Were you planning on running this here or on some other forum?
Can you also give some more details about character creation? Starting stats method? Starting gold? Feelings about crafting?

Ha, was just about to ask.
I've only tried the paizo system, so I have nothing to compare it to. I like it well enough though; the built in formatting things (spoiler tags, ooc comments, dice roller, etc) are nice.
As for crafting, it's not that there have been problems necessarily (there may have been, but if so, I'm not aware of them). It's just that some DMs don't allow it for various reasons, one of which being how long it takes to craft items. Another is probably that some DMs don't like the discount you get for crafting items as opposed to buying them straight out. I was wondering because I was considering making a ranger with craft(bows) and craft(alchemy), the latter probably largely for poison.

also since this is 4 modules put together to make up a short story, how long do you expect this to take and how much emphasis do you put on roleplay?
You say advanced allowed? So that means hybrid classes and base classes? And you say you are not a fan of technological classes? Does that mean stuff like gunslinger, alchemist, etc.
In my RL round I've played a ranger with craft bows^^
I see no reason to disallow it (the time consumation is the balancing part of crafting as far as I see). One question for that build: wouldnt you also need knowledge nature (or profession herbalist) to know which plants to have the properties you need for creating your potions?
You say that like you think a statement of where I want to put 2/(6 or more) of my skill points is my entire character... :-P
And I guess a better question is, is there going to be time for crafting in the campaign? I know the first two modules have kind of a time constraint, but that says nothing about between modules. And how do you feel about crafting before the game starts (AKA assume some stuff in character creation was crafted)?

yes I did mean playing things out, games can be combat low, but also still be roleplay low. I'm was just wandering because DMs that DM modules do vary upon roleplay, considering they are short, some have none at all, while others have plenty.
I think you underestimate how long crafting takes. To craft a Composite longbow with +0 strength bonus (worth 100 gold), assuming you get a 25 on the craft check each time (which is probably a pretty high roll), will take ~3 weeks. Even a regular longbow (75 gold) takes about that long.
I think I might just scrap the crafting stuff, so it wouldn't matter too much anyway.
Quick question. "Paizo System" does that mean here on these forums Play by Post?

Hmmmmm what to play what to play.
Would the Darkmoon Vale prejudice against lycanthropes make playing a Hengyokai difficult.
Interested in doing a skill monkey slayer or a bloodrager depending on party needs.
Wow... Those rolls... I guess anything can be built with that, but KageNoRyu I am actually more interested in knowing more about the tone of the game - why Darkmoon Valley, for example, what drew you there? What is the expected character progress, if there is one, and stuff like if you're planning on starting from scratch without we knowing each other, if there is a plot hook, etc.
Stuff like that would help me cement what I would like to play :D
@albion: Darkmoon was the first part where I ever played in the golarion universe. I like the style in and around falcons hollow. Somemthing dark with a few slight slices of hope and light.
That is already helpful - dark with slices of hope and light is something I enjoy ;)
Character progress: What do you mean there?
I mean stuff like as far into levels we will get, since it may make a difference in the mechanics one takes for your character and stuff like that.
Plot hook: What do you mean there?
I guess I was wondering if there is a particular reason for the characters to be in Falcon's Hollow, or if we would simply work that out for ourselves ;)

Ok, now for crunch stuff, and for my organization:
Stat rols are: 15, 15, 14, 16, 15, 15
I've been wanting to try out the warpriest, so I am leaning towards going for it. Plus I love dwarves so... I think I see something shaping up :D

I'll give this a shot. I'll have some better idea for a character later.
While harsh her childhood was hardly the worst many could ask for. She was fed, kept safe from the dangers of the shadowlands and cared for as much as anyone could be slaving under the cruel and callous dark elves.
When she came close of age her sheer physical capability was noted and her talent for magic became apparent. The mistress decided to put her to use as a unique form of entertainment in the gladiatorial arenas as a form of showing female Drow superiority. That even this half blooded waste of flesh could still best her rivals slaves in the circle.
While she hated the bloodshed she did like the attention, and especially the women who occasionally paid her a visit. This gave her an ego boost that she originally never had before and unfortunately made her do things that were far above her station. A crime that means death.
After a sexual advance towards a priestess went bad Berry was imprisoned and sentenced to be sacrificed to demons. Deciding that a life in the tunnels was a preferable option she overpowered the guards and fled to the surface.
Alone, and terrified of civilized societies BErry spent much of her time exploring and surviving the sun emblazoned wilderness of the surface world, full of brightness, and life that was at once brilliant and overwhelming.
Yet, in this calm and sometimes cruel life she learned that pain, fear, love, life, and death were mere parts of the natural order of which all were a part of. She found peace in this and over time this peace and meditation sparked in her innate magical powers druidic abilities.
With confidence she explored her plains realm as a predator, stalking and taking prey when she was hungry, or needed to defend her meager home from dangerous predators. She told herself that she did not miss civilized life. But, when she came across hunters who had just taken down a massive mother lion and saw the trappings of civilization her heart started to ache for good food, a warm bed, and the company of women. She approached them, talked briefly about them and their profession, and walked away with a cub destined to die.
Ever since she has found a compromise between enjoying the fruits of civilization but living a life spent mostly in the wild away from the problems that a civilized life causes. As a professional hunter she uses her skills from the ring to slay creatures that cause problems and in turn gets money to spend on nice clothes, food, and the ability to go into places where women of a certain mindset might be found.
Berry is abrasive without being offensive. The sort of person who slaps you on a hard back and gives broad smiles at you while you attempt to breathe again. While she enjoys loud parties and excess debauchery she's much more appreciative of silence and tranquiility particularly when she's at work. She has no real prejudice's having been raised among a mixed company of slaves and monsters alike. She has no problems with gender either though she exclusively prefers the company of women.
Sorry but I think I'm going to have to withdraw from this. I'm just really not feeling my character.
Best of luck to everybody! I'm sure you'll have fun.
Hello.
Gnomezrule here. This is my alias Bhoors Thistledown. Bhoors is a switch hitter for now though he is heading for archery all the way.
I think I meant the green philosophy or way I can't remember the actual name of it.
I think this is what speaking of The Green faith
Berry: Looks nice. Although a questin the deity: Green do you mean the green mother there??
Bhoors: Interesting choice there (didnt see that one in action so far in pathfinder)
Is it the switch hitter to archery?

Special Abilities:
Arcane Reservoir: An arcanist has an innate pool of magical energy that she can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance her spells. The arcanist's arcane reservoir can hold a maximum amount of magical energy equal to 3 + the arcanist's level. Each day, when preparing spells, the arcanist's arcane reservoir fills with raw magical energy, gaining a number of points equal to 3 + 1/2 her arcanist level. Any points she had from the previous day are lost. She can also regain these points through the consume spells class feature and some arcanist exploits. The arcane reservoir can never hold more points than the maximum amount noted above; points gained in excess of this total are lost.
Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel many of the arcanist's powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the spell's DC by 1. She can expend no more than 1 point from her reservoir on a given spell in this way.
Flame Arc: The arcanist can unleash an arc of flame by expending 1 point from her arcane reservoir. This creates a 30-foot line of flame that deals 1d6 points of fire damage + the arcanist's Charisma modifier, plus an additional 1d6 points of fire damage for every 2 levels beyond 1st (to a maximum of 10d6 at 19th level) to each target in the line. Creatures in the area of effect may attempt a Reflex saving throw to halve the damage.
Consume Spells: At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist spell slot as a move action, making it unavailable for the rest of the day, just as if she had used it to cast a spell. Doing this adds a number of points to her arcane reservoir equal to the level of the spell slot consumed. She cannot consume cantrips (0 level spells) in this way. Points gained in excess of the reservoir's maximum are lost.
Gear:
1 Light Crossbow(35 gold, 4 lbs), 40 Crossbow Bolts(4 gold, 4 lbs), 1 Dagger(2 gold, 1 lb), 1 Potion of Cure Light Wounds(25 gold), 1 Spellbook, 1 Blanket(5 silver, 3 lbs), 1 Scroll of Magic Missile, 3.5 gold
Background:
Appearance and Personality:
His intelligence and natural talent have given him incredible confidence in his abilities, and he even takes his unnatural luck for granted. Incredibly optimistic and slightly absent-minded, Milo attempts to make friends with everyone he meets and attempts to avoid hurting people unless he has to.
I think this is what speaking of The Green faith
That's the one.

The last ranger i played was pre Desolation of Smaug so I liked the idea of an archery ranger i just did not by into the whole using one in melee like snap shot. However having watched a pair of elven archers I thought it looked cool. So this time I figured I would try it out here to see how it goes.

That's some good rolling.
Still needing to choose traits and finish equipment/crunch, but should have this character completed by the deadline.
Humanoid form:
Daedron is a thin and slightly pale looking elf male with blonde hair that goes down to his shoulders. He is quite nice looking although he is relatively small for an elf reaching only 5ft 6in.
What is quite unique is a large clawlike scar on his back that has an aequivalent looking scar right on his chest.
He wears a slightly oversized round hat with a swan feather on top of it. He has brownish trousers and a white shirt and a reddish cape.
Dragon form:
In his true form the being who calls himself daedron but doesnt remember his true name (if he has one even!) looks like a golden dragon half the size of a human being with wings that are too weak to support him for full flight. His eyes are bright red and those of a reptile and he has horns on top of his head. His claws seem quite fragile though but he is able to bend them and use them like hands.
What is quite unique is a large clawlike scar on his back that has an aequivalent looking scar right on his chest.
Personality:
Daedron is curious (some like the clerics say that he is too curious) as he has forgotten so much about himself and the world he is trying to find out all he can and in case he forgets again he is writing into his book all things that he finds interesting and intriguing. Especially the behaviours of the humanoids are strange to him and he is writing them down continuously and tries to mimic them which can lead to quite some strange occurances as just after leaving the monastery he met a couple and thought that all humanoids aside from clerics greet one another like those two did which lead to HIM having to apologize which he does not EVER want to do again! He is quite prideful and does not want to do anything that he sees below him (especially apologizing). Also thanks to his haunted past he has a thing for loyality, which leads him to be quite loyal almost to a fault at least as long as someone does not cross him. If that happens then
that one will feel what a reptile understands under revenge even if
he goes at it with the typical dragons attitude of him having time
to take it and take it right.

that ripped through his back and straight out of his chest
as golden scales turned a tained red. And the laugh of
the male red dragon when he awoke for the first time.
Even though he had trashed around in his righteous
wrath the clerics who had found him managed to calm
him down and explain to him that they had found him in
a long forgotten ruined cave amongside rubble and
gigantic skeletons. They called it a miracle of the gods
but he knew better he still heard the voice a female
voice the voice of a goddess ring in his ears that that
which has fallen shall rise again. He had forgotten
almost everything aside from the betrayal and after a
short while he came back to his strength and traveled
from the monastery to where they had found him. He
found mostly rubble and the skeletons of a few
humanoids and a dragon.....he instinctively knew that
that was his skeleton or the destroyed remains of it.
when he came back to the monastery he had an
amulett with him the sole thing he had found inside the
rubble of the old destroyed lair. He knew what he
wanted to do. He wanted to find out what happened,
who betrayed him and why and make them pay for it
AND also he wanted to know why he came back. That
was 2 years ago and the clerics had in their kindness
thought him a few things during this time, one of them
being common which he hadn't known before. He set
out and traveled westward to Andoran and falcons
hollow and the five king mountains as something within
him told him that he would find answers there.
