Davin shivers as a chill runs through his body, and he blinks in surprise at the sudden change in Alethia. "Yes, of course I pick the path of the Chosen. To follow in the footsteps of great heroes like Belgarion, Rand al'Thor, Heracles, and more? Absolutely! Sign me up, twice!" He says with a bit of a forced chuckle.
Then she is gone, and a new arrival takes her place. "Any relation to Mister Wolf? Aka Belgarath? I suppose it's fitting that somebody named Lord Wolf also greets me in the afterlife, since wolves are my favorite animal. Despite my nickname being 'Monkey', which often confused people." This time his laugh is more genuine and true.
"Hold on, I get three wishes? *Awesomesauce!!*. And yes, a Luck power would be amazeballs! Maybe something like Longshot's, Domino's, or Mat Cauthon's luck powers?"

It seems like he reads your mind and gives you an answer, "Your luck or wisdom allowed for your extra wishes. You saw through the ploy we spin for most applicants. The wishes are literally the 9th level spell written for pathfinder rules in dungeons and dragons. Where our stories and magic existed before spun on Earth. Arcanium is old compared to Earth. Earth is the 345th world that we have collected from. The first wish is protected and the other two are as the spell is written. If you want my advice use your third wish and ask for the Tome of Wish Making. A tome created by the high priest Jellena Darkling of the goddess of death. Or call her to help with wish making from her prime."
"Wouldn't Mat Cauthon's ability be best, you already had a part of it on Earth. Yup you are one lucky bastard." He happily relays.
"One of my absolute favorite PCs I played in my forty years was the Ragabash werewolf Lucky Lintini. He too was blessed by the spirit of Lady Luck, and ended up insanely wealthy. He also rose to become the head of his own mafia family, Lintini Enterprises. However, he wasn't a bad guy/villain/evil bastard, like how many mafioso are portrayed. Rather, he was more akin to a Robin Hood type figure, using his vast wealth and criminal connections to help the needy/poor/homeless/etc. In fact, one of the first things he did once he became truly rich was design a casino that favored the downtrodden, rigging it a bit in their favor so they could get that one win that they often so desperately needed. He also created what basically amounted to a mini village around the casino that provided free or incredibly cheap housing, health and day care, groceries and more. That's kind of hero I'm going to be. I'm going to use all my powers and abilities to help the people of Acranium who need it the most. If that means defeating and destroying those Dark Souls Alethia mentioned or closing portals that presumably lead to dangerous places, then that's what I'll do! After all, Lucky battled the dark forces of Phobos, one of the Neverborn, so I shall do the same!" He exclaims proudly.
He considers the wishes, and his luck powers. "Hmm, the Tome of Wish Making sounds intriguing, what exactly does it do? As for my powers of luck, I need a few moments to consider that. Mat's luck was extraordinary to be sure, but only affected him. Domino's however could also apply to her enemies, though she didn't really have control over it. Not that Mat did really did either." He says, again with an easy chuckle.
"I do know what I want for my first, protected wish. Back when I was alive, on Earth, I always said that if I ever got a wish that could grant me more or less anything, I would want the powers of the character Meggan from Excalibur. Now, I realize she has a ton of powers and abilities, including powerful shapechaning, reactive evolution, power mickery, and control of the natural elements, among others. As such, I doubt I could have all of her powers all at once."
1/day, at 7th level (2 rays)
Either of your minor choices is fine but you have to pick which one. I would wave the 3rd level requirement so you have access to that one..
I’ll take the Oracle’s Molten Skin. I like it better.
GM - given that Bralani have Cure Serious on their spell list, may I please add the Cure Spells to my spell list? I will do it manually in HeroLab so we can see it there also.

Alright I am ready when you are:
My hands move down my body doing an automatic check for health as I go reciting air,breathing, bleeding big three out of the way. Alright: shock, fracture, internal, environmental, head injury. Nope. Standing up I remember having the chest pain and collapsing in the bitter cold in the deep woods and nothing else. Here I am in a nothing and yet I feel and can think? Where is this?
Sounds good Sir Drystan!
Sure Jacen.
Considering what he'd had and what he'd lacked, he added, "Hell, let's be greedy, and throw in some magic and some luck too. I get that being an all rounder will make me weaker at specifics, but it'll also cover my weaknesses. I like being able to heal. I learned first aid and basic medical stuff for a reason, after all."
He paused. "Or are you asking for something more esoteric, like my philosophy of heroring? Which would be 'pragmatic'. Save everyone you can and hope your brain doesn't melt into ooze over those you can't."
As a side note, history and character sheet are now in this profile, along with a couple of suggestions for potential extras.
"Ever since I was a little Monkey, I've been drawn to the various trickster deities in mythology. Hermes, Loki, Coyote, Anasai, etc. I've always been fascinated by shapechangers of all kinds as well. Thus for my first wish, I wish for the legendary shapeshifting powers of those gods, for ability to not only take on forms mundane, magickal, and mythical, but to also gain the special abilities, superhuman powers, and even aspects of the internal anatomy of whatever I become. Thus, if I were to become a dragon, I would have their breath weapon, natural attacks, and whatever other powers they might possess. Whereas if I became a wolf, I would gain their enhanced senses, endurance(wolves can often run for days without tiring), and bite attack."

Jonathan, are you familiar with the Giant template? Seems like the sort of thing you're looking for.
I am, I just thought Giantblooded was more fun. Also, more 'oomph' to it.
Heya Wolf, for some reason the spoiler tag won't open for me. Would you mind popping what was in there here?
She simply says, "Let it be so!"
** spoiler omitted **
Connect and talk with each other or the NPCs. There is a whole slew of commoners milling around.
The background would be helpful to get your boosts Davin.
Oh gotcha Jonathan I will check it out.
Let's do it this way so it won't be lost again!
Niversal I think your wish is pretty well smoothed out, though you do need to wish it with the Goddess.

Alright, sorry for the delay. After considering my options, I reverted to building a worshipper of Asmodeus and skilled lawyer! Here finally is Bill Li, Asmodean Advocate Cleric. He has to be the most underpowered character I've ever created, which is the unfortunate consequence of building myself into D&D--might need to just let everyone else fight and keep myself focused on social interactions!
Let me know what I ought to do next.
*Edit* - Made some changes to get Augment Summoning so that he can specialize in summoning fiendish allies (or really anything else). Why do the dirty work when you can have others do it for you? Hopefully that'll allow him to contribute more.
No worry boys though the story will continue! I am hoping the other players will interact with each other or my npcs more.
It seems like paizo is having troubles too so some people might be having troubles logging in.
Tazo/Bill Li: Your next step is to go to discussion tab and click on the spoiler in the first post and respond to the Goddess. We will get your specials all sorted out then you can head down to gameplay.

A great deal of trouble. I was pretty cranky not getting in for almost 24 hours. CLEAR YOUR COOKIES. That is what worked for me. Does not mean clearing everything, cookies only works just fine.
I did my background, but I only did a cliffsnotes. I found writing about myself real weird, honestly. If more detail is needed I'll be happy to provide it.
"Now to clarify you are wishing for what and the other is your ability?"
Reading your thoughts she helps you with your dilemma, "You are embracing a new plane of existence. Also there are many different planes of existence, heavens, and hells."
Its up to each of you to decide how much or little you want to put in your background. Is there anyone that hasn't gotten boosts yet?
She brings forth two cards. She has them hover before your face so you can see them and read them. She offers, "How about these two abilities that will help your future, though maybe not to see the future."
Misfortune (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
Fortune (Ex): As an immediate action, you can reroll any one d20 roll that you have just made before the results of the roll are revealed. You must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. You can use this ability once per day.
Hey!
Does someone have a good link for the 1000 Minute Background?
I thought I had one but I cannot seem to find it.
Thanks!
I've added the giantblooded template, but other than that, no boosts.

You may want to tell us what you are thinking, using italics, that way I can give you quests. Sure you could say something but thinking is more natural, unless you are talking to someone about a quest.

"For my next wish, I wish my words carried more weight to those who heard them, that my leadership was more effective to those who stand with me, and that my ways would be better received by others."
