I would say "it's your money, spend it how you want" but just remember that Padded Armor only handles so much when you've got a +5 Dancing Keen Vorpal Ostritch Bane Punching Dagger of Bubblebaths to fend off enemies.
My advice: if it sounds like you've spent too much, you've spent too much.
I don't have much of a backstory written just yet, but here is Neeral, The Thrower, fishing enthusiast and tailor by trade, assuming Background Skills are okay. Someone mentioned them earlier but I didn't see any confirmation on the matter.
I'll have my character up tomorrow. SHO NUFF!

Kaven was born the 17th son of the Dragare Noble household. Like most noble sons in Cormyr who have no chance of inheriting anything, Kaven was equipped as a knight and sent into the world to "defeat evil". The first thing he did when he got to Suzail was to sell off the weapons and armor his parents gave him and use the money to get training as a professional singer.
It was during his training that he met Alyssa. She was beautiful, smart, witty, and strong. Kaven was in love.
After asking around about her, he found out that she was an adventurer. Determined to prove that he could be her equal (in order to woo her better), Kaven took up the study of the sword. He found that he had a deft hand, and so added the title of duelist to his growing list of skills. Satisfied with his training and believing himself to be invincible, he joined an adventuring company on a foray into a nearby dungeon. Like him, most of the young adventurers he worked with believed their skills to be equal to the task. They were wrong.
In one of the chambers deep inside, they found an orb of darkness. The paladin strode forth and attempted to smite it. His power was reflected back into his body, and he died. Moments later, his body began to move...and so did a great many other bodies, the sounds of their moans echoing off the walls. The rest of his group ran, but Kaven knew one thing for sure: You never turn your back on an enemy. So he began a slow, methodical, slog of a battle back towards the enterance of the dungeon. While he was able to kill a great deal of the mindless undead, the more intelligent ones simply passed him and entered the world.
Once he passed back outside, Kaven found a countryside ravaged by the angry dead. Though the army was destroyed thanks to the help of the Cormyrean army, Ultimately Kaven was held responsible as the sole survivor of the adventuring company. Exiled from his home, he now wanders the countryside as a mercenary, his desire to woo Alyssa subsumed by his shame.
ST Shadow's submission. Most of the gold is spent, if I can think of anything else I'll get it, if not I'll submit as is.
Final submission for Ariel the Swift:
Ariel was born in Waterdeep in a prosperous family. Her father, Linthariel Del’a’win, an exiled Moon Elf, was known for his wonderfull work as an alchemist and apothicary. It was a blessed time for Ariel’s parents, despite her mother difficulties to live in a city of Humans.
But things never stay the same, and sometimes one who was once happy can be broken. A few days before Ariel’s birth, her mother discovered that Linthariel did not only create remedies and potions, but also that he was a poison supplyer for the dread organization known as the Zentharim. When she confronted her husband about his shady buisness, Linthariel decided that it was indeed a good idea to stop his partenership with them.
But you don’t quit on the Zentharim. They warned Linthariel that there will be consequences. Exactly three weeks after Ariel’s birth, her mother was killed in the middle of the street by a powerful blast. Ariel have no memories at all of her.
This awful act broke Linthariel, and he quickly started to work for the Zentharim again, knowing that his daugther could be next. He tried in anyway he could to protect Ariel by marrying her as soon as possible, and making her stay away from his buisness. But the young Elf had a bright spirit, an inquisitive mind and good reflexes.
Ariel felt like she was trapped in a golden cage, and quickly learnt how to disapear at night from her bedroom. She red her father’s books, ran into the streets at night and even took swordplay lessons from one on the finest blade in the city. And as she grew older, she realized that she will never be free from her father’s good intentions and guilt. Once day, leaving a letter behind, she just did not come home.
If the first weeks on the road were difficult, she quickly enjoyed her new lifestyle. She worked as a mercenary, and then a private detective for a few nobles along the Sword Coast, from Luskan to Calimsham. It was during one of these mission that she encountered her companions.
Since then, it’s adventure time !

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Weapon Familiarity: Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word "elven" in its name as a martial weapon.
Silent Hunter: Elves with this racial trait reduce the penalty for using Stealth while moving by 5 and can make Stealth checks while running at a –20 penalty (this number includes the penalty reduction from this racial trait). This racial trait replaces elven magic.
Ceasless Observation: At 2nd level, an empiricist uses his Intelligence modif ier instead of the skill’s typical ability for all Disable Device, Perception, Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device checks. He can also use his Intelligence modifier instead of Charisma on any Diplomacy checks made to gather information. This ability replaces poison lore and poison resistance.
Alchemy: When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, an investigator gains a competence bonus equal to his class level on the skill check. In addition, an investigator can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions as if using detect magic. He must hold the potion for 1 round to attempt such a check.
Trapfinding: An investigator adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum 1). An investigator can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps.
Inspiration: As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill. Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator’s pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Investigator Talents: - Alchemist Discoveries (Infusion, Mutagen)

As part of an idea bouncing around, would you allow a Marksman with the Kaigun archetype? I'm thinking that blended with a Gunslinger (Musket Master).
Raised by the priests of Gond, he's taken to using his skills to protect others and show the usefulness of firearms. And, he's got a crate of firearms parts in the caravan for demonstrating and selling along the way.

So he has been hunter and scout for this new moving den.
Although he misses the swamps, he admits the armor he picked up recently is much nicer than anything back home. He is even beginning to believe some of these upright mammal things are almost like real people!?!
If chosen, will need to decide which other of the party he is following to discharge the life debt.
So so sorry about the absence. Work has been hectic and I've been trying to get some things figured out for the game.
I'll have some new info as well as a list of approved characters soon.
No problem, life can be hectic.
Is there still time for me to squeak a submission in if I do it tonight?

DESCRIPTION
A PFRPG character build.
When Phoebe's started showing the symptoms of bearing a dhampir she wasn't to surprised, as having been a vampire was the reason she met her husband, who as a longtime adventurer had been one from time to time. With the necessary preparations taken she gave birth to a beautiful if pale baby girl.
The dhampir girl grew up both in the villa in the city and the mansion in the countryside. Her mother taught her all the things a lady needs to know, her father on the other hand taught her many things he learned while adventuring.
When the rules and regulations of the courtly live started to suffocate her she decided, inspired by her father's stories, she decided to go on an adventure herself. Finding some boys to accompany her on the adventure proved to be trivial, but most of them decided after the first fight, that the live of a carpenter or smith or whatever wasn't so bad after all.
Travelling in this style Phoebe made her way to Waterdeep. Having enough of the live on the road she decided to settle down for a bit and instead of fighting monsters she decided to fight crime and injustice on the streets of Waterdeep, becoming a symbol of Fear, for the criminals to fear the night even more than the good citizens do because of them.
Quick question while I'm fleshing this out - I'm looking at making a Druid with the Eagle Shaman archetype. It calls out a number of domains I can take, but doesn't mention the Eagle Domain. Which seems silly. Is that a possible option? Or would I have to stick with Air, Animal, Nobility, or Weather?
The heavy lifting is done here. Just need to buy stuff and finalize things. Quick n' dirty background: I'm from Riatavin in Tethyr, a graduate of the College of the Eclipse, one of the preeminent organizations of mental magics.
Hia! Dotting and rolling :)
Lol dem stats :) Thats... a 10pb, with an 18 stat ^_^
So I am going to build a very sad character with everything else dumped. Should be fun!
So going through and trying to figure out what to play, something keeps getting stuck in my mind, and that is to create a stat-dumped Wizard who's goal is to collect "all the Knowledge in the world."
So I am going to be going with some iteration of that. Note; I have not played a Wizard before so I am bound to make mistakes and pick sub-optimal choices, oh well :)
I am also seriously considering going a Universalist Wizard despite it being a sub-optimal School but I want to be able to cast any of the spells I find so if I can, I don't want opposition schools.
Edit: May look into the Fire Elemental School for reasons below, and having a small, water-focused opposition school may be tolerable.
I also remembered I have an old character that I would like to adapt for this, the basic gist of it is that there was a Wizard once who wanted test subjects to take back to his lab and experiment on. One of those happened to be a goblin who was being used as a test subject for an Intelligence boosting concoction, with the reasoning "If this works on the most stupid of creatures then it should surely work on the rest".
Experiment succeeds, but the Wizard has gone missing. Goblin breaks out and finds himself in an abandoned Wizard tower with a new-found and insatiable desire for knowledge.
The first thing the goblin lost was his fear of words... The second thing he lost was a fair few books as he realized paper burns really, really easily....
A few years later and the goblin has learnt most of what he can from what books and tomes survived his own "experiments" in the Wizards tower and now he seeks to explore the outside world and learn about every bit of knowledge he can, and get his hands on as many spells as he can!
The original goblin was known as the Burning Intellect and he was a Goblin Mindchemist/Fire Bomber Alchemist with an intense love of both fire and knowledge, and an eternal problem of having to preserve his knowledge and precious books from the flames :p
Eventually he would have taken Eternal Potion with a potion of Elemental Body and turned into a full fledged elemental but he never got that far.
So with this character I intend on trying to preserve as much of the previous characters mannerisms and whatnot as I can, he will have a few fire based evocations and a lot of slots for other spells (no idea which ones right now :p) most likely aiming for more of a battlefield control and/or buffing role.
Since he has such a fascination with both fire and books he will then also have a very strong dilemma of utilizing fire while not destroying his beloved books. As such he is often searching out ways of preserving his writings and especially fire-proofing them.
He also is a collector of books, especially spellbooks and any other pieces of literature he can find.
He will also has a bat familiar with the Sage and Figment archetypes as he has this little menace that flits around his head that knows more then he does, and, in fact, does not actually exist :p
I am planning on giving him the Cypher Script and Fast Study feats, giving him a lot more focus on his spellbook and his ability to acquire more spells. And its mostly thematic :p while giving him a chunk of utility, being able to prepare a spell in 1 minute of preparation.
One of his biggest goals will be to get his hands on a Blessed Book asap, but he will probably craft a few scrolls along the way.
So with that in mind, I am going to start building up this character :)
Oh, I just thought of this;
Would I be able to use the Human's FCB despite being a goblin? It grants me +1 spell known in my spellbook, which fits the idea I have of him quite nicely. If not, I will just take +1 Skill Point and buy the extra spells known normally...
Ok, did this game start already and I am just not aware of it?
So far I am the only one to post in the last 3.5 days :/
I'm still working on my goblin Wizard, its just... Quiet. too quiet >_>

I'll leave my submission in but indeed a week's worth of silence from a poster with 25 total posts often does not bode well...
Let's hope I'm wrong! :-)
I think I am going to withdraw as well. The GM hasn't made a post on the Paizo site since the 12th.
