Um, paladins have to be LG. And clerics of Iomedae have to be LG, NG, or LN. If you want to keep the backstory and alignment, maybe you should consider Calistra. She sounds like a goddess that'd be for that kind of retribution.


John Woodford

Spoiler:
Nice Wiscrani name. If you get chosen we'll have to do something with Msr Canario too: he sounds pretty cool.

Decius

Spoiler:
That backstory actually gets cooler every time I read it. I think beastmorph will probably work pretty well.

markofbane

Spoiler:
Unarmed strike makes sense as a bonus feat for Irorian clerics. I'm happy with multiclassing as monk or staying cleric. I like the way you've spun out a trait to work with the setting.

AdamWarnock

Spoiler:
Good stuff. If you get picked you'll have a chance to use the calling card in the first book of the AP

Caraldur

Spoiler:
Thanks for applying, not sure how the charming trait works with a man who rarely smiles but otherwise it looks like a very neat build.

Morrick

Spoiler:
Imaginative set up: sympathy for tieflings could really play into the AP

Kilean

Spoiler:
Neat. Thanks for applying.

Riginald Johnson

Spoiler:
Riginald has a cool backstory... which simply could not happen in Cheliax. Please, read the player's guide and decide how Riginald fits into the campaign. It is a lot more than just choosing a trait.

Okay, another thing I forgot to mention: average starting gold for your class.

And one more thing... Applications will close at midday on Wednesday GMT.

This is really weird, I feel like a horribly bossy GM-is-god type of GM. I've never had to pick players like this before... too many good ideas!


Guess that means I lost =(

Well have fun guys.
Maybe next go around.

Here's Aerodus' back story. My apologies for taking so long to put it up. Enjoy!

Background:

Aerodus Voralis does not know anything concerning his parents or his lineage, nor does he care to. He grew up alone on the streets, abandoned by people too ashamed to acknowledge a tiefling as their offspring. This often led to him being ridiculed by others as he was an unpopular overweight child. After being continually harassed by bullies, Aerodus began training himself in physical combat, seeking a way to take advantage of his freakish size. Using his newfound strength, he bullied his way into a gang, killing the leader's enforcer to earn his spot. He was content in this role until the gang fell victim to the blight that curses Westcrown, the shadow beasts. Aerodus was nearly killed but he was saved by the mysterious "Bluehood" and the Westcrown Shadow Hunters. Impressed with his size and strength, the bounty hunters took him in and furthered his education. He learned discipline and order, qualities his old street crew lacked. And in assisting the hunters, Aerodus developed an appreciation for the value of earning money, as opposed to taking it through force as he had done in the past. In time, he became a devout Abadaran and with that came the realization that even as Abadar the Gold-Fisted protected The First Vault, so too must he protect Westcrown. And if he could earn a little coin while doing it, then so much the better.

GM Elberion:
You asked how Daxius the Inquisitor of Iomedae got his temple training. I didn't realize when I wrote the background that worship of any deity but Asmodeus was outlawed. Based on my Child of the Temple Trait requires an actual temple to train in, so I'm going to go with this: Daxius has worked since childhood as a cleaner and serving boy in a temple of Asmodeus. He's seen much of the ways of the nobility from this experience, and he has learned to hate them more every day. All of his spare time is spent the library of an abandoned temple of Aroden, learning the ways of Iomedae and planning his big move - whatever that may be. Taking down a few of the fell beasts that roam the night is step one, but it gets a bit fuzzy after that.

Yeah I agree. I created him in herolab a couple hours before I wrote his background. I'll change that trait and pick something more inline with the character concept.


GM Elberion:
Thanks. I look forward to playing this one. Here's hoping you pick me.

Nobody is in and nobody is out until Wednesday lunchtime.

I didn't include you in the long thread as we had already discussed your character.

Posting Zadarra as an alternate character concept. He's a halfling looking for a home. Bard Archer who is looking to be a pathfidner and also work to change thigns in westcrown.


Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on refining the mechanics for Lueck more.

I'm sorry if I missed it in your earlier posts, but did you say how you intend to handle starting gold? Average, maximum, rolled or other?

Average gold.

One of the things I forgot until the second page: I've not done a pbp before.


2 hours and 25 minutes (ish) until recruitment closes.


Okay, after much deliberating, the final cut is:

Astra Vesper: half-elf rogue (Adam Warnock)
Daxius Veronius: human(?) inquisitor of Iomedae (PbemDM)
Hyngrot: half-orc urban ranger ( Xzoral)
Nicolai Beauturne: human alchemist (DeciusNero)
Pontia Canario: human conjurer (John Woodford)

This took me ages to decide. Honourbale mentions go to Devon, Vlad and Stephen, I'll call on one of you if someone decides not to play.

Some notes for players.
Would you please create a messageboard alias with an appropriate image, full stats and background information. Please spoiler anything which might be regarded as secret.

Astra

Spoiler:
Would you like to create names for your Desnan priest and Andoran agent?

Daxius

Spoiler:

Actually, I'm an idiot: take the child-of-the-temple trait: you were trained in secret by an elven cleric of Iomdae called Arael. He brought you books and taught you services in secret, in the cellars of an abandoned inn which he has bought and is slowly renovating.

Hyngrot

Spoiler:
Would it be possible to change your pathfinder sponsor to a human woman: Ailyn?

Nicolai

Spoiler:
Is ace, I don't have anything to say but I'm getting carried away with the spoilers...

Pontia

Spoiler:
Would you like to name Msr Canario and give me an insight into why he chose to take in Pontia?

Right then: get over to the discussion thread (tab at the top), post your characters and we'll get organised.


Have fun!
