Pathfinders,
Title: There Once Was a Man from Narikopolus
Intro:
I am looking to run a play by post quest for 5 players. I am new to PBP but in looking through a few forums I like the format and would like to try it out. This quest is one I ran in person and would like to try in a more RP driven environment. I am leaving recruitment open through Monday 6/10.
The quest:
The hook will come in quest but I can still describe the setting. This quest plays upon the House Politics structure of Cheliax and is based in the capital of Egorian. It is meant to be an RP-heavy quest with character driven direction. Though, if it dissolves into consistent hack-and-slash hopefully that part can be fun too.
Political Structure:
Cheliax is run on a House Politics system. Thrune is the current ruling house and has been for the past seventy-two years without challenge. Thrune encourages fighting for power among the houses but intercedes strongly if it feels any house is getting too strong. Many of the citizens of Cheliax feel oppressed under Thrune’s rule. House Descriptions are listed below in order of power (following Thrune):
House Charthagnion – This house looks beyond the material plane in search of power.
House Henderthane – This house is the military strength of Cheliax. Henderthane is the main weapon supplier of House Thrune.
House Jeggare – The wealthiest of Cheliax and most of Avistan belong to House Jeggare.
House Leroung – Leroung is renowned for their vast knowledge and arcane ability.
House Narikopolus – It is said that members of Narikopolus spend all their time in political maneuvers and archery practice. Given that they are the second-least powerful house, it is a good thing they can hit a bullseye consistently.
House Sarini – A house of jesters and fools that is firmly positioned under Thrune’s foot. While Thrune encourages the houses to fight for power among themselves, Thrune quickly squashes any maneuvering by Sarini.
House Arionne does not exist in my Cheliax. The Pathfinder wikia provides additional information that, outside of anything noted already, is largely unchanged in my Cheliax.
Character Options:
Basics: Characters start at level 5. Starting wealth and equipment will be described later in the process. Characters can start with zero-two character appropriate Pathfinder official traits.
Acceptable races- Core Races, Tiefling (almost always slaves or servants in my Cheliax), Lyncanthrope (natural-born or afflicted), Vampire or Dhampir. I’d prefer to not have only 1 or 2 non-core races.
Acceptable classes: All official pathfinder classes and archetypes are allowed. My Cheliax is in an emerging firearms state.
Alignments: All alignments are allowed. Cheliax is Lawful Evil.
Attributes: Attributes are roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die roll. Players can roll 3 sets and choose whichever set they like. Or choose the first one if you like to live on the edge.
Profession: All Egorian characters should have a profession.
Backgrounds: I am more worried about character types (examples below) and purposes (ie a religious zealot dedicated to denouncing the evils of Cheliax) than background. Backgrounds must be appropriate (ie a good reason to be a gunslinger) and MUST include a reason/desire to change/affect/overthrow/reform the current government. (ie a former slave who endured the brutal treatment of Thrune and Sarini)
If you are a resident of Cheliax, you can be and are encouraged to be a member of the appropriate House (ie Bards would be in Sarini, fighters would be in Henderthane, anyone can be in Jeggare). Characters will get appropriate bonuses based on their House Affiliation (or non-affiliation). Bonuses will be similar to a trait (ie House Jeggare characters will get additional starting wealth).
Characters type examples:
Simple: Prototype Halfling Rogue 5
Feature Based: Super-Fast Elf Monk 5
Interesting combat style: Teleportation School Elf Wizard 4/Barbarian 1
RP-Driven: An ancient storytelling Elf Wizard 5 with a Pomeranian pet who he believes is his fox familiar
Play style:
I work during the day but will be able to post at least on a nightly basis. I will also set one night every week (Mon-Thur) that I will devote to Game Mastering (probably 7pm -10pm).
Looks like I will go with the first set which will be 17, 10, 14, 11, 13, 7, should be interesting. Will work on updating character tonight or tomorrow.
Vince. Human legalistic cursed battle mystery oracle. Two weapon melee. Due to some awkward manuvering within the circles of hell and an incidental promise to a lady, am now cursed to bring down House Thrune.

Traits Bully and Peace-Maker
Molos Tavark is a tiefling who while born in Cheliax has been abroad for well over twenty years and has only been back for about two years. His training as a enchanter has granted himself considerable power and protection. As the hellknights no that an enchanter is one of the few beings capable of getting the truth out of someone with ease. In exchange for this service the hellknights will perform certain favors and pay for his flat.
One cleric of Asmodeus wanted him dead and sent in assassins, the assassins however were hardly worthy of the title.
By the time he was done interrogating his would be killers Molos had already concocted a suitable plan of action. For the foolish cleric had many beneath him who dearly wanted to take his place, he thus fed the details of the assassination to Valin Dral who then sent in the hellknights after his master. For the one true rule of Cheliax is this, as long as no one knows who did it you can get away with anything. If they do know it was you however things become ugly as the hellknights know no mercy.
Molos serves as an information broker and is valued in that role by many, as few can contest his ability to find information and put it to work. His ultimate goal is to achieve political mastery over Cheliax, however he does not intend to rule personally a puppet is what he intends to install on the Throne to act as his proxy. Many clerics of Asmodeus know of him and regard him with both hate and caution.
For on one Molos is a tiefling with power something all Cheliaxians detest. On the other hand he has the protection of the hellknights who would be loath to lose a resource that has allowed them to get the truth out of their subjects without years of torture. It is a difficult balancing act, but one that Molos is adept at.

Should I keep them, avg health (4 on an 8)?
Guess I'll take set one, which would give me 13, 16, 14, 14, 12, 14. I like the sound of that. Repurposing a character/base I had in a previous game that lack of internet for an extended period kind of got me booted from. I can promise that the situation is far more stable now, so that is no longer a concern.
Arianna Ddraig is a Draconic Bloodline sorceror/Dragon Disciple obsessed with amassing magical knowledge and the belief that mages should be the ones to rule.
Unlike her father, her draconic abilities manifested, but with it came a change to her physical appearance. As she further embraces into her heritage and grows in power, she will look more and more dragon-like. To a lesser degree, her mother's Arcane bloodline is also apparent (as represented through the Eldritch Heritage feat tree), and she has a raven familliar named Tamerlane.
While Lawful Evil, she does relish in combat in ways that the lawful often do not. To her, there is something cathartic about setting somebody alight or slashing them to pieces with her claws. She enjoys the sight of blood dripping from her hands after a fight, and should not be presented with opportunities for sadism.
Her primary reason for seeking a chance in the rulers is for her mageocracy to come. She doesn't necessarily feel she should be the one at the top of it, but seeing herself as one of the most powerful and being in charge of magical discovery and research, she would be very highly-positioned in that sense.

They will have a level adjustment. When I ran this before there was not one and the werewolf was a little overpowered. It will not be much of an adjustment so don't let that scare you away from playing one. I will set specifics after recruitment.

Pellious Leroung is another son of the Leroungs, a house with a long and well-earned tradition for scholarly pursuits. As such, he spent his youth and much of his adult life amassing knowledge. He has a deep-rooted and long-running obsession with Ancient Osirion artifacts, as well as the history of that empire, and has spent several years in Osirion and Thuvia on excavations and digs. As such, he has strong ties to the Pathfinder society, though not a member.
Pellious is invested in the current structure of Chellaxian society, and very much enjoys the status of his household. However, the iron hand of house Thrune chafes, and he would not count himself as a supporter of their style of rule.
Class: Wizard
Alignment: Lawful Evil (Or neutral)

Looks like set#2 is doing well for everybody haha. I might throw together a LG Cleric of the Empyreal Lord Winlas, who has come to Cheliax to learn the teachings and traditions of Asmodeus. Not sure on race yet.
Okay, Day 1 Recap:
In the quest:
Soldier-1st Human Oracle (Battle/Legalistic)
Full disclosure, I know Soldier-1st and told him he could be in the quest before I posted it. Although, his character is going to be a lot of fun.
Under Consideration
Monroe Sanders: Human Gunslinger
Browman: Something Inquisitor
hustonj: Summoner
Narian, son of Ellor: Elven Magus
Viluki: Tiefling Wizard (Enchantment)
-Review: The Story/Goals look good. You are onto the right idea with how to integrate a character into your quest. Thought at first you were playing Viandar. Would have been very fun to have a master of lies and a legalistic cursed oracle.
Alsar Lysaradis: Samsaran Witch
-Review: I wasn't going to allow Samsarans but this character background is good enough allow it for consideration
Arianna Ddraig: Human Sorceror (Draconic)
Pellios Leroung: Race? Wizard (School?)
dunebugg: LG Cleric
Not a lot of muscle. Ironic, considering the current group I am with (15 players) has one caster other than my character (aforementioned teleporting barbarian/wizard).
For those who are still working on their characters I won't select anymore until recruiting closes after Monday so update when possible.
Any notes/thoughts/questions on Arianna? And while she's not going to be the bulkiest thing by nature, she's definitely built for melee, and the natural armor her bloodline and prestige class give her make her (plus her next ten levels being in Dragon Disciple giving her d12 HP) make her pretty okay on the front line. So not hitting like a fighter, but closer to a bard in terms of mixing magic and combat.
Are you still accepting submissions? The last line of your post above sounds like you are not.
If you are, are we supposed to be somehow working against the established government?
I'm thinking of playing an Inquisitor, not sure what race yet.

I'd want to play a Dhampir Ninja (or possible Rogue knife master). My character does not belong to a house but works as a seductionist (and assassin if needed) for hire for the houses.
Based on the rolls Im going to go with the 2nd set
Traits: Charming and child of the temple (if your still allowing players I'll make a full character backstory)
Yes, , i am still taking submissions.
If your character is not yet working against the government i would like him to at least have a reason to do so.
ariana :my one real question for now was what level you will hit dragon disciple at.
To the established characters in general: i will give more thorough reviews over the next couple of days. The pathfinder forums being down last night threw off a lot of my free time plans.
She'd be eligible for and definitely begin taking Dragon Disciple come level 6, and levelling that straight though for the next ten levels.
Posting for interest, will put up a set roll in a few hours.

Edited to reflect character updates.
Gashanar is a legalistic werebat, picking up the infernal languages to better understand the many books of laws written by the Infernal Dukes. He holds to these laws almost exclusively, rarely stepping out of the boundaries defined by them. It is from adherence to these infernal laws that the society of the weak grows. Many of the upper elite do not adhere to their own laws, let alone the laws established for them by the Dukes. Gashanar seem himself as a instrument of policing the noble houses that insist on doing things their own way instead of the way according to the Infernal Laws (which are not necessarily the Laws of Cheliax).
Rolls..
Ill take set 1 of 15, 8, 18, 7, 14, 15.. Ill have something together by tonight..
GM I want to clarify, as your original post is strangely worded. Do you A) want as few Core races as possible or B) want as few non-Core races as possible?
And for Lycanthropes / Vampires.. are you giving them a level adjustment? If not, is there something to balance the power between these templates and people who chose not to use one?
All, though specifically to Dunebugg... I would prefer to have only 1 or two non-core races.
Though I was hoping to find a good template for them, I've decided to go with standard level adjustments for non-core races:
Vampire: 2 levels
Lyncanthrope: 1 level
Dhampirs: No level adjustment
Samsaran: No level adjustment
Tiefling: No level adjustment
Here is an updated list under consideration list with better organization

Also, this character, Adrien, is am Elvish Dhampir (a custom race I created for recruitment to a Kingmaker Campaign). I'll send you the template to look over and decide. If not, I can change his race. But I'll update his stats to your specifics.
Edite: This is of course Adrien Riventhorn...posted with my GM avatar.
Are we going with standard wealth for lvl 5 char?
Starting wealth will be modified. It will be around the 10.5k standard.
Reviews Set 1:
---Monroe Sanders: Gunslinger---
What I like: This character presents a very interesting situation for Cheliax Politics, and specifically how gunpowder might change positions of power. Current Cheliax power is based primarily on how well they can work with devils and infernal powers. The introduction of gunpowder might give those lacking the influence of devils a fighting chance. The fact that you are returning as an exiled son will shape the political turmoil even more.
What I’m interested to see: The one key point in your background would be which house your father was associated with. The two possibilities are Jeggare (who has the wealth to support experiments with gunpowder) or Narikopolus (who love all things ranged). Narikopolus as I have structured it would be very hesitant to accept gunpowder into their prestigious archery ranks. This could easily explain the exile.
-----------
---Viluki: Wizard---
What I really like: The Hellknight aspect. Though I did not mention them, my Cheliax does utilize the Hellknights quite a lot. I like that you chose a different channel to work on this quest and considering your characters 20 INT I’m exciting to see what happens next.
What I also like: ENCHANTER! And, just as much, evocation as an opposed school.
What I’m interested in seeing: How a non-fighter uses the Hellknight organization.
-----------
--- Narian, son of Ellor: Magus ---
What I like: This is a great stat set for the magus with 19 dex and int. Also Arcane vendetta looks handy. I like that you have the basis for a very directed combat style.
What I’d like to see: I’m thinking it’s because I have set starting gold/equipment standards but I’m interested to see what weapon your character will be using. The elven battle training does work with any of your equipped weapons. You fit the Charthagnion mold well, caster devoted to power, but I would like to see a little more of how your character’s purpose/goal is defined. Not necessarily by adding to the backstory but by setting his power pursuit more clearly. Like maybe you have an arcane vendetta because you’ve been slowly learning the weaknesses of Charthagnion and are ready to start growing your own power inside the House.
-----------
--- Algar Lysandris: Witch ---
What I like: As I mentioned in another post I wasn’t thinking I was going to allow Samsarans but I liked your integration of Samsaran traits into the backstory. The quest story will play upon this even more and I find it very interesting to see how it plays out.
What I’m interested in seeing: A couple of things. 1) I think this character can be extremely RP-valuable: strong diplomacy/bluff, a couple of traits to increase it, and a background to support it. 2) I’m not sure how this character will function in combat. You have certainly built the witch around a healing base but I’m not familiar enough with the witch class to see beyond that. 3) Using Cheliax as a base should give you a lot of opportunity to use the craft potion. I also like that your thinking of the benefits of outside of combat potions. This could be a very interesting character.
-----------
--- Arianna Ddraig: Human Sorceress ---
What I like: This character is very well fleshed out and fits well with Cheliax. This character is likely to be equally strong in combat and in RP. I like the dragon disciple class so I’m interested in you’ll play it.
What I’m interested in seeing: Your character straddles the line between Charthagnion (magical, power hungry) and Leroung (desire for knowledge). Because of her desire, I feel that she would have a strong connection to Leroung, though one she would be more than willing to break should she need to.
Since i've always wanted to play a vampire and you offered up the race, here we go.. Two of her feats are from the Way of the Wicked Campaign and seemed thematic for her.. A noble on the surface that can still somewhat interact in daylight, but is an assassin by trade, hence the improved darkvision etc.. If you don't like ill switch them to something else.. Heading towards RMA Prc btw..
Backstory still to come, but the crunch is finished.. I'm thinking she'll be part of House Henderthane.. Her wealth is right at 10.5k atm..
Crunch is in her profile
Edit.. I was crunching when u posted abt the level adjustments, ill bring her down to a Fighter 1/Ranger 2
Also, this character, Adrien, is am Elvish Dhampir (a custom race I created for recruitment to a Kingmaker Campaign). I'll send you the template to look over and decide. If not, I can change his race. But I'll update his stats to your specifics.
Hmmmmmmmmm. I do like Cheliax. Aaanddd house politics.

Well crap herolab requires you to be 5 hit dice to acquire the vampire template.. What should i do?
I just did the mod regardless of herolab screaming at me.. Her stats are updated for a 3rd level character now..
Sure, I could retool it a little bit to work Leroung in.
Her mother is a scholar, so she could be kind of a cousin or otherwise side-relative of the Leroung family. Nothing that would give her clout or power, but it would ensure a job in the University of Egorian, and open up the door for Arianna to work there. She'd be a member of Leroung far easier by birthright, but their apathy toward politics and far more clean manner of exploring magic, means she does hold far more to the ideas and goals of Charthagnion. Her father might have a small affilliation to them, but nothing too great, since both of her parents kind of lack the ambition she has.
Of course, her blood and lineage are important to her, since they form so much of her pride and arrogance, so severing ties with them would be a decision made for important reasons and have an impact on her, instead of just being tossed away.
Ertan is a problem solver for House Narikopolus. His specialty is problems that decide to disapear to avoid resolution, tracking them down and solving them permanently. He only solves problems that have somehow broken Cheliaxian laws.
He has a problem however, he feels that his talents are not being adequately rewarded. Thus he has decided that it is time for him to rise to a proper position of power in Cheliax.
Still have to figure out gear and spells
Well crap herolab requires you to be 5 hit dice to acquire the vampire template.. What should i do?
I saw that as I was reviewing the Vampire race. Don't worry about it and just leave it at the level 3 character you have now. Judging from the quick overview I think you;ll be able to keep up even down 2 levels.

My first thought as seeing a Dhampir ninja was, wow, that character is going to be stealthy as… well a halfling that just fell down a dirty chimney. Assuming he isn’t coughing… and isn’t leaving soot tracks. Regardless, I think a Dhampir ninja/rogue is a very interested character build and am interested to see how it’s specced.
----------
--- Gashanar ---
What I like: I think this is a very interesting build, with a crazy amount of different natural attacks. I’m interested to see how it plays out.
A few unrelated notes:
-You will need to change your alignment from LN, barbarians cannot be Lawful.
-If you didn’t see it already, there will be a 1 level adjustment for lycanthropes.
-I’m interested in how Charthagnion will treat you. Your character fits a Henderthane or Hellknight mold better, but it can be very interesting as a Charthagnion member. Charthagnion will likely be split on whether to admire your special abilities or to shun you as too unnatural. I think your character will be largely uninterested in the commotion it causes and more interested in how to use that confusion to accomplish his goals.

Yes, make it a family matter solidifies a lot of things and would bring a decision that couldn't be made with simple calculations. I like how where that is heading... Not that I would exploit it as a GM or anything
She's willing to go to certain lows to gain power, but this is something that forms a large portion of her identity, so yeah, definitely something that would have to be done for very important reasons.

What I like: This is a great way to use a vampire, especially with the ridiculous 120 ft darkvision.
What I’m interested in seeing: There are a lot of Vampire mechanics that I’m interested in seeing play out in game. 1) The “Vampires cannot enter a private home or dwelling unless invited in by someone with the authority to do so.” That might lead to some interesting situations. 2) The 4 rounds and dead in sunlight is kinda of a bother. Something like this might help: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/c-d/dyso- s-travel-canopy
Questions: I’m not sure how you got 9 feats (not counting the creature of darkness rf sunlight resistance racial feats.

What I like: This Inquisitor build looks like a lot of fun in combat. You can judge, gaze, lore, trick, teamwork feat yourself and then melee/range them. And that’s before you consider any of the spells.
What I’m interested in seeing: two things. 1) Where you go with the spells. Even if not the specific spells the theme: buffs, healing, RP, etc. 2) What actually happens in combat and how often attacks are melee vs ranged. Melee will grant you the teamwork feats but your dex bonus and feats makes ranged far more effective.

Anyone else who would like to submit a character before the Monday Midnight deadline can do so
The plan is to stay at range as much as possible. But gaining proficiency with longswords didn't hurt. I have never played an inquisitor but they seem to bring a lot to the table with a bunch of skills, some spells, and pretty good combat ability. My second +1 will definately be going into str and I may buy a +2 str item with starting money.
