GMT's War For The Crown

Thanks for your consideration, GM Tallgrass; good luck and have fun, guys!
GMT's War For The Crown

Preliminary crunch is up inside my profile, but still very WIP. You mentioned you'd be open to re-flavoring some traits, and I have a couple questions on that.

First is the Rising Star campaign trait. I took it but it's kind of geared towards artists or performers. Would you be ok having it apply to the Heal skill instead, or even Profession Herbalist? At the moment I applied it to Craft Alchemy, which she could use to make herbal remedies if they have pretty low crafting DC's. Also, the trait offers a masterwork tool for the chosen skill, as a gift from her patron family. Either way, what would be fitting for Heal or Craft: Alchemy?

The other one I wanted to ask about is Battlefield Surgeon. (SRD link) As written it's tied to Zon-Kuthon, but you would be willing to hand-waive that, or let a follower of Sarenrae take it instead?

Thanks!

Player Q’s:
1. Develop a character concept using the criteria/questions below.
Lei-Lan Minh is Tian Cleric living in Oppara as a healer, herbalist, surgeon, and doctor.

2. Share how often you can post/contribute to the game. I don't want to put unrealistic expectations on the group, but I'd like to shoot for one post per day on weekdays. If we go faster, I'm down with that.
I should be able to post at least once daily, or more for short posts, like back-and-forth conversations.

3. Share how many other PBPs you're currently playing.
Playing in three games at the moment and not running any. I applied to another in addition to this one, but even if I do get accepted into both it won’t be any problem.

Character Q’s:
1. Pick a Class. All Paizo-created classes are acceptable.
Cleric with the Blossoming Light archetype.

2. How long has your character lived or been in Oppara? If they’re not from Oppara, where in Taldor do they live?
Lei-Lan has lived in Oppara for a little over ten years. She grew up in New Oppara and became very fascinated with Taldan culture, romanticising their stories and lifestyles. She got her chance to move to Oppara, invited by the Kastner family due to her talents with both divine and non-magical healing techniques.

3. How does your character make a living?
She is supported by the Kastner family (taking the Rising Star campaign trait, and the Family Ties drawback, meant to apply to the Kastners rather than her actual family). While they’re mostly interested in learning healing techniques from her, she does get to treat patients once in a while. When her presence isn’t needed she likes to volunteer in the poor areas of the city, or with fellow worshipers of Sarenrae.

4. What will your character contribute to the party in and out of battle?
She isn’t very adept at combat, but she can serve as a primary healer both during and after a battle. She’ll probably end up with a decent Diplomacy, and a good Sense Motive for social encounters. She’s also bringing a pretty high Survival skill to the table. Plus she’ll have her cleric spells; and enough healing options that she should be able to used her slots for something other than cures.

5. Mechanically where do you foresee your character going in the future? If you don't have a plan, that's ok, too!
I plan to take advantage of the psychic skill unlocks and the signature skill unlocks for Heal. She’s going to be a pretty weak character, but I really want to avoid boring, typical feats and pick up some of the weird ones. I’m kind of min-maxing the heal skill, and I think I’m going somewhere fun and unconventional with it. I’m still working on the crunch, but I’ll try to get a draft up soon.

6. (Optional) What is your character's backstory?
I’m going to be working on her crunch, and writing up a real backstory for her, but this is the gist of what I’m going for. Lei-Lan is a healer from Tian Xia brought to Oppara to share her foreign techniques with the Kastner family, which should fit well with the blurb about the family from the player’s guide. Growing up in New Oppara she was always interested in Taldan culture and stories, and came to Oppara with eagerness and wide-eyed excitement. The actual state of things didn’t exactly meet her expectations. She feels a lot of empathy for the less fortunate, and sincerely believes Taldan can become a much better place than it is.
