No Titan Fighters? Shame. They may be a bit suboptimal, but they have style. I would like to submit a Suli-Jann Titan Fighter. 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3) = 14-2=12

I have been wanting to play a Constructed Pugilist Brawler for a while, and I always felt that Strange Aeons would be a perfect fit for it. The character wakes up with no memory, but a strange certainty that this arm is not his arm.
Statblock:
Rogar Ironhand Male dwarf brawler (constructed pugilist) 1 (Pathfinder Player Companion: People of the Wastes 8, Pathfinder RPG Advanced Class Guide 23) LN Medium humanoid (dwarf) Init +1; Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +5 (+7 to notice unusual stonework) -------------------- Defense -------------------- AC 11, touch 11, flat-footed 10 (+1 Dex) hp 12 (1d10+2) Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +1; +2 vs. poison, spells, and spell-like abilities, +2 trait bonus vs. fear and emotion effects Defensive Abilities defensive training -------------------- Offense -------------------- Speed 20 ft.

Appearance: Rogar is large for a dwarf, and has dark skin with black hair and cropped short beard. His right arm has been replaced with a complicated-looking metal prosthetic. This construct limb appears to be mostly of dwarven manufacture, but with a few bizzare departures from the type, if one knows what to look for. Personality: He is gruff and taciturn, but not too much more than the average dwarf. He seems to have a greater interest in mechanical devices and crafted items than people History: His shorn beard suggests he may have been exiled from a traditionalist dwarven clan. Prominently etched upon his metal arm is the crossed picks symbol of Dranngvit, dwarven goddess of Debt, Vengeance, and Setting Things Right.
Extra: I am in US Mountain Time, but tend to post late at night. I am currently in 3 games
Sorry I didn’t get my submission ready in time, I got busy with work.
Have fun y’all!
I realized there is another brawler in the running, an earlier and arguably more enthusiastic submission than mine XD Instead, I'd like to try something very exotic. How would you feel about an Astomoi(Astomos?) Psychic? Background: Class:Psychic(Rapport discipline) Traits: Born under the Green Star(Regional, Castrovel), Desperate Focus, Sensitive Mind(AP) Memories: living in/near Sovyrian, on Castrovel. Working as a cook. Having psychic powers a little beyond the norm for her race. Personality: She is selfless, and derives great satisfaction from seeing close friends safe and happy. She likes to solve problems without violence. She would more prefer to gain a friend than destroy an enemy. Appearance: A gangly feminine silhouette with shoulder length hair. Like the majority of her people, she is comfortable with nudity, and tends to not wear anything without some immediate utility. Limits: Same as what most others are saying, in regards to sexual violence, etc. I believe if we all play with maturity and empathy, things will work out ok.
When I first read the Constructed Pugilist brawler archetype, it struck me as a neat idea for Strange Aeons. The character wakes up with no memory, and a metal arm that they are somehow certain isn't theirs. I have to rethink the race/background I had in mind to comply with your rules. How about a hobgoblin, with oriental background?
Strange Aeons I've always wanted to get in on this one
About Me: I've been playing PbP for a few years now. You can check out any of the games on my Campaigns Page. One I'm particularly enjoying is Hollow's Revolution I'm in MST, but my schedule is irregular(I don't know until Thursday what the next Sunday-Saturday will be like). I likely wouldn't be able to commit to a live chatroom game.
I'm back with my character submission! Selma Baker, Empiricist Investigator, Aspiring Bookworm:
Born to a family of bakers in the city of Tamran, she was a curious yet aimless child, until one fateful encounter with a bookwagon. She found several volumes on technical subjects, ranging from alchemical formulas to arcane theory to mechanical engineering. This sparked in her an obsession with anything complex and intricate. The next several years of her life saw her devouring any knowledge she came across. Eventually she put her knowledge into practice, becoming a general problem solver and Ms. Fixit for the community. She would tackle any problem or mystery, financial compensation being appreciated, but not her primary concern. Though she developed positive professional relationships with many people in town, she only really has one close personal friend, a young lady roughly the same age as herself named Arianell Klingeman. Her friend's recent collapse has hit her hard, and she has dropped all other projects to pursue helping her friend. --- She is a short and stocky girl, with brown eyes and short, bob-cut brown hair. She wears sturdy workman's clothing, with a set of reinforced leather armor for hazardous environments.

I’ve done pvp tournament like this before. It turned out well. Only hiccup was one player who vanished at the start of a battle. He asked the GM if he could spend some of his starting wealth on a half dozen goats. No hints as to why, he was really cryptic, like he had some kind of super clever plan. GM said ok. First round of battle, he positions the goats around the arena. Second round, the player stopped posting. Never found out what the goats were for. No clues in his character sheet either. Anyway, count me interested
I just googled around, and it seems that the rules were available free online until a year or two ago, when WotC cracked down. The books are available on DrivethruRPG.com and I suppose other places that sell fine Wizards of the Coast products. I'm not looking to purchase books right now. Maybe some other time

Though still how do I make a 'campaign' in the paizo site without throwing a public recruitment page out I’ve seen people put up a recruitment thread with [INVITE ONLY] or [Private] or something in the title
Here is the preliminary build and background for my Arcanist, Martel Wyvernjack: Spoiler:
Martel was born and raised in a sleepy little village somewhere. He never went to any arcane academy, but rather apprenticed at a young age with a reclusive old wizard who looked after the countryside where Martel's village lay. When he came of age, he set out to gain more worldly experience, and fell in with a band of adventurers. He seeks to gain power, mainly to protect the weak and innocent, and to one day return home and take over for the old wizard who trained him.

Here's Gark, Armored Hulk Barbarian: Gark:
Gark Male half-orc barbarian (armored hulk) 6 (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Combat 28) CN Medium humanoid (human, orc) Init +1; Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +10 -------------------- Defense -------------------- AC 21, touch 11, flat-footed 21 (+10 armor, +1 deflection) hp 54 (6d12+12) Fort +7, Ref +2 (+1 bonus vs. trample attacks), Will +3 Defensive Abilities orc ferocity -------------------- Offense -------------------- Speed 45 ft.

Guarded Life (6 hp) (Ex) If reduced below 0 hp, convert some damage to non-lethal and auto-stabilize. Improved Overrun You don't provoke attacks of opportunity when overrunning, and foe can't choose to avoid you. Indomitable Stance (Ex) +1 to Reflex vs. trample & to hit, dam, and AC vs. charging foe. Intimidating Glare (Ex) As a move action while raging, demoralize vs. adj foe with extended duration. Orc Blood Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race. Orc Ferocity (1/day) If brought below 0 Hp, can act as though disabled for 1 rd. Power Attack -2/+4 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage. Rage (22 rounds/day) (Ex) +4 Str, +4 Con, +2 to Will saves, -2 to AC when enraged. Raging Vitality +2 CON while raging, Rage does not end if you become unconscious. Resilience of Steel +2 (Ex) Gain bonus to AC vs. a foe's critical confirmation rolls. Strength Surge +6 (1/rage) (Ex) As an imm action, gain a bonus to one STR check, CMB or CMD. -------------------- "Found" as an infant and raised by mecenaries and brigands in the River Kingdoms, Gark has known no other life besides combat. He suspects that his parents(who he has no memory of) were killed by the first band that raised him, but he was sold and traded around too many times before he was old enough to think to ask questions about his past, and doesn't remember their name. The only thing he has is his name, whether that was given to him by his parents, or a later "family", he doesn't know. He was set free when he came of age, as slavery is banned in the River Kingdoms, and continued his life as a wandering mercenary and bandit. Recently, however, he has made too many enemies in the Kingdoms, and has moved north to the new Barony in the Stolen Lands, seeking employment. Gark is an independent minded half-orc. While he can follow orders and work with a team, he chafes under close supervision and micromanagement. He performs much better when given a longer leash, and freedom to accomplish goals in his own way. What about HP after 1st level? I just put sixes for now.
I have been playing RPGs since 2000 or so. I have played and GMed D&D mostly during that time, with a few other games sprinkled in. I'm available weekday evenings and almost always weekends as well. I live in US Mountain Time. Why do I NEED to play this game? Two words: Magma Pumps. Gobo Horde wrote:
That's very similar to how the map worked in early versions of DF
I have an idea for a mesmerist, a young inexperienced con-man from Caliphas that the Professor saved from being arrested, for what reason he doesn't know(Making Good on Promises trait). Just give me some time to write up a complete backstory. Also, when you said "Starting gold as standard for your class", did you mean roll or take average?
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 4) - 1 = 13
Yikes. I’ve got a charismatic barbarian orc character I’d like to revisit, but those numbers though
OK, here's the thing: I have a Half-orc fighter idea, but I'd need someone to be my butterfly. As in, someone to build a nimble combat character with the Butterfly's Sting feat. Then he would do terrible, terrible things with his mattock. We could build linked backstories and everything.
