I plan to add the Taskmaster/Underworld aspect of Magrim and his remembered monk training to his background, but I need to exercise my 3 and 5 year olds outside. Gotta go. Cheers!
| Varl Togaard |
Feats have been adjusted. I have a total of six skill points, and 2 went into perception and 1 went into each of my other skills: Climb, history, engineering, dungeoneering. Technically my skill bonus in History should be a +2, but as a dwarf I have a +2 if the history applies to Dwarven Culture via my Lorekeeper racial trait. I have also added the self-heal ability to my character sheet. I have included a short background, but I plan to work up a more detailed one if I am selected.
On the topic of posting, I am frequently on the boards and I consistently post on each of my other pbp's. Two posts a day is possible, with more depending on my work. That said, I do travel occasionally and it could affect my posting. I honestly don't think it would, but I felt I should give you a heads up.
Born among the Dwarven Togaard clan of Kraggodan, high in the southern Mindspin Mountains, Varl came from a family of moderate means. His father Tamir was a priest of Abadar and the keeper of the clan’s histories. While all of Varl's brothers went to work in the mines, searching deeper and deeper in the earth for Mithril and gems, Varl felt his calling pulling him in another direction. As a boy, Varl would sit enraptured as his father would recount the tales of his people’s history. As Varl grew from a boy into a man, he tried taking up the calling of a Lorekeeper, but he found his attention wavering. It was then that he made a decision. Rather than being a keeper of his people’s history, he would be a seeker of it instead.
For the last three years, Varl has begun to follow rumors of a hidden stronghold of dwarven knowledge, lying within the whispered ruins of Rappan Athuk. Varl knows that a former expedition lead by his grandfather disappeared somewhere in the region and despite the dangers; he’s unable to let the idea of some untouched artifact from his people’s go undiscovered, and if he was able to find the remains of his grandfathers lost expedition, then all the better.

I'm opening the recruitment for an arcane caster only. See the first page for build requirements. There is a change though: the group composition is primarily good, so keep that in mind. I'm not looking for party conflict. Second, because of the party make up, I'm not going to have drow or goblin, we have 4 dwarfs in the party. This will be a short recruitment. Thanks.
| Jaevin Darjudin |
Not sure if you consider a Bard to be a good enough arcane caster for your game, but here is my character.
I originally made this character for a RotRL campaign but didn't get picked.
Unfortunately I have to pick my brother up shortly and he is 5ish hours away so I wont be able to update this character until tomorrow morning at 9ish (GMT-8) so I understand if you just want to skip over me. I'll level him up and get a bit more gear tomorrow. As well as fix up the backstory to fit in better with the setting.
Weekday I can post regularly from 9-5, and at least once at night. Weekends are a bit tighter and I can for sure post once in the morning and in the evening as well, midday is very iffy though. Saturday is a bit freer than Sunday though.

I'm reopening recruitment for one player. This game is already 15 months old, and the other game that I DM is 2 years old. Barring some sort of emergency I'm not going anywhere; so, you can expect consistent posting. If you think you can't make a long term commitment, or post consistently, please don't apply. This is a fun laid-back game.
The party consists of:
rogue, human, (Scout two weapon fighting)
pally, human (Abadar)
sorcerer, human (Aberrent-Blooded)
cleric, dwarf (Torag)
fighter, dwarf
Preference will be given to balanced characters. You will begin at 7th level and wealth. Look under the first post in this recruitment thread for the build requirements and limitations. One thing that I ask is that you show how you get to your ability and skills totals. I don't want to have to deconstruct those numbers.
Don't bother with much more than a sentence, or two, of backstory. You will be meeting up with the party at a town that I created for the campaign. (I've added a lot of original content to the game.) You will be getting retained as a cartographer by one of the main NPC's. It's enough that you want to risk your life in the famed Rappan Athuk Dungeon.

Every character gets a few DM boons:
Bonus Gear
A handy haversack
Light, secondary armor, Masterwork so you are not unprotected at night.
(3 )CLW potions each (1d8+3)
(2) CMW potion (2d8+6)

Blank Map book (roll d2, 1 =waterproof, 2=non-waterproof)
Scrivener’s kit
silk 50 ft.(1)
Grapple hook or grapple arrow/bolt (1)
bandolier (1)
Candles (5)
Skill boon:
2/2 Skill points* bonuses to be used in one of the following pairs of skills (this does not make it a class skill):
A. profession –cartographer/Know – geography; or
B. profession – guide/Know-nature.
*This means you get 2 skill pts in cartography and 2 skill pts in geography: or 2 skill pts in guide and 2 skill pts in nature.
The skill bonus is a mechanism to have the party have common interest/employer and for roleplay. Plus, those are useful skill in this campaign which players may otherwise not take.

The forums beat me last time, but this time - a year later - I might have my second chance! It's good to see players and GM able to have a long game together on the forums. I'm in two long-running ones right now, and I would happily throw my hat in the ring (again) for your adventure.
I will give the original post a gaze and edit my entry here with appropriate information.

Posting time expired - sorry for the double post:
Likely it is I would want to submit a half-elf monk to delve the depths of the dungeon!
An aspiring student seeking to prove his worth to his instructor, no task was too arduous, no challenge too great. Yet the request of the famed abyss in the North gave him pause. The prestige tempted him overmuch though ... pride was a downfall of his, even though he struggled to contain it as taught. And so it was with the townsfolk's blessing and the lure of completion of his training and path to glory, he set out to discover the mysteries of the place - and ... visit ... with its denizens.
Mechanically, I'm looking at either a flowing monk or master of many styles. The idea is to get a lighter character in there that isn't all about damage (as it seems you have that covered) and focuses more on utility. My understanding is range is actually a bit of an impairment in the underground here, so other than a magus - which I felt would fit best but is expressly forbidden on the front post! - a monk seems to work best.
If the basic concept seems workable, I could whip up the crunch for you.
| baldwin the merciful |
@Stratos
Range combatants are at a potential disadvantage in RA. The twists and turns of the tunnels and caverns could prevent LOS. There are open spaces, but the player may not enjoy that impairment. That being stated the group just came out an encounter where I peppered them with arrows.
As far as a monk is concerned that's fine.
We did loss an oracle (the player that would be replaced) and a bard (previously). A secondary caster like a bard or a oracle has it's support advantages for the party.
| Felicitas Sweetfingers |
And no Felicitas is a brand new character, named after my soon to be born daughter. And I picked the best familiar a baby could want ;-)
Felicitas is not about Damage or controlling the battlefield. She is about improving others and filling niches. She has many scrolls and wands to support, and a whip for the aid another trick.
