This is a recruitment for a new campaign in my homebrew world of Kassht.
The premise is that the player characters are all members of the Iron Mountain dwarf militia. The Iron Mountains are a cluster of mountains in the north central part of Kassht. The plain that surrounds the Mountains was once the Northern March of the Kingdom of Kassht, a predominately human kingdom. The Kingdom and the dwarves were staunch allies against the creatures of the Frozen Wastes to the north and the hated drow who lived on the other side of the mountains on the west side of the plain. Forty years ago, however, a horde led by the Taloth orc clan was able to force the humans to retreat to the other side of Arkhym's Teeth to the south. They tried to get the dwarves to come as well, but they were too stubborn and decided to fight for their ancestral home. To the humans' surprise, the dwarves have successfully defended the Iron Mountains, though they are unable to push the orcs and their subjugated races back. The Iron Mountain clans are effectively under embargo, however. The only trade that goes in or comes out is what the dwarves can smuggle out through secret exits and down the Alenka River to the Kingdom. Your first mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to escort a shipment of metal down to the Kingdom and bring supplies back.
Sources: No guns, but otherwise Paizo material that I can find on the PFSRD will probably be allowed. I'm willing to consider 3pp material if you can give me a link.
Level: 2. The catch is that your first level has to be a level of monk. Your 2nd (and subsequent) levels can be in any class except barbarian and gunslinger.
Alignment: LG, NG, LN, N. Normal alignment restrictions for classes are still in effect (which is the reason for no barbarians).
Races:: Dwarf...just dwarf :).
Stats: 25 pt. buy.
Traits:: 2 (no drawbacks)
Wealth:: 1,000 gp
Campaign Bonus Feat: In my world, every race gets a bonus feat at 1st level. The dwarven one allows you to wear armor and still use your monk class abilities as long as the ACP of your armor is 0. This doesn't extend to shields.
HP: Max for your monk level, max for your 2nd level, and subsequent levels will be .5*HD+1.
Ideally, I'd like at least 1 post per day, but I understand that the ideal isn't always possible. Feel free to ask any other questions and/or read through the other campaign I'm running in this world to see how I run a game.
dotting for interest
Definitely interested. I like what you're doing with Allence.
Since you offered up Allence, feel free to poke around some of my aliases. I'd ask that you read them in context however.
Would drunken master or other archetypes be acceptable for the first level of monk? Drunken master just leapt to mind. Not saying it's what I'm going to do. I've got a flowing monk character idea that might work too.
What's the deadline for submissions? Do you want concepts only or full crunch?
Since you offered up Allence, feel free to poke around some of my aliases. I'd ask that you read them in context however.
I see we've already gamed together: I played Billin in the Citadel of Flame game Trig was in.
Would drunken master or other archetypes be acceptable for the first level of monk?
Yes, archetypes are acceptable.
What's the deadline for submissions?
Right now, I'm planning to close recruitment at 9:00 EST on Sunday night (1/25). I might close it early if I get a ton of submissions, but I'll make sure to give everyone at least 24 hours notice if that happens.
Do you want concepts only or full crunch?
I'd prefer full crunch, but I understand if you want to flesh out your idea further before you crunch it out.
Dotting for interest. I have this idea for a rough around the edges dwarf who only knows fighting as a way to live. Probably going to put my other level into fighter and make him a strong front liner. I'll get him drawn up tomorrow.
Dotting. How come you want our characters to have a level in monk? Is there any material you have that we could use to justify being a monk?
I might take something like slayer or rogue, and be the 'sneak' part of the group.
This looks interesting, I am new to the boards but I have played Pathfinder for years. I am thinking of doing a Zen Archer/Ranger build if that sounds ok? I will probably have this drawn up by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.
ill dot in for intrest ill try to have my caracter up soon
I'll work up a Monk / Alchemist this evening for submission.
Very much dotting. Probably Monk/Druid.
Just for character Backstory questions.. why monk.
And do you see the monk as more shaolin, or like an irish monk, ready to bareknucklefight for his faith?
I have a zen archer / inquisitor in mind
Thanks, all of you, for the interest, and I look forward to seeing your submissions.
dotting for interest. Dwarven Monk of the Iron Mountain.
Dwarfs don't have a favored class bonus listed but Duregar do. Would it be ok to use it? Thanks.

Backstory: Gilak was born 20 years before the orcs invaded but was not skilled enough to help at the time. He has now grown strong and has joined the Iron Mountain Militia. He is unproven in battle but knows he is capable. He has been hired on to excort a trade shipment to the south. He hopes to do his family and clan proud. He is brash and quick to speak his mind and a bit rude. This all makes him unpleasant at first meeting. He is known for his Strength and has the ability to scout with his keen eyes and sneakyness.
Here is Gilak, will make an alias if selected and Aegis is accepted. Thanks for the consideration.
also dotting for interest
side question:after reading your reasoning as to "why monk?" i get the idea, only dicaplined and trained people are allowed outside to ensure the safty of the group, what are your thoughts on if i was to say take fighter and spend one of the feets on improved unarmed combat to signify the training they went through. the monk class signifies a certain mind set ontop of the mechanics provided and while im not againt the mindset and the majority of dwarves in this clan following it i find personally for roleplaying i better fit the stoic loyal fighter that excels in combat and even one level of monk i feel would shift that to a slightly more spiritual side of things than i would prefer. let me know what you think, i can build something either way but i wanted to run this past you first
edit:oh also played LN or LG to solidify he is understanding of the situation
I have returned with my character pretty much done. The background is brief because I didn't want to take too many liberties with a world I don't know much about. But he has a rich, detailed personality that should make for some interesting roleplaying.
For crunch, I ended up going Monk (Weapon Adept, Master of Many Styles) 1/Fighter (Two-Weapon Warrior) 1. He's a pretty tough front liner who can take and dish out damage. He doesn't have many skill points but I dropped them into useful things.

i would really like to get in this game but i just can't get a fell for the campaign and feel very stumped with the monk level i don't know have to even get a backstory can you give me some more pleases
Dotting, very interested.
Aegis link...
I've never played in a game with psionics, so I'm a little hesitant to include them. I'll give it a look-over, though.
what are your thoughts on if i was to say take fighter and spend one of the feets on improved unarmed combat to signify the training they went through. the monk class signifies a certain mind set ontop of the mechanics provided and while im not againt the mindset and the majority of dwarves in this clan following it i find personally for roleplaying i better fit the stoic loyal fighter that excels in combat and even one level of monk i feel would shift that to a slightly more spiritual side of things than i would prefer.
I'm not sure I grasp exactly what you mean about the monk entailing a certain mindset. The only feature of a 1st level monk that would seem to have any connection to the character's mindset is the alignment restriction, but since you're offering to play your fighter as LG or LN anyway, I don't see what the advantage is for you being a fighter. Maybe you can help me understand what your problem with monks is?

Thank you for your submission. Almost everything seems to be in order. I do have two comments, however: 1) we need to come to an understanding of exactly what a 5 Charisma means, and 2) I want to make sure you're aware of the errata to Pummeling Style.
1) we need to come to an understanding of exactly what a 5 Charisma means...
Ugly, unemphatic, socially inept, blunt, zero social grace, among other things. He's a hard guy to like. I have played an evil strix magus in a WotW campaign who had a 6 charisma so I've had a little experience with it. Profile here. Trust me, I'll roleplay the penalties of having a charisma that low. I really enjoyed playing him and wanted to dry a dumped charisma character again. In the same way that my character would need to bail a spellcaster out of a physical problem, others would need to bail Ihro out of social problems.
2) I want to make sure you're aware of the errata to Pummeling Style.
Indeed, I had spent a significant time making sure the build would work. Generally the plan is he uses a monk weapon in his right hand (a kama or quarterstaff which I will use my perfect strike feat with), while his other hand is open for unarmed strikes, including pummeling style. It's a very diverse, flexible fighting style if you think about it. He has a short curved weapon in one hand with the other hand empty, but the empty hand is just as deadly.
Thank you for your submission. Almost everything seems to be in order. I do have two comments, however: 1) we need to come to an understanding of exactly what a 5 Charisma means, and 2) I want to make sure you're aware of the errata to Pummeling Style.
Get used to low charisma. We are being forced into monk on a charisma penalty race.
IF you wanted to have a character with a charisma focus you may need to revise some things.
I'm going to bow out. The level dip for spellcasters is no fun. Best of luck.
This looks quite fun. I love homebrew, love dwarves, love localized, themed adventures/campaigns. I noticed there was not much talk of arcane characters, so I have done up a dwarf monk/sorcerer (utilizing the 'Sage' wildblooded variant of the arcane bloodline, which uses intelligence rather than charisma for all sorcerer-based things). Virtually complete, the only thing I did not finish is a selection of 1st level sorcerer spells...if accepted, I'd like to get a gauge of what the group dynamic would be before figuring out what role to fill magic-wise.
I didn't really come up with any fluff since you said you were preferring crunch at the moment, and I didn't want to make any presumptions since it is your world. A most basic explanation would be that he is a a descendent of a long line of forgers of magical arms and armor, which has manifested in him as the bloodline. I may go into magic item crafting, depending on the amount of foreseeable downtime this campaign might have.
Oh, one question, just because I would be annoyed with myself if I did not ask - duergar are my favorite race in tabletop gaming, so I was wondering if that might be an available option, perhaps coming up with some good reasons story-wise? I understand if not, but I just thought I would bring it up just in case. (If so, I would retool the character a bit):

IF you wanted to have a character with a charisma focus you may need to revise some things.
Eh, to a certain extent he's right. A class that 99% of the time doesn't care about charisma (the exception is the kata master archetype which somebody has already made) combined with a race that has a charisma penalty is going to lead to an ugly party.
However, I just want it to be made clear that my main account avatar is a dwarven bard who is the greatest bard that has ever existed.
what are your thoughts on if i was to say take fighter and spend one of the feets on improved unarmed combat to signify the training they went through. the monk class signifies a certain mind set ontop of the mechanics provided and while im not againt the mindset and the majority of dwarves in this clan following it i find personally for roleplaying i better fit the stoic loyal fighter that excels in combat and even one level of monk i feel would shift that to a slightly more spiritual side of things than i would prefer.I'm not sure I grasp exactly what you mean about the monk entailing a certain mindset.

Maybe you can help me understand what your problem with monks is?
small advantages like getting a quicker start on class features, but this isnt a min max thing really to me, its a role play thing. to me a monk is at least a mildly spiritual person in nature while certainly role player can be a big part of a character im sure you would not disagree that class plays some role in how the person thinks and behaves, druids being a primary example. I belive what your looking for in the monk is a person with great diciplin and i totally get that part based on the story youve presented thus far, and i agree that monks are the easyest pit in the role for the clan that youve presented. i feel that though any class can present diciplin needed to work hard keep the clan safe and bite the bullet if cought. dicaplin is a personal trait not something someone needs a class to achieve, in defferance though i will agree that martial classes are more likle to be dicaplined in that manner. i think a dwarven fighter can be just as dicaplined as your looking for but would have a diffrent look at life. perhaps more gritty or just more "on earth".
does that help explain it better? i find im not very eliquent but i try
I could have phrased things better. I wasn't objecting to stat dumping per se(I don't do a lot of it personally, but I understood it was in the cards when I set things up), and I wasn't meaning to imply that I thought you wouldn't roleplay the 5 Charisma. At least half my concern was that you would and that your idea of roleplaying a dumped Charisma would be that it gave you an excuse to be a jerk. To me, Charisma is also about force of personality, so the guy who obnoxiously insists on getting his own way all the time has as much claim to a high Charisma as the guy who has social skills. 5 Charisma and a Lawful Neutral alignment could easily be the guy who goes along with whatever somebody else wants him to do. Low Charisma is OK, socially inept is OK, ugly is OK; using it as a cover for being a disruptive player is not OK.
Oh not at all. A low charisma doesn't make you a jerk. It might make you come off as a jerk because of how blunt or socially inept you are, but it's completely independent of what kind of person you are. There are plenty of really nice, self sacrificing people who just don't know how to talk to people.
At his core, Ihro is a soldier. He eats breathes and sleeps fighting for his dwarven brothers and sisters. He has no need for social pleasantries or good grooming, for how do those things help him survive on the battlefield? Leave that to the people who are good at it and want to do it. Ihro is going to better the dwarves the way he can and knows how to, by fighting their enemies so that those who can't don't have to.
Hmm, with more thought about it I could actually see him being LG.
I've been looking for an all dwarf campaign for a while, and have a definite interest... My only reservation is that I'm kind of burnt out on monks right now :(
Any chance you would allow one sacred fist (the very monkish war priest archetype) in the party?
I had a thought for a sensei cavalier combo ..... how would a mount fit into the campaign? IE, is it lots of dungeon crawling or anything like that which would make difficulties for a mount??
to me a monk is at least a mildly spiritual person in nature
I think this sentence is the crux of the disconnect between us. I'm not sure this statement is even universally true for core Pathfinder, but (even if it is) it's definitely not true for my world. Also, although the discipline involved with being a monk is certainly a large component of me using a level of monk to represent Nalbrin, it is not the entire reason. I also envision the training as making those who succeed tougher (both physically and mentally), the fact that monks have all good saves is a mechanical manifestation of that. I understand what you're saying, but I'm going to hold to the monk requirement in this case (see below for an exception I am willing to consider).

Hey! I resemble that remark :P! Seriously, though, it's good to see that we're on the same page.
Any chance you would allow one sacred fist (the very monkish war priest archetype) in the party?
I'll be honest: if you submit a warpriest and somebody else submits a monk 1/cleric 1, I'm liable to go with the multiclass build because it will let me test out my homebrew feat :). I'm willing to consider the sacred fist, though. In comparison to the fighter, which I'm disallowing as a monk substitute, the warpriest does at least have two good saves. That good Will save is that much less of a chance that some Taloth spellcaster succeeds on an enchantment spell..."Say, great bosom buddy I just met, could you please direct me to the nearest dwarven hideout?" :)
very well, i respect your opinion, thanks for at least hearing me out, ill see about drawing something up cuz im still totally interested in joining, i havnt looked at monk in a long time so ill do that first and get back to here with a character idea. RP question, how long have the dwarves been hold out and trying to stop the orcs from messing up their day, so to speak?
I had a thought for a sensei cavalier combo .....
I had a sensei/standard bearer who took the battle herald PrC- he was a fun character, and no mount :)
@GM- I'm not really familiar with your feat but the sacred fist gets Wis to AC and flurry of blows, so I'm guessing the feat would be just fine for him?
Mattock is coming along. Although the idea was appealing, Drunken Master won't work out; I can RP his drinking. He'll be a quiet morose, drunk. Flowing monk might work out, if I take him to third level in monk. But that would be crazy bad. ** Must resist urge to multiclass myself into uselessness. **
Leaning toward illusionist as his favored school if we have another arcane caster in the party. If not, transmuter or conjuror are likely.
Oh, one question, just because I would be annoyed with myself if I did not ask - duergar are my favorite race in tabletop gaming, so I was wondering if that might be an available option, perhaps coming up with some good reasons story-wise? I understand if not, but I just thought I would bring it up just in case.
Sorry, no duergar. I don't blame you for asking, though.
is it lots of dungeon crawling or anything like that which would make difficulties for a mount?
The first mission should be fine. I haven't planned further out than that.

Nate, I think he means this homebrew feat:
...
Campaign Bonus Feat: In my world, every race gets a bonus feat at 1st level. The dwarven one allows you to wear armor and still use your monk class abilities as long as the ACP of your armor is 0. This doesn't extend to shields.
...
Currently working on a Zen archer.
how long have the dwarves been hold out and trying to stop the orcs from messing up their day, so to speak?
They've been holed up in the mountains for forty years, ever since the humans were chased off. They were fighting the orcs alongside the humans for centuries before that.
@GM- I'm not really familiar with your feat but the sacred fist gets Wis to AC and flurry of blows, so I'm guessing the feat would be just fine for him?
Looking at Thom's quote, I see where your confusion comes from. I'd meant to put in that you had to be proficient with the armor in question, but I see that I didn't. Anyway, that's the issue with the warpriest. A sacred fist warpriest gives up his armor proficiencies. A monk 1/cleric 1 has proficiency with up to medium armor via his cleric level, so the bonus feat allows him to wear armor. The warpriest (sacred fist) 2, however, would need to take Armor Proficiency (Light) in order to benefit from the bonus feat.
Hey! I resemble that remark :P! Seriously, though, it's good to see that we're on the same page.
Good, I'm glad to hear that. I believe that clears everything up with my character, so I'll quietly lurk around until decision time.
Ok, now I get it... I was thinking that if it wasn't gonna cost me the use of any class abilities I'd take the armor expert trait and grab a masterwork chainshirt... With 0 ACP there'd be no non-proficiency penalty so I wouldn't lose anything, but if your feat requires proficiency that obviously changes that...
I'll keep thinking about potential multiclass monk combos that I might be able to get excited about and see if I can come up with something before the submission deadline. (Do you really need all 4 players to test the same feat?)
Sarpadian is a great GM, you guys should have an awesome time. I'm playing in his other campaign set in this world and it's been a lot of fun.
Do you really need all 4 players to test the same feat?
No, I don't guess I do. The flavor of the sacred fist is close enough to what I'm going for. If you're OK with not getting a benefit from the bonus feat, then go for it.
Sarpadian is a great GM...
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Budd. It helps to have great players. Y'all stuck with me while I was getting my feet wet as a PbP GM, and these guys get to reap the benefits.

--Since Riuk was young he was an odd one. He was fascinated with going outside of the mountain, always asking if he could go. Once Riuk old enough his father told him the only way he could leave to see the outside world he would have to go to the Militia. The very next day He joined up, in his training although he took to it lake every one else Riuk did not feel it was for him. On day he found a oddly colored Bagger black with red strips down it body.
As he played and raise this animal there connection grew until the day he had a revelation from the God Tanagaar. The vision he had tolled Riuk he should be an inquisitor, so he did and now after all these years he has his chance to see some of the world. Riuk is ready and so is the loyal bagger by his side that has grown in power and strength would join Riuk in his travels.

Number is tricks 7 (int2) (Bonus+1)
Attack (2) :
The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks.
Flank (1):
You can instruct an animal to attack a foe you point to and always attempt to be adjacent to (and threatening) that foe. If you or an ally is also threatening the foe, the animal attempts to flank the foe, if possible. It always takes attacks of opportunity. The animal must know the attack trick before it can learn this trick.
Exclusive (1):
The animal takes directions only from the handler who taught it this trick. If an animal has both the exclusive and serve tricks, it takes directions only from the handler that taught it the exclusive trick and those creatures indicated by the trainer's serve command. An animal with the exclusive trick does not take trick commands from others even if it is friendly or helpful toward them (such as through the result of a charm animal spell), though this does not prevent it from being controlled by other enchantment spells (such as dominate animal), and the animal still otherwise acts as a friendly or helpful creature when applicable.
Sneak (1):
The animal can be ordered to make Stealth checks in order to stay hidden and to continue using Stealth even when circumstances or its natural instincts would normally cause it to abandon secrecy.
Stay (1):
The animal stays in place, waiting for you to return. It does not challenge other creatures that come by, though it still defends itself if it needs to.
Hunt (1):
This trick allows an animal to use its natural stalking or foraging instincts to find food and return it to the animal's handler. An animal with this trick may attempt Survival checks (or Wisdom checks if the animal has no ranks in Survival) to provide food for others or lead them to water and shelter (as the “get along in the wild” use of the Survival skill). An animal with this trick may use the aid another action to assist Survival checks made by its handler for these purposes.

You should look the Aegis over for sure but you don't have to wory about Psionics with them even though they are a Psionic class they don't have Psionic powers they manifest. So yeah let me know what you think about Gilak.
I had a sensei/standard bearer who took the battle herald PrC- he was a fun character, and no mount :)
was reading that archetype/prestige class combo last night.....exactly what I was looking for, and nice to have some first hand knowledge that it works! Off to build......
