though that doesn't mean that you can't. You should expect to face the normal complications of bringing a mount with you though, once you begin to encounter smaller, indoor spaces.
Okay, no worries, I was thinking if everyone had one, I could adjust some things to get a mule. I am probably going to adjust my str/cha scores, basically flip-flop them, no huge changes, but I'll run the changes through Hero Lab and reset my crunch tonight. I don't think I'll get to light encumbrance, but what can you do, gotta have stuff.
All set and finalized with Thoros and Franz?
Have you two decided on the traveling cleric/ body guard relationship?
Hmmmmm I'd rather go with the two travelers who've met on the road and decided that since they are going the same way its better to travel together, what do you think DM? Thoros?
works for me.
I am ready
I am ready too.
