Hello All, going to give running this game another go, this time better prepared. I am looking for 4-6 interested people for a series of old reskinned modules set loosely around the Kalistocracy of Druma. You are a mercenary and pledge member of the Silver Shields led by the Valiant halfling paladin Colewin Binderbook. (nearing middle age dirty blond haired paladin of Abadar)
He gets contracts, he doles them out to teams chosen to take care of the contract. Each member has their own reasons for working for the halfling, most of them have a personal link to the little man, as those seeking just pure wealth find themselves pushed into more annoying or rougher missions until they leave and seek greener pastures. He doesnt accept every contract either. So far no rhyme or reason seems to appear to which ones make the cut to be posted on the job board, and no alterior motives seem to be in play. . .
Charector creation -
Level 1 charectors -
HP:: is max at level 1, as you level its 1/2+1+con bonus or your roll whichever is higher. 2 trait unless you choose to take a drawback, then you may take 1 more.
CLasses:: Core,Base,Hybrid
Races allowed - Core and Featured races preferred if you have something more exotic ask away I wont promise a yes answer but I will think about it. :)
Stats - Stats will done this way.
Chose two main stats, two normal stats, and two sub stats.
Main and normal stats start at 10, sub stats start at 14
For your main stats roll and add 2d4.
For your Normal stats +1d6.
for your Sub stats - Subtract 1d6.
So in example Our Heroine Dharkhantia chooses as her main stats DEX and STR Her Normal stats as CON and WIS, and her Sub stats as INT and CHR
so
Str: 10 + 2d4 ⇒ 10 + (4, 1) = 15
Dex: 10 + 2d4 ⇒ 10 + (3, 1) = 14
Con: 10 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + (6) = 16
Int: 14 - 1d6 ⇒ 14 - (4) = 10
Wis: 10 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + (3) = 13
Chr: 14 - 1d6 ⇒ 14 - (2) = 12
Then add your racials. If for whatever reason you absolutely hate your rolls you may try a second time and keep the one you like.
Wealth Starting Wealth will be max.
When you are finished with your charector Feel free to post in the recruitment an intro post at the Silver Chalice tavern. A background story on how you met Colewin (or one of the other listed NPC's) is nice, as well as why you want to be a Silver Shield.
Posting Rate - I would like to shoot for at least once a day, but sometimes life happens.
will have choices for players by september 1st
Dot. Will have a look later
Kobolds paladin. Silver champion
GM: can I be wayvaren?
Interested. So Gunslinger is allowed? Will pick class after rolls.
I can definitely work with that!
Seth86 - I love me some Kobolds! Just make sure you have a good reason to be a hero! (oh and make sure you speak common :P it will help)
And no for now on the Wyvaren early flying is way too OP, that being said dont be surprised if you really want the ability to sprout wings later in life
Mark Thomas 66 - Hello my friend! Gunslingers are indeed in play, Are you going with an archtype? IM pretty liberal on crafting things, cant wait to see what you come up with (man good rolls on your average stats by the way!)
Okidoki. Kobolds paladin it will be
Okidoki. Kobolds paladin it will be
Im quite okay with Alternate racial traits as well for your kobold
Thanks =^^=
Will have a look see at options.
The 2 will be quite a duo... when he gets his companion
most of them mention chromatic heritages feel free to swap that to metallic is you want as well.
Well. I'm actually thinking of going with a chromatic heritage. Makes Rp more fun once you realise the little sneak is actually a Paladin of Apsu
I prefer a reroll. But will stick with first set if GM feels I should
dex
cha
con
str
int
wis
Thats fine too! Since you are making a paladin (I promise i wont be that DM I love paladins) make sure to have a little write up on your code and tenets I have an example if you like. If you want a be a bit sly on your paladin hood as long as you follow the code i'll allow it.
The reroll is fine :) Look forward to seeing what you make :)
An undead blooded dhampir sorceror? Oh my sounds fun! go for it! Im fine with Lawful Evil by the way, just expect a cross eye a time or two from Mercenary group's founder.
Big old dot. Will work on this at work after I sort though my ideas. :)

I expect that but it'll be part of the fun playing a necromatic sorcerer around a groups of paladins and other people like them. I need a really good bluff
Sounds Awesome I look forwad to seeing what you come up with :)

Well Colewin was my old Living Greyhawk charector, hes very liberal on rules. He was a paladin of Justice back in 3rd ed where you could be a paladin of Ideals as well. He may or may not have brokered a deal with an evil tyrant to capture an evil cult leader. . . . That whole you can work with bad as long as its for a short period of time and its for the greater good sort of thing.
SO as long as you are behaving and following the rules I cant see how they could get that cross :P
My paladin will be a bit different than most. Be good guy. And we will get along. Just because you have an evil aura doesn't mean you can't be a nice person. Heck. He's a kobold :P
He's use to folks being nasty or evil. But common courtesy and having some form of manners can go a long way. But if you just outright murder or the sort. Then things may get ugly
I can just see the little guy wagging his finger at his larger companions
"Tsk tsk tsk. That wasn't very nice, Now was it? Go apologise"

That would help her character development to see if she ends up swifting alignment along the way towards the Lawful neutral or embrace her natural cruelty.
16, 16, 15, 14, 12, 9
Last one should be 13 =^^=
2 trait unless you choose to take a drawback, then you may take 1 more.
I'm wavering between standard, pistolero and mysterious stranger
|
Literally the opposite.
sigh trying again
Ahh the old 32 point buy a staple of pathfinger rng.
Because it would be disgusting if I added to these numbers (looking at you Samsarans)and the general misfit races I am gonna try a hobgoblin Thurge. Unless this game isn't going to thurge levels then just a really smart cleric.
Alright, I'll post in for the stat generation alone, since this seems interesting. In terms of an actual character, I'm thinking something on the sneakier side--maybe a rogue, slayer, or ninja if that's acceptable? Or perhaps an archetype for something else.
Hmm.... Not bad, but I'd really prefer something higher with my main scores.
Alright, I think I'll work with this, although maybe I'll take the first if I go halfling.

So hi Walter again, I finished his backstory and he decided to start off as a wizard rather than a cleric. Crunch to follow soonish.
Last one should be 13 =^^=
Well if you insist on doing it the "correct way"
16, 16, 14, 13, 12, 9
As Seth86 said, yes to a third trait of a drawback is taken.
Ah cool, mysterious stranger and pistolero are the only ones I've seen to be honest cool cool.
Looking forward to what you have in mind daniel Stewart
I love halflings Tywynn, although the last two rolls should be 14s - 1d6. So an 11 and a 12. If you want to keep the 7 amd 8 though thats fine.
I have like 210 modules to sift through walter lindie so certainly enough levels to get a proper theurge on.
Glad to have piqued your interest Loup Blanc. If you can give me a half decent reason in your background as to why your a halfling ninja in Druma im game. :) There is nothing wrong with sneak.
Yeah sorry Kevin O rourke although you can do a reroll and choose between the two?

Crunch in the profile and intro story below.
Shortly after committing justifiable murder and abandoning his homeland Throg struck out on his own he tried to get away from the probable issues caused by his actions. Having his studies discovered by someone who would be missed in the tribe in short order caused him to fall back on plan F, take his 'wages' from the tribe and run to the Neutral city of Durma a place where the only color that matters is gold. A mixed blessing was that by heading toward Kyoion land of the elves where a posse coming after him would have a high chance of being wiped out by the rangers that patrolled the border. The mixed part came in because he has ignored his lessons on forest survival so he also had a good chance to end up just as dead as anyone after him even if it was from eating the wrong mushroom rather than an elven arrow.
It went much better than expected with him carefully skirting the border of Kyoion and the Five Kings Mountains. He was so proud of this instead of continuing his current plan, since going around the Tanglebrier would add a week of danger to his trip, he decided to take the pass between the mountain ranges northern area and center range. No longer having the simple task of keep the mountains on your left he proceeded to get hopelessly lost for days eventually ending up back on the Kyoion side of the border. Enraged he screamed his problems at the mountains at the top of his lungs. After calming down he heard a voice behind him slowly drawl out you done now kid in common with a clear elvish accent and the sound of a bow slowly being drawn.
"I surrender" and immediately fell to my knees as i turned around and saw 3 people. The Elf, a Halfling, and a Human with a clearly displayed holy symbol. "Don't kill me I THROW MYSELF ON THE MERCY OF ...Abadar.?" "why shouldn't we kill you Hobgoblin" the elf says "you are trespassing in Kyoion and a Hobgoblin killing you would be fine." "I want to use arcane magic and if I still lived there they would kill me but I thought if I went to Druma it would be ok also turning to the halfling and human if you are mercenaries can I pay you to take me to Druma and protect me." the human and elf starts to speak but the halfing waves them silent "Sure you can it will cost you everything you have plus a little interest." as light covers me and the Keys of Abadar appears over my head. "tell me everything but if you lie ... well don't lie" After spouting my life story he pulls the others a little away and talks to them before agreeing to take me to the city. As we traveled I talked with the Halfling and learned about the Silver Shields.
After we got there I realized I was poor in Druma and asked to join his organization. He and the others were leery but the elf smiled and suggested I be tossed in with 'that' group. This made me want to leave but deciding a little danger was better than starving I stuck to my work.
I was going to say the same thing throg said. :)
I wanted to ask I know paizo some years ago changed the starting age of the native outsiders to follow the human age progression for some reason.
But for now my idea looks like this.
Edit: I might have to readjust her background a little to account for the high age of Dhampir I thought they were along the line of humans when they were adults and just lived alot longer.
Dotting in.
I'm thinking sorcerer.
Greetings and Salutation my esteemed companions. I hope we will be able to travel and explore together

Well, well, well, look who's finally back from the pdp void. Good to see you back in action Nines. Do previous players get a leg up? I'd like to bring Hanz back if I can. Or roll up another. I am flexible.

** spoiler omitted **...
The orc hornbow is fine but i believe its a 1d8 damage for small sized.
Other than that looks good :)

Ok was thinking of a thurge, but I see someone else is going that route, so I don't want to step on toes...lol
Might make a ranger going arcane archer....looks like we have lots of magic people already..or maybe a rogue?? Will need to give this a bit more thought!
Make whatever you want :) Ive played in games with 3 orc fighters a barbarian and a bard. MY favorite game i was ever involved in had five clerics of different gods.
As long as its not like 5 sorcerors all focused on enchantment spells (or the like) Im sure we can manage to have fun :)
Unlearned is at the bottom I believe. Was using Herolab. I guess it didn't size it down. The weapon. No worries
found it thanks !
