Seeing that the others have the situation in hand, Koayi drops her rapier and leaps on the surviving goblin, trying to pin it so the group can attempt to question it.

This definitely provokes an attack of opportunity.
Surprisingly enough, Koayi manages to pin the Goblin down and hold it in place. The small creature struggles screaming out something that doesn't quiet make sense, "Beggers! Beggers! Let Stinkuk go!"
The Goblin lets out a sigh and drops his weapon. "Stinkuk not to blame!"
It seems like every time a GM posts a game with a set of class and race restrictions the first post is "can I have X that's not allowed?".
I mean seriously, how hard is it to understand what the rules are there for?
Agreed
Though some folks overlook it, read only the first few lines, sometimes it's buried in the words, and sometimes it is something they may or may not be covered.
Often, I think it is that the player already has a build concept that he/she wants to play and is just trying to find a game to put that build into.
I don't know. It feels suspiciously like people just want to push the DM to letting them play these weird things and because they often quote the part of the recruitment where the thing is said not to be allowed you know they have read it.
Cardboard Tube Knight: Why not? I couldn't care less for Alignment rules, anyway, so if it makes sense "history-wise" is good with me. Just remember, combat should be the last option in the missions, normally.
Yeah, I think the monk has some other good synergy options with the kind of character that I am wanting to make.
I have a question. I kind of want to find some way to go mostly unarmed, but as a Master Spy. With the alignment restrictions for monk that doesn't seem doable.
I think I am going to go for a kind of group Face/infiltration and impersonation position. Lots of knowledges and a lot of ranks in to disguise and bluff and diplomacy,
I actually want to play a monk in this game, the story I have lined up for her isn't the traditional monk that I have in mind, but more of a bar waitress that just got used to dealing with rowdy customers.
Not sure if this kind of thing is flavored correctly for this game, but I'm going to try and look into it.
I have seen some other games ignoring it or granting people the ability to use the variants without it, but I'm guessing that the Fiendish Heritage Feat must be taken at first level in this case, correct?
I know this is a longshot but would you be willing to allow Tome of Battle? specifically the Warblade, Bloodclaw Master PrC, and maybe some feats? I have had this idea for a strength rather than dex-based two-weapon fighter for a while but never get the okay. This avatar is the basic setup. Also are there any restrictions on books we can pull from?
The write up you have is great, but I'm going to have to go no on Tome. If you could make it work in Pathfinder somehow then I'll allow it.
The books being allowed depend on what we're allowing. I'm not allowing some of the classes, like the alternate and hybrid. But I would allow feats from that book you were still eligible for or spells. Same thing goes for races, I have Core and three others down, but if there's a feat from Advanced Races that might still be in if it applies to the race or class you've selected.

Added a bit about mundane ammunition, too.
Since you allow early firearms does this exclude or include bullets for guns?
It excludes them. I'm not considering them mundane ammunition. It will include arrows, bolts and whatever it is slings fire (because in the years I've been playing no one has bothered to use the sling).
Ah, different game. I looked over the thread and all, I think that I am going to go with remaking Mordecai (the character from before) as a cleric of Cayden Cailean (he was already a worshiper in the other sheet.
I don't think I knew what this AP was before. I had it confused with another one that was out for a while. I'm dotting this for interest. Going to be playing Wiglaf, a Dwarven Paladin.
Certainly. I spent the day ill so I wasn't really on here all that much. From what I am seeing we're good on melee and there's already a rogue. I'm thinking bard, but I might go for something else entirely. I had a character built for this AP, trying to find it.
I'm going to have my character up later this morning (it's 4 AM here now, need to get a bit of rest before work, but I will finish it there).
It's been a busy day, but I have a finished sheet here. I've re-named her Rhiannon Unwin and here's the sheet for her.
I have an Alias that I can edit, but most of the stats and things stayed the same. Just for good measure I will post the rest of her information here with her sheet.
Background: In the same way that someone is destined to be a Paladin or might feel called to the vocation of Cleric, Rhiannon is a born scholar. Being raised under the crumbling ruins of the Thassilonian Empire caused her to develop an early curiosity for the history of Golarion.
Fiona, her mother, runs a bookstore in Magnimar’s Shore District. Books on the legacy of Thassilonian culture were her toys and best friends. Most of her childhood was spent in her room curled up in the company of a dusty old tome or scroll. Even before she knew the words, Rhia would stare at them for hours.
Rhia grew up as the weird hermit girl. When her mother forced her to go outside and play the only kind of “play” she could manage was exploring the streets for relics (that mostly turned out to be old garbage). The other children became as annoyed with her “relic” hunts as she became with their dismissive attitude about the wonders of the history around them.
Her father, Aeson the Elf, is a scholar in the Pathfinder society—he met her mother when hunting for an old text that he heard she had come by—he taught Rhia the Thassilonian language from a young age, along with Elven and Draconic. She joined the Pathfinder Society, in part, to be closer to her father, but also because it was the only thing that would make good use of her skills.
Rhia is the record keeper for the Pathfinder lodge in Magnimar, but she was sent out on an assignment for the Shallowtail Festival in Sand Point, mostly because she kept annoyingly talking about the event and the fire that burned the original church down (quoting facts and reciting other things she had read).
She was sent on a what should have been a distraction assignment to get her out of the office.
I think I might have the perfect character for this game. My first character ever was a young girl who styled herself as a pirate, but wasn't one and ended up getting swept up in a campagin that turned her into one.
I would like to submit a character I just lost out on a Shattered Star game with. Her name is Amy Unwin and she's a Half-Elf Rogue. I'll have to tweak her backstory a bit to fit with this game, but basically she's a Pathfinder Society member from Magnimar and I would probably just say that she's in town to see the festival because she remembers reading about the murders.
1 & 2. She's a rogue so sneak attacks and critical hits--she also could double as a back up ranged attacker. She's good at trap finding and she's very skill heavy. She's also a scholar. She could read ancient Thassalonian, Draconic and some other languages. She also has a good grasp on ancient history and culture (she had a +9 History check).

4. In my experience it takes a mix of a good DM and the right mix of characters and players to keep any game alive. PbP or otherwise. It also really helps if you encourage the players to get to know each other (experience: I ran a PbP game on another forum for two and a half years).
I'll get her sheet ready because she was built on a lower point buy and post a link.
I've been subscribed to this board for a long time, but only recently started to post. I was just kind of looking to get in on some of the discussion here and get to know others, it might help me in getting picked for games and all.
I've never played Society, but I remember at our game store the guys who did were never very welcoming about it and they didn't seem like they wanted the "campaign" players in their games. I never got the mentality behind it, but I am kind of into the idea of non-organized play anyway.
I have both played and GMed PFS PbP. I never encountered anything like that. It was always fun, open and welcoming, in my experience.
I admit this is a very limited experience on my part. The orgainized play thing interests me a little bit but I think that's because I really like the freedom most normal games offer.

Well, here I am. Sorry about the lapse in communication. I didn't see that the thread had been made already. I don't see a reason that Lux couldn't go either way. Maybe she knows these others or maybe she doesn't. She relatively young and inexperienced--there might be something in another person's back story that she links up with. I will take a look in a bit.
I put Lux's sheet into a much easier to read format here. She should be ready to go. I used the wrong Swashbuckler last time (the 3rd Party one) and I went back and corrected that.
Reposting the rest updated
backstory:
Lux is the daughter of a merchant father and a dressmaker mother from the city of Absalom. Her father did much of his trading by sea and sometimes he would take Lux along with him. When she was eight they were beset by pirates while trying to avoid the Eye of Abendego. The pirates injured her father and took what cargo they could—she tried to raise a sword against them only to have them knock her out.
When she came to the pirate captain’s large tri-corner hat was resting atop her little head. That event is what led to her drive to never be taken advantage of again.
As a very small girl she had bad asthma and her mother would tell her tales of brave heroines and adventure while trying to help her daughter get through the night breathing easy. She eventually outgrew most of the effects of her asthma, but her love of adventure and travel and her want to be like the women in the stories caused her to leave home at the age of twenty on one of her father’s vessels in search of a way to write her own stories.
She's freckly with red-orange hair and hazel eyes. Her hair is usually kept in a haphazard bun. She stands five foot six and can usually be found wearing a tri-corner hat, though sometimes it’s hooked around her neck on a cord or tied at her side.
Working on a Rogue that's an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider/Nathan Drake type. I have her stats and skills all filled in, I just need to work on her items and back story.
