Victorion with Janissa Sigrune-Fighter

And her Crunch should be all done unless I screwed up. I'll make her background a bit more flowery when I get around to it.

@Victorion: All of that is fine. There are several different character building options out there.

Thanks. I've been using the Pathbuilder App which allows me to map a character through their levels. It does however include information from (as far as I can tell) every sourcebook in existence so it's not always obvious if an option is 'legal'. Never mind that not all Feats or Traits are created equal to begin with and I could imagine that some are considered to be in bad taste so I'd rather keep checking back.

So I've given this a little thought and I'd like to keep it simple for starters and offer you a plain sword & board Fighter. I wanted her to be the smith's apprentice (or at least helper) but the smith mentioned in the document is the Barbarian mentor. Is that an issue? He could always complain that she's too even-tempered and clumsy while making her lug around heavy things with her 18 STR.

Edit: Here she is.

Note that I took the "Dual Talent" Alternate Race Trait to replace the Bonus Feat and Skillpoints with a +2 to a second stat (CON) but it's nothing that can't be undone.

Hey, so I'm coming at this from the other end, so to speak. I've been playing PBP games on and off forever but I'm still learning Pathfinder. If you're willing to drag a total noob around I'd love to tag along. Going over the mentors offered I'm just wondering if and how non-humans and non-Core Classes fit in the picture (though I'm currently looking at a plain old human anyway, possibly a Sorcerer, but I wouldn't be adverse to some of the non-Core classes which is why I'm asking).

Cheliax you say?

May I entice you?

A Place of Blood and iron

That's... probably far beyond my scope and ability at this point in time (and I'd strongly assume there's a bunch of stalwarts who'd do a better job at this than I ever could). I'll still throw something at you but since you're looking for one player only I'd probably feel bad if I ended up with the spot.

Excellent suggestions, especially getting an eventual character reviewed on the boards is a rocking idea I hadn't considered.

I'm currently considering a Barbarian simply because it gives me an excuse to not know a lot about the setting and then wait around for an entry level game.

Thanks.

It's a lot of help, thanks. I'll just hold my horses for now and work on some characters (if only it wasn't so hard to decide) while waiting for something entry level to pop up.

Hey there,

I'm relatively new here and looking to get my RP on. I'm just unsure how to go about it and from what I've seen the stickies aren't really helping with what I'm unsure on.

So I'm neither new to tabletop RPGs nor to Play by Post games (though mostly in a more narrative, freeform setting), but I'm admittedly pretty new to Pathfinder (I dabbled in 3E when it came out but that was a good while ago). I'll frankly admit I've never been a huge fan of D&D/D20 type games but I did buy the big Humble Bundle pack a couple months back and found myself sucked in by the world and the modularity of Pathfinder in comparison to 3E and I'm itching to play in that world. Especially Cheliax, believe it or not. I'm a sucker for people putting functioning 'Evil' countries in their settings (such as Ghelspad's Calastia).

Now my main exposure to D&D was AD&D 2nd Ed back in the day, so I'm really iffy on the whole Free/Swift/Move/Full Action system but I'll get the hang of that eventually. I just really feel like it'd be rude to just throw a character at someone looking for players and then be the bottleneck of the group as I'm coming to grips with those systems I'm not used to. So I'm just wondering how you'd usually go about this. Do people post games aimed at newer players? Are you expected to not show up around here before you have a good handle on the game? Do you just give fair warning that it might be rough going for a while there or do you just jump in?

How good of a grip on the game are people expected to have and what's a good way to go about joining one if you're brand new to the rules and probably not even cognizant of some of their finer points?

Bonus question: Characters. Does it help to have them created ahead of time? (And where do I start? I have like half a dozen Chelish characters in my head and equally as many Elves and then some others and they all want out!)
