I'd like to have more details. What's the paradox thing. And what about those weird new races? I'm looking for a new campaign to join and can play many roles. I would prefer not to be a healer, but secondary healers is something I can do. I have about 4-5 character concepts on the boiler, depending on what's available. Also is this level one?
Start: Level 2
Paradox is a on the second post, it's a realism add-on for character creation.
I won't post all the race, ask about it and I'll post the data.
Some NPCs in the game can be recruited and romanced.
NO Summoners, Gunslingers, or Magus.
I see yuki-onna, are you mixing in japanese things with the western fantasy? I'd like to see half frost-folk, nymph and succubus, if possible. Are other half races like thieflings, assimars and such welcome?
Tieflings, changelings and aasimars are also open
(but not the pseudo-genasi).
I'll post the Races a bit later.

Bump
I'd be quite interested in playing, if you don't mind a couple of questions. It sounds morality isn't glossed over in your game, which I like. I'd really enjoy playing a LG Paladin of Shelyn, with an interesting racial twist like a succubus touched. I noticed several heritage feats as racial bonus feats and I was wondering where you allow feat choices from. Would you mind posting up some more of the races and templates so I know what I'm working with?
About me as a player, I love a good game of any kind and am more than willing to experiment with homebrew. I am a student, and usually have plenty of time to post at least once a day, and often much more than that. My time zone is EST. If you have any questions for me, or more info about the campaign such as what character types you'd like to see, additonal rules, ect ect, then please let me know!
The heritage feats feats came from either Complete mage, Fiendish Codex I, or is a custom heritage feats (based on abyssal heritor feat design)
The homebrew is based on a 3.5 GreyHawk pantheon with secrets that are Hidden.
The homebrew takes place on the Island of Twilight (I used Twilight before those freaking Vampire books did). The Island's west side is mountainous, the east side is mostly grassy plains with few mountains, the north is a Frostburn environment, the centre of the island contains forests, the River Chrono, grassy plains, a great lake, and is bordered with mountains in the north that prevents the cold air from going farther south. The southern part is like the central part, but warmer.
Major powers in the world;
Church of Zarus, Have complete control of the southern third of the Island and are trying to get the rest, the church only sees humans has superior to all the other whom they believe be their slaves (they are a**-h***s)
Chief Odin (mountain folk) of the North, Has kept the Church of Zarus out of the north and has protected it's people.
King Osric (Human), Keeper of the East, he keeps the church of Zarus out of the East with cunning, words, and information.
Zarg (Orc), Orc Lord, lives in the Western Mountains, his hatred of other races is on par with the church of Zarus against them, If it came between raiding a defenseless human settlement or a company from the Church or Zarus, he'll pick Zarus every time.
Power houses with no Country;
Stein (Half-dragon), a wandering arcane monk who prefers to observe things then interfere, he has taken a few disciples and some have earned a name for themselves.
Sarah Calligenia (??), A disciple of Stein who works as a merc, but for missions that require more of a subtle touch.
the rumoured and mysterious power houses
Azure Knights, are a generally unknown power in the world only appearing near the Lost Sacred Ruins and rarely elsewhere.
The Epitaph Clan, a group of ninja clans that hold very old and power secrets about the world.
If you want to look at other templates, just mention the ones that you might be interested in.
Some can evolve into a 1/2 race state (listed below)
Draconic (RotD) (template)
Glaistig Touched (base)
Movanic Deva touched (base)
nymph touched (base)
Oread touched (base)
Succubus Touched (base)
Yuki-onna touched (base)
Could I see the Yuki-Onna, Movic Deva, and Glaistig touched bases? I wouldn't mind seeing the Visilight Infused template also. Thank you! I should have a character up by the weekend.

Any others?
Sorry it's taking me a little to get my character together, I've fallen under the weather, and it's slowing me down. Should have something together by the end of the weekend!
Alright, here's Calen, mechanics only. His backstory isn't very detailed, just grew up as an orphan, wanted to learn more about his heritage and found out he was of a draconic blood line. He spent several years in an Io monastery and then set out to experience the world and seek self perfection and balance. Any thoughts or questions? Also, should I have a higher starting gold because he's starting at level 2? I also took the eye for talent pathfinder racial human trait in the place of my bonus feat, and was wondering if that would apply to recruitable NPCs.
eye for talent would apply the +2 to sense motive,
but not the +2 stat bonus for the recruitable NPCs.
in that case, I'd be better off with Skill focus (sense motive) since I won't be getting a cohort or mount any time soon. I'll make the change. What else do I need before I can start?
I think your good to go,
Question is how to get you in given the other PC's current location.
Calen has a lot of curiosity, and it's entirely possible that he's be sneaking around somewhere he shouldn't, or wouldn't otherwise. If you want to just throw me in a random room somewhere, (or in a dungeon if you'd rather) that's fine with me. I'm up for anything.
Just read the last couple of pages of the gameplay thread. Perhaps I could already be in the ruin looking around, or have seen them enter it and decide to follow out of curiosity?
I'll have you stubble upon the trail to the ruins and entering it.
I'm interested if your still looking for players.
I have an idea for a barbarian, and I think I can get it to work with the half-frost folk, but I have a question about the snowsight ability, what exactly does it do?
Is that Leaf over there? It'd be nice to play with you again Adam.
Nice to see you too. I just hope I'm not too late to join in. I'll be reading through the game thread in a bit to get some ideas.
Edit: on second thought, maybe not.
I'm thinking about going with Titan Mauler Barbarian, but we'll see how that goes.
snow sight allows you to see, unhindered in certain snow related weather conditions
Okay, thank you for the info. Kinda funny that I decided not to do a Titan mauler, and decided to go with the Elemental Kin archetype.
Character stats and background should be up in a little while.
Edit: just to make sure, 2nd level, max starting wealth, max hp, right?
2nd level,
max starting wealth,
HP should be maxed first, and roll (better than half the die) for the second, but I'll give as max.
Any other info needed?

Great Temple of Caerleon Wedb: Location Unknown
Morrigu Barrow Wall: A large stonewall that looks to be craved into the Cliffside
Briona Gwydion Skyway: This sacred ground is in the Keel mountain range, about 100 km north of the Arche Koeln Falls. Briona Gwydion is a beautifully stone craved and crafted bridge across a very deep ravine.
Grand Forge Alchema: This sacred ground is in a volcano.
Hulle Granz Cathedral: A large stone structure on an island in Twilight lake on the eastern side
Shadow Mortis Graveyard: This graveyard is on an island in Twilight lake on the western side.
2nd level,
max starting wealth,
HP should be maxed first, and roll (better than half the die) for the second, but I'll give as max.Any other info needed?
Yeah, do all the modifiers stack?
ie Start off with-----------: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10+2 CON for Human------------: 10, 10, 12, 10, 10, 10
Modifier for female---------: 9, 11, 11, 10, 11, 11
Modifier for Hframe(+ CON)--: 9, 12, 12, 10, 11, 10
Modifier for half-frost folk: 10, 14, 14, 10, 11, 10
I was looking at Calen Calor's build and saw that he had stacked them, so I was wondering if that was right.
yep each fragment stacks.
base stats + gender fragment + bodytype fragment + race mods
Half-frost folk is a base race, not a template.
Okay, thank you.
One last thing, are paradox traits required?
no,
paradox traits are optional for traits in trait selection.
Alrighty then. Hope to have this done tonight for your approval. Thanks for giving me a chance to join.
Character's done.
Let me know how you want to handle the "voices in her head" thing. I figures that and her backstory might provide you with some hooks you could use.
Also let me know if I missed anything.
"voices in her head" thing is under your control,
the "Androgynous" trait is for a pure Etco body type
oh, whoops will fix immediately.
Fixed.
I'm ready to go if you are.
it's good to go.
Question is how to introduce you into the group?
Same way as Calen could work. I can imagine her tracking the group because the voices told her to.
maybe,
But I don't really like doing the same thing twice so close together in time
What about having them find here some where in the ruins? She's asleep and they happen across her makeshift camp, perhaps?
There are creatures in the ruins that would have you for lunch, and the large heavy doors don't help much.
Point taken.
Deus ex machina? Have Ice Eyes be teleported into the middle of the group, but that may not fit your play style.
Sorry, but I'm running out of ideas that don't flay right into campy territory.
I did that once and it was because the players missed an area to find a replacement PC (as the player's previous PC died), and the place was collapsing. I had him appear in the sky over a well after the place finished caving in.
I don't mind campy ideas, so long as it could make some sense.
And I don't think you want to be chased by my version of Pikachu.
