oh, did Lucendar ever say how to get starting gold? use the dice roller thing on here or just do average for the class or just don't be a dick about it? I've kinda been cruising on average for gunslinger and wanna just clarify to get the final touches right.
he said average
I am a fan of it as well. Besides taking only combat feats makes one seem a tad one sided. That said I have yet to nail down a starting feat for Love.
Alertness or Skill focus Perception would be a good start. but then there is Steel Soul....or Deepsight....or...<sigh>
ok, since this is my first point buy build, is this a good 15 build? Also did I do it right. Stats before racial bonus are 16, 14, 12, 10, 10, 8.
Love's focus is more on not getting hurt. But there is an elven ranger w/ a first level dip in Druid idea that could make good use of it.

Comes out to 15 so it's good.
in combat Cedrics more of a mid range fighter using bombs that excel at undead and construct fighting. but at lvl five im planing on him using a musket with bomb bullets. out of combat i have him as a trapfinder and disabler. depending on the party his potential role may change.
Right now i don't have a rank in Craft (alchemy), but I plan on putting one or two in next level. I dunno what other skill(s) will suffer for it though...
No problem, apparently I don't know much about them either.
Okay, while I understand you're a new player, Lori, let's not bombard the recruitment thread with gunslinger talk. This discussion should be had if and when the character is selected. Let's allow other players to post their character concepts. Thank you.
i find there fun to play especially with the daring acts rule in play. i currently play a mysterious stranger in another pbp and can't wait until he starts lvling to do some crazy stuff.

Ok, rather then Forgotten Past, as I had previously mentioned, I am going with Nemesis instead. For mechanical benefit, it'll pretty much be the same as fast learner right now.
The idea would be that her Nemesis is the one who burned her alive.
I used the extra skill point from Nemesis to put a rank in linguistics, and decided to make linguistics a class skill by picking up Self Taught Scholar with the bonus trait from taking the flaw, her linguistics language is ancient osiriani. EDIT: Clerics already get linguistics, I'm still looking for a bonus trait.
Gotcha, sorry about all my questions. I'll just go and lurk a bit.
Just a quick question do you want a backstory for our characters? I'm just wondering cause I've been thinking of a good one for Cedric but if it doesn't matter i don't want to waste time writing it.

Appearance: Krig's appearance is of little concern to him. If he is not covered in a layer of dirt and grime, something is clearly wrong. He wears light agile clothes which he keeps in good repair. His long brown unkempt hair is always a tangled mess. He keeps his beard well trimmed though -- mainly to prevent it from becoming an occupational hazard.
Motivation: Krig has been a dwarven guide in various subterranean caves and dungeons for most of his life. Krig feels most at home when he is deep underground and eagerly pursues work as a guide in the under-realms. He greatly enjoys exploring and learning new things. His passions have made him stray far from the boredom of the dwarven mountain realms.
Work has been slow as of late for Krig. When he caught news about the lottery and the opportunity to explore areas which have been unexplored for so long, he couldn't resist. He made haste and travelled to Wati to partake in the lottery and a chance to further pursue his passion of exploration.
Personality: Krig is a fairly dull dwarf with little personality. When not underground, Krig seems almost depressed and quite often drinks excessively to combat this.
He is a completely different person underground though. He is quick to take charge as he feels he is responsible for everyone's lives with him. He does not appreciate diplomatic speech and prefers bluntness.
This is Gerald's gnomish arcanist. I haven't bought gear yet, and I haven't done the backstory yet. I'll finish those tomorrow, but I wanted to throw the build up and get a post in with the alias. I'll also answer the posed questions in a spoiler under the profile.
Alzaar is going to be a skill monkey, a trap smith, and a trip/disarm combatant. I'll end up with every knowledge skill and bardic knowledge, and his whip will give him reach to stay out of danger while doing his combat maneuvers. Hopefully. I hope to make it in this game, it sounds like it's going to be a blast of an AP!
For those of you going gunslinger, I recommend crafting a few silver bullets (2.5 gold a piece crafted) before the game starts, I don't have the book, but the mummy's mask suggests that there will be undead.
For anybody, silvering your weapons might be a good idea if you have the money to do so.
Updated list of applicants to keep things clear for myself:
Khepri Chitin - Gnome druid (vermin heart)
Ernst Lowfield - Dwarf rogue trapsmith
Ib Brewleaf - Halfling fighter
Aleon Hunter - Elf gunslinger (guntank)
Izora Massri - Human inquisitor (dervish dancer)
Jaran Gates - Human archaeologist bard
Kakra - Human separatist cleric
Krig Grimheart - Dwarf Ranger (Dungeon Rover)
Vidic Votev - Human Ranger (Infiltrator)
Cedric Freeson - Half-Elf Alchemist (Crypt Breaker)
Alzaar Na'Keth - Human bard (archaeologist)
Dashuun - Half-orc fighter (lore warden)
Miss Lori - Human gunslinger
Anka Sarraf - Human Magus (Hexcrafter)
Rhade Poshment - Gnomish Arcanist (Pyromaniac)
Varzel Vinnick - Elf evocation wizard (admixture)
Khepri - Yes, you can reflavor the Andoran trait
Cedric - You've given me the minimum; if you want to give me a back story, go for it
If I missed any questions, let me know or PM them to me.
My crunch is pretty much complete. Will further my work on Izora's background if I am accepted to the game.
Question: Will characters from Osirion begin the game with Osriani? Will Common for the purposes of this game simply be Osiriani?
It is important to me that Izora be able to speak Osiriani (wouldn't make much sense for someone who grew up in the capital of Osirion not to), so I will need to make some changes to her character depending on the answer.
Throwing in my hat. Only have the crunch on profile while I write up the backstory. Thornir Lorebearer - Human Lore Warden Fighter. Premise of his story is that he has always been a big reader, fascinated with texts of ancient Osiriani and the dangerous depths that lie within. He joined the military in his younger years and carried his experience into a brief period of mercenary work. When the city of Wati decided to open the tombs to the public, Thornir joined the frenzy to enter the merchant scene and buy up the treasures acquired within to resell for higher value. Unfortunately, his lack of experience led to a failing business. With the threat of becoming penniless and moving to Bargetown, Thornir has decided to enter the raffle as an applicant and hopefully snatch of some goods for himself to jump-start his ailing business.
Added a more detailed background and are you fine with the way i did the stats or would you prefer them to be in the profile?
I'd like to present Greyston Clay - Human Melee Alchemist, I've taken Vivisectionist. He has disable device, knowledges, heal and can brew potions. Most of his crunch is done i'll be adding back story to my profile later today.
I would like to apply. Working a bit on name and crunch. Applying as an Human Sorcerer of the imperious bloodline. Blood of Pharaos Trait.

Changed Name to Harkheb. Being raised by a grandfather living in the past, being told from young age on that he has the blood of godkings in his blood he always felt alienated. The other kids always mocked him and now finally there is a chance to prove his heritage and would do all to prove his ancestry.

Do any common undead have DR/silver? I thought that was a lycanthrope trait.
GM quick question will be giving us credit for PFS for doing this? Just a though.
Doubtful, as I think that would require every character playing in the campaign to be a PFS character and PFS legal. Not sure on most of the PFS rules though..hard enough focusing on the regular ones :)
Izora: Characters originally from Osirion will receive Osiriani for free
Ib: I wouldn't know how to give it even if I could
Cedric: Stats are fine the way you have them
DMRaven: The main undead that you need silver for are vampires and nightshades

"Alternatively, if you are participating in a Pathfinder
Adventure Path with an ongoing group undertaking the
entire, six-book campaign, you may receive credit for
playing the sanctioned portions of the adventure as if you
had played a pregenerated character. In this case, GMs
running the Adventure Path are not bound to the rules
of the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign (such
as 20 point buy, unavailability of hero points, etc...) when
running the campaign or the sanctioned portion of the
adventure.
A player who uses a pregenerated character must apply
the Chronicle sheet to a 1st-level character or hold the
Chronicle sheet until his character reaches the level of
the pregenerated character."
Here is the answer from the latest PFS guide! It is just a matter if the GM wants to give us the Chronicle sheet etc
Still polishing. Are Pathfinder faction traits allowable? Namely the Osirion faction trait Tomb Raider?
Khepri: That trait is fine
Karkheb: Looks good, thanks
I have plenty of good applications so I will close Recruitment on this thread on Monday March 31st at 8:00 pm EST. I am still debating between taking a 4 or 5 person party, since the AP is built for four adventurers.
And the slow, agonizing process of waiting begins....
And the slow, agonizing process of waiting begins....
Just pull up a chair and relax. Maybe that nice Halfling can bring us some nice coffee.
{psst. Your perception skill looks to be 1 off. 3(class)+0wisdom+1rank is +4 but you list +5 where is that +1 I missed?}
Lucendar Changed campaign trait for Love. Inquisitive Archaeologist fit better. Still quite skilled at appraise though.

Ahh you're right. Fixed. Flip flopped int and wis to maintain good perception, and bardic knowledge pretty much offsets low int for knowledge. Will have to play around a little more, might drop str down to get a higher int so I can get combat expertise
With weapon finesse and a whip you don't have to. Dex applies instead of str. With combat expertise and imp trip and disarm, and the whip master and serpent lash chains, he should be pretty effective. I may end up with a couple of fighter levels though, to help with feats.
So Monday we'll know who's in and who's out, it seems so far away. I hope all my questions don't hurt my chance. This AP looks like a lot of fun. I also have Miss Lori complete if you wanna take a look at her, Lucendar.
Where, Lori? I did not see it in your profile.
oh, sorry, I haven't put it online yet. I'll get right too it.
Updated, I hope I did everything right. If you need me to fix anything, let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I can.
Alzaar has been complete for a while. The only I haven't done is his spells, which I plan on doing tonight. If there is anything I need to change, please let me know.
To make things easier for me, those characters who have profiles, please put your answers to my questions and/or background in your profile, so it's all neat in one place. Thank you. :)
Done.
Phsyical description added to background which is at the bottom of my profile.
