After a very long hiatus from the boards, I am back, and willing to DM another PbP (I apologise to all those in my previous PbP threads that have died)
I am looking for 4 characters of 6th level. It will be set in Osirion. Rules are as follows:
*Standard races only.
*All classes, including APG classes are allowed.
*Please post at least once per day if at all possible.
*Each character has 16,000 gp to spend (5, 000 for weapons, 5, 000 for armour and 6, 000 for everything else).
*Stats are roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die roll, roll this 7 times and drop the lowest score.
*Roll for every level HP after 1st.
Have fun and put forth your characters.

I'm in the same boat as jlord, I havn't played before but I'm willing to participate. Also, forgive my stupidity but what's APG?
Hmm...looks like we'll need a healer so I'll be a Halfling Cleric, but if APG classes are things like Priest from Tomb of Secrets then I'll go for that.
I assume pathfinder rules since you havn't pointed out if it's something else unless Osirion is meant to be obvious to it's location...sorry I'm not too brainy on locations and such of stuff.

It doesn't include Tome of Secrets. That's a different book by a 3PP. :)

Osirion is the Egyptian equivalent country in Pathfinder/Golarion.
EDIT: Ninja'd by jlord. Curse my need to quote sources with links... :)

Just looking at the deities and I'm usually terrible being lawful, not to mention this one deity is really interesting, Calistria, which will be very funny since I've already chosen a halfling and it says she's often considered a elf goddess, but halflings do indeed do things differently just for the hell of it. :)

Oh right, thanks for that. I downloaded the beta APG a while ago but think I'll stay with a cleric to heal the team.

How about an Oracle of Bone/Undead Bloodline Sorcerer with an eye towards Mystic Theurge. A sort of Osirion re-imagining of this Character.

Who does the rolls the player or DM?
Players generally make the rolls.
You can use the Dice Roller inherant in the Messageboard BBCode like so: 1d20 ⇒ 12
To do it, you simply type (dice)1d20(/dice) but replace the ( ) with [ ]
EDIT: Damn it's my night for being Ninja'd ain't it! ;)

Okay, I've looked at the characters so far, and I think that jlord, Nix Tharel, flash_cxxi and Black Tom are the players. Go ahead and create your characters and ask any questions you need to ask, I'll be monitoring this thread continually.
The reserve characters will be Vanulf Wilson and overfiend_87, go ahead and create your characters as well.
Hmm...looks like we'll need a healer so I'll be a Halfling Cleric, but if APG classes are things like Priest from Tomb of Secrets then I'll go for that.
Tome of Secrets isn't allowed sorry, if you want healer, my advice is to choose from the 11 standard classes, or to choose Witch or Oracle for your character.
How are you on 3.5 feats? I've been working on a Paladin of Sarenrae who dual wields scimitars, but use the feat Oversized Two-weapon Fighting from the Complete Adventurer. He's actually more Qadiran in flavor, but could work.
sorry no 3.5 feats, only Pathfinder.
If you guys want to use any other feats or traits from any other Pathfinder book, please ask me, and I will see if I have the book.
Something I realised i had forgotten to mention:
*Each character gets 2 traits, but not from the same lists, e.g, no two faith traits, no two combat traits, etc.

I couldn't figure out how to get dice to roll in the alias page for the character i made, and i was unsure about cluttering up this forum with rolls, so i used a dice roller and posted the results. if you want to see the randomization i can reroll in this thread or wherever so you can see it.
Here is my character in progress...
Are there any background traits/or Osirion based traits to choose from and if there are where would i find them?
Nix Tharel |
Is there any background information we should keep in mind while creating characters? (i.e. Starting city/area, recent events in the storyline, political/governmental/faction outlook).
Will we RP group formation, or will we assume that has already happened. If we already know one other, I'd be willing to split the cost of a Wand of Cure Light wounds amongst the group.
My character (still working on him) can be found here

What about Osirion Faction Traits from the Pathfinder Society Guide to Organized Play?
Not saying I want any at this early stage, but they would be good for Osiriani Flavour. :)Nix Tharel |
err...Traits? Trying to find them on pathfinder wiki but having trouble.
See Paizo's free pdf: http://paizo.com/traits

They are fine too, you can use them.

Don't worry about cluttering it up here, this is sort of what this thread is for.

Okay, you all know each other already, and are an adventuring group that works for the Pathfinder Society. You start with trying to meet with your Pathfinder Society contact at an underground auction.
This module is a dungeon crawl with some Roleplaying. It is one of the Gamemastery J modules, so its more about some kind of journey than anything else.
More will be posted once I remember where I put the module.

How is an Oracle of bones going with a Paladin? Should I go for ranger?
hmmm... that's an interesting question, especially considering he's going to be utilizing Undead.
If you want to play the Paladin, I could come up with another idea if you like. I have plenty of ideas for Characters floating around my head, I'm sure I could pull one out and get it together. :)
Otherwise our GM could think of something to tie us together?

Group full?
I love Egyptian games!!! I could be a tomb raider archaeologist! With ties to the Pathfinder Society
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 5) = 19 16
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 3) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 2) = 17 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 2) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 2) = 13 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 6) = 14 13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 2) = 17 15
Bard/Monk/Rogue 2/2/1 maybe

Languages
Which language is common, Osiriani? I want to make sure that I have some chance of reading ancient Osiriani, and PFCCS p.220 says that a speaker of modern Osiriani stands a chance of decoding Ancient Osiriani. (I assume this would use a Linguistics Skill check.)
Group Background
I'd like to suggest for a group background that we were doing some exploration of ancient ruins. Perhaps after a few false/bad leads, we found something noticeable enough to get the attention of the Pathfinder Society (as the hook into this adventure).
Sources
I am considering using some content from Adventure's Armory. Will DM Ekeebe allow it as a source?

GM_Ekeebe:
Does purchase cost of Amulet of Natural Armor and/or Bracers of Armor count towards the armor or "other" category?
Group:
Any other thoughts on group background?
What about splitting a Want of Cure Light Wounds?
Additionally, I will be traveling this weekend, so I doubt that I can post around Sunday or so.
