I have a weird character combo. 1 level barbarian, 2 levels paladin. When I thought of Tomas's back story I thought the barbarian best fit his inability to back down. I looked for rules about ex-barbarians and could not find them, so I am not sure if this means there are no hindrances.
I think you keep the fast movement, but lose the ability to rage.
That would suck. :) Can you think of another way to express his tenaciousness? Barbarian seemed such a good fit.
I think the only restriction is that you must be non-lawful to advance in barbarian not to keep its abilities, though I could be wrong.

Not sure... maybe the diehard feat?

That's the monk, unfortunately. Though Nightflier might houserule it that way.
I like Havoc's interpretation of the rules better. :D
As much as I liked my interpretation too I just found this
Ex-Barbarians
A barbarian who becomes lawful loses the ability to rage and cannot gain more levels as a barbarian. She retains all other benefits of the class.
though maybe Nightflier will rule otherwise.
Diehard is going to be next feat choice. I took the prereq already.
I would be very happy if we wait until the New Year! Glad you are back.
Cyra and my characters are both finished and pending your inspection.
Merry Christmas all!
Elmario's ready, have you settled on Hollowfaust for the start of the campaign?
Happy new year everyone hope everyone has a great year. So any idea on when we should be starting this one?
I am posting this from my phone, so I'll be short. My provider promised me that I'll get full internet access back first thing Monday morning, so I'll resume all of my games then. I would be very grateful if someone could repost this to my other game threads.
Oops, I've just noticed that I don't qualify for Improved Natural Weapon until next level. I'll switch it out either tonight or in the morning.
Updated with backstory, which is somewhat abrupt, since I type the whole thing, and then a function key on my new keyboard kindly deleted the entire thing. Gah. I hate technology sometimes...

Ok..sorry took me a while to find this thread...
Here's my character idea again...
Scarred Lands - I'll just reuse an old character concept...
<SUNAMBER> Alaerin {Summerhawke} = Half-Elf/male, Fig 2 / Wiz[Evoker] 1
* Restricted Schools = Illusion, Necromancy
- He will be form the Darakeene Kingdom near its southern boarder. The Campaign Setting for Ghelspad says that Emperor Klum is considering logging efforts there to rebuild his Navy.
If it is ok with you Nightflier... I'd like to say that is well underway and the humans and elves of the region have been fighting over it for sometime. The humans want the lumber the elves want the humans to leave their trees alone. It has turned into a bitter conflict with nasty tragedies and crimes committed on both sides. The one thing both the Humans and the elves agree on..half-elves are an abomination and they are killed on sight. neither side trusts them to not be infiltrators or spies for the other side. so ...generally they are killed at birth. The humans have taken some elves as slaves originally as hostages against attacks from the 'wild-elves', but its been long enough that the 'civilized-elves', the human's slaves, have become a community in their own right. I noted that the half-elven population in Darakeene is so low as to not even have a full 1%... so half-Elves are very rare there. Its all set up for my characters backstory... unless you are planning on setting the campiagn in that out of the way place it should not really impact the game as a whole.
So... only Pathfinder source material is available for this game? No scarred lands material or other 3.5 Sources?
And where do I post my character's stats?
The PCs will start at 3rd level, 28 point buy, maximum gold. Everything published by Paizo is allowed as is, and everything from previous editions of the game on case to case basis. Available traits can be seen by clicking on Nightflier's profile. There is a bonus feet as a reward for extensive background that ties the character to the game world.
I believe that was everything if I missed something someone please add it.

WOW! Saw Nightflier's linked page...Tre' Cool!
Wish there was a 'Child of Fire' trait... <SUNAMBER> is supposed to have a innate affinity with fire... but he didn't really grow up in a desert so the 'Child of the Desert' trait is not really appropriate! :)
Uhmm... so at 3rd level starting cash would be 3,000gp... as per p. 399 Pathfinder Core Rulebook?
Thx for the info Kira!
Max 1st level then max for a 3rd level character.

Ulp! I just noticed something... channeler class? The optional spellpoint system? Um... how does that affect my Evoker abilities? More spell points? Ah..yeah I also took the Child of magic Trait... more spell points...
{rustling out the old...3.5 books...}
Where was that spellpoint system detailed? I remeber it from 2nd Edition in the Spells & Magic book by TSR...but for 3.5...er 3.0...i'm a little lost on that one...Complete Arcane? Tome of Magic? or is it Unearthed Arcana?
Spell points are from Nightflier's midnight game we are using good old vanictian(is it spelled right?).

Uhmm... perhaps not spelled well enough for me.. I'm lost. What spell point system?
I have Unearthed Arcana open...but I'm not sure if that is what you mean... U.A. does mention a Spell point Variant: Vitalizing? Is that what you mean?

What he's trying to tell you is that the scarred lands game is not using a spell point system, so don't pay attention to that part of Nightflier's profile. That is for use in his Midnight game only...Not for Scarred Lands, Korvosa, or Tsar. Use the standard magic system.

We aren't using the spell point system for this game, as far as I know.
He's just using it for the Midnight game.
Kiravethran Orlekennyrlylth (henceforth 'KO,' cause I ain't ever typing that again!!!) meant 'Vancian,' the standard 3rd edition / PF memorize / prepare and forget / cast spell system, not 'vitalizing' or anything.

Yes. Loosely based (and I do mean loosely based on the writings of Jack Vance.
What they said. And Set if you thinks its a pain to type imagine trying to say it out loud. ;)

Okay, the game will start in a place called Deadwood Village, located some 20 miles away of Hollowfaust. It was discovered that the coal mined from the local deposits has some unusual necromantic properties. Burning this coal releases certain necromantic energies, their type depending on the precise location of the shaft and depth from which the coal has been excavated. This has drawn the attention of worldly powers, such as Black Dragon or Mythrill. Hollowfaust has tentative control of the village, but it hasn't annexed it yet. The politics are not right just yet.

Ok..got it guys. Thx... working furiously on finishing my character. Still don't know where to post him... or how to.
Hey Nightflier! Where is Hollowfaust? I've found Mithril... is it on the Ghelspad Continent right?
EDIT: Ah..silly me..Figured it out how to post my profile... duh! But do I need a separate Site ID for multiple characters? Can I change my current profile to another?
Go to "my account" then "create new alias" and make your character there.

Oh, I'm good at pronouncing odd stuff. Kiravethran is a snap and the last name isn't hard once you remember that last L.
I just can't type for crap. :)
My guildmates are always annoyed that my EQ and WoW characters have names like Uinseach (oon-see-ash). They get me back by coming up with alternate pronunciations, like 'Eunuch-search.'

Ok. My character is posted. Please do not laugh too loudly. I'm sure he is not as efficient as many of your characters...but this is the first time I've done a Fighter / Wizard in Pathfinder.
I'm much more familiar with 3.5 Fighter / Wizard builds... the feats I have access to are ...very limited in PF.
Hope you do not get too bored with his history its kinda long.
One down... my Korvosa character will be easier... Working on that now.
Hey nightflier if you have any room let me know. A have a ranged fighter concept I'd love to give a shot.
Hope your character won't be too bothered by having to full elves around and one being a bit headstrong. Also if Nightflier says yes it would be a pleasure to play in another game with you.
Edit:
I see he has already said yes so I suppose that means welcome aboard instead.

LOL..thank you.
I'm sure eventually Alaerin will get over his ...nervous fear of elves. He does not hate them... merely is 'careful' around them... years of hearing the Trumland-Baymen tales of how dangerous and wicked the Foul Wood Elves were ...leaves its mark. But he will grow out of it when he becomes a bit more worldly-wise.
Sorry if my tale was a bit wordy...
This is my New Alias... I finally figured out how this works...Duh...Feel silly... but at least I know now! :)
So how do you feel about an amnesiac? As in she woke up in the aftermath of an epic battle surrounded by corpses and wandered out.
Thanks Mark now I keep thinking of making a character based off Dory from Finding Nemo.
"Wait? Why am I fighting you again?" Dane asks the goblin mid swing as he removes the creatures head. "Oh....ummm never mind then. I'll ask that guy over there."
Kira might be needing a look at Alaerin's spellbook later on to copy a few to his own spell book.
LOL..I concur...
I just noticed how...somewhat similar our characters are actually! LOL...I had considered making Sunamber a Fire Elementalist, but when I saw your character, I decided against it.
I Didn't want to step on your uniqueness... an Evoker works... its what Sunamber was in 3.0 - 3.5 when I originally played him... its cool!
I feel like there may be some wizard duels in the future as in;
"Try this." Kira remarks as the goblins rush towards the group a thin fan of flame extending from his fingertips catching a group of goblins lighting them aflame.
Updated history.
He was originally going to be shown how to protect himself with daggers so that he could stay safe in a world gone mad. When they realized he also had his fathers mind for the arcane they began to show him the world of arcane magic. He quickly picked this up especially manipulating the element of fire.
While he was younger he studied the art of tattooing finding that the ability came easily to his dexterous fingers he practiced it even doing a few of his own and some of Nuve's tattoos as well. While meditating in the woods one day Kiravethran felt a strange prickly sensation at the base of his scalp almost a sensation of being watched when he finally opened his eyes he saw a 2 foot long green with a lighter green ventrolateral stripe running the length of its body white-lipped pitviper staring at him his serpentine tongue flickering in and out of his mouth tasting the air between him and Kira. Kira remembering the woman who had recently died of a bite from one of these deadly snakes didn't move an inch staring into the serpents elliptical pupils there seemed to be some kind understanding some bond between elf and serpent. He lifted his hand towards the snake and rather than biting him the snake slithered onto the hand and wrapped its self around his arm since then the snake and Kira have stayed with one another the snake being called Nimhe.
During his training a rival student Daeson cut Kira's face after losing a match during a test of martial prowess. Daeson picked up his dropped blade and rushed at Kira after being defeated by the cocky young elf. Kira's quick reflexes aloud him to flick both blades back out of their sheaths and defend himself. In a rage, one eye blinded by the blood dripping over it he attacked Daeson leaving him bloody and near death having to be physicly pulled away from the other student. Luckily since Kira was acting in self defense his punishment was light compared to the dismissal that Daeson got.
While attending the summer solstice festival he saw the most captivating creature swathed in clinging black pants and a light airy shirt that both covered everything yet made it seem that more sensual by doing so. He himself was wearing pants and nothing else but his wrist sheaths. When he discovered her name Nuve he had to talk to her.
When they finally got a chance to talk he realized that not only did she possess stunning beauty but an amazing mind behind those captivating green eyes that called to his soul. When the festival ended he told her that he would meet her again soon.
After their meeting he could barely pay attention to his lessons until he met his Nuve again. This chance came very soon while he was bartering in the market she appeared in a stall buying fruit. It didn't take long for the two to finalize their love and married.
After a few more years Kira was made a full member of the Daggerspell Guardians and given a matching set of daggers that Kira helped forge creating a pair of beautifully wrought blades.
Each blade has a slight curve allowing for long slashes, but the tip is reinforced enough to allow for piercing strikes as well. There is a small emerald chip in the pommel of each knife expertly cut and engraved with two crossed daggers the symbol of the Guardians. The hilts are molded mithrial made to fit perfectly into Kira's hands. The blade has no crosspiece beyond a small protrusion of metal to keep the hand from sliding up the blade instead relying on speed and finesse for protection.
After becoming a full member of the Daggerspell Guardians they advised him to explore the lands of Ghelspad for a time to hone his skills and get a broader understanding of the people he will have to interact with. Now Nuve and Kiravethran find themselves traveling through the lands of Ghelspad searching for knowledge and experience to better serve their people. even when away from their forests Kiravethran makes plans with Nuve on how to take the hornsaw forest away from the titanspawn that have overrun his ancestral home.
After hearing of the mine in Deadwood Kira and Nuve decide that it would be to everyone's advantage if The Black Dragon didn't get a hold of such a resource and began to head to the village.
COOL! Kira's married! Awesome... Congrats to Kira and Nuve!!! :)
Any duel that SUNAMBER - Alaerin would agree to, would only be a test of skill... not a matter of blood. He would consider it very dishonorable to injure a fellow party member in challenge of skill or mere 'practice'.
He is very non-pragmatic... if he felt he had a disagreement with a party member over something serious enough that might lead to violence... his honor would tell him to simply leave and do as his conscious dictated.
He would only draw a weapon on a party member for violence if a life was in dispute, nothing short of that would make him consider attacking a party member, and even if he did attack a party member... it would always be to subdue... not to kill. Thats his personal sense of honor.
'Comrades in Arms' should NOT fight amongst themselves. Their lives depend upon each other. If that, trust and friendship, is not sacred and without question then one should find different comrades to travel with... for it will only end in unecessary blood-shed.
He is not an egotistical person. There are very few things in his mind that warrant naked aggression. Violence is the LAST solution... when all other have failed... and must be balanced with the question...'Is this REALLY worth ending a precious and irreplaceable life over?"
Kira should not tell Alaerin he is married to a party member... or he will gently refuse ANY request for a duel out of hand. His sense of ...'propriety' will make him decline out of respect for your beloved's sake. He would want no chance of any 'accidents', he would not forgive himself if he harmed someone who is a adventuring comrade, who was also married, in front of their bonded mate! Honor would place him at the mate's mercy if something unfortunate happened. He would not want that risk. He values and respects TRUE LOVE too much for that.
