Indeed!

Expressing an interest in this. I'll need to modify Vamir, but other than that, I'm more than happy to app him.

Also, hey, another Argent Voice! xD

I could go for the Gifted Mesmerist, possibly. But it's not something I'd be looking to do, necessarily.

I believe we are using Background Skills, as I asked that earlier. Montgomery Hall can confirm or deny this, though.

That's true! We might well not.

I mean, Amori is kind of highly motivated to get that far... freedom's a great desire for him.

Two humans, two half-elves, and a sylph walk into an abandoned settlement, hunting for gnolls...

Eh, I like my campaign trait - I'm not too fussed about mechanical superiority or inferiority.

I'm in GMT-5.

That's good. It's not my most detailed backstory ever, but I worked on it.

Happy Thanksgiving to those observing!

Amori, half-elven bard and would-be freed slave. I'm still debating getting an archetype, but I don't see many that appeal or seem appropriate for what I have in mind. I mean, I could go with Dawnflower Dervish, or the like, but it would mean he's more melee-oriented.

Good points, all. I can make a sorcerer if we're really lacking in arcane power, or can go with Arrowsong Minstrel, but I'm mostly just open to whatever works for the group.

Yup. I'm mostly content with my stats, I guess?

Yeah, I agree. Hm... taking a look at the campaign traits, I think my character will end up being a former slave, out to earn his freedom from bondage. That may mean he's somewhat less... active when it comes to talking to people in power?

We'll see.

I'm willing to be flexible as well. So, ultimately, do we want to overlap? Is overlap bad? Or should we each try our own separate things?

Diplomacy, Bluff, and Sense Motive, mostly. He's not very intimidating, just pretty friendly and willing to negotiate with a lot of folks. That said, Versatile Performance is a huge boon in that field, letting me replace certain skill bonuses with other bonuses.

I'm still debating on whether to take an archetype or not. Considering Arrowsong Minstrel, if we need extra boom, but not sure we will.

Oh, half-elf friends? I was thinking of making a bard... probably serving as the face and a ranged damage-dealer.

Interested. I'll look through the Player's Guide for ideas, but at the moment I'm thinking of a half-elven Avistani bard of some sort.

Are you planning on using traits/background skills?

Intrigued, definitely. I am not sure what I'll make yet, but I'm thinking of an Arrowsong Minstrel Elf Bard, but I'm not sure.

I'm not new to either PbP or Roleplaying in general, though I am not nearly as experienced as yourself, and am relatively new to the Paizo forums.

Right, that's the plan.

So I found an archetype that definitely appeals, but it might be somewhat controversial. I'd like to choose the Argent Voice Archetype, from the Adventurer's Guide.

Well, that's a relief. Still considering whether or not to change the celebrity to a different archetype - maybe diva - and how to spend the last two hundred gold. Other than that, though, Vamir is done.

EDIT: I do have a question on how you'd want to handle the Famous feature of the celebrity archetype - I was thinking it would only be effective in certain sections of Kintargo, at least until he got famous enough for it to cover the entire city. Would that be how you want it to work?

I read that as wanting a ranged focus, but I can see how it would be confusing...

Vamir Stareyes, a celebrity bard and natural face of the group. He's not done yet, but I've finished his backstory for now.

I'm interested. Thinking maybe a Forlorn elf bard of some description...

To answer some of the Misc. Questions, I'm in GMT-5, but I should be able to post almost any time, given my current state of life, save when I'm asleep. I'm not currently participating in any PbP games, though I have multiple experiences under my belt, including being on both sides of the GM screen.
