Legendary Planet - an Adventure beyond this World

Game Master Zesdead

Hey Zed, will there be a chance for Locke to upgrade armour and such things soon? As a Skald I'd like to grab medium armour and perhaps aim for a different weapon.

I'd bet there's some loot ahead of us. I feel pretty underequipped for 3rd level right now, so I'd say it's just around the corner.

...yep, without revealing too much, you're not that far off from discovering a new world, new civilisations, to boldly go where no GM Zed game has been before... and the pace of the game will definitely allow trading in stuff and re-provisioning / re-equipping.

Even a second arm!?

Drancis Level Up 3 (Kineticist)
Feat: Precise Shot
+5 HP (+3 CON) = 27 hp total
+1 BAB
+1 Will save
Skills: +6 (Bluff, Heal, Knowledge Dungeoneering, Knowledge Engineering, Perception, Stealth)
Elemental Overflow (Ex) +1
Infusion: Foe Throw

Drancis Level Up 3 (Kineticist)

+5 HP (+3 CON) = 29 hp total

Do you mean 27 total? You were on 19HP at Level 2 so plus 8 takes you to 27... unless there's favoured class and other stuff in there?

Even a second arm!?

You never know!!!

Sorry I meant to type 27 HP there. Fixed.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to divvy up the items and potions we just found. I'd say the paladin gets at least one of the CLW potions and the Aegis of Recovery, assuming that will work for an android.

Everyone else needs to pick a potion, the spur gun, and the composite longbow. We've finally hit some good stuff!

The aegis is definitely welcome with how often I go down. Though the saving throw bonus doesn't help me much. I can't use the gun or bow, but I'd take a second potion.

Can anyone else make much use of the Longbow? I suppose Zoreck could, but he has his gun. Illonna unfortunately does not currently have an arm with which to draw it. No point for Drancis to take it and neither Astraea or Rikkan has proficiency. So I suppose it falls to Locke for now?

It's yours, Locke! Kick much butt with it.

Question: What did we ultimately decide the nonproficiency penalty was for one of the spur guns? If it's -4, it might be worth me taking as a backup when my bombs are gone. If it's more than that, I probably wouldn't ever hit with it anyway.

I think Drancis would claim just one potion of CLW, leaving the other two with Illonna. I don't think he needs any of the other loot items we found.

Woot woot! Levelin' up now. Got some tough choices to make, so this might take a while.

Guys, I hate to reopen the longbow wound here, but what if I took Martial Weapon Proficiency: Longbow as my feat at this level...? My Dex bonus is only +1 but it'd at least give me reliable ranged damage to contribute with. That said, I'd want you guys' opinion on that before doing it. Or maybe I should get a feat to learn how to use that spur rifle...?

Yeah, I'm having a hard time picking a feat.

If you're trying to get weapon profs I honestly think it'd be better to dip into a class. It just seems silly to sink an entire feat on only one proficiency. Paladin is probably the best to synergize with oracle.

The War Blessing feat is pretty good if you wanted to pick up some weird abilities.

That's true, and now that I'm more awake and looking into it properly I can see that'd be a waste. I was thinking about multiclassing at one point, but oracles have that slightly-delayed spell level progression like sorcerers and I really want me some second-level spells sooner rather than later, so... I think I'm gonna stick to the path. Hopefully my new spells and revelations will make me a little more useful in a fight from here on out.

I realize now that the Heavens Mystery spell list is slightly gimped by the Stargazer archetype, as it loses most of the illusion (pattern) bonus spells it would normally receive as mystery bonuses, which would normally benefit greatly from the Awesome Display revelation. And being mostly-blind restricts my range with Spray of Shooting Stars. :\ Well, it may not be the world's most effective build, but I shall make it work, dangit!

I do get glitterdust next level, by the way, which is probably my favorite spell in the game.

Level Up Completed! Astraea is now an Oracle (Stargazer) 3.

-HP goes up by 6 (5 from HD plus 1 CON) to a total of 22 maximum hit points.
-BAB +1 (yes!)
-FORT and REF saves go up by 1 each, plus with the ABP resistance bonus, that's ANOTHER +1 to all three saves.
-I get a new Revelation. I went with Interstellar Void in an effort to expand my combat options.
-I get one extra Lv1 Spell per day, and I learned 1 new spell as well: burning disarm, as Rikkan suggested, and I think it'll work out well since we've faced a lot of creatures holding weaponry so far. I can now cast 6 Lv1 Spells each day.
-I got 6 skill points this level, not counting the 2 for Background Skills. I also put my Favored Class Bonus into skills this level for a total of 7 points. I put ranks in Diplomacy (+12/+13), Heal (+6), Knowledge Nature (+6), Knowledge Religion (+6), Perception (+10), Spellcraft (+8) and Survival (+6). Mostly trying to get ranks into all my class skills now. I also put my Background Skill points into my same two options to bump them both up to +8s.
-Finally, I get a feat this level. I took Extra Revelation again and picked up Spray of Shooting Stars for a bit of damage, even if my curse means I can't take full advantage of its range just yet.

So, between the new spell and both new revelations, I now have three new offensive options. Hooray! All of them are limited-use, but since I'm also on buffing and healing duties, I think I'll be okay. Let me know if anyone sees any discrepancies.

As for the loot from earlier, I'd be happy to take the potion of tongues, and I'll carry the other one (remove disease?) if nobody else wants it.

Oof, I forgot to pick Drancis's Background Skills for Leveling up. Just for simplicity's sake, he will increase both Profession (Architect) and Sleight of Hand.

As Locke is becoming a Skald I am considering taking the Lesser Spirit or Lesser Beast Totem rage power. Either of which will also help Rikkan and Astraea have some more use when they run low on their abilities. I realized that raging song might not always be taken by everyone but with careful choice of rage powers I can give others reasons to accept it sometimes.

Rikkan, the penalty for using the Spur Rifles (classified as an exotic weapon) is -4… the ‘Far-Flung Gladiator’ trait (taken by Zoreck) reduces this penalty (for Spur Rifles and any other Exotic Weapons that you come across) to -2.

Is it ok if Rikkan carries that spur rifle then?

There's probably been enough Spur Rifles used in fights with the Klaven that anyone who wants one can lay claim to one... note that each rifle has a magazine of six spurs and, thus far, you haven't seen any unused / fresh magazines.

Okay: Leveled up!

Highlights:

hp: 30
BAB: +3
New Feat: Precise Shot
New Class ability: Sword and Gun
Rage: 8 rounds/day

Check out Zoreck's Profile for full details.

Locke is almost entirely converted to Skald now. He still has to pick some spells and which skill to put his skill focus feat in (or perhaps to take Ancestral Weapon Mastery instead?) as well as his first rage power. He will be looking for some medium armour and either a shield or a two handed weapon the next chance he gets!

He is also quite a bit tankier now, and will continue to be so when I take Skald's Vigor at level 5.

Zed: Can I make a quick retcon for Zoreck's L3 skill distributions? I'd like to put 1 rank into Linguistics to learn Ultari. Let's say he's been working with Andretta during rest periods.

I was actually going to ask the same thing, since Locke already gained a rudimentary understading from Xenopidgin I figured picking up the language should be possible.

No problem... it makes sense that Andretta and / or BR-N3R will have provided those friends who are interested with a preliminary understanding of the language.

I know I just started playing again, but tomorrow I'm flying out to Los Angeles for a few days. After tonight, I will likely not be posting again until Monday. (I've never been to California before-- I'm really looking forward to this trip!)

I'll be at DragonCon from today through Monday, so I apologize in advance if my access to the boards is limited. I'll try to keep an eye on things here anyway, but I wanted to warn everybody ahead of time!

Update coming tomorrow morning UK time - you've reached a fairly crucial part of the adventure and I'd like a little bit of clear time to get a decent GM post up.

Folks, I am travelling between the UK and France today / tomorrow so will have limited availability to post... we are still waiting for Zoreck so, given my unavailability, I'm giving him another 24h (give or take) before I GMPC him and get the party started!!!

If I use a swift to Lay on Hands myself do I lose the staggered condition and get to take the rest of my turn?

If I use a swift to Lay on Hands myself do I lose the staggered condition and get to take the rest of my turn?

...you are staggered and therefore slower to move through this turn... but a Swift Action for LoH will remove your Disabled / Staggered condition and I've got no problem with you having the rest of a normal turn.

Well guys, I think it is important we are all on the same page here as I believe the Gate is about to go...nuclear here, he he. I think Zoreck has the right idea in jumping through the gate now. I don't think it (or Garsilt station for that matter) will be here next round.

Thoughts? Do you think there is any time left to prevent the collapse of the Gate?

I'm going through the gate this round. Just need a chance to write up a good post. There's still a Klaven in front of me, right?

Yeah, I guess we don't have much choice anymore do we? I'll go through too if I can get this Klaven out of the way.

19 on my bull rush attempt...that's cutting it close. The Klaven would need a CMD of 14 or less I think.

19 on my bull rush attempt...that's cutting it close. The Klaven would need a CMD of 14 or less I think.

Yeah, following the rules, die rolls and stats, you would have just missed on your attempt... but the Rule of Cool wins out every time in such circumstances!!!

......

Also... Congratulations!!! not only have you all escaped a terrible fate at the Garsilt Research Facility, you have also, the moment that you stepped through the gate, awoken a sleeping potential within yourselves... Each of you gains a Mythic Tier!!! Note that the Mythic Feat associated with this Mythic Tier is automatically selected for you as below:

Morphic Nature
Each time you traverse an interplanetary gate, you automatically adapt and acclimate to a new world.
Benefit: When passing through an interplanetary gate, you experience an instantaneous and permanent physical transformation to facilitate survival on a new world. This includes environmental compatibility with the local atmosphere (as determined by the planetary atmosphere at the time of the gate’s crafting, but not the ability to survive in a hard vacuum). You also acclimate to local diseases, such that you still prove susceptible to disease, but retain no special vulnerability to alien pathogens on other worlds. You also learn the rudiments of the local Common language, speaking, reading, and writing a passable dialect (though this may not become evident until interacting with a given world’s native inhabitants). When you pass through a gate to another planet, these benefits are lost or exchanged for acclimation to the new world.

I am going to assume it will take you a couple of days to work out which mythic path you'll take... so that's probably your jobs for the weekend... and we'll pick up the story proper on Monday / Tuesday.

Woot! We survived!

That is a really cool idea for a mythic feat. I hadn't even thought about us environmentally in a different world! That's awesome.

I'll try and get Rikkan ready this weekend.

I've already got mine!

Mythic Path: Champion

Champion's Strike: Distant Barrage

Path Ability: Mythic Rage

I'll update Zoreck's profile over the weekend.

I think I'm going with the Trickster path.

Trickster attack is Deadly Throw.

Path ability is Assured Drinker to let me quickly chug those extracts.

At least those are my initial thoughts.

Yeah that mythic feat is super cool. I hope we end up in all kinds of interesting worlds that make our character's bodies transform in weird ways, haha.

Before doing too much research I am leaning toward Marshal for my path as Locke fits the role well, but I will look over powers and the like first.

Yes we did survive...though it was touch and go there for a moment there, he he.

As for Drancis' Mythic Tier abilities, since he has an Occult class Paizo has no set rules for them. I will see about finding a third-party supplement for him, though it may take some time.

Hmmmm, that's an interesting conundrum... reading around, I found someone who has run an Aether Kineticist as:

'I did a layout of the build. Champion and trickster will provide nice versatility by upping kinetic blast damage on ranged attacks and champion will provide greater accuracy with successive melee attacks. Sudden strike and fleet charge will mean my kinetic weapon will have a lot of use. With path dabbling i plan on taking the guardian fast healing ability as an emergency backup for when my hp approaches my nonlethal total. I'm excited to see my mythic aether kineticist in action! Thank you to everyone for your advice and thoughts.'

Of course, don't forget we won't be going full bore with Mythic... I think the folks at Legendary Games are thinking it will max out around four or five...

If you do find something 3pp, then please run it past me before setting your heart on it.

Would you allow the Marshal's Lightning Performance to work the same way on Raging Song?

Funny you should mention Legendary Games, as I did see a cool sourcebook they put out: Mythic Heroes Handbook. It does have the Psionic/Occultist path detailed (called Overmind) which sounds like it would be right up Drancis' alley!

I will check out the current Mythic Paths first, as the build you mentioned could also work for him.

I have the Mythic Heroes Handbook... if you do want to go down the Overmind route, then we could take a look at that.

Edit: although having looked at it, it does seem to be heavily geared towards the Dreamscarred Press version of Psionics... on a first look, I'm not 100% sure there is much for a kineticist in there...

Would you allow the Marshal's Lightning Performance to work the same way on Raging Song?

Yep, that sounds entirely sensible...

OK, I will just stick with the Trickster path then.

Trickster Attack: Deadly Throw.

Path ability: Ricochet.

A clarification please: Will Drancis be able to use these Mythic abilities with his Kinetic Blast ability?

All right cool. It seems these paths are very much geared toward the core and base classes, so I may have similar questions in the future when choosing powers and feats. (Though I certainly want that Mythic Power Attack one day!)

I am thinking Marshal Path

Marshal's Order: Rally

Path Ability: Lightning Performance

I am hoping to pick up a Falchion or Greatsword the next chance I get to increase my damage output.

Interplanetary Adventure, New Worlds, Ancient Civilizations, Alien Species, and more, with a delightful mix of magic and technology, Legendary Games brings you a sword-and-planet adventure path; authored by some of the biggest names in the RPG business. Legendary Planet will take your characters across the multiverse, traveling alien gateways created by ancient, god-like beings to exotic worlds and back again in an incredible campaign like none other. Sword-swingers and spell-slingers stand alongside scoundrels and seekers for cosmic enlightenment as they unravel conspiracies and cryptic alliances bent on universal domination... or annihilation!

This epic saga begins with a prelude adventure beginning the campaign in a more traditionally prosaic fantasy setting, a pastoral world to which only the first fingers of alien influence have yet been stretched… Golarion…

A strange sickness afflicts the frontier settlement of Holver's Ferry - a nearly forgotten village in the Varisian forest of Churlwood - threatening to overwhelm its citizens with an alien madness. Already the town has nearly torn itself apart, and the local sheriff is missing. When the PCs brave the surrounding wilderness as the village's latest newcomers, the beleaguered townsfolk desperately turn to them for assistance. But can these erstwhile heroes trace the diseased carrier to its source and solve the mystery before they, too, succumb to The Assimilation Strain?

The ‘Crunch’

• Characters start the adventure as Level 1
  
• All classes are acceptable (including the oft-maligned Gunslinger, Samurai, Ninja and Summoner – note that the Pathfinder Unchained version of the Summoner is preferred to the original APG version).
  
• 20-point ability buy (no stat lower than 8 / higher than 18 AFTER racial bonuses / penalties).
  
• Maximum HP for your class (further level increases in HP shall be average for class rounded up)
  
• Core and Featured Races from the Advanced Race Guide are acceptable.
  
• One trait maybe selected – a further campaign trait from the Legendary Planet Players Guide will become available when you reach Level 3 and start the ‘To Worlds Unknown’ adventure.
  
• Average starting gold for your class.
  
• Non-evil alignments only.
  
• All character options must originate from Paizo published Pathfinder products; No 3rd Party Materials.
  
• …and, the number one important rule…build a character that you care about…and have fun!!!

Your characters will start their adventure at an inn on the road between the Varisian cities of Riddleport and Magnimar - why they are travelling between the cities and whether they know each other is entirely up to you...

Recruitment will be open for a week and a half, during which time I will try and answer any questions, with an expected close date of 19th September, Midnight GMT. I will make my selection over the following weekend and look to start the adventure around the 23rd September. The selected persons must be able to commit to posting at least once per day during the week.

I don't know yet if I'll try this one, but I know that Mister Z is a very good GM.

Dot for great interest as well as an endorsement for Zed - you couldn't ask for a better GM!

Leaning toward a Drunken Master monk...though if the game my (Unchained) summoner is in ends like it looks like it might, I'll adjust her profile and apply with her. Either way, I hope characters with a bit of a comedic bent won't be frowned on - but don't worry, either of them can be serious when it's warranted!

My, this is tempting! I'm not sure if I have time to join another campaign, but I'll echo Eschie's and Ladile's sentiments: Zed is an excellent GM!

Are archetypes from Paizo sources allowed? I'm considering a barbarian with the Savage Technologist archetype (from Numeria: Land of Fallen Stars). I'd probably take the Amateur Gunslinger feat somewhere along the line, too.

How do you feel about characters that are a little less intelligent than others? Been wanting to play my Pathfinder version of my original D&D character, and Deko not tu gud at thunkin'. Otherwise, I got a bunch of different ideas. Also, how do you feel about some of the Paizo alien races, like the Lashunta, Kasathas, and Androids?

This does look good!

I've been wanting to play a diviner type for a while. The whole "travelling through Varisia" thing gives me an idea for a wandering fortune teller. Probably going for a Shaman.

I may throw my hat into the ring. Can I play an android?

The more I think about this, the more I want to play a character loosely based on Sean Connery's character Zed from the terrible-yet still-great 1971 film Zardoz.

Zed: I'm sending you a PM regarding a technical question about game mechanics...

Dotting. I might modify the character I submitted to Rednal's Legendary Planet recruitment (which does not fit the requirements you gave without significant modification), or I might submit an entirely new character.

You certainly have my interest.

DM Lil' Eschie, Lady Ladile and Haladir - you're very kind...

Lady Ladile - No problem at all with characters that lapse into comedic moments / observations / misfortunes - as per, 'the most important rule', please suggest a character that you really want to play... If it isn't the most serious character the whole time, then that's fine - although don't be surprised if I also select someone to act as a dramatic counterpoint!!!

Haladir - I have PM'd you re: the Savage Technologist archetype.

DekotheBarbarian / Nohwear - yes, Androids are most definitely allowed - Kasatha and Lashunta are not, in the first instance, permitted... When the adventure goes off world, there may be opportunity to select an alien race (in the unfortunate event that some terrible xenomorph ends the interplanetary career of your original character too soon).

DekotheBarabarian - as per my answer to Lady Ladile, if you really want to play an intellectually challenged character then that's completely okay (Guilty secret, I have also hankered to play my first ever D&D character in a PF game - the imaginitvely named 'Dillan the Dextrous': guess the min/maxed stat!!!) - note the stat requirements though; minimum stat is 8...

Dotting for interest. Intrigued at the moment, never heard of Legendary Planet before. Would gunslingers be Okay, and how would be to acquire certain items (re:ammo for instance) when off Golarion?

*smashes through the door lands, rolls, looks around and snatches the nearest chair for himself regardless of the granny sitting in it*

Interested.

*looks at Tark's chair*

My lunch was on that chair...

Dot-a-doodle.

It belongs to my bum now.

Okay, I hope you're not allergic to peanuts...

Interested, I'll be back.

Dotting for interest! I will play a martial type character most likely.

Hmmm... I told myself I wasn't going to apply for this... but it sounds pretty awesome, and there's so many familiar names... and it seems like such a great adventure for my eclectic (odd) astronomer...

Purely hypothetically... are you at all open to allowing wildblooded bloodlines with the eldritch heritage feats (or VMC sorcerer, I suppose)?

Forgot to ask earlier, but are you planning to make use of any Unchained content besides allowing/encouraging Unchained classes? Such as background skills, VMCing and the like?

The Archlich - Legendary Planet is an AP under development by Legendary Games - the second instalment, 'To Worlds Unknown' is about to be published and after that, the plan is to write adventures all the way up to level 20. A Kickstarter for the adventure was run over the summer and raised enough to produce seven separate adventures with associated articles, bestiaries, gazetteers and fiction...

This is the Link to The Legendary Planet Kickstarter

And, because it's cool and it gives a little taster - after 'The Assimilation Strain', we move on to...

To Worlds Unknown is the first chapter in the adventure path written by Jim Groves, a 64-page adventure for 2nd to 5th level player characters.

Fire. And a choking haze of smoke blurring the luminous glow of strange lights on the walls and floor. Shouts. And an ever-present ringing in your ears, piercing your brain with the sharp trauma of an urgent alarm. You stumble from a bed you don't recognize, and into the path of strangers you don't know--some disturbingly alien, yet all fleeing an unknown catastrophe. Where are you? How did you get here? What is happening? There are no easy answers to these questions. But your opportunity to discover them starts now. And they're destined to take you To Worlds Unknown.

From there....

The Scavenged Codex is the second chapter in the adventure path written by Mike Shel for 5th to 8th level player characters. This adventure takes place on a post-apocalyptic desert planet.

Dead Vault Descent is the third chapter in the adventure path written by Matt Goodall for 8th to 11th level player characters. This adventure takes place on the blasted surface and the endless catacombs of a tidally-locked world.

Confederates of the Shattered Zone is the fourth chapter in the adventure path written by Richard Pett for 11th to 14th level player characters. This adventure takes place on a shattered world, amid the abandoned mining colonies of the asteroid belt.

The Depths of Desperation is the fifth chapter in the adventure path written by Steven T. Helt for 14th to 17th level player characters. This adventure takes place on a water world with little to no land mass.

Mind Tyrants of the Merciless Moons is the sixth chapter in the adventure path written by Tim Hitchcock for 17th to 19th level player characters. This adventure takes place among the moons of a gas giant.

To Kill A Star is the seventh chapter in the adventure path written by Jason Nelson for 19th to 20th level player characters. This adventure takes place on a constructed Dyson-sphere surrounding a waning star.

The AP will touch on a number of design areas not routinely covered by Paizo's own offerings: Play up to Level 20, the possibility of Psionics (using Dreamscarred's rules) and alsothe option of some Mythic play.... So yeah, pretty exciting!

Definitely dotting for interest. I think I'm going to try playing a Paladin (might even consider android, even though there's a lot of interest in it already).

Any potential applicants looking to link backstories?

You mentioned no 3rd party at character creation; if we wanted to jump into psionics later, would there be some manner of retcon available?

I try not to run an ability under 8 anyway.

As for Kasathas, it's written in their entry that they actually live on Golarion, mostly in the wilds of Numeria.

No one is quite sure how kasathas first came to Golarion, even the kasathas have differing accounts. The fact that they are primarily found in the wilds and hidden places of Numeria suggests that they have some relation to the androids and other strange beings of that savage land.

I second the question on psionics.
Whenever I am thinking of travel and exploration I think of my favorite psion Nomad Midioto :) a very fast and hyperactive elan (sometimes hes a gnome).
However if psionics is a no-go then next comes Bosh, the Very Bouncy Goblin Roof Running Rogue (that's a mouthful :p)
I just got to come up with a reason for Bosh to not get lynched at first sight in the tavern :/

Can I take a drawback? (Cuz they are fun)
Edit: well never mind on the name Bosh, at one point I know I had that name on an alias but apparently changed it and then someone else snatched it up :/
New name incoming!

How do you feel about reflavoring content? Are you open to it (within reason) or would you rather have things played as close to the source material as possible?

This has caught my attention. Now comes the hard part: Coming up with a character. I've been wanting to try a battle cleric, or maybe something else...

The Archlich - Firearms, I shall go with my Golarion default of them being ‘Emerging’ technology – although as you move to different worlds, the tech level will certainly change!!! As to acquiring ammo, etc - I haven't seen the adventures that follow 'the Assimilation Strain' but I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity when off-world to resupply...

Nate Lange - I don't see any problem with that.

Lady Ladile / All - as a minimum for variant rules, I expect to use Hero Points, Variant Multiclassing (from Pathfinder Unchained) and Automatic Bonus Progression (again from Pathfinder Unchained).

Redblade8 / Gobo Horde - Psionics don't come in until fairly late (as far as I know!!!) but I am sure there will be ways of getting to play with the Dreamscarred classes at some point - I think the Paizo Occult classes are also likely to come into play in later adventures... although you can select those classes from the outset.

Johnnycat93 - No problem with reflavouring content...

DekotheBarbarian - There are Kasathas, true enough... But I think they are also exceptionally rare... Mechanically though, I think there is also the balance issue of being a four-armed humanoid / much like the balance issues you get with 'flying at level 1' races such as the Strix - so, for now, I'm still looking to keep folks on Core and Featured Races from the ARG but... with other Golarion themed races by request - Android is Now Allowed.

Gobo Horde - okay then... two traits with one drawback is now allowed...

Can android's use the 3pp favored class bonuses or are they limited to only +1 hp/skill point?

Mmkay, I can respect that. I think I know what I'm gonna go for then.

Johnnycat93 - think I will stick with the 'no 3pp' rule for now: it's a little too early in recruitment to be opening Pandora's Box!!!

How do you feel about characters from Rahadoum? And would you allow Androids to come from places other than Numeria?

Prospective Spacefarers!!!

This may be useful:

The overall plotline of the campaign will whisk PCs to many unknown places, and any character capable of shedding light on the unknown will secure a significant role in helping others adapt to their situation. Classes with options that involve Knowledge and the pursuit of it, such as the Knowledge domain for clerics, the Knowledge mystery and spirit, the Archivist bard archetype, the Mindchemist alchemist archetype, and even the Cloistered Cleric archetype can certainly excel at unraveling the mysteries presented by the adventure path. The Investigator class can also fit very well here, and their ability to boost their skills to address certain situations can prove handy indeed.

The Legendary Planet Adventure Path also deals with planet-hopping and should prove a natural fit for characters who ponder and have connections to the stars, giving them much to ruminate about and play up the angle of being far from home. Thus, oracles and shamans with the heavens mystery or spirit should feel right at home, as would any sorcerer with the starsoul bloodline.

Given the many different shapes and sizes of alien races, this adventure path also presents a fine opportunity for alchemist characters to delve into stranger discoveries such as wings, vestigial arms, or even a tumor familiar. In addition, their bombs may find creative use in many different situations involving alien physiology and technology, ensuring they can meaningfully contribute during all phases of gameplay.

Bards are also welcomed almost anywhere, and can easily enrapture locals at taverns and other public places with tales of far-flung locations, exotic beasts, and wondrous magic. For players who enjoy telling stories, this adventure path will present many opportunities for roleplay in winning over such inhabitants.

Some classes, such as monks, inquisitors and paladins, often tie themselves more strongly to certain organisations than other classes. But, given the planet-hopping nature of this campaign, it’s best to limit this restriction so your character has more adventuring freedom while exploring the multiverse. That said, other opportunities should arise later in the adventure path to align these characters to similar organisations and coalitions. Thus, playing character such as these can still provide interesting options and opportunities.

Given the themes of the sword-and-planet genre, gunslingers and swashbucklers should fit very well with this campaign. With their heroic abilities and daring deeds, each should enable a higher sense storytelling and dynamic play at the table.

Did you post that just to entice me to apply? because it's kind of working...

My character submission shall be an Android Inquisitor(Empiricist) that works for the Rahadoum Pure Legion.

Hmmmmmmm...
Dot

If I apply it will be with a dark tapestry oracle with the eldritch heritage feats for the starsoul[void-touched] bloodline. Probably human.

if...

Well after thinking about this further, I am considering a Kineticist (most likely Aether) and possibly picking up some levels in SoulKnife (from Dreamscarred Press) later on.

Note: I meant Investigator, not Inquisitor. My bad >.<

How does thou feel about a middle aged academic wizard with an apprentice going through a midlife crisis?

Dot. Thinking about a character to submit.

I'm starting to think a Mesmerist, in all likelihood a half-orc. Very probably with a bit of a dip into Sensate Fighter. Stats to follow.

Presenting Abxy Qwerty, Android Investigator of the Rahadoum Pure Legion. Raised for 7 years in the Pure Legion since the 'death' of his body's previous personality and his 'birth', he had always known how disastrous trusting in the gods could be. Finding himself with a good intelligence and a knack for finding secrets, he devoted himself to ferreting out any religious worshipers residing in his country. One day, hearing rumors of an uncontrollable disease in Varisia that may have it's roots in the divine, regardless of above or below, Abxy was sent to investigate and report on if it would be a danger to Rahadoum.

If the background doesn't work, whether because you don't want us knowing about the disease before hand or something else, let me know and I can change it. Otherwise, what do you think about the crunch?

I legitimately hope that there ends up a party of all Androids

Would be kinda funny, especially since they all start out without the ability to really feel emotions. So we'd have a bunch of emotionless characters trying to save the world (or whatever it is we end up doing).

Add another endorsement for GM Zed. Excellent GM.

That said, I'm thinking of going Summoner.

An archer ranger will be forthcoming.

Zed: To clarify your answer to Lady Ladile's question... That's a "No" on Background Skills?

I have a few ideas I'd like to explore with this campaign, but I am not sure which to go with. This campaign is just so wide open to weird and unusual character ideas.

I'm not submitting a character - I'm actually running this for another group here on the forums - but as someone who backed the campaign, I can assure everyone that you're applying for a GREAT game. This AP is definitely worth playing. ^^
