Corsario, I think Ace just dropped a BIG hint about the PC type that may be picked. Ace seems to be looking for base line "regular" high-level characters with little 3PP. Ace "I'm still playing mostly paizo, I only have a little 3rd party and I'm not planning to go too exotic on the race. I won't be too keen to pick a party that will completely outshine me because of crazy stuff lol" Its why I dropped a PC that was mostly 3pp, Race, items, class, feats, traits etc. For one that's all paizo but for a simple 3pp Class, A class that does a few simple core things well and is none to complicated.
@Ace, well kind of happy I dropped the Elan Telepathic Psion, she was just about 100% 3PP, Evilena Poppet Sckhold is a Kitsune but that is 100% paizo race, but her class is 3pp. but As a Warlock, don't think it's that over powered, she is good at a very small range of things. Leaving loads of space for other party members. She is also a lot less complicated. Just tracking spells at 12th level can drive you nuts. I also think she will be a hoot to play, being very much a playful child, none to wise in the bigger world.
GM Panic here, I was working on The Lady Dizit Sama, last night and it hit me, she is just TOOO complicated.
So with that in mind I set out to make a simple PC who carries nothing, A PC who can just cast things with out all the fuss.
I really like her, She's a Kitsune Warlock.
She spends most of her time in Fox from., out in the wilds, She is CG, with a strong link to the Fey. So much simpler, and I feel she would be so much more in tune with the spirit of this game. So pulling Lady Dizit Sama and Offering up in her place, Evilena (Poppet) Sckhold CG Kitsune Warlock.
Poppet time: She sat on small table in the Inn. It was a nice place, and the bar keep here in Barlily. She was board, nothing going on and waiting for anything. Being only 1' tall the market had little she wanted. Finding a place to say, well she cared that round with her. She spent her time there pick up a apple and sending it spinning around a drunks head. Just to see if he would notice. He black wings folded behind her. she put her chin on her fist and waited to see of fun would show up anytime soon.
Eviena IMAGE would like to play please, she is 1' tall and not very strong, but I think she would be a lot of fun. Race Sckhold Fey RP14:

In looks.
At 1' tall its hard to make the world realize your one-day going to rule over it as an Evil overlord. Which her mother Keeps telling her is her Destiny. She knows this because she looked in some dead Chickens guts one day and there is was. Now being this small means you have to be two things, fast and Smart. She is both, but what makes things harder is that she she do's not carry any weapons of any kind, why, well a tiny great sword is not much use unless your fighting a tiny rat. So she uses her mind to fight. No really she dose, she is not just smart, she can melt you frinking brain from the inside out, given err time. Any way, she is small has two Raven like wings, as this thing for Black and seems to be a little erratic when it comes to the whole Evil thing. personality: Evilena is 110% EVIL see! No no I am not joking, Ok yes she dose tend to get guilt trips over things and yes now and then she will help others and do selfless acts. But She is Evil ok!!, just not all the time and there is this problem, she will tell you she is evil that She dose evil things like change road signs and move things when no one is looking! But she kind of really hates the whole Violence thing all that stuff, hates pain and the sight of blood. It would be much better if others just took it that she was the ruler of the world, evil to the core and Queen of all. Well when she is not helping others and doing stuff for anyone or she feeling sorry for them. Truth is she is a bit rubbish at the whole evil overlord stuff, but she is trying. She really is, just not today.
Patchy The Pirate wrote: Well SpongeBob hails from beneath the waves, his stories are of heart and whimsy, but if you look closely you can see that he has a dark side. He is relatively unknown in these parts and I am here with Polly trying to spread his word. Again speeding over her words like a fey on cat-nip rushes out a stream of thoughts, like a Verbal Chain gun. "He and I take it with a name like bob, its a he, sounds very waterry based, I was kind of looking for a none gender non sort of spastic deity, you know one with no real power other than creation and the odd profit now and then a long time ago, sort of add to the mystery and not have them, you know, around to get in the way of earthly power, I mean, the last thing I want is a god who will turn up and tell me what to do, Nope I think if they had some Obscure and obtuse holy-book that everyone reads but do's not really follow that would be best. That way you could have things in it like. "Killing is bad ok" but then have other parts saying "Killing is good ok" and that way you can pick and choose, I mean that would be really helpful when running the world, There is black and white, 'DO as I say, don't do as I do, cuz god says so' would be really useful that and save a load of time." you may get the idea she talks like this most of the time, crazy fast. Well tomorrow is picking day, you get the idea of what she is like now. She is smart, talks really fast, spinning out her plans to become the worlds evil dictator, but if you hear her plans they seem, well good, or for the grater good, as if she has good and evil mixed up in her head. I hope you like her GM.
"Tell me more of this Spung-poob you talk of" Then to Oranna "Be my Henchwoman, hurt when I need some hurt-in done to others, protect when I need some Protecting and help me in my evil plans to take over the world, that kind of thing, O and check for monsters under my bed, you can never be to careful when it comes to under the bed." She says being 100% serous
she looks over at Dr McKnuckles, then starts talking, its like she dos not take a breath, it all comes out in one long stream of words. "Well there are a number of reasons, I think I can do a much better job of running the place than the block heads who seem to be trying to do so at the moment. I mean really, idiotic things they do. Take faiths for one thing, all those gods, really do we need them all. Why not just have one who looking after the whole afterlife thing and has nothing to do with the world. You know, a whole hands off approach for once. In fact what call it faith at all when your local god shows up and shows you they are real with a demonstration of their power. Where the faith in that! "O grate god Thingy are you real" then Boom you pants are on fire and your thinking. Yep your there alright. That's not true faith, that's just following the bleedin obvious. And what comes from this existential certainty. A bunch of priests and cult leader just doing what they are told to mess things up. While not actuality teaching faith but do as your told. That's just one thing I would change, yep a single Church with a inscrutable god that dos not directly interfere with the world and never talks to anyone but nut jobs now and then. And don't get me started in the body politic. This whole might is right thing is nuts, no we need a functional democracy of total inclusion. No more just killing thing because you think they should not live. Its crazy. Also with magic why is there not universal health care, a free education system and a cheap and reliable transport system, let alone housing. It seems the whole world has been set up buy the gods for perpetual strife and suffering. Why not change all that and have a world of opulence and peace with me as you all powerful ruler. Really how can you say no." She gives a sweet smile at the end,
Hops over the Orannas shoulder now she has agreed to work as her Henchwoman/halforc. "Part of your body, I see, that is, well... nice. Bit like my wings then which reminds." She starts to check out her plumage after her beer dip. "So I was told there was some work to be found here about's, and as I will need coin to develop my evil plans to take over the world. Was keeping a eye out, for any being offered. Been here 3 days now waiting, seems with this rain we will all be staying the night. Best get you spots booked before the best spaces are gone."
She is just about to reply to Patchy and his stuffed pal, when S'quig-aly comes over. Her eyes ho wide and with a jump she joins Polly on Patchy's shoulder.
"Hells B*&@ h%~*, its a Chaos beast in a dress!" Then realizing she was talking out aloud, she stood back out along the shoulder as if this sort of thing happens every day. "Not that I have not see err worse of course." now happy to look cool once more she cocks her head to hear what they say.
She looks to the left and the right as if she is going to say something that is secret or bad to utter out in public. then she takes her wing and pulls it round so that it overs the lower part of her face. "I AM A SCKHOLD!" she says with dramatic affect then looks at the faces looking at her.
Her arms fall to her side an a look of utter deflation. "Sckhold fey, you know from the deeper darker words,, mothers tell children about us, leading the foolish astray, hiding homework and a 1000 other diabolical evil things." Still no recognition. "No, really! O I give up" she throws her arms up and in a huff gos to get a drink.
Jumps to one side as the big green finger comes her way. She cast her once a day prestidigitation to fully dry and clean herself. Happy now, she puts her hands on her tiny hips and says looking the massive green orc in the eye. "Who you calling a thing, I'm not a thing, I'm Evilena, master of all she sees and evil overlord of the whole world, bow before me you big... big orc, green woman." she seems a little lost as to how to best insult Oranna. She relaxed and says in an apologetic way. "Look I'm sorry this is a little embarrassing but I really don't want to use the wrong term for your race you know. I know how sensitive some can be about such thinks and quit frankly I agree. I mean the times I get called a Pixie, really as if I look anything like one. They have butterfly wings ok, look at mine, see raven wings. No the same at all, you would think they know. Anyhow sorry where was I, yes, what term would you like me to use in regard to your race. Then we can get back to the whole me threatening you thing, Thinks." She waits but a human male starts to talk to her tormentor as well, Well that's just typical, I just get into the swing of a good evil rant and i'm interrupted, when I rule the world, there want be any more interrupting, on no, hangings to good for em, burned live yes. She seems happy at this thought, A tiny little doll like fey smiling to herself, how cu... nearly said it.
Mind if I set the setting for a little fun and games RPing some sillyness, sorry may have got carried away, cuz I think I channeled Terry Pratchett and went all Disk world, any how. [spoiler=In The Throaty Mermaid] Location: The Throaty Mermaid
The Throaty Mermaid, A classic dock side tavern, in the more seedy part of Port town. Know for its cheap ale, experience imported spirits, the fact it lets orcs, Goblins and Tifelings in the place. As Old blind Tom likes to say about letting just about anyone in to the place. "Bleeding Coins as good as anyone's" On the door a Butter and Miss Flowers, two male Minotaur bouncers, Butter is your typical 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe and evil look and drunks get thrown out on their butts. Where as Miss Flowers is also 8' tall with Axe and a dress. He, sorry she, will come over as ask you nicely to stop fighting or what ever and then thrown you out on their butts. It is an unwritten rule and a very good idea NOT to ask a cross dressing 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe, why he's are a cross dressing 8' tall Minotaur with a very large Axe., or once could find out just how big that axe really is. The tavern, has a second floor, around the bar is a balcony from which doors can be seen. Stairs lead up to a very fat woman, half orc buy the looks of her, This is the realm of Big Betty, Old Blind Toms wife, and mistress of the working girls who hire her rooms. Its always a bit of pot look who you get in one of Big Bets rooms, as she is not every good with numbers and gets rooms mixed up. But one number she never forgets and that is the 10 gold it takes to get past her and to a room. What the lady in side charges you for what every you do in there is no ones business but your own. But its 10 gold to peek at the wares. Butty has a soft voice and a very big stick, its always a good idea to show her respect. Down below there is a bard platform, behind a chicken wire fence. Many bottles have been know to be thrown at bards who did not please the clients. A nice warm fire and all around the lowlife on port town. Cut throats, Pirates, Sell swords, Spell throwers and even a group of real scum!, layers, sit at one table, all in suits, drinking white wine spritzers and talking the client billing. In to this space walks a young man, Wilbert Torichfoyu who is spotted by a small doll like thing standing an a shelf above the bar. She looks down at the drinkers, sitting on stools below her, than back at him. She had been trying hard to get one if not more of the drinkers below under her Evil power. But most where to drunk or just broke out in peels of laughter when she informed they where now her thralls. But this one, this one, this could be it. "Now there is someone who has the potential to be a good henchmen by the looks of him, humans always make good Henchmen, my book of Evil overlord ship says so. Short lived so they are Brave, hearty risk takers, in other words stupid. So now to make my evil plans and entrap him in my web of evil. MOwowowohahah-Aaaaaaaaaaaa." She rubbed her tinny little hands together but her maniacal laugh got a little out of hand, she lost her balance, tipped over the Rail of the shelf and fell in to the Lady Orcs Drink just placed on the bar. There was a splash and a wash or Ale across the bar as Evilena feel butt 1st into Oranna's large mug of ale. For a few moments Evilena set in the much, her legs sticking out and drenched in Ale. Pulling her self out the mug she stood on the bar ale falling once more around. Old blind Tom started mopping up around her. Evilena seeing the faces of the bar drinkers looking at her standing there dripping wet. "What you lot looking, never seen a fey take a bath before!" She started to ring out her sleeves, then stopped looking back round at the drinker. As Tom placed another Ale for Oranna on the bar. "That ones going on your Tab, Evilena"
"If ANY of you say the word Cute! ill scratch your bleeding eyes out." Then she went back to drying herself off, standing on the bar. All 1' of her. Ill spoiler other long posts like this in future, GM if you think its to much let me know and ill dial it back.

Added some Drawbacks for fun, like Pride and Family ties
I think she is done, think she will be a load of fun to play. Flying up to NPCs all 12 inches of her and ordering them to bow before her. Also really want some MPCs to mix her up with a lucky Pixie, and start asking to help around the house and clean things. or NPC1
NPC2
Eviena gives the a dirty look and flys off, muttering to herself. "Your sooooo dead when I rule the world "^"*^"=====&^%"&*^%*!! haha
GM: GM I alway want to add this to her race, so you can have fun with her. Erratic Aliment (0RP)
To her its her inner self saying she is being TO good or TO evil.
Edited, with full build Sir Longears + GM: Hum... I see you are also trying to make a 'gestalt', so like what I did with Edinoiz, I looked for a way for you to avoid it, if you are interested in the concept you mentioned, and not just getting powerful PCs. With a 15 point buy in the race builder system, here is an option for you: That is a sound idea and one I did look at, core thing is I wanted to to fit power level but not be a one hit kill, her Con will be loa and shes not really a hard hitter. The fun part is going to be her thinking her way out of things over a few PCs offered who are Charisma massed all ready. We have Charming in spades with this many bards. So taking the core of that 15 point spend and seeking a more int can darker fey I came up with this race build, which gives me more the look and feel I was after, The Sckhold Fey

Tiny (4 RP) -2Str/+2Dex/+8Stealth

GM PC notes edited : Johnny_Panic: Evilena Poppet Sckhold (Fey Psion) - Complete notes: I'm going to have to dial back the 40 RP bit, so far the average race RP has been under 15. Its one side of her PC, hence the CR3 taking up the whole of that, Th other roots is to find a Fey with CR3 and user that in place of race builder. I really want to keep her size tiny and light, with out that she is not my PC idea. Edit
Please list the weights of the equipment
She spent her cash on a ring of sustenance GM so no need for pesky food or water. and a pathfinder pouch for other items, no need for back pack withe a lesser bag of holding, etc.
Please add in background skills.
RP sample:
Three Elf knights where mounted on fine Elks, their horns tipped with gold. The knights themselves had in fine green and gold armor, that matched their helms and long spears. They had been going to the wedding of a local Nobel, but where stood now in the road looking down at a tiny Dark from who was addressing them. "...And from here on out if you wish to pass along safely and not feel my wrath, you shall have to bow before the Dread Mistress Evilena Sckhold, in this way be speared from death and pain, by my very hand.." She Flow up to head height and looked at them with her best evil look. The three knights looked at her a moment, then at each other then they bust into peals of laughter. That really got her gout. "Look stop that, I mean to, you shall bow before me or... HAY!!" The three had started to ride past her with out another word, still chuckling to each other. As they went on down the road she shuck her fist after them, "O yes you will pay!" A new voice joined hers. "O yes, they will pay, pay by telling everyone at the next inn they drink in that a my sister is the dread Mistress of clover lee road. haha" Evilena looked around to see her sister flying close to her, a big grin on her face. "So Scary Poppet the Dread miss, aahahh o your killing me stop, they will lose second of sleep think back to how sca..." A lump of mud hit Evilena sister in the face. "Hay this is holy armor Ill have you know. Lucky for you its self cleaning. Sister mind. So can I tell dad you have yet again failed to terrorize and will be taking the path of goodness, poppy." She said this with a grin "Go boil your head Briney, and STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Briney just smiled more. "Come on, Evilena, this is just stupid, you still mad dad did not invite you to his wedding, Look your never going to scare anyone. stop this Evil overlord sillyness. Look at that farmer you where going to torment last week, your fixed it roof and sorted out his cow. your good just face it." Evilena look at her sister hard. "So what, I just did not want to get wet while informing him of his no roll as my Captain of Guard. And I wanted tea an milk, so fixing the cows as well was for me not him. Look I told him if he did not do as I said I would hide is tools, he was worried I could tell." Briney throw her hands up and in a mock voice said. "O no where is my hammer, drat that will show me to mess with Evil Poppet" "DONT CALL ME THAT!!, look why don't you jus.." Suddenly there was loud screams form down the road. Briney stopped and looking worried down the way the knights, from the side of her mouth she asked. "Evilena, what was that?" Now it was Evilena's chance to look smug, with a slight O was that me in her voice she said. "That, O I don't know, could be a Giant someone persuaded to sit on the read and eat anyone going to a wedding, you know the ones like the weddings elfish Honor guard who did not stop and proclaim me their evil overload. Seems the poor knight may have just meet him, you now how much I hate the sight of blood best stay here till its all over." Now with a Shocked look on her face Briney bellowed. "YOU DID WHAT!!" "Well he was so hungry, Like I did warn them, death and pain I said, not my falt they did not bow down. O! I think I hear bones crunching." Briney gave Evilena a evil look. "Your such a *£&£*£!! now ill have to go help and that means Ill be **£&£* late for dads wedding. Happy now!!" and with that shot off down the road. Evilena looked on after her. "Such a potty mouth, and Yep! I think I am sister mind, now what to do next." She was started to leave heading for the next town when she stopped.
She could die, she could be hurt.. and it would all be down to you. how... "all right!, all right! ok! yes!, look I'm going OK, now get off my case." She turned back and shot off after her sister. 10 Min Background full: Five things about Evilena Poppet Sckhold 1.
