I don't have one. Will try to get one tonight after work(I get off at 1pm you time so I should be good) and send you my character then too.


Naturally Rorik will have the gunsmithing feat. Shame to the dwarf who can't repair the non-magical aspects of his own equipment. Greater shame to a dwarf of clan Cragblaster to do the same(the one thing all my dwarves have in common is that they all come from my self-made dwarf clan, and they all share the culture of the Cragblasters, a most proud, prolific, talented, and diverse[at least by Dwarven standards] clan).


Ranger, I'll be playing a ranger, since I can't guarantee being available every tuesday and I would make very roleplaying intensive characters for a rogue or inquisitor, whereas a Ranger I kinda want to make a more stoic and gruff character that could more easily hang in the background or run off for when I'm not available.

@BUSquirrel: Are you using Ultimate Combat Firearms rules? If so I want to use the Trophy Hunter Archetype for rangers so I can have a dwarf w/ a gun


Will have to build my character tomorrow while on duty. Have been busy this weekend. Will submit to you[BUSquirrel] asap tuesday(don't have internet beyond my phone on my ship, where I'm stuck on duty days)


Truth. Also, I've found online stuff better suited for handling large numbers of characters, with large groups sitting around an actual table people start distracting one another while waiting for their turn and derailing gameplay, rare for similar stuff to happen in an online environ.


I wouldn't be opposed to it if you have room. However availability is an issue for me. I'm navy, and my ship goes out to sea one week out of every month right now, and I have duty on tuesday once or twice a month. I'm fond of Ventetrilo. And I'd likely play a rogue, ranger, or maybe inquisitor, y'know, to add in a skilled/sneaky type

That's fine, if 32 looks correct, use 32. Sorry for the confusion. I do accept psionics, you will find I am relatively open to player options.

Awesome, thanks, I've already worked out some of her stuff, I'll finish her up soon. Might not be on much for the next week though, have to visit the 'rents and do some nanny duty for the baby brother

Oh and to Pathfinderize the Psion, since they've made Wizard and Sorcerer hit die d6can I boost the Psion hit die from d4 to d6? And since all Caster related uses for the bygone Concentration have been move to Spellcraft, should I use Psicraft to get Psionic Focus and to Manifest Defensively?

Confirming a 20 point buy - the existing characters seem higher. Also wondering about starting hp and any other happy-house-rules. Point buy and the mystic theurge seem like a bad plan. Noticed a cleric and a sorcerer in the mix...

I'll try out a druid...

I believe we used the 20-point buy, but I am a forgetful monkey. I will ask the others if we used a 3.5 32-point system or something of that nature.

I have the Pathfinder rules already. Will play whatever party needs, ave a lot of little characters running around right now, so I'm not picky

For the Sewers:

I would try two tracks from Peter Gabriels Soundtrack for BIRDY.

Track 7: Birdy's Flight (great for chasing scenes, thouhg a bit short)
Track 9: The Heat (I once used it for a ritual where a demon was called, which should fit well in Cheliax).

Other stuff I can suggest:
2 albums from "Tangerine Dream" called "zeit", and the other "Phaedra".
Those two are very awesome!

The album "Spiritual Archives" from Delerium

The album "Heresy" from Lustmord (so dark and one of the best I ever used in RPGs.

More to come, if I have time!
Hopefully some of those might help you out!

Thanks a lot, yeah, I'm looking into them, they sound good so far.


I'm going to be be starting a Council of Thieves campaign shortly. My players are easily distracted, and I've found that music helps, but the music itself can't be too distracting either.

Anyway I'm looking for different kinds of music for the different sections of the adventure, suggestions would be appreciated. Those of you who don't want even a little of the adventure spoiled for you probably shouldn't read below

Spoiler:
For the Sewers I'd like something creepy and eerie, but fast paced, since they're supposed to be running away.

I'm not certain what I want for the carriage ambush.

For attacking the Bastards I want something infernal sounding, dark and violent.

Also would like some good music to have random fights to that would suit the them of the campaign.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, thinking about second character, hey for the npc classes to balance out leftover ecl can we gestalt two nps classes? that might do a better job at making up the ecl difference


I'm probably interested, depending on the flavor of the game.


Think I'll do a Gestalt Cleric/Wizard, Half Eladrin(Half-Celestial)/Half Human, really a Half-elf, but a magical experiment from a Wizard he was apprenticed to accidentally targeted him and caused a bit of a change(pretty much same thing that happened to Araevin Teshur in The Last Mythal series)

Or then again maybe a Gestalt Wizard/Rogue, I'd make it a Half-Fiend at that point though.

And Fighter/Rogue is tempting...

Pathfinder Beta. Possibly to change to full Pathfinder when I get the book - which will not be any time soon. (I get my books from Canada. I do not pay shipping costs, but have to wait, so...)

Ah, okay, will try to come up with want I want to play


I'm in, Not sure what I'll make though.

Pathfinder or 3.5 rules?


I'm definately in

when i get a chance i will finish of my character (i just need to finish the cohort off he is a dwarf cleric called Orrin Ironstar)

*Jumping up and down like an excited child* Ooh, ooh! Hey, hey, Raven, can Orrin be Orik's Cousin? Because seriously, that'd be AWESOME!!!

*Shakes off the facade* Lol anyway, no seriously, that could potentially be hilarious, I love the whole bickering Dwarven family members thing like in Salvatore's work.


Okay, here's my character, all shiny and finished.

Orik Cragblaster

Let me know if you have any trouble viewing that

ok everyone how soon can you have your char. ready. i kind of want to start sometime this week.

Mine's nearly done. Just need to finish equipping him. 100,000 Platinum you said? Also I re-rolled his abilities scores(Had used roll 4 take away lowest), I got 13,18,14,16,14,15, that alright?

And Raven, Allizor, I'm taking full advantage of your Craft Wondrous Item and Forge Ring feats if you don't mind. And Raven, did you end up giving your Cohort a Craft feat?


Well I'm going to be a cleric in another game so I'd prefer Rogue, probably a Half-Elf or Elf. A Scoundrel with his own (Perhaps a little twisted) sense of honor. The clever, sneaky, fast-talking sort of Rogue. Think something in between Malcolm Reynolds and Jarlaxle Baenre

stil got room for another?
Hi Dewn. Your welcome to join, either as a Rogue or a Cleric. Let me know which one and I can let you have some more info.

Well if you've got room for a rogue or a cleric can I assume you have room for both? If so I'll take whichever of the two Dewn doesn't.

Awesome. Yeah I think I'll make a Dwarf Fighter, as generic as it is I've always wanted to play one. I'm wanting to use some feats and racial sub levels from Races of Stone and a few feats from PHB2 from 3.5, is that alright?

YOU ARE 18 LV GO NUTS!!!

see above

Cool. Just wanted to make sure You were allowing 3.5 stuff in, some DMs want to just use pathfinder by itself.

I'm not all that much interested in the concept of divine vs. arcane magic. It would work in monotheistic society, but not in polytheistic methinks. So, I'll wait for the rest of the group to decide what to play, and then I'll create a character based on the group needs.

It can still work in polytheism, either the government has decided arcane magic to be too dangerous, or the gods, never having a god of magic or defeating that god, don't like the idea of magic coming from any source besides themselves and have thus allied to squash out arcane magic and keep it banned from society.

Think I'll go with necromancer, then, and a cleric devoted to a god wanting to bring aracne magic back will give me the RP application for the cleric levels. Perhaps Nethys is coming back?

Idk, this is Pathfinder, but it's also a homebrew, I'm not sure if I'm liking Nethys or not just yet. So maybe he'll be our god of magic, or maybe we can use another from somewhere. If everyone really wants Nethys than I won't complain, I was just thinking that maybe I could find someone else.


Hey I just had an idea for my character. Okay, so arcane magic is forbidden, that suggests there's no God of Magic or if there are they've been long forgotten. Perhaps they were defeated by another god or gods and have been slowly recovering there power and are now ready to restore their church. Or perhaps a new god from another pantheon or cosmology wants in on this world's worshipers and wants to bring arcane magic to prosperity on this world.

Either way I want to play a cleric of such a god, the first of their new priesthood. Dedicated to building/rebuilding the faith, and freeing and nurturing arcane magic.


Dragonborn3 wrote:

Glad to have you on board(pun?).

I'm thinking about trying a necromancer. Thoughts anyone?

That would likely be your best bet if you wanted to disguise yourself as a neutral or evil priest, that'd give you the mastery over negative energy and obviously undead to fool others into thinking you were.


Chris Parker wrote:
Certainly sounds interesting, though another idea may be a sorcerer who must, for obvious reasons, keep his gifts a secret. It would certainly give him a very good reason to want to bring about change.

Of course one might be able to use their sorcerous talents to pass off as a priest, obviously a neutral one focused on negative energy or an evil one to explain the lack of healing, but it might be possible, Bluff is a Sorcerer class skill after all.

Mind if I join in? I'll play whatever role needs filled, but I'm most likely to play a Rogue in this sort of setting, or maybe a ranger. Heck as a Ranger I could be a bounty hunter that goes after arcane casters. Likely he'd only do it for money, not out of any hatred for arcane casters, allowing him to befriend one in the party and find a way to use his connections as a bounty hunter to their aid.

Well assuming I get in I'll likely play a rogue, or whatever the party needs, I'm not picky about my class so long as I can make the character interesting.


Hey you have any more room, I've wanted to play Bastion forever(Never read the adventure so no metagame knowledge to worry about.)? If you're needing something I'm more than happy to fill in an empty role(I don't think I saw a tank/bruiser, can make one if needed).


I'm looking for Pathfinder games in particular, but I'll play 3.5 or 4E. Willing to play in an already running game(In real life I usually have to have my character inserted into the pre-existing games of the few groups I can find) as well as new ones, will play classes the party needs.


Well I can see you have no shortage of willing players. But nevertheless I'd like to get in on the game, I've never done play by post for a true rpg, but it was in-forum roleplays that got me into tabletop rpgs in the first place and I've been dying to find a pathfinder game.
