Discussion up!
8th level characters. 20 point point buy. Average wealth by level 33k.
I believe Lucrezia was talking about rolling up a rogue.
Mostly rogue with a level of cleric. Undecided on race though.
Avatar will likely change depending upon race.
Dotzilla. I will see what the others choose and go from there. Happy Easter all!
Would everyone like to do the AP as written for the most part or would you be interested in my 'Post Apocalypse' idea I pitched a few days ago.
That would be an easy way to explain all the new faces.
Hello all, Feral invited me to join, which I'm thrilled about.
I'm willing to play just about anything; going to flip through the player's guide to familiarize myself with the game a bit more. I've played through the first adventure in the Path but sadly didn't get to part two (even though I've heard the next adventure's one of the best).
Anything I should know beyond what I've got from that first adventure?
ETA: What's the post-apocalypse idea?
I'll write a up a detailed summary if you guys are interested but essentially the story would deviate from the AP at about the midway point. Instead, it would be assume that the bad guys have triumphed and the city is in ruins. The resistance is shattered and the fabled Children of Westcrown are only a memory (and a dangerous one at that).
The party would be newcomers to the region (either intentionally or by chance) or locals that are tired of hiding from the fiends patrolling the streets.
Dot...!
I'm rolling up a witch, perhaps the child of Gregorio and one of the victims of his womanizing. Perhaps one of Alphonse's women...
OK, so sounds like we've got a witch and a rogue...
I may do an urban ranger. If I do, I will not be working towards the disable device thing since we have a rogue. I will do either an ranged or melee damage dealer.
I am looking at Bard, Ranger, Paladin (archer), and Fighter.
How many players are we looking at? If just four, I'm happy to do a divine caster of some sort, though I still need to figure out what.
I am going Garuda-Blooded (Plumekith) switch hitting urban ranger who with his trusty animal companion has hunted shadow beasts as a mercenary for the debunked Children of Westcrown. Going for the vigalante batman (work at night/stealth) deal. I will work on a crunch and background this afternoon.
It'll be five.

I'm expecting a pretty epic backstory Jman.
I think avoiding assimar would be a good idea Jman. It's bad enough that you're an ex-Child of Westcrown. Being a descended from angels would just be overkill.
You're going to be public enemy number one. =P
Hey all, Nick invited me too. I going to play a switch hitter gunslinger/brawler. He's going to be a ex-pathfinder looking to redeem himself by investigating Delvehaven.
Halfing Rogue with a level of cleric of Milani. Former slave whom the children of westcrown had helped free and smuggle out of the city. Returning because she wants repay the kindness done to her and try to help others as she was helped.
Oh, and she does have a slight tendency to want to set things on fire....
"Howdy Miss Ember. Mighty fine day it is."
It'll be five.

I'll go a different direction with the race then. Just throwing out ideas. Does the ranger idea work?
Yeah, the ranger idea is great.
So being an ex child of Westcrown would be a bad idea. I wasn't going to be one. Just a mercenary for them. I could skip that altogether.
It's workable it just means that you're going to be a bit infamous starting out. After the Fall, the Council hunted down and systematically destroyed all possible opposition.
Eventually Arael ran out of people to throw under the bus.
"Well, howdy there partner. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" ;)
"Heh. Both, little lady." :)
Probably going with this avatar.
I'll be posting some info in the campaign tab about the events leading up to the Fall and those after. Some of this will be knowable in character other parts will only be there for narrative but largely unknown by the individual characters.
Busy Easter today, so i am just adding bits and pieces to my character sheet as i get time. :)
Grimm-Wolf Companion
All right DM, I got some work done if you want to check out my progress. :)
Nicolae and Grimm Crunch up. I am still working on his background.
For background, I am thinking rich noble who is a brat as a child and leaves to enjoy the world as an adventurer. Gets recruited by the red mantis assasins and trained. Something happens and he is dismissed. Comes home to Westcrown to find his family has been murdered. Tracks the info on his sister to the Children of Westcrown (now gone) and learns about their fight against shadow beasts. Becomes a vigalante fighting shadowbeasts at night as well as following conspiracies on the COT/House Thrune. A little Batman inspiration that I will reflavor and change for this campaign. How does that sound?
Hmm, maybe I will change around my sheet. The urban ranger seems to have disable covered well, I could change my idea for all cleric instead.
This is my cleric. :)

I was only taking disable to aid you. I cannot do magical traps. I like your rogue!
Plus you have trapsense. Play what you want. We have a ranger, witch, monk/gunslinger, and someone mentioned a divine caster.
Plus you can scout. I am not that stealthy!
Ok, I can keep my rogue no prob. :)
I am stealthy and a cute little red-headed halfling. ;)

Am I allowed to occasionally set things on fire?
Oh, are we getting two traits and does one need to be a campaign trait or not?
If I wanted a +1 ghost touch short sword, how much would that cost? It would count as a +2 weapon on the price chart right?
Yeah, two traits. Make sure one is a campaign.
Yes, a +1 ghost touch short sword is priced as a +2 weapon.
OK, I'm going to do a cleric. Still trying to work out the exact details but I hope to have a character by the end of the day (though the sheet itself may take me until tomorrow).
Ok, just wanted to make sure I got my prices right. :)
Just seemed like a good idea for a weapon with all the shadow beastie thingys :)
Are crafting feats OK? And will there be time to craft, if so?
(Also, if so, are you OK if I try to design some of my own magic items? I'm certainly willing to put them up for community review.)
Would you allow me to find a paladin made wand of lesser restoration for 750 gp?
Item creation won't be necessary. I suspect you're already going to end up a good amount over the wealth curve.
I'm okay with custom items as long as it doesn't get too crazy. Run it by me and I'll okay them on a case by case basis.
No paladin wands of lesser resto but I'll let you get a normal one with less than full charges. Say .
What's the price on that then?
3/5 of a level 2 wand.
Yay, my computer has a calculator on it. :)
Alright, I'm back from a litany of Easter nonsense. I should have my witch up later tonight.
Sorry if my last response was smart-assy. I was in the middle of serving dessert. =P
A lesser restoration wand with 30/50 charges is 2700.
OK, character's starting to come together. I'm thinking a divine scion (from Inner Sea Magic) if that's OK.
Basically, he/she (leaning toward the latter at the moment, but may go back to the former) is not so much a cleric but an unlucky gambler who keeps getting into situations he/she does NOT want to be in, mostly because of his/her god. Well, he/she knows it's certainly not HIS/HER fault, so it's got to be his/her god's, right? Fortunately, his/her god seems to like him/her enough that she graces her with some favor that lets her get out of these situations (and, hey, maybe do whatever it was that his god wanted that caused him to get put into that situation in the first place).
Right now I'm leaning toward Milani/Desna for a god, though only because apparently Cayden wasn't interested in him. Even though he's tried to model his life after the Drunken Hero. Seriously, if he were creating his own mechanics, he'd be a rogue follower of Cayden. Instead, well, he's stuck with Milani/Desna constantly making life hard for him.
I like the general idea but keep in mind that Westcrown has become a very dark place. Think Mordor meets the Empire Strikes Back meets from LA.
A solid heroic character is just what the story needs but keep that grittiness in mind.
