I’m potentially interested. Any race restrictions?
No tigers!
GASP
Just kidding. I’ll try and keep my anti-tiger prejudice to myself ;-)
Putting Issi together at the moment as an adept. Question on that: Adept specifies Wisdom casting because its 'cleric-lite', my wis is currently 8 with the young penalty, can I cast off Charisma instead since I'm going oracle? If not I can adjust the stat points but I'd prefer to do it this way. :)
I need to remember this is hard mode, I keep wanting to use the quarterstaff as a double weapon but that is way to many attributes into Dex for too little gain, IMO.
spectre, are you still around?
So the creation rules as I see them so far:
young template, NPC classes only
20 point buy
150 starting gp
2 hero points
Is that right? What about traits?
So here's Kevin again. This time with gear and as a NPC class. Summoner will be the direction he'll be going in.

2 days, no GM. I'm not so interested.
Sorry, I got unexpectedly busy towards the end of the week. Looking back over the thread, it looks like we currently have:
Ythiel -
Bloodpaw - Yume, a young Kitsune and aspiring Sorceress
Ant360 - Raggnor, Half-Orc kid who likes bugs?
Merddyn - Liam Hode, 12 years old, son of Ivan the Fool
Granta -
Sodium Telluride -
Nikolaus de'Shade - Issi 'Flamehair, 10 years old
Ammon Knight of Ragathiel - Kryas Azrin, Half-Elf 13 years old (Sylvan Sorcerer)
Raltus -
MrStr4ng3 - Finn Dawkins, 16 year old Halfling Rogue/Thief type? / Donovan Drake, Aasimar Warrior
Speaker for the Dead - Kevin, a young Varisian who will soon be a summoner
GM spectre- you didn't answer my third question! Are the PCs special? If so, how? If not, how are you justifying a 12 year old reaching mid-levels and taking on huge terrifying monsters?
Also, you didn't really answer my first: what specifically starts the adventure?
Also, clarifying character generation: traits? HP? Starting level? Alignment restrictions? Race restrictions? Allowed material?
As I mentioned earlier, the PCs become 'special' over the course of the adventure. I would expect it to happen fairly early on, around level 2 or so. If you want to learn more about how the adventure is structured, I recommend the Reign of Winter Player's Guide, which explains a lot about the starting town, Heldren. As the adventure starts, there is unnaturally cold weather in Heldren, which is located in Southern Taldor (and is thus usually quite warm).
Any response to Issi casting off Charisma rather than Wisdom? Just waiting on that to finish my submission
Sorry, I missed that question. It should be fine to cast off of CHA.
Donovan is the son of the charcoal burner. His father, a former adventurer, tells him tails of his past when thee are alone in the woods.
Neither his mother or father are aware of his lineage. Nor have the taken note of the fact that the boys whole life at least one crow has watched him every moment.

So the PCs are hired as adventurers to go investigate a caravan which gets attacked? And you won't explain ahead of time what makes the children special enough to be adventurers?
For now, let's try to set a date of Friday the 22nd for completed character applications, then.
Here is my Warrior, would-be Chosen one Paladin, Shy kid from the sticks. Gullible, Brave and Loyal
Looks nice. I'm going to go ahead and pre-approve Issi, Yume, Raggnor, and Donovan. All four are completed characters, and would fit in wonderfully. I'm keeping spots open for at least a couple more characters, as I think these kids would do well with a numerical advantage.

I don’t see why not.

Here is Horvan, a human warrior with an awkward and developing connection to occult items. Its not his fault really. Its just that sometimes when he picks something up it speaks to him. That scare him and he usually puts the thing right back down.
Horvan is only years old. He still has some growing to do and although pretty strong for his size he barely fits into his older brother's armor. He can lift his brother's sword though. And now that his brother had gone and become a scribe he likely will not want any if his old adventuring gear back.
Horvan is pretty smart and does well in the small school His folks were well traveled and were always going on about learning and even spoke multiple languages at home.

Here's a complete Liam Hode. If you need more, please let me know.
Okay, it's Friday, so recruitment is officially closed. I'd love to take everyone, so...I decided to just do that. Liam, Kryas, Horvan, and Henyan, come on in! I usually find a party of 6 is fine in RL games, and I imagine 8 will be decent insurance against TPKs and such. Thanks for your interest, everybody!
Cool. Reporting in momentarily.
