Hey quick question Heterocephalus, You said originally the arena was in Tian Xia. After that you gave lore about Katapesh. Where is the arena for clarification for all player?
is in katapesh on the same continent of Tian Xia southeast of osirion
My other concept was a Human (Staff) Magus 2 Gladiator 3

I'm intrigued now. I think I'll put forth that Orc Scarred Witch Doctor that I mentioned on the other thread. He'll probably be either a heel or berserker. I just need to think of a signature move for someone who likes causing pain to himself and others.
go ahead lol....omg...what I got myself into.now.....more dilemmas...
Katapesh in Garund :P Tian Xia is north of Avistan, or really far east.
Sheesh everyone is making characters similar to mine xD. Also Heterocephalus, don't crack under the pressure. Keep this interesting, organized, and fun and you'll be ok.
ewwww the map I checked shows katapesh south of osirion
lol currently I am running a campaign of 7 players lol really hectic lol But for this if entries get very good I am willing 8 max! for combat I will set 12 hrs time constraints for you to take an action per round if not the battle resume skipping player turns to speed things up.

Looks good. So what weapon is he using?
Name:Chasik
Race: Nagaji
Class: Staff Magus 2 / Gladiator 3
Alignment: CN
Starting debt:
Persona: Heel/Braggart
Reputation:
Signature Move: Serpent's Sting (trip, acrobatics to jump and flip in the air, landing with a two-handed downward thrust into opponent's chest.
Appearance: Standing a modest 5' 7" with prismatic scales covering his body, he embraces his heritage, his Naga heritage. He wears little armor to show of his shiny scales.
Backstory: A group of "collectors" hunted down his clan and took Chasik as a prize. They took him back to the arena and raised him solely as a "worker" in the arena. Making money hand over fist because of his rarity and skill to blend staff and sword.
Looks good. So what weapon is he using?
he uses the dwarven Dorn-Dergar basiclly a large steel ball on the end of a chain.
from Dwarves of Golarion:
Dwarven Dorn-Dergar: This exotic weapon is a 10-foot-long, heavy metal chain weighted at the end by a round ball of solid iron about
the size of a large fist. By adjusting the slack of the chain, the weapon can be used either with or without reach. Changing between using
it as a normal weapon and a reach weapon is a move action. Though fallen into disuse over the spanning centuries, the dorn-dergar is
still sometimes employed by dwarves who cling to the old ways.
Dwarves treat dorn-dergars as martial weapons
nice. Anyway guys I notice a lot of braggards. any chance some of you might consider joker and showy?
I'll look at showy to see if I can make it work.
EDIT: I looked them over and I think The Highlander could make a go with Joker huling those scottiish insults at the opponent.
EDIT Downloaded my random scottish insult generator
lol yeah Scottish jokes. remind me William Wallace
yeah i saw a lot of braggarts so i went backstaaaaaabb

Just curious DM, when should we expect the arena games to begin?
Latest Sat we will start 1st post.
I will be closing recruitment in 6 more hours. So do submit your character concept soon. Thanks!
Jobasha will be Jaguar's real name
might change to ninja vice rogue. same idea though
Sorry, this website was down just about every time I came here to post. I just have to choose a few more feats and my sheet will be mostly done.
Determine nick name for yourself: Iron Hands
Nickname for your signature move: Fury's Embrace: Treiden grabs his opponent, knees them in the stomach with alternating legs then drop kicks them out of the hold. [ooc](1st turn) Grapple, (2nd turn) Flurry beginning with stunning fist and normal attacks for the remainder.
Determine fighting style: Exotic (Nine Section Whip)
Have you considered having our characters gestalt with the Gladiator class to encourage versatility? Basically you could take levels normally but you'd always be gestalted with Gladiator. It could keep things interesting...
hmmm interesting. Well I will put that thought on hold first though maybe later when it's time to level then we can discuss about this then.
Hey sorry finished character yesterday at work but the site was under maintenance.
Style is Beast Fighter.
Signature Move is : The Last Rite
so can we start with both traits as signature moves?
if so did you say we can just do a normal full attack as a signature move like flurry?
hmmmmm after looking at some of the catfolk fluff i might change to a signature move using my claws, or might just work that in somewhere.
a signature move is made up of 3 actions and is considered a full round action. I don't understand your 2 traits signature question.

Actually would vanara be a viable race for you?
I thought you said a signature move was final once created and the only way to get another was to take the trait signature move again?
Ok my bad, signature move is final and can never be changed. So it's 3 actions as a full round action. the traits in this campaign are actually your persona.
Ok i am changing "The Jaguar" Jobasha's class to ninja, signature weapon to claws, gladiator style to dual blades, and signature move will be known now as "Bloodclaw" and will consist of: feint -> move (acrobatics) -> claw sneak attack. basically he fakes the opponent out, once their guard is down, flips/rolls in and slashes at their exposed area with his claws. on a successful feint the attack will be a sneak attack and will cause bleeding (via bleeding attack ninja trick) of 1 pt per turn, slowly killing them in a crowd-pleasing way
very nice sounds like a crowd pleaser lol
So to clear things up, we don't take traits then?
oops, nickname is Bash
Yup no traits just persona guys.
Cool, thanks heading to the tavern.
E-Gad! I'd hate to be mixing potions in the same room as the Alchemist with WIS 7, lol!
Whoops! Missed these:
hmmm interesting. Well I will put that thought on hold first though maybe later when it's time to level then we can discuss about this then.
It's fun. Some people don't enjoy the power curve but it's a whole lot of fun. We used to do it as a way to make small parties fill a lot of roles.
Actually would vanara be a viable race for you?
I considered it but I have a hard time playing anthropomorphic creatures. I'm not sure where it stems from.
Alright, I will take all 8 of you guys. Sigh I hope you guys start dying off in the arena so life will be easier for me then. :P
Alright concept over. Please flesh out your character today if possible and check in to the tavern once it's done so I know you are ready. Lastly, we will start gameplay once all check in but take some time to think the opening. The game will start with the last 15 mins when you are still a free man, live out the 15 mins before you here taken or captured. When you wake, you will find yourself in a cage travelling towards the slave market.
then i assume skip ahead in time until after we have gained 3 levels of gladiator?
nope, just the carriage. the opening act, after which you will be purchased. After training perhaps you will gain your 3 levels
is this what we should type in our opening post? or will this be a back and forth between players and GM? if so, i assume it will be non-combat since we already have our gladiator levels on our characters...
Maybe like a flashback you know..
The situation looks hopeless as your gripped the your sword tightly while facing the oncoming horde. You braced yourself as the orcs bash through the door as you strike down the first one that came in.
Blah Blah Blah...
As you turned around, you saw a club came rushing into your face as you got knocked into darkness. As you fell laying on the ground you slowly slip into darkness...
I am sorry Cassandra....I have fail you....
You awoke to the gentle swaying of the carriage as the hot sun beats down on you. You groaned and woke up and looked around you. The first thing that hit your nostril is the familiar stench of death and unwash bodies. You found yourself locked in a cage etc etc etc
Then after the flashback and stating you are in the cage, our story will start from there. Imagine Russel Crow gladiator show how he lay beside the grave of his wife and son before he awoke ina cage with wounds tended by his African friend?
Sigh I hope you guys start dying off in the arena so life will be easier for me then. :P
Uh oh... It's never a good sign when a DM actively looks to trim down the players.
I think my sheet is just about finished. Feel free to check it over for inconsistencies and whatnot. When I get a chance I'll write up a dream sequence/flashback jibba-jabba whatnot.
Lol it's the arena!!! Anyway do you may add in the flashback in your profile but it shed be in your 1st gameplay post
I hate to do this, but my RL is demanding I spend a little less time on the boards. So I'm gonna back out of this one. It sounds really fun, but I can't give it the time it deserves right now. There, now you only have 7 players :P
