Ok, I'm getting some of the maps together for the beginning leg of our journey -- just a reminder, we'll be using Astral and/or Foundry for maps, so, even though they're both free for you, you'll need to plan on making an account before we get started. I'll need to test that everyone can access stuff before we start so it doesn't slow the game down.
My concern wasn’t the base traits from WotR, it’s how they interact with mythic paths. They each connect with a mythic path and if you have that mythic path you get a bonus way bigger than a normal trait (like, the guardian one gives you +3 hp/level, iirc).
I'm not seeing those extra bonuses either on the PFSRD or in the Player's Guide itself.
If you can provide me with the info, I'll let ya know if they are okay for the game.

I'm not seeing those extra bonuses either on the PFSRD or in the Player's Guide itself.
If you can provide me with the info, I'll let ya know if they are okay for the game.
Maybe the bonuses are part of the AP and not intrinsic to the trait? I don’t really want any of the WotR campaign traits, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be completely screwing myself by not picking one if everyone else was going to be getting a big bonus from them.
For race traits, the one I was hoping to take was memory master which seemed like a cool fit for house Senth (which gets memory lapse and modify memory for their SLAs).
My concept is Rook. He's an aegis/psion whose theme is "admantine cannon" - high defenses and a variety of offensive powers. Being neutral, he can adapt to either an evil or good group.My most favorite gestalt combo ever (which I'm not using here) was a soulknife/aegis. There's a lot of synergy there and you basically have a tank who manifests all of their equipment.They do have awesome synergy in a normal game. I once played a jedi by gestalting soulknife with psychic warrior (meditant).
But when you have ABP and a high money value Soulknife is less useful. You still get some stuff, but a big class feature is redundant. With Aegis, it's actually a little better because you don't have to spend customization points on upping the armor bonus.
Well, I figured out why you would do soulknife in an ABP game. If you have four arms, you get two magic weapons from ABP and two from soulknife. And end up with 12 attacks at max bonus. Melee or thrown within 100'.
This is not an application, just an exploration.

@Sebecloki So according to my notes I know *looks* 30 languages. Any ideas on where to start?
https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Languages
https://greyhawk.fandom.com/wiki/Languages
I'm starting to look at submissions from Erik's above list, and it seems like we might have lost a few people along the way(as happens in recruitments).
Thus, I need a roll call. Who is still present, with a mostly finished character sheet? Or if not sheet but still present, and definitely interested, list your concept/classes.
Still present, and Rani should be finished and ready to go. She's delightfully neutral, so she can play the buffer/healer/face for a good or evil table.
Well, I figured out why you would do soulknife in an ABP game. If you have four arms, you get two magic weapons from ABP and two from soulknife. And end up with 12 attacks at max bonus. Melee or thrown within 100'.
This is not an application, just an exploration.
Oof. This is not in fact how I did it, but I'm impressed :) In my case it's a warforged but now you have me thinking about installing extra limbs :)
Latest updates for new page:
Would it be reasonable to list them with alignments next time? Asking for a lazy friend...
I'm still in, and having a lot of fun building my Phyrexian mutant, who has tentatively taken on the name "Star Love", and whose second class probably won't be shifter...and might be either Legendary Alchemist or Legendary Cleric.
Maybe too much fun, as I really DO need to settle down on final build soon, but it keeps unfolding in interesting ways.
Looking forward to reading more builds.
Oh, and to answer Sethris, I'm definitely Team Good.
I'll start updating the list with the folks who respond to the roll call at the top, and I'll see if I can figure out their alignments too while I'm at it. Just for you, @PaleDim! ;)
My N noble giant Fighter//Witch is still in the running, I hope!
Present and interested. I don't have high hopes that I'll be chosen to play my obscenely-btoken character, but Eladithas was fun to make.

Still present, just waiting on the results atm.
@Monkeygod, regarding the WotR traits and their mythic bonusses, you can read the mythic path bonusses here:
https://wrath-of-the-righteous-59.obsidianportal.com/wikis/traits
As stated previously, some of them like exposed to awfulness grant rather large bonusses like +3 hp per level, not myhtic level, so the same as three toughness feats. Or the ability to recharge wands for free each day.
I'm not sure if it matters for selection, but I've been looking into slightly altering Krynn mechanically by taking a second paladin archetype for the spheres of power side this one This would train away Smite Evil for even more flashy/ceinematic swordplay and mobility/utility abilities from the spheres system. Like gaining evasion abilities by moving 10 or more feet each turn or creating afterimages from just being that fast , and having a few more stances and maneuvers from the Path of War taken via spare feats this would free up.
There's also a feat path for being able to use Vital Strike on AoO's like succesful greater trips, I later read, though that gets really crazy really fast if stuff like Mythic Vital Strike was allowed (even the sane interpretation as linked in the mythic solutions essentially almost triples your damage if you have abilities that force AoO's). I'm assuming mythic vital strike is banned for that reason?
Those mythic bonuses must be the result of something(maybe the mythic ascension itself) that happens in game, because the Player's Guide to Wrath doesn't mention them.
We'll be using solution one for Mythic Vital Strike.
I would need to see the feat chain to determine if it needs to be nerfed, edited or banned outright.
Still here, of course.
Myrwyn (CG Male Thaythilor Eldritch Godling/Legendary Bard) still on the making. Most of the crunch is done, I just need to bring it to the alias and finish all the links.
Currently in the process of putting it together. Adjusting things as I go. Didn't know just how complex and versatile pactmakers really were until I started diving into it. Currently navigating my way to something similar to Elric. At least close enough to simply be another iteration of him in a different reality.
Tark, I have a few ideas about bonus spirits you can have researched beforehand, but still trying to figure which method is most fair.
Question, aside from the obvious 'all of them', how many spirits do you feel your character needs in order to best fit your vision for him? And then roughly how many more beyond that would be really beneficial for him to have?
Still here. Though I'm concerned about the setting. How friendly is it to people who know nothing about M:tG.

Well I wrote down a bunch going off the aforementioned rules I went with earlier. With some additional guidelines based on lore behind moorcocks world. Mainly I outright did not go with any Lawful spirits. Melnibone's people were firmly on the side of Chaos and most of their ancient pacts were with that ilk. So most of what I have favors chaos and in many cases evil despite the fact that the character itself is largely a decent person with terrible terrible luck. Lemme put that list here. Basically looking at 4 per spirit level and two of the highest as I wouldn't be at the level yet to have four by my own set of rules. Though regardless of how many I actually have I can only ever have three bound, 4 even at max. I'm honestly just interested in a lot of the ceremonies for summoning them and the hilarity they provide. A lot of these guys want you to do some heinous stuff to yourself.

Did you read the recruitment post carefully?
It's a mix of a dozen different things -- I was reading about Phyrexians recently, and that also seemed cool, so I'm going to throw that in too. I'll definitely be adding stuff continuously as I get inspiration. You should definitely reconsider if mixing stuff from a lot of different campaigns is going to irk you for some reason -- you need to be really clear that this isn't Golarion/Faerun/Greyhawk and be okay with that; it's a mix of all those things and a lot of other stuff too.

That list is 30 total. Are you honestly good with that? If you're truly not, let's work out a way to get you a some more bonus ones.

Honestly yeah. Even this "small" list drowns you in options. And options within options. And some quite literally dont get along with one another, or actively hate you. If I feel the need for more I'll try to research them in-game. Though I think I'd be hard pressed to exhaust this list without a lot of time and extraordinary circumstances.
In any case. I'm getting to be about done so heres where we at so far. But I need to get to bed. I'll jump back on it in the morning and getting it finished when I wake up. Somethings like the current bound spirits and readied maneuvers wont be added until the game starts.
I am always there its just this inferior equipment

Not a problem. I don't have an issue with kitchen sink campaigns so long as we get an idea of what we know about them.

Those mythic bonuses must be the result of something(maybe the mythic ascension itself) that happens in game, because the Player's Guide to Wrath doesn't mention them.
We'll be using solution one for Mythic Vital Strike.
I would need to see the feat chain to determine if it needs to be nerfed, edited or banned outright.
It's essentially a single feat.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/path-of-war/feats/seize-t he-opportunity-combat/
It's just that with support from different combat systems, it's a lot stronger than it looks. For instance, Krynn could use:
Rushing Wake
Discipline: Mithral Current (Boost); Level: 3
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: 1 round
DESCRIPTION
With a sudden burst of speed, you charge towards a foe, skillfully knocking aside any others in your path. After initiating this boost, when you make a charge attack this round, you can make a trip attempt as a free action against each opponent adjacent to you at any point in your movement. These trip attempts do not provoke attacks of opportunity, although your movement still does as normal.
And:
Shifting Waters Stance
Discipline: Mithral Current (Stance); Level: 5
Prerequisites: Two Mithral Current maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Duration: Stance
DESCRIPTION
You dance your way across the battlefield, heedless of any obstacles between you and your target. While you maintain this stance, you do not need to move in a straight line while charging, and may move through difficult terrain while charging (although your movement is still reduced if you do so). In addition, any time a maneuver allows you to move as part of initiating it (including maneuvers that allow you to take a 5-foot step), you may move an additional 5 feet. You can sheath your weapon once per round as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if it is not your turn.
Along with any charge move to trip the entire room when a combat would start, then greater trip into mythic vital strike every succesful one for somewhere around 115 damage. Or, using the target table, the blue number for DPR/EDV. Except, both on every enemy at once (if they can be tripped) on round 1 and on every AoO they would incur on following rounds. I'm sure there are other and better ways to do it except I went for style mostly when picking the moves and abilities. Is the above example okay on the mythic balance scale?
Hey Monkeygod, 2 Qs:
1) do you know what other mythic fixes we'll implement? In particular, are you doing the suggested change to stats from the page you linked?
2) LIght Body Technique is an optional Spheres of Might rule that grants some Athletics mobility for free to anyone using SoM. Can we add that in for SoM users who want it? (Fine with me either way, but it'll fit my Phyrexian Mutant so I thought I'd ask.)
BTW, I suspect that knowing what's in/out of bench press may not be trivial with builds this complex. I'll just go on record saying that if it seems like it'll improve the game to rebalance parties a bit (toning something up or down) after a bit of gameplay, I'm 100% down for that.
BTW #2, I THINK I've finally settled my classes: L. Kineticist (*Kinetic Lancer) | L. Alchemist (*Physician, Subtle, Etheric Mystic). My main element is Machine, with some Void and Water thrown in. Getting it done by EOD is a bit of a stretch, but I'll be mostly there.
About done. I'm reviewing my choices to make sure theyre cohesive enough to make a character im happy with. Then I'll get the sheet onto the actual profile and throw the background up here.

Profile is up. Will tweak, adjust and clarify as I go. Pounding out the backstory now.

Backstories all done. Dyrvic is more or less a hero. But can fit easily into whatever good or evil group you can toss him into. He's ready to go though I'm still gonna be tweaking and adjusting here and there. Taking a break for now.
Born to an empire ancient when the cosmos were young, Dyrvic was the product of centuries of inbreeding to a people human or perhaps elven in shape but utterly cruel and brilliant in manner and deed. True servants of Primordial Chaos this race would conquer worlds and enslave countless in their name. With pacts amongst the Lords of Chaos and even their Tanari usurpers secured and allegiances formed with darker powers still it seemed as if the empire of Melnibone was all but set to last until the end of time. With Viska, The Wolf Spider's blessing upon their royal line ensuring both eternal treachery and rule. But Chaos is fickle and Time devours all and one would be born among its number to become its doom. Heir to an empire crumbling under the weight of its own decadence and heir to ancient pacts to beings ineffable and powerful beyond imagining Dyrvic was unlike many of his kin. Weak in body, kept alive only by sorcery and potent alchemical concoctions, and prone to fits of wanderlust he would make a poor emperor as he often left his throne unattended to go off on adventures for one quest or another to chase after questions of morality among the young races blossoming at the time.
He would be betrayed by the uncle he put in place as regent at the time who declared him traitor and imprisoned his lover in an icy prison. And as a result he would lead a daring raid of a young human barbarian tribe against his own mountain kingdom to free her and reclaim his birthright from him. As the barbarians sacked the city and Dyrvic made his way up the ten thousand steps his uncle fled into the plane of Limbo to obtain an artifact powerful enough to sever his connection to the Lords of Chaos and kill him permanently, the Mournblade. While chasing him through the ever changing fields and accosted by the hordes of prometheans and Slaad that would rip apart his flesh and carry his soul deep into the depths of entropy he would reach into the maelstrom and pull from it a pure manifestation of carnage, an artifact of such great evil that it’s mere idea lingers heavily in the cultures of every civilization before and hence; the Stormbringer. With this black sword in hand he drove back the hordes called by his uncle and stole their life and souls for his own. It was upon an impossible volcano that spat cold fire that he would meet his uncle in single combat who bore the only weapon known to be able to sever the connection between the royal line and the Wolf Spider, the Mournblade, Stormbringers twin. Their duel would rock the cosmos to its foundations and realities would shift and twist with every parry and thrust. As Limbo began weeping blood and shadowy figures would crawl out of the abyss to lap at the rivers of ichor forming in their wake Dyrvic revealed the still living form of Dyrvic’s lover to him and thrust her between them as a distraction so that he could make his escape. Tragically, Dyrvic could not hold back Stormbringers bloodlust and he watched helplessly as his arm thrust forward and cut her down in that cursed place devouring her life and soul as easily as it had done to countless others.
Enraged like never before, Dyrvic pursued his uncle and threw him to the ground, casting Mournblade back into the endless calamity of Limbo. Forcing Stormbringer back Dyrvic would take great delight in the slow torture and death that would fall on his uncle.
He would return from Limbo to find his city burned to the ground, his people scattered and ruined by his own hand. Even the barbarians who marched with him would be crushed and destroyed by the vengeful earth elementals that served as guardians of the city but were too slow to awaken to its defense. Yet this was not even the worst outcome. With no empire, and no heirs the blessing of Viska would turn to curse. Nothing could permanently destroy Dyrvic, he would wander eternally and suffer until the end of time. There would be no respite, no rest, not even a resolution of punishment for the crimes that Dyrvic committed. Any joy he would find would inevitably become dust by the ravages of time.
Master of magics wielded before elf and dragon imprisoned them in blood and word and a swordsman born of the fires of ancient conflict Dyrvic has wandered the centuries unable to die due to an ancient blessing turned curse and bearing a sword that feeds on his immortality and the vitality of its victims until the day it can finally feast on its wielders lifeblood and soul. Only now has he found an opportunity, a glimmer of hope in a millennia of hopelessness to end his suffering and put paid to an eternity of suffering. He has lived many lives, attempted just as many ways to end it, made deals with gods, aided both demon and angel alike both in their respective domains, and even quested briefly with a dozen other versions of his own self from different realities against beings greater than said gods in their bid to consume all creation. For now, he simply wanders, watching gods and empires rise and fall, magic change again and again. Seeking a peace that will never come.
Well, I'm still here but I was off yesterday during the day and planned to finish Ethulfel then. Unfortunately, the site wouldn't let me sign in all morning and then the planned maintenance rat showed up until I left for work in the evening. So, there's no way I'm going to be done today, which is probably for the best anyways- I don't really have enough time to take on a high level/power game like this. Good luck to everyone else.
Seb Where is an L15 gestalt T5 character in relation to a Praetor? Are they like Demon Lords? Deities? I'm wondering how little/big a fish my little mutant is, in his heretical opposition to them. Also, do you have an opinion about whether he's part of a small opposition (that he might lead) of phyrexian "race traitors" who've decided to side with Life? vs being the only anomaly that he knows about?
As to the roll call, I'm still here and interested, as Monkeygod knows, but for the sake of the list, here is my mentioning of it.

As I said the other day, you don't need to be 100% done by today. We'll probably pick the PCs tonight, and then give everybody the weekend or so to finish up.
That said, if you would prefer to bow out, that's understandable. Though a little sad, as Ethulfel was on my short list for the good guys.
Okay, links aren't there and there's some money left to spend and some feats to take (I know, right?), but that's mostly what it is.
Myrwyn, as explained in the small intro, is a descendant of Desna (or a similar deity). He's been tasked with protecting this world from outside menaces - either from other worlds in this plane or from other planes. He's been doing so for quite a long time, using his inherited powers (Eldritch Godling) over the four elements (plus sonic representing thunder) and his studies (Legendary Bard) of folklore and occult knowledges in a deadly combination.
As I explained in another post far above, he can deliver tons of damage through a Fireball (which he turns into Sonic or any other energy), coupled with several penalties (dazed, sickened and concussive metamagics). Meanwhile, his Bardic Inspiration acts as a reverse Bardic Performance, piling on penalties on enemies instead of bonuses on allies (my way to avoid reiteration with anyone else playing a Bard).
The character is loosely based in the original Merlin. Quite loosely, I have to say. I made up the Cymrians, some tribes of Celtic folks settled somewhere in the Northern continent - I hope you don't mind. If you guys have instead something similar already in the setting, just tell me and I'll change it to that.
Now, knowing the chance to get selected is quite low, I have to say I've had a wonderful time putting all of this together, and I wish I had time to make another one - the possibilities constantly jumped into my eyes, and I had to discard many cool ideas.
Good luck to y'all!
Edit: As a protector from outer dangers, I took a small "Geas" or drawback: Myrwyn is not using any spell or anything that summons creatures. If I find I mistakenly included one, I'll remove it.
OK, here's Star Love, the genderless Phyrexian mutant, granted empathy and cosmic awareness by the Black Butterfly!
Background, Appearance, and (mostly complete) crunch is in their profile.
I'll keep working on it tonight and tomorrow, but there's enough there to give a sense I hope.
Cheers,
gyrfalcon
EDIT - role is mobile melee striker, with some ranged, a bit of healing, and some kineticist-based battlefield control. His talents are almost all Machine element, with a bit of Void and Water. 3/4 BAB and d8 HD, but pretty resilient.
I spoke to Seb, and we're going to push the close of this to Monday, to make up for Paizo being down most of yesterday. I was going to just extend it to tomorrow, but decided to make it Monday cuz it's also the weekend.
If you have already posted interest, but haven't finished your PC you have until Monday, Feb 14th to mostly complete them. You do not need to be 100% done, but the vast majority should be.
As I am currently staying up quite late, I will likely make selections around 3-5am Monday night(technically early Tues morning).
That's good news for me!
Monkeygod, did you see my Qs above about mythic fixes, and about a light Body Technique?

Thanks, it’s always nice to hear that someone else was into your idea also. But, I’ve got to go plan a funeral in the morning and I just don’t have the time or the energy to write out all my ideas for his background/region/organization/etc, let alone to pick spells, spend 400k, and do all his combat calculations. I do hope the game goes well for all who do play though.

I would love if Eladithas and Myrwyn were both picked! They're essential brothers, having the same mother!!
I'm starting to assemble the maps and images and fluff on the campaign page under the 'maps and images' spoiler if people want to take a look and ask questions.
BTW, I suspect that knowing what's in/out of bench press may not be trivial with builds this complex. I'll just go on record saying that if it seems like it'll improve the game to rebalance parties a bit (toning something up or down) after a bit of gameplay, I'm 100% down for that.
The benchmarks are useful. But i think tricky to avtually enforce once in game.
Very few classes and build in this game are "passive" in that their full capability is noted entirely on their sheet. Most characters are "active" in that they spend resources, actions, or time activating abilities to significantly increase their capability well beyond established expectations.
Like on paper Dyrvic's a tough nut to crack but doesnt hit particularly hard nor is particularly mobile. But, when he gets into stance, has his spirits bound, and atarts getting into rhythm hes a very very different animal. Which in some ways is very close to the character he draws from.
When I made my last post I didn't realize the deadline for already started characters was being pushed all the way back to Monday... I'll do my best to finish as much as I can by then. So, please leave me on the list of active submissions.

I would build with the assumption that you are using the abilities that you can reasonably keep up most combats.
I'd factor in: Your main stance, long-term buffs, medium-term buffs from low-level spell slots, feats that kick in based on your normal MO, big pools like rage or bardic inspiration, small pools like panache or grit that refill easily, and stuff like that.
