I present Malcolm Cavendish, Paladin Warrior of the Holy Light, for your consideration.
Thanks...I adjusted a few things...took out magic weapon and a few other Jade Regent references...I will redo background tomorrow.
Outstanding! I updated Malcolm's history accordingly, and I am ready to go!
Wizard (1 extra free level 0 spell)
Does this mean able to cast one extra Cantrip? Because Wizards automatically know (or at least have written in their spellbook) all Wizard Cantrips...
Would you allow the Ninja? (alternate class of rogue from Ultimate Combat)
Link is interested if the money is good..
Might I inquire as to the reason for banning any archetype not found in Ultimate Combat? Completely shuts down my idea for an Alchemist.

Yes you can use 1 extra wizard cantrip. I would allow a ninja. You would have to specify clearly what you are doing in the way of spells and the like, but I might let it slide. The reason for banning nearly any archetype not in ultimate combat is because I don't have very much material concerning anything from ultimate magic and things like that.
Well theres always the SRD.

Rishin was a halfling born into a world of despair. As a small child, his village was raided, his parents slain and he and his siblings were captured as slaves. While his slave caravan was travelling through a vast expanse of wastelands and dry plains, Rishin seized an opportunity to escape. The window was narrow, and he knew to succeed he would have to leave his siblings behind. He hesitated slightly, but ultimately chose freedom over kinship and made good on his flight.
The next few days were rough on Rishin as he had never had to fend for himself. When he was close to starving and dying of thirst, some tribal plainsmen found him. Their shaman, a worshipper of Gozreh nursed him back to health. Rishin admired their ability to live off only the basic necessities -- something very foreign to the lush life style he had been stolen away from.
Rishin did his best to learn the rituals and practices of the tribe and became a follower of Gozreh. Rishin had acclimated quite well, so it have become as a great surprise when they told him that he was an outcast and would have to leave the tribe. Knowing the fate that awaited him if he refused, he simply left with nothing but the clothes on his back, and a trident given to him by the shaman.
Rishin's rough life has drained him emotionally and psychologically. Although generally mentally stable, he does have the occasional breakdown. He still likes to wear the war paint of his tribe and has become a skilled rider. He sees his role in life, similar to that of a druid -- keeping a balance in all things.
Sometimes he does act without thinking, and his diplomacy skills need a little work. He enjoys the simple things in life (very un-halfling-ish), and rarely bathes or changes clothes. He disdains the luxerious lifestyle he once lived, as well as anyone who also lives in such a manner.
Note: I didn't manage to sneak my edit in for 2nd level, before the 1 hour post time ran out. Although I do have the stats for it, the basic character concept is pretty well shown from what is currently posted. If selected then I will finish stat'ing him out, along with gear.
No need for a sneaky type?
Currently at work but I'll be submitting a Human Ninja later today however, I can give a quick outline of what I'm thinking.
A honorable ninja who used to train at a monk monastery.
Preferred fighting style - dual wielding Wakizashi's.
Feats - Two Weapon Fighting and Weapon Finesse.
Ninja Trick - Vanishing Trick.

So far it seems we have:
Malcolm Cavendish - Human Paladin
Rishin Tallowspire - Halfling Cleric
Link The Dark - Half -Elf Ninja
Halkale - Human Ranger
I'll leave the recruitment open until tomorrow night (Illinois time). I'll take no more party members after then, and there's only one spot left open. Tomorrow night i'll probably start the campaign thread off as well, but wait for me to post there before you try. Thanks!
Hello, I'm interested in joining. I've never done a play by post before but I have role-played on forums before. I'm thinking a Sorcerer or a Witch if you'll have me.
Arcanist is about all we're missing..
I'm creating a wizard character right now. I'd like to be in this adventure, if you'll have me.
I just finished a witch. I only finished the crunch because it's getting a little late in the evening, I'll add backstory when I get up tomorrow morning. Isabel Vitteri

ikickyouindanuts: I'll leave the recriutment up for one more day then, so you can get yours in. Typically I won't take another one, but i'd hate to leave you hanging since you're making a character as it is.
Toujours: You're locked in. Thanks for making your character so fast.
I'll start the campaign thread Saturday night (Illinois time) if I can. Friday's a no-go.

Sweet, thanks. I'm almost done with it.
May I present to you.....
The magnificent wizard, Arkas Stone! Eager for the adventure! Ready to delve some depths!

Malcolm Cavendish - Human Paladin
Rishin Tallowspire - Halfling Cleric
Link The Dark - Half -Elf Ninja
Halkale - Human Ranger
Isabel Vitteri - Human Witch
Arkas Stone - Human Wizard
Those are our characters. We're done accepting new ones now. As previously stated, the campaign starts Saturday night.
That's a great question...
DM: what is your rule for gaining hp's after 1st level?
|
|
Forthepie: Campaign traits (Shattered Star, ect.) are off limits. Besides those and faction traits everything else is fair game.
Kor - Orc Scrollkeeper: Max hp 1st lv, then 1/2 of dice +1 + con mod for every level after.
If I was a character with 12 constitution and a d8 for hit dice then my hp every level after 1st would be 4 (1/2 of 8 sided dice) + 1 + 1 from con mod, for a grand total of + 6 hp every level.
How much do I need to keep track of spell components in this adventure?
Cool. Another question. Are you allowing spells from Ultimate Magic and APG?
Rishin is ready to go.
Added backstory and personality, I had to change one trait because I couldn't find it again so I switch to birthmark. I'm all ready.
