I personally generally prefer more down to earth backgrounds for lvl 1 PCs. Not always, but usually.
Oh yeah! In the topic of a sheet, I was toying around making one in herolab. Probably going human with point blank shoot and precise shot as I was told that these were mandatory to take if you wanna use a bow. Focus on dexterity and con and have all the 14s go to the other stats with 10 either being charisma or intelligence. I haven’t decided on traits, I don’t know what kind of stuff I should be taking…favorite enemy probably Dragons right? That seems fitting for this one 17 Dex, 14 Con, Wis, and Str is definitely a good place to start with a bow ranger. Elephant in the Room Feat rules gives everyone Weapon Finesse and Power Attack for free, so you'll want a decent finessable melee weapon as backup for when the baddies close in on your archer, which will inevitably happen at least once. If you were thinking of doing a pointy-eared type character, elves and half-elves can get Elven Curve Blade and Elven Branched Spear proficiency through their race traits, or you could take exotic weapon proficiency. Both finessable, both two-handed for power attack. The spear has reach, the blade has a huge crit range. Something like this would give your character great ways to be effective both at range and melee. That's just one option, you don't really need a finessable weapon. 14 Str is plenty for a backup melee weapon, so you could go with a longsword or greataxe or... really whatever you want and still have an effective way to deal with baddies when you can't get out of melee range. If your ranger follows Erastil, Deadeye Bowman is an absurdly good trait for an archer. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with traits that boost a save like Indomitable Faith, or boost a skill and grant a class skill you want. Identifying dragons uses Know: Arcana, but rangers don't have Arcana as a class skill, so if you wanted your ranger to get a boost to identidying dragons and other arcana-related things, you could take Arcane Scholar, for example. For favored enemy, there probably aren't that many actual dragons in this game as dragons are generally boss-type monsters. Plastic Dragon could probably advise some good options while keeping it spoiler-lite, but something like Favored Enemy: Humanoid (reptilian) for kobolds at level 1 and Favered Enemy: Dragons at level 5 would probably work well. I haven't played this, so I couldn't say what good options would be.
Oh, I just read through the Undine Druid's post above and see that she's also the navigator. So maybe I just lean in and make this guy a gunner's mate with Craft:Cannon so he can maintain/repair them? He'd also be able to make gunpowder which could be pretty useful to a pirate crew. Abyssal Bloodrager Trox. Enlarge to Huge.Mount a large-sized siege weapon on your back. Have it manned by 4 smol-sized gobbos.
Here's my monk-sorcerer-dragon disciple, Sahvi Copper-Scales. She's a shoanti Scaled Fist UnMonk. From level two I'll take Copper Dragon Bloodline Eldritch Scrapper sorcerer for four levels, then dragon disciple. The Eldritch Scrapper sorcerer is an odd archetype, granting Martial Flexibility to sorcerers for whatever reason, but MFlex is pretty good in EitR games, and it works with the monkish stuff anyways. Then level 6 and 7 will be Dragon Disciple. Since sorcerers don't get skill points, her skills are pretty much Arcana and Diplomacy. Level 3 and 5 feats will probably be Favored Prestige Class and Prestigious Spellcaster. Depending on what the party needs, I could do UnMonk 4/ Sorc 1/ DD X for a build that gets less magic but more aggressively scaling melee capability. I'm fine with whatever. Dragonmonk isn't very 'old school fantasy', but you'll need a dragon to fight a dragon, won't you? I thought a lawful good character who struggles with the usual dragon personality traits - greed, vulnerable to flattery etc - could be interesting to roleplay. Sahvi:
Sahvi “Copper-Scales” of the Lyrune-Quah was born beneath the cold moon of the Storval Plateau. She was an odd child, an infant who laughed at thunder and the bellowing of aurochs. The elders said her blood ran strange, and on cloudless nights she dreamed of a gold serpent coiling 'round the world. She was scrawny for a shoanti, but nevertheless grew strong. It was clear the girl had magic within her, but it was not the shamanic or druidic magic her tribe was more familiar with. Still, she was clearly blessed by the gods, which was just as well as she always tended to wander far from her clan in search of 'treasure'. On one such wandering - a night rife with dark clouds and lightning but no rain - an old cowherd wandered into Sahvi's camp, seeking shelter and a meal. Sahvi had always struggled to share, always wanting to keep her things for herself, but she knew the lore of her people. It was said that on nights such as this, during storms such as this, the dragon god Kass - known as Apsu to most of the rest of the world - would disguise himself as a disheveled cowherd with an enormous herd of storm aurochs. He would wander the plateau, testing lone travelers, searching for those that are unselfish enough to share what little they have with a helpless old man. It was said he would curse those that turned him away with poverty. Sahvi was not superstitious, but she weighed the odds and decided it was not worth the risk, so she reluctantly shared what she had with the old man. In the morning, the old man was gone, only a gold coin bearing Kass' likeness left where the man had been. Surely a coincidence... It was Sahvi's first great treasure, and the encounter only encouraged her to continue her wanderings. One day in Sahvi's early adulthood, a large caravan led by a cleric of Apsu came through the Lyrune-Quah territory. They had no business with the shoanti beyond travel through their lands, but were looking to hire more hands to aid on the long, long journey on an indirect route that would ultimatley land in far, far aways Cassomir, Taldor. Sahvi immediately joined, against the protests of her parents, seeing this opportunity as a road to fame and fortune once she could make it to Cassomir. Along the way, the cleric - brother Morran - taught the curious Sahvi of Apsu's teachings and something of the draconic language, having seen her Apsu coin she wore like a medallion. He suspected that the odd blood within her veins was draconic in nature. As the caravan neared a small town called Belhaim, Sahvi's dreams turned to ones of portent; moonlit wings over a broken tower sat amongst the dark and drooping trees of a fetid swamp...
Description:
Pic of Sahvi Bright and brazen, Sahvi is impossible to ignore. Her crop of short red hair, green eyes, and copper skin stand out amongst her families' paler browns. She's on the short and sleight side for a shoanti with a slim and toned athletic build. She carries herself with grace and utter confidence and dresses to impress. Her current favorite outfit is from the Empire of Kelesh - or, at least, inspired by the Empire of Kelesh - with gold costume jewelry and a cropped peacock pattern top and matching sheer harem pants or wrap skirt. Bangles on her wrists chime when she moves and a dragon coin diadem anoints her brow. Her ears are slightly pointed and her pupils have a faint hint of being slitted, traits that are not unlike those that the dragonblooded are said to carry. Sahvi is far more gregarious than her shoanti kin, making friends easily and always curious about exotic outsiders. She longs to travel and explore, even more than her nomadic kin, and is always running ahead to see what there is to see beyond the next hill. She lacks the usual stoicness expected of shoanti, and rather enjoys partying, but is just as stubborn and reliable as her kin. But dragon blood runs thick in her veins, and she struggles with the vices of a dragon. Applause pull at her heart, all things shiny call her name, and a challenge never goes unanswered. She was never happy with the simple nomadic lifestyle her people embraced, instead wishing a mansion with a private pool for herself. She tries to stymie these urges with meditation, but she is always on the look out for ways to enrich herself while still living up to Apsu's teachings.

I believe Plastic Dragon intends to do a separate recruitment post at some point.
Hear ya loud and clear, boss. One half-cyborg grippli ninja/gunslinger incoming.
Here be my Brewmaster of Cayden Cailean, Kraig "the Bull" Haldersson, whomst fights for freedom with improvised weapons. Starting with one level of Hinyasi Brawler because Martial Flexibility is amazing with Feat Tax rules, followed by four levels of Cleric with the Conversion Inquisition for social skills and either Ferocity or Travel Domain, then Brewkeeper PrC. Not the most optimized build out there, but it looks like fun to me. Probably think of him more in lines with a Warpriest or Inquisitor than a full Cleric. I'm dubious on the usefulness of Brewkeeper - mainly I think most friendly PCs aren't going to want to spend actions drawing and consuming a potion - but this is a good game for a Caydenite and the Brewkeeper is certainly one of the more functional PrCs. He runs a pub, The Sodden Hippogriff, which he'll probably 'buy' at some point VIA the Rooms and Teams downtime rules. Could be a cool base of operations for the group. More info about this in the Business Pursuits spoiler. Kraig - the Bull - Haldersson:
============Description============ Height: 7'6" | Weight: 447 lbs. | Hair: Black, slicked back; black handlebar moustache | Eyes: Pale blue | Age: 34 Pic for inspiration. Kraig. Is. Gigantic. A mountain of a man with ox-like shoulders, a thick neck, barrel chest, and arms like oak trees. His skin is sun-browned by countless hours on the sunny docks of Korvosa, his hands huge and calloused, dwarfing even the most generously sized tankard. Despite his imposing size, his slicked back, short cropped, jet-black hair and waxed handlebar moustache sitting above an anvil-like jaw gives him a professional, though casual, appearance. His eyes sit half-closed with casual confidence. Laugh lines crease his face from countless shared jokes in the tavern. He moves with surprising grace for one so large, easily navigating crowded common rooms and overly-busy kitchens. He gives the impression of warmth first, wrecking ball second, complimented by a friendly, rumbling voice built to carry over music and merriment. He dresses like a brewer ready for a brawl to break out: a deep red work shirt, open at the neck with sleeves rolled to the biceps, a heavy sea-green apron fitted with brass buttons and buckles and fixed in place with a red, knotted sash. He carries no weapons for he needs none. ============Personality============
Kraig is a gentle giant, his personality is as large as he his. Laughter announces him wherever he goes. He has countless friends, always bringing people together, believing happiness should be shared. He embodies the tenets of Cayden Cailean and enjoys the simple things in life; courage, loyalty, freedom, good food (but not too much), good ale (but not too much), and good friends (never enough). He is an endless font of bravery and questionable advice. He will share a loaf of bread with the hungry, or enjoy a drink with the sorrowful. He tries humor before he tries arguing, tries mercy before he tries muscle, not because he doubts his own strength but because he respects it. Always looking for a peaceful solution, a bully meets his smile first. None of that is to say Kraig will turn down a good brawl. Kraig is always ready for a good brawl and quick to jump to the defense of the defenseless. While he plays a bit of a buffoon, he is no fool, with a keen eye for deception. ============Story============ Born in the Shingles district of Korvosa to first generation immigrants, Kraig was always the largest child in any room. His father, Halder Ironsson, was a stevedore who could lift crates that took three other men to move, while his mother, Marta, worked the fish markets with a voice that could cut through the din of the crowded market docks. He grew up hauling cargo alongside his father, work that taught him that honest work and honest ale are key pillars of life. Kraig was always a big boy, but his parents taught him that strength without kindness is only masking for ones own weakness. By the time he was seventeen he could out-work three men and out-drink four. One evening Kraig came upon a pressgang trying to abduct a group of drunks. Kraig intervened. The ensuing brawl was finally ended when Kraig wrenched a piling free from its post and wielded it as easily as a poet wields a pen. It also left him with a split lip, two broken ribs, and an epiphany: sometimes the gods put you right where you need to be. A traveling priest of Cayden Cailean - Brother Tommas - witnessed the brawl. He recognized something in the young brawler, not the obvious strength, but a spark of divine purpose. He took Kraig under his wing and, with his tutelage, Kraig learned to embrace Cayden Cailean's teachings. For five years, Kraig studied and served, dividing his time between work, the small temple of Cayden Cailean in Old Korvosa, and the rough taverns where his ministry was most needed. He learned to channel divine magic through his massive fists, to bless ale and break jaws with equal reverence. His reputation grew: the giant who'd buy you a drink with one hand while tossing troublemakers out with the other. The tavern came to him like a gift from the gods. The Sodden Hippogriff belonged to a surly, bitter old dwarf named Ironjaw. It was never a respected establishment - indeed it was one of the rougher dockside taverns in the city - and the dwarf had let it rot into a den of cheap rotgut and even cheaper company. Nevertheless, Kraig saw potential in the cracked foundation and rotting timbers. He also saw potential in its location, a rather busy throughfare on the waterfront in the Midland district, with more than enough potential clientele to turn a profit. Using every copper he'd saved, plus a "divine loan" from his temple (and possibly some winnings from bare-knuckle boxing at the Sticky Mermaid), he leased the establishment. The renovation took six months. Kraig did most of the work himself, having learned something of carpentry from a life around ships. The bartop was made from a beautiful plank of Mwangi darkwood, recovered from a merchants ship that had sunk some years before just off the coast, and it made a superb centerpiece for the bar. He cleaned up the customer base as well, turning the problem bar into a well-regarded establishment, and he kept a tight reign on the sailors that managed to wander in. The Hippogriff also gained popularity with both the Korvosan Guard and the Sable Company, which were generally welcome company. The Hippogriff became a place where both sides of the law could comingle in relative peace, as Kraig was quick to toss out troublemakers. The tavern became a cornerstone of the neighborhood. A plaque of simple rules hangs over the bar. "No blood on the floorboards, no magic at the card tables, no tabs over a week old." He started brewing his own mead, which served both as a way to save money on inventory and as adequate worship of Cayden Cailean. He found he had a knack for not just brewing, but alchemy, and it wasn't long until he was spinning spells into alcoholic potions. But Korvosa is changing. The city grows darker, more dangerous. Strange disappearances, corrupt guards shaking down honest folk, and whispers of something rotten in the nobility have Kraig concerned. His tavern has become an unofficial sanctuary, a place where the common folk can speak freely and find an ally in their giant proprietor. He's not looking for trouble, but he knows Cayden Cailean didn't become a god by standing idly by when evil showed its face. Tragedy struck the Ironsson family six months ago. Kraig's niece, Lysa - daughter of his sister, Sanna Haldersdottir - disappeared from the docks one cool and sunny morning. A frantic search turned up nothing, and the Guard, while sympathetic, assumed she had been murdered or impressed. The guard closed her case, but Kraig's family did not give up hope. Kraig maintains connections throughout the city: dock workers who tell him about strange shipments, guards who appreciate a free drink and a sympathetic ear, street children who know he'll always have yesterday's bread and today's protection. Of late he has heard rumors of a girl matching Lysa's description seen in the company of other urchins known to work for the vile criminal Gaedren Lamm. If there's one thing the Bull cannot stand, it's people who prey on children... Possible Build Path:

A Sable Company Marine Ranger could be fun.If you want to try that, I’ll allow it. Appreciate the response =) But on second thought, I'm not in love with animal companions in PbP. PbP combat is already kinda a slog without added bodies on the field. Would you allow the Brewkeeper PrC?
Hey folks, GMMichael invited me for the Arcane position. I originally proposed a magus, but it looks like the front line might be a little crowded already, and a single target debuffer might be less useful in a six person party. I could stick with magus or retool her as perhaps a witch or arcanist. What would yall prefer? Also, of the six major item slots, which one is still available?
Full arcane caster? I could re submit my magus.. If you want full arcane caster, I could perhaps retune her into witch or arcanist.
Theren Thornvale - Bloodsworn Avenger: Theren Thornvale is a handsome half-elf, tall of stature with long blonde hair, his pointed ears protruding from beneath, piercing moss-green eyes, and tanned skin from working in the sun. He carries a quiver of arrows, a high draw weight warbow, and a fine elven curve blade. He wears a flexible, banded breastplate, and the rest of his ensemble is made of blues and browns. He carries himself with poise and confidence, always alert for trouble. Theren is a wrathful man these days, quick to anger. Still, he keeps his rage reigned until it is time to unleash it. He exists in quiet grief and speaks little of his wife. Though a few years have passed, the pain is still fresh. He believes in the simple values of home and hearth and is suspicious of outsiders. Theren was born on the ragged edge of civilization on the borderlands of Lastwall, the only child of a human soldier and an elven herbalist. Raised between the warmth of a woodland homestead and the iron of a garrison town, he grew up believing in duty, love, family, and the sanctity of a simple life. He enlisted young, serving in a garrison stationed in the chaotic border of Belzkin. Orc raids were common, but so were worse things: necromancers and devils. Erastil blessed him with divine light to keep him and his people safe, and he made a name for himself as a fierce warrior. Military life was not what he truly wanted. He had always wanted to be a farmer and raise a family. He retired young, as soon as he qualified for land and a reasonable pension. When he returned home he returned with dreams of peace. He picked out a fertile parcel of land and built a home. He married Mira, a fierce, strong-willed human woman from a nearby hamlet and they settled down. Everything was prefect. Then she came. She came in disguise, her true nature hidden, but she proved to be a succubus, and Mira was her chosen victim. Seduced with dark magic, Mira was stolen away beyond the ravenous hoards of orcs in Belzkin, far beyond rescue, and one Mira gave the demon a child, she murdered her. Theren held as fast to hope as he could, but his world was cracked by grief when a traveling inquisitor of Ragathiel revealed Mira's fate, which he had learned on his most recent trip to the orc lands. He had no news of the alleged child. Theren returned to his warrior ways. He carries Erastil's bow not for hunting, but as a weapon. His oath of Vengeance was sworn not in anger, but in clarity: devils walk this world, and he will be their end. Erastil does not preach wrath, but even the gentlest farmer will take up arms when wolves come for the flock. When word came from Arwyll Stead of devil sightings and rising orc again, he packed his things. Unnamed Hero
Mostly thinking about it because it seems the gestalt rules seem to favor one casting class and one non-casting class. The "traditional wisdom" for gestalt is to mix a full caster and a full martial, but it's not really necessary. Zephyr uses very little of his caster side, which isn't even a full caster, literally just a couple Destruction talents and a feat to augment his Vital Strike. You'll be fine either way IMO.
Thanks, I will make those changes ")
