Hi everyone. We've lost a few players in the past few weeks, so I think we're looking to hire on some extra help, so to speak.
We are 5th level now, and here are the creation guidelines:
-20 point stat buy
-Max hit points at 1st level.
-2 traits (non-overlapping) You can choose a background trait from the Player's Guide if you like, but it's not mandatory.
-Average starting gold according to class
-No evil alignments
I'm not exactly sure how Megan wants you to generate hitpoints for the other levels, but we've been rolling them during character level.
Our current characters are:
Myself, a CG crossbow weapon master/sniper rogue.
Asherick Whiteplume, a LG paladin of Iomedae.
(Mildly irritating if exposed to eyes or mouth. Do not eat! That burning sensation is paladiny goodness.)
and his less irritating sidekick Majenko, a pseudodragon (bound to serve for a year if I remember correctly).
Shakhan, a N savage barbarian.
(Keep your arms and legs away from the barbarian at all times. I won't be held responsible for lost or damaged items.)
We recently lost:
Hytogg, a NG human wizard (illusionist)/cleric of Nethys who was called away when an Ustalavian peer passed away and left him unusual instructions in his will.
Varrel, a NG half-elf magus. (Who I think has now devoted his full time to freeing slaves.)
Diggle Spindlewell, a CN gnome sorcerer who sometimes did rather strange things. (But that's CN for you.) (I'm not exactly certain what happened to him.)
So I think we're looking to boost back up our divine and arcane support.
Posting Times: Megan has a demanding position as a University professor, but so far we're all getting along with posting, just remembering to take that into account.
Roleplaying: In quite a few times so far in the campaign, we've managed to have volatile arguments (except for Shakhan, who just stayed out of it), due to alignment differences. (It can be fun if you don't internalize the argument too much, which I admit to being in danger of doing once or twice.) So, just be aware that, if you join, some of our characters already have developed... chemistry? animosity? Or course Una prickles against just about everything. Anyway, if our other players or DM want to say something I'll step out and see what's going on.
Or feel free to read for yourself. The Discussion Board and the Gameplay Board.
We just started the second book of the Campaign, and have discovered a deadly plague (the paladin can fill you in on the details) being transferred by cursed coins. We've finally found the girl who had discovered most of them, after a plague ship was sunk in the river, and we are discussing what to do next.
Would you like a goblin flanking buddy who is CN(g) and pretends to be a halfing?
I think preference will be given to full arcane and divine casters, but you're allowed to submit whatever you want. :)
How about a NG female Halfling 4th level cleric of Shelyn and 1st level bard? I'll work it up behind this alias.
Registered? You mean as a Society character? No. Its not PFS, just a PBP. :P
I think preference will be given to full arcane and divine casters, but you're allowed to submit whatever you want. :)
(MannyGoblin here) Well I do have an aspiring ice sorcerer who attempted to join a Second Darkness game. I will level him to 5.
As for races, classes, or archetypes, I'll let Megan answer that one. She's read quite a bit of 3PP material, so she might let you be just about anything.
Presenting Agatha Threepwood, human sorcerer. Details on profile.
May as well put my hand up - I am a man in his 30s, not a woman in her 50s, so this might be quite a challenge for me RP-wise...
Should we take average wealth for level 5?
Lots of enthusiastic response. I hope you like what you see of our game.
There is a Grand Temple to Shelyn in Korvosa. Yes the avergae for our level as per the Core Rules.
And the city has a Rich Varisian culture plus the Acadamae.. so s sorcerer would fit right in.
Edit, Buron isn't going to fit your needs.
I will submit Beor. A rather sturdy dwarven cleric.

May i present Ebonnard Raloon, my human Chirurgeon(heals through the use of potions) Alchemist :)
All the info is on my profile
Ps: I ended up having a lot of gold left over due to the large amount you start with, i just bought what was necessary and stopped there. I didnt know how you guys wanted to handle the rest of the gold. I didnt want to go buy a bunch of masterwork weapons and armor or magical equipment without talking to you guys first :P
Here is Kryas Sitora Half-Elf Cleric of Pharasma I am still working finishing up a few things and need a Guide for Equipment and starting gold.

I'm not sure how well-made he is going to be... Never played one before.
The key points are that at this level he's got neither animal companion, nor wild shape. So the only option is going caster. At the same time, he's got a few extra skills that druids normally don't have, so they are going to be his secondary focus.
He will try to avoid summons which are out of place in a city, so that we don't have a rhino rampaging on the streets of Korvosa. His summoning will be mostly confined to elementals and swarms.
He is going to help in removing the negative conditions, but the actual HP healing will be limited and mostly provided by wands.
As the character joins after Lamm has been dealt with, I didn't take any campaign traits for him.I've made a draft of a profile here. Haven't finished writing the background yet. Tomorrow I'm going to a gig after work, so I wouldn't be able to finish him until Tuesday night.
It will be interesting to see finished, espcially in gameplay :)
Ranvar, wealth is average for 5th level characters, as per the rules for character advancement.

Yes i know :) thank you. I know these questions must be aggrivating and im sorry to keep asking... But as for available equipment to buy??.. because a character of 5th level will receive 10,500 gp and well i have no idea how to spend all of that without buying high end armor/weapons or magical equipment. I know some gm's are very restrictive on what you can and cannot buy and i just wanted to know what is available for us to purchase :). sorry for the inconvenient annoying questions... :P
You can buy anything you want with that, I'm pretty sure. If you think there is something you want that is overpowering, or imbalancing for the party dynamic, you can always ask the DM. I'm sure Megan will be glad to tell you if something is not appropriate.
Edit: Probably no artifacts, unless you have a good reason for having it.

I give you Beor for consideration.
Apparently you just pasted the test. Hello he says with a scratchy deep bass voice.
Beor was raised like any other dwarf, but battle always called to him. He was decorated on the field for his skills as a medic. From there he was inducted into the holy order and has since sot adventure where he can find it. Horror struck when he lost a true friend while battling bat riding goblins. Beor has since traveled from one place to the next, the loss always spoiling what peace he can find
The tattoos creeping up the dwarf’s arms are the story of his life and the teachings and battles of Angradd. The body art appears as swirls or geometric shapes revealing small pictographs up close. They are magical in nature as per the trait Birthmark.

I just took average HP, I can roll them if you like.
Edit: When Beor heard of an outbreak of disease he heeded the personal call at once. There are many ways to battle evil. Sometimes its with an ax sometimes its with your skill.
Edit. All the important bits done. Grungy, ugly ice sorcerer Icabhod ready for service!
Here's a rough outline of my submission thus far.
Name: Arduino the Lesser
Race: Human
Class: Sorcerer (Sylvan)
Alignment: Lazy Good (Neutral Good)
Role: Arcane caster (Enchantment specialist)
Background: Arduino was born as the new scion of the line of Poggle, a great family of Druids. Members of this family took on the responsibility of becoming a warden of nature, a Druid, and were uniquely suited for this task; due to an age-old dalliance with the fey, Poggle blood ran thick with the magic of the forest. Arduino grew into one of the finest heroes of the forest, defending it even against the onslaught of the Worldwound and its demons, widely known as a great and wise man.
Sadly, his son would not inherit those same qualities.
Arduino the Lesser grew into a callow youth, rich with laziness and fickle will and poor in quickness of mind and connection with nature. Knowing his son was not ready, Arduino the Greater delayed his time of Druidic trial. After years of little improvement, the father finally gave up and sent his son out into the world, telling him to return with a connection to nature or not at all.
It has been three years since he left. Meeting other humans and being thrust into the fascinating new environments of Korvosa and other human settlements has done wonders for Arduino, though he still emits an outward image of laziness; whether that is his true personality or whether that is becoming simply a mask he wears requires further observation.
Personality: Lazy, idle, seems stupid but that is more due to bored ignorance than to any mental disability. On the other hand, due to his childhood he does have a good heart, and knows right and wrong, and someone too-greatly acting out the latter does disturb him from his haze of 'i-don't-give-a-crap'. He also has an emerging curiosity and fascination with the world.
Traits: Magical Lineage, Drug Addict (Personal)
Sheet made and in profile; let me know extra backstory I need to write to fit in with this campaign.
Any thoughts one when you guys will pick the winners? Or is this just open until you find the right two?
Reading through your game play and I like what I am seeing.
You mentioned a possibility of 3pp material and I want to see if that is actually valid. I have an Asterion Pugilist Grappler I've been wanting to play for awhile.
Pugilist is a different form of an unarmed fighter, that instead of supernatural abilities (like a monk), specialized into one style. Mine focuses on grappling, where I should be able to grapple just about anything at higher levels.
Asterion is kind of a weird race (I promise to make a good back story). Mainly I chose it because it's one of the few that gets +2 to strength and constitution (A pugilist really doesn't need anything else).
He is already built up to level 5, I'd just have to slap a background story on him if you think its ok.
Edit: Also, the build is assuming that his Iron Fist ability counts for Improved Unarmed Strike (the class doesn't specifically say that, but it seems redundant to me to have to take it)
The build I have him as is up: Minjaros Brightstar
Any thoughts one when you guys will pick the winners? Or is this just open until you find the right two?
Reading through your game play and I like what I am seeing.
I also liked your game so please let us know what the time limit is for submitting a character for consideration.
Also, have you given any thought as to how this new character (s) will be integrated to the current group?
Any hints would be appreciated to weave them into our backstory.
Thanks!

I second that :P. I tried to build some what of a story that would work into it. But its not the greatest
These may be foolish questions.
Is the game using Pathfinder rules, or 3.5? How long is Recruitment open? There is a CotCT Campaign trait in 'Varisia, Birthplace of Legend' (), would that be an acceptable trait? I have a Goblin Reincarnated Druid that might be fun or possibly a Halfling vanilla Summoner. Are either of those likely to be problems?
I'm sure Megan will want to see the character submissions. So as soon as we all have had a chance to look at submissions and vote, we'll let you know what we've decided.
As for a time limit for submissions, our game is pretty much on hold until we get the new characters (I think), so I would say Wednesday is the last day to make a submission, and we should have our selections known by Thursday or Friday. Megan needs to input here though. But that would be my suggestion.

Just like to throw out there that an alchemist medic is probably the coolest healer... I can give you guys potions at the beginning of the day and tell you to drink them when you need health.. i also am dealing 3d6 bomb damage that deal splash damage and on direct hit deals an additional 1d6 of fire damage... you know... js ;P
Without a sound the ear caressed the door. Inside there was shuffling and a mild groan.
What is that dwarf up to the boy wondered?
The lad could never know that a reoccurring nightmare plagued the warrior priest.
With a CRACK another goblin fell to the fists of the Halfling self styled prince. “Beor, are you going to start fighting or am I going to have to kill every one of these pests,” the monk asked? Beor couldn’t answer. He remembered that he had. What had he said? He didn’t matter Edmond was alive. He was punishing wicked goblins again. The battle, glorious!
Movement behind the Halfling caught dwarven eye. The warning shout caught in Beor’s throat as poisoned spear slid into ribs. A look of surprise on the Halfling’s face.
In a cold sweat Beor awoke screaming a name that no one but he remembered.
On the other side of the door the boy started.
Best find another mark the lad thought.
Beor could never sleep after the dream. Silently he began praying. Angradd give me death in battle or give me freedom. Torment me not with failures. Burn these feelings of guilt from my soul!
This is the Druid. I originally wrote her up for a Kingmaker game, there will obviously be some changes made to her backstory, but Mechanically she will be much the same.
Here is the Summoner. She was originally made up for a Shattered Star game. Her background will require less adjustment, her Parents settled in Korvosa rather than Magnimar & she found comfort among the Varisian sub-community there rather than among the monuments to be found in Magnimar.
I will make the Character Adjustments () tomorrow as it is quite late for me right now.

I can see your going to be a problem -_- here drink this "health potion" to make you "feel better"... :P
lol
@Ebonnard- You must be mad! There is plague among the folk. Heavy drink is not the will of Angradd when there is evil afoot. Aye win this battle and I will drink. Glorious will it be, almost as rightous as the victory itself. If you are looking for some cleansing Scion and I could aid you. Motioning to the ax strapped on his back.
Indeed the dwarf felt that Angradd had truly called him to this place. Disease is a wicked enemy after all, and the lord of fire has given me the power and the NEED to cleanse and to heal.
So, we have-
Kayla Adrianas- Halfling Cleric/Bard
Agatha Theepwood- Human Sorcerer (Arcane)
Ebonnard Raloon- Human Alchemist (Chirurgeon)
Kryas Sitora- Half-Elf Cleric (Pharasma)
Parneth Servias- Human Cleric (Pharasma)
Beor Kal- Dwarf Cleric (Separatist)
Ichabod- Human Sorcerer (Elemental)
Arduino the Lesser- Human Sorcerer (Fey)
Minjaraos Brightstar- Asterion Pugilist (3rd party)
Aka the Many-Lived- Goblin Druid
Yamyra Anafa- Halfling Summoner
Apologies if I missed anyone!

PFFFT!! i dont need some god to tell me to do good! My mere will and sense lead me here to cleanse this wretched place with science! FOR HONOR!
Aye the gods are cruel I give you. After all they have suffered me to talk with the likes of you. Sadly, you weren’t bred with any sense though. How could you have been? For if your sweet mother would have had any she would have saved her milk for the pig!
Having fun with this Ebonnard.
Gronk tells you, the end times are comming.
Gronk shows you, signs of the obliviation.
Gronk make you, believe all things die.
So says Groteus. So shall it be!
Half-orc, chaotic good, cleric of Groteus. End of the world, repent and be saved type of prophet.
