-Maglevdude: Patchy the Pirate (Human Swashbuckler) - Complete (notes: Missing feat. Please separate out background skills. Please list cost and weights of equipment, also appears well short of the 3000gp starting money.)
Could you please clarify what you mean by separating out my background skills.
Whoops, I did not realize I had left out Patchys race. Patchy is a human swashbuckler.
Complete 10 Minute Background:
Five things about Patchy
1. He's may not be the smartest person in the room, be he tries to be the most charismatic.
2. He fully believes in SpongeBob as a god, and is angered when people say he is not.
3. He thinks that being charismatic can hide his lack of intelligence or wisdom.
4. He once had a crew and a ship, but he annoyed them with sea shanties and they mutinied.
5. Polly is a real bird that speaks to him, no matter what anybody else says.
Two goals:
1.) He hopes to gather enough followers, that he can officially open the church of bob.
2.) He wants to meet another person that can hear Polly.
Two secrets:
1.)Patchy was not in fact ship wrecked on the island, but instead when his crew mutinied they left him there.
2.)Polly is inhabited by a demon, and he is using Patchy to create an army.
Three relationships for Patchy:
1.)Polly the stuffed parrot who is his best friend.
2.)Garoth his old first mate/leader of the mutineers. Patchy hired him because he seemed like a good pirate, it turns out he was too good.
3.)Leopold was the captain of the ship that rescued Patchy, and he became fast friends with Patchy. Leopold spreads word of the church of bob wherever he travels.
Peter A.K.A Patchy was not always the smartest person in the room, and this sometimes got him into trouble; For instance when he sailed ship into a deserted island on a bright and sunny day. It’s okay though because that is where he found Polly a stuffed parrot who told him about the true god of the sea SpongeBob.
After being rescued by a passing schooner a few days later he decided to travel with Polly, who is now his best friend, from town to town proclaiming the word of bob.

Rp Sample:
Patchy confidently strides to the table nearest the front center of the room, and steps on top of it. Ahoy my name is Captain Patchy and this is my best friend Polly. He says pointing to the stuffed parrot on his shoulder. I have come to this town hall today to spread the word of bob our lord and savior. If any of you would like to discuss why this religion is truly for you, I will be standing right here. In the meantime perhaps if we all sing the prayer of bob, he will protect our town from this threat. Patchy promptly starts to sing the SpongeBob theme song.
Petian hears Tulle call and replies, right before commencing with another attack from his dagger We're trying here, mate! You just make sure that those bloody horses do not run us off a cliff! attack:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 damage:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
I have chosen to add the extra +1hp to my character, so now Petian has a total health of 12. I have also gone and created an alias for him on Paizo.
You can find it here.
Looks like an interesting post to help with all the blocks on this sheet.
On the skills I still think there are two things that need adjusted. DM can speak up if I'm incorrect.
The online reference lists:
"Step 4—Pick Skills and Select Feats: Determine the number of skill ranks possessed by your character, based on his class and Intelligence modifier (and any other bonuses, such as the bonus received by humans). Then spend these ranks on skills, but remember that you cannot have more ranks than your level in any one skill (for a starting character, this is usually one). After skills, determine how many feats your character receives, based on his class and level, and select them from those presented in Feats."
The first thing I notice here is that you get to select the number of skills equal to your class and intelligence modifier. So for you that should be 8. 1 for being human, 8 for being a rogue and -1 for your INT modifier. So I believe you can only add 8 skill ranks as a lvl 1 character. It looks like on your character sheet you have 28 skill ranks added. I think the confusing bit for me was that just because I have a class skill in climbing doesn't mean I have a class rank in it. But when I do add a class rank to it I get a score of 4. Does that make sense?
The other thing in that reference is the reference on the max skill rank. Do you know where you read that it is related to your hit dice?
Once again I owe you thanks Michael,
I got 28 skills because according to the source "Each class gets a certain number of skill points per level, modified by Intelligence, and four times this number at 1st-level."; However this is not what the core rule book says at all.
I found the reference to the max skills on page 86 of the core rule book. I think my best bet at this point is to just use the core rule book and not my other reference, from this point forward.
Here is the link to my updated character:
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=734849
In the spirit of understanding the game more myself I was looking at your character sheet. I noticed you had skills that were quite high (12 in acrobatics). My understanding is that you cannot rank a skill higher than your current level. See in the skills area on the upper right it tells you what your max rank is.
I also am unsure of where the miscellaneous modifier is coming from. It looks like you may have intended to give your class skills a +3, but the character sheet already does that when you select the skill as a character class.
Hope that is constructive, let me know if I misunderstood the rulebook and feel free to let me know if you see anything off on my character sheet.
Thanks for the heads up Michael,
I was using this page to help me build my character and it never mentioned anything about a max ranks. Upon your advice I looked it up in the rule book, and that max number is not based off of current level but number of hit dies a character has.
I also did not realize the digital sheet auto included the +3 bonus for a class skill. All told I really appreciate the help, and you will be seeing a revised sheet very shortly.
And right, don't forget your favored class bonus, which also gives you either a valuable +1hp, or in some builds equally valuable +1sp. Have to pick one or the other.
As far as I'm concerned, you don't need to roll your height/weight, but you can of course if you prefer to.
Maglevdude, I think haramaki is just one type of armor, so you would have to choose whether you get the stats from the padded *or* the haramaki -- they don't combine.
Ok thanks Samy,
I have made the appropriate corrections to my sheet. I believe Petian is now complete, do I need to make an alias or will the online character sheet suffice?
Here is the character sheet for my character Petian Runehouse. At the moment I have placed the Haramaki in the shield slot because I could not find any other armor spot.
I am definitely interested, do you think you could run the campaign with 7 players? I played a little pathfinder a couple years ago, and I am very excited to start playing again.
GM Redelia,I have been accepted into another campaign, so I formally take back my request to join your party. I appreciate the chance to join though.
Hello Sammy, I hope I am not too late to join up. My name's Daniel and I am a relative newbie to pathfinder. I played about two sessions a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed. I am completely new to the play by post format, so I may need some help with this format.
