Sweet! I'll keep on being here.

This thing's dead now, huh? Pity. I'll keep checking for a few more days, I suppose.
I'm ready! And psyched! I wanna slay some fools!
No, worries, Michael. Isaac may be lawful good, but he's no paladin. He upholds the law, but doesn't have much in the way of a code of honor. If Michael fights demons, we're all still friends, no matter what your family has done. After all, one of Isaac's goals is to finish off his corrupt family.
Filled out a bit more of Isaac's personality to give you a better idea of who he is. The biggest source of conflict with Isaac will likely be his initial unwillingness to forgive any demon-related enemy. This is an attribute that will experience growth as we progress.
So, I'm looking for connections to other characters for Isaac. He would know of Cerenae name from his father and brothers and his brief stint in the fourth crusade. Any other potential bites?
Alright, I think I'm ready, as well. Thanks for your patience.
Did you ever make a final call on drawbacks? Isaac has one, but it fits thematically, as does the extra trait.
I'm actually going to make your life a little bit easier by pulling out. I just had my submission picked for a different WotR game. Best of luck to you. GM'ing is noble art, and actually pretty hard to mess up too badly unless you're just hopelessly beyond hope as a human being. It's as much social as mechanical. As long as everyone is decent to each other, it'll be fine. Best wishes.
Well...my mouse is broken, so I'm trying to use my keyboard to navigate everything right now...it's unpleasant. I'll pick up a new mouse tomorrow, but for the meantime, just know that I'm here and I'll be ready to go ASAP.
So, perhaps it's a bit shameless, but I thought you might like to know that, as a player, I can post several times a day most days. I can post from my phone almost any time, so as long as it's just dialogue or simple actions, I can keep going all day. Not that I'm trying to score a spot on the team or anything...just thought you'd like to know. ;)
Isaac is on 15 point, but upping it to 20 would be nothing big. He's a bard, but re-flavored so that, instead of performing, he gives battlefield orders to the same effect. No mechanical difference, just fluff. I'd be on the marshal mythic path, and serve as the party face/buffer for the most part. Stats and background are in the alias.
Yeah, might as well jump in on this one, too. I'm starting to see a lot of familiar faces from other recruitments. Everything is up in the alias. He's a bard, but re-flavored a little so that, instead of performing, he gives battlefield orders, kind of like the warlock class from 4e, if anyone knows it. Gunning for the marshal mythic path, currently on a face/buff/skills/tactics build. Isaac can be pretty utilitarian.
This GM_Jacob. Isaac's stats are a work in progress. I'm close, but not quite done yet.
Isaac would normally be sticking his nose in everyone's business, looking for some injustice to root out, but the frustration of Armasse has caused him to take to brooding. Besides, it seems that there are other good, lawful folk to deal with the philosophical debates. Isaac knew full well that he didn't have the brains to deal with that. Rather than drink, Isaac simply stands aside, keeping an eye on the tiefling. Waiting, watching. If he's honest with himself, he's hoping that someone will cause trouble. At least it would be something to do until the next foray into the Worldwound.
Isaac accepts Drake's explanation, but obviously not happily. Indeed, even those who would do evil are tolerable when they are constrained by law. As long as you are here to uphold order, we are companions.
In response to Drake's remark about Armasse, Indeed, I have not been a man long enough to have enjoyed the times when Armasse was a day of preparation and renewal. I remember them fondly, though, albeit only from my history books. Now it seems Armasse is little more than an excuse for everyone to forget their duty and ignore the threat bearing down upon us.
Isaac was hoping to avoid seeing people as much as possible today, unusual as that may be for him. Everyone assumed that he would love Armasse, being the valiant, noble holy warrior that he is. Hah! To think that I would condone such waste when there is evil on our doorstep! As he storms down the street, looking for someone to complain to, Isaac notices a rather significant bit of tiefling march into the Defender's Heart. Aha! Something is afoot! I will serve my god today, yet! Isaac follows the tiefling into the common room, inspecting him for signs of wrongdoing. If there's one thing Isaac hates, it's injustice. It wouldn't be fair to assume this "man" is up to no good. I shall have to investigate.
Asmodeous...well, that's a strike against. Unfortunately, I cannot challenge this fiend unless I know of wrongdoing. At any rate, I shall keep an eye on him. That character questioning him is only interested in honor. I must uphold justice once again. You there! Tiefling! Pardon my interruption, but may I inquire as to your business here? You know full well that this is no time nor place for trouble, and you are obviously not causing any right now. What is your agenda, and why did you not share with the other gentleman? I ask only for the sake of upholding the law. It is my highest duty.
Well hello, Tierce. It's been a while. Do you remember me from your Epiphany campaign? I loved that, and would be honored to reprise Isaac for this game. I can pretty easily re-situate the stats for this particular game. Isaac would be on the marshal path. Also, seeing as how there's already a combat cleric, I'd be more than happy to do a fighter (archer) into champion or perhaps even a bard, as long as I could re-flavor him to issue battle commands and advice instead of performing - he would go for marshal.
Awww. Sad face. Thanks for the great time, though. I hope to see more of Epiphany.
Isaac is feeling a little better today. He has decided that, regardless of whether or not Praetor is all he ever hoped and dreamed, the Age of Madness was still a thing to be stopped. Maybe Isaac could learn a bit more about Praetor and these other gods on his journey. When Talon offers Tierce up for accompaniment, Isaac steps forward, holds out his hand to Tierce, and says It would be an honor.
Well, where do you intend to go now?
Isaac is less interested in the supplies and more interested in Talon and his men. What are you doing here?
Cool. I'll work the godless cleric angle for now, with the intention of tracking down a new one.
Hmmmm. A thought. If I ditch Praetor, what will I do for spells until I find something else to draw from? Actually, I think I will change my deity to none at this milestone. No mechanical change, since my domains are the same. Isaac hasn't completely ditched Praetor yet, but it looks like it's coming soon.
I took an extra HP for my favored class bonus, a rank of Know(history) for my measly one skill point.
What kind of HP increase are we doing? Full, half, average, roll? Isaac will sit back for a bit and listen. He needs time to think, and I won't be able to post much at all tomorrow. Good timing.
Isaac looks like he is about to explode from all the events of this day. Praetor's name. It's Talon.
That cannot be! But, why would you lie?... Isaac begins to fret and pace, putting his hands to his face, then back down, then to his weapons, then to face...muttering all the while. Praetor - the god of war? Killed the others...forced worship...nnggh... After some time of his frenzied muttering, he turns back to Odin. What of these other gods? Who are they? What do they stand for?
So, Praetor killed other gods? How can that be? I thought Praetor was the only one. That means that...why does most of the world worship Praetor now if they did not always? Isaac realizes that Praetor is not necessarily the perfect leader he always imagined. His values of freedom and devotion are conflicting.
Starts the age of madness? I thought the age of madness ended when Praetor brought order to the heavens. Is the mad priest the same as Nemesis? Who was that man that took Groden, and where did they go?
Isaac mourns quietly and alone. After a time, he returns to make sure Groden's body is handled appropriately. He does not speak unless spoken to, and will participate in any ceremony. If no one else makes a move, he will conduct a burial himself. Afterwards, Isaac awaits the eagle-nosed man.
Isaac keeps hacking away, but with a huge grin on his face. Praetor has come! As soon as the fight is over, Isaac dashes over to Groden and blows every bit of magic he has left.
Isaac batters the zombie that hurt him with his morningstar as he moves to Groden. >>
Yeah, I'm more than happy to help a new player join the gang, but he's not even trying to spell better. I can teach play by post, but I can't teach spelling.
Isaac's standard glows and emanates golden light, washing over the pack of 8 zombies as he charges at them with the intention of getting to Groden.
I have to work tonight, so I'm posting my actions here so that I don't hold up combat. Groden! I'm coming! Isaac attacks the zombies surrounding Groden with Channel positive energy to harm, then with his morningstar. After the fight, he will expend all 3 remaining channels on healing injured, especially Groden, if necessary.

As demonstrated in Nemesis's Eternal Horizon adventures, a skeleton rocks. The DR 5/Bludgeoning is fantastic, plus it doesn't need to breathe.
Oh, yeah. I'm actually playing that guide in a Kingmaker game right now. I was hoping that there was some sort of guide dedicated to just group tactics and unusual party builds.
Isaac roars viciously and moves immediately to defend Groden, casting magic weapon on his morningstar. Status: Round: 1

Hey, I'm always down for some unorthodox party makeups. In my first game ever (Labyrinth Lord), we all chose different classes, but after that first game we pretty much did whatever we want. One of my favorite games was when everyone played full or 3/4 martial classes. We had no magic and very few skills. It basically played like a tactical wargame, but with personality. We had a blast formulating delicate plans and ambushes since we didn't really ave a chance otherwise. Can you link that guide, Tierce, my google-fu is weak before lunch and I can't find it. Boomer, I was thinking perhaps we could both be involved in the same military organization. Maybe even just the local army?
Boomer, in the thread where I tried to give him a few tips he said that English is his native language and he is "gust not a good speller." Oh, well. But, not really. My reaction to that was actually more like "Dear sweet Zombie Richard Tap Dancing Nixon what have we done to this country?" Anyways, I posted in Felisin's thread asking about an arcane archer option which will start as a basic fighter(archer), so we could totally tie in with each other.
Alright, alright, I went with the archer setup. No thanks to Boomer.
Isaac rushes into town looking for things to save/slay.
Confound you Boomer for stealing my Lore Warden slot! I kid you not, that was precisely the build I intended to post until I saw yours. By the way, Tierce, I noticed that person post on the boards earlier, and dropped a friendly hint about spelling and grammar, but to no avail, clearly. I literally would not be able to play with someone who writes like that.
So, perhaps, Praetor did not create the world, but rather brought it to order? If that is the case, and I cannot imagine any other reasonable explanation, we must stop that man, Nemesis, from doing his work. I will come to find you in Tyr. He then turns back to Soris and Boomer working on moving the statue and says Come, let us return this to Cross. Surely it is the best prize that has been claimed. He proceeds to assist them however he can to carry the statue.
Hey! Hey! Wait up! Isaac had never felt this way before. For the first time, he felt that he was truly involved in a great adventure. This time, he was not overestimating his situation. He jogs to catch up with Tierce. You said earlier that you were on a mission given to you by Tyrene. Then, you disparaged the name of Praetor. Now, you tell us that you, or at least your name, out-dates Tyrene entirely and that you are tasked with preventing some sort of...what...age of madness? What are you getting at? Did Praetor not bring order to the world? How can there be madness?
