None of the PCs are good, two are evil, and they work for the Red Mantis Assassins, a LE organization. However, they have been filled in that if they're responsible for the child's death, their lives are forfeit as far as the organization is concerned.
To further color the situation, they are planning on killing his mother, a powerful cleric of Shelyn, in order to get to her son. It hasn't played out quite yet so we'll see what happens, but there's a good chance that the son will bear witness to his own mother's death.
I'm running a campaign where my PCs have been tasked with kidnapping a child prodigy bard, who is the the son of Shelyn's herald The Spirit of Adoration. The child is a musical prodigy who despite only being only six years old is already at 4th level. I'm planning for him to be an Aasimar, and I'm thinking of applying either the half celestial or a mythic level in trickster, possibly both. My PCs are at sixth level.
I want to design this character not to fight the PCs, but to escape from them. I want the encounter where they search for him to be memorable and difficult, but not impossible. There should be an opportunity for them to fail, and consequences if they do fail. They'll be searching for him in a large mansion, and possibly in a demi plane that connects to Shelyn's realm on Nirvana.
What Bard abilities would make for a memorable round of hide and seek? Should I incorporate Mythic or Half Celestial into the mix? How do I make this challenging and memorable without focusing on direct combat? What holes could my PCs exploit in order to find the child?
I'm just curious if anyone has run something similar or if they've played Bards enough that they have general advice. It is vital to the story that this character is a Bard, and it is vital that the character is very young, but otherwise everything is flexible.
As far as an adventure that gives the characters a satisfying and heroic arch, I think that Wrath of the Righteous is a great choice. The story is very much one of good triumphing over evil, but even though the pcs are confronted with an unambiguously foul foe, they often have to hard decisions in order to ensure that they do what's best for the people they're protecting. I would run it without mythic rules though, mythic rules are complex and they tend to break the game.
I really want to play a paladin of Shelyn dedicated to love and compassion, healing the broken, and protecting the weak. Cheliax has so many of the wounded and the downtrodden that I think it could be a very compelling fit.
As a DM running a recently concluded kingdom building campaign, I'm now really tempted to reconvene my group because an evil archmage has literally flown away with their kingdom.
Is Rasmir Golarion's magnificent bastard? Seems like you'd have to be not just powerful, but pretty savvy and charismatic to convince an entire nation worth of people that you're a living god.
If someone leaves your two person game, you find someone new or it dies, end of story. But that's kind of a risk you have to take when you're running with a small group. In general, it's best to build towards the characters skill set. With a larger group, PCs can come up with solutions to just about every kind of problem, but with a two person group it's way easier to come up with an encounter that the PCs simply CANNOT solve. If they have no way to attack an enemy at range, for example, and their enemy can fly then they are just screwed. You as a DM have to be much more aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and you must always plan accordingly to keep things fun for them.
What if there was a tavern serving spiked potions, with drug like effects that are thematic for the spells that they mirror? Like, a tavern that serves potions of barkskin that cause imbibers to feel a heaviness in their limbs, or potions of haste that make you feel super jittery, or even something crazy like a potion of color spray that would really mess you up.
I'm currently in a Reign of Winter campaign playing a lunar oracle. We're pretty flush with cash at this point, and I was thinking of picking up a Ring of Revelation. Now, it says on the pfsrd that if you have a high enough UMD you can make use of the revelation in the ring even if you're not of the correct mystery. What are the most powerful revelations that you can pick up using this trick?
My favorite character I've ever played is The Great Gambolbini, a human arcane sorcerer who was absolutely convinced he was a wizard when in fact he was an absolute idiot with an intelligence of 6. He would constantly give misinformation on different monsters the pcs were fighting, often exchanging a single word to disastrous results. However, he was so charismatic that he was very good at convincing everyone to go along with anything he said. Also, he would consistently forget his own name, and add various syllables to it.
There's also the Spell Dancer Archetype for the Elvish Magus. It is an elf specific racial archetype, but it's not like being an elf is bad if you want to play a magus anyway.
You are not giving any relevant advice to the OP. This thread is three years old. They've likely already finished running a full adventure path at this point. Start a new thread where you tell people what adventure paths they should run if it strikes your fancy, but please don't drag a thread like this one screaming back from the dead. It clutters the front of the advice page.
Have them fight something that uses a mind control ability that turns the party against itself, like an aboleth, while the actual monster remains out of sight. Instead of just killing their fellow party member, it will force them to try to figure out what is causing the mind control from afar. Nothing helps players go back to strategy instead of brute force like fighting an intelligent enemy with powerful spell like abilities that remains out of sight.
RAW, eldritch heritage cannot get you an animal companion through the sylvan bloodline. First, you cannot use eldritch heritage to get a bloodline ability from a wild blooded modified archetype, because it comes from an archetype. Second, and more importantly, the animal companion ability of the sylvan bloodline counts as both the first level bloodline power and bloodline arcana, because it replaces both from the original bloodline. Eldritch heritage only gives you access to the bloodline power, not the bloodline arcana. That being said, if your GM is amenable and it's central to your concept, I say go for it. It's not that much of a bending of the rules.
Way of the Wicked by Fire Mountain Games is pretty stellar and exists in a world outside of Golarion. Really great adventure if you don't mind dealing with an entirely evil party.
It stacks, you do not get two familiars. They are considered to be the same class feature, not different kinds of class features. If you had a wizard with a familiar that took the eldritch heritage (arcane) feat to get another familiar, it would not work because it is a redundant feature.
A really good build is empyrial blooded sorcerer (using wis instead of cha as prime casting) into Sohei monk into eldritch knight. This lends itself to an extremely defensive build that has proficiency in all martial weapons, but still boosts your casting well.
Also a flame oracle might be what you're looking for.
I guess if you're already playing gestalt it's fine, I would just hope that the rest of the people in the party are on a similar level of being generally scary. What does deadly agility do?
I've had multiple animal companions before, but the way that I've done it such that it doesn't wig out the party is that they're the same kind of animal and they take redundant actions, that way it doesn't take a ton of time to play them. Also I limit myself to taking only two companions at a time for two reasons, because each individual companion will be stronger that way (less spread on levels/boon companion needs) and because it takes substantially less time. If you want to play with more than one companion, for the love of god do not play three wildly different to play companions.
Sylvan Sorcerers are great, and you should play one of those. The battlefield control potential on those is second to none. Also, don't forget to pick up boon companion to get a fully leveled up animal companion.
Yes. It would certainly break the game. Your character could cherry pick the best spells from each caster list, and you'd end up with a monstrosity. If you're still concerned about the rift between wizard and sorcerer, just let sorcerers get second level spells at third level.
So, I'm currently in a pathfinder game where I'm playing an oracle with the deaf curse. I want to pick up the spell Command, because it seems very powerful. Command has a verbal component, which presumably would be silenced as per the silent spell feat due to the 1st level perk from the mystery. However, it's also a language dependent spell. Would my deaf oracle be able to cast the spell without the 20 percent spell failure? Would silent spell even be applicable to a language dependent spell in general? How does this work?
Paragon surge is still worth it, regardless of the various nerfs, although now I will probably swap the skill focus for exotic weapon proficiency, Fauchard, which is basically just a better longspear.
@Anzyr: In order to get the CHA to AC that stacks with dex from Celestial Obedience (Arshea), I have to be 12th level. So while if I was starting the campaign at 12th level it would be a good pickup, I think for now I'm just gonna go for Prophetic Armor.
I like Noble Scion, Scion of War, but I really don't have the first level feat for it unless I want my character to really suck for the first two levels. I would have the feat at third considering I'm not picking up eldritch heritage anymore, but it says I can only take the feat at first level. Much as I want the extra feat, I really can't be human because so much of my build is reliant upon half elf status (boosted animal companion and paragon surge). I'll probably just bite the bullet and take extra revelation at 3rd instead of at 1st level.
I think this build is still quite solid, just not quite as broken as it used to be before the FAQs. Thanks all for bringing the flaws in my build to my attention.
Rangers are pretty friendly and very fun to play. I suggest the ranger because it's more versatile and more powerful than both the fighter and rogue while still being fairly simple to build and play. Same with a barbarian.
So, I'm building a half elf lunar oracle for an upcoming Reign of Winter campaign, and I want to build this character using all of the most broken oracle tricks that I've discovered over the years. I want this character to be the most flexible character possible, capable of emulating the greatest number of powerful features from other classes. I'm not looking to build this character to shut down the usefulness of other characters and dominate every encounter, but rather to be able to contribute in every possible situation and to be incredibly resilient. I'm looking to make sure that I've build my character according to RAW and that I haven't overlooked any powerful tricks I should be aware of. The GM has decided to give us 20 point buy instead of 15, and we are starting at level one. So far, here is my first level build:
Jorvan Grint, Half Elf Lunar Oracle 1,
Str 16, Dex 7, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 7, Cha 19
HP 10, Fortitude +2, Reflex +4, Will +0. Base Movement 30 Ft, Init. -6
AC 19 (Chain Shirt with Armored Kilt +5, +4 from Charisma)
CMB: +3 CMD: 17 (+3 from strength, +4 from Charisma )
Dual Cursed Archetype, Deaf (primary) and Wolfscarred Curses (Wolfscarred curse gives a 20 percent spell failure on all spells with verbal components, but deaf lets me cast all spells as if silent, so it balances out)
Prophetic Armor Revelation (Cha instead of Dex for AC, CMB and Reflex Saves) and Primal Companion Revelation (one from extra revelations feat) getting a Big Cat Animal Companion
Skill Focus Knowledge (Religion) from Half Elf Adaptability Racial Trait.
Cold Honed, Keen Senses, Low Light Vision, Elf Blood, and Multitalented Racial Traits.
Longspear +3 1d8+4 Damage with Reach and Brace
Bite +3 1d4+3 Damage.
Put Favored Class Bonus for first level into Boosting Primal Companion Revelation by half a level.
Umbral Unmasking Drawback, Bully Trait, The Pack Trait, Keeper of the Veil Trait.
Disguise +9, Handle Animal +10, Intimidate +9, Knowledge (Religion) +7.
I decided to go Half Elf because I have access to the powerful human favored class bonus (extra spells known at one bellow highest casting level) and Elf favored class bonus for oracles (+1/2 level of Oracle Revelation). This will give me both extra spells and an animal companion that is a few extra levels above the curve. I plan to alternate taking these different perks every other level.
Also, half elf gives me access to the extremely powerful paragon surge spell starting at level six, which lets me nab any extra feat that I do not have but qualify for for the duration of the spell. I can use this to get the Extra Revelation Feat and give myself any revelation of the lunar list that I do not have, or gain any spell from the oracle list that I do not have temporarily through the Expanded Arcana Feat.
At Third Level I plan to take the Eldritch Heritage (Arcane) Feat to gain a familiar. This will set me up at level eleven to be able to temporarily cast any divine spell off the Wizard or Sorcerer List if I use Paragon Surge to give myself the Improved Eldritch Heritage (Arcane) Feat. I also plan to take the Gift of Horn and Claw Revelation to give myself two extra claw attacks in addition to the bite.
At Fifth Level I plan to take the Divine Protection Feat to give myself my Charisma bonus to all of my saves. At this level I'll take the Misfortune Revelation from the Dual Cursed Oracle Archetype to force opponents to reroll as an immediate action.
At Seventh Level I plan to take the Still Spell feat, giving myself the ability to cast spells at one level lower without either their verbal or somatic components. Consider that I plan to take the Form of the Beast Revelation, this will let me use beast shape and still give me the ability to cast spells (but at one level lower and as a full round action) while in beast shape.
Past that, I do not have my character planned out.
My Oracle will both have more spells than the average oracle and a higher level animal companion than the average druid. Furthermore, the character will have the ability to wildshape below the ability of a druid while also casting spells, but they will have this ability nonetheless. Furthermore, access to paragon surge will give them temporary access to every utility spell on the oracle list that most oracles will not be able to take. Charisma is my primary defensive ability, as it applies not only to AC, Combat Maneuver Defense, and Reflex Saves Twice, but also to all of my other saves. My character should have decent strength and a beefy flanker to contribute to Melee even when not casting spells. And at level eleven, this character has temporary access to all spells on the wizard and sorcerer list through Paragon Surge.
I've used a number of different pathfinder books in building this character, but I was wondering if my build is missing anything that could make it more versatile or powerful. Again, my goal is not to invalidate the rest of my party, but rather to be both flexible and resilient. Also, I want to make sure that everything works as I think it should RAW. Thank you for your time, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Ring of Revelation is always a good choice for oracles. It gives them another revelation either from their mystery, or if their use magic device skill is high enough, it can even give them a revelation from a different oracle mystery.

I think good GMs can do a lot to bridge the gap between casters and martials in higher levels by prescribing to the "rule of cool". For example, I was playing a 13th level game with a Barbarian with an extremely high intimidate check. We were fighting a lich and his black dragon minion. So, the whole party is having a really hard time with the encounter when the Barbarian jumps onto the back of the black dragon and makes his intimidate check by a mile. He then asks if he can use the check to ride the dragon, and command it to start fighting the lich. Because he got such a high score, and the idea seemed so cool, the GM went along with it even though it wasn't explicitly written into the rules. The creativity of the player and the agreement of the GM led to a super flavorful solution to a very difficult encounter that the rest of us were willing to accept.
Versatility equals greater power, but only in the hands of a superior pilot. In the hands of a perfect pilot, I think the caster would ALMOST ALWAYS be more relevant than the martial character. But luckily, Pathfinder in practice is not a game of perfect piloting, but rather of imperfect players trying to figure out situations on the fly and solve them given a character concept. Martial characters always and constantly supply a powerful baseline, the ability to deal damage, that is applicable to practically all of the obstacles that a GM throws at their characters, while a caster may be better or worse able to contribute on the basis of the applicability of the spells they have prepared.
But even more importantly, Pathfinder is a cooperative game between players. This argument doesn't matter a whole lot because, when played well, the whole team is contributing to solve the problems thrown at them, and the GM is designing the problems to throw at his playgroup with the parties composition in mind. Often the best spellcasting strategies are the ones that use the martial characters to their best advantage and give them more of the spotlight, such as buffing and healing. The game is won or lost as a group, not as an individual. So I wouldn't worry about the argument overmuch unless you have disruptive players who are taking away from the groups overall enjoyment.
I think casters are generally considered to be more powerful than martial characters not because they have any one ability that breaks the game, but because of the absolute versatility spells lend them in solving the problems that the game throws at them. I've been in a game where it was not a caster, but rather the ranger who was breaking the game, killing the entire encounter with his arrows before anyone else had the chance to act. But the GM designed several clever encounters to separate the ranger from their bow, and they were next to useless. They could only really attack problems along a single axis, and as soon as the ability to attack along those lines was taken away, it invalidated that character.
Casters, meanwhile, gain more and more spells with each level they advance. Each spell offers the chance for attacking encounters along a different axis. A caster can pigeonhole themselves to attacking along a single axis, such as pure blasting builds, but there is no need to do so. Each caster can pick a number of different spells, and most casters can change the spells they prepare each day. When a caster has an understanding of the game and how to solve each problem it throws at them, there's almost always a spell at their disposal that will serve as a solution. And as they accumulate levels, the number of problems they can solve per day increases.
Meanwhile, martial characters rely primarily upon static feats and class abilities to confront the problems that the game throws at them. And while a martial character can be built to overwhelm most problems, it is impossible to build them to solve all problems, like you can build the caster. The number of class features they are offered are simply more limited than the number of spells a caster is provided with.
Winning everything is about always being relevant, always having solutions to the diverse problems that pathfinder as a game throws at players, and I think the caster delivers in this regard while the martial character is lacking.
Already a half orc scarred witch doctor is being played. It doesn't get more optimal than that archetype.I say go nuts on the paragon surge oracle, but do it as a half elf. In everywhere but pathfinder society, half elves get the choice of either human or elven favored class bonuses. Elves have the same favored class bonus as aasimars. Your character will be less special snowflake and less munchkined out, but still quite powerful.
So, as a Devil Spawn Tiefling with three levels in Cleric and one in Wizard who can cast Pyrotechnics (an arcane spell) racially, I can take a level in Mystic Theurge at 5th?
I personally like settings in which my character is on an even keel with those around me. I think it becomes too easy when your character is head and shoulders above everyone else for the character to develop a mentality where they feel they can do whatever they want. Pathfinder is about the GM and the players coming together to tell a story, and when a character's actions no longer have consequences that makes for a lousy story. If my character can do whatever they want, is unbelievably untouchable, and comes out on top every time, then where are the stakes? I view every class feature I get as an opportunity to further the collective story, and if I can blow everyone else out of the water, then what's the point of working with others to create a narrative? Telling a good story involves weaknesses, and shifting focus away from the individual and onto the group, including sometimes shifting it to the greater world that the characters exist in. My character's actions should matter, but they shouldn't be the be all end all in the world, and they shouldn't just be able to do whatever they want. They should be allowed choices, but they should still be playing inside a collective narrative.
You could, if your GM worked with you, play an archmage's familiar getting up to all sorts of crazy misadventures on the side. Play with familiar statistics for a 20th lvl familiar. You might be able to hack it. It's not RAW, but if your DM lets it fly it could be really flavorful.

Background
Toxicroak was an exceptionally sturdy Poison Dart Skink and that is saying something of the naturally hardy amphibians.
The outpost of Radiator Ridge is a small little settlement jutting out from the edge of the rock. Surrounded by Iron walls reinforced with timber logs and a great Iron fence in the front barring any vehicular entry except by the lone bridge facing north. Eerily quiet as you cross the bridge you notice half a dozen buildings arrayed in a semicircle, 8 of them in total. On the right side of the semicircle are 4 houses, each one drab and run down. As you enter each one in succession you can see evidence of a struggle, weapons strewn everywhere and the inhabitants slain along with a fair few bandits explaining the lack of noise or people. Noticing nothing of intrest in any of these you continue around the circle, now at the far wall and dead center is a magnificent mansion. The well kept walls and pristine garden in front makes it look almost new except for the smashed windows, missing door and ocasional bits of debris spread around. Entering the mansion you notice signs of a struggle and obvious looting. Of the few remaining possessions, one catches your eye, a portrait. John W. Douglass. Must have been the man who owned the house and probably the most important person in the outpost. Inside reveals nothing of value except a small cashbox that must have been missed. Continuing your search outside you see to the east 3 buildings, clockwise a shop, a warehouse and the sherifs office with what looks like a large battle at its entrance. Then you hear noise, the first sounds since entering the outpost.
"Stupid generator work already! I said ON!" Followed by a deep THRUMMMMM and a " Hooray!"
Rounding the corner in between the mansion and the sherifs office you see the now humming generator and a small yellow robot...
"Ahh! Visitors, uhh ahh excuse me!"
"Welcome to Radiator Ridge! I am CL4P-TP, you may call me by my locally designated name, 'Claptrap'. Before continuing, please accept this ECHO communication device and heads-up display provided free of charge by the Dahl corporation!"

Forest Guardians:
Forest Guardians have long been extinct. Back in ages when even the elves were young and the world was wild, where forests spread out among the lands. It was here that the Forest Guardians walked among the trees, conversing with them and tending to them like giant gardeners. Large and strong, and immensely old, these kind spirits would care for large plots of land, only a few in each continent. They were fiercely protective of their lands and were known to be able to defend the lands from giant beasts and demons, yet they could not stop the flood of humans. As the forests got cut back and the land became ever more civilized, they slowly disappeared, unneeded and forgotten.
Well we here at Arcenture Science Industries believe that such a magnificent creature should not be lost to the legends and lore! In fact we have even managed to recreate one! We are just putting the finishing touches onto its memory uplinks and the first Forest Guardian to walk the earth in millennia with be available for poking and prodding! We even intend to let it loose into the Biodome and see how well it fares!
Description Forest Guardians are tall plants that look like trees, and can often be mistaken for such, yet they have their differences. First and formost is the lack of leaves, for Forest Guardians have sparse leaves, looking like a willow that shed all is leaves in the middle of winter despite the heat of summer. Next distinguishing feature is its face, a giant knot in the middle of one side of the tree bears a pattern remarkably similar to a gnomish or dwarvish face, big burly eyebrows, giant nose, small closely centered eyes and big fat lips. Forest Guardians do not seem to need this mouth to eat, for they suck up all the nutrients they need from the ground through their extensive root systems. When they need to move, they uproot their roots and drag their bulk across the ground with them and when threatened they will lash out with their long, powerful branches, smashing anything within reach. These seem to be especially destructive against buildings and objects and have been known to demolish such structures in short order.
Standard Racial Traits
Ability Score Racial Traits: Forest Guardians are large and durable, if a little slow. They are usually ancient beyond reckoning, even eclipsing the long lived elves. This makes it hard to empathize with the shorter lived races that disappear in the blink of an eye. They gain +6 Strength and +2 Constitution, -2 Dexterity and -2 Charisma.
Type: Forest Guardians are Plants.
Size: Forest Guardians are large creatures and thus gain a –1 size penalty to their AC, a –1 size penalty on attack rolls, a +1 bonus on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a –4 size penalty on Stealth checks. A Large creature takes up a space that is 10 feet by 10 feet and has a reach of 5 feet.
Base Speed: Forest Guardians are slow and pondering. They have a base speed of 20 feet.
Languages: Forest Guardians begin play speaking Common and Sylvian. Forest Guardians with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following languages; Aklo, Auran, Draconic, Elven, Gnome, Halfling or Treant. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages. Forest Guardians also have the ability to converse with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell.

Terran Titan:
Terran Titans or Earth Titans as they are also known are a cross between an earth elemental and an orc. Orcs have thrus far proven to be the only widespread race capable of handling the splicing processes and even they are largely overtaken by the earth elementals natural power with very little remaining of them aside from their size and general shape. An interesting turn of events has reversed the Orcs poor cognitive abilities and boosted them considerably. Who knew that adding rocks and Orcs together made them smarter?
Description Earth Titans stand just over 9 feet tall and look like a cross between an Orc and a chunk of slate. They have fully articulated limbs and are capable of wielding tools in their oversized hands yet those hands work just as well unarmed due to the sheer mass of them. They retain the Orcs hunched appearance as well as their brutish looks save that they are slate grey in colour. Despite being created for their brute size they have been proven to be remarkably cunning and quick of wit, even showing sorcerous powers that were unexpected. Why such dull creatures could create such intelligent offspring is beyond us here at the Arcenture Science Industries yet we intend to find out! Our next experiment will be to combine a goblin and a rock to see what happens. Isnt science fascinating!

CL4P-TP:
CL4P-TP General Purpose Robots, more commonly known as Claptraps are built and manufactured by Hyperion as manual labour work robots. Due to little maintenance, constant abuse and a hazardous environment Claptraps have developed all sorts of personality quirks and Eccentric personas. Programed to be helpful most Claptraps will generally seek to aid those around them with almost constant cheery atitudes and be as annoyingly helpful as possible. This consideration rarely goes both ways as most other races on the planet see them as little more than scrap metal to be kicked and abused if not outright eaten. Claptraps have a special animosity towards the roaming bandits as they often use them for target practice or dismantle/destroy them in some other humorous fashion.
Alignment: Claptraps are generally lawful neutral as they dutifully follow their programming with little care for anything else though some can take a moral stance. Occasionally a Claptrap will go "Rogue" completely abandoning their programming and have a very radical shift in alignment. These rogue Claptraps will often attempt to join the nearest bandit camp or risk being dismantled by those who see them as 'faulty.' Attempting to align with the bandits is hazardous and rarely successful as they are often seen as just another target to shoot.
Classes: Most Claptraps tend to be manual labourers and never rise above the status of commoner but of those that do rise from the dregs often become paladins or rangers, helping out those around them and healing those that they can. Rogues, fighters and gunslingers are also seen as they take up whatever means of weaponry they have available to them. There are a few rare CL4P-TPs that take up alchemy, creating different oils and lubricants and lobbing grenades at those deemed a threat, or wizardry, creating technological effects so powerful as to be called spellcraft. Of the Claptraps that go rogue, they often take up the mantle of an inquisitor, rogue, anti-paladin or even assassin as a way of enforcing their own ideals on the world. There is even a CL4P-TP Ninja out there... You will probably never see a Claptrap Cavalier.
Standard Racial Traits
Ability Score Racial Traits: CL4P-TPs are small and weak but their circuitry allows for quick processing and reactions. They gain +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, and –2 Strength.
Type: CL4P-TPs are humanoids with the robotic subtype.
Size: CL4P-TPs are Small creatures and thus gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.
Base Speed: CL4P-TPs are fast for their size, and have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages: CL4P-TPs begin play speaking Common. CL4P-TPs with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic). See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.

_________________________________________________________
Blind Panic: Whenever a CL4P-TP is reduced to half its hit points or fewer and has no conscious ally within 30 feet, it gains a +2 racial bonus on melee attack rolls and to Armor Class.
Constructed: For the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as a ranger's favored enemy and bane weapons), CL4P-TPs count as both humanoids and constructs. CL4P-TPs gain a +4 racial bonus on all saving throws against mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, and stun effects, are not subject to fatigue or exhaustion, and are immune to disease and sleep effects. CL4P-TPs can never gain morale bonuses, and are immune to all emotion-based effects except fear effects.

Why nature brought forth such an abomination or why it allows it to continue to exist may never be known. And yet Joseph lives, born of the union of the Demon Lord Urxehl and a lowly slave girl. Born into the war torn provence of Provosia and blessed with untold vitality Joseph grew up swift and strong. Whenever he was injured or hurt his wounds would heal over in minutes and make him stronger still while filling him with a reckless exuberance for what could truly kill him? Indeed he had been confirmed dead a dozen times or more on the battlefield yet each time he roze again fit for battle in minutes. Cocky and brash in the extreme he takes to battle unarmored and pays no effort to avoid the blows of his foes all the while hewing them down with his axe, GolGarmon.
GolGarmon is an ancient axe, forged during the time when Titans ruled and humanity was in its infancy. Sentient and powerful, GolGarmon seeks to end the reign of man and restore the ancient beings, Titans and Giants and Dragons, to dominance once again. Vicious and cruel, GolGarmon is not above using humans to achieve his goals, indeed he takes pleasure in twisting humans toward their eventual destruction and downfall. Ancient beyond counting the Elysian Bronze axe is so rune encrusted that merely standing near it is enough to drive people insane if not killing them outright.
Joseph wields this axe without fear and to great effect while so far surviving the worst the axe has put him through yet one day Joseph will be included among GolGarmons victims.
GolGarmon:
GolGarmon is an axe that is so ancient that he has forgotten more history than most learned scholars would ever know. Made by the Titans and forged from Elysian Bronze this nearly indestructible axe was gifted to the humans to sow discord and destruction. Outlasting the reign of its creators, GolGarmon seeks to restore them to their past glory. GolGarmon retains the unique ability to shift between an axe and the form of a giant earthbreaker yet it loathes to show its "brutish" nature when it can be avoided. Aside from its great hatred for humanity it also retains a great dislike for the undead, for it believes its victims should stay dead. Demanding blood when drawn and known to be deliberately harmful to the one wielding it, only the most stalwart can hope to control it for long, for is not the wielder also one of those it hates?

Introducing Johnny Adams (nice average sounding name :)
Barbarian 2 (breaker)
Power attack, improved sunder. I plan on sticking with barbarian through and through, gaining battle scavenger at level 3 and mostly fighting unarmed and largely wreaking things :)
Conviction and Mechanics:
He has been sent to the reformatory a couple of times for bad behaviour and drunken brawls and what not. Gained lvl 3/4 conviction when he was in a bar where some members of a freedom fighters rebellion group were about to be arrested. In a drunken brawl (again) he ended up fighting the guards and helping the rebels, in which one escaped. The government convicted him as one of the rebels and held him personally responsible for the escaped rebel, hence the overtly large conviction.
Character Concept:
He should have very little reliance on weapons of any sort, and be a destructive little nuisance, a style of play that intrigues me.
He will also be a chance to play the rebellious teenager that I never was XD
Spoiler:
10 minute background]
1: 5 background and concept elements.
1: He is young, probably only 15 or 16.
2: He can be very brash and rejects authority of any kind. He is always ready for a fight if he can swing it :)
3: Is headstrong and figures he knows it all. He will make knowledge checks often, and if he doesnt know anything, he will make up stuff that sounds plausible or he thinks he knows.
"Red dragons breathe fire so they must be weak to water, if we can submerge it completely with water it should be weakened greatly! Right?"
4: He has violent tendencies and can have quite the temper. This comes out in his combative nature and his tendencies to wreak things around him, eg throw a table at the wall when he is mad, just for a burst of release.
5: He is a teenager through and through. He likes to drink, party, girls, adventure and the thrill of danger, starting fights, getting into trouble, shirking duties and responsibility and "hanging out." He also idolizes the gang life and is part of a (minor) gang called the Skull Shredders.
2: 2 goals for the character.
1: He has something to prove. He really doesnt know what yet, but he has an undeniable urge to prove himself and gain the acceptance of those around him. He is a teenager who feels like he doesnt belong.
2: I would like him to "grow up," to mature into an adult and learn from his past experiences. Become a better human being. Failing that, he will turn into one rotten guy ;)
3:
3: 2 secrets about the character.
1: He is surprisingly loyal and likes to "stick up for the little guy", so to speak. He would do most anything for his friends and even complete strangers, unless, of course it was him doing the things... He feels ashamed about this and often tries to hide it or brush it off as "no big deal" and gets kind of shy about it.
2: He thinks that the members of the Skull Shredders will come to his aid, besides, I am sure that they will figure something out. Secret? They wont.
4: 3 people tied to the character.
1: The Skull Shredders. a minor gang consisting of a handful of guys. They do petty crimes, hang out in back alleys and smoke, and generally be a nuisance and and eyesore to the neighbourhood.
2: Jimmy, the leader of the Skull Shredders, is his childhood friend and they are best buds. He has given up on Johnny, but who knows? He is a gang member committing petty crimes and whatnot and from a less-prestigious family. They might just meet up sometime... They were known as the JJ Jones brothers (Jimmys last name).
3: Constable Bill. He was the one who would often catch/chase Johnny and Johnny made sure to give him no end of trouble. Bill figures that he is a no good troublemaker. (I doubt that you would see a lawman in the prison, so I will add a few more)
4: Phillipe LePaul. He was the rebel that got away thanks to Johnnys intervention, yet he doesnt give two hoots about Johnny. He has a "sucks to be you" kind of attitude about it.
5: Agent Francis. Johnny gave him no end of trouble when he was incarcerated. Whatever that gnome above did, Johnny did 5 times worse. He would pick fights with the guards and get beat down. He would attempt to make a break for it and got beat down. He wreaked some of the supplies and got beat down. He even headbutted Francis and... got beat down...
Francis was very glad to get rid of him and send him on through the portal, nursing a broken nose. "Good riddance damn convict scum."
5: 3 mannerisms, qualities and quirks.
1: Brash and headstrong and very combative.
2: Has at least a bit of a superiority complex, he believes that humans are superior and any other races should "just get out of the way"
3: He likes to graffiti and has his own signature. He likes to "tag" buildings and under bridges and whatnot. Its his "artistic pride" as he calls it. (is there a trait that would allow me to cast arcane mark once per day or whatever that I could use as his "Tag"?)
