Interest Check and Recruitment for a long term Homebrew Pathfinder Campaign

It also depends on an evil characters goals. There's a difference between wanting to conquer the world and being selfish. There are plenty of evil people that get along fine in the world, but just are secretly selfish or some other large flaw. In my game, if you walk through an average town with detect evil going, you'd pick up on any number of random civilians that evil.

3 hours until the decision time. Darien, I have PM'd you and need a response soon.

Since Toramin's being specific on the family name, I'll be more specific on my family name. Looking forward to the team. Mandatory daily post.

Do I need to change my avatar pic? I was going for the "worried young guy" look.

Here's Darien's 70 gp's worth of stuff. Of course, half is the freakin' crossbow! (35 gp).

I've worked on this list for a while, so tell me if I have to change the waterskin to a canteen, how may days of trail rations, etc. A tent is just too heavy.

Edit: Yes, I grew up under an Evil GM. Encumbrance sucks.

Edit: But now I can't help myself but use the spreadsheet.

@jhspace. I have an odd request. Sell your alignment to me. Why is he LAWFUL good?

Potential wall of text:

Darien's lawful goodness is because he is so naive. Yes, being bullied and forgotten while he grew up, he could have fallen in with the wrong crowd. He could have been running around the woods, or pulling pranks on his sisters, or getting revenge on his brothers. It just never occurred to Darien.

Part of Darien's growing up is going to be that a lot of his assumptions on what happens in life "just because" will get torn apart in war. Darien's never seen a dead body, let alone undead. He's never had to lose something precious just because somebody truly evil took it away. He's never felt revenge, just the "flight" part of fight-or-flight.

So I expect Darien to go through quite a few "uh-oh" moments. I don't know if he'll stay Lawful Good. He might go Chaotic Good if the law is seen as oppressive and manipulative. He might go Neutral Good if he's forced to work with evil characters that don't act like storybook villains. Or Darien could stay Lawful Good, just knowing when the law applies...and when it does not.

It's up to the story.

Darien is actually from the low end of the technology scale, so his adaptability might be a good thing for the dwarf to judge as Darien grows from a simple blacksmith to a crafting person.

I haven't started a 1st-level character in a while, and the low skill points are appalling - just 4 skill points at Level One? Argh.

Here's your LG Conjuring Sorcerer, with the Celestial Bloodline for healing. If I don't see a Wizard I may have this character take a single Wizard level for the Scribe Scroll and spellbooks, since it fits in with his backstory of loving books. If we go magic-poor I can also start grabbing Craft Wand and Craft Wondrous Item at higher levels. With paladins I know we won't be healer-light but I love having all skills possible.
