Alright assassins, before we can start, you need to tell me about the mission you just accomplished. Choose one of the following:
ASSASSINATION COMPLETED:
Your group was hired to assassinate someone in the area. You completed the task a few nights ago and just met with your client, who paid you handsomely for the service in gold.
FAVOR PERFORMED:
Your group just finished doing a complex and dangerous favor for a powerful individual or organization, and has gained access to that person’s or group’s secrets.
TREASURE RECOVERED:
Your group just completed a treasure hunt, perhaps one that led into a deadly dungeon or had you digging up a buried chest—regardless, you are now richer than you were before!
1. The "main game" continues to be at the table. That means unlike my pure PbP games, I'm not going to push post and action.
2. I'll continue to update electronic trackers, slides, etc for everything. You can look at the top of the thread for the relevant links.
3. This should actually make it a bit easier for me to track where we are in the Pit. I let the tracking get away from me a bit. We can count the current floor as complete. The next few scenes are actually in town.
4. The Discussion Thread (where you are now) is the perfect place to speak up and post about purchases, but don't forget to update the Campaign Tracker.
5. The Game Play Thread is for actual play. Anything there advances the game. I'll make the first post there shortly. Once you post there, it'll show up in your feed. Since PbP is the secondary place for the game, don't feel like you need to make a completely decked out profile: a link to a sheet, and a tagline with your details is plenty.
6. Making a character alias on Paizo is a major pain in the neck, so I can walk anyone through it.

The blood of the mightiest of dragons runs in Zot’s veins. She herself knows that she is a mighty dragon who all lesser creatures should fear. Zot is aware though that being a mighty dragon is not itself enough to succeed in life. She has joined the Pathfinder Society for a chance to adventure, earn gold and travel with companions who can deal with the troublesome thinking that adventures sometimes require. It’s good to travel with experts, so that Zot is free to fight things and be a DRAGON!
GAMBLER BACKGROUND The thrill of the win drew you into games of chance. This might have been a lucrative sideline that paled in comparison to the real risks of adventuring, or you might have fallen on hard times due to your gambling and pursued adventuring as a way out of a spiral. Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Dexterity or Charisma, and one is a free ability boost. You're trained in the Deception skill and the Games Lore skill. You gain the Lie to Me skill feat.

FEATS:
____________________
Ancestry Feats and Abilities
Special 1st: Small, darkvision
Heritage 1st: Dragonblood (Uncommon Heritage) You're descended in some way from a dragon. Your physical features might show this outwardly, with a pair of draconic horns, patches of scaly skin, or even a tail, or you might develop an internal reserve of draconic power. You gain the dragonblood trait, in addition to the traits from your ancestry. Add Draconic to your ancestry's list of additional languages (allowing you to choose it as a language if your Intelligence modifier is positive). When you roll a success on a saving throw against a fear effect, you get a critical success instead. You can choose from dragonblood feats and feats from your ancestry whenever you gain an ancestry feat.
1st: BREATH OF THE DRAGON [two-actions] FEAT 1
DRAGONBLOOD MAGICAL
Tapping into the physiology of your draconic ancestor, you can exhale a torrent of energy in a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot line, dealing 1d4 damage. Each creature in the area must attempt a basic saving throw against the higher of your class DC or spell DC. You can't use this ability again for 1d4 rounds. At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage increases by 1d4. The shape of the breath, the damage type, and the saving throw match those of your draconic exemplar (see above). This ability has the trait associated with the type of damage it deals.
3rd: DRAGON LORE FEAT 1
DRAGONBLOOD
You've set your mind on learning more about your ancestor
and their kin, and perhaps you were even raised by a dragon parent. You've come to understand how dragons can invoke fear but also how they've contributed to society as a whole. You gain the trained proficiency rank in Diplomacy and Intimidation. If you would automatically become trained in one of those skills (from your background or class, for example), you instead become trained in a skill of your choice. You also gain the Additional Lore general feat for Dragon Lore.
Frequency once per round You have grown a small pair of draconic wings or have honed your use of the wings you've had since birth. You Fly. If you don't normally have a fly Speed, you gain a fly Speed of 20 feet for this movement. If you aren't on solid ground at the end of this movement, you fall.
Skill Feats
Background: LIE TO ME FEAT 1
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites trained in Deception.
You can use Deception to weave traps to trip up anyone trying to deceive you. If you can engage in conversation with someone trying to Lie to you, use your Deception DC if it is higher than your Perception DC to determine whether they succeed. This doesn't apply if you don't have a back-and-forth dialogue, such as when someone attempts to Lie during a long speech.
2nd: DIRTY TRICK [one-action] FEAT 1
ATTACK GENERAL MANIPULATE SKILL
Prerequisites trained in Thievery Requirements You have a hand free and are within melee reach of an opponent. You hook a foe's bootlaces together, pull their hat over their eyes, loosen their belt, or otherwise confound their mobility through an underhanded tactic. Attempt a Thievery check against the target's Reflex DC.
Critical Success: Target is clumsy 1 until they use an interact action.
Success: Target is clumsy 1 for 1 round.
Critical Fail: You fall prone.
3rd (Stylish Tricks): INTIMIDATING GLARE FEAT 1
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites trained in Intimidation You can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don't take a penalty if the creature doesn't understand your language.
4th: UNDERWATER MARAUDER FEAT 1
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites trained in Athletics You've learned to fight underwater. You are not flat-footed while in water, and you don't take the usual penalties for using a bludgeoning or slashing melee weapon in water.
6th: Acrobatic Performer
7th (Stylish Tricks): BATTLE CRY FEAT 7
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites master in Intimidation When you roll initiative, you can yell a mighty battle cry and Demoralize an observed foe as a free action. If you're legendary in Intimidation, you can use a reaction to Demoralize your foe when you critically succeed at an attack roll.
8th: KIP UP FEAT 7
GENERAL SKILL
Prerequisites master in Acrobatics
You can stand up without triggering reactions.
General Feats
3rd: Ancestral Paragon
7th: Fleet
Class Feats and Abilities
Feat 1st: YOU'RE NEXT [reaction] FEAT 1
EMOTION FEAR MENTAL SWASHBUCKLER
Prerequisites trained in Intimidation Trigger You reduce an enemy to 0 Hit Points. After downing a foe, you promise another you're coming after them next. Attempt an Intimidation check with a +2 circumstance bonus to Demoralize a single creature that you can see and that can see you. If you're legendary in Intimidation, you can use this as a free action with the same trigger.
Feat 2nd: ANTAGONIZE FEAT 2
SWASHBUCKLER
Your taunts and threats earn your foes' ire. When you successfully Demoralize a creature, its frightened condition can't decrease to less than 1 at the end of its turn until it either uses a hostile action against you or can no longer observe or sense you for at least 1 round.
Prerequisites trained in Acrobatics You become an expert in Acrobatics. At 7th level, you become a master in Acrobatics, and at 15th level, you become legendary in Acrobatics. Whenever you critically succeed at an Acrobatics check to Tumble Through an enemy's space, you don't treat the enemy's space as difficult terrain. Special You can't select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the acrobat archetype.
Feat 6th: ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY [reaction] FEAT 6
SWASHBUCKLER
Trigger A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. You swat a foe that leaves an opening. Make a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If your attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, you disrupt that action. This Strike doesn't count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
Stylish Tricks 3rd At 3rd level, 7th level, and 15th level, you gain an additional skill increase you can apply only to Acrobatics or the skill from your swashbuckler's style. You also gain an additional skill feat at these levels. This feat must be for Acrobatics or the trained skill from your swashbuckler's style.
You dash past an opponent, confounding them with underhanded tactics. Stride up to half your speed. You can attempt a Trip or a Dirty Trick (if you have that action) against one opponent you pass within range of at any point during your movement.
