Greetings!
I am looking for 1 or 2 more players to join the crew which is playing through my version of Rise of the Runelords. As further detailed in the character creation outline below, the Big Thing to know here is that you must use a class from the Spheres system (or a Paizo class with a Spheres archetype). Standard Pathfinder magic (the Vancian system of spellcasting) does not exist in this game.
I am also playing fast and loose with the plot of the AP. I am incorporating some material that was published in the free Wayfinder #7 and making other changes of my own to make it more fresh since it is a very familiar AP for a lot of people. One example of this is that the raid on Sandpoint was carried out not by goblins, but by plant creatures and gremlins.
Ability Score Generation: 20-point buy; even after racial adjustments, I don't want to see a final score lower than 8 or higher than 18
Classes: any spherecaster (SoP), practicioner (SoM), or champion (CotS) class, or a Paizo class (but must use an archetype from the Spheres system)
Races: Core only (alternate traits, etc. can be from other sources)
Skills: we're using Background Skills (that's an additional 2 skill points at every character level, which must be spent on background skills)
Traits: standard 2 traits from different categories, + 1 campaign trait in addition to those
Hit Points: max at 1st level; later levels will be 1/2 your Hit Die +1 (as is done in Pathfinder Society)
Bonus Talents (house rule): beyond whatever talents are granted by your class, tradition (for practitioners/champions), and/or gaining the casting class feature the first time (for spherecasters/champions), you also gain 2 additional talents; each talent can be either a combat talent or a magic talent, as long as you have access to that type of talent already (no picking magic talents if you're a practitioner, nor picking combat talents if you're a spherecaster)
Feel free to ask questions!
I was gonna go "Hey, that sounds fun!", but then I was like "Wait, I'm in that game!".
I'm Estria, one of the current characters. o wo/ My build isn't quite online yet, but once it is, I'll be conjuring storms and hurling dispelling bombs at people, plus some healing and recovery to keep people going.
I should note that I am not expecting this to be competitive--you don't need to have a character built to apply with, just let us know if you're interested in joining the game, and we would be delighted to help you build your first Spheres character (it helps if you're willing to join our Discord server for faster chatting during that process). =)
If we do end up with 3 or more people expressing interest to join...we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Hey! I’m interested! I have no experience with Spheres nor play by posts, but I’m interested in getting started with both!
I have a rough idea in my head already - I would like to play a Fey Adept who focuses on Illusions and Time. I’m thinking perhaps a halfling runaway from Korvosa or another slave owning area who ended up in Sandpoint.
I’ll be a bit busy the next couple of days for Christmas, but I’d love to join the discord and get started after that. Let me know!
I'm interested, but what's your intended posting rate?
For my character, probably leaning toward SoM.
We really don't have an expected posting rate. My own is not a very steady rate, I don't think. But on average I probably move the game along twice a week. I post more often during combat.
If both of you are ready, go ahead and feel free to join. There is a link to the Discord server on the Campaign Info tab, and you can post in Discussion, too. We'll help you as much as you want with creating your characters and then you can join Gameplay. =)
I would be happy to join. I have two ideas floating in my head, either a Fey Adept or Thaumaturge or a Mage Knight if you need a mrtial.
Helikon, please join us, as well.
With that, I need to close this recruitment down.
