High Priestess's page

Hi applicants.

I've made my selections and contacted my players. Thanks so much for your interest in the game!

@rorek55 Yep. Recruiting until I see the perfect party of people. I'm in no rush.

@DJ TPK As Havocprince mentioned I gave my Discord tag if you had a pressing need for answers and mentioned I'm more responsive there. That said, I think any concept where you feel the need to ask if playing a rapist is okay you can generally assume it's not okay.

I'm afraid to ask why you'd want to play one.

Refluffing is something I always allow to some extent, but at least stay true to the spirit of the trait. If I see you refluffing for the sake of power (ie, taking Wayang Hunter and Magical Lineage) or refluffing the best traits just so you can take them without having a fitting story then I'm going to roll my eyes and pass you over simply because that's not the type of player I want at my table.

@Pentrax Your character does not in any way fit with the alignment of the game. As specifically outlines, characters must be LN, LE, or NE. Your character, top to bottom, is CE. Also I specifically asked for Myth-Weavers for sheets if you planned on providing a full build.

@DJ TPK if you want to app, please follow the format. I asked for a specific format for specific reasons.

Saashaa, seems like you didn't bother with the application instructions!

Hi Victor! If you want me to consider a character, please make sure you read the How to Apply section and fit that method.

As far as why I don't want to do it here, I don't want to have a forum environment. People tend to bugger off or post irregularly when on forums. A messaging app allows people to be more responsive and eliminates the need to remember to refresh a web page to see that someone has replied. I expect there will be times where active, live RP will be happening as people are home and have time, which suits a messaging app format better.

Hope that makes sense.

I live in NA so I expect the most action to happen during the afternoons and evenings of the region.

There's no replacement schematic in play for skills; we're using the books suggested houserule of +2 skill points for the PC's per level. Background skills are just not being used at this table.

Ah yes, there's always something you miss outside the edit window.

Antipaladin's have flexibility in their alignment to be LE/NE with minor changes to their abilities to reflect that shift.

I look forward to seeing the app, Mr Browman and LAB Rat.

Do you have any opposition to vigilantes? My concept revolves around the vigilante part and cares very little for the social identity shenanigans.

I put what I'm opposed to in the character creation guidelines. Anything else is fair game :P

interested, I didn't see anything mentioned about what races are acceptable. Still thinking of potential ideas.

I assume people can make appropriate racial selections. So many don't have a listed RP, and no way to figure it out, but are still balanced.

Ah, I think I wasn't clear about what I want for that "snippet about the crime they committed" part. I want it written in character or other form of narrative prose (feel free to take creative liberties when it comes to involved NPCs, locations, etc). Just to give me an idea about your skill level and style for writing!

Sorry for not being more clear about that.

I look forward to reading about both of your characters when you post your apps.

Guilty.

No. No one has ever escaped from Branderscar Prison. This is where your story ends.

Game Style
I'll be running this game through Discord rather than on the forums. It's a long AP, sitting at a solid 7 books, so posting once per day isn't going to cut it. I'm hoping that throughout the day, especially during the evenings, we can get in some solid story movement. I don't expected constant devotion, but I do expect you to keep up with the flow of the group (or at least keep up with me, the GM). We're looking for people hungry for RP who enjoy getting into it every chance they can get and have a little extra free time.

This is a story driven campaign, not combat. Though combat will never be trivialized, I will be rigging it to be shorter and less frequent but more intense to make sure you're still being forced to use resources. I reward detail and creativity in combat; smart moves can have more impact than powerful hits. Maps will be used to give you an idea of your surroundings but combat is played out theater of the mind style.

The more specific you are about your actions, the more often you'll see bonuses to your rolls or reduced DCs. I still like things to be probable, so the rule of cool only stretches so far with me. If you need something in the mechanics bent for flavor, you'll find that I can be very amenable to reasonable requests.

About the Campaign
Way of the Wicked is a 3rd party AP and one of the few designed for evil PCs. I'm currently playing it myself and just reached book 7. It's a fun, engaging story with a lot of variety. The basic themes throughout the AP are revenge, corruption, and power. Reading up on Asmodeus (we'll be using Paizo's rendition of the deity) is probably a good idea. Maybe also refresh yourself on the downtime rules, as there will eventually be some time for such activities between missions.

How to Apply
Pick a race, pick a class, and have a general build in mind. I don't expect a completed sheet but having one is certainly not going to hurt your chances. Want to be a fire mage? Tell me that. Grappler? That's really all I need to know. You get the idea. If you do make a sheet, do it in Myth-Weavers.

What I'm really looking for here is a character. I'd like a brief, but well written physical description of the character, a quick overview of their personality, and a snippet about the crime they committed.

Things I do not care about are who their parents are, who bullied them in preschool, how their first love smelled, or how they run like Naruto. The last one especially.

Character Creation

• Level 1
  
• 25 point buy (no focus and foible)
  
• 3 traits, 1 drawback (one trait must be from the handbook)
  
• 0gp starting wealth
  
• LN, LE, NE alignments only

Due to the nature of the game, Paladins are a banned class along with gunslingers (except bolt ace) and gun-using archetypes. Summoners, barbarians, and rogues must be unchained.

House Rules

• Feat fixes are in effect
  
• 2 extra skill points per level (as per the AP's recommendation)
  
• Ninjas receive the unchained rogue's finesse training class feature
  
• I'm open to very little 3pp

Recruitment
I'll be recruiting for as long as it takes. Ideally, no more than a week or two. I'll be picking up 3-5 players for this adventure. This is not the only place I'm recruiting from, but I figured since I wanted to run an ongoing text game, here would probably have the biggest pool of potential players.

About Me
Wowee this has gotten long. That should tell you a little something about me... Anyways, as mentioned above I have played this AP almost to completion. I liked it so much I thought it'd be fun to GM myself. I've been playing Pathfinder for about four years now. I'm currently GMing a Starfinder game for friends, but much prefer standard fantasy. I get more into roleplay when done through text so that's how I'm running this. Plus I find it a lot more low key and manageable than 4-6 hour voice sessions.

Questions? I'm quickest replying on Discord (Toxic#5061) but I'll be keeping my eye on the thread, too.
