Will spend the rest of the gold when i get back from work. was on lunch
quick question, if paladins can use lay on hands on themselves as a swift action, may i use touch of corruption on myself as a swift action?
Awesome. Thanks. Staying power
I will submit a paladin to his anti paladin! Think of the moral issues! Haha. Probably not, will most likely submit a monk of some form or another.
So when you say templates are allowed you mean in exchange for a level right? You may want to not allow the simple advanced template its too good not to take for 1 level. How do you want to do the templates that scale with HD I assume you will just need to not level when hitting the new HD that makes it scale.
I might go with an idea I've been toying with for a while, an Aasimar Swashbuckler1/sorceror 1/Eldritch Knight 1. Probably be NG and have Celestial bloodline (not the best, but thematic).
decided I will be going fighter1/samurai2 to start, he is the same guy I played in my IRL game, at the end he was 15 sam/5fighter with gloves of dueling, did really well. This time I think he will focus on the naginata though. also, are drawbacks allowed?
Thoughts, thoughts, fun fun thoughts.

I'm bringing Caleb Derekson, Lv. 3 Fighter (Two-Handed) over to the party. I'll revamp his stats to fit with your prerequisites and shoot them back into the thread within the hour.

I can't get my head around this character concept without making it too cheesy. I'm gonna have to withdraw; If I get another idea, I'll resubmit but otherwise I'm out of it, I'm afraid.
Ill join if able. ill play a Lawful Evil Tiefling rouge (poisoner) 3
He will be Horcas Toblin, poisoner extrodonaire
changing to knifemaster with the talent black market connections.
stats:
STR: 14 (base 14)
Dex 18 (base 16) (+2 racial)
Con 14 (base 14)
Int 16 (base 14) (+2 racial)
Wis 10 (base 10)
Cha 8 (base 10) (-2) racial
So if I get the premise right. We start off fighting in an arena, but might find a way at some point to break out.
Sounds interesting.
I have a few questions though :
- What do you mean with "All races that do not require a level adjustment template are allowed(except anything from the Underdark for campaign obvious reasons)." Do you mean all core, uncommon & featured races from paizo as long as they're not primarily from the Underdark? Or am I reading this wrong?
- If one would make a Tiefling or Aasimar, would they be allowed to change out their racial SLA for one of the other options on the Variant ability table? If so, does one need to roll for it or can they just pick what they want (within reason)
- Do you have any reservations against the Master Summoner Archetype of the Summoner class? Have wanted to try it out in PbP format. As I think it would work better here than in real life play.
- What is your opinion on the Infernal Healing spell? Does it make you evil if you use it? Just curious as I was thinking of making a good aligned summoner and was wondering if this spell would be a problem.
Ok This is my submission
Here Is Horcas Toblin. No loner the rouge but a better version of him. thought we needed fire power, in the form of a tank. An ultimate tank to become salwart defender or hellknight if allowed later in the game http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/e-h/hellknight
Probably wont happen but if i could...

OK, I'm back.
I have an idea for a blockbuster Arcanist I'd like to try out, have put together a rough draft on paper and will adapt it to an old character that never got used much (Magnus Tate - a blockbuster Sorceror). Background will be similar, though stats will change.
Basically, in an encounter he will cast Vanish, lay down some battlefield control via Grease and Silent Image then pop out an enhanced Burning Hands (Fireball at later levels) for 5d4 damage. Round about level 8 he will take a level of wizard to get the admixture school powers and then its Fireball (or acidball, shockball or iceball) time.
Ooh, this looks interesting. Dot slash hyphen.
Redone!

Go magnus. I will be glad for the help. And I am the tank. not just a fighter but the super tank. Well ill be fine with the help. i will survive like i do. be there yes pleae itll help, but survive and u might find a useful ally in me. i dont plan to die. nor will it be easy.
sorry was getting into character :) thanks magnus
I wonder how crazy or bad it would be to create a life oracle or something similar. I'll try it anyway.
.
Good answer.
I will take care o the big BaB creatures as long as i can. Ifi start losing hit points well i got a lot so the beasties will have to try harder. Effectively the big ones i will see about cornering, drawing their attention and holding them off while you guys kill the little ones. my character would make that clear with some insults thrown to thoes who don't understand his philosophy. Besides its great for RP cause if he can hold off an ogre or even a group of people and not get hit for 3-4 rounds (built something similar and was almost never hit, sent up againts the giants and the huge groups of baddies to hold them off), then his father, the pit fiend, will have some pride in the son he raised.

Ok, right now I'm thinking of a channelbot cleric.
N Aasimar cleric of Balance with the Healing and Death domains, Selective and Versitile Channeling as feats, I can heal our Dhamphir friend as well as our more living compatriots. Similarly I can blast the living and the dead into oblivion. Not going to be the sharpest pencil in the box, but my control over energy will give me the recognition I deserve.

Still working on his background, but the basics would be that he is an adventurer, relying partly on the skills of his eidolon to get him past traps and the help of his summons and allies to get him through fights and other such difficulties.
He will mostly try to stay in the back, plopping up flanking buddies for his allies and shooting at enemies with his crossbow, acid splash or daze (monster) depending on the situation.
Feedback is appreciated :-)

Step 1 - background and concept
1. Anselm is a dutykeeper, effectively a political officer of the inquisition branch of the church. His main purpose was enforcing oaths and seeing to it that promises are fulfilled, debts are paid, and contracts are kept. He also exacts punishment on those that break their oaths and, to a lesser extent, those who shirk their responsibilities.
2. He has retired from active duty due to a political disagreement but still acts as an enforcer of the law, often mediating arguments and contracts.
3. He takes promises very seriously and will never make one unless he intends to go through with it. Though not necessary, he makes a certain braid on his beard for every promise he makes.
4. He is an orphan of the church and studied under the teachings of Torag, growing under the philosophy of making your own way through life.
5. He is unskilled in social customs and traditions. He tries to follow them, understanding them to be unspoken agreements, but gets into thinking that they should always be followed.
Step 2 - goals
1. Anselm dreams of making a grand oath like those of heroes and kings, one he can make without regret.
2. As a player, I think it'd be interesting to see Anselm face situations where he can exercise his role as a dutykeeper.
Step 3 - secrets
1. Anselm was directly involved in a scandal in his church, one that required him to keep silent about the actions of a political figure despite him breaking his oaths. In the end, punishment was not done and his silence was ordered. As a result, Anselm left active duty in disgust.
2. The breaking of the oath was for the greater good of the community, but Anselm was unaware of this information. It was a choice between the lives of many or the promise of one.
Step 4 - people
1. Theodric Drumthorp is a priest of Torag and a childhood friend to Anselm. They were both orphans taken in by the church and it is he who broke his oath for the greater good. Anselm's memories of him are bittersweet.
2. Agrin Firebeater is a warrior and smith and is a mentor to Anselm. He was the one who taught Anselm combat though he doesn't know much about religion.
3. Eadin Ironbraid is a guard and watchman. He is bitter towards Anselm after receiving salary cuts from being caught shirking his duties by him one too many times.
Step 5 - memories, mannerisms, quirks
1. The first promise he made was before he became an orphan and entered the church. It was to his mother, on her deathbed: to live for her and never look back.
2. Like many dwarves, he is very fond of alcohol. Unlike those dwarves, he consciously never drinks enough to get drunk but rather to get a mild buzz.
3. His love life is lacking due to his insistence on commitment.
Ranged attacks, healing, and support. Anselm is straightforward as an archer and can prioritise soft targets like mages and other archers or help gang up on an enemy from afar. This is where he shines and is good for.
He also serves as a secondary caster. He can prepare any spell on the cleric spell list but he usually prepares support spells. He doesn't have many spells slots but he can convert them into healing when needed. His blessings are for support and fervor means he can quickly cast spells as swift actions, making for good turn economy.
He has good AC and HP so he can perform as a tank, either going into melee or staying behind with other casters. His melee itself is just okay but he would make a good switch-hitter, wading into melee using his armor spikes but still holding on to his bow.
Outside of combat, he doesn't have much utility due to low skill points and a small number of spell slots. He can use spells for this but it will use up precious slots.
I'd also like to bring up that there's table variation up to the GM whether or not a warpriest can use fervor to cast a cure spell as a swift action, convering another prepared spell that is not cure in the process. If it is accepted, that means he's also good for emergency healing.

After that, came months of physical training, training that pushed Derick to and past the limits of his body. Many a time he had contemplated running away, even life as an urchin must be better than this! But, whether through sheer stubbornness or fate, he stayed. He was taught about the history of the arts he would learn, and taught much in the way of arts. Finally, a year after he agreed to go with the wanderer, after he held true to those edicts he wrote long ago. He was given a wooden sword and taught his first techniques. The movements came easy to him, and he learned at a rapid level. His year of hard work was paying off. Always there was a twinkle in his eye, whether learning the blade, or learning the art. At the age of 17, Akio, Derick’s master told him it was now time for him to have his first blade. At first Derick thought it would be given to him. But the next day, they entered into a large smithy, and Akio began to teach Derick the art of smithing. For weeks Derick toiled and learned, he learned how to meld the metal, how to make it bend and fold. Finally, a month later, with the help of Akio, he forged a blade, it was crude, and a tad brittle. Derick while proud of his work, longed for better. He toiled for yet more weeks, and finally, 2 months after his first lesson, created his very own blades. They were of excellent quality, surprising even his master, Akio. He learned to fight with katana and naginata, using the speed of one, and the strength and length of the other. He was taught to fight from horseback, and how to use his knees to direct and steer the animal. It would be on the plains where he would catch, and tame his own stallion, and soon forge of strong bond of friendship with it. Life was grand for Derick, he had come to see Akio not only as a teacher, and master, but as a father. Then, on his 19th birthday, His Sensai disappeared. All that was left was a single handwritten parchment.
-You have learned all you can as of now under my wing, it is time you went out and led your own life, made your own decisions, truly, your own. Gather the experiences of life under your belt, expose yourself to the wonderful, and dreadful things of this world. Grow rich and strong from the experiences, and fear not. For you when are ready to continue further, you will find me. Until then, take this ring as my parting gift, and may it always shine a light for you, and remind you of your duty.
That was 2 years ago, Derick has experienced much of the world since then, living as he had with Akio, as a wanderer, coming into town, and always changing a life before he left. Slight changes had overtaken the young man, a sense of need to prove himself, to continuously sharpen and hone his martial skills and a need to ever onward find more dangerous and challenging foes to ever more test his resolve, the way of the wandering warrior, The path that defies destiny. That is the path he walks. It is the hardest of all paths to undertake, but is always the most fulfilling to those that navigate its perilous trenches. The way of the Ronin.

I think you misunderstood Cricket's question. PFS is Pathfinder Society and normally the characters created under the Pathfinder Society section are reserved for that. But in practice I've seen people use Society aliases in non-Society games so it's not that strict of a rule :)
About the lessened Eidolon. I know that I have to watch out with him, but in the beginning he won't have him out much. As you can see, the Eidolon is mostly geared as a trap detector/disabler & lockpicker. And will get more skills later on. So he's sort of like a "pocket rogue", but he's also a treasured ally & friend (will become clear in the background :)) so he won't throw him into combat unless absolutely necessary.

Kaui Wu found he liked traveling. When he heard about the distant lands on the farside of the world he decided he had to see it for himself.
kaui Wu eventually found his way to kyonin. He found a warm welcome among the elves. His personality being a good match to the elves. He spent a couple of years living in Kyonin. Elf women are nice to look at and their brothers don't get nearly so angery. Kaui Wu learned a great deal from the elves. Among the things he learned was how to use the long slender elven saber (elven curve blade is a stupid name), and being the dabbler that he is Kaui Wu even learned a bit of magic from the elves.
Kaui Wu eventually got bore with the elves and set out to find what else these far off lands had to offer.
His adventures in Avistan have been fairly profitable, though most of the profit has been from other peoples belonging s finding their way into Kaui Wu's posession.
Kaui Wu had just recently arrived in Absalom and decided to stay in the city for a while and see what fun there was to be had.
