Congratz to the selected.

Traditional metal coins are not worth very much on Kisarta and only collectors and craftsman regard them as having any value whatsoever. Raw forms of condensed aether, however, are regarded much like the coinage that the characters may be used to. The faintly-glowing Aether Powder (in pinches and handfuls), Aether Shards, and Aether Coins effectively replace the traditional CP, SP, GP, and PP system. These new currencies are represented by AP, AH, AS, and AC, but you can simply use the traditional currency section on character sheets to track these in game if you wish.

It will come as a great shock to my dragon that his bag of holding full of hoard is considered mostly worthless. But he is a sort of collector, I suppose. And it still makes a good bed.

You would still find competition for your worthless bed. *giggles*

I have no idea how you guys are completing multiple characters, I can’t even get myself satisfied with one. I’ll figure it out soon, I hope lol

Some of us suck at making PCs so we just throw something together. :P

Maybe not suck at it. Just want to create full detailed characters, which usually does take plenty time to do. :)

Updated the last paragraph of background: Ikatarii's death.

To do:

- more of becoming a shaman and shifter.

- how the battle came about resulting in the final scene of death.

Ok, here is Ouachitonian's submission; Melkyzadyk, the Silver-Blue Dragon, late of Triaxus, now of...how curious, what is this place, exactly?

As I said above, he's basically an attempt to build a dragon with a PC race (Taninim) and class levels (Gestalt Draconic Exemplar/Draconic Sorcerer). I tried to hew closely to the flavor of dragons he's descended from, taking most of my spells from the Blue and Silver dragon Bestiary entries (and most of the rest are a mix of cold and electricity attack spells), similarly choosing Draconic Exemplar Gifts, Weapons, Defenses, and Essence to mirror his ancestry. Should be a hell of a switch hitter, able to close and hammer enemies with six natural attacks, or hover and rain his cold breath weapon, Lightning Bolt, Snowball, etc from on high. He has no items except a Bag of Holding II full of 11,500 GP. Because whoever buried him thought he might need a bed in the afterlife. I did use ABP; it just seemed appropriate.

I see some of the others have offered multiple submissions. I might do that. Not sure yet.

hmmmm.... dragon.... you will be studied....

Thought of a slight alternative to Ikatarii, a wyrmtouch - draconic lshifter & polymorph savant - draconic [shaman/ldruid/lsorcerer]. Though don't have luxury of time to build another character.

Got "In the Company of Dragons" in my next shopping wishlist. Definitely like to explore dragon character, but being unfamiliar with this source book, so I decided against making a flop of using a dragon for this adventure.

I see if I get some time today to add more to background.

I have added what I have for the background. It is incomplete. I am getting rather busy with urgent work, so having little time to work on the background. Definitely need to do the battle with the Hellknight, still deciding whether it be a solo battle, or a few Hellknights and strix fighting it out.

Free for Fighters, but others may take it for a feat.

I've never played with Stamina before, so forgive this probably silly question... By 'Free for Fighters' you mean the Fighter class specifically and not the adjacent classes like Cavalier or Samurai, correct?

I'm asking for a friend. XD

How I read the 4 descriptions. 2. and 3. are just for Fighter class. For non-fighters, it would have to be either 1. Feat Access or 4. Free for Everyone.

Free for Everyone, means all the melee classes can get it for free (no feat slot to be used), not just fighters.

---------

I have added appearance and personality. Only the background remains. Making sure I get the timeline correct so background makes sense, thus taking longer, and trying to fit it in between work.

Update Ikatarii profile.

Drake stats added, all gear done.

Outstanding: Background (skeleton done, adding flesh), appearance (both), personality.

Have updated profile with Ikatarii stats crunch. Drake to be done today and tomorrow.

I have taken cloud dragon to be shaman's patron, as I thought it was most fitting of the dragon types for the area where Ikararii lives. The drake would just have appearance of the chosen patron, breath weapon selected to mostly fit the patron's breath weapon.

Progress on character.

Most is done, except for:
- gear (which may affected some stats)
- appearance (affected by gear) and personality
- fulling out of background (will do once drake is done)
- drake companion (will be faster to do as it is not gestalted)

Populating profile:
- Abilities and feats done

There are enough quality submissions and concepts that I have formally decided to up the party size. So everyone's chances of grabbing a spot just grew a little bit larger.

So glad to see this. :)

I see some rather interesting submissions, serious contenders.

For house rule "Stamina and Combat Tricks", which variant are you allowing:

1. Feat Access,
2. Free for Fighters,
3. Fighter Bonus Feats Only,
4. Free for Everyone

How does automatic bonus progression work with animal companions, familiars, etc...?

Good question if I think of using the system too

Hive mind race. Interesting. Would there be a link to the hive once materialising in Kirasta?

So we need to roll here for HP for companions?

Now that is interesting question regarding companions (whatever it may be). Considering I have a drake companion. Even though companions are single classed, do we just apply the max HD +1 per level? What about extra feats, considering characters getting 1 every level?

Just want to check.

Knowledge skills, will only be of use for identifying creatures, traps, and the like. Yet useless for the lore of Karista. This would make the nobility, local and history knowledge skills rather bad choice, yet may be very important in previous life.

What is your recommendation regarding knowledge skills?

I am reading correct per level, it is max value of HD plus 1 plus Con/Cha modifier?

The beginnings of filling out the profile for submission.
