Immediate Foresight
You cannot be surprised. Your natural armor class is 3, as you instinctively avoid foreseen blows. Armor and shields don’t aid this AC.
Conversion
You have uncanny dodge as a bonus feat. You have a natural armor bonus of +9. Armor and shields provide no benefit to you.
"You cannot be surprised." is poorly worded when two people have immediate foresight. If you already have uncanny dodge then receive improved uncanny dodge instead.

Thank you. I figured it would be something like that but I wasn't sure.

The old THACO of Baldur's Gate games and 2nd edition was confusing at first. Wearing more armor gave you less THACO and playing 3.5 before Baldur's gate, I had thought that running around without armor was the best thing. Though when I became older, I learned that I didn't have to know the system, and just trust that wearing more armor was better than not.
Also, that's a lot of conversioning to do. There's some funky abilities in the Godbound stuff, but when one's a demigod, these things happen I suppose.
Deciding on a party is going to be a doozy...
Over 9,000!!

Sorry, couldn't resist, lol.
good luck to all... it's been fun watching all the character creations...
I don't mean to bug, but I didn't see a decision about taking three words, and I want to make sure that my submission is correct, cause I really want to play this game.
Any submissions that need to be altered based on our rulings will not be penalized. So, don't worry Vrog, if we decide on two words, that's not gonna lessen your chances to get in, if you have 3.
so when do we get to know if our gifts need to be modified to suit pathfinder rules... I put mine in my profile as they exist in the godbound book, but of course, with the expectation that they might be changed... and I might need to either modify them or choose something different... just wondering.
Okay, good deal.
Good luck to everyone! A lot of tough choices!
Luck all! Should be enjoyable no matter who gets in.
Good luck everyone!
Good luck, all!
Best of luck, everyone.
Good luck you emerging deities! Look forward to rebuilding the ruins of Golarion with you guys.
My crunch will be up tonight. Good luck to everyone.
Well that sucks! No two-minute warning?
I still had an unresolved clarification which was holding up my submission.

I think they're closing recruitment to any new posters, but not existing posters or character submissions that haven't been created yet.
I gather that is the case from the way the last announcement was posted.
Possibly...
I'm just used to PbP recruitments requiring an actual character submitted as the application to be considered an applicant. I've done nothing but ask questions. :P
So have I.
Pin, what still needs to be answered for your character? Same with you Storm, if there's anything that you are waiting on, please reminds us. There's been a ton of questions, plus other stuff we are handling behind the scenes, so we might have overlooked it, or just forgot to give an answer.
Did I miss a post where you delineated the Pathfinder modifications to godbound gifts? Or have you not released those yet? Just curious as to what I might need to change on my character.
Are you saying Vanished = Dead for your canon? A couple of my examples are "fate unknown" instead of dead including Amaznen the one who my idea was originally centering around.
Not arguing, just clarifying. And since Nikolaus de'Shade and his collaborator indicated they were planning a concept around deities who were also attempting a return or resurgence...would this stance on dead/vanished/obscure gods also apply to player created or just those specifically mentioned in Paizo sources?
As for dead gods being dead, makes sense to me... though I do share Pin's question on ones presumed missing but not officially dead per the Inner Sea Gods splatbook (ex: they list The Peacock Spirit as being dead, as all who knew his name or the mysteries of his worship died in Earthfall. Lissala, however, they list as forgotten... and, fun note, per the canon of this apocalyptic world you guys have brought to us to play in, at least one person has awoken that remembers her. Between that and her rune magic seeming to work again, I would argue that she may very well be alive and active once more, even if the peacock isn't.)
As a side note, I believe I was mixing up the Peacock Spirit with Lissala if she's the one with the sihedron head.
OK, the situation with the gods is still under discussion.
If gods are dead in canon(Like Aroden) then they are still dead and you can't channel/be them reborn/etc.
That sounds like it would exclude Amaznen and Lissala then. Thank you.
Lastly, does this stance also refer to player created deities whom we are just writing up as MIA until now, or purely the canonical deities/devils/daemons/demons?

Mostly if Magdh was still alive. Divine characters, whether inspired by or directly wielding divine magic, are usually my characters of choice. The words and such I'm not as worried about, as I have used a number of different nascent godlings style rules sets in the past (Suzerain, Exalted, Rifts, etc), so I'll shape those to the character.

And it comes down to this! One can easily make 5 parties out of all of these characters, easily. So good luck everyone! What a scene though, to realize that no one worships your once worshiped god, because he's dead.
But say we still have that paladin-like motive and wish to convince others to "have faith and stand strong in so-and-so's love!", could we run around and spread word for others to still believe in so-and-so, even though they may be verily dead?
Magdh is still alive, yes. Rather fond of her.
I'll confer with the other GMs, but I am inclined to give everybody till either Sun(the 30th) or Mon(the 1st) to post up characters. They do not need to be 100% finished stat wise, but you do need to at least give us some basics. Most importantly, we request a solid background. We'll then choose our starting group.
After we pick the PCs, we'll likely give you several more days to fully finalize your PC, including making sure we have the Words finished.
What I need from all of you is a post saying you're still interested, who your PC is, what AP they died during, and what you're two words will be.
**IF** you're waiting on a Word to be converted, please note that very few of the gifts are being changed, and most of them for the better. Ie, go ahead and pick your words, as chances are pretty high they will either be unaltered or better.
**FINALLY**
If you are waiting on something to be answered, please, ask again. There has been a lot of questions, and lots of stuff going on behind the scenes. It's entirely possible we have an answer for you, but just forgot to post it.
And now we play the waiting game! Good luck to all (but hopefully me!)!
Still interested:
Playing Sedelion (character page here) who died in a modified version of Way of the Wicked shortly after escaping Branderscar prison. Words would be Journeying and Sword, subset gifts on the page.
Only question at this point is if the modified WoW is acceptable in this timeline... to me it makes sense that the island would have started evil and then descended into further chaos during the Really Awful times, but given it was a custom swap by my former GM I suppose it does need approval by y'all. If not I will have to modify my story a tad, but that could be as simple as saying the WoW folks actually succeeded and Sed was caught up in the aftermath.
What I need from all of you is a post saying you're still interested, who your PC is, what AP they died during, and what you're two words will be.
I'm still interested (this is JAF0)
PC: Mugmuff Darktalon
Died in: Rise of the Runelords
Words: Alacrity and Sword
Background has been rewritten, it's in the profile.
So looking forward to playing this.. hope I make the cut
Good luck to all!
Definitely still interested!
Devon Prissault, swashbuckler. Died during Second Darkness.
Came back with the words of Luck and Night.
Still immensely interested
Nordri Nipingr, Unchained Rogue Dwarf
Killed during Wrath of the Righteous AP
Words: Alacrity & Bow
Still interested!
Died during Hell's Rebels
Word: Night & Bow
I'm still here! Matsuoka Ken'ichi died during Jade Regent, and has returned equipped with the power of Endurance and the Sword.
Still here! Sekter died during Shattered Star. As for the words, I thought about working on them together with the GMs, only if he was chosen.
Four (Ceathair), Changeling Cleric of Magdh
Killed after Kingmaker
Words still working on them
Hmm...that answer is surprising since a few of the proposed backstories for some of the applications are for avatars or mortal incarnations of some player-created divine beings, and no cease & desist comments were made.
It's not that you sound like a broken record...it's that it seemed like there was some dividing line that separated acceptable deity incarnations and unacceptable (such as dead), and I was merely attempting to discover its edges.
Since I had not already invested too heavily in the concept—why I have been so patient :) —I doubt this will be problem for me, but some others seem to have already poured quite a bit into just such a background about divine avatars of a banished deity or a resurgence of some godly entity or another.
At least there is no ambiguity from this point forward. Thank you, DM Fnord.
This edge was just recently defined which is why we haven't spoken more strongly about that point until now. As Monkeygod has said, there's a lot happening in the background.
I haven't seen many backgrounds that included being the reincarnation of a canonically dead deity.
I also didn't see too many backgrounds that included any personally created gods.
Please, if you have created a god that is in your backstory, inform us of who that is, their portfolio, etc.

Let it be known that my character cannot replace Abadar, and cannot be Abadar, but mourns his death without knowing he's doing so. Lawful good and lawful neutral have different ideals and I'm going for something different in Mandello's design this time around. Instead of pretending to be LG, Mandello will truly be LG. Love, and Peace!
I don't know who pin was referring to, but it could be anyone! It could be...even me! Bum bum bum
@DM Fnord:
Wow, didn't know it wasn't accepted... no one spoke up about it when I clarified Sed's background all the way back here so I assumed it was kosher.
Hm...
A minor change would have been easy, but this would pretty much require that I rewrite his entire backstory (and somehow have it make sense with how he became the elf he was prior to death).
Think I am going to have to bow out, not sure that I can pull that off and keep true to the character. Good luck all.
