If there's more than six posters, let someone else have it, since they will probably get more use out of it than I.

What books are allowed? (Not that commoners have options other than feats and alternate racial traits.)
There's also the Goz Mask
The Tekko-Kagi which "can be used ... defensively like a buckler" is another case.
A typo for "OP", perhaps? If that isn't it, I've got no idea.

This sounds like fun. The classes I'm most interested in seeing how they perform are the swashbuckler, slayer, and brawler, but I might not end up building one of those if another class strikes my fancy.
I'm rather surprised no one's suggested a tiefling rogue with Fiend Sight. Get a consistent source of deeper darkness and sneak attack away. Similar tricks are normal darkvision and normal or magical darkness versus an opponent without it; a Fetchling with Dark Sight and deeper darkness; obscuring mist and the Goz Mask; and the previously mentioned obscuring mist and Waves Oracle. It isn't the sanest tactic, but the Headband of Ninjitsu would let you ignore all those fancy "I can see in the dark" tricks and just blindly shank enemies. Admittedly, a vivisectionist alchemist can pull off every one of those.
Dice 1:

6 11 14 10 10 2 (or less) point buy Since the dice hate me today, I'll be taking the point buy. Playing a troll seems too cool to pass up. I'm also hoping to shoehorn in TALKING LIKE DEATH.
Some world-building questions that would need to be answered are: "Do gods in this world work in such a way that having one grant more domains than usual is doable? Does the number of grantable domains correlate with deific power?" I'm not certain you would need to go as far as setting up specific, formal Clerical Orders or Aspects of the Deity to let monotheistic clerics pick from a large number of domains. It might read something like this: "For some reason, YourDeityNameHere grants his/her clerics certain combinations of domains and denies them others. Both domains must come from one of the following lists: DomainA, DomainB, DomainC, DomainD; DomainA, DomainD, DomainE, DomainF; DomainA, DomainB, DomainF, DomainG." How large the allowed lists are, how many total domains are granted, how much overlap between lists there is, etc. would depend on both world-building stuff about the deity and also game-balance considerations between pantheons.
Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager or Savage Barbarian)/Oracle/Rage Prophet might work. Lame curse, either Lore for Sidestep Secret, Nature for Nature's Whispers (another Cha to AC) or one of the mysteries that give armor (if you can fluff said armor to maintain your nudity).
Animal Ally
Prerequisites: Nature Soul, character level 4th, must not have an animal companion or mount that advances as an animal companion. Benefit: You gain an animal companion as if you were a druid of your character level –3 from the following list: badger, bird, camel, cat (small), dire rat, dog, horse, pony, snake (viper), or wolf. If you later gain an animal companion through another source (such as the Animal domain, divine bond, hunter’s bond, mount, or nature bond class features), the effective druid level granted by this feat stacks with that granted by other sources.
Note that Pathfinder fixed some of the problems of 3.5 Diplomacy (Diplomacy as a standard action and turning someone from Hostile to Helpful)
Carry on without me, I haven't found enough time to even start putting together a character.
Is there a reason you didn't use the rough approximation of 5 ft = 1.5 m = 1 square for the weapon and spell ranges?
There's an FAQ on that here:
That link doesn't work, but here's what he was trying to link to.
One that can do a lot of damage on its own AND packs a lot of versatility.I feel like this is supposed to be a reply to something specific, but I don't know what. This question, perhaps? "What class(or build) do you find the most enjoyable in Society Play?"

Pretty average stats.
Growth subdomain - non-archetyped Druid, Cave Druid, Blight Druid
Which domain do you want? While I don't know enough of your situation to tell who's being unreasonable, I can tell you which domains you can get by dipping various druid archetypes.
Half-orc fighter or rogue
Why do so many posted links to other sites come across with spaces inserted? It doesn't always happen, but oddly often.I may be mistaken but it seems to be for spam protection. If you manually add the url tags the link works just fine IIRC. Anything longer than a certain number of characters, whether it's a url or not, gets a space added. I think it has something to do with wrapping.
NORBYN's Phantasm-thing moves and attacks the GIANT AMOEBIC PROTOPLASM.
I've heard MoMS/Brawler Fighter is decent, but that's not very mystical. Barbarian to pair Beast Totem's pounce and Dragon Style's charge through everything might be another option - if you wanted to you could also dip Martial Artist Monk or Unarmed Fighter for the extra feats. (There's also a trait that lets you be a Neutral or Neutral Good monk, so you could go MoMS/Barbarian if you wanted to.)
It doesn't begin with E, but you might be thinking of gestalt, where you get the best parts of two classes. There's also E6, but that's aimed at maintaining a low-level feel.
It isn't at the same time, but Combat Style Master lets you switch styles as a free action, which lets you have an offensive style (say, Dragon) active while attacking, a defensive style (say, Crane) active during the enemies' turn, a niche style (say, Monkey) when you need it, etc.
VALARIOT keeps beating on the OOZE with her MACE!
Does NORBYN have any magical options? If he doesn't, he should shoot an AMOEBIC OOZE with his crossbow.
@ArmouredMonk13: Monk vows replace Still Mind, which is needed to enter CoI.
Besides Unholy and Align Weapon, other ways to get an evil-aligned weapon are a negatively-charged Greyflame weapon, any weapon wielded by a Marilith, or any weapon wielded by a 6th level inquisitor using the smiting Judgement.
Blind Man's Fold grants the Improved Blind-Fight feat, but also blinds you.
Several Ioun stone + Wayfinder combos: deep red sphere (Improved Unarmed Strike), incandescent blue sphere (Blind-Fight), opalescent white pyramid (Weapon Focus)
How does the gunslinger manage to make all those shots with paper cartridges, without rolling a misfire? It's Seeker territory, but "At 13th level, a pistolero never misfires with a one-handed firearm." Another option would be the (+3 equivalent cost) Greater Reliable enhancement.
Glad to be of assistance.
Okay, I suck at this sort of thing, but I'll try. Here. I could not for the life of me figure out how to add text showing the date and time, but that's me. I'll get Mr. SnowJade to verify it if you like.Nope. Okay, how does this work, somebody? Dammit, that's embarrassing. The end bracket is [/url]
I'm interested. I don't have a character yet, since I'm still digesting the rules, but I do have questions and comments. A Character Point can be used to improve a character’s Health How much Health do you get per Character Point? Multiple Strikes: x Attacks How many attacks do you get if you've put one point in this skill, one or two? Rouges begin with Soft Leather (+2) armor Soft Leather is later listed as +1. Also, you misspelled 'Rogue'. It is assumed that once combat has begun, all characters are within striking distance of each other. If a character decides to disengage from the combat area, move to attack a specific target, or move to make a ranged attack, this ends the character’s turn. If "all characters [begin] within striking distance of each other", don't I only need to "move to attack a specific target" when the target has disengaged or stepped back to make a ranged attack? For a PbP, the GM should roll initiative for everyone to speed things up. It might also be a good idea if, in PbPs, the attacker also rolled the defender's dice. Am I missing something, or are Training Points somewhat redundant? One Character Point buys you either +1 Attack (Training) or one of the following depending on Profession:
Do we start with Character Points or skill points? I am mainly concerned about the lack of healing early on (before the Magi has any points in Heal).
The pfs specific ruling that the arg rules are ONLY for their respective races will thankfully prevent this from happening. Unless that was revoked. Even if it was revoked (which I don't think it was), all the orc stuff in the ARG isn't PFS legal anyway.
Here's two threads that compiled lists of connected scenarios: Link, Link
I don't think Sean or the OP were complaining about the tech level, instead they didn't like the intrusion of the real (albeit, somewhat fictionalized) planet Earth into their fantasy and vice versa.
The Seven-Branched Sword, which is an exotic weapon, lets you trip people to flat-foot them rather than render them prone.
So you are fighting drow, get extra feats, have x/day abilities regenerate, and endless spells? I'd say build a Paladin. They've got minor spellcasting and quite a few x/day abilities that you could spam (Smite Evil, Lay on Hands, Divine Bond), plus the extra feats would let you build a decent archer or switch-hitter.
What four "weaker" classes? I'm guessing fighter, monk, rogue, and ninja, since I rarely see anyone complain about any other classes being underpowered, useless, or replaceable.
Congrats! Keep up the good work.
Both ki and Arcane Strike use a swift action, so you can either spend ki on an extra attack or get the extra damage from Arcane Strike, not both.
I might be interested in Rivalry’s End, I've got a level 3 Cavalier.
A large Falcata wouldn't count as a "two-handed weapon", would it? (I assume he is referring to the fighter archetype, which only works for such.)
Another typo - you haven't removed gripplis, sulis, and vishkanyas from this bit:
In Chapter 3, nothing from the changelings, duergar, gillmen, gripplis, merfolk, samsarans, strix, sulis, svirfneblin, vanaras, and vishkanyas entries are currently legal for play.
