Str: 15 (7pts) + 1 (lvl 4) + 2 (Belt) = 18
Dex: 12 (2pts) + 2 (Apron) = 14
Con: 12 (2pts) + 2 (Race) +2 (Belt) = 16
Int: 10
Wis: 15 (7pts)+ 2 (Race) + 1 (lvl 8) + 2 (Headband) = 20
Cha: 12 (2pts) - 2 (Race) + 2 (Headband) = 12
Spent most of my gold on stat items. This is because defense domain gives Barkskin and clerics can cast Magic Vestment. If chosen will give the gear an audit to see if I made any mistakes. But pretty proud on getting the stats to where they are. :)

Equipment:
* Masterwork Agile Breastplate (550 gold)
* Liquid Glass Warhammer +1 (2392 gold)
* Belt of Physical Might +2 Strength and Constitution (10k)
* Headband of Mental Prowess +2 Wisdom and Charisma (10k)
* Ring of Protection +1 (2k)
* Apron of the Careful Chemist (+2 enchantment bonus to dexterity) (5200)
* Pearl of Power lvl 1 (1000)
* Vest of Endure Elements (1000)
* Holy Symbol Tattoo (100)
* Fighter's Kit with masterwork backpack (57)
Gold: 33000 - 550 - 2392 - 10000 - 10000 - 2000 - 5200 - 1000 - 1000 - 100 - 57 = 701 gold left over
Did this as an accounting to ensure that I've gotten it all correct.

Yesult Garrett |

I haven't finished a feat at seventh level nor made solid my teamwork feat, nor my gear totally because I want to tailor to group needs and tweak it and honestly if picked I would like to work on it and not do it twice. If you have further questions for me let me know. My plan is to use shield other and to use reach Rods for party emergency heals and heal myself with empower at six as a cleric of healing sub domain restoration so I can remove various conditions and also have a standing remove disease while buffing the party to increase party output. I have a battle herald command I need to pick that is best for the group but I have +3 inspire courage for 24 rounds with lingering performance so that may last all day til rest.

Mad Marvin Dundlerock |

Mad Marvin is...well...mad. He was a former soldier for Janderhoff. The hammer emblem from the Suit of Hammers in the Harrow deck is seen emblazoned on his armor and shield. They were gifts from the King because he alone survived from an ambush of his Battalion.
The truth of that day, he has never spoken of. But whatever happened (I know...hehe!), the former soldier swore off weapons, civilization, and war. He chose to live as a hermit in the Mindspin mountains. It has been decades alone, running, hiding, surviving.
After a decade of this life, Mad Marvin began hearing voices about. He has never really seen anyone, but he has listened.
Over the intervening years, the Hermit begin being able to manifest spells, had Revelations, and the dwarf even has learned to tap into the Positive Energy Plane in many various ways.
Just a teaser for the Trailer for THE MOVIE?
Good luck everyone! It's funny. I had an All Orc Giant Slayer PbP end suddenly 3 years ago. We just started Book 3...lol!

Mad Marvin Dundlerock |

Mad Marvin turns his frosty blue eyes around at the voice. The Hermit dwarf not a stranger to strange sounds and whispers on the wind. Glancing about he nods at the mention of a possible Future.
Be not go'n back ta da Dark!
He mutters over and over; as his booted feet find purchase on the winding trail toward the strange sounds of battle....

I have finished Tallying the votes. Again, thank you for such great submissions. I know it was not easy for me, and I suspect it was not easy for the others. It was not a unanimous decision, but the winner with the lowest (i.e. best) ranking is...

Thank you again for your submissions!
@Sven: Please check in on the discussion tab and I will work you into the next encounter.
Please update your tag line with the following:

The initial post mentions you wanting a balanced party with the classic roles of warrior, divine, arcane and skill. Is this still the goal?
If so, for which role are you looking for? The oracle is probably the divine, but the ranger could be warrior or skill, while the bard could be arcane or skill.

DM RichD |

@Sir Longears: I asked the group if they wanted a specific class i.e. another fighter-type class and they rather keep it open. BTW-The Ranger/Rogue is an archer.
@Morthos von Janderhoff: Sounds interesting!
@Djack: While I like the standard books, I think the group is a little more open than I am, and since they will have a say in the final selection, I say go for it.

Sven the Mazebreaker |

The party's oracle here. Just popping in to say that our GM has been accommodating of my build, for which I am very grateful. An (he allowed spell finesse, which changed my casting stat to wisdom, though it doesn't change anything else such as class abilities). For Sven, he is a battle mystery oracle with the reclusive curse. So, he's a vital striking buffer. Friendly spells will only reliably work on him out of combat.
Just to reiterate, I personally take no offense and feel that no toes are stepped on when people put forward builds. My personal philosophy is that it is most important to put forward something that you are happy to play and can see yourself using for a very long period of time.

Grymm Bloodstone |

Ooh, I just saw this and I love dwarves! I would love to repurpose one of my dwarven aliases. Question for DM:
My character, Grymm Bloodstone, is a Fighter, which is an allowed class, but his archetype of Mutation Warrior is not, as it is from the Advanced Class Guide, so that would not work? Is that correct?

Ollie-Twist |

I have a similar question about Stonelord Paladin, it sounds like sources are maybe a little more flexible at this point, but I'd still like to ask before I get too attached to a build idea. No is a perfectly fine answer, that'll just put me back to a point of having to decide between paladin and fighter.

Sven the Mazebreaker |

Just jumping in again because I saw the questions...from the first page, our GM had a running list of approved submissions. They included a stonelord paladin, a forgemaster cleric, empyreal sorcerer...etc. And just now he said "While I like the standard books, I think the group is a little more open than I am, and since they will have a say in the final selection, I say go for it."

KoolKobold |

Definitely dotting for interest, in spite of it being almost last minute. I had a stonelord paladin dwarf I always wanted to play, but if that’s not available I can think of something else.
Edit: Just saw one of the characters is a stonelord paladin. I’ll think of something different-perhaps a barbarian?
One more question-it looks like Elephant in the Room rules are not applied to this campaign. Is that correct?

Djack Nymball |

How about a Flowing Monk <<< Link from Ultimate Combat?
Currently single class old school monk focused on moving and tripping (giants).
:)
Not sure if Unchained classes are available. But that's the core concept.
Could multi-class unchained rogue for some more potency.

Okay, I've finished up my character for my submission: Gilde Marbleheart, Stonelord Paladin of Torag. I'll make an alias if accepted, and if you'd much prefer a statblock over the myth-weavers sheet, I will happily put that together. She's still got 2300gp to figure out what to do with, but everything else is finished.
She remembers the attack well enough. Too young to know what was happening, she still knew danger when she saw it, and knew what the sounds of pitched combat outside her family's home meant. She might not have known what the danger was or where it was coming from or why, but her parents each reached for what they had for weapons and told her to find somewhere to hide, and she knew better than to argue or disagree. Their house was small, without many places for a young dwarf to tuck herself away, but she was able to find something, a small stone chest, not containing much and only barely small enough to fit herself inside. She remembers finding the stone comforting, pressed in on her on all sides more like an embrace than a coffin, and she remembers hearing what she's sure was a voice, instructing her to keep still, and keep hidden, and stay brave, and that it would ensure she could be protected.
It was hours before the response from Janderhoff reached that little outpost, and by that point the attack was well and truly over. That small house had collapsed, rubble and debris hiding the stone chest, but as they sifted through the wreckage, a paladin of Torag found the girl's hiding place. They explained she would be safe, that they would take her with them. And so, back to Janderhoff they went, for Gilde to be raised in the temple.
Gilde's adoptive parents never shied away from what happened. She might have been young, but she clearly remembered too much to try and keep the truth from her. Instead, they made sure to keep her strong, they trained her in combat as they had been trained, taught her how to cripple an enemy's defenses and means of attack, and how to defend herself against an enemy so much larger. She listened with rapt attention to their martial training, and to the lecturing of the priests, becoming as devoted to Torag over time as the clerics and paladins surrounding her.
Eventually, she came to understand the voice she'd heard that day, hiding in the chest, as Torag, and she found, strangely, that while the voice in the stone has never happened since, she still had some strange connection with the stone and metal surrounding her. Its presence comforted her, and she understood its structure easily. She hadn't heard the voice in the stone again, but she didn't need to, for how easily it still seemed to tell her what it would need.
She's been gone from Janderhoff for some time now, as much to see the world as it is to make real use of her abilities. She's been hearing, in bits and pieces at first and then in awed rumor, about growing trouble in the mountains, about giant attacks and a gathering army, and the deeds of a group, all setting out to hold back the threat. Gilde's not sure, entirely, how she came to the decision to seek them out. Almost as if one didn't need to be made, as soon as she'd heard the details, she was preparing to leave.
(I've also got a quick sketch of her here!)

Ingrid Stoneheart |

Hello, I would like to submit Ingrid. I have unfortunately been going back and forth on these two builds for her - They're not too different in focus, and if I had to pick, I would probably lean more towards the Cleric one (as it's what I started with). But figured I might leave both here, in case the group has a stronger preference than me. If you'd rather it be one build per person, though, please consider the Cleric one.
With not much time to ask and change things before the deadline, and unsure how to handle potentially crafted equipment, I left her under the normal WBL with magic items at full price - and if you would prefer to avoid magic item crafting altogether, then please consider the paladin build, as that's simpler to change and I have two replacement feats thought out already.
As for my timezone, I'm in British Summer Time right now, so GMT+1.
Ingrid stands at around 4ft tall, with a sturdy build, typical for a dwarf, with strong arms hone by years of work at her forge, combat training, and battles. Her long brown hair shows hints of red and is carefully braided, with small expertly crafted metal decorations in several places. She has bright green eyes that shine with determination and purpose, and is usually wearing her intricately crafted armor, one of her proudest achievements, with her trusty warhammer normally at her waist.
Ingrid comes from a long line of Janderhoff defenders, with one of her most famous ancestors being Dolgrin Stoneheart, a legendary smith and giantslayer. Inspired by tales of her family's heroics, Dolgrin's in particular, Ingrid became a fighting priestess of Torag, her skill in crafting weapoms, armor, and magical accessories only matched by her might on the battlefield, a terror to most of the enemies she fought. When she isn't out on a mission or focusing on her crafting back at Janderhoff, she makes sure to travel the surrounding areas, alert for rumours of anything that might pose a threat to Janderhoff.
Recent news of a giant's army being rallied has gotten her concerned for the safety of her city, and when news of a group of brave dwarves who were standing against the horde reached her, she knew her place was at their side, and prayed to Torag to lead her to them, to fulfill her duty to her city, her people, and her family's history.

Realized I forgot to include timezone - I'm also in EST, but I work early mornings so my schedule winds up skewing a few hours earlier than most people's.

DM RichD |

Yes, As Sven our Oracle pointed out, while I am a fan of the standard material, the group is more wanting for interesting concepts that people want to play, so I say go for what you want to play! They will have input in the final selection so create what you want! The only rule that is non-negotiable is that it must be a dwarf.

Djack Nymball |

Here is Dorn Hammercrest <<< Profile Link.
Except for Ki Pool (which he isn't all that dependent on), he's not resource constrained.
Gave up Trapfinding (and all that). He's focused on movement and motion. His AC is exemplary and he packs a wicked punch/kick/flurry (2d6+7 ea), especially after he's tripped his enemy.
+22 tripping giants, I believe.
By tripping the enemy prone, he effectively de-buffs, giving -4 to AC or allowing his melee teammates a +4 bonus to Hit (however you'd like to look at it). Also increases the chance of AoO's (as they get up & as they fall with some feats). It adds up quick.
He's very dynamic. He's got your back, front and anything else that needs getting.
Good luck everyone!
