This is a semi-closed recruitment thread for my second table of the Legendary Planet Adventure Path.
The following characters from the first recruitment round have been pre-selected for the adventure:
- Kaloora Plimp, Goblin Gunslinger
- Ravboom, Goblin Barbarian
- Sparky, Goblin Rogue
And the following folks are invited to pitch either their original characters (background modified to have some association with a group of goblins) or a goblinoid character:
- Mimesyne
- Chainmail
- DekotheBarbarian
- Tangefree
- Mr. Whatever
- Lady Ladile
- Evgeni Genadiev
- TheWaskally
- Warhawk7
- Redblade8
- Artemis Moonstar
- Tharasiph
Recruitment will be open until the 30th September, midnight GMT.
Just to reiterate – especially as things moved around in response to people’s requests, the character requirements / house rules for this adventure are:
- 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 AFTER racial bonuses / penalties – No Upper Limit).
- 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 – other Paizo published races from the Campaign Setting are subject to GM discretion.
- One trait / Two traits with a Drawback maybe selected – a further campaign trait from the Legendary Planet Player’s Guide will become available when you reach Level 3 and start the ‘To Worlds Unknown’ adventure.
- Background Skills from Pathfinder Unchained: Characters get an additional 2 skill points which must be spent on Background Skills.
- Average Starting Gold for your class.
- Non-Evil alignments only.
- All character options must originate from Paizo published Pathfinder products; No 3rd party Materials…
Note also that we will be using:
I feel joy that my suggestion for game title has been used....
Now to decide on Szinorvir, or go in for a Goblin... I REALLY like Szinorvir, and can easily edit his backstory to account for goblins...
Hey, GM... Can we edit the Wayang Spellhunter trait? The fluff of it anyways? The core of it is using magic while hunting, nothing really pertaining to the Wayang themselves.
Szinorvir could have popped out of a "sacred cave" of some sort, and thanks to his "Dizzy-Fun Powder" (among other drugs in his background stash), got taken in by the Goblins instead. Thus, he has a very vested interest in taking care of the goblin village...
Plus, Sparky likes his Bufo spiked with Shiver, among other things.
I think I'm gonna pitch in a goblin. Would you allow the medium goblin variant from the Monster codex? Gonna pair that with the fighter archetype from Giant Hunter's Handbook and maybe variant multiclass with barbarian.
DekotheBarbarian - no problem with you using the oversized goblin racial trait.
Also, my erstwhile goblins... We're going to need a name for the tribe...
The Birdbrain tribe!
The "We not Evil so don't kill us!" Tribe
We-no-ev-so-don-ki-us Tribe for short.
The Screamrot Clan
The Stinkfury Gang
The Bigtongue Clan
The Wormrot Clan
The Blackshade Brigade
The Spinerot Horde
The Bigrot Pack
Scabby Eye Tribe
Yellow Eye Tribe
Creeping Death Tribe
Forest Scuttlers Tribe
Gaping Maw Tribe
Rootgrubba Tribe
Burnin’ Face Tribe
Red Eye Tribe
Alright I will throw down my dot here for now :)
Over the next day or so I will go over my character and make sure everything is in line, then redo whatever sections of my background need to be done to make him still a part of the goblin tribe (just to be clear, we want our characters to be a part of this tribe, and start in it?).
As for the name of the goblin tribe, I currently have Sparky as hailing from the Vex Valley goblin tribe whos chief is named Stabbedgutz, we could use that? If not, names are easy enough to change :)
Rav can't really be part of a goblin tribe, given he's an amateur gunslinger. It wouldn't make a lot of sense. I was going to have him not be from the tribe. His background would be mostly the same.
Well, Kaloora is a Gunslinger, but he doesn't have his tribe anymore. He could have been adopted by a different tribe, I guess - but maybe we could be a nomad subset near one of the human cities.
True, but that argues more towards them both having an odd background than being from the same tribe. Guns are rare, and goblins with guns should be whacky as heck. :)
Maybe not a tribe of goblins then? Maybe the gunslinger types were raised up by the same gunsmith?
I literally found the gun and trained myself in it (just read Kaloora's background if you want to have some laughs). If you're an Amateur Gunslinger, in theory Kaloora could have taken you as an apprentice (God, this sounds even more awful when I type it lol). Gotta love gobbos
Here is my Goblin submission: Biggun Walker, the Goblin Titan Fighter.
Will have his in depth background and stuff posted tomorrow. Went with the Advantageous Distraction and Dirty Fighter traits, and the Headstrong drawback. Planning on variant multiclassing into Barbarian (wish that Titan Fighter and Viking meshed :( ).
*Waves flag I'd still like an answer to this previous erm... Question without a question mark.

Artemis - yeah, go ahead and refluff that trait...
Some cool names for the tribe... Although, taking Ravboom's point - not everyone will originally be from that group of goblins... We can sort out the final details when we have the final group selected...
...don't forget - I will be making my final choice on Thursday (with recruitment closing on Wednesday - midnight GMT)...
@Deko the Barbarian. How did you manage to get 2 17s (Str and Con) on a 20pb? Also, what weapon are you planning to use? I figure that a -4 to hit for using an oversized 2-handed weapon would be harsh at lvl 1 :)
Me again!
Just to say I'm still here, here is my preferred character concept to out forward! I'll have her more formally packaged asap!
(Yet to be Named)
Race: Gnome
Class: Cleric, Oracle, Druid, or Sorcerer (honestly, any of these wold work depending on the party's comp, which seems to be in need of any of these)
Will finish fleshing her out layer today!

Oversized goblin gets a +2 to Str, so that accounts for a few free points. Going with a large horsechopper, just forgot to factor in the atk penalty which will make it a total bonus of 0 until I start decreasing the penalty.
Ah, oversized goblin, now that makes sense :) I was wondering how a goblin with -2 str got a 17 ^-^
Now I will have to look up the oversized goblin as that sounds super cool!
It's in the Monster codex.
Alrighty. Got something a little more formal done. She's definitely not your standard oracle, but an oracle of flame. With a focus on fire. And a little bit of putting them out. But mostly starting them.
As an oracle, she does get access to all the restoration spells and other defensive goodies (albeit at a level later than the clerics). Thought it might be useful to have those around :P
I wasn't sure if you wanted stats, so I made them anyways. Equipment isn't done yet, though.
An unstable menace. That's what they called her. No, no! They just didn't appreciate her art! So she'd take her art to those who were more appreciative of such things! At least that was how Solie rationalized her decision to burn down the front door of a local goblin tribe with ludicrous demands of being granted citizenship. It's a good thing they were too fascinated with her flickering displays of flames to protest or she'd likely have been spit roasted on the spot.
Since taking up residence within the tribe, her astounding skill with fire earned her a little following of goblins. A following she developed into a cult that worshiped fire before all other gods. Needless to say, the local shaman who demanded respects be paid to Lamashtu and her barghests was not particularly pleased. This sparked an ongoing rivalry between the two parties, most often ending with the other shaman's hut on fire and a train of he said she said when the chief comes in to shut them both up.
More recently, she has put her cults' energies into something more productive than harassing the other shaman. She's set them to work trying to capture the sun! The magnificent ball of burning fire in the sky! With that, they would be unstoppable! So far they've tried catapulting devout members towards the sun (3 dead, 5 maimed horribly), building flying contraptions (1 dead, 2 injured, 1 paralyzed), and now they are trying to build a ladder to reach it. If this fails, they'll be trying a lasso next.

AWESOME! Totally gonna pitch a character ASAP!
Psychics are allowed right? XD
Szinorvir reporting with an updated background. The background is pretty much the same. I just added in the encounter where he used up pretty much the last of his drug stash, and was "befriended" by goblins (with very painful pointy objects aimed at him) and persuaded to come back to the village.
This allows a couple of options. 1, he can already be in the village before the problems begin. 2, the group of goblins that "picked him up", as it were, were a raiding party or something and he hasn't gotten to the village yet at the start of the game.
Or if neither of those work, I'm sure something can be arranged, seeing as I know nothing of the goblin village I'm just shooting in the dark here.
Edit: wrong alias
Sorry, meant to have this up earlier.
Anywho, here's the background and what I'm going for with this character.
This discovery brought on an obsession. He would learn to use the biggest weapons he could find and become a big damn goblin hero. He knew that his size gave him an advantage in this most noble of quest, and he started with that. First came the standard goblin-sized weapons. But they were too small! Then came the weapons made for the long legs. But they just didn't feel right for him.
Then...Then came the custom horsechopper he had commissioned by the tribe's weapon maker. That, that swung just right in his hands. With his weapon in hand, he rushed off without even gathering a raiding party to revel in his weapons first kill. Hopefully a mangy little dog. Or even a horse!
He never knew what would happen to his village while he was gone...
That gnome oracle seems like a fun addition! Heh. But other great characters appearing here too. Eager to play with y'all :)
Forgot that I switched from using a horsechopper to using a spiked chain. Because, you know, reasons.
Recruitment is Now Officially Closed.
I believe that the possible players for the (up to) three remaining spots are:
- Palomia Kasic, Human Summoner
- Biggun Walker, Goblin Fighter
- Szinorvir, Drow Psychic
- Solie, Gnome Oracle
Once more, thanks to those who have spent the time building and pitching a character.
I will have a think about these applications over the next few hours and will Probably make / post my decision this evening.
Made the top cut! Woohoo!
Good luck to all!
Okay folks, let's get this out of the way...
Joining Ravboom, Sparky and Kaloora Plimp are:
- Biggun Walker, Goblin Fighter
- Solie, Gnome Oracle
and
- Palomia Kasic, Human Summoner
Szinorvir - I am really sorry that you didn't quite make the table... He would have been a fun character at either of the tables - so, if you don't mind, could I keep you in reserve in the event of player drop out at either table?
Okay, my crazy goblins and assorted miscreants... Let's do this!!!
I will set up the discussion thread imminently so that you can start tying backgrounds together and working out just how you folks ended up together...
Oops, derped on the date! lol. Oh well!
Sorry about that... Given we had been through one recruitment already, there was little point dragging this 'sub-recruitment' out for ages.
Good luck finding another game though!!!
Szinorvir - I am really sorry that you didn't quite make the table... He would have been a fun character at either of the tables - so, if you don't mind, could I keep you in reserve in the event of player drop out at either table?
Sad Panda Face!
Lol, seriously though, yeah, I'm fine with being a reserve player. Looking forward to reading both tables, should be interesting.
Sweet! Will have the alias made when I get on my laptop. Looking forward to going into space with all of you!
Keep me in mind too.
Missed the short window.
