This be my Main Ability:
Iaijutsu Strike (Ex):
A sword saint can perform a lightning quick iaijutsu strike against the target of his challenge to inflict devastating wounds while drawing his sword. After the sword saint has challenged a foe but before he has attacked the target of his challenge, he may choose to use his iaijutsu strike as a full-round action, making an attack roll with his weapon as normal. In order to use this ability, the sword saint’s weapon must be sheathed at the start of his turn. If he successfully hits his opponent with an iaijutsu strike, his attack deals an additional +1d6 points of damage. This bonus damage increases by an additional +1d6 at 3rd level and every two levels thereafter to a maximum of +10d6 damage at 19th level. Any extra damage as a result of a successful iaijutsu strike is not multiplied by a critical hit.
After making an iaijutsu strike, a sword saint takes a –4 penalty to his AC until his next turn, but his weapon is now drawn and he may continually to fight normally. Regardless of whether he hits his opponent with the iaijutsu strike, a sword saint cannot use this ability on the same foe more than once per day.
At 10th level, a sword saint learns to focus faster and is able to make an iaijutsu strike as a standard action, and the penalty to his AC is reduced to –2.
give me the cue when you think it's time for me to defect.
Sorry, perhaps I'm not being clear: I haven't yet made any decisions on who is yet in the game or not. Mostly, I was warning that this character currently has a backstory that will directly conflict with the rest of the PCs, making it less likely to be chosen fl a potential party.
Hopefully clearer now.
OK, I posted my submission of Lazha to the link. I'm also posting her background here.
** spoiler omitted **
Also, a question. I'm taking the Birthmark trait, but I was wondering if for her it could show up as a stigmata that appears when she cast spells with a Divine Focus, rather than an actual Birthmark. That would fit with Naderi's...
Hmm... Mechanically the same, could be covered like a birthmark. Don't see why not, but keep an eye out for the symbol. I'm curious.

Really looking forward to the final picks on this one...
Hey, Hannyo? Aren't Meridian Strike and Anatomist both Combat Traits? You're never allowed to pick two traits from the same catagory. Not even with the Extra Traits feat.

Randall McNally Human Bard (Sea Singer)
Randall left his home in Riddleport at the age of thirteen as a cabin boy on his first ship. Through the years Randall rose through the ranks all the way to Bosun on his last ship until an incident with the ship owner's daughter caused him to leave port and wind up in The Shackles waiting for an opportunity to set sail again.
The suspense is killing me. I want to get into this campaign so bad. The arc of going from shanghaied land lubber to renowned pirate just seems like a complete blast.
Friday can't come fast enough.
Scrubbed leftover stuff from character sheet. Should be good now.
Where I'm at it is already Friday. Man I like this character. I love pirate campaigns. I too would love to play this AP. Best of luck to ALL!
I've updated and reformatted my character info and it can be viewed on the character profile. I've also submitted the form under this characters name.
I am presenting a half-orc battle oracle. I can't seem to locate the background story so I will give you the short version.
He was a basically a combat medic that was good in combat also. He never received any credit though. Eventually he grew tired of being ignored, and allowed someone to die. This led to court martial, and to him being cursed(tongues). Some entity noticed him, and decided to give him the powers of an oracle.
Personality:He believes that you should not depend on others to do the right thing, and that you should make your own way. He also believes in giving credit and blame where it is due. If he is not your friend and/or he does not value your skills then he will not risk his self for you. He is a very practical person.
Party contributions: Most of the spells will be on buffing either himself or the party.
He also has ranks in diplomacy, and sense motive. Maybe intimidate also. He does have the cure spells as an oracle, but he may or not may wade into combat to save you depending on the situation.
Sounds like my kind of PBP (never done it before but been reading a few S&S threads)! Hope I can join in :D
Here's my character:
Caleb Lightfingers
Halfling Rogue (swashbuckler)
I'll post through your google docs page too
Traits: Buccaneer's Blood (+1 profession sailor, +1 intimidate, +1 infamy/disrepute)
Suspicious (+1 sense motive and always class skill)
Racial FeaturesStandard Halfling except 'Low Blow' from APG which replaces keen senses.
Caleb uses a rapier and starknife for ranged attacks. He will continue as a rogue for a while, but might dip into Fighter (Cad), shackles pirate, inner sea pirate or duellist at higher levels.
Quick Background: Raised in slipcove by father only who encouraged freedom and worship of Desna. Caleb dreamed of being a buccaneer all his life but Caleb's father admonished piracy and always maintained that honest work is its own reward. Caleb never agreed with this but respected his father so remained quiet. Meanwhile he visited temples of Desna and Cayden Cailean, learning about drink, travel and swordplay at night against his father's knowledge.
When he got older he discovered that his father was in fact a retired pirate himself! He had hidden this fact from Caleb in the hopes that his son wouldn't make the same mistakes he did. When Caleb found out, he ran away from home in order to fulfil his dream of being a famous pirate. He envisages it to be a wonderful, exciting life and has no idea about the horrors and hardships ahead of him.
Caleb is boisterous and loud but friendly at heart. On arrival at Port Peril, he immediately blew all his money on pirate gear (his starknife is the only thing he carries of any sentimental value) including clothes and tattoos (spent last 11gp on them so I assume decent quality) of Desna, Cayden Cailean and Besmara's symbols on his arms.
Caleb wears his hair in a loose ponytail and constantly has a cocky smirk across his face. He adopts an easy, low fencing stance during combat but is quick to dart forward to take advantage of openings or escape altogether through a larger foe's legs.

I've run two groups before, its tricky but to a degree easier than running two completely different campaigns. The goal is to just keep the distinctions between each group in mind when preparing material. Don't assume both will go the same.
Rocky Horror! i must go watch now, thanks purplefixer.

Sorry. Pops up from time to time. Good to keep 'fresh' anyway.
Hoping we see a balanced-ish party. Might be a handy tool to cut the submissions into roles and then pick one or two of each role to the top of the list and then cut those down to size for the most harmonious party.
Can't believe this AP actually encourages me to play a NE Pirate... @.o

I wonder how those who've tried the LG Paladins have fared in this AP. It would be interesting...until they died of course.
Ahh, but if you sell your services to the highest bidding nation then you're a privateer and have have a safe port of call to refit and sell your booty ;)
Don't take this the wrong way, but you guys are jerks. Making a stranger have to make a choice like this... but I suppose I asked for it! Apologies for the late notice, but it both took that long to decide and I was having mobile Internet connections.
After considering your write-ups and the "best" party combinations, plus considering who the Wormwood press gang might find the best additions, I have made the following selections:
- Jericho
- Octavia
- Mithas Aran
- Lazha
Congratulations to you four. I'll be posting more information soon in the Discussion component of the thread, then we will begin play shortly thereafter. I will also send each of you a PM with notice. If you do not post acknowledgement of this selection within 24 hours, I will offer your space to a Pre-designated alternate.
For those of you not chosen, if you would like to continue being considered as an alternate, please indicate so below.
If you were not chosen and you own the AP, I encourage you to consider running this for any of the fine characters remaining.
For those of you who want me to run this as two games at once, I'm sorry. That just won't work, and it wouldn't be fair to either group.
Again, congrats to the selections. I'll see you in the discussion thread.
I'd like to be considered as an alternate or replacement if either become necessary.
Thanks.
I'd like to be considered as an alternate or replacement if either become necessary.
Thanks.
Acknowledged.
i would like to be considered as an alternate or replacement as well.
I definately would like to be considered (didn't make a aliias for Sylvanus but can if need be
I stopped making aliases until I get accepted didn't want a bunch of unused aliases
Rex, Fen, Edward: Acknowledged.
Edward, understood, and I don't blame you. Part of what I was hoping to avoid with the Google Doc.
I have a keep trying policy. Consider me open for an alternate but I will be looking through recruitment for another Skull and Shackles campaign to sign up for i the meantime.
i would like to be an alternate.
Leon, Fenis, acknowledged.
YOU DIDN"T PICK ME SCREW YOU! *cries*
;p
Have fun, guys, it's one of the best written APs so far. Just the 'how to run a ship' and the details and supplemental support so far have been -phenomenal-. I'll get my chance to play 'Overboard' somewhere else. Just don't blame me if one of you gets washed off during a storm!
Several others recruiting at the moment... I might even run one of my own.
