My earlier idea had been to go Dwarf Druid.. now i'm thinking Aerenwe, but you've said fighter domain...Would it work if I made a combat type dwarf druid for Aerenwe or should I switch to human or just to fighter?
Thanks
Make Arwenwe into a druidic domain. Even if it's full of dwarves.

Starting up recruitment for another player or players. Birthright is an unusual campaign in where you play a noble playing the Game of Thrones (hehe, Birthright came before A Game of Thrones).
Looking for players who want to play a hero king. You can play a king in Roesone, or Aerenwe, Diemed, or Medoere. Prospective players should check Birthright.net. Although I'm playing my own mix of pathfinder and birthright rules. You may play an Anuirean, a Vos, a Khinasi, a Rjurik, a Brecht, an elf, a dwarf, and a halfling. No gnomes.
Prospective players should know one thing:
We are using the Pathfinder 1e ruleset. Also this campaign handles adult themes. (Politics is an adult theme, and we do politics in this campaign).
Seems interesting. What are the character creation specifics? Also, I don’t know a whole lot about Birthright so I may make a few mistakes in character creation.
25 point buy, 2 traits (may come from ultimate campaign), 2nd level. You might want to read the Wiki.
Birthright Wiki
Thanks for the creation info. I’ve looked through the wiki a bit since I saw the post, and I might have a character coming together.
I’ll have access to my computer and Hero Lab tomorrow, so I should have a character, or at least the stats and a basic concept, up then.
Dotting for interest.
Birthright is one of the old campaign settings that piqued my interest back in the day, but I never actually played in.
Thinking of a Vos Cavalier (Emissary archetype) will delve more into the wiki and the game itself and see what I conjure up for consideration :)
Eltonj, I missed this on Thursday. Are you still looking for players?
Yes. I am.
How does Point Buy interact with bloodline strength?
It doesn't. Point buy for stats and bloodline strength are two different mechanics.
Assuming you are, an half-elf arcanist is interested in taking the crown in Aerenwe.
I am assuming straight PF1 rules here, with bloodlines stapled on...
Well, okay, King Niall Riordan Aeric Swordwraith. You will have access to 1d3 Realm Spells. Your rival for sources happens to be one of the original players.

Not sure how to generate bloodline abilities, I'd love if somebody could fill me in.
The Avaldemours were once a minor family in Diemed, without much by way of prestige or power. However, they did contribute substantial amounts of troops to the armies of Diemed. Galwain, their third son of five, sought to increase the power and prestige of Diemed, and if possible, seize the throne of Diemed. Galwain was a mesmerist of somewhat substantial talents, and using his magical abilities and almost supernatural gift of charm, managed to become married to the sole daughter of the Baron of Diemed. The man was old and unwell, and it took a single payment for the old baron's apothecary to prescribe a rather vigorous session of bloodletting to ensure that the old man shuffled off his mortal coil. With the baron dead, inheritance and the de facto rulership of the Barony fell to him.
Galwain is not the best of men. Though he does care deeply for those he is close to, he sees most others as means to an end for securing his family's claim to the throne and increasing his family's prestige.
Can you change his class? Psionics (and their ilk) isn't a feature for Birthright Campaigns.
Sure. Wasn't aware of that restriction, my bad. I'll have to adjust a bit so the general background might be different. Also, how are bloodline abilities figured out?

Go here, if you got a bloodline score of 32, you get three blood abilities: one minor, one major, and one great.
Sorry chief I'm not going to have as much time to pitch as planned - some ongoing campaigns have kicked up a notch/been reskinned so my card is fuller than expected.
Will lurk with interest :)

Feel free to lurk! It's so far interesting.
This looks interesting, I'll have to read over the wiki and see if it's for me.

Neat.
How would you feel about a vigilante?
How would you feel about a vigilante?
Vigilantes can control law holdings while they are in their presentable identity. While being a vigilante he goes against his own laws. It would be Confusion, while it can also lead to good roleplaying.
That was a bit of my thinking. I might not exactly go for the traditional “superhero” role expected from the vigilante, but I’m glad that the vigilante’s allowed.
Alright, here's the updated Galwain Avaldemour. I'll need to change the background slightly. My current idea is that his social identity is a typical noble, but his vigilante identity is restoring the Anuirean Empire by whatever means necessary.

** spoiler omitted **
It's complicated, but it should work for great roleplay. Your character is approved for play.
Alright. Having lost another player, I'm opening up recruitment for my "ruins of empire" campaign. Here's your chance to play a noble and rule a domain.
The following domains are for the taking:
Mieres, Ilien, Roesone, and Medoere. Here's your chance to step up to the ring and play a king. I'm looking for possibly two more players.
I may be interested! Rolling already. What active players do we still have at the moment?
4d6-1
4d6-3
4d6-3
4d6-1
4d6-3
4d6-1I may be interested! Rolling already. What active players do we still have at the moment?
Just Pad300 and possibly Simeon.
Lol. That would be a kind of boring character. Hmmm... We'll see.
I'll let you reroll.
Anyone else?
How many are you looking to add?
Jic:
Just two more. ;)
* 2 = 26
So if I'm reading this right, a bloodline score of 26 would just give me 1 minor and 1 major ability.
Right.
You have 1 minor and 1 major blood ability.
Peeking at the gameplay thread and continuing to look at the wiki, this looks rather complicated. There's a lot of info to get through. I'm not sure I have the time to learn a new system, but am still trying to decide if I want to commit.
Originally I was thinking a wizard, but with my stats, I'm leaning more towards some sort of divine character - probably a melee priest to have access to more spells instead of a paladin or inquisitor (although 6 skill points would be useful.) As such, it seems that Roesone or Medoere would be the best fit for a domain. Do we just replace the leader as listed in the wiki?

Pad300 still hasn't answered your question, and yes. You're character will be considered to have finished his coronation and the former ruler has stepped down.
It is a little complicated, but fun once you get going.
Wow, I think my head is going to explode trying to take this all in. I think I'm going to play a cleric possibly with a dip in Paladin (which would lead me to Haelyn which would then be a better fit in Roesone I think.) However, that domain seems much larger than Medoere. Will that make it more difficult to run?
How do the RP of a domain affect gameplay? Roesone has 36 while Medoere only has 13. I think my bloodline score of 26 would limit what I could do with Roesone but I also don't necessarily want to be stuck in a smaller domain with less to do.
There are a lot of factors that affect your ability to rule, RP is just one of them. Regency Points (RP) is basically how much you collect for use in Domain turns. The size of the kingdom does not mean much, it's how well you administrate.
The ability to rule well is an abstraction reflected through RP. It's there to help you make decisions. The abstraction is only needed to help you roleplay. Roesone has a lot of RP going for it, but your bloodline score ultimately does not matter in how you play; except for blood abilities.
If you choose Roesone, then you will be able to marry the Lady Barad. It's size does not matter unless you choose to make it matter. Plus, I can use the Spiderfell and Ghoere in future turns.
Are we supposed to roll for our bloodline derivation and strength or pick the derivation we want or use the one that the current leader of the domain we will be using has assuming we are a relative?
My current character seems to be more oriented towards Anduiras while the current family line in Roesone is Brenna.

I'll let you choose, as a matter of good faith and letting you play the character you want to play.
I thought I was about done with my character and then I noticed the wiki said that a Paladin of Haelyn can only multiclass with Fighter or Noble. On top of that, for some reason I was thinking I didn't need to worry about alignment but the same page corrected me on that too. I don't think a LG leader would work very well in Roesone as it is a N domain and I think would rebel against a leader that implemented too many laws.
I liked the idea of being able to Detect Evil at will, which combined with making Warcraft a class skill and being able to use heavy armor, lead me to Paladin to begin with. I don't think I want to dip 2 levels in Inquisitor to detect alignment plus I don't think an Inquisitor would fit well in Roesone either. I'll probably just look at creating an item at some point to handle detect evil.
What are your thoughts of the Scion or Noble classes on the wiki?
