The life of a hero often has humble beginnings. You find yourself in Heron Falls a backwater town that had seen better days. Baron Saben Lumont wasn't half the ruler his father was still not a cruel or petty lord just incompetent. Whether you are a native with dreams or a traveler come for your own reasons you have heard that Baron Lumont has sent out a call for heroes. Be it a life long dream or convenient way to make a few coin you have decided to answer the call.

The background:
Homebrew world. The kingdom of Thraydria is old and stable it's golden days in it's past it holds it head high knowing it is stagnating. Heron Falls sits at the base of the majestic waterfall it takes as it's namesake. In the northern border reaches of Thraydria it stands as a bastion of civilization in a wild neglected region of the kingdom. The local nobility have grown lax and largely complacent. The Mountains of Horthus loom over the town harboring unknown dangers

Crunch:
20pt. buy pathfinder base classes. 1st lvl 2 background traits + 1 more if you take a drawback. Core races. No gunslingers(think classic fantasy feel), archetypes require final approval but if you want to use one please let me know with your submission. Use pathfinder gods for convenience of play. Include background for pc.

Recruiting:
I would like to take 6 pc's new players welcome. Post min 1/ day. Rp heavy rules light ( I would rather let you attempt something creative than worry about mechanics. That being said I do try to be consistent in what you can expect on rulings....(ie. Bob wont be able to attempt to hop a table in the middle of his charge against the bandits on one occasion then when Linn tries the same style move over a boulder during the goblin ambush it's a no go).

The Plan :
I would like to manage expectations here. This will be slightly sandboxy with some hooks here and there would like for things to develop organically. Players really want to hunt treasure in some dungeon then those options will be there the party decides the life on the road is there calling then away we go.
I will commit to getting the group to 5th lvl if everyone is still into the pbp than lets travel on if not I hope everyone had a fun ride. I don't want players laying out 20 lvls of build and then being bummed later if the pbp meets that dark black fate of dying. I will keep an one on recruitment and announce when it closes. I will be looking toward creating a balanced group so if two good wizard concepts are there then adding a third means you have competition so make um shine. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.


here is the link to my Falcon's Ho;;ow pbp I ran if you want to see game style.

I'd be interested in joining, but I have to warn you, I'm pretty new to Pathfinder as a whole (and to these forums, aliases are still confusing) but I can commit to a post at least every two days if not per day. Also, as an Alternate Class, is Ninja allowed or is it straight out?


I think I'm ready to jump into a game. Consider me interested.

Thorgrund here is a ranger (skirmisher) specializing in axe and shield. I still need to tweak his background, but the crunch is pretty much done. I need another trait. I'll check some out soon.

Basically, he's a front-line warrior. I envision him with the classic "grizzled dwarf" schtick, but with a awkwardness with the ladies (any race). He also tends to sing old dwarvish songs loudly in combat, and not well either.


I would prefer classic fantasy style characters. If you want to submit a ninja go ahead though just know if the submissions are heavy you may get passed up for a more traditional choice, but sell me on your character through back story and it may not matter.


So I am very interested in this. My current idea for a character would be a Warebat-kin (bloodmarked) named Cruentus Angealous. His story is a complicated one.

When he was young he was born on a vast estate of a Lord Ackles. Born into the slave class of cheliax (although I can alter this to anywhere that would be convenient). His family was under this mans vampiric spell. His family being the subjects of sadistic experiments of the fiend. They were exposed to lycanthropy to become more akin to the creatures his lord preferred.

When the towns folk finally became aware of the immortal nature of his lord they came knocking at his door step with flames and pitchforks. Mistaking the mutated and twisted servants as spawn of Ackles, they proceeded to slay them viciously before the boys eyes, though they never did find his Master.

Happening upon the boy one of the locals named Gravous Lector took the unremarkable child in, thinking it a miracle that this innocent has been spared the ravages of this cursed place.

Then puberty hit... and the boy was at school when another boy had heard of Cruentus's beginnings and began bullying the thin, pale, large eared, bug eyed boy, and had went too far. He and his friends beat Cruentus within an inch of his life and then all of a sudden his latent genes kicked in.

Growing a maw of razor sharp teeth, his jaw elongating, his nose flattening, appendages becoming longer and more lithe, and his eyes turned milk white. Cruentus lashed out at the boy grabbing him like he had seen his old master do to so many, wrenching his head to the side and sinking his awful teeth into the vein of that ignorant boy.
Cruentus had his first taste of blood that day. A taste that would haunt him, not just because he had killed a human being, but because he had enjoyed it. After he had realized the horror of what he had done Cruentus ran. He ran into the woods to a place he often went when he felt out of sorts.

Scared, tired, and alone Cruentus didn't know what to do and finally decided to go home. When he returned though he was not greeted by the loving arms of his adopted father, but rather the burning flames of what used to be his home, accompanied by the screams of his adopted family.

Fortunately for the townsfolk Gravous was a kind a loving father and had instilled in the boy a solid moral base. Though embittered, Cruentus was intelligent and understood why the townsfolk reacted the way they did. He blamed only two people for his family's death, himself and Ackles. With his guilt, new found blood thirst, and need for revenge, he made a vow. He would seek out his old Master and make him pay for this curse and his family's death.

Sorry for the wall of text but I wanted to get a good back story in along with some characters you could possibly use. That all being said I mostly just want to play this race. I am willing to work around the party as to what class. I will start building the actual crunch of the character today. I just wanted to get the concept to you first.


I'll probably go Wizard, but I don't have acsess to either a computer or the books for half a day, so it will take me a while to submit the character.


Zomblisham sorry but I specifically said core races sorry. Saithor thats fine I will leave recruitment up through the weekend at the least it will close Sunday night. Thorgrund max starting gold is fine but you have overspent and I believe you have 22 pts. spent.


Ahaha so funny story. Had multiple browsers open and posted in the wrong thread. My bad lol.


It's ok no worries.


Would you allow the Mystic Theurge prestige class from the core rulebook? I'd like to use a character I made a while back, an Empyreal Sorcerer/Cleric Mystic Theurge. This requires the Wildblooded archetype for sorcerer, but the only mechanical effect of the archetype is to open up more bloodlines.

Caveats in spoiler to save space:

The character is built on the basis that racial spell-like abilities and ones granted by domains(or in this case an inquisition) count towards the spellcasting requirements for Mystic Theurge.

The basic character up to level 4:
Cleric 1: Fate Inquisition/Magic Domain(Arcane)
Sorcerer(Wildblooded) 1(2): Epyreal Bloodline
Sorcerer(Wildblooded) 2(3)
Mystic Theurge 1(4)

Meeting the requirements:

3 Knowledge Arcana/Religion ranks gained through levels

2nd Level Arcane casting gained through Half-Elf Drow Magic trait

2nd Level Divine casting gained through Fate Inquisition

I know this all may seem like a lot to digest, but everything meshes perfectly within the characters backstory. Atisael is a Half-Drow from a long line of powerful spellcasters. He believes it is his destiny to become the most powerful spellcaster of all time, and he intends to do so by mastering not only arcane spellcasting but divine as well. He draws his power from Nethys, the god of Magical knowledge, and hopes to one day ascend to exceed even his master's power. I'll start putting the rest of the character now, in hopes that I'll finally be able to play him!

GM how do you feel about anti-heros? Specifically a guy who tries to do the right thing but strongly believes that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and has a tenancy of taking things a bit too far particularly if it's to protect the majority. Game mechanic wise I'm thinking of a blaster wizard who found he liked the power a little too much. To be clear I'm not talking about a murder hobo, nor do I want to cause inter-party strife (in fact the character would be loyal to a fault). The character sheet would say LE but I'd be playing as Necessary Evil.

This isn't everyone's cup of tea so I understand if it's not what you're looking for.

Just want to take the time to point out that I purposefully posted the level 4 stat block, instead of the level 1, to show the characters future plans. Sorry I didn't make that very clear.

If we are building from 20 pts, his Cha of 6 offsets to bring the total to 20. Also, the racial bonuses and penalties are added to the final scores.

He also has the Rich Parents trait (if you allow it). Starting wealth increases to 900 gp. I will review the gear to make sure it all adds up.

Thanks for reviewing the sheet! I'll let you know when I think he's ready.


I will get the crunch done when I get home tonight, but wanted to put the general idea out to check on the archetype and general feel.

Ashar Shirazi, is born to a trading clan out of the hot desserts of the east. Having come of age he must now set aside the minimal duties his family has held him to and seek his own fortune. A long valued custom of the clan to ensure their line is hardy and never becomes to set in their ways.

Personality: A very jovial bearded man, that speaks a thousand words a minute and treats everyone as his best friend. Over dramatic and boisterous, he is still cut-throat in his cheerful way when it comes to bargaining.

Basically looking at an Arabic human bard, arcane duelist if possible. Arcane duelist trades some of the skill bonus options for combat related feats. Built to dual wield. Would like to trade rapier proficiency for Scimitar to match his background if possible. Scorpion whip could be a fun visual if allowed.

Not the standard European fantasy fare but then most shows etc have that one exotic foreigner that helps draw in strange things from outside the setting. Have the stats as current, but the game I tried him in was in Pathfinder Quadira so he was a Iffrit which requires some substantial changes.


Working on the Crunch for an Arabic Battle Cleric of Sarenrae.

Also, A bit of confusion I've been having, by Base Classes do you mean the ones from the Core, or from Core+APG, since the one in the APG are called Base Classes.


Sorry for the double post, for some reason the forums won't let me edit my posts. DM mode activated, how would you feel about having this in your campaign?

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons/magic-weapons-non-core/we apon-property---guided

Also, can anybody be the face of the group? I just want to know before I start Skills.

Liberty's Edge

I like to grow my character organically, so there is not a problem of having pregenerated 20 levels, maybe there can be a problem of my characters being under optimized.
Posting every day isn't a problem.

Some question:

- It will be possible to craft magic item?
A sandbox campaign generally is good for that.

- You allow the Advanced class Guide classes?

- You allow the dual talented alternate racial trait from the advanced race guide?

If the reply to the second question is yes, I would make a warpriest of Sarenrae or Cayden Cayillian, with the possible aim to become an evangelist later, if the campaign go in that direction.

If not, I would like a shot at making an alchemist.


OK
Thorgrund you were right on both counts. I missed the trait and the -2 to chr so that is fine.

Alistus I am sorry, but it is core races only. I am ok with the Mystic theurge prestige class; however it needs the traditional route to qualify for it.

Doomguide your idea for the stranger in a distant land is fine. you would be far from home and a bit of a rarity, but not unheard of. switching the rapier for scimitar is fine. I will need to look up the scorpion whip but my quick guess is it will be ok same with the archetype.

Saithor Yes any of the base classes are ok from core, apg, or the new acg. the only one I am saying no two is the gunslinger because personally I don't care for guns in my games unless they are super appropriate to that campaign like say a pirate theme or a steampunk fantasy campaign. your link didn't work and i didn't find a guided weapon property if that is correct.

Diego yes crafting feats are fine. yes ACG classes are ok. yes I am ok with dual talent.

Ok I think I got to everyone if I missed a question I apologize I will be keeping an eye on the thread so I should be able to get back to anyone in a reasonable time frame.


Huh. the link doesn't fully paste for some reason. Just type in guided into Paizo's search bar and it should pop up. Here's the full entry in case even that doesn't work

Guided Weapon

Source: Pathfinder 10.

Aura moderate evocation; CL 7th; Slot weapon quality; Price +1 bonus.

Description
A weapon with the guided property allows its wielder to use his instinct when striking blows with it.

Attacks from a guided weapon generally don’t strike hard, but they strike at precisely the right moment to maximize damage if in the hands of a particularly wise wielder. A character who attacks with a guided weapon modifies his attack rolls and weapon damage rolls with his Wisdom modifier, not his Strength modifier.

This modifier to damage is not adjusted for two-handed weapons or off-hand weapons—it always remains equal to the wielder’s Wisdom modifier. A guided weapon may be wielded as a normal weapon, using Strength to modify attack and damage rolls, but this goes against the weapon’s nature and imparts a –2 penalty on all attack rolls made in this manner.

Construction Requirements
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, spiritual weapon.


So I hunted down guided I would allow it to add wis bonus to hit instead of str, but damage bonus would still go off str for the +1 cost. edit: posted while I was typing heh.


FangDragon I am so sorry. This sounds interesting I can dig on the anti-hero for the greater good kind of thing. As long as he is a team player for the most part and be aware that your actions have consequences in game I will allow you to give it a shot if you make the six. I cannot guarantee other players reactions should you perform a blatantly evil act in their presence. I will allow you some rope careful you don't hang yourself with it.

Cool, will put in stats tonight.

Scorpion whip does d4 lethal damage, unlike a normal whip, but it only has a 10 ft range. Also from the Quadiran area of pathfinder. I like the idea of having something to use if we end up to front line heavy. Have run in to that in several games. Plus the mental image of a whirling dervish style fighter with a pair of daggered whips just seems damn cool.


I like it run with the whips. I have a question for you and Saithor. If Saithor goes with the Sarenra warpriest how do you two feel about having a bit of shared background in that you have been traveling together since you both crossed the Karathi Sand Sea on the same ship. If you all prefer to do your own thing that is cool, but if you are both going for that "middle eastern" feel than knowing each other makes a little more sense with how uncommon your people are this far west.


I wouldn't mind doing it if Doomguide is willing to. DM, you want us to roll of gold or just do the average amount indicated?


you may have max gold to spend as you wish.


Have almost all of the Crunch down, I will have the background up shortly as well.

No worries! I appreciate the 2nd set of eyes to make sure I didn't mess up.

Background is coming shortly.


Keith Flint:
Charming, urbane, witty, at least on the outside. Keith Flint was borne 25 years ago, the son of a noted magistrate. From an early age Keith found he had two passions in life, Law and Punishment. It wasn't until rather later that Keith discovered his talent for magic. His original plan had been to join the clergy of Abadar, like his father, but for whatever reason he was politely but firmly rebuffed. Perhaps the high priest saw some essential flaw in his character, but the reasons where never revealed although his father became increasingly distant ever after the testing. But where the clergy of Abadar where indifferent, Quiznab the Munificent was enthusiastic.

Quiznab, a onetime colleague of his father, was a semi-retired court mage and had been keeping an eye on the young Keith for years with the suspicion he was talented, and so he was. In the older Quiznab, Keith found a kindred soul, a man utterly and ruthlessly dedicated to law or at least convictions. Unfortunately Quiznab was the worst kind of tutor the young Keith Flint could have had, with many traits that Keith would later share: outwardly law abiding and respectable yet manipulative, twisting the letter of the law for his own advantage.

Quiznab was a secret worshiper of Asemodeus (although the boy never found out, even if he did have suspicions) and was rather too free with dangerous esoteric knowledge and filled the boy's head with all manner of notions. For example, the great nations of the world are built on the backs of the masses, mortared with law. Each individual element, each person, is individually worthless but together they build something greater than the sum of it's parts: society. Of course according to Quiznab, society is precarious ever beset with scroungers and the lawless who must be expunged.

Under Quiznab's diligent tutelage Keith soon found he could summon all four elements and that he liked using them. At first on animals and later on unfortunates Quiznab was questioning in his private facilities for the criminally insane.

Not so long ago Quiznab had his comeuppance when half the asylum burnt down, during one of the periodic riots, and was lynched by a mob. Realizing he would likely share the same fate, Keith decided a spell in the country would do him some good. He caught wind of the good Baron Lumont's problems and decided to help bring some law to the unwashed masses...

Description:
Keith is a tall human in his mid twenties, wearing the kind of comfortable hiking gear a well-heeled city dweller would buy. He is always immaculately groomed, clean shaven with short brown hair, grey eyes and a ready smile. He carries a small crossbow that doesn't look much but packs a punch.

In combat Keith will have a mix of blast spells mixed with some crowd control (likely via rime spell from level 3 onward). Out of combat he's got some useful knowledge skills and social skills. Keith will be very loyal to the group and the mission, however he has a ruthless streak and if given the legal opportunity to use his new found magical powers, he will do so with a zeal others may find unnerving...


I might be interested. What is there so far?


Just to be clear the character is a half-elf, which is within the core races, are we not using the advanced race guide traits for the core races?


Going to say no on the drow stuff Alistus sorry but drow are Kill on Sight in my campaigns. I wish you luck on getting to play one but I don't let pc's play them even half bloods.


Submissions are still coming in I have a few write ups coming together but submissions will be accepted at least until Sunday night unless a rash of completed submissions come flooding in.


Shared background sounds great. I haven't built anything in to his background for it, but the (dark) omen trait sounds like it would be a great start to why a warrior priestess is keeping an eye on him.

A tall slender young man, Ashar is away from his clan for the first time in his life. He is out to find adventure, profit and women that he is not related to! The people of his clan are well regarded as traders, and will not allow their children to become spoiled by their success. Each must go in to the world without aid from family to prove their worth in bringing back information, skills and wealth to aid the clan.


@ DM Mode Activated:

How does a half-orc dervish dancer bard archetype sound?


Her is Diego character proposal:

Background:
Julius is the 7th son of a miller. While fairly affluent, his father was strongly against the idea of dividing his inheritance between several boys: "Our estate should remain unified and strong in the hands of a single person, that is how our family has managed it for centuries.", so every child after the first was meant to find his way in the world with a good initial allowance and a benediction from the family, but nothing more.
Luckily for the young Julius he has a birthmark in the shape of a butterfly on the back of his left hand. That birthmark was noticed by a wandering priest of Desna that proposed his father to train the child in the tenets of his faith. his father readily agreed and at the tender age of 10 Julius left his house to wander the world with the old priest.
Julius found the wandering lifestyle and the faith in Desna agreeable with him, less agreeable the interpretation of his mentor, that was heavily in the more mystical and contemplative part of the faith.
The strapping lad was more interested in seeing and experiencing things that that contemplating the stars and studying mystical portents.
After being passed from a teacher to another he finally found his right calling with the more militant branch of the church. He became an inquisitor of the church of Desna, tasked with protecting the travelers, especially against magical treats.
Recently he completed his training and now doing his Wanderjahre along the roads of Thraydria, trying to find people willing to pay him for his protection.
So far he hasn't been very successful has most of the time he has helped poor people in need for free or received promises of pay hat rarely were maintained.

Juilius is still in contact with his family, that includes his father Calvin, his mother Jane, 4 surviving brothers and sisters and a large number of cousins, but he isn't very close to any of them.
His best friend is protector Colson, a aged inquisitor that has teached him the art of his profession.

Personality:
Julius is a trusting person, always willing to think the best of any sentient beings and even most animals. The only kind of creature that he distrust on first sight are the undead.
He is a carefree person, with a tendency to spend his money with ease and a noticeable curiosity about anything.
He keep a traveling journal of his experiences, something that his first teacher strongly urged it to do. He even register his dreams in it.

Xunal it sounds a lot like Doomguide's concept, but I would accept that submission. If there ends up being more subs than spots you may lose out to someone who brings more diversity to the party.

Personality:
Shyr is a friendly person, always wanting to think the best of verythig she runs across, although expierience has taught her that friendliness is ussually not enough unfortuantly. While Sarenrae is the goddess of redemption, and Shyra tries her best to redeem people who truly want to change, she has no mercy for the truly evil. She realizes she isn't very smart, and readily admits it. She is very devout to her goddess, which sometimes is irritating to others.

Background:
Shyr was born to one of the nomadic tribes of the desert. She lived with them for twelve years, before she was left at a temple of Sarenrae. The Nomads had been called to help fight a war agaisnt the roving Orc tribes. The nomads had left their children in the care of the temple, as well as to request that the temple's own warriors join their own. In the time the tribe was gone, Shyr connected with the priests and their goddess, feeling an unexplainable connection with Sarenrae, and when her parents returned three years later, asked to join the temple. With their permission, she began to train as a cleric there. She trained for the next six years, joining the priests healing, redeeming, and in the case of those unredeemable, making sure that their evil does not taint the land anymore. One day she felt an unresistable urge to travel to the lands of the west, and belieiving it a sign from Sarenrae herself, left the temple for the lands of the west. Along the way she met with a fellow traveler, Ashar Shirazi. On the outside he seemed a good man, but there seemed to be hints of darkness inside him, so she decided to keep an eye on him, and try to keep the darkness from consuming him. Hearing about the problems Baron Lumont was having while in Heron Falls, she decided that no matter what Ashar did, she would stay to help.


The only thing I noticed offhand was your BaB as a 1st lvl cleric should be 0 instead of +1 so that will effect your combat stuff, but other than that minor issue it looks good.


Got it corrected, thanks for picking up on that. I'm still juggling picking Strength to 18 and dropping Wisdom to 14, but I doubt I will do it.


No worries

Ooops! Missed that!

It looks like there's a shortage of "muscle", so far.

So, instead of that … How about either a Half-Orc or Half-Elf bloodrager (from ACG) with either the Abyssal or the Arcane bloodline? No archetype, of course.


sounds good.

Hailing from regions to the far east Dai was raised in a monastery high in the mountains. Learning to fight from the monks he finally ventured down the mountain and when he returned found the monastery razed to the ground. Tracking the deed to a group of Western mercenaries he followed to west and finally after killing the ones who burned his home he found himself stuck in the west and works towards gaining enough wealth to rebuild the monastery and train a new generation.


I believe this dwarf ranger is pretty much ready to go, besides totaling encumbrance and leftover cash.


I'd like to make a human fighter for this. He'll be a farm boy using a scythe and work on tripping people.


I would like to play a Human Sorcerer using word casting if possible. Very blast oriented.
