Yes go a head and give it another go on rolls that is fine
Thinking about a Bendelfrudden (high Gnome) artificer (Snake oil salesman)
Just finished reading the Cylopedia Zyathica Vol. 1 and there are rules for the "blood touched" in that I will use. Basically you get 10% chance to be a blood touched. These come with various abilities, however there is some social repercussions to being one. If you really would rather not be one I will let you decline, however if you are able to be one I will let you pick the kind.
… Nope
I'm thinking wizard at the moment, need to reread the races again.
Actually that rogue/illusionist custom class is interesting. Where can I find full crunch for those new classes and races? Is it volume 1 of the cyclopedia?

The Cylopedia Vol.1 has the races. I don't have the player guide yet just the free primer. I'll probably get the player guide later in the week.
*Edit actually there are 3 free classes on their website. Spelldancer, Agent of Jinxx and Frenta. Link to site under campaign tab
First pass at my character. Still needs to be modified for the setting... but the mechanics should be good.
Hmm, well those custom classes were a bit too 3pp-ish for me but interesting. Probably just sticking with full on illusionist.
Are variant humans allowed? I want to start with Actor and the extra skill will also help.

Thanks Looks good.
@Mishima variant humans are allowed, there are some in the setting. What did you have in mind?
I just wanted to be able to start the game with Actor feat. I like the mimicry ability it enables on illusionist wizard. Probably high deception with some roguish skills on the side, but pure wizard class.
Backstory wise, I wanted to revise an old character idea that only had a few posts of play here years ago. Basically my character was responsible for a major accident where thousands of people died, but wasn't morally strong enough to turn self in. To avoid capture she created a new identity including spending everything on a Gender Bending potion to become a man. Joining the circus might be part of that too and now pays the bills with entertaining illusions/theatre.

Sure that is fine.
Here is the crunch for my submission...
Looks good.
So far I have
Roland Variant-Human Rogue from Daniel
Ichabod Silverbottom Rock Gnome Artificer from Scranford
Mishima is working on a Variant Human Rogue/Illusionist of some sort.
Zyathe has languages like many other worlds (Common, Elvish, Orkish ect) There are languages for the new races like Aethyrian. The planes are a bit different in this setting and from what I have read so far I do not see something specific related to shadowplane language. For now you can use Umbral, but if something more appropriate comes up as I go through this material I will let you know.
Bump!

Hmm...that 2nd set is really quite good. I suppose I should come up with something. First thoughts point me toward a half-elf bard, putting +1's with the 15 and one of 13's and the +2 with one of the 16's, that gives me:
STR: 14
DEX: 16
CON: 16
INT: 13
WIS: 13
CHA: 18
I'll get to work on the rest after I read through the player's primer.
Blood touched? - Nope
Nope
Which sources are accepted?
Also, I can't seem to find this player primer, only the first chapter of the campaign to be bought.

Talomyr ?
jereru ?
Yeah, still having a look at the primer and the new classes.
@scranford: what kind of Artificier do you have in mind?
I was probably going Alchemist.
Oh, awesome... cause I had an Armorer melee/tank in mind...
A pity we don't have access to these new races. I'll try with variant human or custom lineage meanwhile, and my character will be an apprentice to the troupe's mechanic, with the intention to become a tank once he hits 3rd level and gets to pick his archetype.
Also, in which part of the world is the game taking place?
Yes still recruiting until Aug 7th.
Sam is the current apprentice of the troupe smith. The boy wasn't originally a Blue Veil, but was found by the troupe years ago, the sole survivor of a family that had fallen prey to some raiders.
He showed a knack for crafts, and has learned many ways to return the favour to the troupe. He's bound to be the next chief craftsman, dedicating his life to the collective well-being.
Sam has mixed blood, though his Aethyr features are far from obvious. He could be mistaken for a regular, cheerful blond guy. In any case, this hasn't been a problem in the Blue Veils, who have treated him like one more, and whether it was a problem with his old family is something Sam has already forgotten.
Even though he's not the strongest guy around, he's quite brave, and won't hesitate to put himself in peril to defend you once you gain his heart.
Two artificers in the same party?
Yes. Consulting with scranford, he said he would go Alchemist, while I will go Armorer. The two seem different enough to me to not pose a problem. But, of course, of there's a problem with that, I'm flexible enough to change the character.

In the campaign Tab I have added some things. Most notable is the Dramatis Persona spoiler that has many of the main adult members of the troupe listed. This might be helpful when crafting a backstory.
So, Dren and Calva Stelle seem a nice couple which has taken Sam under their wings while the kiddo learns the family craft.
Thanks to his skill, Sam can make little souvenirs to sell during the carnivals, like badges, miniatures or toys.
After reading the player's primer, I think I will bow out on this one.
Happy gaming to all still involved.
Recruitment is still open until the 7th for anyone else interested in trying out this 3rd party Campaign that seems to be pretty epic proportions.

Could do with a divine caster type, and perhaps a nature savy type. I am willing to go into this heavy knowing people will drop off as is a standard reality on these boards.

Dotting for interest…
I would bring a swarmkeeper ranger to the troupe.
Story on short:
No one remembers how long the Pigeon Lady has been around. It just feels she’s always been there, tending her birds. While she herself would never be on the stage, the birds always attract crowd. Outside the shows, people tend to avoid the strange woman, which suits her fine. And everyone knows better than try to hurt her birds…
I’ll think about the crunch soon, once I have access to proper computer. She would most likely be a melee / close range fighter unless there’s too many already in the group. In any case, would fill the nature-savy slot :)
Ok sounds good Karma
Yay, a melee ranger. I only get to see bazooka guys, that's nice for a change.

Ok, the crunch is here: Rooks
Notes:
- I took Favored Foe from TCoE instead of Favored enemy
- Background is Frenta from GooeyCube
- Swarmkeeper archetype comes into play at 3rd level, so the birds are pure fluff at this point
- I'm not 100% decided with the feat right now. Depends on what kind of combat style I'll be taking. I'll take a better look at the other characters to see if the group needs something in particular.
I also changed the background a bit - this is a younger version of a 'bird lady'. Better match for her stats, and maybe a better fit for an epic campaign.
But the damage was already done. Eleanor shied away from other people and found comfort only in the wilds and in animals. Birds in particular were her favourite. They offered companionship without caring how big or odd she looked. And for whatever reason, the birds seemed to like her as well. Eleanor and her black birds - wherever she went, the birds came as well. And people noticed that, and knew that where black birds were gathered, the strange girl wouldn’t be far. “I see Rooks a-coming”, they said. And that name stuck.
By chance or fate, a Carnivalle came near her town one day. Seeing all those wonders and the strange people of the Blue Veil troupe, Rooks immediately knew the troupe would be where she belongs. Without hesitation she left her family and joined the troupe, where Selvra took her under her wing, recognising Rooks connection with the wild. But to earn her keep, she must work. And while she is trying to teach her birds to perform for audience, it is easier said than done. So for now, she just helps Selvra in tending her beasts. Although Borag has said she could take part in the strongman shows whenever she would like…
That's actually the feat I'm to take at level 4. I'm no prophet, but I can see tons o'dice a-rollin'! XD
Greetings! This seems like a interesting world to become involved with.

Interesting. The first block is strictly better in most regards, but it doesn't reach the height or fall as low in the second block. I think it would probably fit better to go with what I had in mind to go the first one, in this case.
In regards to class, I was thinking of playing a Divine Soul Sorcerer, which should line up nicely with the need for a cleric type.
For performances within the Blue Veil Troupe, I was considering a suite consisting of: balance, acrobalance, aerial hoop, aerial silk, and aerial straps. So for the background it would be something to give both Acrobatics and Athletics.
Hmm, it is a bit late where I am to write up a fullbackground but I have gone over the Player's Primer Secrets of Zyathé. So far as race is concerned I'm looking between Kalashtar, or perhaps an aethyr, which sounds close to what I had in mind.
Later, once things had calmed down they questioned the boy. He could not recall who he was, nor his family, and only has a vague recollection that he came from somewhere south. Ghost was a name given to him, partly as a joke regarding how he simply appeared. Since the boy had no direction, and he was also different from most, the Troupe offered to let him travel with them, perhaps one of his family would find him at their show. But it wouldn't be for free. He would have to work, outside of and in the show. Ghost accepted their offer.
Perhaps someone would find him someday.
But... Are there actual rules to play an Aethyr or Kalashtar? I didn't find them in the primer.
