Backstory:
Debbie Cleaver is a stay at home mother of three. Her loving husband, Bill of seventeen years has gifted her with three wonderful children. The Oldest Lilah, the middle child Bill Jr. And the youngest Mary Beth. They have a house in the suburbs with a mostly built fence and dog named Chuck. Debbie's life might have its moments of modern chaos, but its for the most part controlled and happy. But Debbie has a wee bit of a past. When she hit puberty, her abilities to grow in size and strength surfaced. An already tumultuous time in a young persons life would prove even more vexing to her. Raised primarily by her hapless controlling single father, Debbie grew up resenting her distant disapproving mother and was further distressed to learn that she was related to the Greek figure Antaeus, who reportedly battled the legendary Hercules. Seeing as this "curse" was also a gift from her mothers side, her teenage angst knew no bounds. She had little direction and no responsibility, so her powers became a dirty secret she'd flaunt when stressed. This resulted in her having a couple run ins with the law even a member of the JLA, who frowned upon her destruction of public property and other petty crimes. This moment inspired her to appreciate her abilities for the gifts they were. She went to school for a degree in languages, which she had always had a fondness for. Eventually dreaming to work in an embassy in some exotic beautiful country.But the surprise of her first child spurned her and her boyfriend to marry and for her to juggle schooling for a few years before dropping out, two credits short. Three children and a mortgage later, Deborah's life has seemingly found its chaotic stride and her powers only manifesting in occasional exasperated outbursts. But a longing has recently formed in the back of her mind; a desire to be more than just a mom and address the fear of wasting her potential of her abilities like she did with her college career. He feels a tug to aid others and do good because it's the right thing to do but even more, to resolve her own doubts and fears(and add a little excitement to her life). She has been recently sneaking out at night on some fake errand to sloppily stop criminals she happens upon by using a fraction of her power. Her more negative personality traits:

Quick question, I'm wanting my character's growth power to be dependent upon them standing on the ground as it connects to a character of mythology. Although her growth doesn't end immediately upon her leaving the ground but fades for as long as she isn't standing on it. How would you guys suggest I go about this? Yes it would work on other planets, no it would not work in space, yes she could cheat. If she used extra effort with the dirt idea. The concept is that the character is an ancestor of the half giant Antaeus, a famous foe of Hercules and son of Gaea . He was near invincible and vey powerful but only when he had a connection to the earth. Hercules killed and defeated him by tying him to a tree limb, hanging above the ground.

If I go legacy, i was thinking it would be Swamp Thing. A new Guardian of the Green. If original character, then it would be a growth character based off of the myth of Antaeus. Hopefully these could work for you! I'm glad you chose 2nd E. I just can't jump on that 3rd E train after so many games in my comfort zone.
Dotting. I'm so pumped that recruitment opened up! This game looks so exciting. I saw that you weren't fond of gunslingers but is the Bolt Ace archetype acceptable?
I know that occult adventures are acceptable resources but I was curious if cult master archetype mesmerist was okay to take? Would you like to hear the concept before deciding?It's fine by me. Though I'd like to hear the concept just to hear the concept. It sounds like you have something interesting in mind. Sure and I hope you find it interesting, either way I'm open to changing and reinterpreting it to fit your devastated world. The Peacock Spirit is a figure of mystery and rumor in most academic circles but their legend spans back to the empire of Thassilon. Supposedly several orders and cults still exist in modern day Golarion but with the rise of Karzoug, I thought it would be interesting if a demagogue related to this dead god was brought to the forefront of this apocalyptic conflict. The character would either be or believe they are, the reborn embodiment of the peacock spirit in mortal form , exemplifying the mind, body and spirit. Though LE in alignment they would seek to spring forth from the ashes and become a dominant power once more, playing from behind the scenes pulling strings. Whether the ultimate goal is to usurp Karzoug or ally with him has yet to be determined. I would come up with Tennants and ideologies grounded in theology according to that era in Golarion but mix in concepts from Yezidic, Hindu, and Abrahamic mythology, with a little bit of Mad Max Fury Road deification. All of those sources have creative chaotic aspects to them which fits this time of change and destruction, especially with all these demigod status entities running around.The character will be on a slow crusade to collect followers, artifacts and information. After all, the word Apocalypse comes from Greek roots meaning "to uncover". I by no means intend on trying to dominate the course of the game or co-opt other players, I just enjoy that there's so much room to play with this deity, especially in such an interesting setting. Let me know if this is something you could get down with!
A.The penalties associated with trying to Grapple while already grappling? Whw don't count as being grappled when they use their hair. B. Sorry. It takes a standard to maintain unless you have greater Grapple which changes it to a move action. But there are no limits to how many times you can initiate different grapples as far as I've read, especially if you don't count as grappled and can initiate as a free action every time you hit via whw. So you can theoretically Grapple as many dudes as you hit then you have to let go by your turn, unless you spend actions trying to keep a max of two tied up. C. In most cases the bonuses only apply to trip, bull rush, etc when you're weilding a weapon with that feature. But according to Jason Buhlman, the DM can make a personal judgment if it seems reasonable.
To what are you referring right here? Character advancement? You mentioned that the shambling Mound would have an inability to cast spells as a Druid and I assumed that was due to its low wisdom. While he would be 7th level equivalent, that would leave ten character levels to add on. As per the character advancement rules, characters gain a single ability score point starting at fourth level and at every level there after. That would give him a wisdom of twelve. Adding the effects of magic items he could benefit from an even higher score and allowing him plenty of spell casting.
@ Faceless GM That's totally fair. As a character, I figured it would serve a role in the group similar to Navi(Zelda) but with actual goals and personality. The concept of the fey creatures lost in a world of darkness, trying to find purpose, is interesting to me. But I can absolute understand if you want to go more traditional. Whatever character I submit will hopefully have a lengthy and rich backstory broken up into vital scenes in the characters life, including before and after the fall of Golarion.
Cool! I'm glad you're okay with it and its no problem. I could add my two points at fourth and eighth plus items via gold. I also just wanted to check if the race of lyrakien was acceptable. I'm just covering my options. :3
Barring that, I'd also love to submit Lyrakien character.Let me know your thoughts!
So I made a character for this game but I just had the idea of readjusting an old one that could fit really well into this one shot due in some part to Monsters with class levels being allowed. @ GM Choon How would you feel about me submitting an intelligent Shambling Mound? Edit Specifically the variant "Greensward" Shambling Mound with the "Gommunion with the green". This coupled with Druid would emulate a Swamp Thing style character.
Ok, grace is needed with such a sudden closing. I understand your perspective (been there). Welcome to the running. :)Dangit! I was just finishing up my character! I didn't think it was necessary because I was so close. Gaaah. A chance is all I need. You're A king! A mensch! Naming my first kid after ya, though I think "GM Choon" might be a little unweildly, ahh she/he'll deal.
Dangit! I was just finishing up my character! I didn't think it was necessary because I was so close. Gaaah. I had to step away due to an emergency. I will offer up a first born for a chance.
You run in here, ruin our selection of magic items, then abscond with our dignity?! No but seriously all the best, mate.
@ GM Miskatonic So I love the Half-Giant race. The detail is great and the mothers gift options are super nifty, but I'm conflicted. My build leans more toward dex based and I've dumped strength (as much as character creation guidelines allow) and those two +2 for humans is looking might sweet. My original draw towards half giant was the aspect of Powerful Build that allowed me to act as a size cat larger for maneuvers. Thoughts?
