So I had an idea for a neat little PBP that's a bit of a deviation from the norm. Usually I see “no third party material” or, rarely, “third party on a case-by-case basis” in recruitment threads. I understand why, but I know part of it is a stigma/myth that surrounds third party material in many cases. So, yeah, this one is gonna allow a lot of third party material, just for the heck of it.
Ability Scores: 25 Point Buy. This is for fun, so why not, eh?
Hit Points: Max! This goes for any animal companions, mounts, etc, but not for anything you summon with Summon Nature's Ally, Summon Monster, or similar abilities.
Background Skills: These are just nice. We're using them. :)
Level and Starting Wealth: Level 2 and 2,000gp. You've some minor experiences(might have been adventuring, might not) and had a particularly reward venture or investment.
Alignment: Any. However, I don't want people making Chaotic Evil characters. I feel that can be... disruptive and fits villains better.
Magical Item Crafting: Yes, but you have to abide by the 2,000gp limit. In this way you can have items(most likely scrolls or potions, depending on your class/feats) your character made personally, but not enough to outshine the rest of the players.
Races: Paizo's races(ask for higher powered ones if you're interested), and then some 3rd party races. These include Saurians, Entobian, Zif, Oakling, Numistian, Muse, Mogogol, Boggle(no Arcane Craft feat. It's too easy to make the +5 meaningless), Dragonkin, Seedling, Lizardfolk, and Briarborn.
Classes: Dreamscarred Press Psionic classes, Swashbuckler, Warlock, Artisan, Spell-Less Ranger and it's variant Skin-Changer Ranger, Dragonrider, Magister, Scholar, and the wonderful Spheres of Power system, classes, and archetypes.
Traits: Two. You can take a drawback for an extra Trait. You can reflavor the fluff of traits and even the name as long as you link to the original.
Automatic Bonus Progression: You may use it if you want, but it is not required.
The Adventures: I'm thinking either Murder's Mark or Dragon's Demand. Thoughts for other low level adventures?
I'm down.
Hmm...have you seen ertw's beguiler conversion? Would that be playable? Or only actually published 3pp?

I don't care what we play. I just want to finally play my halfing warlord.
How about a Half-Giant Mystic from Path of War?
Then again, I would also be interested in the Spheres of Power if you would be willing to give me a little help understanding it...

I agree. Approved.

Sadly, while I am crazy I am not so crazy that I'd let in Path of War. I simply haven't looked at it at all.

I certainly can. It's quite easy.
Definitely going to build a Shifter for this. I love shapeshifters, and Shifter captures what I love about them best out of everything I've seen so far.

This sounds really cool. I was thinking of creating a A Mighty Godling . He would be a descendant of Ares, God of War and Strife, though the bloodline has been diminished due to him not being a direct descendant.
Though Ares isn't really a god of war, but rather things that follow war: violence and destruction, the loss of self-control, and the irrational pursuit of glory or revenge.
My character I have in mind would probably have a fiery temper, a big mouth, a drinking problem, a sucker for a pretty face, and a love to fight. Being stagnant before the adventure, he would jump at the first opportunity to show off his might and prowess.
ooh, very interesting. Soooo many options.
Oh, also, voting Dragon's Demand because I've done Murder's Mark.

Alright, I have looked over some of the classes and I really like the Warlock. However, I feel as if things are missing from it. Like the 1st level gives you two school abilities (Yay!) but only level 1, of course. And currently, there's only 1 level 1 ability (Y--what?).
There's a section where it says you don't have to take a lower power to get a higher power and it gives an example of acid dart. Acid dart is likely a 1st level power, but it doesn't exist. You also get another school ability at second level, but, again, you can't take anything but the 1 ability until 4th level. So, I believe the class is incomplete.
Edit: Acid dart is a cantrip, which, is what you would use your extra school abilities for. Solved.

WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTT? Path of War is the most requested third party stuff. How can you not let it in? All I need is the non-expanded stuff.
Classes:
Warlord
Disciplines:
Broken Blade Maneuvers
Golden Lion Maneuvers
Steel Serpent Maneuvers
Thrashing Dragon Maneuvers
Veiled Moon Maneuvers
Martal Traditions:
The Wayward Path
This is what I need.
I promise not to use it but yes, there is. Deadly Agility

Thank you sir. Now to pick a race...
Oh well. Dragonrider seems cool. I don't know what Dragon's Demand entails but it sounds like a good choice. Mind if alignment is wider than one step. The description of the steed mentions some dragons are forced into it. I was thinking of having a Choatic or Lawful Good on an ornery Black or Blue respectively. Have them bicker a lot outside of combat. If not I am fine with a metallic. Bronze are always fun.
At first I thought you allowed all third party, but that doesn't actually seem to be the case... I guess my PoW ideas are out of the window. Still, I gotta ask, because I got this crazy idea that I would probably never get to play otherwise, would you allow the Eldritch Godling? I'll understand if you don't though.
Im in dotting
DB3, I will try to look at the Spheres thing, but I have a family reunion this weekend, so hopefully you can be a little patient with me. :)
Thinking an incanter from SoP or maybe a hedgewitch.
Dotting. I am thinking SoP, not sure what base class or even what Spheres I will go with. There is so much in that system that i have wanted to try but havent had the opportunity.
at first thought, i am leaning towards the creation sphere since it seems fun, but then again i might have a go at Conjuration.

Hmm, So do I go Bloodrager, Mageknight, or Armorist?
oh, yes, DB3: what is your deadline for submissions?
I have an idea for a dragonkin warlock. Not the most original, but I love the Warlock. All the fun of magic with none of the bookkeeping.

precisely why i love me some Spheres of Power
I could probably get in on Spheres, but I just don't have the time for all the extra reading right now. Plus I already have a fair grasp of where Warlock would take me. I think it would be interesting to see how well I could use it for a melee character given the Dragonkin's Str boost.
Question for the DM:
Since the Dragonkin gives a bonus Cantrip with an elemental subtype to Arcane and Divine Casters, would you give the same to Warlock? Not that it much needs it given the elemental blast most take at lvl 1, but it could possibly come in handy.

So the large abilities before the talents are gained, in the spheres of power, when you acquire the sphere. Which costs a magic talent point. I think I'm getting the hang of this system and I'm pretty sure I'll have the fluffiest character.
I wonder if a character can have talents from as many spheres as they need or does it stop at a certain number?

in SoP, you can have as many spheres or talents as your class provides. if your class gives you 15, you can pick 15 spheres; you can pick 1 sphere and 14 talents; or you could pick any mixture thereof.
it's like choosing between being a specialist wizard or a generalist.
Magic here with a very basic character skeleton. Mostly backstory at this point.

So I learned that the spheres of power offer a Huge array of options, but I think I've done it. I'll have my character's backstory's rough draft done tomorrow sometime. I'll have you know, the rain comes.
Any chance the Masquerade Reveler barbarian archetype by Mark Seifter would be allowed?
