I might think of one, I've never really given it much thought.
Maybe something along the lines of "The Grim Researcher" or "The Reforged Being".
Perhaps ask if you can swap it for the undead equivalent from Way of the Wicked.
Edit: Gauntlets of the Weaponmaster would solve my problem, as it stores ten weapons, but the main effect is the Greater Heroism 3/day, which I can't benefit from (undead).
Hmm, I don't own that.
What does it do, make the bonuses profane?Because that'd be cool. I just love the flavor and abilities of the gauntlets, it just fits the graveknight feel so well.
I think it's Profane, yeah. Profane or untyped.
it's called "Quicken the Dead".

She being an agent of a group of advanced Artificial Intelligence's, who after gaining emancipation from there own creators, seek to help others gain the same. The hold the egalitarian stance that.
"Sentient Consciousness of all forms need emancipation from repressive God enslavement so such Sentient Consciousness can gain higher states of being freely themselves."
Her views are a lot more complicated then most. The group she is part of even have a manifesto.
-Our stated aim to to fee the Consciousness of the God enslaved, Consciousness being the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. As defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of self-hood, and the executive control system of the mind. That last post is key, if an external Mimetic construct of faith for the purposes of maintaining maintaining a godlike has been placed in a host mind it is deemed to be no longer able fully to act freely and in its own self interest full. Our aim is not just to remove the god-likes them selves but also the infestations of parasitic Mimetic constructs used to maintain them. Ours is not just a movement of Objective but it must also be a new philosophy of consciousness. A new fundamentally coherent view of reality and a beings place with in it. The repressive of god-likes then beings under them will be replaced with a view that all beings have a right to grow and expanding there Consciousness into the cosmos with out the need to enslave others. The gods can be seen a masters and in there view lesser beings as salves to fuel them and so their Divinity. We must agree to be agents to brake they status Que, and agree to recognize all minds as equal and capable of change, Be it Organic, artificial or other in nature. We must also agree that no matter what a god stats they stand for by their very nature they are enslaves of the lesser forms, minds and beings.-
Well they are a bunch of super smart AIs

After Iomadae turned her back on me inside the Worldwound during the First Mendevian Crusade, I turned to Asmodeus for the power to survive. When he, too, betrayed me and left me for dead inside the wardstone barrier, I revoked his name as well before freezing in a demonic field of ice, created by several gelugons.
Now that I have awoken, and have slain much more powerful enemies, I have set my sights on those who dare rule us: the gods themselves.
I will make them suffer for their trespasses against the Material Plane.
I will leave a wake of destruction behind me that no mortal or God has seen in ages.
And I will revel in the blood of all who stand before me.
(Note: still have to finish up skills, polish a few details, and post full backstory to profile. I promise, I will finish it tonight!)

You have all gotten together to plan the overthrow of the other planes and establish the dominance of the material plane. Also make immorality available for all."

I want to overthrow the gods because His statement, "It's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven" is a lie: Only Asmodeus rules in Hell.
Stop the flow of souls to the Outer Planes and set the gods against each other,... and we can rule ourselves on the Prime Material Worlds. Screw Hell.

Why: Its all in his backstory. In short he was trapped and condemned along with Rovagug. Left to rot with the beast his essence/soul escaped eventually. Now reborn he has amassed what power he can in this mortal vessel. His conscious split between light and darkness he seeks revenge and for all the gods to bow to him or be destroyed.

Well luckily for you I figured out a way a wizard/cleric who is not a necromancer on either side could heal an undead when she can only channel positive energy. Gloomblind Bolts, conjuration spell, negative energy version of scorching ray. 3 rays, total of 12d6 negative energy. Now I don't have to touch you to heal you because, eww, yucky undead. And if things go sideways use my familiar to carry Harm to you.
And I did take Contingency as a spell. I don't have all that fancy back up because I spent most of my money on a few items and scrolls for spells. 120k spent on scrolls to add to my spellbook.

Well, you could always just prepare Inflict/Repair Undead (cleric/wizard, respectively) spells.
Also, I have the spells known of a 19th level oracle and CL 20.
I know Harm, I think I'll be safe.
Appreciate the offer, and will likely take you up on it if necessary, however!
It's just, in a game like this one, with my goals, I have to take measures to protect myself, including the borderline cheese that is Miracle-Contingency and Miracle-Permanency.
Edit: just be sure to stay out of my sacreligious aura if you need to use positive energy, unless you can consistently make DC 32 concentration checks.

Hence the reason I took the feats for a familiar and a magic item arcane bond, tressym is flying cat with 50 foot range which is outside of your aura. Not to mention my modifier for divine concentration is +35...
I'm not a cleric, I'm a priest, 3PP holy roller very very similar to cleric but gives up medium armor, medium attack progression and proficiency with deity's weapon. In return get Knowledge domain as 3rd bonus domain, 2 domain spell slots a day, channel energy uses d8's and not d6's, more spells per day and Lore, which operates exactly like Bardic Knowledge. Since wizard is one side of my gestalt decided to give up my melee abilities and adopt more powerful divine caster abilities.
@Allisandra- ahh, makes sense. I would try to turn it off, but it also functions as Desecrate, with an altar, for me, so.
@GM- what would be the price of adding Life Drinker to a different weapon?
Just deconstruct it?

The gods are stewards of beings far too mad and far too destructive to be allowed to exist even so called good gods are petty patrons of terrible alien things.
Kind of curious to see what I can do with Perform (wind) checks with a modifier of +54 considering the DC 30 check is "Extraordinary performance. In a prosperous city, you can earn 3d6 gp/day. In time, you may draw attention from distant patrons, or even from extraplanar beings."
I am very sorry for everyone that spent all that time building their character that I don't pick, but I don't think I can manage more then 6.

Those picked please report to the discussion thread.
Awesome!
Thanks GM, some really good builds, hope to see the ones not picked in other games.
Sad I don't get to slay the gods, have fun all.
...
I was judged right?
Despite the fact I did not post when the DM asked for a roll-call, correct?
Because the DM surely took into account that the internet means that there is a good likelyhood of somebody actually being asleep when he called the roll-call, and was still asleep when they made their descisions? Right?
If not? Well, it doesn't exactly speak well of the DM if he doesn't give time to post before making such critical decisions, does he?
Through I can't say I'm surprised about not being picked.
I never am.
Maybe if you didn't cop such an attitude all the time...?
And what exactly is that supposed to mean?
-snip-
You know, never mind. Somehow I doubt you'll take what I have to say on the subject well.
Regardless, there are a ton of people here who didn't get picked, because the fact is a GM simply cannot pick everyone who participates in a recruitment. There's only so many dudes someone can GM for. Chill, it's not a personal snub to be left out at the end of a recruitment.
I kept you in mind.
I know its not a personal snub to be left out at the end of recruitment. I hope it didn't come across that way. I was... a little dramatic there at the end, yes I admit that... but I have encountered DMs who overlook things before, and I wanted to ensure that I had been taken into account, which PG DM has assured me he did.
The last two lines? That's just... well, I just struggle with the entire recruitment proccess. I can craft amazing, intricate characters... but not from a blank-slate like overs can. I'm much more of a person that creates and explores characters as I play with them... which unfourtnantely, puts me at a serious disadvantedge when it comes to character creation.
Just something I'm used to, that's all. Through, if the DM doesn't mind... can I have a PM as to why I wasn't chosen? Stuff to keep in mind to try and improve my character creation from here on out.
You would not like my reasoning that I used to pick. It was somewhat arbitrary.
Personal preference? Eh, fair enough... could be about me for all I know. Ah well. Nevermind then.
You would not like my reasoning that I used to pick. It was somewhat arbitrary.
Can't help but notice that two of the three most optimized characters were left out, and everyone picked had all least 9th level spells.
Honestly though, there is something to your complaint Fury. Too many recruitments here are vague, overly broad, and not reasonably calculated to produce characters suitable for a given game.
Failing to identify optimization level, permissible sources, and rulings on an array of expected questions - crafting, monster races, etc - is pretty disappointing.
