In the meantime, I've been building and rebuilding different variations of my character.
I think a two-weapon warrior fighter is probably better for exploiting the Dimensional Agility feat chain. The "Equal Opportunity" ability a TWW gets at 13th level would generate even more Attacks of Opportunity during the Dimensional Dervish attack rounds.
Sorry about the disappearance guys, its been a long couple of weeks for me. I'm opening up game play now, the first part will be individually, so you won't need to worry about the other two players that haven't joined in yet. I'll run that part in person with them. In your Game play post, I want you to tell me where you are and what you are trying to do at the moment (i.e. current quests, goals, conquests, or something like that. You could also be retired or starting a family too. Up to you.)
But, some of the details of the questions I (and others) have asked to help us complete our characters are likely to have a bearing on said post.
Monkeygod asked:
1) Would it be OK to have Gloves of Dex like in 3.5, AND a Belt of Str and Con? If so, would the gloves cost more at all?
2) How much role-playing/social interaction with the world at large will there be?
3) Any chance you'll let me have one of my favorite items from 3.5, Belt of Many Pockets, to serve as basically a utility belt?
And GM Pandorica asked:
GM if we can have 3.5 items could I ask is it ok if I have:
power talismans:
Power Talisman A power talisman appears to be a simple iron coin emblazoned with a pair of crossed fists. A power talisman ban be enchanted to contain any weapon enhancement of a +2 bonus or less and grants the user of that ability with unarmed attacks. The price of the enhancement bonus is doubled for the purposes of imbuing it within a power talisman, so a +2 bonus placed with a power talisman costs the same as a +4 bonus placed within a weapon. Caster Level: 5th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, greater magic weapon; Market Price: 2,000 gp
Lady Rosalyn Luminass asked about the other two players.
I asked a question about a houserule for Arcane Armor Mastery (removing swift action need). If the feat stays as is, I'll have to take a PrC to overcome it.

Game play is still closed GM, dose this mean you wish us to post here, that info about what our PCs are doing.
I have had a seriously, very busy last couple of weeks, and have not really had much time to work on my PC. Thus, I believe I will bow out and let somebody who is already finished have a spot. Unless Wivvy wants to give me more time, I feel this is the most fair thing for all involved.
I gave a joke post about researching a grease spell that used banana's.
But...
Then I started thinking about a jokester. A chaotic character who's spells had a slight bend to them.
Not the stab your friends in the back kind of chaotic. Nor the "kill the village to save it" kind either.
The "he cast a spell and the floor was covered in banana peels" kind.
Every spell, or nearly every one, has some sort of twist to it.
Keep in mind that the backstory already has an assumption that no two wizards write their spells the same, hence the spellcraft check needed to copy a spell from a spellbook.
I'm thinking something like:
Instead of burning hands, it's a flaming gas attack. The somatic component being turning around, bending over, and holding a match between his legs.
Casting fly and little wings sprout from ankles, or flower petals spray from one's backside.
To cast phasewall one must draw a door on the wall.
Casting mount isn't necessarily a horse. Might also be a rainbow colored zebra, an alpaca, a donkey, or a dog on a tricylce.
I'll leave it to your imagination how create water works.
GM Wivvy, do you have a problem posting more than a block of posts once every few days? I'm looking at your posting frequency pre Xmass and after and its coming at as a few posts every 3 to 5 days. Is this the frequency of GM posts we can expect for the game?.
A 4 armed adventurer teamed up with an arms merchant... I think I came out good on that deal.
I have to flesh out a bit of gear and some spells. Most of the class crunch is done. wizard 20 // fighter 1 / Rogue 14 / Horizon Walker 3.
Kawai is likely going to be TN. With tendencies towards LG, and not afraid to get his hands dirty, assuming he can't find a patsy.
Sounds like he would be a good partner for an arms merchant. "Swords don't kill people. We simply sell tools that others may use as they see fit."
Portable holes that have been masked as non-magical items are awesome for smuggling 'tools', light enough to be carried by an animal companion or familiar as well.

Hopefully not, I'll try and keep it at a more steady rate of posting, but no guarantees on weekends.
@fnord - nice character sheet, one of your favored terrains needs to be astral
@Wivvy - I'm going to look at doing a quick rebuild with the nightmare steed. This gist of the character will stay the same. I'll do less HW and then either do more ranger or something with a mount to get the mount up to snuff. (Alternately, I could drop a couple feats and use boon companion to boost what ranger 8 gives me)
Ok with the speed and just plane lack of input form this GM I am dropping out this game. Its sad to see one post a week on a level 18 game. 104 posts a year, we get into a combat and it will be Xmass 2016 before we get to the end
GM I suggest you make it clear next to that you CAN make a post rate that has meaning even for PbP.
Wivvy, I think I'm going to bow out as well. I've just had too busy a life lately to get my PC even started really, let alone finish it.
If it means anything, I'd like to offer my spot to Rynjin, who seems to have a really cool concept, and is definitely different from mine(which is close-ish to some of the other PCs).
Sorry Wiv, I really like this game, and I very much appreciate you choosing me, and your offer to give me more time, but life has been poppin a lot for me lately.
I really liked it a lot too. As soon as I read the Masked Avenger I was super excited to make a PC with it, and the level for this game, plus being gestalt was a perfect chance to play it, I had thought.
Its just with working at a big grocery store during the holidays and our biggest sale of the year, coupled with other real life stuff, things have just been too busy for be to devote time to making a PC that takes as much time as an 18th level gestalt.
Thank you again, and thanks for letting Rynjin in as well. You're good peoples Wiv.
Hopefully you'll run something else soonish, either lower level or if not, hopefully I'll have more free time.
Male Human Monk 5 (Qinggong Master of Many Styles from the Sacred Mountain)/Fighter (Brawler) 3
Belated thanks to Monkeygod for letting me have his spot. =)
I'll make an intro post tomorrow (bedtime now), probably involving stepping out of the Pit for the first time in decades into some alleyway in Cheliax. Cheng is done sans about 20k of gear I haven't allocated, which may just sit by as a "rainy day fund" in case someone dies, we need a scroll of something or other, or things on those lines.
A GM Form what you have said, Post's today and then again on Sunday. My worry is that your GM post rate will be only posts 2x/3x week. Thats looking like 250-350 GM posts for a whole year. GM Its just plan respectful to players to let them know what commitment levels you are offering to a game, that level is real low and you will lose players with that. This was my resining from dropping You may feel I was calling you out and feel free to dos so. You may even feel anger at me and feel free to do so. But you have to let players know that a game would be super slow. Now you may say to me, "Hay you have no idea I will post much more than that." well good, Show me I am wrong, show the others players and give them a great game. I mean it, If me sacrificing my game spot gets them that then I will be happy to have lost it and have a rock fall on my PC. Don't like the game stall and make it fun, So prove me wrong and I will be happy. I will be keeping and eye on the game.
Players: I feel sad that I had to drop to get a response from the GM. You may disagree with me and feel free to, but I really wanted more from this game than such a low level of GM post commitment, my hope is that with all this the GM will offer that to you as players.
@MG, I'm with you,
@Rynjin, that's is a great PC Idea and well thought out.
*Sighs* What was the point of that post other than to take credit for yourself if this game picks up pace? I'm not, in any way mad that you left, only a little frustrated at the manner you did so. You didn't "sacrifice" anything, you left. Furthermore this is a forum made form Pathfinder not arguing about who's right and who's wrong. So, if I've come of rude in any way, then I sincerely apologize. Let's bury the hatchet (if there is one to bury) and get on with the fun having. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. Wish you the best.
GM Wivvy like you this will be my last post on this matter and like you
*Sighs*. There is no right or wrong here there was only concern and frustration barn from a lock of communication, so there is no "hatchet" to bury GM Wivvy so no worry's there. my only intent was to have you respect the players and show your commitment to the game or state what that commitment would be. Which you have now done. On two separate occasions I PMs you GM Wivvy on this subject and got no response. So my understandable concern about your commitment and/or lock of communication. As of now you HAVE now stated your commitment and you ARE now responding and posting. It is a shame I had to revoke this but with no feed back from PMs I could see no others way. Other players may not agree with me, but I feel deep down they are more than happy they now have a GM that is now responding and posting more often. So I achieved what I set out to do. There is no hard feeling on my part other than a feeling of disappoint I had to do this to get you to respond.
To help you I suggest you read the below thread on the subject of GMing and Roll playing on here. In fact its very good for anyone, I know it helped me I feel it will be most helpful to you in the Future, most of all the parts on GM communication to players.
Thomas you don't have to have your character all the way done for this part.
So still waiting on two more posts, but it is MLK day here in the US, so I understand. Hoping to get to the good stuff in one or two more days.
To the guys that have already posted, look for a post around noon tomorrow. I'm trying to do these all at once so they don't get out of sync, but you guys shouldn't have to wait. I'd post tonight, but I'm beat from the weekend what with family visits and what not.

Out of curiosity, is this game going to pick up the pace at any point? I'd like to know how far to adjust my expectations here, especially once we hit a combat (at the current pace it would take several weeks just to get through a round).
I lose essentially nothing time-wise keeping up with this game regardless of the speed, so it's not a factor where I'd drop out, but knowing would be nice. I'm used to PbP games with a minimum of one post per day (from every player + the GM).
Yeah sorry about that, I'm having some trouble getting the details of the stroy refined, so it's taken me a while to put up posts. Battles will be at least a post a day though, so don't worry about that. The combat is juuust about to start.
Hello everyone, I've been itching for some more Pathfinder recently and I'm sure there are plenty of people that feel the same way. So, here it is:
I want to run a short, fast paced game loaded down with monsters, weapons and explosions. One with minimal railroading, and maximum action. In this campaign you will be able to do literally whatever you want! Be careful though, it will be a very challenging campaign with no punches pulled. Unless my party unanimously wants to do mythic, I'm going to say no-go on that.
Have an idea for a non-combative character, but it doesn't fit this campaign? IT DOES! There will be plenty of opportunities for characters to buff themselves to epic proportions. Say you have a Charisma based character the would have a very slim chance at taking on a dragon. Well if that bard happens to make friends with a commanding officer of an army, he will stand a much better chance of winning.
You want to be evil? AWESOME! You want to be good? AWESOME! You want to be Neutral? STILL AWESOME! Any alignment you choose is fine because you don't have to like- or even stick with your party members. But if you decide to kill the weakling bard, and that bard just so happened to become best buddies of a commander of an army, good luck. If you decide to go out on your own then I won't stop you, but I certainly won't guarantee your safety either. Remember, I won't pull punches.
ALSO! If you die then you CAN resubmit a new character, but it will be thrown back into the pot with the rest of the applicants and I will choose again.
ON THAT NOTE! Recruitment for this campaign will close...never! As long as this campaign is active, the recruitment will be also. After I pick my first group, there is no guarantee that anyone else will get in, but there is still a pretty good chance.
Now for the fun stuff:
Character Building:
Starting at level 18, will go to 20.
20 pt. Buy one-for-one (I told you it was high powered.
Any Paizo for classes, races, and anything else. As a general rule, I say no third party, but feel free to run it by me unless it involves a completely different rule system such as Psionics. Also, no Synthesist summoners, and no Immortal Spark.
700,000 gp 1 cp(just because)
Gestalt
2 extra skill points per level
2 extra feat to start with
Max HP
2 traits. 3 if drawback.
Alignment: Any
Backstory:
Your backstory can be whatever you want, but it must be epic. If you're evil, then you were pulled from the deepest darkest pit of hell that you could imagine. If you are good, then you are Batman, Superman, and Spider-man all mixed together and multiplied by two. The only stipulation is that you are knocked out in some way and the last thing you see is the inside of your eyelids. You don't see who knocked you out.
I'd definitely like to put something together, I just need to think of what to do!
Edit: I have a few ideas, and my favorite involves a divine/arcane caster, the Gestalt rules seem to kind of leave prestige classes up to the determination of the DM, so is the Mystic Theurge class banned?
Because I just LOVE playing Melee characters that Eschew magic use, I shall present Edward Kenway, or some similar, The Swashbuckler/Rogue that spins through the battlefield with his twin Sawtooth Sabers.
I'm actually thinking Eldritch Scion Magus / Sacred Servant/Oath of Vengeance Paladin of Kurgess. Either Human or Angelkin Aasimar (leaning towards the latter).
I've never gotten a chance to build or play a high level Magus, where all my problems with the class are long since overcome, so I think it'd be a lot of fun. :)

Hope this works so long, just the anti paladin, will add the gestalt in a bit
Hmm. Hmmmm. HMMMMM!
I could pull up The Burning Intelect and build him up for this game, combine it with something, gunslinger maybe. (hes a goblin mindchemist. Permenantly on fire, loves books and scrolls)
I could bring Rockjaw Runefinger and bring him from his humble beginings to the height of his power... (dwarf armored hulk barbarian/something)
Haave a few other ideas, will have to think...
I have a demolitions specialist knocking around in my head,
either TN or NE Gunslinger (mechanist)/alchemist(grenadier)
Takes wild talent to gain access to the psionic deads never mind just read the part about "completely new rule systems, poohie, ah well still pretty decent.
Has a pair of revolvers and a pepperbox rifle.
He's an all around badass, he's got a bit of a blood knight personality and he goes around acting as a mercinary fighting for just about whoever pays the most, but to the real slime balls if it'd be easier to kill you and take the money that way that's what he does.
He believes that the explosions are the truest form of art, and views himself as a visionary artist sharing his art with the world
In addition to the ovbious damage otput of this guy he can also disarm traps and do minor healing
Or I could go LN or NG spelless ranger/Druid with a monk dip classic protector of nature bumped up to eleven.
Or LN kensi magus/arcanist warrior Mage, master of magic, specializing in anti caster techniques. Thematically he was raised by monks after he was abandoned on the monk's collective doorsteps, and they trained him to fight but recognized him as a chosen child of nethus (I don't really know any other non evil magic gods) and so on his 15th birthday they revealed this to him and sent him off to train in the ways of magic.
Or trapper ranger18 /grenadier alchemist 7 sorcerer 1/arcane archer 10 or maybe swapping the ranger and alchemist levels
Super spy, master urban tracking and surviving in the wild
Cunning, charismatic and death with a bow,
Basically hawkeye loads of different tricks possible with his arrows, from poison, to
What's your policy on templates and monster levels?
Because I have an LG quickling monk/machinesmith that's basically the flash, and it's awesome (though I'd prefer he be medium size so I'd even spend a level on giant to get it)
Maybe CG if I go martial artist or monk of the four winds
Or I could go as raiden with celestially blessed suli warlock/monk (four winds)
He'd have the demensional agility chain, and I have an awesome backstory already written for him.
Q1 Templates can we have them of so what CR level?
Q2 Race Builder if so what RP level?
Q3 Guns, level costs?
Q4 Can we come from other planes?
Q5 Leadership can we have the feat?
Q6 HERO Points? are you using them?
Q7 Crafting can we made pre-game?
Q8 Mythic will we?
And you know who I will be playing at level 18 like this
Rosa Luminass, some of you know her, Rosa is the kind of PC made for this game.
I had a 20/20 Gestalt Alchemist/Wizard Mythic 10 guy made for shapehifting made up for a different game, so I might tweak him and re-present it, since the GM shut it down after everyone got characters made.
Or I might go with something far less exhausting to create. That one only really truly shines with the Mythic abilities giving me all sorts of 24 hour buffs anyway.
Perhaps an Alchemist/Monk so I can knock people into next century. Or Alchemist/Investigator so I can get my Alchemy on with twice the fun.
Whatever it is, it's gonna involve Alchemist, I believe.
Unless I decide to make that Grand Marshal (Gunslinger 5/Inquisitor 20/Grand Marshal 10/Whatever 5) I've been wanting to make. What kind of guns are available?
Hey Rynjin, just to let you know, the burning Inteligence is a mindchemist alchemist that is probably going to go investigator, once i figure a few things out, and that it is the character i am currently leaning heavilly to.
Not that i am asking you change your idea (would never do that!), rather just letting you know of the overlap :)
I have an idea but the epic back story may be rather lengthy and detailed (if that is alright) By lengthy I mean.
two books (word documents)
Book 1: approx 90 pages (will need to edit out some stuff)
Book 2: approx 154 pages (again will have to edit out some stuff)
(book 2 has about 10 pages of epilogue and character sheets that reflect progression through the story)
Basically it is the narrative as the character was played all the way up in level through the old 3.0 modules beginning with forge of fury (missed the sunless citadel) up too I believe Bastion of Broken Souls but Its been a long time so I don't recall fully

Coolio. I think both are versatile enough (especially with you going Mindchemist) that it could be good, though. If I decide to go with that.
I want to know if it works and if it messes things up, like can I still make non-gestalted characters. can I de-select getstalt so I can still have the standard hero-lab?
It's a gestalt game, right? You're expecting full progression of two class builds.
I have four conceptsto ask you to choose from. I have no favorites..I just want to be in line with the rest of the party. Having said that, I'm not afraid of rivalry or conflict, I just don't want to end up the only good guy in a party of evil PCs or vice versa. So...if one of the following tickles you and sounds like a good match:
Decthacion Alhasinin (NG male high elf black blade magus/fighter) Decthacion is the quintessential high elf bladesinger. He is a little condescending towards lesser-lived races, seeing the role of his ancient noble family as the aggressive protectors of the mortal realm.
Pierre Covand (NE male human bard/oracle) Pierre has left his Galtan estates in search of more ancient secrets that explore the nature of evil, hate, and sin. He indulges in every pleasure but is also a patient architect. He's great for a plots within plots game, but he is wicked dark.
Rijaldo Laliz (CG male human swashbuckler/rogue) Self-dubbed "Rijaldo the Rescuer", the fighter spent long years in search of an artifact called "the Finest Blade". He enjoys danger, bores easily, and flirts with any woman he finds attractive.
Lord Galden Vex (CE male half-fiend/grave guardian human antipaladin/oracle) Lord Vex took his new name when he gave his soul to the Four Horsemen in exchange for incredible power. He uses this power to make war, plague, famine, and murder against the hated nation of his homeland.
I'd be happy to play any of these. Rijaldo is the best candidate for heroism and humor. Decthacion is a leader and versatile combatant. Pierre is a leader and great for down time plans. Vex is a supervillain with nothing but the worst of intentions.
Klor Kragsson (dwarven fighter/rogue) -- Klor is a self-styled "dwarven defender," in open rebellion against the rules and regimen of his clan, exiled into the dark tunnels to protect them on his own terms. Klor very much adheres to the notion that the ends justify the means; and although his goals are usually good-- at least as far as he understands the term-- his approach leaves much to be desired.
I want to know if it works and if it messes things up, like can I still make non-gestalted characters. can I de-select getstalt so I can still have the standard hero-lab?
Gestalt is a particular character class in the add on. You can still make non-gestalt characters if you choose. I have my character built up in it. It's a bit weird how it works, but it does work.
Dudley is a long serving Pathfinder Society member. Formerly with the Andoran faction, he converted to Silver Crusade during the recent shifting of factions.
A devotee of Erastil, but a bit off since he generally relies upon a chackram rather than a bow. Erastil has made allowances for him because he has proven effective.
Dudley is a touch dim, but is devoted to his god and the greater good. He is also one who always accepts that redemption is possible. He is not at all the bloodthirsty paladin that so many seem to be. He believes that mercy is always the greater path if circumstances permit. Of course if the law decides otherwise, he will accede.
He has traveled over much of Golarion in service to the Decemvirate, but always staying true to his principles. He has fought Demons, Jiskan Liches, minions of the Rune Lords and other great threats to the world, and has always done his duty.
He will still take on important missions if he deems the motives of the Decemvirate to be correct, Mostly he just travels about seeking to right wrongs. He has found much of his time eaten up around the World Wound of late as it never seems to stop supplying challenges worthy of his attention.

Waiting on GM about Templates :)
Will build her as is, Have working Alt here, I want to try something new with this build, how about this.
If the GM says no to warlock and Godling then I would really like to try
Cleric/Monk For Rosalyn.
I would like her to go Mythic if the other players are up for it.
Mythic is very fun, but a pretty big power booster (especially for casters).
It depends on how high powered the GM wants this to be, really. Different challenges are required for Mythic characters much like different challenges are required for high level characters in general.
"Damage sponge" enemies simply don't work any more, for example. High HP is pretty much meaningless, when DPR can be measured in the high hundreds easily (I have a level 19 Mythic 9 character who can whip out somewhere in the ballpark of 500-700 damage a round with two Mythic Vital Strikes, and he's optimized for Grappling, not damage).
Enemies would need non-standard defenses. Very high DR (higher than the usual max of 15), of the DR/- variety (all other DR, including Epic, are far too easy to overcome for high level characters of any stripe), miss chances, mirror images, etc.
In addition, quantity is better than Quality (to an extent). Due to the previous, most single targets will be destroyed by most Mythic characters in a single round. Ideally the odds would be at least 2 to 1 of roughly CR appropriate enemies.
For example, if we were a party of 4, level 18, Mythic 9, we'd want somewhere between 8 and 20 enemies of CR 16 and above, with some Mythic ranks.
Q1 Templates can we have them of so what CR level?
Hmm. I've never seen templates in use before. What did you have in mind?
Q2 Race Builder if so what RP level?
I'm fairly picky about this, but yes. Nothing above 12 rp. and it can't be obviously specialized. (You can't make a character that would only work for a stealth class by giving it buffs like +4 Dex, +4 stealth, and small but would be useless for any other class. It has to be at least somewhat versatile.
Q3 Guns, level costs?
I'm not a big fan of guns (old school that way) but I will allow early guns, but ammo might be scarce.
Q4 Can we come from other planes?
Yup.
Q5 Leadership can we have the feat?
Yup.
Q6 HERO Points? are you using them?
No, not for a campaign this short.
Q7 Crafting can we made pre-game?
Yup.
Q8 Mythic will we?
Probably not.
@Joshua: Sorry, no Occult.
@GM Pandorica: All Paizo prestige classes are fine.
@Steven: I gotta say, Decthacion Alhasinin is my favorite of the bunch.
@Edward: Maybe a short version will do (not really short, but less than 20 pages for sure) ;). That being said, you're welcome to give the long version along with it.
@aceDiamond: It looks fine to me, as long as you don't cheat the bonuses of old age like Immortal Spark allows, then you're fine.
I think that's it for the questions. If I missed you let me know. Also, I'll be taking 6 for my original group, but 2 are reserved for my brothers. Ace is one. Loving the submissions guys, keep 'em coming.
Yeah, Mythic brings an entirely different world of gameplay to the table. There is nothing like having immortality and the ability to make a touch attack for over half a million damage minimum every other round or so.
With gestalt, I would go ahead and throw an almost infinite source of wealth as well.
I forgot to ask: how long are you going to keep recruitment open for? I always forget exactly how much effort building a high level gestalt character can be, so it might be a few days before I can get even just my crunch done.
My submission for this will be James Bonfire Ranger/Bard. Have to fully build him but here is is backstory.
Backstory:
Stay late enough in one of the taverns in the right part of the larger cities of the inner sea, and when the bards have had enough to drink and are feeling safe you may hear them tell a tale too strange to believe of one of their own. It goes something like this:
Nocticula found a baby aasimar in the Midnight Isles. Being a very chaotic sort of demon she put out a personal request for someone to raise this child. The competition was fierce and deadly and won by, of all things a fire giant.
This fire giant raised the child in the ways of balance and the wilderness and on they day he matured she disappeared without collecting her reward from Nocticula.
This aasimar spent many years in the Midnight Isles experiencing all it had to offer and picked up some bardic talent as well. It is said he was in the wilds of the Isles one day when he followed a rabbit down a hole and ended up in Feronia's realm. He liked it there as he was sick of some of the worst of the debauchery in the Midnight Isles. He stayed there a long time and chose her as his goddess.
But soon the wanderlust gripped him and he decided to spend time on Golorian in the inner seas. The tales of him spread as he moved around. It is rumored that he has been banned from the Temples of Calistria as his purse always came out heavier than when he went in and all of the priestess ended up pregnant giving birth to red headed children nine months later. There are other rumors that any town he spends time in sees a rash of red headed children born nine months later.
He is known to work with the druids to expand and population of wildlife getting dangerously low. After saving a rare rabbit population in the forest, was spending time celebrating with the local citizens when his was knocked out in the arms of a beautiful woman.
The idea was originally for a half celestial cambion, so I'm making some changes there too. Hope to have crunch done in a few days.
Personal Information:
Klor Kragsson is the middle of three sons of Krag Bladebeard, the current patriarch of a long line of Hearthguard, the champions and protectors of the dwarven strongholds. Unfortunately for his family, Klor's fiery temper and lack of discipline did not mesh well with the demands of his clan's profession.
Despite a terrible falling out with his father and clan, Klor was yet filled with a sense of responsibility for his kin. His self-imposed exile from his stronghold sent him deep into the tunnels of his mountain home, into the goblin warrens that criss-crossed the dwarven delving’s. Klor spent many years stalking those warrens alone, protecting his clan in his own way, on his own terms. It was a brutal and lonely existence, hardening him physically and mentally.
Those who have met Klor find him difficult to bear. Even by dwarven standards he is considered rough and crude. His years alone have left him with a tendency to speak his thoughts aloud, with brutal honesty. His best hope for tactful conversation is simply to say nothing at all!
Those who know him slightly better realize that honesty is only one of his many double-edged virtues. Though he is fearless, a useful trait in an ally, it often comes across as arrogant bravado. His hatred of evil is unswerving, although he is completely without mercy and his methods often give pause to more civilized company. Klor adheres to no code of conduct but his own, for he believes that authority ends at the point of the sword. He will do what he believes he can get away with, and though he fears no man, he respects those who can enforce their will. Were it not that his goals were in line with the common good, he might very well find himself on the wrong end of the law...
