Games on games, on games! This is beautiful, and likely a bit much for me.

Also, Maqan, a very overdo thank-you for keeping the recruitment lively for the few of us that posted a little later :)

Dot. Quite interested. GM responses to every player inquiry? Very nice.

Plan to submit a LG Inquisitor of Shelyn with the Love (Charm) subdomain; traveling (certainly with others) to participate in the grand opening festivities (an amateur performer, herself) & ensure there are no subversions of beauty or art in the newly-dedicated clergical institution (can't find which god/s the new church is dedicated to, in the players' guide - any word on that?).

Coming in with the Eager Performer campaign trait; eyeing a religious trait Ear for Music, although the (NG) alignment listed after the trait name makes me pause; is that a requirement? Within 1 step maybe...?

Does anyone know is there an APG trait that grants perform as a class skill?

I like the analysis of PC roles & attributes here! ^.^ good to stay on-task, of course, especially early on.

Briefly, then, as a player; I also enjoy the challenge of playing somewhat atypical characters - low ability scores representing a particular flaw aren't necessary, of course, but are one way to create (and quantify) PCs with more than a single dimension. I like roleplaying flaws (mechanics or just flavor), but I like my PCs awesome, too.

Will drop crunch & backstory in the coming days. Mulling over LG vs NG and particular religious viewpoints & ideologies one might have as an Inquisitor of Love.

That is quite different indeed!

I must say, it's hard to drop a score below 8, with most of the others starting at 10! ^_^

Will repost intro soon & fill out little more background/routine here as it comes together.

2 Adept seems appropriate for Gryusha, but I'm stuck on what to do with the familiar. She could have a sloth hanging around, always, just grazng, but that's not quite where I was going with her originally, and still I think the closest to the briefly established concept... can/should I otherwise just drop that class feature?

If we can take multiple NPC classes I'd be quite happy with 1 Warrior/1 Adept to lead into my nurturing combat healer.

CN follower of an evil orc fertility goddess, that she is, now.

How are we doing HP?

If someone asks you to do a check a simple d20 determines pretty much if you will get it or not.

As the NPC classes do have skill ranks (if not feats or many class abilities) should we not build skills out yet for in-game utility or background?

Gryusha nods her thanks, and takes a hearty draught from the glass, before heaving a sigh and nodding again, remembering her manners, toothy grin in tow. "All's well. Thankee Miss Maqan.

Rummaging about her belt, she raises a furry brow, "That's six coppers, plus two for a hearty chunk of bread?"

Gryusha drops 4 copper pieces on the bar, begins rummaging again.

"Just hope to help some see new things in new light." she says brightly, winking at the young halfling in passing, before turning to Andreas, an evident stranger a few seats down, with obvious mistrust written on her face.

"Hah!" Gryusha snorts, clearly pleased with herself as she looks back to Maqan, slapping a hand on the bar (2cp more) before turning again to take stock of all those present.

Not a sloucher, Gryusha sits & stands at her full not-quite-6ft. While physically unimpressive, or perhaps mildly unpleasant, depending on preference, Gryusha's blunt features are often offset... oddly kiltered, rather, by her direct and lovingly gregarious nature.

"Dark Mother be praised." The tired whisper faded into the night, followed by the quiet click of a door latch as Gryusha slipped from the female field-laborer's dormitory.

The half-orc midwife had just delivered, fed, and bedded her third set of twins this week. Certainly a portentous sign from Dretha, if ever there was one.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Gryusha took her usual path to the Drunk Dragon, grateful for an ebb in the evening's rainstorm.

It was not an easy delivery, and she could still hear the disgust in the voice of the newborn babes' mother... To have her children nursed by an orc - not to mention the profane rituals practiced by this one!

Yet Gryusha knew it was those very observances of the Dark Mother that gave her a peerless delivery record - 22 births, 27 babes, and not a single loss between mother or child.

Gryusha had arrived at Sanctuary nearly two years ago, walking into the town with two mewling half-orc infants in her arms. Though she's tight-lipped about her past, the accepted story around town is that the half-orc fled her tribe with the children, knowing the life they had in store among full blooded orcs.

"Black Brandy!" she barks, slumping at the bar a few seats from Andreas.

Gryusha bears a number of small, earth-toned tribal tattoos on her pale greenish skin, and her hair is a mess of thin, well kept dreadlocks, adorned with colorful wooden beads. She can often be found telling the town children the orcish folk stories behind her tattoos, or with an infant in her arms, delightedly playing with her locks.

She wears simple green and brown robes, with the image of two gauntleted fists stitched roughly onto the back, stretched protectively over the poorly painted outline of a town not unlike Sanctuary.

Just caught the character ideas in Discussion. My proposed healer here is a bit different, but hopefully flavorful enough & still fit the bill!
