Shattered Star (Inactive)

Game Master thomrenault

Hey everyone this is my first time running a PbP. I'm looking for 4-5 PC's for Shattered Star.

Calculate attributes using a 25 point buy.

Any Class or Archetype (except for summoner) from one of the Core Pathfinder books is fine.

I prefer the core races, but a good backstory can definitely get the go ahead for one of the 'rarer' races.

Your characters can select 3 traits, 1 campaign and 2 other.

Feel free to look at the Varisia: Birthplace of legends and the Shattered Star Player's Guide for options while stating up characters.

For equipment use the average starting gold listed in the starting gold table. If I've missed anything let me know.

Feats:
Additional Traits: Instead of merely having two traits at the start of character creation, taking this feat gives Katie the ability to have four.
Druid Weapon Proficiencies: Katie is trained to use weapons that meet the cultural approval of her people.
Endurance: Katie gets a +4 to some physical actions. (Bonus feat granted from Shaman's apprentice.)

Traits
Anatomist: Specially trained in nursing and medicine when she was back home with the Druidic Orcs, Katie has learned how to apply that knowledge in knowing where to strike on the body. In short, she gets a +1 on attack rolls to confirm critical hits.

Beneficent Touch (1/day), Katie is so good at healing magic, once per day she can reroll a one on a "Cure" spell.

Caretaker: Trained at the Druidic Orc's nursing school, Katie became a model of the caretaker. She gains +1 to all Heal checks, and Heal is a class skill for her no matter what class she takes.

Gifted Adept: Since magic so permeates the Druidic Orc's society, everyone knows a smattering of it. Katie, however, became the top of her class in perfecting one spell, "Cure Light Wounds." She always casts it as if she were 1 level higher than she actually is.

Skills:
Handle Animal +4,
Heal +10,
Knowledge (arcana) +3,
Knowledge (nature) +8,
Profession (herbalist) +9,
Spellcraft +6,
Survival +11,

Combat Gear:
Club, Heavy wooden shield,
Hide armor,
Scimitar;

Other Gear:
Backpack,
Bedroll,
Belt pouch,
Blanket,
Cleric's vestments,
Fishing net,
Flask,
Healer's kit (10 uses),
Holly and mistletoe,
Mirror,
Reinforced scarf
Monk's clothing + sweater jacket.
Money: 89 gold,
(Katie doesn't bother with rations. She casts "Goodberry" as her daily food supply.

Special Abilities
Darkvision (60 feet): Katie can see in the dark (black and white vision only).
Druid Sub-Domain: Seasons: Granted Powers: Untouched by the seasons. Katie can simulate an endure elements effect that lasts 1 hour per level.
Spontaneous Casting: Katie can convert stored spells into Summon Nature's Ally spells.
Wild Empathy +1 (Ex): On her home island, almost everyone can talk to animals. They are such a part of life, that wild empathy is easy for a druid to learn.
Sacred Tattoo: +1 to all saving throws. For Bre-ayne Orcs, this trait replaces Orcish ferocity.
Shaman's apprentice: Grants Endurance as a bonus feat. Since druids are 80 % of the population (as are Half-Orcs) on the Bre-ayne island, nearly everyone was apprenticed to an elder druid. For Bre-ayne Orcs, this trait replaces Intimidating.

Katie is a tall Half-Orc with sage-green skin. She has red hair and green eyes, and wears green monk's clothes. Finding this too revealing and provacative, she also wears a sweater jacket to protect her modesty and provide pockets. She also has a belt pouch and a reinforced scarf. Furthermore, she has a tatoo of a leaf within a pentacle.

Personality
Katie is generally friendly and kind.

She is, however, relatively guarded due to prejudice against Orcs and Half-Orcs. Her clan, the Bre-ayne Orcs, renounced evil and barbarianism in favor of goodness and druidism, with intention of becoming the masters of divine nature magick. When you're that deep in communion with the planet and Gaia herself, why bother conquering anyone else? How... not neutral! But most people don't know the Bre-ayne even exist, and she's certainly not telling anyone. Occasionally she may slip up, beginning to mention the Bre-ayne, but hastily interrupting herself and changing the subject.

Background
Kathleen Eaglefeather comes from the Bre-ayne, a group of Orcs and Half-Orcs who have renounced barbarianism and evil alignment, in favor of druidism and goodness. Naturally their existance is a greatly kept secret. Having been sent off on her vision quest as a teen, Kathleen was captured by a paladin of the Silver Crusade, and joined him. Though it was quickly learned that Katie was no warrior, she was trained in medicine by her mentor, a druid and nurse, back home. Though useless in the thick of a fight, she can offer a party medical abilities and healing spells. "Cure Lt. Wounds" is actually Katie's specialty. She is an excellent herbalist as well.

Kind and benevolent, Katie dislikes combat situations, and would prefer to seek a peaceful outcome. She gladly steps in and helps those whom she considers to be less fortunate than she, though she does tend to get into infrequent trouble because she believes no one can own any part of the earth. She almost never refuses to help people if she can.

It pains her, however, that people still look at her and see nothing but an Orc. Because Elves have been the cruellest to her, she doesn't trust them, even when she adventures with them. But she seldom gets hostile. Instead, she believes, as do the Druidic Orcs she came from, in the mantra of overcome evil with good. Not good as in bashing necromancers, that's not good, that's just violence. But good as in works and compassion.

She comes from a place where her Orcish kin are above the savagery of the barbarian, preferring to specialize in communion with nature, and she is no exception. Though she'd like to return home, she still feels she has not yet lived up to her incomplete vision quest. As a further complication, Katie has come to accept the Silver Crusade as her own. But because that advocates for cities a touch too much for any true druid, she seeks to find a balance between her pagan faith and her political convictions.

I would like to submit Rameth the Delver

I created him to submit to another Shattered Star, earlier, but the more the merrier I suppose, since it is so tough to get accepted to a PbP :)

with a 25 pt buy I will bump Wis to 14 and enjoy the bonuses that provides, bump Int to 12 and Con to 13

Otherwise I believe everything stays the same.

Dotting for interest. Are you going to take the first few that submit characters, or are you going to set a deadline and pick from those who submit by then?

I aim to have a decision by next Monday, so it's open for applications until then.

Dotting for interest, will be submitting an Aasimar Inquisitor.

I am submitting Falco Montajay, Male Halfling Cavalier (Honor Guard/Strategist) Order of the Shield with a wolf mount.

human varisia, magus (kapenia dancer)

stats would go up for str to 16, and third trait. auspicious Tattoo +1 will, and will change gear to reflect starting money.

Krass Kargoth, hobgoblin fighter.

With 25 point buy his con would go up to 16 and his charisma to 13. The third trait would be 'indomitable faith' for a +1 to will saves.

I would like to submit Osgar the half-orc Alchemist, who in his struggle to shed his orc side through alchemy discovered something deeper and darker within himself. More tomorrow.

I was thinking a Human Staff Magus with a fascination for Azlanti and Thassilonian history.

So far I've got:

Brutis Boyle, Human Barbarian (Titan Mauler)
Katie Eaglefeather, Half-Orc Druid
Rameth the Delver, Human Bard (Archeologist)
Malena Imoroa, Human Magus (bladed scarf)
Falco Montajay, Halfling Cavalier (with Wolf mount)
Osgar, Half-Orc Alchemist
Krass Kargoth, Hobgoblin Fighter

I really like everyone's submissions so far, decisions will be tough. It's quite possible we'll be starting before the end of the week. One thing I forgot to mention in my initial post was, I'd like to see approximately 1 post/day. Is everyone up for that level of commitment?

Marian the Magnificent
Tiefling Conjurer of noble, though bastardly Chelixian Origin. Nothing more than a slave, beaten regulary by his brutal stepfather, who saw his wives infidelity as a shame on the glorious name of his house, he escaped with some other slaves, notably halflings in a midnight dash for freedom. One of the rescuers from the bellflower network took pity and adopted him into her care. It took months to transform the shy and meek into a young man? with a curious fascination with knowledge. His mother took him to Magnimar and they settled in a very unusual relationship and are the reason for many a raised eyebrow when he calls her "mother" in puplic.
One trait will be in any case adopted(helpful)

I'll throw my hat in the ring:

Ty Kaddren

charcter may require some adjustment for the creation rules but will worry about that if accepted.

Confirming 1 post per day at minimum.

Also because I think it is good to get a little character flavor, a little sample of Rameth

EDIT: Rameth will also have to drop some gear to be Average and not max, He will lose his coin, the holy water and alchemist fire to get to average wealth

I can usually manage two per day.

Well one per day is absolutly possible, only if my stepson is there it will be challenging.

Once a day is not a problem

Count me in.
Bimbur is ranged combat, scouting, and tracking in one package. He won't truly start to peak until third level, but that is how it is with dwarven zen archers. If there is no true thief or trap disabler, Bimbur can quickly be changed to have disable device as a class skill and have +11 disable device at first level with masterwook tools if needed.

I'd like to submit this character, Adrielle Terryne, a female human cleric of Shelyn. I made her for another shattered star campaign and really like the character. Needs to be adjusted to a 25 pt buy but I would bump her con and int to 14. I would take indomitable faith so a +1 to will saves for the third trait

once a day no problem except on weekends.

Also I can generally do about 2 per day. Once per day on weekends.

Another Addition, the third trait would be Historian

Well that was easy, I like what I see and I think we can kick this off sooner than I thought. Also weekends won't be a problem, you can post as time permits on the weekends. I'll take:

-Rameth the Delver
-Adrielle Terryne
-Bimbur Longstrike
-Falco Montajay
-Malena Imoroa

Thanks to everyone else for their submissions. I'll open up the main thread asap.

good luck all hope I get in the other shattered star game.

FANTASTIC!!! Making edits to Rameth now!!

As far as these types of details go, you guys can talk it out in the discussion thread. I think you've got your bases pretty well covered.

Presenting Donaon Vanderale, Knight Errant. Further history and crunch forthcoming.

Donaon was born in Magnimar, the third child of a minor noble. After a disastrous duel which resulted in the death of a rival's son, he was disowned by his family and set out to seek his fortune on his own.

Leaving his father's manor with a horse, lance, sword and armor, he arrived at the Pathfinder Lodge, eager to demonstrate his skills and bravado.
