Hello All! We currently have a group of 3 experienced players that are looking to game on Sundays. All 3 of us are able to DM but we would also be completely fine with someone else that wanted to as well. We use 3.5 and Pathfinder worlds to play in. We are a very laid back group that just want to have fun while being challenged. Flavor and creativity are what we pride ourselves on. We are looking for a few more people to be able to play with on Sundays because it's just way more fun with a group of people. It doesn't matter if you are a "super epic experience level of woah" or just someone that is looking to play. We try to make things challenging while keeping it fun and just enjoy to be able to lay back, play a good game, and throw some dice around the table... we don't wear safety goggles either. Yeah, we're that wild.

Hate to necro this post but I have a group of 3 that are looking for more people to play with every Sunday. All of us can GM and we can do 3.5 and Pathfinder.

I forgot to mention it also has cold touch (1d6 touch or add 1d6 cold to melee weapon) and immunity to cold as well just like the beasty Shae... I still feel like i might remove one of these two... I don't know

I always focus on letting a new player create the character they want to play. You want to hook them on the game, so let them play their favorite character type. I would steer a player from there toward something that was easier to play, but first and foremost I want to excite the player's imagination.

I agree with the lady wearing the crown. And it seems like you have a decently balanced party so you would be fine with her picking any class she might find fun.

I do also agree that a Flame Elemental bloodline sorcerer would be a great compliment. I say flame because let's be honest, if you don't enjoy senseless immolation there is just no joy in your life.

That doesn't look like a Shae at all, to me, racially.

Did you use the Advance Race Guide's Race Builder? (It doesn't look like the race builder is there.)

Not-really-edit: Here it is. You might want to take a look at that, if you haven't. If you have, I'd love a breakdown (I'm too busy to break it down myself at this point, but I might later).

Otherwise, as Beopere notes, you might want to use the basic monster advancement rules.

It looks like a fine, if exceedingly powerful race at first glance, though, if not a Shae.

Racially on the beasty stats it should have had "amorphous" and "lesser shadow evocation" too, on top of +10 stealth,blur, dark/low-light vision but that was just WAY too overpowered. I added the low light sensitivity because it was still a little powerful with removing those beasty traits

I didn't use the race builder, I only looked at the stats kind of gauged where they were compared to the level and brainstormed with a GM friend to come up with the +4/+2/-4

I wanted something a little powered because I want to throw a bunch of higher CR monsters and make the 3 of my players almost die and keep them on the edge of their seats so I built this "Shae Rogue Shade" to help keep them alive while also making them feel like they could possibly die. Obviously I don't want to kill them but my group loves intense fights.

Why not just put class levels on a shae? As they are in the bestiary (with or without elite array) they make terrifying Kensai Magi.

I wanted to make it a 10th level and have 8 levels of rogue and I am also going to bring in the Shade template from forgotten realms which I'm going to count for two levels because of what it adds. I wanted to make it a Finesse Elven Curve Blade, vital strike, shadow jumpin' B.A.

I am transporting my players (unwillingly) to the Shadow Plane so they can run for their lives and try to survive. It's funny because one of my players is an Aasimar that sprouts bright wings every time he is in combat, effectively making him a giant target.

Anyways I needed a higher level Shae so I went ahead and homebrewed them into a playable race. I would be curious what you think of my race stat block.

SHAE
+4 Dex, +2 Int, -4 Wis
Medium
Base Speed- 30ft
Dark Vision and Low-light Vision
Light Sensitivity
Spell Like Ability- Blur (constant)
Affinity to Shadows- +10 to stealth in areas of Dim Light or Darker

There are currently 3 of us that play together every Sunday and random nights throughout the week when we are all free.

We all take turns running games for fun, some homemade and some adventure paths.

We are looking for some more players to have fun gaming with. Flavor is definitely welcome and thinking outside the box is something we like to pride ourselves on. We try to keep gaming interesting and challenging and if you can come up with a houserule that makes sense we will not shoot you down.
