Here's the character sheet for Duran Vesik, Human Bloodrager, for your consideration.
Dotting
Hello. I created this character (Human (Tian-Min) Bard: Lotus Geisha) for another Jade Regent recruitment (20 pt buy, "romantic version" of the AP) but was unsuccessful in getting selected. I am eager to play this AP and would like to put forward Kasumi for your consideration. I've made her level 2. If I need to amend any of the other crunch for your game, I'm happy to do so.
Thanks kindly. :)
Looks like the current players are an unchained monk, cleric of Sarenrae, and ninja. I did not go so far as to decipher any deviation from traditional builds. Arcane caster seems to be a mostly what they need, followed by a tank.
I'm on the fence about applying. I did in the original recruitment but one of the draws would be playing with Caine, whose leaving prompted this recruitment.
Hello, Mightypions suggestion here.
Urban Skald, which should synergize with everyone, add arcane magic, lots of knowledge rolls, spell kenning at level 5, UMD as class skill, face abilities and will be build dex-centric-dodgy so can stand in the front lines reasonably well, although her DPR will be lacking until she picks up agile weapons.
She is kind of themed on being a female Edgar Alan Poe/ Alexandr Puschkin, and will likely run down the spirit totem line, because pounce is boring but friendly spirits are imho pretty fun.
I have the following questions:
--HP? According to PFS?
--Any variant rules such as elephant in the room/Background traits etc. active?
--Number of traits, are drawbacks allowed?
--Can be narratively difficult to put in existing relationship with an NPC character, as mine would be an Urban Skald, perhaps she becomes something akin to a chronicler for Ameiko?
--Average WBL for level 2?
|
I have built an Elven Arcanist to put in for this. I will wait to see the answers to the questions Alexandra asked before I post.
Question- Do you want us to pick NPC's that we are involved with using the Campaign Traits or leave that open until after you select? This kind of effects how much backstory you may want.
Prospective spell list:
--Grease because of course.
--Moment of greatness due to it being really good, since my inspired DEX bonus is morale.
--Tears to wine because its quite the sizeable skill bonus and the long duration, I believe party is struggling here?
Prospective skills:
--Perform oratory for Diplomacy and Sense motive, to include bluff later (level 7)
--UMD
--3 levels in acrboatics for better defensive fighting
--Knowledge skills that are currently missing.
--A bit of perception
Character quirks:
--Partly based on Puschkin, so she will generally accept duels, even if it is a bad idea. Puschkin participated in 30ish or so, and famously died in one.
--May have been exiled for unflattering poetry on ruler figures, ended up in sandpoint and hooked up with Ameiko? I do not know jade regent and have never played it.
--Gets displeased when called a necromancer on account of her spirit abilities she will pick up at level 3.
--Will occassionally make "I see dead people" jokes
--Will seek to Monkey Island style insult duel intelligent enemies who earned it. Cannot guarantee that it will rhyme much.
Yeah, I might change the backstory up if we need to be connected to an NPC.
If you don't necessarily need a bard archetype, I'm happy to withdraw Kasumi Kiku and create an Unchained Rogue to help with trapfinding. I'll put something together for your consideration.
With a Skald on the list would you have any interest for an Eldrith Scoundrel too? Additional skills and magic? I've been wanting to try building one.
Took a while to find the original recruitment thread for details.
Correct?
Hope that helps.
If you are still using the Campaign traits for the replacements, is Student Survivalist still open? I'm thinking I'd choose elf for race and that one is about the only one that does anything.
Hi, GM. :) This is Ariarh Kane. I'm withdrawing my previous submission (Kasumi Kiku) and am applying with Nishara Dem, Female Elf Unchained Rogue for your consideration. The stats are finalised on her profile page. I will be adding the fluff soon.
Thanks, again. :)
I've put together a submission for you: Winsome Briskalberd, jumpy magic-user and adopted son of Sandpoint's resident locksmith.
Eldritch Scoundrel for Lemming.
15 point buy? Or 20? Used 20 but can adjust of course.
How much gold will we start with? 1st level? 2nd? Something else?
The other characters have 20 point buys.
I will need to update her for the right level still but I've applied to JR games in teh past with this one. She is a void wizard and eventually is intended to go into oracle and tehn Mystic Theurge. I can de-level her after work today.
Quite interested! I have plans for a dwarf wizard with an earthy theme, will sketch something out and refine based on further details about character creation.
Added spell list, parts of the background, has a strong motiviation to keep Ameiko alive, well, and under control of nothing but Ameikos own free will.
Alright--Tazo here with my submission. Please meet Muziel Moreau, Dwarven Wizard and his friend Trogs the Skunk!
I swear that a Dwarf Wizard is not as suboptimal as it sounds. Muziel is an Wizard specializing in Earth magic, with the Pact Wizard archetype. The Earth element is a nod to eastern themes, based on the five-element system (Wood, Earth, Water, Fire, and Metal). Dwarves have a trait that increase the caster level of Earth spells by 1 level. And the Mountain patron (through Pact Wizard) means he will be able to spontaneously cast various Stone spells as the game progresses! He'll cover all of the knowledge skills well, aided by the good-old Breadth of Experience feat. And he has a ton of HP for a Wizard, increasing survivability.
More details in the character profile. Thanks for your consideration!
Were background skills in use?
@Drogeny: Yes, background skills are in use.
Current skill list of the party (please correct if wrong):
best second best
Acrobatics: Hattori (9) Adrian (7)
Climb Adrian (7) Hattori (6)
Bluff Hattori (7)
Diplo Hattori (7)
DD Hattori (8)
Disguise Hattori (7)
Escape Hattori (8) Adrian (7)
Heal Zaraleva (7)
Perception Hattori (8) Adrian (7)
Sense motive Hattori (5)
Stealth Hattori (8) Adrian (7)
Swim Hattori 6
Missing knowledge skills:
Arcana, Planes, Dungeoneering, Engineering, Geography, Local, Nature.
All other knowledge skills are only at +5, with no option to assist, so I would say they are not really "covered".
Party has +7 on 2 face skills, lacks intimidate (imho not a big deal), no option to assist Mrs. Aiko in it.
Survival and UMD are both lacking, to a degree, survival can be done via knowledge nature and handle animal. UMD lack probably more of a big issue, as the only caster is currently a cleric.
Note that Aiko uses the family name-personal name format. The family name "Hattori" is swiped from the historical figure Hattori Hanzo, who is frequently cited as the most famous example of an actual ninja.
I would like to offer The Magician, Zomeraand for consideration as your replacement party member.
He was originally created for a Rise of the Runelords PbP that sputtered out shortly after the Swallowtail Festival.
I will flesh out his backstory once I have done a bit more reading on initial PC knowledge from the player's guide.
Let me know if there's anything that needs adjusting.
@Alexandra, I think you missed my CS.
Acrobatics: = +7
Disable Device: = +9
Escape Artist: = +7
Knowledge (arcana): = +7
Knowledge (dungeoneering): = +7
Knowledge (local): = +7
Perception: = +8
Sense Motive: = +5
Spellcraft: = +7
Stealth: = +8
Survival: = +7
UMD is only 4 but I am an arcane caster.

Ah! The login works finally.
Sorry @Alexandra. I misunderstood your list. I thought you were listing skills of the applicants, not those of the current party as an aid to those of us that want to join. Thank you for your work!
(Khah-THEEN Koo-RONE Shih-nih-VAH-nay)
I just noticed the link to the original post where you said no Occult classes. I had already typed this out, so...bugger it, I'm still submitting her, lol.
“My brother Rafe was a writer. Death, he wrote, death is what the living carry with them." Khatín pulls on her cigar a moment, looking off in the distance. "He was a good writer, too. A great one. Mother sent him to Magdalen Abbey in Trieste, on the south side of Korvosa for schooling. He would tell me the most amazing stories about 'The Swann Knight', 'The five-year siege of Manobrier', and 'The Traveler’s Love with one Lady Trent Meridal and their incredible adventures in the depths of Tian Xia, the lost continent'. He wrote books for all three stories eventually, although you know the last one as 'The Traveler’s many affairs,' which is the name it was published under.”
“I was conscripted by the Magnimar military a little over...a decade ago now when I was 17. Served with the 'Endworld Fiends', a kind of special teams unit. I was originally posted in the east country, in the Mushfens." Khatín cracks her neck, taking another long pull on the cigar. She flexes her left hand, looking at it. "We had run-ins with bandits, some tribes of goblins, and...other things. After one engagement, I was knocked unconscious in an explosion. Still haven’t gotten back to the peak performance I was at. Still don't know what caused it.” Her hand trembles slightly.
“While recovering, one night I was on a ship in Varisian Bay. I’d gone AWOL the night before, found myself a pretty half-elf woman who liked it rough. They’re still trying to punish me for that. Going AWOL, not the woman. Like that matters anymore. Like any of it matters. She and I stayed up, and I read her passages from his book, my brother's book, 'A forgery of love'." Khatín smiles wistfully. "A stupid romance about two androids from Numeria on opposite sides in the war between Issia and Rostland - before they became Brevoy, mind you - discovering each other and falling in love. Eventually, they meet each other in battle on the slopes of Mount Veshka. It was never published.”
“We...we woke to silence. A messenger found me with...the news. It seems so surreal now. My brother was in Korvosa, I guess. I don’t know. And he just...he’s not dead. He once wrote I carry death with me, like a dark memory I have yet to experience, like a deep depression over what might happen.”
So, other than maybe tweaking my 1st lvl feat between now and start Scera is done.
Here is Seinneadair's application, Jasper is an investigator that can serve as an arcane 3/4s caster and a skill monkey, he has trap finding, an assortment of knowledge, and is a competent frountliner. considering I wasn't really sure where the game is starting I kept my backstory pretty vague, as I learn more of where we are I may add to it if chosen.
I added Caravan guard as it was already in my backstory!
Campaign trait added. Mechanically akin to younger sibling, Ameiko.
Due to her background, it is a bit different though.
Nishara has already taken the Hero Worship: Shalelu campaign trait. :)
Last minute tinkering with items completed.
Possible character commonalities:
Sarenrae-ites and someone very strongly hoping that Nocticulas Redeemer queen thing is not just a plot (meaning Alexandra) do have some joint interests. Alexandra is Chaotic Good, but not that certain about her own goodness, and will lap up any praise from a clerically certified "do gooder".
Alexandra does pay her debts, if healed/saved she will get fiercely protective.
Both are performers, both are pretty pragmatic about using their looks. Should be a good source of banter. Also, stealth and face buddies.
It could also get interesting because Aiko is the person most likely to guess that Alexandra has some rather unusual motivation to keep Ameiko alive.
I think she will try to make him less anxious/awkward, but in a fairly mischevious way because of course she would.
She will likely figure out he has a crush on Ameiko, figure out that a strongly motivated extra bodyguard for Ameiko is a completely excellent idea from her perspective and try to play matchmaker/Cherub. She is Irriseni, so it would certainly involve Booze on her part.

Racial Abilities:

Class Abilities:
Studied Target: A slayer can study an opponent he can see as a move action. The slayer then gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks attempted against that opponent, and a +1 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against it. The DCs of slayer class abilities against that opponent increase by 1. A slayer can only maintain these bonuses against one opponent at a time; these bonuses remain in effect until either the opponent is dead or the slayer studies a new target.
If a slayer deals sneak attack damage to a target, he can study that target as an immediate action, allowing him to apply his studied target bonuses against that target (including to the normal weapon damage roll).
At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels, the bonuses on weapon attack rolls, damage rolls, and skill checks and to slayer DCs against a studied target increase by 1. In addition, at each such interval, the slayer is able to maintain these bonuses against an additional studied target at the same time. The slayer may discard this connection to a studied target as a free action, allowing him to study another target in its place.
At 7th level, a slayer can study an opponent as a move or swift action.
Slayer Talent
*Trapfinding: The slayer gains Disable Device as a class skill. The slayer also gains the trapfinding and trap sense rogue abilities, using his slayer level as his effective rogue level.

Here is his
When Sandru eventually returned with tails of his adventures Byron thought they sounded amazing and would be a great way to get out of the backwater town he had lived in his whole life. So he began looking for a group of adventurers similar to those his brother had found to travel with.
He can also track and help with finding places as I believe this campaign has a lot of traveling involved in it. He is not great at the knowledges for the most part, but will be able to act as a guide.
For some reason my girl's stats weren't right as I stuffed up the point buy calculations (I was rushing and didn't check properly, I think). I've now fixed up the crunchy bits on Nish's sheet. Sorry about that and thanks!
:)

I want to thank everyone for your submissions. I liked them all and this is a tough decision.
Congratulations to the following characters:
Winsome Briskalberd and Byron Vhiski.
Please PM me if you require any additional information. You join the group as they investigate a magicians tower just to the north and east of the city of Crying Leaf which is located at the southeast corner of the Mierani Forest.
Sadface, good luck and much fun to everyone!
Good luck!

Five magnificent characters have lost their way. We just reached third level and the town of B**********. We need a DM to guide us the rest of the way through the A.P. please.
