I'd be happy to help as well. In addition, I have a very decent amount of system mastery, so I can assist with power level testing. A little warning though, I offer constructive feedback. As such it will not be sugar coated (not mean, mind you, just direct) . I will bluntly tell you successes and failures. And, should you desire, possible remedies to the pitfalls. If you desire a more fragile approach, I am probably not the right person. I look forward to hearing from you (OP).
Backstory:
Slate's birth is a subject of inconclusive debate. He doesn't remember and no one else seems to know. He was taken in my a nice farmer couple, Hilda and Sven. They raised him to be an honest and good man. It worked.
You see, Slate looks like a demon all over, save for his earth colored skin. This caused a lot of problems for the Helgen family, but they ignored their neighbors and happily lived their simple lives on their farm. Slate, once he became an adult, got a wanderlust. Without any arguments Helga and Sven gave him the things he would need and let him go, quietly hoping that he'd come back someday. Slate wandered for a while. After receiving not a very warm welcome at the first town he came to, he decided to stay away from them. He was tough of body and mind and the earth itself seem, not only to call to him, but answer his calls to it. Finally he found the Bountiful Venture Company. The company selected him for the second wave of colonists because of his great resolve and unswerving dedication to what he set his mind upon. minor crunch:
Level 4 Tiefling Kineticist (Earth) I know nothing about this AP aside from there being a decent amount of water. I'm a part of 5 active bp games and a few more that are pretty much inactive.
This is my first time creating a tristalt character, and I'm not very familiar with EDV. Is 126... problematic? Like, I need to make major adjustments problematic?EDV also looks to be, uh, a bit high. I'm seeing 126 ish unless my math is wrong. That's blue at 15th, and better than green at 20th.I am curious where your giant dodge bonus to AC comes from, Also your AC is 1 highter than Level 17 Blue on bench pressing. I specifically reduced some of my earlier choices to get my AC and saves to where they are at. EDV is a statistical representation of how much damage you deal per turn. At 126, you kill creatures of CR 9 or lower in 1 turn and CR 16 or lower in 2 turns. The EDV doesn't factor into the metal ability damage you deal which could incapacitate almost any creature regardless of CR. Your AC is at a point where rarely anything of appropriate CR will hit you. In summary,
Disclaimer: This was intended with no malice, merely bluntness.
A series of facts. Facts:
*Dr. Craven travelled to Hyraeatan for the ease at which he could find a multitude of reagents. *Dr. Craven and Bash are essentially different people that share a body. *Bash like fight and break things. *Bash not like people mess with head *Dr. Craven 'created' their situation when he was researching creating a philosopher's stone. The thing for which he was imprisoned. (Turns out people are a bit sensitive about mass murder for the sake of science.) *The 'philosopher's stone' (my minor artifact) has replaced their heart. Visible on Dr. Craven, not visible on Bash. *Dr. Craven knows the Countess, Bash hates her. the Philo Stone: Behaves as Pouldrons of the Juggernaut but only when Bash is out and during transformations. Also gives the Bash form unkillable as an 18th level Vigilante. The stone is destroyed upon either of their deaths.
So yeah back to the drawing board. Want to be strong but in line with everyone.That's tricky even in normal games. In ones like this keeping everyone near-ish the same power level is insanely difficult. I would agree however, with the bench press as a guide, it makes it a lot easier. The harder part I think is for optimizers like myself to choose the non optimized choices.
Is Thicket just a smaller Forest, or is Forest just a larger Thicket? I had a hard time trying to decide between a (with permission) tree singer druid, plant master hunter, or wood kineticist. The previous two would have a sapling treant companion.

Thicket no longer remembers its long past. From its creation by Ghorus, through its travel to Fangwood forest, up until the attack by the Ironfang Legion. It just remembers waking up in the Fangwood and living there. It tends to the trees and stays a little away from town.

Do you have a specific format that you'd like to see these submissions? Also, for everyone's knowledge, I will be submitting a fairly 'Hulk'-y character. I'm going for a bit of an evil version and running with that. Also, GM, can a slight variation of Pouldrons of the Juggernaut be acceptable for a minor artifact?
Allowance Question for the GM: Body Bludgeon normally requires lvl 10 Barbarian, can I pick it up at 8? After reading through it several times it doesn't seem overly powerful for lower levels. Text: Body Bludgeon (Ex) (Ultimate Combat pg. 26): While raging, if the barbarian pins an opponent that is smaller than her, she can then use that opponent as a two-handed improvised weapon that deals 1d8 points of bludgeoning damage, assuming the opponent is sized Small. Larger or smaller creatures used as a bludgeon deal damage based on their size using this base damage. A size Tiny creature deals 1d6 points of damage, a size Medium creature deals 1d10 points of damage, and so on. The barbarian can make a single attack using the pinned opponent as part of the action she uses to maintain the grapple, using her highest attack bonus. Whenever the barbarian hits using the pinned opponent as a weapon, she deals damage to her target normally, and the grappled opponent used as a bludgeon also takes the same damage she dealt to the target. If the pinned opponent is unable to resist being pinned for any reason, the barbarian can use that opponent as an improvised weapon without grappling or pinning the opponent, until the creature is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, at which point the creature becomes useless as an improvised weapon. A barbarian must be at least 10th level before selecting this rage power.

Oneiromancy(Su)] - As a standard action, you can tamper with the minds of sleeping creatures. You plant a subconscious thought in a sleeping creature’s mind by attempting a Diplomacy or Intimidate check to modify the sleeping creature’s attitude or request a service from it. If you succeed, when the creature wakes it behaves in the way you dictated with the normal restrictions for the Diplomacy or Intimidate skill. The target of oneiromancy remains unaware of this manipulation, though if you fail your Diplomacy check the subject might have its starting attitude toward you negatively impacted, as normal. You must be adjacent to the sleeping creature to use this ability. Alternatively, you can use this ability as part of the casting of dream, minor dreamARG, or nightmare. In this case, the oneiromancy effect takes place when the spell is cast. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. Creatures that don’t dream are immune to this effect.
After considering how I would continue his backstory, I think it more prudent to ask the GM first, how far into this (which will turn into a bit of a Dr Who -esk) story will this occur? I was going to have him deal with his current setting, a more modern setting, and a future setting (Starfinder ish) before ending up in/next to the Rose and Bee. Therefore, in my timeline for Aevus, he will start the adventure in a more personally experienced mindset.
Prologue:
The library was dark. Silence permeated the spaces that the books did not fill. A stuffy air sat almost motionless in this area. Almost motionless because the hint of a light flickered in a forgotten corner of this building. In this corner a robed human man hunched over a parchment on which he furiously scribbled. He was surrounded by walls of stacked books. His eyes jetted from the parchment to an open book, to another open book, to about three more open books, and back. The candle, that lighted this frantically studious process, was at the end of the wick. With a last little flicker it went out.
"Gods damn!" the human man curses, "Why do I even bother?..." His voice trailed off as one hand gwent instinctually for a pouch at his side and his other began contorting into different positions. He then also began speaking an ancient language to link the power of his three actions, "tenebrae visus". The man, contented, sat back down and began scribbling once more. A couple hours, and several parchments, later the scribbling stopped and he stood up violently with one parchment in hand, "YES! THIS IS IT!" he exclaimed while looking around, as if expecting some sort of celebration. Muted by the lack of others, he frantically dug in his side pouch and pulled out a pinch of sand. He then began making contorting gestures with his other hand and happily shouted "traveho aevus!". He then disappeared... Chapter 1 (unfinished): After what felt like both an eternity and a second to the man, he opened his eyes in a space where he floated(?). A space filled with light but empty of anything. He couldn't move, or more specifically moving did nothing. He did however feel an overwhelming presence. It was indescribable. He knew something was there and yet could perceive nothing. And then, an instant later, he felt an emotion coupled with an idea. Amused curiosity and that he didn't belong here. And, just as quickly, he was now in a city street.
He looked around, confused. Where was he? He wracked his brain for several minutes, but could not identify where he was. He quickly dismissed that dilemma because, he thought, it didn't matter. He would just cast the spell again and confront that presence.
