Hello all our running Giantslayer campaign recently dropped a member down to an acceptable 4 however it has been decided amongst the group to bring the number back up to 5.
The party thus far consists of a Zen Archer, a sorcerer, a cleric, and a bloodrager. We currently would like to add for lack of a better term a skill monkey. There are many classes that can fill this roll. Our Zen Archer currently has trapfinding through a trait i let him take so a rouge is not the necessary class.

details:
Expectations: 1 post per day as i feel is generally expected.
Don't focus too much on min maxing, I'd prefer a strong backstory rather than a perfect robot.
I do not care about experience on PBP, but realize that this is a commitment. Going out of town/becoming unreachable for a bit tell me.
Language: Everyone involved so far is not overly

Onto the stuff you need to know.
Character creation:
Rather not deal with 3rd party for all sections
Races: If it’s not common you better have a good reason for it being in Belkzan( as is the case with our Gathlain friend, between a story hook in book 2 of the AP and a good backstory he made me okay with the strangeness of him).
Classes: All okay. Preferred Unchained if applicable/standardly agreed is better(i.e. summoner) Try and complement/fill out rolls not hit on so far.
Alignment : Its a good campaign so no evil.
Stats : 25 point buy. Nothing bumped over 18 by a racial bonus(hard cap). Avoid scores under 8, soft cap again I can be swayed by a good reason.
Gold: Average
We are using Background Skills.
Traits: 1 campaign, 1 other. Drawbacks for a third case by case. No rich parents/chosen one.

Jubilation fills the evening air in the normally staid town of Trunau, for it is the twelfth birthday of the Chief Defender’s youngest daughter, Ruby, and the townsfolk have been preparing all day for the ceremony and festivities to follow. A throng of spectators has amassed at the town Commons; the buzz of the crowd subsides as the weathered town leader, Halgra of the Blackened Blades, takes the stage and begins to speak.

“Thank you all for joining us this night. I take immense pride in my responsibility as Chief Defender, especially when it comes to the honor of the hopeknife ceremony. It is always a great privilege to bequeath Trunauan youths their hopeknives as they come of age.” Halgra stops speaking long enough to open an ornamental case and retrieve a slender, ornately decorated dagger hanging from a silver chain.

“But tonight is a special occasion, for the recipient of this hopeknife is none other than my youngest daughter.” Once again, Halgra pauses, but this time she turns to talk to the child beside her. “Ruby, by the traditions of our town, you have come of age. This hopeknife represents your responsibilities as an adult and defender of Trunau. You must be willing to use it on yourself, your fellow Trunauans, and your family—even me, should it come to that. It will be a far quicker death than that which the orcs will offer, and providing it is your duty. Do you swear to guard Trunau from all comers, and to use your hopeknife only for its intended purpose?” Ruby—dusky skinned, black haired, and painfully shy—nods her head in response to her mother’s question.

“If the orcs come, and there is no other option, this is where you cut—here, here, and here.” Halgra demonstrates which arteries to sever while Ruby watches. When she is finished, Halgra sheathes the hopeknife and places the necklace around Ruby’s neck before turning back to address the crowd. “Tonight, Ruby becomes a full member of our community! Let us welcome her, and celebrate her passage into adulthood! Trunau forever!” The crowd echoes Halgra’s last words in unison, signaling the end of the ceremony.

Hello all! Welcome. A few friends and I have decided to run a game of Giantslayer. We currently have 3 party members and are looking for at least 1 more person possibly a 5th if I really love a character. We are planning to begin next Sunday(22nd of May).

A bit about me. I've been playing tabletop RPGs on and off for the past few years and recently transitioned into PBP. This will be my first time as DM. So have a bit of patience with me :D.

The party so far is composed of a cleric(unfinished), a dwarf zen archer, and a wildblooded gathlain sorcerer. I'd ask that you make an informed decision on what type of character to add to and complement this party make up.

Expectations: 1 post per day as i feel is generally expected.

General disscussion, strategy planning and out of character stuff goes here as per usual.
