Ok for the Gold, Take half of what your max would be. I looked at what I wrote and I think I confused people.
Oh! Ok, yeah, I misunderstood. So, I would've had another 30 gold to work with. I don't know if I can edit my original post, but I'll at least fix my alias momentarily. Thanks!

This is someone for another game who didn't get picked so. Might as well try again! Went with 25 point buy, and will roll for all the HPs from there.
As for her backstory? Yai was originally supposed to be a secret weapon made by the Riftwardens for the purpose of extradimensional entity slaying. Very few extraplanar entities were outright immune to acid, so an acid mage would be the best sort of mage to deal with them en mass provided they had enough oomph. To this end, her mom and dad (among others) got paired off by the Riftwarden higher ups to produce a kid. Yai is the result of this process, and due to some strange arcane experiments has wound up having both of the bloodlines of her parents with a positively explosive potential for destruction inside of her. The downside is that since her parents died and left her an orphan when she was less than a month old, nobody ever actually had a chance to tell her any of this.
She's a well-adjusted and cordial person who tries to make friends with everyone, but who says her magic is a little bit weaker than most people. She can't cast as many spells as the other mages she's met, and figures she's just something of a sport sorcerer who is going to wind up as cannon fodder on the front lines dying to protect someone who actually matters.
She's here because she isn't fond of all of herself, but she sure as heck likes other people enough to protect them on the front lines of a crusade!
My alias is complete now. I edited the crunch a little (mostly just to make it a little clearer/more specific, I didn't make any actual changes) and finished all the fluff. I guess I did edit the fluff that was already up a little too. To make updating your list easier: my campaign trait is Child of the Crusades; my anticipated mythic path is Marshal; and, I'm basically a buffer/support character, really probably looking for one of the 2 'extra' slots (though if you want to sort me into the 4 base rolls I guess I'd be martial/melee).
Good luck with your selecting, DM Raltus! I'm anxious to see what party you assemble.
Hi all! Always wanted to participate in this adventure, thematically it is one of my most favorite in PF. I hope I'm lucky!
Also, two words about my character, with whom I have something in common. I am very inspired by the Hellknight Order of the Godclaw. This Order was founded during the First Crusade, and its founders were adventurers, who rallied during the battles against the common enemy. It was the five heroes of different talents that professed various lawfull religions, and they have found strength in the unity of their aspirations in goal to stop the spread of demonic infection. Feel, this sounds like a separate Adventure Path ? As said in the book about the Hellknights, in camps between battles they arranged a hot theological discussions, and in the crucible of debates and deeds was born the Godclaw as Pantheon and as Order. I always wanted to play an acolyte of this Order in some AP, the benefit that for it was written special oracle's mystery, and I think that to follow the route of the founders of the order - that's the best way for my character and for me!
So, here's my character submission, Valeria Barosi:

Her story doesn't look too fancy or dramatic. Valeria grew up in a family of two hellknights. On the maternal side, her roots go back to the two (from five) founders of the order - paladin of Aroden (and later, Iomedai) Seldinin Choaz and his wife, Sarcorian godcaller Renarallie Dinyar-Stareye. She knew who she will become when she grows up since childhood, and after graduating from secular teaching in the school for noble maidens in Egorian, she enthusiastically returned to her native fortress. There, for the years fanatically following all the traditions and requirements of the Order and gradually transforming herself into a living machine (as the Hellknight should be), she didn't notice as she slowly drain herself too. The years of drill led to a serious illness, which strangely was powerless to handle even the best healers of the Order. After several months of fever, when it seemed that a promising future knight Valeria leaves the world of the living, everything abruptly stopped. Still weak in body Valeria announced that urgently needs to go to Mendev, to walk the path of her ancestors. She claimed that she had a vision in which the familiar metal fingers pointed to the North, and thence oncoming huge as storm clouds hordes of demons. Finding the story plausible, as well as having the desire by all means to support such a struggle against chaos, which is conducted by Mendev, Lictor Resac Ountor gave the nod on a personal mission of armiger - with the condition of regular reports.
So the story began...

Dawn of the Final Day

Hi. Kind of a late entry, sorry about that. This is Olesence Morgethai, an elven swashbuckler who is intensely proud of her family name and stubbornly trying to overcome the taint of a tragic event. A 20 point buy with max hit points, using exposed to awfulness as the campaign trait. Good luck and have fun in your decision making process. And thanks for the consideration.
In her youth, her parents choose to engage in trade in remote areas. Unfortunately, Olesence journeyed with them on one such venture. To the Worldwound. A demon tore free of the wardstones, killing many... too many... Little Olesence was found a day later, barely alive without a scratch. She lingered for weeks, before waking with no memory of what happened. At least while awake.
All her life she has tried to overcome the night terrors. Striving to no longer scream awake in sweat soaked sheets. To no longer claw her arms to ribbons in hopes of waking. Half a human lifespan has built so many walls in her mind that the raging pain and horror is.. manageable. But dreams are not her only problem. She had lived, somehow, through that demon attack. A little girl, alone. No one knows exactly what happened and that leaves her people worried. They see her as tainted. No accomplishment has stopped those whispers or sidelong glances. Even training to serve against Treerazer's minions hasn't stopped them. Decades of feeling like those that should love her, truly detest her, has made her come to a conclusion. The problem started at the Worldwound. The only place she will get cleansed is back in that accursed place.

Astra's first memories are of the Worldwound and the monsters and fiends that dwell there. She remembers nothing before waking up in the middle of a blasted plain and surrounded by gibbering monsters that looked upon her hungrily. That would have been the end of the young girl if not for a fateful encounter that day. A hauntingly beautiful woman struck down the monsters with a hail of arrows and then carried Astra back to safety, leaving her in a vale somewhere close to Kenebres when a patrol came by. The soldiers took her back to the crusader city where she's lived since.
Ten years have passed since that day. Astra has had to struggle to survive, but the memory of the woman and how she clung to the butterfly-shaped pendant she wore stayed with her and gave her the courage to keep going. It was far from easy since it was easy to see the fiendish blood that flowed through her veins. her eyes glow in the dark, her smile reveals the small fangs in her mouth, and there's the tail that few ever saw since she normally hid it under a sash about her waist.
She tried to be a good person, but at every turn she found that she was denied the one thing she wanted above all else, companionship and family. No matter what she did, or how much she helped, she was eventually turned away from everyplace she'd tried to make home. A few years after her arrival, she broke down crying in an alleyway, only to hear her voice telling her it would be okay. Looking up, she saw that she had a twin who wrapped her in a hug and calmed her down. Shortly after, she discovered she the ability to use magic and could even summon other things for a short time when Stella, her eidolon, wasn't around.
No longer alone, Astra found that she could better weather the trials and tribulations that came her way. Stella became Astra's shield, and Astra became Stella's voice. The two became known around Kenebres as people to hire when an extra pair or two of hands were needed. Still, the townsfolk look upon them with distrust, and wonder when it will be that the twins will turn on them.
Petite with black hair, arctic blue eyes, and porcelain skin. Both Astra and Stella are identical, and the only way to tell them apart is to see which of them has a tail.
No one has asked about feat taxes so I assume we aren't using them.
Bummer.
1 hour 22 minutes remain, I will take monday to decide on the 6 person party.
Good luck to everyone!
Yes, good luck everybody! I really do not envy Raltus, having to narrow down all the fantastic applications in this thread.
Definitely some tough competition.
Good luck to all.
Good luck everybody!
I am still deliberating, you guys really didn't make this easy
Fingers still crossed :)
The harder the choice is to make, (hopefully) the more fun the GM gets out of seeing what the players do.
Good luck everyone.
I guess we did our job well. Good luck all!
*On pins and needles*
At least there's this irrelevant little football game on TV tonight to distract me.
Roll Tide, Roll! That's all I'm gonna say.
*as if I needed another reason to be on pins and needles.*
Rollin', rollin', rollin. Keep them Dawgies rollin'. Rawhide!
Very one-sided so far.
Edit: Not specifically a Georgia fan, BTW, just seemed appropriate.
Heh, can't be too mad. It's just a game after all. Just want my Alma Mater to do well.

Please all report to the Discussion thread. To everyone else, this was SO hard to do. I am thinking of opening a second table, please stay tuned.
Thank you. :)
Can’t wait to finally get out of those caves.
Good luck to those who made the cut! Fingers crossed for the second table.
I honestly didn't expect to make it. I hope everyone finds a good game to play their characters in.
Congratulations to the select few. ;)
Congratulations!
Also staying tuned. :-) (That kind of has a double meaning with this alias. ;-))

I'll stay in touch. Still hoping for a place for a Hellknight in this Crusade!
Congrats!
Congratulations to everyone picked, have fun!
Thanks for the selection, really glad to get in with such great entries!
Congrats to those chosen and thanks for the consideration.
DM Ratlus, while I'd love to have a second shot on a second table I'd say please only do so if you are sure you can run two games :).
Well done to all that got selected!
Good Day All,
we have recently lost a few members of our party to the Horrors of the World Wound. I am presently looking for 2 players possibly 3.
I am going to be strict on recruitment in there are 3 campaign traits that you can choose from for your background.
Rift Warden Orphan
Stolen Fury
Chance Encounter
The Character build stats are on the first page, we have just hit level 3 and are on our way to Defender's Heart. We are looking for a mage as ours just was lost, a trap finder/disabler would be a benefit as well.
I'll make a void school wizard with the riftwarden orphan trait for this I think. Though I could also make a half-orc scarred witch doctor.
What wealth are we starting with?
Hello everyone. A quick note: the party currently consists of:
Dwarven Aasimar Hospitaler Paladin VMC Life Oracle (Guardian)
- Melee Tank/Healer
Aasimar Divine Hunter (Guardian)
- Ranged DPS
Tiefling Shadow Mystery Oracle (Hierophant)
- Divine Caster
We will do Wealth By level so 3000 gold.
No more than 40% can be spent on 1 item.
If I go wizard I'm considering going into the Riftwarden prestige class. I would then take favored prestige class and eventually prestigious spellcaster 3 times. Riftwarden seems extremely fitting for this campaign, especially given the background trait for my character. I got a couple questions about this though. First, what do you think of the idea, is it ok to offset the drawback in this way? Secondly, can I key the counterport abilities of intelligence rather than charisma (like is done for the Planar Channel ability)?
