Variant MultiClass.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/character-advancement/
But it actually is only interesting when combined with regular multiclassing, which is not really the original intention.
Also, I saw the first mesmerist coming up, and I also really like the occult classes. Are they allowed?
Gorthug uses Dex to Hit and Con for damage. I’d prefer Unchained as it gives him +2 Hit and +2 Damage in close combat.
Normal range gives him -2 Hit and +2 damage in close combat and ranged, as well as -2 AC and +2 Will. Which is...meh.
Is that a core or base class?
Oh, and two more questions.
If we can all rage as a first level barbarian...
- would that be an unchained barbarian, or an old one?
- does that mean we can take the extra rage feat to rage more?

Ok...
I'm thinking, so far, about creating a character with an animal companion and at least one level in Spiritualist (totem spiritualist)
This makes the animal companion into a phantom animal, and the archetype specifically states "A phantom animal is otherwise considered a phantom for the purposes of all feats and abilities."
What it doesn't say, however, is that the phantom animal would no longer be considered an animal companion for the purposes of all feats and abilities. And there are so many such feats and class features I'd like to use, that if that isn't the case, I'll be dropping that part of the concept.
So, my question to you, GM, is: would it still be considered an animal companion? Or only a phantom?
So this is basically Tomb of Horrors as Danganronpa or vice versa? Interesting. How do you feel about a character who refuses to play the game as intended and tries to keep everyone from killing each other? It would probably put a huge target on his back, but the challenge, and potential payoff, might be worth it. I'm also something of a contrarian at times and this is one of them.
The monk build isn't coming together quite as nicely as I'd hoped--even with decent stats, it's tough to get him to a place I'd like, especially since gear gets expensive fast. That said, I'm still going to be working on some manner of nonlethal build (maybe we can be pacifist buddies, Radiant!), so I'll keep things up to date.
EDIT: Actually, I may switch it up entirely if I get another good concept and build going. We probably don't need two peaceful contrarians in the group, in any case.
i wont say no to someone attempting to play a PC that refuses to play the game, but yeah, as you said, it would put a huge target on your back. Both by the games master (Not me, the DM, the NPC overseeing this event) and by other players that are willing to play the game to earn their freedom.
Think I might rebuild as a Primalist Bloodrager. Why?
Lvl 5 Feat:
Death Curse Tarn:
“Benefit(s): The character channels the power of a tarn linnorm. The character’s melee attacks deal an additional 1 point of acid damage. If the character is knocked unconscious or killed by an attack or spell, the attacker suffers the curse of death (Will negates).
Curse of Death: save Will DC 10 + 1/2 character’s level + character’s Charisma bonus; effect target is no longer affected by healing spells and can’t heal damage naturally by resting.”
Lvl 8 two rage powers.
Death Curse Tor:
“Benefit(s): The character channels the power of a tor linnorm. The character’s melee attacks deal an additional 1 point of fire damage. If the character is knocked unconscious or killed by an attack or spell, the attacker suffers the curse of boiling blood (Will negates).
Curse of Boiling Blood: save Will DC 10 + 1/2 character’s level + character’s Charisma bonus; effect target gains vulnerability to fire and is permanently staggered from the pain of its boiling blood (this is a pain effect).”
Death Curse Cairn:
“The character channels the power of a cairn linnorm. The character’s melee attacks deal an additional 1 point of negative energy damage. If the character is knocked unconscious or killed by an attack or spell, the attacker suffers the curse of decay (Will negates).
Curse of Decay: save Will DC 10 + 1/2 character’s level + character’s Charisma bonus; effect target takes 1 point of Con damage per day and ages at a rate of 1 year per day (eventually incurring all of the penalties of old age but none of the bonuses)”
Betray him and knock him unconcscious? Kill him? 3 will saves or be cursed!

Sounds scary, Gorthug ;)
Despite his half-human ancestry, Zorgax managed to achieve considerable respect when he was send away to survive the wilderness for a month as part of his initiation, and returned with a tamed Rullian Warcat, named Trox, at his side, and a vicious falcon, named Raz, on his shoulder. As a raider and a devout worshipper of the ancestors, Zorgax lived for the plunder. It was on such an outing that his party was killed, and he came to his current predicament. Raz survived this, but Trox didn’t. Trox, however, never left. During his long moments of unconsciousness, undoubtedly watched over by loyal Raz, the Red Claw ancestors instructed him how to keep Trox’s spirit near, and taught him the way of the spiritualist. Perhaps now stronger than ever, armed with Raz once again on his shoulder, and Trox’s spirit harboured in his soul, Zorgax looks around at where he is and who his teammates/competitors are, Trox’s form already taking shape slowly beside him.
A desire burns in his soul to be free and take vengeance on whoever did this to him and his tribe.

Hope you like him, GM :)
He's been a day's work :D
I still have to decide on my level 1 potions, and I'll probably want arrows, a belt, some pouches, a signal whistle, and the like. But nothing that can't wait.

I might have another look at items, the boots of speed are an odd and expensive choice. But that too, would be details :D
And the cestus is a remnant from when I had a brawler level.
Actually I'm going to tweak a whole lot more... Never mind me.
Overall description, background and concept will stand, though :D
it looks like we have a lot of players tweaking their pcs just to have the right amount of backstabbing the backstabber, which is fine in this setting.
So i am going to keep this recruitment open through the rest of this week to give everyone an opportunity to tweak their PC just right.
But remember, not only do you have to be the last one standing, you have to make it through the dungeon.
Alright - all crunch is officially done. I may swap around a few spells in the spell book or skill ranks once we see what the party looks like, to help make us an effective party. But this is a good starting point. I have an alias ready to go, but I prefer not to post until accepted that way I can reskin the alias into a future submission if necessary.

Background: Walay is a Korvosian orphan that grew up on the streets, using stealth and guile to make ends meet. When he decided to attempt to steal from the Temple of Nethys, the temple guards (called the Everwatch) apprehended him and brought him before the temple matron to determine his fate. During his interview, the matron found him to have a sharp, but undisciplined mind and felt he would likely make an apt pupil if given proper instruction and boundaries. Thus it was that he became a ward and pupil of the Knowing Academy.
The poor circumstances of his youth made him the target of ridicule and jealousy among the other novitiates. Many families paid large sums of money to send their children to the Knowing Academy, and here was a street urchin that had room and board provided for him. Most of his fellow students found it unbearable. For Walay's part, he did little to win them over to his side. He focused on his studies and his street smarts carried him through all but the worst of scrapes.
Walay began at school late, and for the first semester or two found that he was behind his fellow students, especially in matters of arcane knowledge and practice. However, as soon as he learned a new magical skill, he found that his natural talent with it would often equal or surpass those of his classmates. This would often intensify their jealousy. [OOC]Trait: Magical Knack.
Upon graduation from the Knowing Academy Walay volunteered to be one of the novitiates that would travel the world and gather information to bring back. In this way he found ways to continue his study and grow his own talents without having to interact with the other graduates who by then well and truly hated him.
Walay joined a travelling group of adventures that called themselves Thorne. The loose organization of unlikely heroes were primarily in it for the money, and found good use of Walay's skills to steal into dungeon and barrow alike to pilfer the treasures within. This last mission they bit off more than they could chew though, and it was just by the power of his wizardry that Walay was able to escape. When both of the melee specialists in his party fell finished he cast invisibility on himself and hid. When the healer of their party tried to save her fallen comrades she two found the power of their foe to be overwhelming and fell as well. Seeing his friends dead at his invisible feet, Walay cast expeditious retreat and ran from the encounter. Having seperated himself from the situation he stopped to lean on a tree and catch his breath. When the invisibility wore off, a bag with a strange smell of peppermint and sage was slipped over his head. He had trouble breathing and fell unconscious.
Description/b] Walay (Pronounced Wah-lay, like Wally with a long 'ah' sound.) Is a skinny human male standing 6'tall. He has blond hair that is faint, almost white and eyes that are dark grey and nearly devoid of color altogether. A dark backpack that lays flat on his back as if it is empty.
The fletching of crossbow bolts stick out of quivers on both of his legs and a dagger with a fine looking hilt sits at his waist on his belt. On close inspection hints of dagger hilts can also be seen in the tops of his boots and peeking out from underneath the sleeves of his shirt. A crossbow is slung over one should and rests at his hip.
A magical circlet adorns his head and a fine looking cloak droops down from his shoulders.
[b]Personality: Walay is an accomplished wizard with some capability when it comes to thievery and skulduggery. He is willing to make friends and alliances that serve his interests, but in his book the needs of the individual (and specifically him) out weigh the needs of the other or the group. If someone staying alive will increase his chances of survival he will fight within reason to make that happen. If someone dying will increase his chances of survival he has no compunctions against making that happen either.
Using one of my feats on Additional Traits Not technically needed for the build, but I like having reactionary and orphan to help with some of his weak points.
If GM says no to the feat I can certainly drop them and find something else to do with the feat slot that would free up.
Wish I had noticed those formatting mistakes earlier. That tag mess is awful.
It looks like it it’s only the three of us so far with submitted builds. it’s going to be quite a tense game if it’s only three people.
Color me interested.
Profile is still a work in progress, but wanted to post in to show that I'm still here, wrapping up work on Rashed Al-Amin, a swift-footed champion of Sarenrae who refuses to kill unless absolutely necessary! Things are somewhat barebones at the moment, but should give a good idea of the character; more small purchases and explanations of option choices to come.
so, heres who submitted a completed character:
Viondar: Zorgax the brutal inquisitor
Helix: Rashed Al-amin human paladin
nairb the grey: walay sikulu rogue/wiz/arcane trickster
sashaa: Halfling Mesmerist
Gorthug: half-orc elemental annihilator
lets get this killfest started, shall we?
gamethread is now open
Sounds good to me.
Looks like we will be relying on Zorgax and Rashed for healing if any healing is going to be given. That should be fun.
