Also excited!! Plus I think Uro is finally ready to go. Let me know if i did anything else wrong or if his background makes no sense (a possibility).
Totally not judging or nit-picking Url's character sheet, but I am curious: What do the plus signs and asterisks listed before some of his skills mean?
And I like Uro's background!
Pluses indicate bonus skills and asterisks are class skills.
Also, thanks!! I accidentally exited my window while I was writing it and lost a bunch, so I kinda rushed rewriting it, haha. Hopefully I didn't forget anything that I wanted to include.

Shorter, simpler character backgrounds are better, anyway. It gives the GM more room to work with, allows the character to be more adaptable to the campaign early on, and makes it more likely that the other players will keep the background in mind. Your's is a good length.

Tombrose: The following stand out at first glance (please let me know if I'm missing a feat, trait, or something else that covers the existing numbers):
Intuition save is +0 (level) +0 (class) +0 (Wis) = +0 total.
CMD = 10 +0 (BAB) -1 (size) -1 (Str) +3 (Dex) = 11 total.
1st level spells Known = 0 +1 (bloodline) +1 (Expanded Arcana) = 2 total.
On CMD, Canny Defense adds to CMD (+4 Intuition bonus)
the rest has been corrected

I'll re-check the docs when I get home. If I remember correctly, dodge bonuses to AC are specifically noted as adding to CMD, but not intuition, luck, sacred/profane, etc. Just got my computer repaired, so I can actually look things up now!
For the sorcerer, I don't remember off the top of my head, but is there a favored class option for +1 level of spells known? That might account for the additional 1st level spell? Again, just spitballing here until I can check.
And I like Uro's background!
Me, too! Looks really good -- there's enough hooks there to give us both a lot of room to work with.
In that light, "specialized in the training and capture of animals" seems like a good excuse for you to get a dispensation to treat Handle Animal as a secondary skill (Chapter 4). One rank in that as a class skill outs your bonus at +3 instead of -1, making the claim a lot more credible. And because everyone gets 1 free rank/level in a secondary skill, it doesn't cost you anything.

Cool! I actually hadn't seen the rule for the secondary skill. I was going to use my favored class bonus to put a rank in it. Now I can use that for something else.
Edit: Okay, stuck my bonus skill point from favored class into bluff.

The Canny Defense feat specifies AC and CMD, which is why I added it.
Oh, yeah, that's where the extra spell known came from; it's right there on p2 of the sorcerer class. Pretty sure, let me check my skill pt allocation.
1. (Checking) It sure does -- a holdover from before, but there it is in black & white pixels.
2. Yep! Which reminds me, what is everyone else using their favored class bonus (if any) for?
Jym will be using it for the extra hit point per level for the foreseeable future.
Probably wise!

Considering Uro's 13 AC, I was thinking of doing the same..
Are we just waiting on TOZ?
Why is your ass always causing problems?
Are you? I should get off my ass today and fix that.
No need to get up. I made my entire character on my ass.
Take some of Jam's. His ass creates solutions!

Both. He's paying it forward.
Good job, Jam's ass!
Do you guys want to start without TOZ? We'd have three PCs at the start instead of 4, but it shouldn't matter too much for the 1st installment.
So with the serenity feat, I'm thinking I'd like to work toward the prestige paladin class. TOZ, were you still considering that?
Would you prefer I not? Rose is probably more Chaotic anyway.
Incarnate just doesn't mashup with Paladin like Oracle does.
Incarnadin?
Oh no, doesn't matter to me at all! Just didn't want to step on your toes.
Kirth: Is a chain shirt reasonable for starting equipment?
Sure -- or just call it "ring mail," which has the same stats but sounds cheaper.

Yes. Screw that guy. He's pretty much the worst.
Incarnadin?
Barbaladin? Not sure which is worse..
Random rules question: I just noticed that in the Prestige Paladin, you get Smite Evil before you get Lay on Hands. Does that mean that you can't use your Smite Evil until level two unless you already have Channel Energy from a previous class?
Ooh... that doesn't make an awful lot of sense, does it. Lemme look at it. Due to no one ever playing one before, a lot of the PrPal issues haven't been brought up yet, much less ironed out.

Hey, that's part of the fun!!
Shaping up nicely!
Intuition is Wis-based (+0 class, -1 Wis = -1 total)
Will is Cha-based (+2 class, +2 Cha = +4 total)
AC 15, touch 11, flat-footed 14 (+1 Dex, +4 armor)
Melee scythe +3 (2d4+4/x4)
CMB +3 (trip +5); CMD 14
You can decide if you want the standard shield of faith spell (which can be cast on others) or a personal (only) shield of faith that you cast in the morning and stays "on" for the rest of the day (AC 17, touch 13, flat-footed 16).
I swapped Uro's wisdom and dex in anticipation of becoming a Paladin (which I think is more fitting of his character anyhow). Do you think you could do a quick check on my math? Just want to make sure I didn't forget anything. I'm also going to swap out weapon focus, probably with toughness.
Uro -- Always happy to.
AC 15, touch 11, flat-footed 15 (-1 Dex, +2 insight, +4 armor)
Raging: 17, touch 13, flat-footed 17
BAB +1; CMB +5; CMD 16
Raging: CMB +6 (+1 BAB +5 Str +0 Dex); CMD 19 (10 + CMB + 3 canny defense, per discussion above)
Saves are good.
I think the always on option works better for her, so I'll go with that.
I like it because it's one less situational thing to track. ;)
^^So, I put some general info into this line. Anything that you would like to see up there to make for easier reference?

Thanks!
I love the general info line!
If everyone would track their max/current hp that way, it would be a huge help.
Likewise, keeping your Perception bonus there would be a plus, for the purpose of static checks.
Hmm, time to make up her full name before it locks...

That's it? HP and Perception? My OCD inclination is to jam EVERYTHING in there, which defeats its usefulness. But the line is for you, so let us know if you want anything else in there.
Jammed a few things, looks like it comes from combining three lines of profile :)
Whoa, I just saw the Giants Stance feat. What would that increase my 2d8 great axe damage to?
Looks like it's 3d8. Here is my source for that.
Are we waiting on anyone to start?
Looks like it's 3d8. Here is my source for that.
Oooo.. That's much more fun than +1 to hit! Thanks!!!!
