Did I miss anyone?
I think someone asked about greataxes. Yes, they're fine they don't go against theme.
Tahei Asawa - Barbarian (Urban) 6 is ready with Background completed.
So I had a near death experience involving my family, the car, and airborne acrobatics. I'm alive, but not well, so it may be a day or two before I can post regularly. I'll give more details later. Car crushed on one side. Which happened to coincide with the side I was on. I'll keep an eye on here.
Ye gods, I hope and yours are ok.
take your time
All of a sudden, rolling a 2 is not the frustrating thing it was prior to reading your post TarkXT.
I echo chillblame, look to yourself and yours first, that's the most important thing.
Agreed. Geez... O_O
This can wait, you focus on the uncrushing process.
I wish you all the best in recovering from that experience.
Hope you and your family are/get well soon.
Character is taking longer than I thought. Hope to get it up tomorrow.
I know I've not submitted anything on here yet, but I'm sorry to here that TarkXT. I hope you make a swift recovery and that your family is alright.
Woah. Take care of you and your family TarkXT...
Two days left. I'm keeping my deadline here despite my injuries.
My final submission is ready, except for the basic clothes and such. All extra gold to go back into village, as I cannot accept it.
Due to his differences he was teased and bullied. He was punished where others were taught. It came as no surprise to them when he chose to leave his clan and find refuge elsewhere. Many were relieved.
As he visited other clans and even other races, he found the same prejudices against him and many would not even help him with food or shelter. It seemed likely he would not survive for long. At the point of exhaustion and near starvation, he collapsed on the road.
He awoke to the face of another odd Tengu, this one with almost silver grey feathers. This Tengu introduced himself as Kokuin, an adventurer and devotee of Hei Feng, the Duke of Thunder. He agreed to train Shogure in exchange for five years of service with his adventuring party.
So Shogure begun his training under Kokuin "the Swift", a master known for his insight and ability to respond quickly to problems that others don't detect. Kokuin was also known for his lightning beak and his unique swords that his wizard friend crafted.
When Shogure's training ended, Kokuin granted him one of his old swords, and told Shogure to work to perfect his unique talents and seek students of his own. Thus he began his journey, seeking out new experiences in places he had never been.

@Shogure - can you point me to the rules for adding skill bonuses to weapons?
- Also, per WBL guidelines, only 25% of your wealth can go on each category of weapons, armor or misc. magic items. Though TarkXT may be forgiving given the awesomeness/theme of the weapon and your vow of poverty.
Here. Remember that all abilities after the first (including making it magical) are at 1.5x the price.
I hope he is a little forgiving with the weapon. I don't really know what else to do with the money in my case.
Yup. I'm personally forgoing about 3k of my wealth as living (large) expenses and and gifts to character's parents over the years...
Here. Remember that all abilities after the first (including making it magical) are at 1.5x the price.
I'm not seeing the skill stuff on that page, nor the x1.5 stuff. Is my +1 merciful naginata not 4k (2k for +1, 2k for merciful)+ base cost of naginata? (apologies if I missed it, I'm on my "smartphone" so navigation is a little difficult...)...
It's on the table on that page. I think merciful is a separate cost ability, but it should be plus the cost of a masterwork naginata, not just a normal one.
+1 merciful naginata costs 8335gp. +1=2k, adding merciful (another +1 bonus) makes it an effective +2 weapon, raising the cost to 8k + masterwork + weapon cost
Ok thx all!
Will drop the merciful then. There go my aspirations of just beating the 100 bandits senseless rather than slaying them outright...
I guess this way I can still buy some other stuff...
I'm just not understanding the magic weapon creation stuff. Will reread entry in CRB in an attempt to wrap head around it (figuratively, not literally)...
I really like using PFSRD. Here's a link to the magic weapon entry.
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/magic-weapons
Yeah, I mostly use d20PFSRD. Not much help either on this issue - I do find the d20PFSRD a little hard to navigate - some of the linking methods are counter intuitive, at least for me. :)
So I'm guessing +2 armor is 4,000 + mwk + base price? Which will put it outside my 25% of WBL by the mwk and base... I guess I could give +1 each to my armor and buckler, and run the risk of losing the buckler's +1 when using my naginata. So, always... ;)
Updated Selena's profile with a backstory..
Sorry to hear about the wreck.. Hope everyone is ok..
I'm going to go ahead and back out of this one. My creative juices just didn't jive with this one unfortunately. Thanks for the opportunity though and good luck to the rest of you.

Hisui no Hane, as his name might suggest was born with black feathers that have a jade sheen to them. Upon his head he bears a birthmark that resembles a Jade moon. It was taken as a sign for him to serve in the temples of Tsukiyo, as the Jade moon is his holy symbol. He has trained many years to follow his teaching and also mastering the art of swordplay. After his training was completed he traveled the country, visiting many villages. Helping them with whatever problems they had and to show them that there is no reason to fear the dark, for when the light of Shizuru is not upon them, Tsukiyo shines in her stead.
Upon hearing the troubles ailing the small village of [insert name here], he took whatever supplies he could gather and traveled swiftly to come to their aid.
+1 (1000) mithral(4000) mountain pattern armor (250) = 5250gp 20 lbs
ring of sustenance (2500 GP) /
+1 (1000) MW(150) Living steel(100) Quickdraw Light Steel Shield (59) = 1309gp 7 lbs
Robe of infinte twine (1000 GP) 1 lb
Ring of protection +1 (1000 GP)
handy haversack (2000) 5 lb
+1 Katana (50GP + 300GP MW + 2000 GP) = 2350 GP 6 lbs
explorer’s outfit (free) 8 lbs
flint and steel 1gp /
grappling hook 1gp 4lb
Mirror,small steel 10gp .5lb
smoked goggles 10gp /
bedroll 1sp 5lb
signal whistle 8sp /
sewing needle 5sp /
4 bell’s 1 gp / (all with a different notes and stuffed with cloth to not make a sound when on the move)
belt pouch 1 gp .5lb
canteen 2 GP / 1 lb
potion of CLW 50 GP x 6 = 300 GP
260 GP 6 SP left
If possible he would gather what supplies he can in his handy haversack on the way to the little village.
I'm thinking food and other such things. I'm not certain what it would cost/weigh, but as you can see in the equipment list, he has 260 GP & 6 SP left. Just let me know how much of that can be converted into supplies he has with him (seeing as the haversack also has a limit)
Feedback is appreciated as always.
time's up. decisions soon.
Missed me on your list above.
I gotcha.
Sorry for the tardiness, got a bit ill.
Here's my submission, Hisui no Hane the Tengu Cleric of Tsukiyo.
** spoiler omitted **...
I like Hisu's coloration - black feathers with a jade sheen. Wonderful.
So was a decision made?
I'll put up my decision later tonight.
I'd like to see another splash of this type of campaign on the boards. My only hesitation with this one was the randomized levels.
Perhaps another time.
I wanted to make the actual range of experiences between the characters be mechanical.
It also challenged players a bit. Sure certain characters are going to be more powerful than others. But, they probably won't level and thus won't be able to grow organically to fit the game better.
I look at it like a good challenge.
It's certainly a challenge, but I'd consider it more of a challenge to the GM to present balanced encounters. It's a fun idea, but again, I'd be more inclined to join a more balanced table. Still, I love the setting.
Which is entirely possible even under these parameters. I just like the mechanics to better match the actual story. This isn't about 4 people randomly meeting in a tavern who happen to have complementary abilities. :)
But suit yourself.
Okie dokie here we go. Making announcements now while I'm still pleasantly buzzed on the painkillers the hospital gave me for my shoulder.
Daren Mott - Level 5
Tahei Asawa - Barbarian (Urban) 6

OOC is up for those who want to post in it (it has a bunch of other games too I like to keep them together). Gameplay will be up either in the morning or later. HAve to catch my other games up too.
Ok! Thanks for the heads up Tark. Enjoy the medicinal buzz….
That's only 5. The thread calls for 7.
The title calls for 7. I asked for 5. The other two are npc's who help get things moving along (an old paladin and his young disciple specifically).
As or everyone else I do appreciate your applications and ask that you not throw them away as I may call on you should one or more players drop. Thank you.
Thanks for the consideration.
Thanks for the consideration.
Whoops I actually did pick you I spelled the name wrong.
That's cool. I'm glad I'm in, then. I'm looking forward to it.
Will get my profile made later today. Currently stuck with an iPad :-)
Thanks for the opportunity. Good luck with the game. I think I'll lurk it to see how it goes.
Congratz to those who got in.
Good luck all!
