Looking for a play-by-post where I can play an aasimar warlock.
She was originally going for the Acolyte of the Skin from Complete Arcane, but I have also started thinking of mixing Dragon Disciple.
She is currently using the 3.5 32 point buy.

If it is too much trouble, I can make a different character. She's right here if you want to look her over.
I'm fine with a homemade world.

The only world concept I can think of isn't really mine.
Divine casters rule supreme and keep the arcanists are close to being oppressed. Or Arcane magic is illegal.
EDIT: I've got it. Arcane magic users are oppressed or criminals, and our characters(which could be divine caster in theory) are trying to change that, for the good of the people or for power and prestige.

i can work with that
Certainly sounds interesting, though another idea may be a sorcerer who must, for obvious reasons, keep his gifts a secret. It would certainly give him a very good reason to want to bring about change.
Of course one might be able to use their sorcerous talents to pass off as a priest, obviously a neutral one focused on negative energy or an evil one to explain the lack of healing, but it might be possible, Bluff is a Sorcerer class skill after all.
Mind if I join in? I'll play whatever role needs filled, but I'm most likely to play a Rogue in this sort of setting, or maybe a ranger. Heck as a Ranger I could be a bounty hunter that goes after arcane casters. Likely he'd only do it for money, not out of any hatred for arcane casters, allowing him to befriend one in the party and find a way to use his connections as a bounty hunter to their aid.
Glad to have you on board(pun?).
I'm thinking about trying a necromancer. Thoughts anyone?
That would likely be your best bet if you wanted to disguise yourself as a neutral or evil priest, that'd give you the mastery over negative energy and obviously undead to fool others into thinking you were.
Hey I just had an idea for my character. Okay, so arcane magic is forbidden, that suggests there's no God of Magic or if there are they've been long forgotten. Perhaps they were defeated by another god or gods and have been slowly recovering there power and are now ready to restore their church. Or perhaps a new god from another pantheon or cosmology wants in on this world's worshipers and wants to bring arcane magic to prosperity on this world.
Either way I want to play a cleric of such a god, the first of their new priesthood. Dedicated to building/rebuilding the faith, and freeing and nurturing arcane magic.
Think I'll go with necromancer, then, and a cleric devoted to a god wanting to bring aracne magic back will give me the RP application for the cleric levels. Perhaps Nethys is coming back?
Idk, this is Pathfinder, but it's also a homebrew, I'm not sure if I'm liking Nethys or not just yet. So maybe he'll be our god of magic, or maybe we can use another from somewhere. If everyone really wants Nethys than I won't complain, I was just thinking that maybe I could find someone else.
I'm not all that much interested in the concept of divine vs. arcane magic. It would work in monotheistic society, but not in polytheistic methinks. So, I'll wait for the rest of the group to decide what to play, and then I'll create a character based on the group needs.
It can still work in polytheism, either the government has decided arcane magic to be too dangerous, or the gods, never having a god of magic or defeating that god, don't like the idea of magic coming from any source besides themselves and have thus allied to squash out arcane magic and keep it banned from society.

Well, we've got a cleric and a sorcerer (caffeinated and Dragonborn respectively), I've already volunteered Fighter duty, though I may pick a different class if you really want to be the party beatstick...
No, you nailed it first. Although, I may wait to see what kind of meat-slasher you create, and do something different. Or ranger, perhaps...
