apologies everyone for my delinquency. I unfortunately lost my job, (which happened to provide my laptop) so I've been without a pc for a bit.

I have been set up with an older but not shabby looking little desktop, that while I'm not married to it, should provide some companionship and entertainment for a bit. Lol.


I will be up and down throughout this next week.


Sorry for my delinquency. I will e posting this evening.


Good afternoon everyone!

Duck, what all do we need to have in our profile?


That works for me. I'll likely be unable to post much this weekend.

Thanks for the invite!


I hope I didn't come off as snarky or anything. It was not my intention to push past others. It was more intended as an observation. In my experience, most recruitments don't last that long.

I will admit that due to this adventure's unusual nature, a longer recruitment is likely a boon for all involved.

That seems like a long recruiting period, given that we've got 5+ submissions already.


Reflavored'Lay On Hands':

By maintaining brief contact, a Paladin can release a programmed virus which is able to restore the damaged nerves and blood vessels of themselves or an ally. Some Paladins are even able to treat additional afflictions and impairments with this ability.

Source:

Lay On Hands (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier. With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.

background:

Slightly overweight at what might as well be 200 pounds, and 5'9" with some grey showing in his close trimmed brown hair, Connor looks about as average as someone could expect. He's handsome enough, and was probably good looking 10 years ago when he was a young man in college like all of those around him now.

Connor has led a bit of a wandering life. Already entering his thirties he never really identified what it is that he wanted to do or be. He loved his hobbies, gaming of all sorts (especially RPG's) playing amateur sports, attending the renaissance faire (especially in costume), bowyery and reading novels. But he knew he would never make a career out of these things. His most recent job has been a success in some ways, he started as an entry level Security Guard at a new company. His ability to talk to people, and generally not screw things up got him promoted and eventually they put him behind a desk. His natural ability to work a room, and engage with people led him into a sales role. He has landed a few accounts here and there, but his heart was never in this for a future.

Connor has always been religious, he grew up in Texas where Southern Baptists seemed to fall from the trees, but his family had always attended a more liberal Lutheran church. He never thought he wanted to be a minister, but eventually his sunday mornings were all spent at the church playing guitar and leading music. He decided he would go to seminary, perhaps he didn't have to be a 'minister' he could just get paid to play cheesy worship music and work 3 days a week.

Connor found a college seminary that he wanted to attend in Georgia, and moved there to pursue his education. Unfortunately his meandering as a younger man meant that he had never finished a basic degree. So his first year would be spent finishing some undergrad studies at a smaller college in Toccoa. As an older student coming back, he struggled to make friends, that is, until he found a pathfinder group. He met them a couple of times and in short-order had established new friendships, was a group regular, and was having a great time.

He was so distracted by his studies and his friends, that he never caught on to what we were hearing in the news...
