This is the official recruitment thread for a game where you will roll to determine things like class and race.
Archetypes are allowed, and can be chosen by you to modify the class you end up with.
To hopefully offset a player getting stuck with something they just flat out dislike, you may each roll three times, then pick one to play.
Character Creation
Ability scores: 4d6, drop lowest. If you are really unhappy with your stats, we can try to work something out. While the point is to truly let the dice decide stuff, I don't want my players not having fun.

3)Changelings
4)Dhampirs
5)Drow
6)Duergar

Starting level
Starting wealth x10= 200g
Traits 2, not sure I'll allow a drawback for a third, because with this being a dungeon crawl, many won't matter.
Alignment No evil, but if you're feeling lucky, feel free to roll for your alignment.
Feats Since this is going to be dungeon crawl, lets go with everybody getting one bonus combat feat, to show that you've trained a bit more to kick ass.
Health Max HP per level.
If I missed anything, feel free to ask/point it out.
Recruitment will be open to **at least** Tuesday, June 17th. I might close to new applications before then, but next weekend is very busy for me, and I have a RL game on the 16th, so I will not make final selections till the 17th.
Here we go.

So we'll have a Goblin Summoner. This is my first play by post so be gentle please. :)
Just to be clear, I rolled to see what level the party started with, so you all don't need to roll that as well.
Everybody is level one, per my above roll
The same is true for starting wealth.
You all get 200g to start with
Also, if your ability scores do not a total of +3 in modifiers, you get a free re-roll.
I seem to recall a more official rule on this, but I seem unable to find it. If somebody can track that down, please share it here.
Unless I'm going blind as well as deaf I believe above you said the starting level is two.
Starting level 1d3 ⇒ 2
Well, that's suspicious. I know for a fact I not only rolled a 1 for starting level, but also a 20 for wealth, hence how I got 200g. 20x10=200g. I wrote x20 above, but that was a mistake I corrected.
Starting level is now 2. F U dice shenanigans!
Starting wealth is 200g
I no longer trust the dice, I have been betrayed.

By the way. You can assign your ability scores however you want.
Just because the last number you rolled was a 17, does not mean that's your Charisma score, unless you want it to be.
Sedoriku, for that Catfolk Monk, you rolled a pair of nines, which are -1. That drops your total modifiers to +1, I believe, allowing you a re-roll there.
Would somebody like to lend a hand and just double check the various ability score rolls and make sure those whose mods do not add up to +3 get their re-roll?
I'll try to stay on top of it, but with so many players and three sets of rolls, it's gonna be hard. Especially once the week starts and I'm working and such.

wait i am confused do we get three tries plus the chance of a re-roll I read the original and I though you can roll once and only get a re-roll if you total mod is < +3
well I'll roll and see what I get:

Okay that makes the characters more malleable. Still uncertain about the Drow though, (their society is liable to crate some messed up characters.)
Sedoriku, for that Catfolk Monk, you rolled a pair of nines, which are -1. That drops your total modifiers to +1, I believe, allowing you a re-roll there.
I might have been messing up the addition there 15, 14, 13 = 5-2 = +3 I thought but if not,

Hmmm, how odd...
Y'know, I just recently made it into my first PbP game, and it's awesome, but considering the amount of free time I have, I'd love to try to hop in on another- and the idea of leaving my character concept up to the dice is tempting. Let's see what fate has in store, shall we?

A Dwarven Ninja...?! Wooow. That's almost funny enough to do.
So what I'm looking at is a Drow Ranger, Gillman Gunslinger, or Dwarf Ninja. None of them ended up with outstanding stats, but the Ranger sounds entirely playable. Plus, hey, never have gotten to play as a Ranger, and practically nobody allows Drow in their games! It could be fate! ...Of course, if Sedoriku also ends up going with that Drow Wizard... ;)
I'd love to play in this. :D

Okay, so I'm going to build an Archaeologist Bard with a focus on ranged combat. This way I'll be able to handle the trapfinding duties (provided nobody rolls a Rogue). Alternatively, I can make him a Dawnflower Dervish, pick up the Trapfinding trait from Mummy's Mask, and serve as a (slightly squishy) backup melee combatant. Thoughts?

@Ed,
Each player can roll three times, for three different ability scores, race and class combos.
IF you your stats do NOT equal at least a +3 mod, you get a free re-roll for that particular combination.
So, if you rolled an Elf Bard, and got really good stats, and a Goblin Witch with really bad stats and whose total modifier was +1, then you get to re-roll for the Goblin.
ALSO! Spinningdice reminded me. If you so desire, feel free to use the Background Generator
Because, who doesn't love more randomness??
yeah just before you posted I found the section you mentioned that.
anyway I like the gnome cavalier option
since we are level 2 can we multiclass or not (if so is that also random?)
Nice change of pace.
Ability scores:
Cha
Con
Dex
Int
Str

Race:
Kobold
Class:

Prepare for a Kobold's judgment!
Oh dice gods - what do you have in store for me tonight?

OK - so option 3 - the dwarf witch, just ain't gonna cut it, so that one's out. The human Paladin is a solid character and certainly playable, if a little bland. The Wayang Inquisitor,, however, really intrigues me! The only problem is how do you incorporate one into a party?
'Normally shy and elusive, the wayangs are a race of small supernatural humanoids who trace their ancestry to the Plane of Shadows. They are extremely gaunt, with pixielike stature and skin the color of deep shadow. Deeply spiritual, they follow a philosophy known as "The Dissolution," which teaches that in passing they may again merge into the shadow. They readily express their beliefs through ritual scarification and skin bleaching, marking their bodies with raised white dots in ornate spirals and geometric patterns. Grim and determined, the inquisitor roots out enemies of the faith, using trickery and guile when righteousness and purity is not enough. Although inquisitors are dedicated to a deity, they are above many of the normal rules and conventions of the church. They answer to their deity and their own sense of justice alone, and are willing to take extreme measures to meet their goals.'
So a small, dark creature with scars and colorings roots out heretics and enemies of their deeply spiritual tribe, using any means possible...

kobald
Nagaji
Dhampir
magus
monk
Druid
Hmm thinking not kobald, not monk, hmm either Nagaji Druid or maybe magus either one works for magus
Naga aspirant archetype if I go Druid, that's an archetype I've been meaning to try out
Primalist for magus, take advantage of the cha bonus plus it's just a nifty archetype
Wayang Inquisitor? That is gnarly. Something tells me this is going to be a very interesting party...
I've narrowed my choices down to either the Ranger or the Gunslinger, but I'm going to give that Random Background Generator a spin and see who gets a more interesting story.
To Voice of Awesomeness: is the actual adventure going to be randomly generated as well? Because if so, this is going to be hysterical, and I mean that in the best possible way. Also, any further details on character development, i.e. HP per level (I assume we'd roll for it)? Also, is this going to take place on Golarion or in a homebrew setting?
Foul:
i think you roll a set of stats with a race and class that is a set.
so you have three choices overall:
for you
kobold Magus
Nagaji monk
Dhampir Druid
Just because I am curious what would pop up, (and because it would make things interesting) let's do a random background for Mr. Wizard.
As there is not Drow options I will use the elf options (mostly, because 60% of Drow live in the forest, everything else should work).
Homeland- Underdark.
Parents Only father is still alive
Siblings
Circumstance of Birth Nobility
Nobility
Major childhood event Bullied
Background Wizard Dangerous intellect
Influential associate Lover
Conflict Cheater
Subject Merchant
Motivation Religion
Alignment
HP is max per level. Yes, rolling for it fits better, but as this is a dungeon crawl(more or less) I want the PCs to survive.
It will also take place in Golarion, to allow players an established setting to tie in to.
And yes, as much of this game's encounters will be determined as randomly as possible.
Edit: Yes, Edward is correct on how you roll each set.

Hmmm.
Don't know much about rangers and the monkey goblin is... odd... could actually be OK maybe. He stands on his Gorilla's shoulder.
Barbarian Ifrit. I don't like either of those, really.
Now, ninja undine... I love that one. A shurikener. Maybe uses smoke bomb choices. I really like the ninja undine. Rolling stats next.
I corrected a few errors in my profile

This campaign idea intrigues me, so here goes nothing...
Hmmm.

2: Strix Fighter, 11, 11, 17, 7, 11, 9 (+1 total, so re-roll stats...)

So far, none really grab me. I'd lean more toward the Suli Monk, just because I haven't done a Monk in PF yet. 8^)

I... honestly don't know what to go with. I mean, on the one hand, I could make a damn solid samsaran wizard. But a kobold paladin...
OK, so:

Water Mephit line.

His skin is very dark blue and he has small horns and a tail, so he's often mistaken for a tiefling. This makes him very angry. He uses shuriken which vaguely resemble sea stars as his primary weapon.
How much of a character sheet do you need?
Will you be choosing characters for the campaign, or will everyone be in, in like teams?
That would he kind of cool. Like one big organization that sends people in groups on adventures.
But if you are picking a finite amount of people, how much of a character sheet do you need to make the choice?

Paladin or Oracle, more likely the paladin.
As much as I would dearly love to take everybody, that's just going to be far too insane.
At the moment, I am thinking of 5-7 players, though I might just take four. Really depends.
A full character sheet will be needed to be chosen, but a full background will not. I would like a least a paragraph or two detailing some basics, but only write out a super long one if you feel you must. I may or may not read the really long ones, at least while still choosing my PCs. If I happen to choose a player who decided to write a small novel, I will then likely read that all after.
@ Anderlorn, yea, that's fine. However, I *might* come up with something to offset it, so if you aren't being all Magusy, its worse. That fair?
