So sorry for your loss.
Hope she's doing better! Best wishes to you and your family!
I can work with that... hopefully it's not too late to apply. Pre-crafting with scribe scroll possible? I have a bit of coin left over.

Dot for interest... a good undead/horror setting always gets my interest.
Doting for interest
I’ve never played Jade Reagent and this sounds like a blast! I am thinking about an Aasimar Scaled Fist Monk/Eldritch Scion Magus. Let me see if I can put together an interesting background and character concept.

As leinathan mentioned above, we've paired up for an Azlanti submission. Without rehashing what he laid out previously here is: a bit more:
My character: a female spirit guide oracle of lore, a war veteran against the serpentfolk who has laid down her arms, a tinkerer and crafter of machines and clockworks, a spirit that has returned to her disabled body following a summoning ritual gone awry. Our Character Relationship: We have vastly different views on ethics and alignment but we share the common purpose to uncover the political corruption. Bit More on Background: While she came from a long line of wizards, Araqíel's heart lay with Amaznen. Dedicated to the god of magic, she answered his call as a holy warrior fighting for the Azlanti empire against Ydersius and her serpentfolk. She felt that Amaznen was calling her to his service. She was gravely injured in battle, and during her recovery, her dreams were filled disturbing images and visions of Azlanti lore and the corruption lay deep within it. Riddled with these visions that she could not reconcile, she sought refuge within the dual-faith church of Acavna and Amaznen, laying down her arms and armor. There at the temple, the visions became more frequent and detailed. Among them were plans and designs of machines. These inventions became a reoccurring part of her dreams. She felt that the mysteries revealed to her were instructions from Amaznen. She had always been inquisitive, and tinkered with contraptions as a child. It was commonplace for her parents to let her play with their designs and their research. So, she endeavored to piece it together and discover what it would reveal to her. Araqíel began to construct something from these images. She filled journals with her notes and thoughts, describing the visions that she had beheld. But before she could assemble it, she was attacked and killed by the agents of the aboleths. Araqíel has been reincarnated nearly a dozen times. The visions she sees and the voices that accompany them are her own past lives. Each life has ended with her assassination at the hands of the aboleths. This time, however, she was summoned, prior to reincarnating, by leinathan’s character who had picked up on the trail that Araqíel had first started. The ceremony was disrupted. Their two souls inexplicably linked and inseparable. What I'm Looking for as a Player: I'm looking for an immersive game with a good amount of roleplaying and dialogue. I'd like to strike a good balance between intrigue and tactical encounters. Thematically, I want to explore the difficulties of of adhering to your beliefs despite society’s disapproval and the direct interference by opposing forces, some of whom you considered allies. I'd like to be unsure of who to trust and who to defeat. I'd like to experience the bitter sweetness of sticking to your principles when the easier option is offered. Let us know if you want more detailed backgrounds or stat blocks. Thank you!
Thank you regarding scribe scroll. I hadn’t yet considered any game mechanics that represented the ‘spirit made corporeal’ idea as I’m still just trying to determine the basics of the character build; namely, what class?! If you have any suggestions regarding mechanics, I’d love to hear them.
- No to: Leadership, Mounts, Crafting feats. Does this include Scribe Scroll?
Dotting for interest.
Very interested. Couple questions: 1. Is combat stamina available? 2. You've added Power Attack, Combat Expertise and Deadly Aim... this is similar to the added combat feats in the Elephant rules, except Agile Maneuvers and Weapon Finesse. Is that included, or needed to be taken?
Haven't played this AP. I'm thinking a diviner. Couple of quick questions. Will there be time for any crafting, specifically scrolls?
Color me interested.
I've been accepted into another game. So, I'll withdraw as I don't want to be spread too thin and you have many great applications. Have fun all!
I've been going round and round for several days with my build, but her character concept and background has been worked out. I've built her as a 1st level character, but have no problem taking a quirk and starting at 2nd level if the group wants to do that. It looks like most people built their character as level 1, so I did that as well. Eÿliana is a 1st level rogue that will split to wizard 2nd-4th level. At 5th level, she'll start down the Arcane Trickster prestige class. She'll only miss one level of spellcasting, and can operate in a number of roles. She'll have plenty of knowledge skills and plenty of rogue skills. She'll focus on scribing scrolls when possible to give her more versatility. While she is inherently a good person, her life's experience as damaged her significantly. She won't be the groups moral compass, but rather an anti-hero within the group. She is well versed in the stories of the Temple of Elemental Evil as it had a significant role in her mother's tragic life (see background below). I have her listed as chaotic neutral, but she will 'play' well with the group as her goals should align with theirs although her methods may be questionable. Background:
Eÿliana's mother, Malynn, was the youngest daughter of the former Viscount of Verbobonc, Wilfrick. A headstrong young wizard, Malynn fought against the terrors that first surfaced when the Temple of Elemental Evil was constructed, much to her father's dismay. She was thought to have perished when the bodies of her escorts from Verbobonc were found in the Gnarley forest. The following spring, she was found near death clutching the body of dead elf. Marlynn was rushed to the Temple of Iomedae in Hommlet, but she died during the journey. Grieving, Wilfrick demanded the priestesses of Iomedae resurrect the young girl. Unbeknownst to all of them, Malynn was two months pregnant when she died, and the dead child still lay in her womb. When she was subsequently resurrected, the child was revived as well. Not wanting the scandal of the noble woman having fathered a child out of wedlock, Eÿliana's birth was kept secret and the child was raised in the temple. Malynn never spoke of the father and would not reveal the dead elf's name to anyone. She grew melancholy and depressed being separated from her child whom she only saw once a year. After 10 years of depression and isolation, Malynn took her own life. Eÿliana struggled the next several years, having lost her mother who had secretly confided much to her young daughter. The weight of her mother's secrets was more than the child could bear, and she withdrew from the priestesses that had raised her. She showed bouts of violence and unruliness. Then at the age of fourteen, she left the Temple and was not seen again. Eÿliana returned to Verbobonc and lived on the streets for a time until she was taken in by a thieves' guild within the city. Bound to the guild, she developed her roguish skills but wished to free herself from the indentured status of a child thief. In the midst of a drunken night, a high ranking rogue within the guild challenged the young Eÿliana to steal something of note from the Viscount. Two days later, Eÿliana returned and unfurled the flag of the Viscount, stolen from his castle. She had her freedom again.
Personality:
Eÿliana has had a truly disturbing childhood. She has seen and felt death, and she does not fear it. She trusts no one and suspects everyone. She can appear happy at times, but that is just a mask she wears. She is solemn and angry. Her life was taken away and then little returned to her. She never knew her father, and she only knew a mother who mourned her love's death. Malynn spent little time with Eÿliana as she only saw the young girl's father when she looked into Eÿliana's eyes. She now has to bear the burden of her mother's secrets. She wishes to see the death of all those that have brought this pain upon her. She does have some happy memories of her early childhood in the Temple, but they also remind her of what she has lost. She is fearless but her moral compass has been lost. As to the noble family in Verbobonc, she is angry at them for abandoning her, but does not wish to kill them. She wants them to suffer as she did, but would weep at their pain. She's truly conflicted and confused. Statistics:

This would definitely be of interest. I'm thinking of a Swashbuckler with the Inspired Blade and Noble Fencer archetypes. She's the eldest child of a well-respected yet minor nobleman. She's charged with the managing the family's vineyards and winery to the north of Oppara. Bringing her family's newest vintage to the Exaltation Gala, she has proudly presented the wine to the nobles to rave reviews. She's the charismatic leader of her families generation, but as a woman unable to gain her father's titles and lands. Unfortunately, her younger brother has shown little ability to manage any of the families estates. Leading slothful and self-entitled lives, the inept heir to the family could cause the downfall of the family. She is very much in favor of the new laws and hopeful to ensure their passage and continued relevance in Taldor. She's helpful in a fight with her rapier, and quite useful in social settings with skill points in bluff, diplomacy and intimidate. She'll probably go straight swashbuckler, but may throw in a level of magus or rogue for some other utility. I'm in the US, CST time zone and tend to post 1-2/day on the weekdays, mainly once mid-morning with a possible 2nd post in the afternoon. I've been playing PBP for 5-6 years here. I'm GMing a couple games at the moment, but not playing any on these boards at the moment.
Prefer Pathfinder as well.
Been out of town on vacation. If I'm not too late...
I'm flying most of tomorrow, but will see if I can get a crunch done and a backstory written before the deadline.
I’ve always wanted to play in a darksun campaign! This looks very interesting. Let’s see what I can come up with...
Dotting for interest.
Level 17:
Level 1:
I apologize for being a late-comer to this recruitment thread. I've been following it since you first posted it and couldn't make up my mind what type of character to offer up. My character concept is a ratfolk unchained rogue. His name is Wuldric von Hamelin. He is one of the 130 children that disappeared from the town of Hamelin in Lower Saxony on St. John and Paul's day, June 26, 1284. The children were led from the town by the Pied Piper never to be seen again. Depending of your interpretation of the story as it applies to your campaign, the Pied Piper was could have been the personification of Death, a pagan cleric who led them to an accidental death in the forests near Coppenbrügge, or sold/bartered to a "landlord" trying to recolonize Transylvania following the mongol invasions. Wuldric's background presupposes the first... namely that Death, one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse was the culprit. Wuldric and the other children remained in the afterlife for the next 60 years before being shepherded back to earth, as the Black Plague, by another horseman, Pestilence... the Antichrist. It was during this voyage across the otherworld to return to earth that Wuldric hid himself and was spared being part of the rat hoard that introduced the plague. He spent the next 90 years years alone in hell although his memory of the experience has been severely repressed. In 1340, three years ago he managed to finally escape and returned to earth as a 13 year old ratfolk. For three years, he has survived on the streets of [insert city] his only possession a grimoire he stole from the depths of hell. So, I'm thinking he could be in either starting city. He will either take 4 levels of rogue with the eldritch scoundrel archetype, then go Arcane Trickster... or he will go 1 level of rogue then 3 levels of wizard before going Arcane Trickster. The first route makes him more melee focused with some good flexibility. He'll be the equivalent of a magus as a caster with 3/4 BAB. The second route makes him a full caster with only 1 level lost to rogue. So, more finger wiggling and less melee. If selected, which route he takes will depend upon the party make up. I've started his crunch assuming he takes the eldritch scoundrel archetype. Here it is currently, but I will be finishing it up in the next day or so. Crunch: Wuldric von Hamelin

Regrettably, I'm going to withdraw my submission. Another game of mine that was dormant has revived, and I think my plate is full at this time. As with many recruitments, you have a great group of candidates, and I'm sure this campaign will be fantastic. Best of luck everyone!
Scribing additional spells into a spellbook prior to the start will require scribing cost plus the borrowed spellbook fee, accounting for paying the former master or a fellow apprentice for access. All normal rules regarding the spells apply and the spell must be either 0 or 1st level only. The spells so scribed need to be notated, as I will require the appropriate check rolls if the character is accepted into the final group. Acceptable? Sounds good. Thanks
I've decided on an female admixture wizard named Ashëra Fæsalor. She is built to be a well-rounded caster. Although she is an evoker, her focus with that school will be spells requiring a touch or ranged touch attack with the admixture giving her plenty of flexibility to deal with many adversaries. From a feat perspective, she will be focused on the illusion school, especially shadow spells. Stat Block from Herolab Output:

My current thought is to multi class into rogue for 1 level almost immediately. This will pick her up some class skills, sneak attack, reflex saves, and light armor proficiency. By level 4, she'll be Wizard3/Rogue1 with +2d6 sneak attack and will move into arcane trickster. She will only be losing 1 spellcasting level which should keep her at a pretty competent level. Theoretically, she'll still have the ability to progress and get 9th level spells. She'll be decent ranged attacker with snowball and scorching ray, and she'll be very versatile with her illusion focus as I plan on getting into Shadow Conjuration, Shadow Evocation, Shadow Enchantment... etc. She'll have lots of skills points and can stealth and disable devices as needed. Personality:
Ashëra is very quiet and reserved. She is quite confident in herself and her skills, but she looks to avoid the attention of people she doesn't know. She is an above average beauty in elven terms, tends to dress in such away to downplay her looks. She is friendly when approached, but is cautious to trust. She has a rebellious streak that has been quashed by her now deceased mentor. The seeds of her mischievous youth is beginning to reemerge. Questions: 1. Can I scribe additional spells into my spellbook before the campaign starts?
My only problem with this archetype is that is references a 3rd party feat I cannot look up. Since I do not know what that feat does I cannot fairly judge its power. Fair enough. I wasn't able to find much on that feat as well. Let me see if I can come up with another concept.
Will there be time between adventures for any crafting? And is there time for pre-game crafting? I'm only thinking scrolls for a wizard given the level 1 start.
Big DOT for Greyhawk. It's been over 30 years since I played a campaign here, although I did play in a short-lived PBP campaign for 2 pages last year. I'll definitely put a submission together, probably a wizard.
Interest campaign... I'm thinking of a crafting wizard who supplies minor magical items to the watch guard. He's a resent graduate of the Arcanamirium college that has taken up residency in Mivon and now has been pressed into field work. However, he is a bit skittish at the idea. He'd take the Arcanamirium Crafter specialization school. With approval, I'd like him to take Echo Bonded arch-type. It basically gives him an arcane bond with a wand that functions similar to a witch's familiar. In that, his spells are learned by the wand.
Very interested in this AP! I'll be submitting an elven unchained rogue, named Jÿstra Eldithas. Her father was a long time resident of Phaendar, having retired there following an illustrious career in a traveling carnival as an animal trainer. Jÿstra never knew her mother and her father never spoke of her. She had once asked the venerable elf about it, but her father just smiled and a tear ran down his cheek. She never asked again. He passed away nearly 20 years ago, but the few friendships that Jÿstra made in the small town kept her there. Jÿstra lived off the earth for many years after her father's passing. She became reclusive and avoided going into town very often. She spent most of her days moving about the forests that surround the town. She is much more comfortable with the birds and animals, than she is with social interaction. She came upon a hatchling snark one day and it has been her constant companion since then. Over the years she developed a deep father/daughter relationship with Arikalis, an elderly wizard who lived deep in the forest. The pair were gathering their wears for the Market Festival when the attack occurred. Jÿstra survived the initial onslaught, but Arikalis died in her arms. With his last breath he handed her a tarnished old ring and asked her forgiveness. Jÿstra weeped and asked the old man to what he was referring. He had never harmed her and had nothing to be forgiven. But the words remained on his lips as his spirit crossed over to the next life. She still holds his bloodstained spellbook and component pouch in her backpack. Having lost two "fathers", Jÿstra is emotionally scarred and has a fragile ego. She may be weepy one moment and hostile the next. She is good hearted and kind, but quite awkward. She trusts slowly and cries most nights before she sleeps. I would intend to take wizard for levels 2-4 and enter the Arcane Trickster prestige class at level 5.

Definitely a dot! I'm thinking a dex based brawler focused on dirty fighting. Any chance you'd implement the Feat Tax rules?
Build PM'ed for Grumroid Hammerbrow -> Dwarven Fighter headed toward Eldritch Knight
Rolls: Holy Carp! A Negative 2 point buy! Never seen something so horrific! It'd almost be fun to attempt it. Let's try again.
Ok...7 point buy... getting better.
There we go. Third times a charm with a 41 point buy! Let's see what I can come up with.
My submission: Mÿsari Wryazorwyn, Female Human Incanter. She is focused on ice & water, having the destruction and nature spheres. Additionally, she has the divination and protection spheres. Background:
Mysari is young varasian woman who lives with her mother and father along the coast just north of Sandpoint. Her father is a fisherman who owns several small fishing boats. As a young girl, Mÿsari was lost at sea during a violent storm. Hearing the father's voice over the thunderous sounds of the storm, Gozreh answered his pleas for help and touched the young girl granting her insight into the wonders of the sea. Through her own force of will, Mÿsari lifted herself out of the ocean to safety.
The stories of the young girl who was touched by the seas has now faded into lore. Mÿsari has traveled far to the north, to the Land of the Linnorm Kings where she discovered her destructive power of ice. Sailing back home, she heard of the disturbances of goblins in Sandpoint and came to see what aid she could offer. She is kind and charming socially but quite protective of family and those she calls friends. When angered, she shows no mercy and often is surprised by her own wrath. Mÿsari is of average heigh with a slender build. She has long brown hair and bright blue eyes. She wears loose fitting dresses with many layers. She loves to wear jewelry and is vain to a fault.

Not sure how I missed this one… But let’s see, rise of the runelords and spears of power? Count me in for a submission.
27 point buy. Very respectable start array. I’m thinking either a human or a half-orc Incanter. Although I might go a sorcerer sphere caster. I’ll try to work up a build and background by tomorrow morning. Hope that’s not too late to get considered
Below is a link to my submission:
Thâdænn is a Gold Dwarf Sorcerer with the draconic bloodline. He is a gregarious, affluent dwarf who comes from a prominent, wealthy family in East Rift. He has spent much of his life savings tracing the origins of a family legend back to the Ten Towns. He had intended on studying the arcane arts, but had found it necessary to vindicate his great-great-grandfather's reputation as a dragonslayer before resuming his studies. Presently, he has self-discovered some innate magical talents along his journey. However, believing them to be part of his studies to become a wizard, he does not yet realize the true-nature of his draconic bloodline powers.
Just read up on the Gold Dwarves too. They would work great! I'll work up my character today.
I'm thinking of a dwarven sorcerer that goes with the dragon disciple prestige class. Obviously, charisma is creating the difficulties with this build. I could go Empyreal to switch out Charisma for Wisdom, but that means I'm forced to go Crossblooded/Wildblooded further limiting his known spells. Would you be willing to house rule the human favored class bonus for a dwarf? Honestly, the dwarven favored class bonus is terrible ("Add +½ to acid and earth spell or spell-like ability damage.") I'd much prefer to grab an extra known spell. My first thought was to give him a large dwarven double war axe and make him a melee Dragon Disciple, but more I think about it, I think a full caster Dragon Disc will be much more interesting to play.... so, spells are at a premium.
This sounds interesting.
Dotting for interest. I have an Oracle/Sorcerer gestalt concept I've been toying with but haven't found the right campaign for it.
Super interested in this! I’m considering a Shadow Oracle/Lore Warden Fighter/Unchained Rogue.
Dotting. Thinking of going straight fighter, probably a half-orc wielding a bastard sword.
This sounds like a lot of fun. I'm a big fan of home-brew campaigns and the premise here is quite interesting. I have an idea for an old-aged gnome dual-cursed shadow oracle that I played all of 2 pages in a home-brew campaign on these boards before the GM vanished. I think that character would do well here. The previous GM allowed to rule variations for me, that I'd submit for your consideration. 1. The favored class bonus for gnome oracles is useless for this character. I'd love to be able to have the human oracle FCB if possible: +1 known spell. 2. By going dual cursed, I lose the Shadow mystery bonus spells: Blurred movement (2nd), invisibility (4th), and deeper darkness (6th). While Deeper Darkness is on the Oracle spell list, Blurred Movement and Invisibility are not. So, I couldn't select them as one of my known spells. I'd ask that those two spells be placed on my spell list, so I could select them with the appropriate known spell slots at a later time. His backstory is that he was once an infamous slaver plying his trade all over the inner sea region. A wealthy client in Cheliax became desirous of the gnome's young servant-boy, a fletching that the gnome had raised since he was found upon the material plane as an infant. Always seeking a way to profit, the gnome sold the fletching to his clients for a significant price. The fletching child was subsequently tortured and killed. Returning to the gnome as an incorporeal haunt, the fletching has driven the gnome partially mad. Traumatized by the experience, the gnome went into self-exile for a number of years only recently returning to the slave trade. However, he is now opposed to slavery and has infiltrated the ship using his former reputation to gain the ship's slavers favor.
Happily will take those rolls! |
