Hey thanks for adding me but I've been accepted to another game that I've been looking forward to playing. I hope you guys have fun!


Submitting a mother-loving wizard. Background in the profile.


Admixture wizard here. Will be taking Numerian Archaeologist or Stargazer. Click through for backstory.


I'd recommend Pollux Wardroxan, Iranaset Maior, or Ilya Mxyzptlk if we're trying to put on our best faces here. I suppose I should mention I work at a software company and I may have to take an absence for a few days to a week around release time, but I'll announce it.


Went ahead and took the chance of writing the alien familiar into Leopaldon's background. It gave a more compelling motivation to go to Numeria than a piece of junk that wasn't working. I also broke his motivation out of his backstory to make room for the added bit about his familiar, t260g... Does anyone else find themselves wanting to write Numenera when they write Numeria?

Good luck to all.

Edit: Nevermind my comment DM and everyone else, I was thinking this was the Reign Winter Adventure Path for a minute.

Thanks for the spoilers...

Guys, there's only 1 familiar, the other alien animals are animal companions. The familiar is a Petromin, described as: This sleek, furred creature has flaps of skin stretching between its limbs and its body. It gives it's master +3 stealth.

A sleek creature named after lube? That's only moderately clever but I'll take it. I could work that into Leo's backstory to go along with the Egg he found.


After toying with the idea of making a wizard that channels (yes, that's a thing now thanks to the ACG) I've decided to stick with Leopaldon as built. if selected it'll be fun to go Technomancer and use arcane battery to shoot fireballs without expending a spell slot. But that could be months or years down the line.

I agree with Jack. The moment I saw the Razmiran priest submitted I started pouring over my fluff again. I'd love to see some of the recent submissions get fleshed out more (I'm looking at YOU Alexa) and I don't envy Viskous right now. Which brings me back to a couple of questions I had that was lost in the heap:

@GM: Will campaign traits play a large role in the selecting process? And if you have the AP now, having seen the new familiars, are there any that you think would fit in for Leo? I've been holding off on committing to a familiar until I find out about the ones in the AP.


Even though I'm building to be a blaster in combat I'm actually looking to be an item creator outside of it. So if we both get in I already see some nice character hooks for us.

The party needs a primary healer.
Or you could play the manly man party of beat stuff up. 5 fighters, only gear at level 1 was a quarterstaff. We pooled the rest of our money together to purchase a wand of cure light wounds that we later realized our best chance at casting it was the pretty fighter with 14 charisma and no ranks in UMD.

That's an unfair comparison Carl, everyone knows pretty fighters never lose.

I'd love to be a quarterstaff wielding cleric of Nethys, though I'd want to ask the GM if I could take the Staff Magus's 10th level ability as a feat, or at least just the part about the magical quarterstaff, not the recharging bit.

EDIT: I decided against building a cleric, I'll just continue hoping Leopaldon gets in as a wizard. And go Raven for using dat hero array.


Alias created. Not too worried about doing so prematurely because I'm sure I'll hold onto this character even if I'm not selected.


I was thinking arcane trickster. Though I've since decided I'd rather go straight wizard. Will work on background over the weekend.


Dotting for interest. Will be submitting a Spellslinger or Siege Mage (this is the only AP where they might be a good choice thematically). I have a profile up that needs to be filled in. Will be done by the deadline. I also need your opinion on using SLAs to get into prestige classes. RAW it works out, but a lot of GMs have mixed feelings about it.
