Hello Paizo boards!
My party has recently completed the first chapter of the Jade Regent adventure path, and is in need of a new party member: specifically, a dedicated Divine Caster!
Our current roster is as follows:
--Friday Daud: a human ranger (yojimbo; it's a 3rd-party archetype) (Campaign Trait: Childhood Crush *Ameiko*)
--Kavell Speranta: an aasimar paladin of Shelyn (Hospitaller archetype) (Campaign Trait: Friend of the Family *Koya*)
--Haru Yoshioka: a kitsune bard (Campaign Trait: Student Survivalist *Shalelu*)
--Valeria Skendar: a tiefling arcanist (Campaign Trait: Childhood Crush *Ameiko*)
What are the character creation guidelines for this?
--20 pt buy, and a 4th-level PC!
--Average wealth for a 4th-level PC!
--Race: Any race at 15 RP or less!
--Classes: Any Divine Caster!
--Alignments: Non-evil greatly preferred.
--Traits: 2 traits, one of which must be a campaign trait. A drawback is allowed for a 3rd trait.
Recruitment will stay open until Saturday, Sep. 17th.
Dotting for interest. Will probably be submitting a NG human Oracle with the Childhood Crush: Shalelu campaign trait.

I think I have to bite on this, since I have a super flavorful level 4 PFS Bones Oracle (this character) I really love and would convert to use here.
Though she is a Bones Oracle, the favored class bonus for humans would let me know a huge variety of spells, including healing spells (I would change a few out for this campaign before starting).
For a taste of how she would roleplay, feel free to check out her Campaigns tab, especially Snows of Summer at the bottom. Except for a few tweaks, she's ready to roll.
I should have a pitch for a Nature Shaman with ties to Shalelu later this evening, Friday mentioned you were looking for a divine caster.

Posting interest, with a slightly different idea than most of your other party members.
I had a Old Aasimar who fell in love with Koya when she was a child, and who stumbled upon her years later- Today. And now he wishes to dance with ehr once again.
Mechanically, he was a Bard, but an Evangelist Cleric would probably work. Either a Cleric or an Oracle. Or, if permmited, maybe a Priest.
Does the character with the trait for Shaelu have any intention of romancing her? I could see making a character with Childhood Crush towards her be conflicting.
If there is no conflict I might be making a character Crushing towards her, otherwise I'll probably submit someone Crushing on Sandru.
I've been thinking to try a shaman. This seeks like it could work great for it. Though I hear the lure of the Heaven's call on me for an oracle as well.
About Shalelu: yes, the character in our party with the Shalelu-related campaign trait is intent on romancing her.
Would yall be alright with another kitsune in the group?
I could do a kitsune oracle of Daikitsu who once worked as a caravan guard and has a bit of a crush on Sandru.
Sure, I'd be fine with a second kitsune.
Sweet!
Are y'all using background skills?
Unfortunately, no. The campaign was conceived before Pathfinder Unchained even came out.

Okay. So is anyone romancing Sandru?

Not to my knowledge.

This is Phillip0614, posting from the alias of my submission, Gideon Derexhi. Fluff for the build is completed but I wanted to ask how you're generating HP for levels 2-4 and also if you've a preference for how much a single piece of gear is worth in that 6,000. I'm not wanting to spend all of it on a single item, of course, just wanna make sure I don't accidentally spend too much on something. I'll be able to finish the crunch once I've done gear and HP. Thank you!
I think I might do a tengu oracle who has a childhood crush on Sandru. She's shy and has abandonment issues and comes from a broken home. Never done a character like this before but it's something I was interested in doing.
Not to my knowledge.
Lonely Sandru is lonely. :(
Regarding HP and Gear: Max HP at Level 1, then 1/2 + CON + 1 for each level up.
Preferably no single piece of gear over 2,000 GP in worth.
Would you and your players be okay and comfortable with a cleric of Arshea?
I'd be fine with it if the other players are.
I would be.
Cool. I'm torn between doing a kitsune lunar oracle/lotus geisha of Daikitsu and a female tengu cleric of Arshea.
:(
Either would make excellent healers for the group. Too bad I can't submit two characters.
:(
Actually, just realized this would be the sixth game for me and I have a policy of never applying for/being in more than five games at one time...my fiance wouldn't appreciate the gaming taking the time away from her. Therefore, as quickly as I put my application in, I'm going to bow out of this one. Good luck to you all!
Dot. I think I have a human cleric in mind...
Would a druid be okay?
A druid would be okay, certainly.
Thanks. My idea is as follows:
Half-elf druid, sibling Shelelu (elf Ranger). Both nature inclined but younger sister, Zartana, had a different view. I will expand when I get home.
Working on a Shaman with Nature spirit right now, foster child to Koya, most likely familiar with Shalelu as well.
So here she is, Zartana, younger sister of Shalelu

I'm dotting for interest. I have never gotten to play in a play by post, and would like to get a feel for it before I run one myself. I am thinking a Tengu cleric of Eristil.
I would like to submit my Kobold Oracle who was Rescued by Shalelu.
Hmm... I may apply to this. I do have a concept. Although, I do have a question before working on it.
I'm thinking of a half-orc cleric of Desna. My concept is a higher ranking member of a branch of the church who wanders the Path, pretending to be a regular priest and sending out subtle reports to the church. One of the roles he would fill would be of a party face. My question is (and I asked this in a thread on the advice forum) can the cardinal archetype be combined with the varisian pilgrim archetype? As for the campaign trait, I'm thinking of Foster Child.
Character in progress Nature Shaman, Foster Child to Koya (so little sister to Sandru) and likely friends with Shalelu given the focus on nature.

Haruki was born in a small village on the outskirts of Sandpoint. His human mother and Orc father were simple farmers. One day a goblin raid fell upon the village and left both of his parents dead but not before hiding their baby. Having heard of raids a group from Sandpoint had show up lead by Ameiko Kaijitsu. They were too late to stop the raid but tended to the wounded survivors. Fate intervened as Ameiko herself found the little half orc baby. She took him home and presented him to her mother and father Atsuii, and Lonjiku. The family had means and took on the burden of a third child.
They named him Haruki for he brought new light to the family. Time passed and Ameiko became a successful adventurer. She was close with Tsuto and Haruki as well as he looked up to her. Haruki followed in Ameiko’s footsteps. He too became and adventurer. He was recruited by the Pathfinder Society for his skill with a blade. After Ameiko had the fight with Tsuto and he struck her causing her to leave, Haruk did so as well spending the year working with the Society until they both came back home for Atsuii’s funeral. Ameiko and Haruki became close again and he would help out at he Rusty Dragon when not out on an assignment from the Society. Some more time passed and Haruki returned one day to find Ameiko had left for an adventure. A new group in town had talked her into exploring Brinewall Castle. Haruki was intrigued having never adventured with his big sister. He himself set out with his trusty 4 legged friend Akamaru and headed to Brinewall hoping to find and catch up with the group.
So about me as a player. I am very active. I post 10+ times a day if games are all moving. I have a game that is 3years old, a 2year old one and some newer ones. I am in for the long haul and will not abandon the game unless some life changing thing happens.
On purchases: So if you go by Automatic Bonus progressing a 4th level character would have +1 weapon and Armor. Any +1 weapon will be over the 2000gp cap you wanted. I went with +1 Weapon and Armor. Let me know if you prefer them not to be at this time. I can spend the money else where if you wish. Thanks for the consideration. :) Will make alias if selected.
Alright--thanks for pointing that error out.
GP limit for purchases is raised to no more than 2,500 GP per item.
Dang. I'm still working on my kitsune oracle. Stats are all done but I'm still working on the background. I'm hoping I'll make it by the deadline but it's starting that I'm not going to make it. :(
I most likely will be able to post it all really late tonight possibly after midnight. Sorry about that.

Thanks. But I'd rather play by the rules. And, as I've been told, those archetypes can't work together. One person said they'd allow it in a home game, but I'd rather be fair to everyone else. I'm going to make a half-orc varisian pilgrim cleric of Desna. I'll just have some options that'll make my character more interesting.
Fair enough.
Forgot to add in Haruki's luck bonus to saves: Saves should be: F:+8 R:+4 W:+9
Here is my submission, Ausk Mvashti. I have the build. I'm going to work on my background and get it up. The short version of his background is that Ausk is the adopted son of Koya, who left Sandpoint to one of the bigger Desna temples. He eventually climbed the ranks of the church and became a high ranking member of the church, as well as a field agent. He travels around, spreading the word of Desna, doing his duties, gathering information, and making secret reports to the church. He pretends to be a wandering priest to keep his actions undercover.

Everything should be ready to go. This is SCKnightHero1 here. Since PcGen doesn't have Dirty Tricks Toolbox in its sources library, I had to figure out how the Wrecking Mysticism benefit of getting additional Magical Tail feats. I hope it is right. If not let me know and I'm sorry I'm late posting.
I present my nature shaman (this is Mark btw). Full character sheet is in my profile.
Description
Kasha Mvashti
A vibrant young woman in excellent physical condition, Kasha radiates a wild primal bond with the natural world immediately striking people as being somehow....."more alive" than everyone else around her. Her skin, clearly touched by the sun, carries a healthy glow, her hair wild and untamed, carries a tinge of green among its rich earthy tones, eyes glimmer like emeralds, holding a wisdom that belies her age. The scent of leaves and wildflowers wafts around her constantly, while her laughter reminds one of a babbling brook. Markings and tattoos decorate her skin, adding to the aura of natural wildness that emanates form the young shamaness.
Found abandoned at the age of 5 by Sandru, and brought to his adoptive mother Koya Mvashti, the little girl had no one, lacking even a memory of where she came from. Though if an orphan were to end up somewhere, the home of the Varisian fortune teller was as good a place as any. Growing up, Kasha didn't want for much. A loving mother, a responsible and protective older brother, she was loved and cared for, educated better than most children in the town of Sandpoint, not just in sums and writing but the natural world, the stars, the land, all of it.
As she grew she developed a wanderlust, in part due to Sandru's adventuring with his best friend Ameiko, her mothers tales of the open road and her own pull towards the wide open natural spaces. Encouraged to follow her heart, she took to occasionally travel the surrounding areas, occasionally accompanying the elven ranger Shalelu from whom she learned quite a bit, but often on her own learning the best way possible...through experience.
After her grandmother Niska's death she felt the need to take another sojourn into the wilds, yet her trip was a shorter one this time, worried about Koya's melancholy after mourning. Her surprise at finding that she had gone with Sandru's caravan to explore some detail of Ameiko's past has drawn both her concern and curiosity, leaving her eagerly awaiting their return.
Ironically her background as Koya's adoptive daughter and her ties to nature connect her to all 4 major NPC's as Sandru's little sister (often trying to tag along on his and Ameiko's youthful adventures), and her extended time in the wilds have resulted in the occasional encounter with Shalelu.
Sadly Sandru once again gets no love, and she'd got no options for love interests without stepping on somebodies toes, though I'm sure if chosen there would be other notable NPC's somewhere down the line.

More than likely; the guys are already romancing NPCs outside of the main four.

He'll probably have to, at this rate. XD
Anyways, recruitment is now officially closed. I'll poll the other players to see who they'd like to have along, and I should have results for you by this afternoon.
