I have some interest. I could probably post twice a day on work days. My concern would be weekends and holidays. I am usually very busy with my family and could only post once a day (With the occasional missed day). Would that be a problem?
I'm still working on something. The concept I'm looking at is a Slayer who grew up on the streets doing what he had to do to survive. His survival skills is seen by the Tidewatch/Flame Seekers/Ember Council and he is convinced to work for the flame seekers and venture into the ruins outside the walls.
I am looking at the demonic corruption. I'm still working on the mechanics and the background to fit that, but that is the high level concept
Definitely interested. I do have have some questions on the world though. Is Cinderwake an island? I was thinking something of a ranger that hunts to bring in food but I'm thinking hunting isn't really an option in this world. If that's true, are animal companions a thing? I have this vision that if animals are near non-existent, an animal companion would be seen as food by most other residents.
I know I'm cutting it close but I had inspiration for my hell's vengeance character. If selected I will create an alias. Presenting Vitus Crus

Hells Vengence Questions:
1. What is your opinion of the Order of the Godclaws failure at Isger?
They are complete and utter failures. To not only be defeated by a group of Iomadean knights but then to have that defeat spawn the glorious reclamation, the order should be ashamed and what is left banished from the great nation of Cheliax
2. Where do you see yourself in the high echelons of Cheliax's tangled web of government?
At the bottom. As the child of Iomadae worshipers, I can see myself as one who shouldn't be trusted. However with work, I could see myself move to the top.
3. You have captured the loved one of a hero. What do you make them do in exchange for their safe return? Will you keep their word of feast on the tears of absilute sadness?
I make them bring me the heads of their compatriots. Of course I won't be at the location to meet for verification. I'll have a box left at the location where they are supposed to deliver the heads. And of course we all know what is in the box.
4. You are transporting a cartload of contraband in a public street when a pair of bored guards stop you talking about passage fees, potential fines and a requirement to search your cart. What do you do?
Largely depends. If I am at a point where I have earned rank and privlage, I would assert that rank and demand they applogise for disrespect they have shown me and allow me to go on my way. If it is at a point where I am a no name grunt, then I attempt to intimidate them into letting us pass without incident.
5. Someone powerful you fancy has invited you into their bedchambers. However there are many unpleasant rumors to the fate of their partners. What do you do?
I bed them. Rumors are just that and I am sure I could handle myself if the rumors turned out to be true. The lady I fancy would rue crossing me.
6. Your lifes nemesis is at your mercy. Give me your villain speech.
Successful villains do not give speeches. That is when the hero finds his way to escape and defeat you. You will not catch me monologuing or divulging my plans to the hero.
7. Without describing their job, name, or appearance tell me who your character is.
Vitus is arrogant and cocky. He is overconfident in his skills with a blade and is not afraid to charge straight into combat. His parents were devout Iomadae worshipers. However, when he was born a tiefling, they and the community turned their backs on him. He grew to hate Iomadae and her followers stood for. Vengenace against them is one of his primary motivators.
Id be interested in either. I played a little bit of HR but the game died early. I've never played HV but the thought of an evil campaign is interesting
Sorry, I really wanted to be able to make a submission, but I can't see any way to make the character background work and still fit with the timelines without doing a complete rewrite. Good luck to all who made submissions.
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I had a question. Are we allowed a feat that appears in the first players RotRL players guide and was later reprinted in Inner Sea World Guide. In particular, I'm talking about the Varissian Tattoo feat.
You seem to have missed my earlier posted questions.
Couple questions as I ponder a character
1) How long of a game are you planning?
2) How many people are you looking to accept? Are you looking for average party size or are you wanting to fill out all 15 slots?
1) How long of a game are you planning?
2) How many people are you looking to accept? Are you looking for average party size or are you wanting to fill out all 15 slots?
Quick note that Thassilonian Specialist is featured in the anniversary edition itself, so I'll allow it.
Any chance you can say where this is mentioned as being featured? I was curious if anything else was featured such as tattooed sorcerer as both archetypes were originally mentioned in the same place and both apply to Varissia.
One last question came to me as I was working on the character. Are background skills allowed? I'm going to assume no since that was released in Unchained, however, with the slower leveling the 2 extra skill points could be very useful.
I have a follow up question. The feat Varisian Tattoo originally appeared in the original rise of the runelords players guide and was later reprinted in Inner Sea World Guide and the Pathfinder Campaign Setting. Would this feat be allowed? I wouldn't ask except for it originally appeared with RotRL
I have a character I would like to submit, but I have a question on what is allowed. Would you allow Tattooed Sorcerer archetype? It comes from Inner Sea Magic which was released before the Anniversary edition and I don't think it was ever reprinted.
But the fact that we are probably getting them from a government contractor means bureaucratic nightmares and delays. But the supplier thinks they can get it to the base 2 weeks after the mission departs. It will then be another 2 weeks before the Receiving Inspector has a chance to inspect the package, another 2 weeks to resolve the discrepancy with the lot number on the packing slip, and another 2 weeks to move the package from the receiving dock to the end user. And if you are thinking of going to the receiving dock to get the package yourself, the labor union is going to file a grievance against you.
Along with everyone else, waiting for the actual build rules. My first inclination if it would be allowed would be to build a psychic who leans on the social skills and may be a strong interrogator. I feel psychic should be rooted strong enough in non-magic to work.
I'm working on something... Just not sure of the classes. I know I want something psychic. Right now I'm looking at occultist, witch, or spiritualist. I really want something thematic. Let me add a roll here in case I decide to do tiefling or aasimar.
1. HORSE HATE: Goblins excel at riding animals, but they don't quite get horses. In fact, their hatred of all things horse is matched only by their fear of horses, who tend to step on goblins who get too close.
2. DOG HATE: Although goblins raise horrible ratfaced creatures called (creatively enough) goblin dogs to use as mounts, and ride wolves or worgs if
they can get them-goblins are quick to explain that wolves are NOT dogs-their hatred of plain old dogs nearly matches their hatred of horses. The feeling is mutual. If your dog's barking at the woodpile for no reason, chances are he smells a frightened goblin hiding in there somewhere.
3. GOBLINS RAID JUNKYARDS: Garbage pits, gutters, sewers-anywhere there's garbage, you can bet goblins are nearby. Goblins are weirdly adept at crafting weapons and armor from refuse, and are fond of killing people with what they throw away.
4. GOBLINS LOVE TO SING: Unfortunately, as catchy as their lyrics can be, goblin songs tend to be a bit too creepy and disturbing to catch on in polite society.
5. THEY'RE SNEAKY: An excited or angry goblin is a noisy, chattering, toothy menace, but even then, he can drop into an unsettling silence in a heartbeat. This, matched with their diminutive size, makes goblins unnervingly adept at hiding in places you'd never expect: stacks of firewood, rain barrels, under logs, under chicken coops , in ovens....
6. THEY'RE A LITTLE CRAZY: The fact that goblins think of things like ovens as good hiding places reveals much about their inability to think plans through to the most likely outcome. That, and they tend to be easily distracted, particularly by shiny things and animals smaller than them that might make good eating.
7. THEY'RE VORACIOUS: Given enough supplies, a goblin generally takes nearly a dozen meals a day. Most goblin tribes don't have enough supplies to accommodate such ravenous appetites, which is why the little menaces are so prone to going on raids.
8. THEY LIKE FIRE: Burning things is one of the great goblin pastimes, although they're generally pretty careful about lighting fires in their own lairs, especially since goblins tend to live in large tangled thistle patches and sleep in beds of dried leaves and grass. But give a goblin a torch and someone else's home and you've got trouble.
9. THEY GET STUCK EASILY: Goblins have wiry frames but wide heads. They live in cramped warrens. Sometimes too cramped.
10. GOBLINS BELIEVE WRITING STEALS YOUR SOUL: The walls of goblin lairs and the ruins of towns goblins have raided are littered with pictures of their exploits. They never use writing, though. That's not lucky. Writing steals words out of your head. You can't get them back.
I would definitely be interested. I agree with above posters, the chose AP would make me think of what monster to play. I don't know a lot about it but Hell's vengeance pops in mind as its an evil campaign. Way of the Wicked could work also depending on the monsters being played
I have wanted to play this one since it came out but never had the chance. I already have a character for it, I would just have to adjust him for your build requirements.
I'm definitely interested. I played a little bit of RotRL converted to 2E. It was definitely fun. The weekday posts wouldn't be a problem. I can struggle posting on weekends
I'm going to submit Syeira, Tattooed Sage Sorcerer for this. If selected I will create the proper profile.

Background:
Syeira was raised in the small town of Nybor. As for where she was born she doesn’t know. Her parents tell her one day when she was very young, perhaps no more than three, she wandered into their town covered in dirt, grime, and obviously malnourished. When they tried to question her as to where her family was, what happened to her, or even what her name was, Syeira responded with nothing but silence. Not sure what else to do, Syeira’s parents took her in and raised her as their own.
This is the story Syeira believes and she has no reason to doubt it. Her first memories are of living in Nybor. She has no memory of being found or what drove her from where ever it was before. Syeira loved her childhood she was always running and rough housing with the other children, even besting some of the larger boys who thought she couldn’t keep up with them because she was a girl.
As Syeira began to mature, she began to develop affinities for magic. At first, it was small things like being able to move small objects with her mind. Syeira took delight in this ability and would use it constantly to prank her friends and parents. When her parents realized that Syeira had latent magical ability, they sent her to train with the town wizard, Vesk.
While Syeira enjoyed learning about magic and how to use it, she hated the rigidness and structure of the instruction. At the same time her magical aptitude began to develop, a strong wanderlust began to also develop within her. Constantly during her instruction from Vesk, she would be caught staring out at the wilderness daydreaming. As soon as she was dismissed for the day, Syeira would go running through the nearby woods. She always felt as if she was searching for something but could never figure out what she was looking.
This wanderlust feeling continued to grow with age. Finally at the approximate age of seventeen Syeira decided to leave her small town. She packed a small bag; said tearful goodbyes to her parents, friends, and even Vesk; and set off down the road. Syeira didn’t really have a destination in mind when she left but her travels led her a different small town (though bigger than her home) of Sandpoint.
Upon arriving at Sandpoint, Syeira had grown bored of the loneliness of the open road and decided to stay for awhile. Wanting to be at the center of the town’s gossip and going ons, Syeira found herself seeking employment at the Rusty Dragon. Upon entering the establishment, Syeira immediately went searching for the owner, Ameiko. When asking for employment, Ameiko gave Syeira a once over. Believing Syeira to be too frail for the job, Ameiko asked, ”Why should I hire you?”
Before Syeira could answer, a fight broke out between two adventurers at the bar. Ameiko sighed in contempt and started to turn to deal with it when Syeira just smiled and put her hand up to stop her. Syeira then began to utter a few words and wave her hands. A swirl of colors washed over the two combatants before they fell to the floor unconscious. A third inebriated man, seeing what Syeira did to his compatriots, rushed at Syeira. Syeira quickly stepped out of his way before punching him in the face, causing him to fall unconscious with his friends. Syeira turned back to Ameiko with a grin while shaking out her hand. ”That’s why you should hire me.” Ameiko did nothing but smirk and toss her an apron.
That was five years ago and Syeira has flourished in Sandpoint. She is loved at the Rusty Dragon for her outgoing and friendly nature, often inserting herself in the middle of conversation with many a customer. Her favorite time of year is approaching with the Swallowtail Festival. Though things always get busier at the Rusty Dragon at this time, all the new people in town and stories to hear excite her.
Appearance and Personality:
Syeira stands at 5'8" and has a slight build. She has long flowing jet black hair and piercing blue eyes. She has a very outgoing personality, loving to be with people. Syeira is very competitive and will often try to turn the most innocuous thing into a competition. Even though she is outgoing, Syeira has a thirst for knowledge of any kind and will go out seeking it.
Build Projection:
As should be fairly obvious, I am going for a glass cannon blaster sorceress. I am human and will be taking the alternate racial favored class ability, so I should have some decent utility like a wizard.
I swear I read the school entry three times. I don't know how I missed that last line. I'll add a new spell.
I have clothing. It's listed on sheet two right above the spell book. As for the other 3 bulk, it's on sheet 4. The longbow, longsword, and 30 arrows.
As for the character sheet, I usually list it in my alias (See Timo Zoci in my aliases as an example). I just don't currently have a good template. As soon as I do I'll transition the Syeira alias to this new character.

She is loved at the Rusty Dragon for her outgoing and friendly nature, often inserting herself in the middle of conversation with many a customer. She has a standing challenge at the Inn to anyone that wants to attempt beat her a test of strength. (So far she has a twenty-two and three record). Her favorite time of year is approaching with the Swallowtail Festival. Though things always get busier at the Rusty Dragon at this time, all the new people in town and stories to hear excite her.
Appearance and Personality:
Syeira stands at 5'8" and has a slight build as typical for an elf. She has long flowing jet black hair and piercing blue eyes. She has a very outgoing personality, loving to be with people. Syeira is very competitive and will often try to turn the most innocuous thing into a competition. Even though she is outgoing, Syeira has a thirst for knowledge of any kind and will go out seeking it.
Role and Other Info:
I see Syeira mainly as a damage dealer role with a bit of controller role. At the moment, I foresee myself playing her kind of as a Magus as she has the strength to wield weapons. At level 2 I see her taking either the Paladin dedication or the Fighter dedication to gain armor training and further weapon skills. Syeira took the Evoker school. At this moment I see her focusing her spells at blasts as well as spells that boost her combat with dashes of battlefield control (ala color spray). You’ll notice I said “At the moment” and “I foresee” a lot. That is because I believe that a character evolves as you play the game and what you think the character’s path is can change at a moment’s notice, particularly once the player gets a true feel for the character.
Finally, my in for a penny, in for a pound moment (I didn’t really know how to incorporate that phrase). An interesting moment in Syeira’s backstory would be her initial encounter with Ameiko. In looking for employment, Syeira got the job by breaking up a bar fight.
Is there a particular format you'd like character stat blocks in? I have one I've used in my profiles for 1e characters. I can probably adapt it to 2e or I can do a link to the 2e character sheet pdf.
We could also try taking him alive (with nonlethal damage)) if anyone else wants to try- or if we just want to honor our “call off the golem and we might spare you,” which Daidalos wouldn’t mind.
I want to point I was very specific with the wording I used. I said listen to the man and HE might spare you. I said nothing about the rest of the group
I'm interested. What are the character creation reason. The link points to a blank campaign info tab. Should I assume the same as the first page of recruitment?
