Greetings!
The time has come! Now is the time! Now is the hour! Ours is the magic! Ours is the power!
Seriously,though, these decisions are never easy! I liked all of the characters and really wanted to see them all in play. I've decided, however, that I will take 7 total submissions instead of 6, because I liked the submissions that much.
Will the following characters please sign in on the discussion thread?
Giosue Rhigetti
Darsanga Barstos
Ezechias
Kevroth
D'hara
Iavdi
Chakat Hellstrider
Thank you all for your wonderful submissions!
Thanks for accepting me.
Finally get to play her :)
Wooo! Thanks for accepting me!
Rats. Congrats all.
Alas, the dark thoughts overcame Zac, and he took his own life in his hopelessness. HF all.

Dang, another time then. glhf guys
Greetings one and all!
I am in need of 2 new champions of law and order who wish to crush the hordes of the Abyss beneath their hell-forged boots! And replenish the ranks of fallen Hellknights (For some reason, I've decided I want to keep the number of players at 7. There's a fun... symmetry to it)
Crunchy goodness is here:
http://paizo.com/campaigns/WrathOfTheHellknightsGestaltMythicWrathOfTheRigh teous/recruiting&page=1
Players are currently at 5th level
I'd like to get selections done by nextweek Friday, depending on interest. If only 2 people apply, then things get done sooner :)
What Mythic tier (if any) is the group? Also, Dotting.
currently, none. we're just about to finish the Gray garrison.. They're LITERALLY almost there. So, soon to be 1?
Okay, I just wanted to make sure before I started making my character. Is there anything the group really needs/has to have?
Need someone Lawful? How about...
Submitting Sven the Mazebreaker. Lawful Neutral Zen Archer / Inquisitor of Torag. Order of the Godclaw.
Sven is one of the survivors of Kar Khazok. Once just a fletcher, his time in hiding forged him into an embittered warrior. Their hearts burning with vengeance, he and his fellows, kept watch over the tunnels of their clan. Knowing that the orcs and minotaurs were warring over the ruins, it was the goal of his unit to ensure that neither side got the upper hand over the other. For once both sides were significantly weakened, the clan planned to invade their own home and to take it back.
Sven won great acclaim in this role as a hunter of minotaurs. With his runic bow in hand, he would stalk them through the ruins of the hold, and he would even harass those that still lived deep under the earth in their maze-like lairs. So skilled was he in both tracking the creatures that he earned the name 'maze-breaker.'
This came to an end though, when his group of partisans did too well. His comrades managed to slay Bolg, and in retaliation the full might of the orcs fell on them. Sven barely managed to escape the slaughter, carrying Bolg’s Hornbow with him. The last memory of a fallen people.
For weeks he fled, before finally escaping to the surface. Bereft of his clan he wandered aimlessly. The people of the surface disgusted him. The world he found was chaotic, without any sense of order or discipline. It was the antithesis of what his old clan stood for. He did not fit in.
That is, until he came across a monestary dedicated to the Godclaw. For the bitter dwarf, the Godclaw adherents were the closest thing he could find to a home. He quickly fell into their belief structure, and their goal to bring law and order to the world. He made his vows, and with a donation of all his worldly possessions save his bow, he became a monk.
Sven has now been sent by his order as a reinforcement for a hellknight operation. With bow in hand and ice in his heart, he is ready to do what needs to be done.

Aura joined the Hellknights for one reason only: to hunt demons and their cultists. Most of the time, she treats people with decency and respect, but when cultists appear, she goes out of her way to murder them in as violent a way as possible.
Her vendetta actually began when she was a young girl. Not all Elves returned at the same time from the first world stronghold where they fled to; some were performing tasks there that required time to finish. One such family was Aura's family. When they returned a century ago, Aura was a young girl. Her family discovered that their tree had been almost completely corrupted by Treerazor.
Many members of her family took their own lives, but her father forbade any more to do so, instead sundering their line and calling a hunt on all demons and those who summon them to this world.
Each family member crafted weapons from the tree, and Aura was no exception: She carved a set of 10 throwing knives that her cousin, a Druid, enchanted to make as hard as steel. Finishing her training at the childish age of 20, Aura set out to find Demons and avenge her family upon them. She was captured almost immediately.
Cultists of Treerazor drug her into the woods kicking and screaming and bound her in a summoning circle. A powerful demon was summoned, who spent some time torturing her, to the point of what they thought was death. They discarded her body into an open grave and left to gather more sacrifices.
Aura survived, however, and crawled her way through the woods for days until she was found by a group of Hellknights that were heading into the Worldwound. Upon hearing her story, a detachment went to the ritual spot and killed all of the cultists, returning her belongings to her. She joined up with the Hellknights, agreeing to work with them to kill all demons and cultists.
During the evenings, Aura rises after her trance and stalks through the streets, hunting cultists and then killing them. Whereever her band of Hellknights goes, a rash of murders crops up and remains unsolved.
A natural scout, Aura typically performs those duties for her unit.
I really shouldn't join another game... but dot.
I’m interested.
Me too - although not my original submission...
Dot, not quite sure what I am going for yet.
What are the current characters' classes, so our concepts don't conflict?
Chakat: Cavalier/Anti-Paladin
D’Hara: Unchained Monk/Warpriest-Inquisitor
Giosue: Wizard/Arcanist
Kevroth: Warpriest/Unchained Rogue Bandit
Iavdi: Battle Host Occultist/Cavalier
I saw this and figured that the party is missing 2 things. (1) a dwarf and (2) ranged.
My first though when I saw the crunch was a Bloodrager/Oracle. Rage cycling for days. But they seem to have melee sorted out quite well.
Do we still need a campaign trait?
Thanks for the breakdown, Sven!
I have an interesting character that I'd like to propose, which looks like she would fit in well. She's a Paladin//Skald, and she's all about inspired rage and healing effects. I'll post the details later today.
You still need a campaign trait. The group is very melee focused. The cavalier is a variant of a centaur, so is large.
The hook will be that you are armigers returning to post after dealing with chaos in the streets. They were ordered to go to the gray garrison to reinforce the contingent already sent. The party is LE. Paladins CAN work with the group, but they’d need to emphasize the law more than the good (and probably worship the godclaw)
Depending on how things go, we can probably get you inserted before the final battle
The party is very lawful evil...as such, to fit in a bit better, I’ll make Sven deurgar. He’ll be lawful evil.
Right - and now for something completely different!
I'm going to build a LN Aerokineticist/Shifter - a crusader who was infected by the taint of the Worldwound and turned to the rigid discipline of the Hellknights to help control himself when he started uncontrollably changing shape.
First aspect will be either Falcon or Owl to mix well with the Aerokineticist bit. :)
Is there a wealth adjustment for level 5? I only ask because I was looking at how to equip and stopped to wonder.
We’re using automatic bonus progression and this thing called virtual gearing. Virtual hearing means every level you just buy the gear you want because it’s assumed you found it as you adventure
Wealth by level for 5th level is 10,500 - 50% = 5,250.
I just ask because of a neat wondrous item I saw. I'm an RP nerd and saw something I thought was wonderful for flavor. That's why I asked, honestly
Doom came to the duergar when the Orc Warlord Bolg Irongut allied with a minortaur Lord Brahmn and his tribe. The orcs launched a brutal assault, their ranks bolstered by savage Minotaurs. With both threats United, there was little the dwarves could do. Hall by hall, room by room, the dwarves were slaughtered. They fell back slowly, collapsing ceilings and laying traps behind them. But to no avail. Eventually, when even their stubbornness had reached its limits, they attempted to break out. With the keep fallen, Bolg and Brahmn betrayed each other nearly immediately. Indeed, their treachery is what allowed the dwarves to escape.
Sven is one of the survivors of Kar Khazok. Before the fall he earned the name ‘Mazebreaker’ for his accomplishment of assassinsting a Minotaur shaman within it’s own maze. When the fall came, Sven was separated from his kinsmen. The majority of his brethren fled deeper into the darklands. Sven, pursued for miles my orcs, was driven up. Towards the surface.
For weeks he fled, hounded by not only orcs, but mongrelmen and other darkland denizens, before finally escaping to the surface. Bereft of his clan he wandered aimlessly. The people of the surface disgusted him. The world he found was chaotic, without any sense of order or discipline. It was the antithesis of what his old clan stood for. He did not fit in. Worse yet, the color of his skin preceded him. The bright, disgusting, weak world, was no more hospitable to him than the darklands. He eventually became a mercenary for clients who cared little for how their marks were killed. It was a rough life, and one fraught with more than one town fled from, but he made it work.
Seeking meaning in life, Sven followed rumors of a monastery dedicated to the Godclaw. For the bitter dwarf, the Godclaw adherents were the closest thing he could find to a home. He quickly fell into their belief structure, and their goal to bring law and order to the world. He made his vows, and with a donation of all his worldly possessions save his bow, a trophy from one of his most prized kills. It was there that he abandoned the faith of Droskar and took up the Godclaw in earnest. He rose, becoming a skilled inquisitor, using divine power to supplement his archery.
Sven has now been sent by his order as a reinforcement for a hellknight operation. With bow in hand and ice in his heart, he is ready to do what needs to be done.
There we go. Lawful Evil deurgar archer, ready to report.
Human Armiger (Fighter) | Legalistic Oracle of the Godclaw
Further progression would result in Hellknight taking over the Armiger (Fighter) side and, slightly later, Hellknight Signifier taking over the Oracle side.
Recognizing the order's five deities, the character would gain various powers.
- Might of the Godclaw, focusing on obediences as opposed to gaining further powers from any one diety.
- Abadar's Boon
- Asmodeus's Boon
- Iomedae's Boon
- Irori's Boon
- Torag's Boon
The character would start off in Full Plate and work his way into Hellknight Plate at 7th level when he gains his 2nd level in Hellknight. He would also gain his Signifier at 7th level as well since that is when he would gain his 1st level in Hellknight Signifier.
While the character is melee orientated in combat, the character can act as a secondary/primary source of healing through spells.

That sounds like an interesting concept. I can see some great use out of it. There's Oracle archetype for the Godclaw if you're interested.

What book was that from? I knew there was a Mystery, but I was not aware of there being an archetype.

As long as you can afford it, take it
You have 5250 gp.
Stat boosting items don't exist (or function if they're only of an item's powers) because you naturally get stat bosts through Automatic bonus progression.
This means that a Paladin's boon won't give +1 static bonus, because you already have that. instead, it'll give a +1 power (like, flaming, or whatever).

The Hellknights book. Maybe it's only a mystery. I'm at work, and can't access my books T_T stupid life getting in the way of gaming. I only need a job to pay for things like food and shelter. it can't be THAT important.

And books, don't forget books.
It's a mystery you were thinking of and that was totally the plan for this character. Recognized by the Godclaw pantheon from birth, the character has been held to a legal way of thinking and reacting. Over the years, he has learned to embrace aspects of each. The character would be lawful neutral.
It’s really too bad that the Eldritch Archer and Armored Batllemage Magus archetypes don’t stack. I’d feel silly being a Hellknight runnning around in light armor (though I guess that’s what most Signifers do, isn’t it?). I guess I could always wear mock armor. lol
Armored Hellknights is so last year.
Are you using Spheres of Power?
Realized that to do mythic archer properly, I'll need mythic rapid shot and many shot. Can't do that with a zen archer. So made Sven into a Sniper Slayer/Inquisitor. Actually ended up with +1 AC, more HP, judgements, and better ranged sneak attack. At the cost of -10ft movement, and a horrible touch AC. Well worth the trade.
Are you using Spheres of Power?
No 3rd party. Paizo only except for gestalt rules and gearing hearing houserule
Man, I'm having a really hard time coming up with something I like that meets the groups needs. Not sure if I'll submit or not, as cool as this game sounds.
The group doesn't really have any needs, maybe range. Make something that will motivate you to play it. Don't force it.
I would much rather play with an awesome character concept in which you are invested than something made to fit the needs of the group...
I agree (and I'm not even one of the current players!) You should always make a character you want to play, mainly because a good party can overcome any perceived "imbalances".
Agreed. It’s better to play what you want, not what you think is needed.. I don’t care much for the idea of party balance to begin with. Follow your bliss
