Vai is completed, please let me know what you think of her. I included a section on her abilities, rather than a full character sheet (though if that's what you'd prefer, I won't hesitate to make up a full one).

Looks good. For your own sanity, you're going to want to have your saves and attacks calculated, but aside from that no need to worry about making a full character sheet.
I own all of the Palladium fantasy books. I don;t play it anymore, but I definately use it for reference. The Wolfen are my favorites. Played a Wolfen witch once...was epic :P
Alright, put those in too. Could you give me some advice on... introducing myself? They seem to be in the middle of some sort of action sequence right now.

Yeah, we're sort of at the beginning of the mopping up phase. Feel free to introduce yourself in the discussion thread and one of us will give you the signal when it's time to bring your character in, which shouldn't take long.
You and your 6s.
Looks like a fun PbP, not really used to run this kind of stuff, but considering i just moved away from my regular DnD group, i think it could be fun.
And unless i have misunderstood anything, you guys sound like u could always use one more character, otherwise please say so. And any feedback greatly appreciated.
As Character i was considering a Gnome Half angel with multiple personality disorder (a product of his angelic side, and in effect meaning i stat up 2 different characters). I was thinking to let one of them be a Rogue/Antipaladin/shadowdancer gestalt, being very sneaky and stealthy loving to plot (and dosnt use anything the half angel template gives). While the other should be a LG paladin/Oracle. The twist would then be that they dont know they are the same person, but thinks that they are almost identical twins, so that is why people mistake them for one another. I think it would fit best in with a student, as this is some serious disfunctionality.

Seems like this one would be a lot of fun. :)
Would it be too much trouble to not use shadowdancer? I've already got a shadow assassin and a couple of ninjas and another request right below yours for a shadowdancer/ninja character and I think it wouldn't really take anything away from your concept to leave that out.
Like the previous post,if there is still room,I would love to join in.
I'll probably be playing a ninja/shadowdancer/assassin sort.
Well, you can never have too many ninjas...though I think we may be testing the limits of that.:)
Just be aware that there are several characters with similar ability sets.
Lynora, is there any chance I could get a Cash bonus instead? I'm thinking total: +5 Light fortification Shadow? The only +1s other than Light fortification in CRB and APG are Champion/DAstard, and neither of those is of any use.
Yeah, as long as the power level is equivalent to what I told you, I don't mind how you got there.
I think I'm finally done. If you want me to dial anything back, lemme know. I figured that a High strength wouldn't be too big of an issue, seeing as how he both has 3/4 BAB and uses a one-handed weapon.
I have a question why is Jim in quotes? Is it just a made up name is that why or other reason?
He calls himself Jim, but his given name is Rivets.
I just learned that Alchemists can already pick up Item Creation feats from this post, so I'm going to switch Master Craftsman out for something else.
Before I finalize my new feat choice, do you mind if, over time, I create some of the Eberron Homunculi? They're, at most, somewhere around CR 3 each, IIRC. I'm not really looking at the combat ones either. The ones I'm interested in making are Packmates and the Messengers.
Anyhoo...I'm still not entirely sure what ghul lord entails, but I don't see anything objectionable in the description, especially if it's mostly amounting to just adding some flavor to undead bloodline.
Next question. Were you hoping to bring this guy in as a teacher or a student?
Also, the whole being sealed in a crystal bubble thing reminds me of Avatar: the Last Airbender....this is not a complaint. Somehow AtLA references keep popping up in the game...:)
Lynora, please scratch this whole idea. I am sorry. I read background and this thread without reading gameplay. I am very engrossed in the gameplay thread and after finishing it, I would like to post another character idea as a student.
I really appreciate the open atmosphere here and as a person who has never PbP'd before, this seems like a great learning opportunity. But I would definitely want to bring in a character that would mesh well.
So, I will repost in a few days after I finish the gameplay thread.
Thanks!

I see him as a runaway from his family's roost. He did not care for the family business of larceny. Nor do "shinies" interest him. Ironically, he has been known to walk out of a store/library/map room with an erm "borrowed" scroll or book. But that is just different!
Focused mostly on research and knowledges, not very good with social interactions...just cuz beak is usually in a book.
Once again, barebones and may change entirely after I finish reading thread.
But seems a better fit so far.
Seems like this one would be a lot of fun. :)

Well ofcourse i can fit that in, instead of the rogue/antipaladin i was thinking of making him either a antipaladin/sorcerer, or maybe go for the rogue/antipaladin/assasin depending on what u guys think. Both would fit into the concept pretty well :)
This is going to be fun. But im a little busy untill 6 GMST today, as school dosnt end till then, chat u back tonight.

Since they're just low level helpers I don't see a problem with that.
Also I will look over your stats as soon as I can. Sorry for the delay. My internet crapped out last night.

Well, sounds like a cool concept there too. Very 'Read or Die'. :)
Just let me know when you're sure what you want to play.

Cool. Either of those other options works just fine. FYI, I may have RL gaming tonight (or not, the GM was feeling a bit iffy since he's fighting off a cold) so I may not be online this evening. But I'll get back to you on stuff tomorrow morning for sure if that's the case. :)

Okay, I know we're not voting or anything, but he just helped me solidify my idea for a badass bookworm character in an FF-world game that might be starting up soon...
*places vote in pretend ballot box*

Final Fantasy. If I can't be a Moogle Chocobo Knight, I'm probably going Red Mage.
I'm seriously thinking about writing up Skeeze, my goblin Squig Herder from the Warhammer MMO.
Talk about fun :P
Oh I know it's final fantasy I meant…I want to play a final fantasy game!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm………… damn………that is all movealong folks nothing to see here.
If any of you guys ever find yourselves in Omaha, I'd love to sit at a table with ya'll.
Alright, put those in too. Could you give me some advice on... introducing myself? They seem to be in the middle of some sort of action sequence right now.
I've placed a bit of a 'prologue' for Vai in the game thread. If it looks good to you I'll try to get you at least to the school, if not into the mix of things just yet. (^.^)
Where's Dennis when you need him?
Where's Dennis when you need him?
Currently? Unconscious. While his horns do make good weapons, that might not have been the best choice for how to 'use his head' . ;P
However his goblin associate, Chet, will be more than happy to calculate odds and take your bets until the boss wakes up. :)

Fantastic, to both responses. I'll post in the OOC thread, and I don't know when you want me introduced.
Oh,no,sorry.I want my guy basically to be an (elven) prodigy with scimitars;I also was wondering if I could use 3.5 classes.Also,what level do I start at? :3
He's going to be a scout,mainly.He believes that he can communicate with his blades,and is awe-inspiring to watch in combat.
This is a really complicated build;I want him to be a skillmonkey,but also be decent at combat.Depending on what level he's at,he's going to be a scout/dervish/tempest,possibly ranger if I have to start at a lower level.
Okay, so the level cap for students is 16, and most characters will fall in that 14-16 range with a definite skew towards the top of the range. :)
I have no problem with scout/dervish/tempest. 3.5 classes are fine, though obviously we're using mostly Pathfinder.
Also can you give me some idea of what sort of personality/background you had in mind?
Edit: Also, maybe he actually can communicate with his blades? Might be interesting if they had actual personalities. :)
Well, it's more of a high school than a university. So let's see...he remembers his past, or at least his childhood, and then there's this big gap in his memory and next thing he knows he's wandering around the forest with two magic sentient scimitars. Somehow he manages to survive on his own and learn swordplay, which has to be easier when the swords are your teachers.
So next time he has a run-in with civilization he ends up dueling some guy with too high an opinion of himself. I'm guessing your guy is pretty young and with that memory gap probably acts a little younger than he really is. So someone present at the duel knew about Avalon and sent your guy there, most likely to protect a naive young man from retaliation for what the other guy at least saw as a humiliating defeat.
I have that right?
As far as gear and gold go...it's a school so little to no magical gear. Basically you have your two magical sentient scimitars. Possibly one or two other items if you can give me a good in-character reason why you have them.
Alright then.
Can my magical sentient scimitars have the keen property?
After he defeated his opponent in the duel,he felt a knife cut him across his back.He gasped,and dropped to the ground.
Next thing he knew,he woke up in the university,with someone(the headmaster?) next to him,looking at him curiously.After a brief conversation,the headmaster gifts him with a mithral breastplate,saying this would be better for protection than simple leather armor.This is probably where he joins the university.
Is that good?
Ummm....no. It's a high school. It may seem like a small distinction, but really it makes a big difference in the environment and expectations.
Wearing armor in school is pretty unusual except in certain special situations.
However, there's no reason that he can't be given a mithral breastplate by his rescuer, who then sends him to the school as a safe place for someone like him to grow and learn. That way he has the armor for those times when he does need it. We'll play through your actual arrival to the school when you're introduced in the game thread. Also, adding in the detail of the other guy stabbing him in the back after losing is a nice touch. :)
And yes keen is fine.
URG,really sorry,haven't even been to high school yet so I don't know.I might say that a few times.
Cool.I guess I'll try to ease my way into gameplay soon now,I'm almost done with my character...unless you have a specific plan for how I fit into the current story.
Once you have your character done and your profile made, post it up here for me to review, and then we can work out your intro into the game over in the discussion thread. We have a lot of mid-term transfer students coming in so you won't be the only newbie. We'll do our best to make your transition as easy as possible. Since this is rules light, there's a heavy emphasis on roleplay and social interactions between characters. And there's lots of helpful people who can explain stuff to you if you don't understand how something works. :)
Urgh. ghost post. I think. I see one that should be there, but isn't. Anyways, I have my RL game tonight so I'll look it over in the morning.
