Regarding the caster/casting question... to me it comes down to grittiness and balance. If you want to be spitting up dust with every post - then stripping divine casting and connections to deities would do it... but that would also make the arcane casting types that much more powerful in the scenario. I guess, if I were DMing this kind of shindig, I'd leave the casters (all sorts) alone and know that the balance point would be that it is a small group of heroes, saddled with the burden of trying to save stacks of normals from a seemingly endless legion of undead. Yeah, the divine casters are going to hit them hard initially... but those uses/day run out awfully quick when you are using them to blast bad guys AND heal the locals.
That's just my 2 cents when I put on my DM hat.
I'm gonna have some fun with these.
@ Manx Serimus: Vermin are immune, so no rat swarms. The birds are the really scary one. Perhaps anything smaller than Small size is too small to be effected by the curse?

Your making me think back to Resident Evil 2 (the game, not the movie)
Freaking infected crows.
I have a good load of NPCs (all written down on 4-NPC sheets), including full families.
And I agree with stormraven those channels will run out fast, in an all undead apocalypse campaign.
OK, I'm going to put together a Halfling Rogue by tomorrow.
One zombie bites something, in an average of 10 hours, there are two zombies.
If a zombie can find something to bite (and why wouldn't a humanoid zombie bite a cat or dog?) they can bite 60 targets in one hour. Then in the first 10 hours, zombie 0 bites 600 targets. On an average of 10 hours, those 600 zombies are each biting 600 more, which is 360,000 targets, in the second 10 hours, those 360,000 zombies each bite 600 more, for a new total of 216 million infected zombies that will each bite 600 more (since they don't rest). Now we have 129.6 BILLION zombies, this is only 40 hours since zombie 0 got to chomping, less than two days.
Obviously it will be somewhat less than that since they will quickly overwhelm everything in their path.
Reports vary, one gives the number of rats in the us as about equal to the human population, or about 280 million.
This site, one of my favorites, gives a humanoid density in medieval times of about 30 per square mile, obviously higher in cities, with medieval london having 25-40,000.
http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/blueroom/demog.htm
This site gives a density of 12500 rats per square mile in london.
http://www.kgbanswers.co.uk/how-many-rats-are-there-in-a-square-mile-in-lon don/2311743
Moscow has about 84 dogs per square mile.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/628a8500-ff1c-11de-a677-00144feab49a.html#axzz1bq 4RABCu
So maybe restricting animals to small or medium would be a good idea. rats and mice might be vermin, but pigeons are not, ever watch the birds?
First, I am very interested in playing in this.
I have a few questions/comments.
1) How does the zombie curse interact with Eidolons, for that matter with summoned monsters?
2) If you are going to be doing a Zombie Apocalypse you have got to do something for head-shot protocols. I was thinking something like a head-shot ignores their DR?
For my character I'm thinking either a Summoner who's Eidolon is actually some kind of lesser servant of Pharasma that managed to make it to Golarian from the Boneyard to try & forestall the inevitable long enough for the gods to beat Urgathoa back, or an Undead Bloodline Sorcerer who has been phobic about his powers since they first manifested & has convinced himself this is all just some kind of delusional nightmare he can't wake from.
....
For those who want to be assistant GMs, there can be more then one, and can run player characters and GM if they want to and can RP a character as if they didn't know things the AGM knows.
I got whole NPC families and more all written down that I use for my campaigns. I even have Generic NPC aliases for PBP that are already being used.
I'll put my hat in for assistant GM.
Considering a ranger.
I was going to sit this game out and be content to lurk it... but now I'm really jazzed about the concept.
I'd like to submit an Aasimar Paladin, probably a Warrior of the Holy Light archetype (so none of them pesky divine spells) for consideration. She will be a fast mover - not an armored brick - and her behavior will be... um... 'unorthodox'.
Is there a problem with Aasimar for this campaign?
I'll pause on my character til I get an answer to my 3PP content questions.
I so want to get in on this. Like, really bad.
I also agree with Manx on that issue, If every living thing in the city was Undead, and aggressive it'd be almost impossible. That can be fixed pretty easily though. Like, what if getting bitten by a zombie outside your type only "taints" you with the curse, so you still zombiefy after death, but without the instadeath in 2d6 hours thing?
Alright, here's my character concept:
Aliquot Mufflemud was, until recently, a moderately successful thief who was quite content to make his way pulling small-time jobs for small-time pay. But after a brush with some guards left him half dead, and his partners abandoned him to his fate, he decided to go straight before his luck ran out. He tried his hand at performing sleight-of-hand tricks on the street for tips as "Mufflemud the Magnificent," but didn't have the knack for showmanship, and could barely make ends meet. Just as he was starting to despair, the first rumors of disease reached him...

By the way, are we rolling dice for HP?
And if i didn't say it before, toss me in as a wizard.
Roll dice for HP.
I'll go through posted characters tomorrow morning and speak with AGMs about getting an RP thread up an running so we can start. Those who have volunteered to be AGMs are accepted. Divine spell casters are allowed, but Positive Energy only does half damage to these zombies, not full damage (this includes Smite Evil). Arcane magic works as normal.
As for the suggesting about bites from zombies outside your type tainting you with the curse but not actually killing you, I like it. It has some nice roleplay potential. Anything smaller than Small size is immune.
Aasimar are fine.
The 3PP content is fine.
In this campaign a critical hit is a headshot, and kills a zombie instantly. Destroying the head is required to kill a zombie, but reducing it to 0 HP without a headshot causes it to become paralyzed, at which point a coup de grace (also an automatic headshot) can be applied at leisure, so headshots are not required to eliminate the immediate threat a zombie poses. A paralyzed zombie regains 1 hit point and is no longer paralyzed after 4d12 hours if not killed.
Summoned creatures and eidolons can be infected, but if they are dismissed before reanimating and not recalled for at least 24 hours they will recover (leaving the materiel plane dilutes the effectiveness of the curse heavily).
I'd like to join in if there is still an opening. I'd like to utilize 1st Bard or 1st Clr/ 2nd Gunslinger combo as either tiefling or human.
or
A Revamped version of Dragonrider (~!Copyrighted by SGG!~) i'm working on. I can post links for the google sheets I have if need be.
Sounds like it will be fun and although it may be difficult to play a gunslinger, I look forward to the challenge!
==============================
I don't mind being an assistant DM as have a lot of experience but it looks like you have plenty of back ups! xD So if you need me let me know~
...
The 3PP content is fine.

So All the resources I asked for are OK'ed sweet.
I'll run it through the randomisation system I use to generate characters.
@Azure_Zero: Lol is that an online system or is that something you came up with yourself?
An atypical Paladin for your consideration. I went with the PFS system for averaged HPs. If you prefer rolls or some other system, let me know.

Grey, the Lady's dog

The human wreck you see slumped before you no longer recalls his given name as he suffered a complete mental & emotional breakdown after realizing just where his arcane power seemed to emanate from. He has willfully blocked it from memory but comments overheard between himself & 'Purpose' the Pharasmin 'servitor' who is frequently found to accompany him hint a family tie to Urgathoan cult activity.
OOC: I figure some lesser Pharasmin managed to get just enough of an accurate prophecy about what was to come to try & do something about it but for whatever reason the only thing it could do was come down here & 'volunteer' itself as eidolon. (i.e. browbeat this loser into provinding it with an anchor)
As may already be obvious, this is my first attempt at taking part in a PbP campaign so please bear with me. Any suggestions/pointers, my contact email is in my profile. I would particularly appreciate assistance in how to post 'crunch' on the forums, i.e. character stats & suchlike. I will post a full write-up for Grey in the morning as it is around 2:30 am right now & I have to get my sun up for school tomorrow.

Randomisation system
take an even number of classes you want to play (a number of 2^n works best) and do a dice roll tournament (higher is winner and advance, tie=reroll),
then do the same to races you want to play(templates count here),
then do the same for archetypes, you want, of the winning class,
then randomise everything else, but the feats, skill, and equipment, and maybe a few other things (you need some order to make something usable).
A previous DM of my had a good gender randomiser, take two dice (d4 or d6)
and roll them, if both are the same ((even & even) or (odd & odd)) then female, if both are different (even&odd) then male.
I do this process for recruitable NPCs and misc NPCs in my games,
towns have much shorter lists of options to keep certain aspects of the town correct.

I'd drop the rule about summoned creatures being infected. No other action taken by summoned creatures has any effect upon i.e. They don't gain XP, can't take loot, can't die, ect.
A gunslinger sounds cool for this. I've got class in 7 minutes, so no time for it now, but how many players are we looking at and what classes are they playing?

It would lead to interesting characters, an interesting party and in a zombie apocalypse it'll have a more real feel to it.

-Stuff-

I'm not sure how you figure completely randomized character creation will give a 'more real' Zombie Apocalypse feel to the game. Also not sure about the 'more interesting characters' comment. I played with the Red Box, rolling 3d6's in straight order & you don't get a whole lot more random than that. You also don't get a lot more ditched characters than that trying to find ONE that will work with what the group is trying to do. My 2 coppers.
My difficulty with that idea is I have already started coming up with character ideas I am interested in playing. If/when Grey dies I will give serious consideration to the randomization idea.

I want to play a druid. I don't know how long the zombie plague has been going on, but I am assuming about 20 years. If it is not then my background story can be changed.
PS:It seems my story got erased from herolabs.
Short version :(
My character was a toddler when the forces of good lost. He has grown up in cities and forest as his parents moved around. He developed a great interest in nature, and this was noticed by Desna, but she wanted to be sure of his physical and mental prowess. She had a mantis attack him. My character defeated the mantis, but did not kill it. He instead opted to keep it alive. The mantis attacked him a few more time, but eventually gave up, and accepted its role as pet, which is quiet strange for an insect. This was not expected, but it did impress Desna so she blessed him with the powers of druid and made the Mantis into his animal companions.
He was then instructed to make his way to a safe haven, but my character plans to make his own safe haven if he has too, and reclaim the world from the undead.
The original story was a lot longer...
PS2: He is a male orc.

I am going to disagree with it feeling more real. The only thing I get to control as a PC is my character. I at least want to have that, and considering how dangerous this game will be I might not even get to enjoy that for long, but at least I will die with a character of my choice :). Having the dice give me a string of characters I may not enjoy is not something I want to chance.
I'm interested. WIll get back to you.
I am putting forward two different character concepts. Take your pick on which you would prefer and I will fully stat them out.
Fatima Naser
N Female Human(or Rakshasa-spawned Tiefling), Keleshite
Bard 3
()Reflect stats changes if tiefling
Str:10
Dex:16(18)
Con:10

Feats:
Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dance, Arcane Strike(minus this if Tiefling)
Skills: Profession(sailor), Perform(dance), Perform(sing), Diplomacy, Use Magic Device, Stealth, Knowledge(Geography/Local/History 1 rank in each)
Brief Backgroud: Fatima is a true Keleshite woman beautiful, graceful, arrogant, and passionate. She came to Absalom to see the legendary city and take all it has to offer. Ultimately, she wants to become a merchant captain with her own fleet. Once she becomes aware of the crisis, she will endeavor to lead people to one of the ships in the harbor, or anchored off the coast elsewhere.
The other submission
Einarr Bjornson
Male Human, Ulfen
Fighter 3
Str:18
Dex:14
Con:14
Int:10
Wis:10
Cha:10
Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Furious Focus, Weapon Focus, Improved Initiative
Skills: Survival, Craft(weapon), Profession(soldier)
Einarr is a devotee of Gorum. All he really desires is a challenging fight against worthy foes. Like his god, Einarr has no tolerance for cowards, or those who prey on those weaker than themselves. He is in Absalom to seek his fortune after hearing from a cousin serving in Taldor. Once the crisis hits, he will first try to get out of the city and then plan from there. He will try to protect those he finds along the way. The undead are evil things that prey on the weak; they have no honor.
I'm interested. WIll get back to you.
Sounds fun, but going to have to back out.
@Azure Zero: I love the randomization you got there, if you don't mind me using it in the future i'd love to steal a copy of your post. The town generator is a neat idea too =D
@Azure Zero: I love the randomization you got there, if you don't mind me using it in the future I'd love to steal a copy of your post. The town generator is a neat idea too =D
I don't mind.
It's a system that next to always give a result your Ok or great with.
Towns I do a bit differently, on NPC generation.
Make a list of jobs in the town, (group similar ones together, or ones that work together)
and make them a family unit (use a 4-NPC character sheets to hold the family data together),
randomise any children's gender and age, but base their stats on the parents, with 2d4 (or 2d6) for pushing and pulling stats from the average of the parents.
Any single (no married) NPCs can file up a spare or two 4-NPC sheets.
(these NPCs every now and then are recruitable or romancable)
I'm down with a randomized character, if that's what everyone/majority/GM would like, otherwise I was thinking Reach-Weapon Barbarian may be fun.
It's your choice for a randomised character build or a thought out selected character build.
My randomisation list

It's getting late, so I'll start randomising tomorrow.
I'll make a few concepts.
Hmm...So many character options, Part of me wants to wait for the new Kobold mag for the White Necromancer o.o Playing someone who wants to cure / save the Undead during the zombie invasion, would be interesting.
I'd like to throw in for this one. For my first go around, I'd like to try a half-orc sorcerer (verdant). I'll try to have a profile up tomorrow if you're still looking for players.

Rifleman's bulwark 40gp +4 - -10 50% 45 lbs.
Rifleman's bulwark
This heavy iron tower shield is a hallmark of the Hammerfall High Shield Gun Corps of Rhul. It follows all the rules for a normal tower shield, including needing the Tower Shield Proficiency feat in order to use the shield effectively, with the following exceptions. When using the rifleman's bulwark to benefit from total cover, the character can make a ranged attack with a rifle or pistol by placing the firearm on the precision-tooled notch and peer through the view port. The attack gains a +1 circumstance bonus to hit; with the -2 penalty to attack rolls that tower shields give, the total is a -1.
I didn't know if you'd allow Variant Tiefling Abilities and Features. From Council of Thieves Pages 64-67 or not so here is my guy thus far. If you allow the variants (which will replace his darkness 1/day ability) then I will make the appropriate rolls and such.

Up Close and Deadly +1d6 At 1st level, when the pistolero hits a target with a one-handed firearm that is not making a scatter shot, she can spend 1 grit point to deal 1d6 points of extra damage on a hit. If she misses with the attack, she grazes the target, dealing half the 1d6 damage anyways.
[spoiler=Haundo's Story]
Haundo, or Hound, was born a Tiefling and has lived a very hard life until he arrived in Absalom. He is eighteen years old and stands roughly six foot seven inches tall and has an unusually light build for someone so strong. unlike most of his kind Haundo looks more like a dog then a half fiend, he doesn't bare any horns, cloven feet or the smell of ash.
Instead he looked like a bipedal hound, with backward bending knees and pawed feet and fanged teeth. He looks akin to a doberman or Ibizain hound. Not only does he look and act mostly like a hound, he works like one as well. He serves in the Night Watch of Absalom, trying to keep the streets safe at night and crime down in the rough district of the city he was assigned too. Many times muggers, gangbangers and other criminals have tested his skills with both the blade or long arm. Most of these encounters end with Haundo's opponents leaving in a coffin. His ability to see in complete darkness has given him an advantage over normal humans and is something out of his fiendish heritage that he is thankful for.
He doesn't talk very much and when he does his voice is rough and gratty much like a dogs. So instead of talking he has focused on listening, watching and learning. His heavy armor makes him a hard opponent for most people to take down as well.
Let me know what you think~ Thanks!
Small, nervous, and exceedingly violent when provoked, Olog Rock-Chucker survived the mean streets of Absalom thus far.
A few million walking corpses aint gonna change that.
While I'm working on getting my sorcerer together, I have a couple of suggestions that occurred to me.
Since a crit counts as a headshot, taking down a zombie, perhaps a couple of things pertaining to accuracy should assist. For example, perhaps for each die of sneak attack a character has, add one to the die roll range for a crit for zombie slaying purposes only. If a character uses the deadly aim feat, for each +1 they take off their BAB, add 1 to the crit range as well. If you are a ranger with undead as a favored enemy, add +1 to the crit range for each +2 bonus you have vs. undead.
Just some thoughts. Thanks!

I don't like this. It adds complication, and makes the game too easy for ranger archers.
PS:I think the OP should finalize the rules, and pick soon before the crowd gets too big. :)
Having a big crowd just means he has more victims to play with ;D

I'd like to see someone take an archer, see how that works out for them after the first 40 or 60 arrows. :)

I was thinking about it if my druid dies. I was also going to take the craft skill that allows me to make arrows also though. In addition I was going to get a good melee weapon. I don't like the idea of only being stuck with one option.
