Well I know Nethen's player is flexible and inventive. I'd be interested to see how it goes.
So yes Combat Stamina is in. Free for Fighters. A feat for others who wish to try it?

Thanks GM. I’ll see what I can do with it and try to make it interesting.
So just putting together the finishing touches now. Definitely going to be a bit tanky. (base AC of 17 at 1st level, up to 18 when I enhance my armor, 21/22 with shield spell active)
I'll be able to fill out Knowledge skills in a few levels as well due to Int being my go to stat for increases, and them all being class skills.

So we now have the full party.
A Oracle of Intrigue (spirit guide) Half-Elf Male.
A Fighter (Callistrian Hunter) Human Male.
A Mesmerist Gnome Male.
A Rogue (Going to Arcane Trickster) Vishkanya Female.
A Magus (Armored Battlemage) Human Female.
We'll take tomorrow & the weekend to get the details finished and aim for a Monday start.
I love how non-standard the party is. I’m going to have a read through everyone’s background to get a sense of who the PCs are.
Can’t wait to get started!
I'm actually leaving the country for the next week; I'll be gone from 3-10 Dec. Can we plan to start the Monday after that?
I would love a Gameplay thread to dot into, though, so I can keep track of this campaign better.

Agreed!

I'm presumably doing DBH a favor and not playing this PC as the comic relief I usually do... but he is a gnome.

How does everybody else feel about waiting another week to start? It's no problem for me.
I know how unpleasant it is to miss the initial meetings and start of a game.
That's fine with me, although I'll second Iorghil's request for a Gameplay thread to dot and delete into.
Gameplay thread is up now. You can use the discussion thread to flesh out your characters and annoy me with questions.
Waiting is fine by me, it’s important for everyone to be able to get into a new game at the same time.
I'm good with that

Love made her sing, but its death broke her into pieces.
Brig was an orphan, often a target of older kids, cause of her meek nature and Varisian heritage. A new kid helped change that. Ariadne Rithann would fight the bullies, even when she was outnumbered and outsized, which ended up with Brig following her around with big doe eyes.
Ariadne got thrown out for her justice, but she had changed the meek little girl into one that fought back. Learning from the other girl's mistakes, Brig learned to ambush and retreat, never giving matron enough to toss her out as well.
As adulthood blossomed, her constant striving to defend those around her had her much bulkier than the average, so she was apprenticed to a blacksmith in the area. A task she loved. Melting, mixing, creating. Her eager mind started learning reactions, which lead her to alchemy, and into a shop one day meeting Him.
Her first crush might have been an older girl, but her heart was lost to Edgar Tonk, a bookish academy student with a wiry smile. Talking started, a shared love of learning became offers of studying with him, then to other things.
Life was bliss for those few months it was allowed to last. Then Edgar was killed in an alleyway. He had been buying a ring, the authorities told her, had gushed about it to his friends at a pub, about finding the One. Others had heard, and he had been killed for that thin band of gold.
Brig died that day too, the hopeful innocent, as hate for those that preyed on the weak, that gutted the meek, for profit. She threw herself into studies of anatomy, of alchemical changes that could be made to people, to make her stronger, to make them PAY.
Now she still works the anvil in her master's shop during the day, but spends her evenings in the dark, with her hammer and tonics, finding the craven alley stabbers and breaking them. (or at least trying to)
So totally missed this, as I hadn't realized you posted in the closed recruitment thread instead of just the discussion thread. I love it.
It means you'll also have known Kayliegh at least in passing if not in greater depth. Tragic, and powerful. And Vengeance is definitely a bit of a uniting team for most of this group.
No worries, this is where gm_dbh suggested to put her. And Brig is very happy to know Kayliegh as well. I assume from the orphanage?
Do you have a preference Kay about how well they knew each other from their childhood?
Probably not well if at all.
My vague backstory for Kayleigh is that she lived happily with her parents until both perished in a fire. She was then taken in by an elderly neighbor who was friends with her parents, but that caregiver died about a year or so later. That's when Kayleigh very briefly fell in with Gaedren Lamm's crew. She sucked at crime, however, so Gaedren decided to rid himself of her. Ariadne saved Kayleigh when she saw Lamm beating her mercilessly, allowing her to escape and survive, but then Lamm's anger redirected toward her.
After crawling away from the beating, Kayleigh happened upon a silver chain wedge between cobblestones near the edge of a street. Attached was a strange holy symbol, so the girl made her way to the Pantheon of Many, where she got it identified as the holy symbol of Milani and where she worked, studied, and lived with various clerics serving the gods Iomedae, Cayden Cailean, Desna, Shelyn, and even Torag and Kurgess. She moved to Old Korvosa a few months ago to help and serve the needy folks on that island.
Lamm is such a horrible villain, simply made to be hated. :(
Since Brigita was never part of Lamm's kids I think they would not have met that way.
Makes sense. Fingers crossed that we make it out of the current situation, and actually get to meet up with you. lol.
