Improved Familiar: Fire Mephit, or an Imp.

Just as a note, Eidolons cannot wearing armor of any kind (unless TCG rules differently that is).

Armor Bonus: The number noted here is the eidolon's base total armor bonus. This bonus may be split between an armor bonus and a natural armor bonus, as decided by the summoner. This number is modified by the eidolon's base form and some options available through its evolution pool. An eidolon cannot wear armor of any kind, as the armor interferes with the summoner's connection to the eidolon.

Speaking as a DM with a summoner in his current campaign their AC can get ridiculous even without it though.

Oh. Hahaha totally overlooked that.

While a Fire Mephit could work eventually, I don't think that kind of familiar would actually suit Leander (and an imp absolutely doesn't). If he'd go that route at all he'd grab a small fire or magma elemental. I'd prefer sticking to a normal familiar though.

Work in progress... but starting to come together.

Just going to fill out my submission a little bit.

I decided against the pesh. Its a bit too dark for what I want. I will go with Noble Scion, with the free language Draconic and a +2 to a spellcraft check once per day and Athletic, with a +2 to climb and swim checks.

Alabaster Frostclaw- He comes from nobility in a nearby country, an aspiring house looking for political and military power. There are plenty within that family thinking he has what it takes to bring that about who would be disappointed if he does not. I'm still working on the exact build, but he will be a melee specialist. He will often act tougher than he is, but there is always that pressure from home to perform, to succeed and to bring honor to the family.

He will have platinum blonde hair and have a bit paled skin which will get paler as he gets levels in Dragon Disciple. He will be tall and lanky, not bulky, like a swimmer's build. In fact, he will be doing quite a bit of swimming to build endurance and strength. If we had a river, lake or even an actual pool nearby or in the school, he would be taking full advantage of that.

Leander might just end up learning Silence to get rid of the noise. He might also ignite the socks on your door.

I also have a question: I picked up a familiar through Arcane Heritage but I have a problem picking one. The best familiar for my character would be a Fire Salamander (wiki link), but there are no official stats for them. I have no idea which one to use though, if you're ok with that. Neither lizard nor toad has a bonus that fits the creature though (and both lack the toxic skin the creature has, which I think would effect people attacking it unarmed or with natural attacks, probably sickened for one round, like the Green Sting Scorpion's sting.)

Use the green scorpion stats, but it can be a lizard. Instead of a toxic sting perhaps it can excrete poisonous mucus if it wants. Does that fit what you want?

There's an aqueduct system in the city proper. You can use that like a river. Parts move very fast and other parts are slower. Feel free to use that.

Alabaster- White Dragon Sorcerer 1, Unarmed Fighter 4(in that order)

Yeah! That sounds great!

Sounds good to me, the poison basically is a self defense mechanism. The reason I want this critter is that in legend they lived in fire. Their legend is what the dnd salamander is based on.

and Natsu's nickname

Ahh, I see what you're going for now. How about this? Take a lizard familiar, give is fire resistance 10 and a mini breath weapon (1 foot cone of fire 1d3dmg) that recharges every 1d4 hours. If its covered in fire, such as lit a fireplace it can recharge its breath weapon as a swift action. Also it's skin glows like a candle when it's breath weapon is "charged."

Cute, right? :-)

And then the campaign gets banned from Paizo forums. LOL

Nah. :) Most stuff will just be implied and take place "off Camera". I've no desire to write a D&D version of 50 shades of grey.

Wow! Now that's a cute familiar for him

I rather have a flying blue cat :3

but I doubt I will have many unspent feats remaining to take something that allows familiars

original and interesting idea btw

There are wing feats in the Advanced Race guide. Feel free to use those.

None of those actually change his type to Dragon as do the feats in the 3.5 book. The wings are less important as wings, and more important as fitting his belief that he is a dragin trapped in a kobold's body.

Given how many people you have to try to choose from, and your apparent reluctance to allow the core ideas behind the concept, I will respectfully withdraw the kobold from consideration.

Happy gaming.

To you as well, Sir. :-)

This is hgsolo's ninja/sorcerer submission. I have most of the stats done, just didn't have time to put them on this profile before heading out for work.

BACKGROUND

PERSONALITY AND APPEARANCE

Edit* Going to take the persuasive and cosmopolitan feats as my "freebies" as well as the fetchling alternate racial trait that gives a bonus to knowledge local and nature instead of planes to represent Dash's travels with his family before joining the school.

I'm working on narrowing the list. It's really tough. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the really good concepts that have been brought forward. I hope to to come to a decision by tomorrow.

Good luck and no hard feelings either way. I don't envy having to make that decision!

And JUST lost a post I spent 20 minutes writing!
:(

I'll re-post after my karate class. ;P

I have the basic background/personality for you.

ANd good luck picking the students! I think your in for a good 'class' no matter who you pick! :)

And if My alchemist 'Laz' doesn't make the cut, please consider me for a backup slot. Thank you.

Will we have school uniforms or regular clothing?

And can we summon cute old gods?

It really had to make some hard decisions, but I have made the final selections.

Will the following characters please move to the DIscussion thread.

1) Mystery player (Dave)- TBD - magus (Reserved spot)
2) Joy - Circe Lavaush - Tiefling witch
3) Osterisk - TBD - Dragon Disciple
4) Monkeygod - Akydidyka Serrin de Aptal - Tattoo'd destined sorcerer
5) Mark Sweetman - Lorth - Dwarven Muggle punching bag with an attitude
6) Nysolo - Dasheel Kai - Fetchling Ninja/Sorcerer/ Arcane trickster in training

Thank everyone for your submissions. I appreciate your efforts. Good gaming.

Good gaming. Might lurk in there to see how it turns out.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Happy game all!
:)

Feel free to lurk ;-). If I get a better handle on Game mastering I may take on a few more players. I won't promise anything, but it's definitely a possibility in the future.

hm, the whole process took less than 2 days, including making the choice? damnit :(
Well, the alias for Merlaine is made so I will still lurk a bit

I have a lot of free time at work, but I'm limited to an iPad and s!~#ty AT&T service. I can think a lot, but my technical abilities are somewhat limited.

it wasn't an accusation or anything, I just got used to having atleast 4-6 days to flesh out the char and prepare the char sheet

Nice. Can't wait. Also, it's hgsolo. XP

Thank you TCG, I will indeed lurk. :)

If the opening concepts are any indication, It promises to be a lot if fun. And as I said, please consider me as an alternate if you do open it up for more, or (heaven forbid!) need replacements.

:)

Happy Game everyone!

Don't mind me
