I uh .... have a soft spot for Dragons, particularly if one can PLAY them, and can have my arm twisted to whip up a divine caster of some kind, if one ends up being needed to round out a group. I have not had the best luck with pbp, but am familiar with how it works, and a reasonable amount of time available to commit.

(Forever DM, and I occasionally sift through the recruitment lists while bored at work, and this caught my eye. I've been known to devour FR novels, but have been a couple decades since my last deep delve)

A Pseudodragon for every shoulder!
A larger dragon-friend for larger friends!

...but if you act now...!

Scouring through the Cormyr book now, FR book later. Should someone with a better PbP presence request the divine slot, I'm happy to let them have it, in the mean time, there's a party that needs a caster.

New personal goal, get some Cormytes to believe I am a silver dragon in disguise...

A Serendipity Shaman of Tymora would be thematic ... but I'd have to build that by hand. Don't have that book for HL at the moment.

<continues to sift through options>

<edit> Uh, question? You said PF1e Core in one of your responses. Corebook only? Or did I misunderstand?

<More edit>Looking at the conversion you did for Dragonborn, it has Psychic Heritage as an alternate race trait... I'm quite fond of the Psionic options, but wasn't going to ask because you said no 3pp. For clarification, is a Dragonborn Vitalist off the table? I'm assuming it is not permitted based on your previous statement, but now I'm confused.

You can create a character using a class from PF1 core, APG, ACG, UC, and UM.

It's not permitted to be a Vitalist. I wrote the conversion for my City of Psionics campaign world -- that's why there is a Psychic Heritage as an alternate race trait. I'm trying to make character creation easy for everyone, that's why I'm disallowing Ultimate Psionics.


Totally understandable, and I appreciate your answering again.


I completely messed up the build rules. So I'm going to bow out of this one. Have fun everyone.


@Ardusk, a quick glance, doesn't show me anything you did that seems off... But May the Lady favor you.

I took that to include archetypes, and mine were way off. If that isn’t the case, then boy do I feel foolish.

I should have included archetypes.


I have a Dragonborn Shaman(Life/Lore) 3/4 of the way done that's very heal centric. Though, there's a decent chance I'll start over as Oracle(Spirit Guide)instead... Hmm. Might finish both, and see which I like better.

Curse:
God-Meddled (Heroes of Golarion pg. 14): The isle of Iblydos is populated and watched over by hero-gods, some of whom are known for entangling mortals in their own affairs. The gods’ interference in your life has left you with strange, unpredictable powers dependent on divine whim. Bizarre side effects occur whenever you are affected by a spell from a divine caster—for better or for worse. Once per round, when a creature casts a divine spell including you as a target, roll 1d20 and consult the table below. The effect resulting from this roll begins at the end of that enemy’s turn. This effect targets only you, even if other creatures were included as targets of the triggering spell. At 5th level, you gain a +2 competence bonus on saving throws to resist divine spells. At 10th level, you become immune to the confused condition. At 15th level, you gain a +4 competence bonus on saving throws to resist mind-affecting effects. I think this curse is thematic, and could be fun

For wandering Spirit, The following Hexes are ones I'm more likely to ask to use:

Default: Mammoth

Note: References to Wisdom and Charisma should be swapped, due to the archetype being an Oracle one, but the references being based on the standard Shaman text.

Mammoth:
Mammoth's Hide (Su): The shaman can touch a willing ally and cause its skin to thicken and sprout thick, shaggy fur. The creature gains a +2 enhancement bonus to natural armor and cold resistance 5 for 10 minutes. At 9th level, the enhancement bonus increases to +3 and the cold resistance to 10. At 15th level, this enhancement bonus increases to +4 and the cold resistance to 15. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma bonus.

Fire:
Cinder Dance (Ex): The shaman’s base speed increases by 10 feet. At 5th level, the shaman receives Nimble Moves as a bonus feat. At 10th level, the shaman receives Acrobatic Steps as a bonus feat. The shaman doesn’t need to meet the prerequisites of these feats.

Fire Nimbus (Su): The shaman causes a creature within 30 feet to gain a nimbus of fire. Though this doesn’t harm the creature, it does cause the creature to emit light like a torch, preventing it from gaining any benef it from concealment or invisibility. The target also takes a –2 penalty on saving throws against spells or effects that deal fire damage. The fire nimbus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the shaman’s level. A successful Will saving throw negates this effect. Whether or not the save is successful, the creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 24 hours.

Flame Curse (Su): The shaman causes a creature within 30 feet to become vulnerable to fire until the end of the shaman’s next turn (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 305). If the creature is already vulnerable to fire, this hex has no effect. Fire immunity and resistances apply as normal, and any saving throw allowed by the effect that caused the damage reduces it as normal. At 8th and 16th levels, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

Gaze of Flames (Su): The shaman sees through fire, fog, and smoke without penalty as long as there is enough light to otherwise allow her to see normally. At 7th level, the shaman can gaze through any source of flame within 10 feet per shaman level, as clairvoyance. The shaman can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to her shaman level, but these rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Heavens:
Heaven's Leap (Su): The shaman is adept at creating tiny tears in the fabric of space, and temporarily stitching them together to reach other locations through a limited, one-way wormhole. As a standard action, the shaman can designate herself or a single ally that she can see who is within 30 feet of her. She can move that creature as if it were subject to jester’s jauntAPG. Once targeted by this hex, the ally cannot be the target of this hex again for 24 hours.

Lure of the Heavens (Su): The shaman’s connection to the skies above is so strong that her feet barely touch the ground. At 1st level, she no longer leaves tracks. At 5th level, she can hover up to 6 inches above the ground or liquid surfaces. At 10th level, the shaman gains the ability to fly (as the spell) for a number of minutes per day equal to her shaman level—the duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments.

Background:
Tharan was born and raised in Arabel some 24 yeas ago, and spent many long hours listening to lectures, idles conversation, and liturgy in the Lady's Hall, the local temple of Tymora, the local gambling dens, and the barracks of the Red Ravens mercenary company. In 1327 Cormyr Reckoning (1352 DR)(Assuming the timing works), Tharan has out of the city on behest of House Marliir, specificly working with those in service to Baron Thomdor, when The Usurper King Gondegal raised his mercenary army, and began to cause a ruckus in the area. Tharan proved that the many long hours gambling, sermonizing, and working with a variety of skilled mercenaries and priests of the Lady's Hall were not in vain, demonstrating a fair skill at arms, and the blessings of the Lady to keep many of his comrades from death's door. If this timing doesn't work, I'll work up something else

I'll pick up a new alias if he's selected to join your group. Please let me know if I've overstepped, or have anything you would prefer to see changed.


I like what I'm reading so far. ;)

"Now I am confused as to just which shoulder I want to ride on! Do I want a wizard familiar, a dragon oracle? Decisions, decisions!"


Since I don't see it in the stat block, the plan is to use Magical Lineage (Cure Mod) and reach spell, to have all Cure Mods be close range spells that still only cost level 2 spell slots.

As a note to other potential melee combatants, I took Outflank, and a reach weapon. I hope that this will be useful to the party, along with the buckets of healing I bring.


Alrighty.

Sit upon my shoulder, little flying thing. Together, we shall awash ourselves in the blood of our foes, and so earn both survival and glory.

Break Curse (Su): At 6th level, a silver balladeer can suppress a single curse affecting an ally within 30 feet that is able to see and hear her. Each round the silver balladeer uses break curse, she attempts a Perform check against the original DC of the curse. If successful, she suppresses the curse for 1 round. After she has suppressed the curse for 4 consecutive rounds, she can attempt a caster level check to remove the curse as if she had cast remove curse.

About Talandria: “Tala” hails from Deepingdale, where she spent many nights of her youth wandering the forest, loving moonlit evenings best of all. She is a skilled archer as many of the folk of Deepingdale are, and counts herself lucky to have grown up among people for whom her status as Cha'Tel'Quessir was no hindrance. From an early age she also found she had great talent with strings of another kind, those of the violin, as well as a lovely and strong singing voice. However she was not content to stay in the Dale, no matter it’s beauty. She longed to see the greater Realms and compose songs about distant lands and great deeds. She took up the life of a traveling bard, and in those wanderings eventually came to the attention of those who Harp. In service to the Harpers Tala has crossed paths and swords with the Zhentarim, for whom she holds little love. She also drew the ire of a Red Wizard of Thay when she spurned his romantic attempts, forcing her to flee lest her true motivations be revealed. She has visited the forest kingdom of Cormyr on several occasions, both in service to the Harpers and to simply enjoy the beauty of that land. She is fond of playing at roadside inns and taverns there, and has done so often as Cormytes appreciate a fine tune.

May have missed the post up thread, but I actually posted Tala on the 5th, but for clarity, here she is again.

Hi guys. My dad passed away during the night. So I won't be able to do much for the campaign for a while. Sorry everyone, but Real Life has happened. I'll try and pick up things next week.


Very sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself and family and know that love travels with and through us in those we have touched thru all time.


I cannot express enough how sorry I am for your loss.


Take care of yourself. Condolences. Losing someone close is never easy.


EltonJ, that is really tough news, I am so sorry to hear about that. Take the time you need, we aren't going anywhere. My thoughts will be with you and your family, and may your father forever know peace in lands that are ever green.


Very sorry for your loss. Real life, always is more important than gaming.

Yes. He's in a better place right now. And Real Life(TM) is more important than gaming right now. After the funeral, I can get back to gaming. But you have to give me time.


Take all the time you need. My condolences.


Very sorry to hear that, EltonJ. Thoughts are with you and yours. Take all the time you need.


Thanks.

Gameplay will resume tomorrow.


Glad to hear it.

Hope you are doing well.


Good to have you back EltonJ, like Zinnath said, hope you are doing okay.


Yes, I have been. I'm just waiting for Evindyl to submit his spellfire wielder.

The Exchange

Hey so, I was just scrolling around the boards and came across this. It looks like you're wrapping up, but I had this ogre priest I thought might fit into this game. Would I be alright to submit him here?
