For what must be the thousanth time, Herand pulls against the chains that bind him but they do not budge. "Take me! I am the one you seek. " he says to nobody in particular. I just need a small opening and I will be able to make an escape, he thinks. Perhaps if they ever feed us, that will be the time to strike. I should have at least a fork to use. Well, a fork and some power from the beyond.
As time passes Herand does what he can to observe the changing of the guards, hoping to find a pattern that he can use to his advantage.
One more week before applications close.
The red haired gnome sighed to herself as she lay face down on the cold stone floor of her cell, right where the guards had thrown her hours before. Now we've gone and done it, haven't we? 'Make it more of a challenge!' we said, 'Something better guarded!'. Well, now look at us. We're going to have to be more... methodical, in the future. If we get out of here, that is.
Chained to the wall, shackled together, wearing nothing but the tatters of what you had on when you were caught. I'd apply with Hel, but she's already in Phntm888's game.

Oof... Well I guess I'll have to deal with that hit to str and con..
Even if that's a 24 point build... Hmm I might just go for the 25 point build...
With 25 points I can buy 16,16,14,12,10,8 and get much nicer stats, so that's what I'm doing.
Also this is William here with the vigilante I'm making, and Just FYI I'm not going for the whole Social identity thing, mostly I just want the Vigilante form. So I'm not taking the fame talents.
A mass of flesh hangs from the chains, seemingly too big to chain, but they managed. Even as blood drips from the edges, the gross mass tilts his head up and looks around. Ah well, such ends the flesh, if only that priest wasn't so nosy he would still be alive. He looks down. A last meal would be nice, and if only I could stand by the well once again.
I have a quick question: would a Vigilante be up for grabs, Because I'm thinking of making a Cabalist however I know that Vigilante don't fit in every type of game...
Glad you asked (it's about time someone did), I will accept a vigilante application but that doesn't make it an easy choice for this game.
Even if that's a 24 point build... Hmm I might just go for the 25 point build...
You're not allowed to switch to point buy if you don't like your rolls, that's the point of rolling, risking the fact that you may get a bad roll over a good point buy.
For anybody who intends to submit an application and has yet to do so, I recommend going to look at the comment posted by Doomed Hero in page 2.

Well I think it would be nice to at least rearrange my rolls, Because frankly a melee fighter with no con is as useful as a Knight made of tissue paper, and sure I could go for ranged or do a completely different class, but I really like the concept I have in mind. My only other option is to boost the heck out of my AC to avoid getting hit. Frankly that isn't the best option for a class that can't use heavier armors, as they too do get hit.
Also, to explain my concept I was thinking if making a Kyton-like Character who uses chain whips
Now with the stats that I'm stuck with I guess I'll take combat expertise as my first feat to give me that boost to AC.
The beggar in the cell grips the bars, I swear! It's all lies! I did nothing wrong, I follow the same tenets as everyone else in this town, sticking me I get with these criminals is unethical! he cries out, hoping a gaurd will hear him
Horus "The Black Hand" If you read the thread, even just for my post, on questions that were brought up and answered you would see that the rolls themselves can be rearranged. I'm normally fine with repeating information but considering that this is a text-based format and it hasn't been that long since the information was put up means that I should not have to be restating answers to questions I've already answered. Also I don't need a step-by-step breakdown of how you're going to build your character and why.

In my other post, I was trying to put my racial modifiers into the rolls, but I don't know why I put only +/- 1 instead of 2.
Not a criticism, just curious 'Alis', how you are compensate for the 8 Int on the death attack? Or are you going into Assassin for the other abilities?
GM says we can rearrange rolls, so I'll swap STR with INT
Corrected stats:
1+7-2= 6 STR
Focus= 18 DEX
4+7+2= 13 CON
6+7= 13 INT
Foible= 8 WIS
8+7+2= 17 CHA
Didn't realize we could shift stats; made a few changes of my own - mostly physical to mental stats (Charisma and Constitution mainly)
Yas392 here. Late submission but here is Taldran, a former Mitra cleric in training converted to Asmodean faith. I am going to include his appearance, statblock and personality in an hour.
One day was all it took to change everything. Taldran finished assisting his superior in a daily ceremony in the church and was heading home when he heard mutterings from the locals defaming Mitra. Mouths were silenced in an instant the moment Taldran interjected himself into the conversation and admonished them about the greatness of his god though that act planted doubt on his mind for the very first time.
From then on, his doubts of his god grew with each dissenter he faced and eyes opened. In the light of this, Taldran discussed the affairs of disquiet in various city states he visited with his brothers to quiet his doubts. It was always answered by an abrupt “it was Mitra's will.” The straight response further weakened Taldran's faith towards Mitra. At the height of hesitation, he unintentionally allowed a defamer of Mitra to evade capture. He was punished and given a stern warning.
The final straw that complete the road of abandoning his patron god was attending a secret gathering to recruit individuals who aspired to convert to and serve the Asmodean faith. It was organized by an amicable plump male human unbeknownst to the masses, a disguised devil sent by Asmodeus himself to rebuild his power base that he lost when King Markadian I dominated the isle and established Mitra as the central religion. The same who enticed Taldran with well-placed words to lure him to the meeting, taking advantage of his weakened resolve to Mitra.
By the end of the meeting, Taldran was eager to join the ranks of Asmodeus after he was impressed by the speech by the spokesperson about flaws of the kingdom delivered with the glibness that lured him into this gathering. Just as everyone was about to disperse into the crowd, militants of the church burst in and round up the aspirants including himself with the recruited nowhere to be seen after trailing Taldran due to his late suspicious behaviour. As his proceeding started in court, those who were closest to him interrogate about his immorality. Correcting them and declaring himself a follower of Asmodeus to all spectators during the sentences, he was charged with blasphemy and was condemned to burning on the stake in Brandescar Prison in 3 days time. As his punishment was announced, Taldran laughs as he was dragged all the way to prison.
Profile updated. Should be complete.
Oh, I'm sorry, it's just because I was a late entry I sorta took the TLDR route and skimmed everything, looking for what seemed important.
I so do wish to apply to this game... I'll make some quick adjustments then...
Tick tock! Last minute submissions and adjustments need to be made soon.
AHHHH. Just saw this. Is there still time. Tell me I have at least two hours.
AHHHH. Just saw this. Is there still time. Tell me I have at least two hours.
You have a little more than 3 hours.
Thank you! Be done in two.

Lucia Remembers little of her early years Only that she was raised in a brothel in the far off land of Skexar. Where Talingarde is a kind and benevolent place Skexar was not. Her Master, A half fiend woman named Clove told her she was raised in a brothel, left there by her mother when she die in child birth. Clove saw in her great power and unimaginable intelligence and spirited her away from that horrid place. Only to bring her to a more horrid one. A sex slave house owned by Clove. Over the years Lucia learned her craft from this unholy woman but she also learned of the darkness in the world at her hands. The years of abuse darkened her soul. Asmodeous like Clove but only because it serves her interests. Clove eventually trusted her enough to send her on an important mission. She was to purchase a few poor farmers daughters in Talingarde. All was going well until a small army of paladins captured her and her crew before they could leave with their "goods". Now branded she faces a beheading. But she does not fear what ever evils await her in hell will be but a dream compared to the rest of her life.
Well due to bad weather on my end I accidentally gave more time than intended. But with that said, applications closed!
Ohohohoho I do not think you will find mine tasty
"Already taken."
Herand looks up at the conversation around him. "Careful, " he says just above a whisper, "lest you get the attention of the jailor. He was none to gentle with me." Unless that is their plan, he thinks.
I got a counter offer for you...instead of my soul, how about your get to enjoy one of my fine stews instead of being in one.
Looking forward to seeing who makes it in.
Well I finished reading everyone submissions, got some great ones, some that weren't so great, and some that decided to drop out, disappointingly. But they're all worth looking over and I'm glad I did. But I haven't chosen who I'm going to accept into the campaign yet.
Everyone I'm going to allow you the time until I make a post deciding who I accept in the campaign once and for all to make any adjustments to your characters or backgrounds that you see fit. If you do make any changes you need to notify me of them. I'm giving you this time because of the two reasons down below. You have somewhere around 24 hours, ish.
MazzT: You did not finish your character, you gave me a stat block but not a background.
Hel_Blackfist: Your post is confusing. Are you submitting a character? Are you not? Are you submitting Hal?
Hopefully, I qualify as a great submission.
I made a few spelling and grammar updates to my background and the tale of my crime but nothing that I would consider to meaningfully change my background or general motivations.
Good luck to all.
Changes I made to Baolo Tizden listed below:
Exchanged Power Attack for Intimidating Prowess
Swapped Con and Dex with all relevant changes to stats made. I see Baolo as more lumbering, than light-footed, final stat array after racial modifiers is:
Str 18
Dex 11
Con 15
Int 8
Wis 12
Cha 13
I know it's kind of an unspoken rule that you shouldn't tell anyone why they didn't make the cut but I say screw that it's my campaign recruitment.
Grorn Dimslag LE dwarf Cleric of Norgorber
Herand of the Moor Male human Magus (Hexcrafter). You were so close!
Darven Male Human LE Antipaladin (Tyrant, Dread Vanguard). You were very close as well but you did go openly preaching in an anti-Asmodeus Kingdom.
LE Human Cleric (Unholy Barrister) of Asmodeus. I loved your submission and there was a lot I could have done with it.
Erick the Strangler NE human Brawler (strangler). Keep Eric the Strangler on hand, I love his characte.
Topper Unchained NE human Rogue (Knife Master). I really felt the life you've bereaved into the character, another time in another campaign.
John Tyrel LE human Antipaladin of Achaekek. I like your character but there were better antipaladins that didn't make the cut.
Myza Sartva NE human Brawler (Venomfist/Snakebite Striker) I had a good feeling about you, it just wasn't enough.
And to the Vigilantes I just like to say I do like the characters but the "I'm not fully aware of what I'm doing" angle is just something I wouldn't have been able to play in to, sorry.
MattZ I had a good feeling about you too but I said that what I needed was a background and you didn't provide that. I'm sorry.
Casius Flann NE human Mesmerist
Lucia Dakara NE peri-blooded assimar Witch
Baolo Tizden NE human Barbarian (Dreadnought/Invulnerable Rager)
Venn D'or NE Male tiefling Slayer (Stygian Slayer)
Taldran Gerain LE human Cleric
Aviaun Koski NE Dhampire (Vetala-Born) Kineticist (Dark Elementalist)
To the victor go the spoils, or in this case go into the campaign and make a perception check. Put all relevant information including your background into your character profiles so I can easily find them. Also double check your character sheets to make sure everything is in order as according to my character creation rules.
To the rest of you I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. Go the knowledge that you did not make this easy for me because I didn't see one bad application!
Awesome. Thanks for the opportunity, Kobolum.
I'll have this alias setup shortly and will double-check all the creation rules in the process.
Looks like the gameplay and Discussion threads are still pending setup, but in the meantime after re-reviewing the free preview's creation rules, I realized I neglected to include the additional +2 hit points per level, so I've added that. Also dropped the second trait to include just the campaign "crime" trait.
The door to the cell swings open with a sudden bang! The jailor enters and points at Herand, saying only "You!"
Responding to nobody in particular, Herand slowly says "I guess it is my time to face the headsman." If something is going to happen, now is the time for it.
For those of you who didn't get in, my WotW game is currently looking for a couple of replacement characters for those who want to throw their hat in the ring.
Got left out of the list. :p
No, hot hp, sorry, early morning typo. It's a +2 skill point.
Thanks for the chance to participate and I look forward to gaming with those accepted! I made a few more adjustments, already reflected in the profile. Mainly moving the stats around to give him a bit more Dex and went back to Power Attack instead of intimidating prowess. Should be ready to go. I promise, no more waffling. ;)
