Pathfinder: The Haunting of Harrowstone
This is a call to arms! It is for those who are prepared to face the pinnacle of horror. Terror and misery are best friends. Do you dare make their acquaintance? Friendships often come with a price. Who upon the face of Golarion has forged a meaningful friendship with the good Professor Petros Lorrimor of Ravengro within the county of Canterwall surrounded by the misery and horror of Ustalav? The good professor retired from his teaching career 15 years ago, and moved to the small town of Ravengro. From there he has continued his research. His fields of study include defense against evil, secret societies and wizardry. Professor Lorrimor has traveled Golarion extensively, and he has met many different people from all walks of life. He sometimes sees value where others may not think to look…..
Step up and let yourself be known:
Describe your friendship with the professor and the good times you have had.
I am opening recruitment for One 1st level replacement character for this adventure path. I strongly recommend that you look over the players guide on paizo.com before deciding on the specifics of your character.
In order to apply, provide a character concept and a story about your friendship with the professor.
Requirements:
15-Point Buy
All player options within the Core Rulebook, APG and Ultimate Magic rulebooks are acceptable.
Anti-paladin will not be allowed.
You may choose two character traits from any pathfinder paizo book.
As a time-saving device, all player options must be referenced with a book title and page number unless that option comes from the core rulebook
Any other books are taken on a case by case basis. Non-Paizo Pathfinder books are automatically disqualified.
Max hp’s at 1st level. On all other levels players can choose to use average hp’s (for example, d10 = 5.5 hp’s per hit die, round down) or roll for them. You can choose between these two options every time you gain a new level, but you must choose an option before you roll any dice. You must indicate on your character sheet which option you used for each level.
Max starting Gold for each individual class will be used.
Weight of gear, encumbrance and armor check penalties must be indicated on character sheets.
Allowable races include all of the ones mentioned in the players guide. Any others are not allowed.
This recruitment is for just one replacement character. This game has only been running for a few weeks. The party is still at the tail end of the first encounter.
The party consists of A Fighter, Wizard, and Cleric so almost anything will fit in well with the party.
This game takes place on rpol.net, and Your character must be approved before you can begin play. Only after approval will you be given access to the game thread. I go over character sheets thoroughly in every detail. You must register with rpol.net and type/copy/paste your character into that site.
Oooh, I may rise to the challenge of going full core, if it is for the sake of convenience.
May take a few hours to bang out, as I've some ideas I need to set to the page for a game I am currently running, but...
Concept -
LN Human Female Bard
Ustalavian (Varisian) Noble
Devotee of Zon Kuthon
Controller type bard
Heirloom weapon for Spiked Whip proficiency
Combat Expertise
Improved Trip
working towards Dazzling Display
At low levels, inspire courage is actually better than bless...
May I ask what role the cleric has assumed? It will affect what manner of spells I choose.

Hi! and thankyou for your interest. The cleric is a follower of Abadar.
He has taken the Inevitable subdomain (APG) and the Defense subdomain (APG). He is limited to 2 channels per day and it seems that he is going to be memorizing defensive spells such as sanctuary and shield.You do need to know that undead are a large part of this module, so mind-affecting effects will not be of much use. I cannot comment on the other modules in the adventure path in terms of mind affecting effects. I havn't seen them yet. Also a devotee of Zon Kuthon is likely to become allies with the bad guys. This could be disruptive for the adventure path. You can follow Zon-Kuthon as long as you agree not to do this. Ustalav is full of evil inspired people so it does fit in with the setting in general.
Once you register with rpol.net, I will need your user name on that site and a case sensitive character name in order to add you to the game in general. Once Your character is approved I will then add you to the game thread and you may begin posting at your leisure. You will be allowed to step in and Introduce yourself to Kendra Lorrimor, the Professor's daughter. Simply give her an excuse for your lateness.
All of this will make sense once you read the gaming thread.
I had forgotten. My former RL group was looking at starting this AP and we had the silly idea of doing a Scooby Doo themed party, and has been some months since I looked at the Players Guide. Thank you for the reminder.

Her faith in Zon Kuthon is more of a personal devotion to the beauty of pain than a strict adherence to dogma. She is not evil, has no real evil bent, just a tad sheltered, with strange ideas of what nobility entails. As Machiavelli's edict - it is better to be feared than loved, she will play at being hard and lawful for the benefit of all, rather than championing Good over Evil. Some sacrifices must be made to ensure that order prevails, so I would hope that she and the cleric of Abadar would get along at least passably. Personally I abhor evil and evil characters, and hate party conflict. It distracts from achieving anything.
I never make a character I don't assume will not change at least somewhat through interaction with the party.

You did a great job putting your character together and showing me all of the things I want to see.
I saw a couple of minor things, but they are so minor that I really dont care about them.
As far as I am concerned your character is approved.
I just added you to the gaming thread and this is the link:
The group is currently finishing up their scuffle. That should be resolved in the next 2-3 days I hope. Anyhow anytime after the current encounter is over will be fine for you to make your appearance.
Have a great day, and we all look forward to gaming with you :)
