I've got a Dragin Instinct Barbarian I'd like to play at that tier, and the slower post rate works for me considering my work schedule so that's great. I should have a build and frame work up this weekend.
slower posts work for me as well, I've got an idea for a human warpriest of Iomedae, that's basically couldn't quite make it in Paladin school and never got over it though he's accomplished a lot since basically retreating to seminary and becoming a warpriest instead. His personality is basically some low level despair, a lot of weariness, and an ever present need to prove himself driving him on... TO ADVENTURE!
Any possibility of Free Archetype?
Should be fine if no as my idea for this guy is that he'll take the Marshall Archetype and be a great off tank, with buffs, and lots of heals for the team. He won't take the medicine skill though lol, a bit of spite at being forced to be 'just a cleric'.
By 11th level there's a *lot* of class feats to play with so it should work with class feats and no need for Free Archetype.

Welcome to the Boards!
This is Dorian Grey.
I have Lazarus the Undying just made for Ruby Phoenix Tournament! He is ready to redeem himself against the machinations of Hao-Jin herself!
You may browse my Campaign Page for rp examples, if you like.
I am well-versed in PF2e; and, am enjoying it immensely!
I am from Michigan also. My posting rates are consistent. I will be returning to work next week, so your posting requirements fit...lol.
Any questions, concerns are welcome.
Thank you for running!

Very true, so, what about Ancestry Paragon? These feats are not available through any other selection.
I will absolutely submit Zephyr as 11th level though, VERY cool!
It would probably be inappropriate for Zephyr to hold out his left hand and ask Dorian to show him where he is from ...
Dotting for interest. Thinking of building a summoner on Monday.

I'm sorry I am going to have to say no to Ancestry Paragon variant rules for this, being that it starts at 11th level already and I am newer to 11th level I am going to try to keep things as "by the book" as possible and not want to add to much power. Also I feel like that rule variant would best be applied to every character for fairness and see my above point for why I'm not willing to do that.
I do look forward to seeing Zephyr updated to 11th level though and I hope my stinginess with the rules doesn't deter you from playing.
It does not deter me, only makes me focus ;)
I was actually just re-reading that section from the GM's Guide ... and if everyone doesn't want to dig into their racial background, it really doesn't add as much. Just for characters like Syphs, and Strix, and Sprites who want to do flight development, it becomes like their whole ancestry, rather than just a part of it.
and I will admit that I started doing a new thing last night, a little crazy, but helpful too. I am developing the character in BOTH pathBUILDER and in HeroLab. Because of the limitations they both have, I wanted to see what the outcome by level would look like. It has been interesting for sure. Output soon!
My current concept is as follows;
Tsu Yang Zhou & his sister Tsu Yan Song, were orphaned at a young age, knowing nothing of their parentage other than the memory of their village being subsumed by flame and ash. Taken into a monastery devoted to Irori, during their childhood the monks took care of the twins, caring for them, even as they educated them, placing them on to the path of perfection. However, Zhou was consumed by curiosity, wishing to learn more of his parentage, whereas Song felt their parents weak, unable to protect them, and strove to become stronger so she could protect her brother. In time, Zhou discovered their parents were slain while they stood in defense of the great celestial dragon. He shared his discovery with his sister, wishing to seek out the great golden dragon.
Song would have none of it, she blamed the dragon for her parents death, wandering a dangerous path, one that led her to a member of the order who was devoted, not to Irori's path, but that of Zon-kuthon. The Dark Prince sought to undermine the Master of Master's followers, and lure them along a dark path, pain and torment, that would bring them to his eviscerating embrace.
Zhou discovered the truth of this, and confronted Song's master, however, in his guise as a member of the order, devoted to Irori, he had Zhou banished from the monastery. Zhou wandered alone for many months, until he climbed the highest mountain, and beseeched the great celestial dragon to reveal the truth of his heritage. In a vision, he heard the roar of the heavens, and the truth was revealed, he, like his parents before him, was a disciple of the great celestial order, and took it upon himself to honor that connection.
He regretted the loss of his twin, and in many encounters, tried to redeem her from the barb like grip of her patron, however, he always failed. Finding out that his sister, now known as Nine Serpent Song, had joined the tournament, he sought to confront her, redeem her in the eyes of their parents, and welcome her back to the celestial order.
I can fluff it up with some more connections, but in essence, the build will be a Dragon Instinct Barbarian, who mellowed as he leveled up, taking the Sorcerer Bloodline dedication & the Draconic Disciple dedication. Even becoming a Master of the Tea ceremony.
I will work on the build and equipment this weekend.
I am building a summoner with a phantom eidolon. Would you allow the rare background Seer of the Dead? If not, I'll choose a common background. :)
Crunch is done for my summoner, Zathra, pending confirmation of access to rare background. I will write her backstory tomorrow morning.
To become a samurai, a full paladin/champion of Shizuru, is hard.
Yet that is all young Ryushi wanted. At his own insistence his village parents apprentinced him to nearby warrior temple and the enthusiastic boy become a dilligent young man.
He did most everything his masters could have asked of him. He made friends easily and worked hard. The touch of Shizuru's approval was obvious in him thanks to the sparks of the divine he exhibited.
But he was not the smartest, or the wisest in his studies, and the heaviest of armors made him clumsy.
So it was that his acceptance into the order came down to one final trial. A duel in heavy armor against his friend who had ascended to the order a year prior. All he had to do was land one hit in three tries.
*Whap*
*Whap*
*Whap*
The final attempt went so badly that his attack was side stepped and he was struck on the back, falling on his face.
Hao-Jin Aida, who had shattered his dreams with her performance, helped him up and commiserated in low words as he walked stony faced to the side where the failed aspirants sat, sitting motionless as the rest of the trials were conducted as honour and duty demanded.
He became a guard and trainer at the temple while Hao-Jin moved on to great exploits. His village parents were convinced he was a full member of the order as he went back to visit in his fancy medium armor, and katana, sharing his salary with them. His insistence he was not fell on deaf ears and worse was the polite applause from those who knew what had happened but did not want to harm the family pride.
Ironically Shizuru's favour of him grew and the temple masters roped him into studying to be a cleric. His heart was never really in it though. Finally, hearing of Hao-Jin's exploits and seeing his first students ascending to full order, he decided to leave. He took monster slaying jobs to ensure his parents were set for life and then went wandering to prove his worthiness to himself. Mixing well paying jobs for honourable merchants and trade caravans of repute with protecting and then training isolated villages to hold off bandits or monsters.
I went with the simpler gear buying to get
Breastplate of command (10)
+1 striking grevious katana (9)
Force Shield (Uncommon) (9)
Greater staff of healing (8)
Boots of Bounding (7)
Slippers of spider climbing (7)
Might buy some other stuff but mostly well stocked with alchemy and side weapons as well.
Hao-Jin is his rival. Not really antagonistic but she reminds him of the core failure of his life that drives him on. Her politeness and consideration are honestly kinda irritating to him.
He should be able to stand on the front line and provide a lot of bonuses and extra saves because of his Marshall archetype, also a lot of healing and some extra movement abilities. Should have a pretty decent single strike too.
He can be leader, second in command, team mascot as required.
Two Uncommon choices, the Force Shield, and 3rd level spell Neutralize Poison for your consideration and approval.
Good luck to all.

Inspiring Marshal Stance (Open, Stance) Prerequisites Marshal Dedication, trained in Diplomacy You become a brilliant example of dedication and poise in battle, encouraging your allies to follow suit. When you spend this action, attempt a Diplomacy check. The DC is usually a standard-difficulty DC of your level, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect depends on the result of your check. Critical Success Your marshal's aura increases to a 20-foot emanation and grants you and allies a +1 status bonus to attack rolls and saves against mental effects. Success As critical success, but your aura's size doesn't increase. Failure You fail to enter the stance. Critical Failure You fail to enter the stance and can't take this action again for 1 minute.
Cadence Call (Auditory, Flourish) Frequency once per minute Prerequisites Marshal Dedication You call out a quick cadence, guiding your allies into a more efficient rhythm. Each willing ally within your marshal's aura is quickened until the end of their next turn, and they can use the extra action only to Stride. At the end of each ally's turn, if they used the extra action, they then become slowed 1 until the end of their following turn.
Snap Out of It! (Auditory, Emotion, Mental) Prerequisites Marshal Dedication You give a quick shout, hoping to shake the fog clouding your ally's thoughts. Choose one target ally within your marshal's aura who is affected by a mental effect that allowed a Will save and has a duration of no longer than 1 minute. That ally can immediately attempt a Will save with a +1 circumstance bonus against the effect's DC, ending the effect on a success. This can't end the effect for any creatures other than your target ally. Regardless of the result of the save, your ally is temporarily immune to Snap Out of It! for 10 minutes.
Evangelize (Auditory, General, Linguistic, Mental, Skill) Prerequisites master in Diplomacy, you follow a deity or philosophy You point out a detail that incontrovertibly supports your faith, causing a listener’s mind to whirl. Attempt a Diplomacy check and compare the result to the Will DC of a single target that can hear you and understands your language; that target is then temporarily immune to Evangelize with respect to your deity or philosophy for 1 day. A creature that already agrees with you is unaffected, and at the GM’s discretion, a target that genuinely changes its perspective to support your faith as a result of the argument is also otherwise unaffected. Critical Success The target is stupefied 2 for 1 round. Success The target is stupefied 1 for 1 round. Failure The target is unaffected.
No Cause for Alarm (Auditory, Concentrate, Emotion, General, Linguistic, Mental, Skill) Prerequisites trained in Diplomacy You attempt to reduce panic. Attempt a Diplomacy check, comparing it to the Will DC of creatures in a 10-foot emanation around you who are frightened. Each of them is temporarily immune for 1 hour. Critical Success Reduce the creature's frightened value by 2. Success Reduce the creature's frightened value by 1.
Divine Weapon Frequency once per turn Trigger You finish Casting a Spell using one of your divine spell slots on your turn. You siphon residual spell energy into a weapon you’re wielding. Until the end of your turn, the weapon deals an additional 1d4 force damage. You can instead deal an additional 1d6 damage of an alignment type that matches one of your deity’s alignment components. As usual for aligned damage, this can damage only creatures of the opposite alignment.
Breastplate of Command (Enchantment, Invested, Magical) Activate Command; Frequency once per day; Effect You grant allies within 100 feet a +2 status bonus tp saves against fear effects for 1 minute. When you activate this ability, each affected ally who's frightened reduces their frightened value by 1.
Force Shield (Evocation, Force, Magical, Uncommon) Activate command; Frequency once per day; Effect The shield surrounds you with a bubble of force that protects you from harm, granting you resistance 5 to physical damage for 1 minute. The bubble disappears if you cease holding the shield.
Slippers of Spider Climbing (Invested, Magical, Transmutation) Activate command; Frequency once per hour; Effect Tiny, hairlike tendrils extend from the slippers' soles, allowing you to walk on vertical surfaces or even to move upside down along ceilings. For 1 minute, you gain a 20-foot climb Speed and you don't need to use your hands to Climb. However, the slippers require decent traction for you to walk on a wall, so they provide no benefit when you're moving across greased, icy, or oiled surfaces.

Focus Spells (1 points) Perfected Mind You meditate upon perfection to remove all distractions from your mind. Attempt a new Will save against one mental effect currently affecting you that required a Will save. Use the result of this new save to determine the outcome of the mental effect, unless the new save would have a worse result than the original save, in which case nothing happens. You can use perfected mind against a given effect only once.

Realized the name Hao-Jin was stuck in my mind when I came up with the name of Ryushi's rival. Lol. Let's change it to Haraka Aida.
I was just thinking that you were really--really--old...lol.
Maybe build your character by hand Zwordsman and then throw them into pathbuilder 2e as a double check? It's a really great website.
I believe Zathra is all done now and ready for your consideration!
The spirit belonged to the warrior Tarik, whose undying anger against those who had wronged him in life kept him bound to the mortal world. Due to some strange quirk of fate, a powerful link had been established between Zathra and Tarik, bonding the pair together. This newfound link also granted Zathra a sensitivity to the spiritual world, allowing her to see other ghosts and phantoms that dwelled on the edge of the Ethereal Plane.
When the undead uprising was finally quelled, Zathra emerged from the necropolis with a powerful protector and a newfound purpose. She would dedicate herself to exploring ancient tombs and ruins to find and put to rest as many wayward souls as she could. Over the next several years, the young woman began to garner a reputation not only for her bravery and selflessness, but for the combat prowess of her guardian eidolon. Of course, she often clashed with the more unscrupulous tomb raiders that often sought to rob the dead rather than to help them pass on to the afterlife. A Taldan rogue by the name of Caspian Vernisant has proven to be a frequent thorn in Zathra's side, interfering with her efforts in search of his own personal gain.
Upon learning of the upcoming Ruby Phoenix Tournament, Zathra decided to undertake the lengthy journey across the world to Goka to join a team in the hopes of winning the grand prize. She hopes that somewhere within Hao Jin's legendary vault might be a powerful artifact that can help her finally help Tarik pass on to his long-delayed reward in the Great Beyond. And in the meantime, fame and fortune never hurt anybody!
Rolling up a Dwarf Monk. I do have a question about the cutoff date, is it Thursday the 9th or Friday the 10th?

And here is his
A great warrior requires someone to tell their tale. And in Ajo’s case, that someone is himself. Ajo is of noble blood and it was always expected that he would be a Champion of his family and the Tengu god Hei Feng. Much to his family's dismay, though, Ajo showed a strong desire to be a singer and leaned into that aspect of Fei Heng. Although, he was eventually allowed in as a Champion of Fei Heng who mixed occult magics with swordplay.
Ajo’s adventuring took him to many exotic places as a Champion of Fei Heng, and then he would return to the local bars and hang outs of the Tian nobles and share the tells of him facing down barbarians coming from the north, undead hordes that poured from the sea, and incursions of Oni. With his tales’ spreading, Ajo’s fame grew.
In the time before Ajo traveled to the Ruby Tournament he ran into two foes of note. The first was a low born catfolk named Reikikim who was also a bard in the local area where Ajo lives. He found the Ajo’s claims in his tales to be galling. Reikikim began questioning Ajo’s claims with a series of crude limericks. Political opponents of Ajo and his family found Reikikim’s stunt humorous and useful and began sponsoring him. This led to several months of running public confrontations between the two bards. Ajo was able to win most of these encounters with his wit and skills picked up in his travels, but Reikikim continues to hound him waiting for a time when he can bring Ajo down in the eyes of those who share the venues the two both go to.
The other major foe in Ajo’s travels was a barbarian warlord named Finnir. Ajo has encountered Finnir in several of his adventures as the barbarian has led pirates or raiders south against Tian lands. The two recently met in battle and Ajo had come out victorious. But he was unable to finish off his old foe as an Ulfen witch who traveled with Finnir grabbed him and teleported away with the injured warlord as his men fled back to their ships.
That seems a bit of a long recruitment process; a year....lol!
I am almost done with my re-build. LOL I need to own that he was a touch cooler b4 I saw the level-by-level rule, but having 2 9th level ancestry feats isn't exactly fair ...
