I've uh... been gone from the pbp forums for like, a few years now. How's things going? Are you still recruiting for this game? I'd like to give it a shot if I can. It's been a long time so I kinda forgot how to format things at the moment... :/
I also received that email. So I believe either A: Someone at Amazon lied, or B: Someone at Amazon seriously screwed up. Either way, I agree that Paizo should try to get recompensed for this huge disruption of their business.
Thank you for being prompt and updating us as soon as you discovered the problem. I appreciate being informed of the issue and I doubly appreciate the credit, since this issue isn't something you could be held at fault for. I will try to download the PDF in the meantime and hope that my copy is one of the ones coming in on the 3rd. Fingers crossed.
Congratulations to the victors!
I FINALLY GOT MY GLASSES! I CAN SEE! I CAN GAME! Sorry for being a little late, GM Ragnarok. I really just now got them and am trying to bust this out before Midnight MY time... :/Okay. So answering questions first:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All right, on to finishing Pato's Background. Pato Bendo grew up with his parents on a Manollium-class herdship. His parents were relatively common botanists living among the 10,000 other Ithorians traveling the stars. While on the ship, they had Pato Bendo, who was an endearing type of child with a joy and gentleness for living beings and plantlife in general. However, his parents soon discovered that he was also connected to the force when they discovered him, still a pupa, restoring a small fern he had crushed when he was playing around. Pato Bendo further grew into his almost religious-like reverence for plant life and the force, but in the process felt further disconnected from his fellows in a social sense. After a few years of this, his parents discovered from a Meet (the pentannual meeting of herdships) of the presence of the New Jedi Academy and Luke's search for the Force-sensitive. They discussed it with their child and decided that even though Pato Bendo was just fine staying home and tending to his assignment of plants, that it would be better for him to grow up the rest of his youth with people who would understand him and feel what he's capable of feeling. Whether or not they understood what else there was to be faced in the academy, Pato Bendo might never know. Pato Bendo would be taking the next shuttle once their herdship reaches a nearby system.
Destiny: Rescue. Pato Bendo is a nurturing type and may save someone that no one else thinks needs saving. who it is, and what it takes to save them, is totally up to you to decide. Make it uncomfortable, if you want.
Still working on my character; my glasses got broken and I can't see very well right now, but I'm still quite interested. My new glasses are in tomorrow so I'll be able to focus on finishing the character background, destiny, etc after that.
I'm still working stuff out, making a few tweaks, and whatnot. Background I want to fit well, so I am definitely working with Phntm888 on timeline stuff.
@Phntm888, please take a look and tell me. I'll also pm you.
Awesome! Okay, so since I actually READ some of the jedi academy books and stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all goes down! :D This character's name is Pato Bendo, he's a young Ithorian who was sent by his parents for training. His parents are Jensaraai, actually. (I'm pretty sure this matches up to what little pre TFA canon I remember) He's a Force Prodigy and was stupidly strong in the force for his age, and being very naive, his parents worried he'd be vulnerable to fall to one extreme or the other of the force and decided that the jedi academy would give him a safer training to learn to better control his connection to the force. Currently, with what I feel is the right stat allotment, He has 5 force powers, his focus is on using Vital Transfer to heal others since he's very empathetic, so he has: Vital Transfer, Force Thrust, Move Object, Rebuke, and Negate Energy. His Talent is Force Flow, which fits well with his strong connection to the force. Also, I took Skill Focus (Use the Force) so I can actually have a good UTF roll to back up the "Strong but not experienced" vibe.
I'm thinking of making an ithorian force-sensitive botanist. Started training in the jedi arts out of a sense of reverence for his connection to the force. Probably build more towards the physical force powers like move object and stuff. I won't force choke someone, I'd relatively be a pacifist. (I.E. will fight in self-defense or in defense of an innocent.) I think I don't understand how the stat generation works (Even though I am IN a game with phntm888 too... :/ ) Do I just take 2 points off the overall cost of each stat (except 1 of them) or do I count the totals as if I bought them as 2 less than before? ... The point buy part of SWSE always confused me. Okay I think I got it. [EDIT] OKAY one last question. There was the Force Adept, which was renamed to Force Prodigy. I saw it on the web site that was provided by obsessivecompulsivewolf. I would really like to use that instead of Jedi, if possible. Is that okay? It's not the prestige class, like the technician, it was another class that didn't come out with the core book.
Should I feel bad that I'm in two of your games already? No, no I shouldn't. If we're doing jedi academy (I loved the video game, btw) I will whip up my character for this. I'MA GON MAKE ME AN ITHORIAN JEDI!
Okay, so I got inspired to try something... different? Even if you don't select my character, I would like people's thoughts on the build. For this, I just took the average hit points after first level, but if you wish me to roll I can do that.
Amelia is an olive-skinned woman with wavy, glossy, raven-colored hair and equally dark eyes. She wears her armor and tabard with pride. The shining mithral armor and royal purple silk tabard depicting a staff gives her an appearance of importance. Around her neck is a long purple scarf decorated with numerous whorls and Varisian symbols that somewhat obscures the bottom half of her face. The ends are tasseled and the edges trimmed in golden thread. It matches perfectly with her tabard and could be thought of as an odd extension.
Amelia belongs to the order of the staff, and as a musketeer, she rides no mount into battle, instead relying on swordplay and her trusty pistol to carry the day. Backstory-wise, she would have just recently left a group of mages that she had sworn to protect when the group decided that they were going to retire from exploring the ruins of Numeria to go over the findings. She had been given assurances that they'd hire her when they were ready again... but that could be a few years from then. So in the meantime, she's out of a cause or any work, and is low on funds, which will give her more incentive to consider adventuring with a group. She has a positive-minded personality, though she is not immune to moments of grief or sullen moods. She tends to hide it under the facade of being optimistic and hoping for the best. She doesn't possess any particular hatreds or dislike of specific races, though she will react with caution if she encounters something she hasn't ever met before, such as androids or other machine-like beings. Amelia views herself as a gun-toting knight errant, and finds compliments to the like pleasing. What makes Amelia helpful to the group on top of being a good ranged damage dealer is her cavalier abilities can be a great help to the party since they all have some (or will have some) form of spellcasting. Her challenge ability lets her knock down a big bad enemies saving throws, and her ability to share her teamwork feats with the party means she can amp up their concentration checks when things get crazy, and then more things when she gets higher level. She also has a banner and can use the banner to help resist fear and help the melee characters do their thing better. She is going to be relatively short ranged damage using a pistol, but she will be able to deal out regular damage using the gun. Basically she's not just good ranged damage, she's also party support. She has not yet taken the technologist feat, but her trait does help her a little bit in that regard. Perhaps later she'll take it, but she can be content to let others more skilled in those things handle the tech.

It's fine. Family life comes before gaming.
Good luck to everyone!
It's all good.
I'm on Arizona time, so I don't change with the time zones. :P However, you're 2 hours ahead of me.
Okay so I got this drummed up. Taking the 25 pt buy so yay, rolling for HPs. Rahmeen is an aasimar gunslinger and his family would rather have him stay at home and remain their symbol of the Garuda's favor for their hometown. However, Rahmeen wants to help fight for a good cause, and an encounter with a strange woman when he was younger caused him to know just how much a difference a single person can do. He started studying firearms, realized he liked them, and has been training to use them against the demons. He's actually in a riff with his family, who didn't want him risking his life, much less dealing with messy and dangerous black powder weapons. He stubbornly went ahead with it anyways. He would not yield to their demands, and left the household after a fight turned nearly deadly. He is stubbornly going to Kenabres to save at least one life in the worldwound, so that he can pay forward the kindness that the strange Desnan woman paid him. If he can save more than just one, he will take the opportunity and go as far as he can. Rahmeen Taggart: Rahmeen Taggart

Hope it's not too late to dot in! I've really wanted to get into one of these. I didn't see it in the thread, but are you allowing the variant aasimar and tiefling abilities? [Edit]Oh, saw it! Yes we can take 1 roll. Hmm... I think I'll stay stock, since the variant ability I really want has like 1% chance of happening.
That sounds amusing!
Did not feel inspired to make the investigator. Here's my submission: Crowan Thorn Crowan Thorn
I've been playing an Occultist Arcanist through an IRL game of WotR, and with that you get your Summon Monster spells at the levels that a wizard would, plus they're abilities instead of spells taking up your slots, all those Summoner bonuses, etc. My GM has been so dang mad at me sometimes cause I also focus on counter-summoning, and turn what demons think are backup into bombs or outright wastes of time. (Final Sacrifice is one of my favorite spells for that character) I think that Arcanists are better than Wizards in many ways, but Wizards are still not bad at all.
Fair enough. I'll work with whats given. :)
Can I play a reborn Samsaran? If not I'll play a human, no problem.
Ooh. Dotting. Id like to make a scavenger investigator.
YES, it was interest before now its full recruitment.I have a full crunch already up, but just to make it clear, is a completed character with both crunch and background needed to be considered 'finished' or just a background with crunch needed if selected?This uncertainty is why I only have my background posted.

Those familiar with astrology would recognize Desna's constellation across her chest, among many other across her body. 3. She's more interested with exploring her powers and abilities than she is professing any faith. Her oracle's abilities are a part of her regardless of faith, so she's taking it as her personal journey rather than at the behest of the goddess who marked her. 4. She's impulsive, and vain, and loves dressing with fine jewelry and clothing. She is not aware that some of her compulsions are related to her oracle curse. 5. Morgana is a name she adopted when she was a child. All she knows is that she's from the Darkmoon family of kitsune. There is evidence her parents were killed by some kind of magical disaster that left many kitsune dead. Step 2:

Took me a bit to filter through the posts and figure out who was staying and who had just rolled stats and hadn't submitted yet. I based completion on the 10-minute background. If I missed someone please let me know, but I think I got everyone. Let me see if I got this done right:
Awesome. If I get selected I'll add the honor stuff to my build, which I've completed, but haven't put up cause you said you just wanted background stuff right now. Let me know if you want to see my character build, etc.

I'm just waiting on some feedback before I submit a final character.

Still, if this is going to be a long-running game, I'm okay with these. Let me think and build.
I'd be interested in playing through. Let me try stat rolls. 9
ooooor 11
... So I guess I am taking the 20pt buy. Crap. :/ The dice were not with me today.
Actually, gemcutter is great because you can take some of the stones we do find during adventures and clean them up to improve their value. If you can cut the occlusions off of a fist-sized diamond and make it, say, half a fist-sized but perfect, it's actually way, way more valuable.
I'd be interested in this, unless you're already full up.
Phntm888, The wizard I'm submitting is going to be a toolbox-style wizard; I'll focus on having spells for numerous situations, and try to contribute that way. And provide scrolls, so if your character needs a spell, I can probably provide it since a bunch of my starting gold went into expanding my spell repertoire.
I'll present to you Rogna Runscythe, a Sword Binder Wizard.

Born to common blood, he had been discovered to have great magical talent by a local master of magic, Magnus Runescythe. Rogna's parents were unwilling to let him go, since they needed him to help with their family business, one that utterly squandered Rogna's talents. Magnus, instead, bought him out, paying the family a large ransom, equivalent to what Rogna would have made them for the next 50 years.
I'm going to make a dwarf wizard. I'll have him ready after I get some sleep and think about spell selection and whatnot. Going to start with some scrolls crafted if that's okay. I shouldn't step on anyone's toes with this one. Since you're going for a 2-15 game, what is your stance on crafting feats and how often we'll get to use them?
Orlov seems like a copy of Gunnar ... Who? Oh! Your character. Got it. Since you just linked a character on mythweavers I didn't even see you had posted one when I checked to see what people are doing. I had rolled and started building before you posted either way. *shrug* Sorry. Since you had applied with a character from the last recruitment I'd have given your character priority. I'll retract mine until I can think of something else. Reksew_Trebla, do you want me to re-roll stats or something?
His Traits are Gunworker (dwarf), Never Stop Shooting (combat), and Nimble Fingers, Keen Mind (Brigh). He has a Drawback of Vainglory, which makes it that I take a -1 on all bluff, disguise, and stealth checks because I desire recognition for my deeds. (Source: Spymaster's Handbook) Also, would it be safe to assume I managed to fix my starter musket?
Orlov is the member of the Ten-Thunders clan, notable for their traditional use and crafting of black powder weapons. He has 2 brothers and 3 sisters, of whom all now have their own families and contribute to the clan's holdings. Being the youngest of the generation, he's decided to spend a decade or so traveling to broaden his experiences before settling down, finding a wife, whelping a few children, and returning to work for the clan. He's a dusky-skinned dwarf with sharp gray eyes, a head of black hair, and a muttonchop-beard that exposes a tattooed bare chin flanked on either side by a braid that ends in a silver clasp. On closer inspection, the tattoos cover burn scars that would prevent hair from growing there. Orlov wears his gunsmith's clothes and a magical bandoleer that helps him carry more ammunition and his tools. A musket hangs from his back on a sling. He has gloves with the forefinger and thumb cut off so he can feel the tools he's working with. Orlov would gladly adventure to further the cause of his fellow dwarves, as he has a strong sense of camaraderie with his kind. He's got a sense of humor and a desire to show off his skills, and isn't the best person at being stealthy or quiet.

Huh. This is entirely unknown territory for me. I'm interested. -1=13
[edit]Gonna make a gunslinger dwarf, probably musket master. Rolling cash now.
interested, but would like to know more about how the world is different from ours so that I can think of stuff to play
Questions I made but that was a page ago.
This character is one that I would love to get into a game, and I find that this AP would be an interesting trial of her character. Luccia's stat block is below, but that's just stats, you know? So things that would have been important to her development and this recruitment:

Okay, so I have the character planned out. I would love for other applicants to mesh or interweave with mine, so the initial backstory for the character is kind of mild, but in later posts I'd like to flesh it out more with stuff dovetailed with other players. Gram was once a child of a migrant clan of half-orcs, all of whom were second or even third generation descendants of their half-orc parents. He spent many of his first and formative years learning the hard life out on the savanna and desert sands. Many years later, he worked as a warrior of his clan, fighting to defend his home and territory. Though they were somewhat stably established near Katapesh, they migrated west towards Solku with the seasons. During travel one year, the clan was ambushed by gnolls. Though the clan was ferocious, several of them fell before the gnolls were driven off, including Gram. When he awoke, he found he had been thought dead and buried alive in a mass grave alongside his parents. Struggling to the surface, he surprised a Pharasmin cleric who had discovered the site of the battle and had been in the process of burying the dead when Gram crawled his way out of the dirt. The Pharasmin nursed him back into health, teaching him about things he never knew. Along the days of recovery, he found that while most of the clan survived, they had moved on. He had a choice: Try to catch up to his clan, or try to live anew and do something with his life that would honor the dead. Though he's somewhat simple of mind, he knows he's strong and tough and could use that to bring the hurt to the gnolls. Or anyone else he sees as an enemy.

Dotting for interest. I have been seeing the Feat Tax thing more and more often and I'm wanting to try playing with it to see what it is. I am okay with trying wounds/vigor and Armor as DR, but I don't like the called shot option. I should be able to output my character with the rules if I reread through them. Does the rules cover barbarian DR and armor DR? (In case it's not evident, I was intending on making an unchained barb for the game. I'm thinking a Half-Orc that's from a small nomadic tribe entirely composed of half-orcs and their descendants, so he actually had half-orc parents, etc. He would be very, very dark skinned and go with the oiled upper body shirtless kind of hero.) Is this the game where you start off knowing Haleen? I want to write something nice and in-depth but I need to know if I should include ties to that character.
Hello again DM Ragnarok! Loving your Scion game. Do you have a problem with me applying if I'm already in a game? I was hoping to try playing something a little more interesting, and your build rules would actually let me make something really interesting. Up to you, of course.
Attribute set 1:
Set 2
I think I might go with set 2.
