Male Halfling Monk(Underfoot Adept/Martial Artist) 1

Hello everyone. I think this is going to be a fun game.

1d20 ⇒ 11


ok i hope im doing this right for my halfling fist

4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 3) = 15 12
4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 3) = 18 15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 1) = 11 10 dropping this one
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 4) = 17 15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 4) = 12 11
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 2) = 18 16
4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 4) = 17 14

so adjusted for racial modifiers as a halfling here is his character sheet. i hope mythweavers is ok.

Fists Character sheet


Name: Fist. I never had a surname but I will claim one when I do something worthy of a name.

Race: Halfling
Class: Monk (underfoot adept, martial artist) / Barbarian (brutal pugilist)
Alignment: Chaotic Good. I enjoy helping people in need but I wont be beholden to laws that make me a slave.
Description: I stand 3 ft. 3 in. tall, and weigh 38 lbs. My skin is tan colored and crisscrossed with several dozen scars I earned while I fought in the arena and during my tenure as a slave. I have an extremely honed body and my muscles are my most notable trait. I have green eyes and short brown hair that I tie into a knot or a pony tail if it gets to long. I like to keep mobile so I tend to wear only the lightest of armors and clothes that are form fitting so they don't get in the way during fights and show off my muscles which im proud of. My posture is normally relaxed and loose, if I'm angry its tense and ridged like a snake about to strike.
Personality: I'm adventurous and enjoy life and being free however my time as a slave has left me with serious anger issues and a bit of a Napoleon complex. If someone needs my help ill gladly do what I can to aid them, I enjoy being helpful to the little guys. That being said I do tend to get extraordinarily violent when facing my enemy or protecting my friends. I eagerly go out of my way to try new things and experience life as I feel I have a lot to make up for. I sometimes frighten those I'm with when a situation comes up that brings out my vengeful violent side.
History: I adventure because I want to experience new things, prove the might of my race, and kill those who would enslave me or others.
Quirk: I respond to insults with violence. Being disregarded due to my height or race or insinuating im not a skilled combatant will trigger the same response.

More History: I was born a slave. Being shipped around from Cheliax to Razmir, I was sold off as a novelty, a halfling arena fighter. I was meant to be a joke, something for the crowd to laugh at before I got slaughtered. Then to everyone’s surprise I killed my first opponent and the second and the third. It was then my new owner decided to hire professionals to train me in combat. Before he could schedule me into a new fight I used the training he paid for and killed him before making my escape. I now explore the world making up for the time I lost when I had no freedom.
Quote: “I do NOT have anger issues. Its simply solve my problems with violence.”

here is my application

Spookra, goblin exile from the licktoad tribe.

traits: color thief(goblin), stowaway, armor expert.
drawback: Paranoid.

Spookra was run out of his clan for being to smart. at least that's his opinion of the situation. working as a sneak for hire for humans pays well but not many humans like goblins as a rule and often try to kill them on sight so spookra has understandably grown to be a little jumpy. the last town he was in found out about him and tried to run him out of town. stowing away on a ship leaving the port was the best idea he had all day. now all he has to do is steal some breakfast before he starves on this boat.

id be up for this. i have a goblin shadowdancer id love to put into a game.


ok here is the character im offering up. Fist, the Halfling. Fist is an ex slave from chelax and he was used as a novelty pit fighter and brawler by his owners. 1 level barbarian and 1 level martial artist/underfoot adept he will eventually take levels in halfling opportunist. he specializes in tripping opponents. he is a pure phisical build. he will be taking the traits outlander: exile and Iron Liver. Fist is eager to explore the world and try new things he was denied as a slave. he has quite a temper but it only flares up when people think hes weak due to his race or if anything involving slavery happens.

does this character fit well for you?


hello i have a quick question. would you be ok with a character being a neutral good goblin whos an exile from the licktoad tribe. (the goblin tribe right outside of sandpoint) i want to try and play a character who wants to prove that not every goblin out their is a homicidal fire throwing idiot. XD he would be a rouge that eventually becomes a shadowdancer.


Race: Goblin
Class: Rogue- to change to shadowdancer at level 6
level: 2
name: Spookra

brief backstory: down on his luck goblin thief. sold out and betrayed by the last 2 groups hes been with. its left him more than a little paranoid but once you become his friend hes a fun chaotic good guy to be around, great at parties.(he likes to sing and make up funny songs) Being exceptionally good at being sneaky also means he can get himself plenty of work when the operative needs to remain unseen.

Color Thief (goblin)
Armor Expert

Drawbacks
Oppressive Expectations
Paranoid

new traits from drawbacks
Bouncy (Goblin)
Rude Songs (Goblin)

Still a bit rough as I get a feel for them.

At a quick glance, I'm digging the kitsune more out of the two. Lots of nice incidental personal connections to things that are likely to come up here and there.

i have one more question. its about weapon proficiency. if we find an eastern weapon like throwing stars and katanas can we train with it in game and become proficient with it instead of having to use a feat to use a new eastern sword?

That's a tricky one there, so I reserve the right to flip-flop after some more thought but...

I vaguely recall the AP saying at some point that a fair number of weapons that show up that are close enough to apply relatively similar proficiencies. Katanas for instance are close enough to bastard swords that if you have the ability to wield one one-handed, you can wield the other the same way (two-handed, both count as just martial).

Most of what I recall turning up as noteworthy magic weapons to be acquired in this AP trend towards being at least as weird as a spiked chain that anyone would need to specifically blow a feat to use them without penalty. The weird edge cases that jump to mind would be wakizashi, tetsubo, and shuriken. There... I'm pretty inclined to reclassify the first two as martial (short one sided blade, metal studded club), but... super cheap disposable throwing weapons with no real handle may actually require a feat to use without penalty.

dont worry a dm has the right to be flip floppy when its needed X3 id enjoy having my goblin practice with stranger weapons and eventually learn to get the hang of them if he comes across any cool ones like a butterfly sword or shuriken or tonfas or Kusarigama or Wakizashi.


i have one more question. its about weapon proficiency. if we find an eastern weapon like throwing stars and katanas can we train with it in game and become proficient with it instead of having to use a feat to use a new eastern sword?


quick question here. this game will be a play by post game correct?

Spookra was one of the goblin heros (my goblin hero anyway) from the we be goblins module. We can go over just what happened and what put spookra in the position hes in now, however it needs to be for your campaign.

"Spookra is very sneaky and spookra is also smart. spookra also know it is very smart to be sneaky about being smart."


quick question. as far as traits go if i were to play as my goblin character none of the traits listed in the players guide would really fit him. could i choose this goblin racial trait instead?

Color Thief (Goblin)
Your skin is an odd tint that somehow absorbs background colors. Maybe because your mother drank a lot of potions when you were still inside her belly. Maybe because you’ve been blessed by the barghests. Maybe because you’re just better than the other boring goblins.

Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Stealth checks, providing you wear only light armor or no armor.


that works for me X3 and the licktoad chieftain does need to be taken down a peg or two. hehehe i can even see the chieftain or his buddy slorb selling me out or stabbing me in the back. i dont think id need that much motivation to join the party.


would you be cool with a goblin rouge who would eventually become a shadowdancer? i used him in the we be goblins campaign that was before this and id love the chance to play him again. hes a sneaky chaotic good type he dosnt have the evil streak of his fellow goblins and is a lot more sociable.


hello i have a Halfling brawler build that ive been eager to try. i would very much like to join your campaign. his name is Fist. formaly little bloody fist. hes an escaped halfling slave who was constantly thrown into pit fights and arena type things. would he fit for your game?


Would you be interested in a Halfling brawler who's an escaped slave/arena fighter who worships the god of freedom and adventure?


Bresann Inmondeep (Sorcerer, Serpentine Bloodline)

Hailing from the desert wastes of Osirion, Bresann Inmondeep was the pampered and well-off son

of a noble house whose small merchant empire dealt in fine luxury goods, from spices to fine silks,

that were exported all over the Inner Sea. Bresann was a somewhat isolated child in a society where

the wealth and status of a household was of paramount importance. However, scandal dogged the

Inmondeep household, as it was whispered that one of the family's ancestors had the blood of a serpent

in their veins. The other wealthy houses looked upon the Inmondeeps with suspicion, and after a

bungled shipment to Korvosa went downhill, the resulting scandal (combined with the lost wealth from

Korvosan taxes and levies) left the merchant family in a rocky position. Old blood and even older

vendettas were bared, and after a grudge duel left both Bresann's father and a wealthy nobleman dead,

the vestiges of justice in the society of Orisian nobility hunted for a scapegoat.

That scapegoat was found in the form of Bresann, whose status as the oldest male child of the

household placed him in line for immediate succession to his father's substantial fortune. Bresann was

summarily banished from the borders of Osirion, launching him upon a lifetime of wandering and

searching for the truth. Hearing that the Pathfinder Society consisted of seekers of truth and

explorers as well, he immediately sought them out, hoping to find both more about the ancient

serpentine cultures that swam in his blood, as well as enough coin to help clear his name in his

homeland.


one thing that you can do to make things a little interesting is have some unexpected side effects of actualy sucedding XD

say your players in fact do manage to kill all the evil kobolds in the keep. then when their looking for loot they come across the kobolds egg nest. and guess who just hatched right in front of the players.

this is a fun little thing that ive seen a dm do before. and keep in mind these things.
1. its a newborn baby. INNOCENT. characters who kill this arnt just dipping their toes into the evil pool they are wadding in hip deep.
2. the baby will asign one of the player characters the title of MOTHER. (picking which one can be a fun rollplaying bit)
3. what are they to do with it? leave it alone to die? take it to an orphanage? raise it themselves? so many possibilitys.

hehehe in the campaign i saw, the character who was the surogate mother protected and raised his "Daughter" and she quickly grew to be part of the family. she became a non combat npc who was kinda the teams mascot who cooked and tended to the camp while the PC's went and did dangerous stuff.

at one point the dm had her kidnapped by something and WOW i had never seen the whole team rally around rescue and seek out vengance so hard XD they were attached to her XD
