I would also like to offer sincere apologies - work and COVID have given me zero free time of late. I'll catch-up properly asap


Dotting for absolute interest. As this will be my first StarFinder scenario, I'd prefer to create something along the lines of a Mercenary-Soldier or an Ace Pilot Operative.

I'll have something up later today :)


You'll have a character from me today :)


Dotting, given a high level of interest on my part. Just one question...would you prefer we avoided the 'Apprentice Option' or is this something we could consider?


I'll gladly go with the majority :)


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Dotting in the hope that others are interested and the game happens :)


Dotting (I sent you a PM and will have my character with you very, very soon) :)


Many thanks for all the help. Given my location (UK) and work-life balance, finding a block of hours to RP is impossible these days.

I'll check out the various forums now :)


I promise I've read through plenty of documents and searched the Forum, but couldn't find a definitive answer to the following (so hoping someone can help):

1. Is PFS gaming happening on-line now? I presume so (given COVID), but does it have to be done in a four-hour window - or is like like a regular PbP?

2. Same question for Gameday IX (appreciate it's a slightly different question, but I didn't want to spam two forums when one would do)

Many thanks :)


Foxy - Given I really want to invest in creating P2e characters, I've decided not to progress my application. Many thanks for considering me and good luck in finding your new player :)

Have a link? The only Lion Blade I found was a prestige class.

Sorry, I should have explained better. It is a prestige class, but an odd one - in that you technically join as a novice, yet don't become a Lion Blade until you meet the prerequisites. It would be hard (from a story perspective) to suddenly become one, given the training required.

So yes, I will start out as a rogue and 'become' a fully-fledged Lion Blade at the appropriate time. Plan B was to start as a Bard, but I prefer the street urchin background better.

Hope this now makes sense :)

OK, as promised, here is the fluff of the character. I've started the build, but held back until you either liked or disliked the concept in terms of how they might fit in.

** spoiler omitted **...

I like the fluff. From the description I guess Unchained Rogue?

Actually a Lion Blade (which was published in the Taldor sourcebook to coincide with the second installment of the Legacy of Fire AP). I'll work on the crunch now :)


OK, as promised, here is the fluff of the character. I've started the build, but held back until you either liked or disliked the concept in terms of how they might fit in.

Background
It is an all too familiar story – children of travellers becoming orphans due to bandits, beasts and sometimes even the elements. Manuk was no different – her parents died at the hands of slavers, whilst she was spared. Children, apparently, were more easily controlled and had a longer (likely) lifespan, and so fetched a better price for the investment.
A relatively plain child, she ‘scrubbed up well’ and had a smile that allowed her to woo an old woman who took pity and paid over the odds for her at market. It was, for Manuk, at least a chance for regular meals, new clothes and a modicum of learning – as she was taught to play a number of musical instruments. She found them fascinating – which endeared her even more to the old woman.
Alas, the woman’s only son was less virtuous, and had designs on the young Manuk. Fortunately, she was able to evade his clutches – until the fateful day when the old woman died. Understanding that slavery did not end with the owner’s death, Manuk knew she had to do something – and so ran away – as far as she could.
Knowing the authorities would not spend too much time looking for a teenage girl, she kept her head down and eked out a living by picking pockets on the streets of Oppara. As chance would have it, she found she could make good money through begging and lacking an instrument to play, sang songs – which is where she was first considered to join one of the bardic colleges, and was working her way through the entrance examinations when a more clandestine organisation showed an interest.
And so, trained in a hidden Shadow Schools beneath the streets of Oppara, Manuk was schooled in the arts of a Lion Blade of Taldor. Her background was perfect. She was used to crowded urban areas and had become master of motion, controlling both her own movement and those around her. She was taught to deliver a quick flick with a blade, and slow her enemy to a crawl and then step into the crowd and disappear from sight. Her background in musical instruments and her singing voice – plus ability to create songs on the fly were considered a real asset.
So, a full year into her training and not yet considered worthy of taking on missions for the Lion Blades, she was expected to hone her craft in the field – with a specific brief to be the eyes and ears of the Blades by taking on any opportunity that came along – and by doing so perfect her art in the real world.

Manuk Gagak
Anyone would might see her in action, might pigeon-hole her as a rogue, but given she’d truly neutral in her outlook (she thinks of good as better than evil) and is not personally committed to upholding the law and so acts without prejudice or compulsion – but simply does as the Lion Blades dictate. Personal gain does not enter into her psyche.
Her lack of strength means she always plans to get close to her victim and will use stealth or her charisma to achieve the mission, be that a kill or to gain valuable information. She may not be strong, but she is agile and uses this to compensate when others underestimate her abilities. She's smart enough and also charming when it suits her.
Manuk has short dark hair and is of above-average height for a woman and is slender in build. She wears dark clothes, typically leather, and wears a loose-fitting cloak over the top.

Hi. We are searching for a new companion for this legacy of fire crew.

We have an Inquisitor, a Bard and a Sorcerer.

20 point build, no min-max characters, CRB races, other races need approval first.

The original recruistment was here, for more details about build requirements and such.

We're currently at character level 2.

This sounds perfect for me - so I'll pull something together and get it to you in the next few hours :)


I'm a seasoned RPGer and also played extensively on-line. I played the original Pathfinder for many years - but recently focused on HP and SW on-line storytelling.

I'm back as I can't wait to play Starfinder - and 2.0 too. I can turn my hand to any adventure path or home-brew - and can turn around a character in next to no time :)
