One problem, from a narrativist point of view, is when a PC does something that the GM can't imagine. For example, in the original post, the GM can't imagine how you'd disable a collapsing floor equipped only with a dagger and a lockpick. (Which doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible - how are we supposed to know what a master thief is capable of?) If you do something by making a skill check, but the group can't imagine how it was done, then the game has failed at producing a story. Or at least, has failed at producing a good story - the prose equivalent would be if Tolkien had written, "And then Bilbo did something clever, I'm not sure what, and it somehow got the door open."

Which probably happens every time a rogue disarms a magic trap.

/mutters under his breath about damned wizards while carefully arranging fine lines of bat guano and cold iron powder to temporarily disrupt the arcane weave of the trap.

Gods mating with dragons??? What is this, some kind of weird breeding program?

To the matter at hand. I am highly experianced at searching disused locations for items of interest and transporting those items to the appropriate markets. My particular area of specialization involves the detection and neutralization of certain environmental hazards often found in such locations.

You would be surprised how many loaded weapons, structurly unsound floors and carelessly placed spells one can trip over if not careful.

I also have some small skills with alchemical preparations.

The alias has a link to a full character sheet with my background.

I've updated my alias and made a few minor mechanical twinks to bring my background and build into alignment.

Character sheet with artwork is linked inside the alias.

Urgatha = my scantily clad female warrior.

Try something with her. I dare you.

EDIT: Curiously, we've had so many applicants and not one single female character.

The backup character I posted was female 8P

I've never played through Rappan Athuk before but, from what I understand, it's degree of difficulty is higher than your standard PF AP which will (likely) mean a higher percentage of PC deaths.

My understanding is, just entering the dungeon can cause a TPK.

I've updated my Cryptbreaker, Silos Freeborn, and given him a new name more appropriate for Osirion. Back story and personality are done. Appearance matches the image on the sheet.

I will put a stat block up tomorrow. For now, the sheet I am using is easier to maintain and update while building the character. It also allows me to use the art I was looking at when I designed the character.

For now, his primary role is traps, though he will grow into a mix of natural weapons and bombs as the situation demands. (I intend to take mutagen as my first discovery and feral mutagen at 3rd level when beastmorph kicks in.) Advancement past 3rd will be more organic, adapting to the situation at hand.

If in the future I have need of an alternate character, I am always building new ones as ideas strike me.

One possible would be Celebrian Elanesse, a high AC fighter building towards two-weapon sword & board combat.
