Okay, a halfling bard is fine.
Sorry I haven't gotten my character sheet finished yet... I should have it done by tomorrow. Though, I actually did have it finished a little while ago but when I pressed the 'save changes' button, I lost all my work :(
That's cool. We probably we won't be getting started until at least midway through next week so you have plenty of time.

Can I still tweak my character?
Just found the flaws for cleric article in Dragon 326, and the cleric alternative class features article in Dragon 353.
Plus I plan on changing my character's patron deity. (Which of course entail changing parts of my character's background)
Lastly, will you accept an evil character? I was thinking about the role-playing possibilities, considering the present mix of characters in the team.

Not my decision, but I found evil characters in PbP games I ran more than destructive, but that of course depends upon the setting and adventure.

I was thinking more of Adrian Pasdar as "Jim Profit" evil in the 1990s series "Profit." Yes, he did blackmail, malversation, even murder but he just wanted to be part of a family and was a thoroughly likable guy, which makes his brand of evil all the more frightening.
Further, I promise, if allowed to play such a character, that my character will not seek the demise of the members of the party. I will be lawful and would adhere to a strict moral code, one that I wish to flesh out using the flaws for paladins article in Dragon 324, p. 96.
Think of this as an opportunity to expand our role-playing horizons.
Anyways, I still need Arctaris' "ok" before proceeding.
Um... hmm well my character is LG with a capital G - so she really wouldn't co-operate with anyone evil in the slightest. (she's verging on being a paladin in that regard). Likewise, I've found evil characters to be rather divisive in PbP.
You can be 'not very nice' and not be evil - LN has plenty of potential to be selfish.

I see your point. My character as it stands now is LN.
A lawful neutral character that's selfish ect. is fine by me as long as you don't kill fellow party members orbe overly hostile to them. Evil can fit in and, like you said, be a likeable person to their friends.
If there are going to be evil PCs, I might duck out and let someone on the waiting list take a slot. Nothing personal, I just prefer inter-party, rather than intra-party conflict.
I added my Char to my description - not finished completely, I have to fill out her Gear and languages and take a look if I haven't forgot anything.
Sshantera is directly under this post
And here is her profile - this (Sshantera) is an alias of gurps.
Is there a FAQ somewhere about the how-tos of paizo-boards (for instance making these nice "click to open" buttons)?
Look at the BBCode tags you can use button underneath the area you can type in, it will give you the various tags you need to type in to make the buttons.
Great character, by the way!
Thanks (for both :-) )
think I found ** spoiler omitted **
it made me laugh anyway... :)
Looks good, gurps.

That's precisely it. Whatever "evil" my character might be doing is in the background. Insofar as the party is concerned, my character is a loyal member of the group. Hence, no opportunity for intra-party conflict should arise.
Moreover, my character will take extra precaution not to be discovered.
Finally, I would like to think that my character would be judged on the basis of his actions.
If you give me a chance to prove that this could work, then I'm sure you won't regret your decision.

The underlying goal for my character for the campaign will actually require him to work with a group. And perhaps convince them of the justness of his cause.
Here is my character: Khev Vexral, Chelaxian binder. A truly conflicted character, quite Chaotic Neutral, but readily willing to work in a group (if not a little too willing).
Here is my character Razghul of Korvosa. And though he introduces himself as "Muad-dib," a cleric of Adabar. He swiftly intimates that his friends call him "Raz."

I'm sure we'll get along. Call me "Raz." My friends do.

If you do decide to step aside, I might remake my char as a Barbarian to fill you spot.
Actually, just having a quick look through every bodies characters, it seems we are the most Charismatic group ever devised. I don't think anyone has a Cha score of less than 14.
Although I was going to play a Bard, I don't really feel like competing with you all for the "face" roll, and so, to play something different, I am seriously thinking about remaking as a Barbarian anyway.
Is that fine Arctaris? If you want me to remain with my original character concept of a Bard, then that's cool, but with a party of 6, we could probably do with Character dedicated to Raw Damage output.
Assuming it is cool to go with a Barb, would it also be fine to play a Wood Elf (from the MM)?
Yeah, my paladin wannabe is going to not fit in too well with an Asmodeus worshipper lol. I'm going to step out and let someone else take a spot. Have fun! :)

I was hoping that you would give it a chance.
Anyways, hope we can participate together in some other future game.

That's a shame.
I will start working up my Barbarian then. Shouldn't take too long, they are simple to play and simple to build :)
Here is the Skeleton for Drannor. Still have to finalise Gear, Background etc. but the numbers should be right to go.

You weren't kidding when you said Raw Damage output!
Sorry you had to drop out, FabesMinis, perhaps another time.
The barabrian looks fine, mevers.
As does Evil Genius' Binder.
Torillian, you're in. Please get a character concept and sheet to me ASAP. If I don't hear from you within three days I'll go to the next person on the list.
I'm aiming to start the game sometime in the middle/late part of this week. I think everyone has finished characters except for TwiceBorn and Torillian.

Awesome! Could I get a brief list of what classes/races are being played? I have a few ideas and it'll make my decision quicker.
I'll try to have something posted tomorrow evening. Thanks for the opportunity!
Actually, never mind. I'm going ahead with a half-elf fighter, specializing in twin short swords. I'll have him posted by tomorrow.
I'll change my avatar to reflect a general appearance of him.

I don't mean to b*!!-in, but I've already put together a list that I'll post here. I've been trying to keep up with who is doing what, so that if you guys need a third-stringer, I'd be ready to jump in. My first post got buried on page one somewhere. Anyhow, here is my understanding of what folks are playing:
Mevers is playing Drannor the Wood Elf Barbarian
Maud-Dib is playing Maud-Dib (a.k.a. Razghul) the Human Cleric
Evil Genius is playing Khev Vexral the Human Binder
Gurps is playing Sshantera the Human Shadowcaster
EDIT:
Torillan is playing Torillan (???) the Half-Elf Fighter
Looks like a bit of roguish help is needed, perhaps.
As I said before. If an open slot becomes available, I've got a Human or Gnomish Spellthief on the back burner. Otherwise, I'll just pop in and read the adventures this group is going to have. PBP's make for good escapist reading. Especially with my job!
I beleive that TwiceBorn is planning to play a scout of some kind, so that'll flesh out the rogue skills a little.
Here is a revised list of back-up players:
Jeremy LeGrue
Santinj@
Terra Nova

Since you are playing another fighter type, I think I'll change my character again. Sorry, but I have had an idea for a Half-Orc Monk/Druid for a while now, and this looks like the perfect campaign and party to give him a whirl.
I plan on taking the Shapeshifter variant from PHB2, so that should give us a decent Backup fighter, and some more healing / summoning would also go well I think. I plan on playing him as a summoner that occasionally also mixes it up in melee as well.
I'm thinking of a Half-Orc who has been living / training for the past few years at the monastery in Sandpoint, seeking to over come his orcish side through strict discipline, and show the world that Half-Orcs are not inherantly evil like their full orc brethren. To that end, he has spent the past 8 months or so, living with Niska Mvashti, as her protector and learning the way of the Druids.
Arctaris, if you want me to stay with my Barbarian, that's cool, but if you don't mind me changing (again!), I'll have him statted up and ready top go this arvo. Sorry I seem to be jumping around a bit on character creation, I have been having trouble working out exactly what I want to play, but once we start, it will be all good.
Okay, a half-orc druid will be fine.
Here is a link to the discussion thread.

Aww, dude, I hate to see you do that. I just figured a straight fighter would be useful. If you are OK with changing, then I'm OK too. I just feel bad. The new combo sounds cool, too!

I like a character that does not allow fate to dictate the paths he may take.
There is a feat called "Monastic Training" that should help you in multiclassing. I'll post the sourcebook once I get a chance to rummage through my stuff.

Don't worry, I'm not changing because you are playing a fighter. Think of it more as graciously giving me the opportunity to play something else. I was struggling to see my barbarian as more than just stats on a page (profile), this is a character I am actually psyched to play.

FabesMinis, click here if you're still interested in playing a PbP Rise of the Rune Lords Campaign. Check it out, and let me know what you think.

I'd gladly join the game as well, if there is still "free space". Currently i am tending towards a a sorcerer character, or maybe a wizard. However, if you need something specific, just drop me a line or two, and i can probably cook something up.
TerraNova, would be you be interested in participating in a PbP Rise of the Runelord's campaign that JSL, FabesMinis, and I are trying to start? If so, please click here. Thanks.
Got it! Monastic Training can be found at the Eberron Campaign Setting.
