Actually, you could say what you expect from a campaign. That's usually the first thing I ask my players.

I would be interested to join this one too as a player.

Also, if until the end of my exams ( a couple of weeks ) nobody takes this up, pm me Raventhorn and I might DM it.

I love how we might suggest the same thing, but imagine it totally different.

Let me try explain Curse of Repentance again, because I might have not wrote it clear enough.

The Idea: The user is able to hear bad things people around him did. Like an aoe, she walks down the street and hears:
"Oh i stole an orange", "I lied to her" and so on. This is for rp flavor
But When hears things like "I killed the major" or something of such importance the oracle might not be able to handle such an important secret and losing the DC reveals it. How? Starts screaming uncontrollably about it, maybe even with the voice of the person that did the sin.

Curse of Greed:
Love the idea. Also removes a bit of in-team problem that the curse could create. We must (as "developers") decide how Greed will "evolve". Will greed you drive you to steal or is it only power seeking Greed ? Is this up to the player?

Hm, I wanted to step Curse of Paradox a step further.
There is a Greek Myth (yes again XD, I will stop only when you ask it), about Paradoxes like :
-The dog that catches everything, and the fox that can't be caught. When the dog started to hunt the fox Zeus turned the to stone to stop the paradox.

We could look into such paradoxes and make them like summonings or make the oracle behave randomly like the self of a parallel?
Cuz i think there is already a mystery of time.

As for mysteries: I am not sure yet what it is, but i feel something is missing from the paizo list! We will find it!

Oh, any new ideas on Curse of the Deep?

I am sorry if something I wrote was annoying or ignorant but this is my second day in the forum, so if I have a gap here or there please show tolerance. I didn't even know that this website has a built-in dice roller.

As for the time I asked because in other forum rpgs there was a time limit like : you got 48hours to post or you are skipped for that round (of posting) and thus the topic wouldn't wait for a person like a week.

Well, as it is my first time I play an RPG online that uses dices, I guess you have a site with random generators?

Also, what will be the time limit between the post?

I thought about the classes :
Well, I would like to play Human Druid or Half-Elf Ranger.

Hey, I am interest and wish to join you.

I must warn you that i wish to join in a online game to learn pathfinder as I haven't play it RL yet. I haven't thought of a class yet though.

If you do accept me please send me a pm Jörmungandr as I have some questions.

Well, I am a bit busy the next two days but I will do my best coming up with something for your Curse of the deep. Just a fast Idea:

- Curse of Erynies:
If you didn't notice i had an alternative name : Curse of Repentance, which might strick you better. We could also call it, Curse of Nemesis.
If you want to me less mainstream Nemesis was also called :
Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia ("the goddess of Rhamnous"), Ihnaii (Ιχναίη), Adrastia (Αδράστεια)(which is my personal favourite) and Invidia(in Roman).

The idea is that the oracle works as the one that reveals the dark secret of the person, making their past to hunt them. That's why i don't think this curse should be confused with spirits.

Probably the confusion derived because Erynies are also monsters in Pathfinder but not in Greek mythology XD.

I just loved Black Spot! But maybe sinister mark , or ill omen or Dark Mark might be more catchy.

Again I so second this curse though.

Curse of Bedlam: Gold Pure gold!

I must admit though that i want to see a madness mechanic for the whole game (if there isn't). But your could be so sweet!

Curse of Greed: well if we wanted to make a small reference to FullMetal Alchemist Manga we could name the Curse of Trasmulation after it. Think of it: What does a greedy person want? Everything, what more than having it on him?

If we want we could make Curse of Greed a hording curse making the person acting like a dragon.

Also, for some reason I think that we need to think something for mysteries too.

Here are some more:

Curse of Small/Big
Curse of Paradox

If you want more Mythological reference there could be Curse of the Rea. Rea(=the one that flows) was the godness of flow. That means that she could control how things... flow. She was also a Titan, which makes it more intersting XD

Well, they can take what they want,but a small reference even in the forum to brag about with friends would be fun XD.

The idea was that Mithras being a good of wisdom would reveal things, also it's a less known name , but thinking it again Midas is a good choice as well. Though your suggestion makes it more all around.

Curse of the Deep :
I like the idea of getting covered with water. That's why i switched to pathfinder : you just feel the RP. I second the idea to have the curse of deep like that. Maybe to give to the user the Aquatic lang?

The idea with the Curse of Erinyes was that the user is not getting agressive but she speaks things she shouldn't. I wanted to point out the rp flavour of saying things when you shouldn't

Also, Erinyes wasn't a reference to the monster but to the greek myth. Erinyes were the creatures that were haunting someone when they had regrets about a sinister act. I thought using that + some twisty plot could be gold for the DM/GM and total confusion for the players. Who doesn't have his little secrets after all?

Curse of Dark Spot
Isn't that sweet? But let me tell you a story which might help us with something similar.

I have a pal that can't drink alcohol. Why? Because if he does he becomes paranoid and see people wearing black ninja costums following him.

So i don't know if we could make a new one or merge it with Dark Spot.
Now, the idea is : how do you want dark spot to work? A random Dark spot? Seems medium as an idea as i imagine it now, maybe you can give me more feedback on your original idea.

How I imagine it: The user sees a Dark spot (not that special). Maybe with a DC the spot becomes larger or she can't focus to somewhere else? Sounds bit like blind curse.

Maybe people have a spot on them and up to their intention it changes colors or grows?

Lot of material there.

Now my turn for new curse:
I haven't thought a name though:

The user declares an action. The user must pass a DC.
If she does a forced action, up to a d100 board (or something like that).

The idea is that the user is easily destruct or even can't control his focus.

Last one : I thought of addictions, but I think Paizo wouldn't like the idea , might be sensitive as an issue.

What do you think Samuel ? Will, Paizo give us the project of the "Curses of Oracle" to make ? XD

Curse of the Deep:
I like it better now, but how to add/ change the rp wise part more/again. I would like to see the cursed person to have the need of drinking water the whole time. Dunno why just an idea.

Ok here is my first attempt to make one :

Curse of Mithras:
Some Oracle are more materialistic. The wished of gold and powers of the universe obeyed that wish. They make THEM gold (or an other metal). The Oracle begins with a limp and slowly the curse spreads to the body until they are covered in gold.
Oracle afflicted with this curse takes a -2 to DEX whenever a check has to be made. The oracle also takes -4 to Acrobatics , - to Speed. The character can't swim. Must take a DC 10+ Str mod to see if she can hold herself from drowning.

Bonus 1st Level: +2 AC , + Magic Resistance.
Bonus 5st Level:
Bonus 10st Level: The Oracle is Immune to Poisons that are trasnfered with impact.
Bonus 15st Level: The Oracle is Immune to Bleeding, ones per day a spell might bounce back to the caster.

Curse of Erinyes (Ρepentance)
The user gains the spell "Detect Thoughts". The spell is "on" all the time and the user can only hear sinister thoughts and pepentance of the targets. In battle or in a failed check (that if the oracle hears something of big importance) the oracles gets in a state of Ecstasy and starts revealing the things she heard.

Maybe we could add a madness system for this one if the Oracle can't take all the thoughts?

I think we have a consensus of "not now" for a new edition of Pathfinder. Most of the arguing seems to be between the folks who say "never" and those who say "maybe later". While a reformatting and rearrangement of the core rulebook might be nice, would it really be worthwhile to Paizo to do this editing without changing the content?

I believe that yes it would. Allow me to explain:

Even the addition of new and better illustration might do some difference, though it might seem less important. Generally the feeling of new to something that it's the same it's a good way to refresh itself.

But that's just me, maybe the cost or the effort isn't worth it.

Hey, a friend of mine loves the Chaos Mage class in 3.5 and generally the unique ability to create your own spells.

Is there an equevalant of this class?
Is there something close enought i could suggest to him , as an archetype or a prestige class?

I liked the Envy one a lot, but the Deep will be very difficult to rp with.

As for Pride. The user is easily offended on matters of Pride. She could get favourite enemy against someone until this person is killed or until the user feels satisfied. After the user is satisfied she can choose new favourite enemy.

An other idea :

Pride users challenge the ones that offended them to magical duels , and maybe give them a + to provoking the enemy to duel them?

Curse of the Parasite:
The user becomes host of a parasite that alters a part of body but starts giving abilities to the user.

Maybe the parasite can turn a part of a body to weapon or impliment and allow a melee oracle build?

Curse of Mithras:
The users body starts becoming golden (or rusted or something like this). The users loses mobility and speed but gains AC and spell resistance. The users is unable to swim, and takes acrobatic penalties as the gold/metal spreads.

Curse of Madness/Illusion:
When ever the users uses a illusion spell(or something like this) and kills an opponent with it, roll d20 dice. If it's lower than 10 the user takes 1 point . At 5 points the user takes one 1 point of madness. As the madness progresses the user is unable to tell appart friends from foes.
Everytime the users castes a spell throws a d20 or d100 dice and the DC is equal to the madness points. Like if there is gap of 10 madness points and each madness point is 2.
Then if the user has 2 points of madness -> 2*2 = 4. At a 4 or lower at a d20 or lower the user hits a random target (self included ?)

More Curses ideas :

Curse of Envy:
The user gains the ability to copy the form of target for x amount of time.
Extras: She could gain his charisma score, or an ability of his.

Curse of the monster:
The users partly transforms to a monster like were-creature.
At the lower level maybe the user can't control it or gains a physical ability , like curse of monster (cat) dexterity,
or curse of monster (bear) : str.
curse of monster (sea monster) : underwater breathing.

Generaly curses of monsters could go really far.
As for curse of a deity hm ... i wouldn't think of it as something good. The idea that the a deity will curse you for being the opposite of his. thus a good alliment could get only evil alliment deities' curse and via versa?

Something tells me that a deities would punish with physical transformation (making a hand a tentacle) , trying to drive the person insane as long as it's opposite to the deity.
This one could work like this : as long as the person acts to the original alliment of his , he getting debuffs and suffers BUT if the person chooses to follow the deity's way then it turns around ?

Sounds bit difficult in practice.

Curse of Lust could be something like :
The target gets charmed / madly in love with the user and tries to protect him at all cost.
Or the target seems to all in an aura as a beautiful figure which distracts them for x rounds.

The last one could even work as a self curse? I am not sure if i saw any curses the witch could place upon her. it would be intersting to see.

As for Curse of Envy:

The target gets paranoid/jealous of everyone and starts attacking the nearest target that has more charisma/ more value on items/ more gold on them.

After the announcement of the 5th DnD, some friends of mine were seriously thinking to switch to Pathfinder. Actually, I had seen Pathfinder before and I was so happy to see a game that has Summoner as a class. It was the second game I saw such a think (If not mistaken Anima has also the summoner class).

Thus, I thought of a Gnome Summoner. Looking around the towns to build a backround I noticed Korvosa's Acadamae. On the discription of the school was that they train greatly in Conjuration.

This is why I ask:
1) Could rp wise a summoner been confused with a conjuration user?
2) The book mentions that Academae has tuition but doesn't say a price.
3) Also: gnomes are get invitation from Academae, does mean the don't take the entrance exam or don't have tuition?
4) Does the bond between the summoner and the Eidolon be enough for the final test or be mistaken for conjuration mastery?
5) Does Summoner (as a user of arcana) know things from other schools but choose to for summoning or is it his speciality and that alone (or is it up to the player/DM to decide?)
6) Can Eidolon teach Magic to the Summoner?
7) Can the Eidolon and the Summoner communicate as long as the Eidolon is in it's plane?
8) Can the summoner go to the eidolon's plane?

Next are some question about the Universe of pathfinder as also for Korvosa:
- In the Guide of the town it's said that there is a temple of Asmodeus. Aren't evil gods supposed to stay in hiding?
- Isn't necromancy considered a banned art?
