You have come to the apex of your career as successful and powerful adventurers. The strongest vampire lord in eons is within your grasp.
I am recruiting six PC’s for a one shot boss fight versus a powerful creature another created on the boards. It will be a hard challenge and I expect some (if not all) to die.
Level: 15
Starting wealth: WBL
Point Buy: 30
Feat Taxes: As base with the change that every character recieves weapon finesse and agile maneuvers as bonus feats instead of removing them. You may also take point blank shot; it just isn’t a prerequisite for feats.
Traits: 2
I’ve been playing This character for a bit now and we just leveled up. I’m unsure as to what class i should take my next level of so i once again i come to the boards to find a answer to my question.
I have already claculated SR, poison DC and their ABP (the non-existent magic item kind) bonuses as if they were 9th level.
(As the title says) This is a ongoing recruitment for a changing game. We always need more slaves to bend to our will voters. The basic premise is that someone proposes a rule, others vote on it.
(As the title says) This is a ongoing recruitment for a changing game. We always need more slaves to bend to our will voters. The basic premise is that someone proposes a rule, others vote on it.
Current rules:
Meta
1) Once a new player has been voted in (GM approval + no more than 2 against), they may create 1 character.
2) Characters post in the Gameplay Thread.
3) Players post in the Discussion Thread.
4) Every Player has one and only one Character.
5) Each Player can make a Proposal. Each player may only have one active Proposal post at a time.
6) A Proposal can involve enacting, amending or repealing any one rule
7) Each player may vote Yea or Nay to each submitted Proposal.
8) Votes can't be changed.
9) Proposals to which the players have reached a majority are enacted or rejected immediately.
10) Proposals with the same number of Yea and Nay are repealed.
11) When a player posts, any player may reply with a post saying they are GMing the original post. They then have one hour to edit their post to contain a 'GM response' which describes how the world reacts. First response gets the job. The player may then add his characters actions to the bottom of the post.
12) A player may never craft a GM response to their own post.
13) In order to vote on and suggest proposals, you must have created a character and made one post to the gameplay thread.
14) A player has 24 hours from it is suggested to vote on a proposal. When the time is up, majority will be decided from all cast votes.
15) A new class of rule is to be created called One Time Effects. When one of these is voted in, it occurs instantly and then ceases to be, as opposed to being put on the list.
16) Any character that has not applied a passed One Time Effect or is otherwise in violation of the rules may not post in gameplay.
Gameplay
1) Characters consists of the 5 stats (Body, mind, spirit, charm, vigor)
2) When a character wishes to attempt some action, they must roll 2d10 and achieve higher than a number determined by the current GM
3) Completing challenges levels up the character, in the practiced skill.
4) Everyone can use magic through spirit, but spellcasters are better at it.
5) 'Skills', which are separate from 'stats', govern the training of a character. Skills may be put into anything the character has been trained in. When rolling the dice to complete an action, you may add a relevant skill. If there is any doubt as to whether or not a skill is relevant, the first third party to comment breaks the tie.
6) Boosts are abilities you get by 'spending' spirit. They have numerous powerful effects.
7) Anybody can learn magic
8) Health is a pool of points, damage dealt to a character removes points from this pool. If a characters Health pool reaches 0, that character is dead. A wounded character has trouble putting their full power into their blows. A character that has taken enough damage to put their current health below any other stat, takes a penalty to that stat equal to the difference between the stat and current health, or the characters total taken damage, whichever is lower.
9) To attack, a character uses a relevant skill to land a hit. The damage dealt is equal to the characters rank in body for physical attacks, charm for social attacks, and mind for magical attacks.
10) To land a hit, the attacker must beat an opposing roll against the defenders defensive skill of choice.
Setting
1) We do a Survivor type game with vast unexplored areas that the PC's are searching.
2) The setting shall start as a stereotypical fantasy game.
3) The PCs begin in a land with technology and social structure roughly analogous to medieval Western Europe (Like Pathfinder, but without the guns and printing press).
4) Some more stuff.
Character
1) A character starts with 5 skill points that can freely be distributed.
2) Each characters stats shall be summed to determine the character's 'level'.
3) New characters shall begin at level 10.
4) PC Stats start at one, you spend your 'level' only in excess of one
5) When calculating Health add your vigour and the average (rounded up) of your mental stats. (Spirit, Mind, Charm)
Bonus: When you join you become a god in the world. You will be mentioned as a god and will have your very own temple of followers.
What should I play? I am building a character for a one off fight against a CR 26 daemon

Level: 20
WBL
20 point buy for stats
Core and Featured races
2 traits
Magic item creation feats add +20% of wealth by level worth of items of the specified type to your character per feat taken.
Leadership is banned.
Buffs lasting an hour or longer can be cast before the fight.
You can pick a variant heritage for tieflings, aasimar, skinwalkers and dhampir, but you can't use the variant abilities d100 table for any of them.
Th reason I'm asking this question is I was reading the spells in the core rulebook and one of the components for Acid fog was powdered pears, and as spell component pouch grants you infinite spell components, a wizard could live forever off a single pouch.
The original document is Here
Since we probably have no chance of getting edit access, i would ask that someone creates a new document that we can continue to work on as this would probably be very helpful to many people. (As shown by the fact that this question has come up at least thrice on these forums)

We'll create game rules as we go along
I would prefer you all helped me with this because I have never PBP gm'ed before
I'm compiling a list of items that I feel that every character should have I came here because I don't have time to search the whole of UE and debate each items usefulness
So far I've got
Air bladder
M.backpack
Bandolier
Bedroll
Belt pouch
Crowbar
Ear trumpet
Flask
Flint and steel
Grooming kit (tooth powder)
Mess kit
Dagger
Rope
Soap
Water skin
Whetstone
Wrist sheath (for your dagger)
Thought it would be fun to see how many bonuses 1 character could get. I once built a level 12 witch who made about 6 million GP a year off making and selling tears of death
Not sure if this is the right place to put this pretty new to these forums
So if for example you maximised and empowered a Fire ball (ignoring spell level increases) as a tenth level caster it would do 90 damage 60 from maximised*1.5 from empowered is that right?
First Worlder (Summoner Archetype), Inner Sea Magic, page 35:
Most summoners have a close connection to creatures from the farthest reaches of the planes. A few have a primal connection to nature, and their power is tied to the First World. It is not unusual for these summoners to associate with druids, for like druids, first worlders have a powerful tie to the natural world. Some first worlders are driven half-mad by the strange energies and intelligences that seep into their minds and bodies, though, and these poor souls are prone to lash out at loggers, druids, or innocent passersby without considering whether or not they are threats. A first worlder’s eidolon usually resembles a fey creature or a plant monster, though some are fantastic otherworldly animals with exaggerated features. A first worlder has the following class features.
Summon Nature’s Ally (Sp): Starting at 1st level, a first worlder can cast summon nature’s ally a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. At levels where a summoner would gain a more powerful summon monster spell as a spell-like ability, he instead gains the equivalent summon nature’s ally spell (at 19th level, he can use summon nature’s ally IX or gate). When a first worlder gains a summon nature’s ally spell as a spell-like ability, he adds it to his class spell list (he must still select it as a spell known if he wants to cast it as an actual spell). This ability otherwise replaces the summon monster ability of a normal summoner.
Fey Summons (Su): At 3rd level, a first worlder adds the following creatures to the lists of what he can summon with his summon nature’s ally spell-like ability:
Summon nature’s ally II: gremlin ( jinkin, pugwampi, or vexgit, see Bestiary 2).
Summon nature’s ally III: gremlin (nuglub, see Bestiary 2).
Summon nature’s ally IV: unicorn.
Summon nature’s ally V: pixie, satyr.
Summon nature’s ally VII: nymph.
Eidolon: Instead of an outsider, a first worlder’s eidolon has the fey creature type and the extraplanar subtype. Its statistics are changed from a standard eidolon as follows:
Hit Dice: d6 Hit Die (instead of d10).
BAB: Equal to 1/2 the eidolon’s Hit Dice.
Good/Bad Saves: The eidolon’s good saves area always Reflex and Will.
Skills: The eidolon’s class skills are Acrobatics, Bluff, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Fly, Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (nature), Perception, Perform, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Swim, and Use Magic Device.
Senses: The eidolon gains low-light vision instead of darkvision. The summoner can grant the eidolon darkvision 60 ft. as a 1-point evolution.
Damage Reduction: If the first worlder chooses this evolution, he may select DR/cold iron instead of one of the alignment-based types of damage reduction. This otherwise works like and replaces the eidolon
ability of a normal summoner.
Racial Abilities:
Darkvision: Some gnome strains have lived in the underground depths for so long they have given up on light entirely and gained darkvision with a range of 60 feet. This racial trait replaces low-light vision and keen senses.
Gnome Magic: Gnomes add +1 to the DC of any saving throws against illusion spells that they cast. Gnomes with Charisma scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—dancing lights, ghost sound, prestidigitation, and speak with animals. The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome's level. The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell's level + the gnome's Charisma modifier.
Eternal Hope: Gnomes rarely lose hope and are always confident that even hopeless situations will work out. Gnomes with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear and despair effects. Once per day, after rolling a 1 on a d20, the gnome may reroll and use the second result. This racial trait replaces defensive training and hatred.
Illusion Resistance: Gnomes gain a +2 racial saving throw bonus against illusion spells and effects.
Academician: Some gnomes are more academically inclined than their kin. Gnomes with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus on any single Knowledge skill. This racial trait replaces the obsessive racial trait. (Nature)
Weapon Familiarity: Gnomes treat any weapon with the word "gnome" in its name as a martial weapon.
Class abilities:
+4 BAB | +2 Fort, +2 Reflex, +6 Will | Cantrips, eidolon, life link, Summon Nature's Ally V (10/day), shield ally, Maker's Call , Bond senses

Special Abilities
Hatred (Ex) Mites receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls against humanoid creatures of the dwarf or gnome subtype due to special training against these hated foes.
Vermin Empathy (Ex) This ability functions as a druid's wild empathy, save that a mite can only use this ability on vermin. A mite gains a +4 racial bonus on this check. Vermin are normally mindless, but this empathic communication imparts on them a modicum of implanted intelligence, allowing mites to train Medium vermin and use them as mounts. Vermin empathy treats swarms as if they were one creature possessing a single mind—a mite can thus use this ability to influence and direct the actions of swarms with relative ease.
