Looks like everything is working again this morning. Yay!
FILE UPDATES
- Durin Wrang
- Foerth
- Meglin Dee
- Naya Forteller
...have all had their starting gear modified to account for the recent price changes to the amulet of mighty fists and/or adjusted to better suit their level.

How did you figure out Nicodemus' falling boulder damage?
By checking out the Fall Objects table in the Environment chapter. (Shown here in the PRD.)

Ravingdork |

But I'm confused is there a penalty for dropping objects from a higher point?
Range increment penalties maybe.
I couldn't find Nicodemus, could some one tell me which page he is on?
Nicodemus is Yiankun Lee's familiar. Look for her. Currently there are characters on pages 1, 3, 5, and 6 (though my settings are configured to 50 posts/page).

NEW CHARACTERS AND CREATURES!
Happy holidays everyone!
Red Mantis Assassin - CR 5 assassin for hire, generic low-level member of the Red Mantis
Sen Argyle Spitbeard - 12th-level dwarf corsair, rough and tumble dwarf whose adamantine great sword rarely stops its swing in only one body
Shisio Dafoe - 20th-level human frozen paladin, white robed figure of death shrouded in mystery that brings salvation to the helpless and destruction to the wicked
Sinaris Valon - 10th-level half-elf scholar, a transmuter that wields power on paper and whose scrolls hold more power than he does
Syrania - 15th-level halfling betrayer of heaven, a traitor that stole her powers from celestial-kind before throwing her lot in with demons
Tappa Nile - 15th-level human hexblade, warlock with a bad attitude and a meaner pick
Thelyn Cabor - 13th-level grippli conjurer, clever little wizard with an answer for everything
Vallairs Urn - 16th-level half-elf nature warden, druid of great power
Zwei - 16th-level janni, as deadly with steel as with magic
Well...darn. Seems I've emptied out my archive. The only thing I have left are a few player characters made by my friends and, seeing as they are still being played, they aren't really WBL appropriate (among other things).
I may add them in if I ever get around to making them consistent with my repository or reserved characters. In any case, I will continue to post additional characters and ideas individually for your viewing pleasure. Our Monday schedule is now at an end.
What's more, I now open up this thread to other people's character ideas.
Share one! Share with all!

interesting... i don't think you posted a single bard build.
I have a few bards on file (two to four I think), but they are all PCs built by other people. If I ever get them sorted to my stringent set of standards, I will be sure to add them.

How does Hama get a +4 to appear friendly, harmless, helpless...?
It's from her shawl of the crone.
Rowan was posted again?
That's odd. I was on the lookout for repeats. Guess one was bound to slip through.
EDIT: Fixed it...somehow. Somehow I was able to edit it 2 hours and 20 minutes after posting.
Forum upgrade? *crosses fingers*

By the way, I can't help but think that the inspiration for Hama, was Hama, the Southern Water Tribe Bloodbender from the 3rd season of Avatar the Last Airbender. They share some remarkable similarities, but are also different in many ways as well.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought this...

Ravingdork |

But my question is have any of the Evil characters here been PCs?
In order of thread appearance:
Daren Mott, though technically LN, was possessed by an evil intelligent magical item for a time.
Hama helped to start a civil war, which quickly spread to an all out world war specifically because of her many machinations. Up until she was lost (and presumed killed) in a great desert, everyone but her closest allies thought her a saint. Her closest allies feared her the most.
Macellano Alamander, though not evil in his own right, has hired his services out to evil characters. He is still in play.
Meredith Nerissa, though neutral, is driven by dark forces and is quickly earning an evil reputation in an online game now.
Nives Burer, a con artist without peer, has a past full of evil deeds, but began a quest of repentance shortly before his untimely death at the hands of a mad construct.
Paegin was an NPC that terrorized an entire nation before being put down by the PCs, twice. He also appears in a number of online playtests.
Grimm the Bear once encountered a strange magical orb that, when touched, permanently set his armor spikes aflame.
Remy was played by a friend who never once opted to use his sneak attack during the entirety of the character's career.
Sojo was borrowed by a friend of mine and was turned against us as an NPC--a techno-pirate-alchemist whose sky ship shot ours down with lightning.
Adin Lir, first-born heir to the first drow noble house (played by a friend) made the mistake of insulting the adventurer, Aleil Sylvari. She was later sold to Aleil Sylvari by her own mother to serve out the rest of her days as an attendant slave in exchange for an artifact Aleil had recently procured.
Aleil Sylvari ventured primarily through the underdark, played no less than five powerful factions against one another in a race to get a number of powerful artifacts, ultimately tricking them all and leaving them with nothing.
Esal Baily, made and played by a friend, betrayed Hama once, nearly to her death. To think that he might have stopped a world war...
Foerth slaughtered some baby boars once and fed them to the party. Later, they blamed him for bringing the mother boar upon them, resulting in multiple character deaths. Ultimately, he perished when he stumbled into a den of assassin vines.
Grey, played by a guest player to our group, nearly beat Aleil Sylvari with his scheming.
Grunk created an upset in the Abyss after assassinating a demon lord and disappeared shortly thereafter. It is said that abyssal merchants got to him before the demon lords' allies--something about the breaking of certain business contracts. Made and played by a friend.
Ravendark originally appeared in an epic-level v3.5 PbP game, where he took the part of High Shadow Adept on a Council of powerful interplanar archmages. Therein he rubbed shoulders with 50th- and 60th-level characters. He himself was only 30th-level. Despite the clear power difference, ultimately his machinations allowed him to seize control of the entire council throwing all the universe into darkness and despair for thousands of years.
Tappa Nile joined a sky ship expedition to fly from their floating island realm out into the Vadoum, a dark abyss from which none had ever returned. He was never seen again.
Zwei was a contender for the artifacts that would ultimately become the property of Aleil Sylvari. He was not diabolical enough to succeed however. He continued to adventure with her for some time after, despite their initial hostilities.

Can't believe I forgot Mad Meenus Sniiv. Created by me, he too was NPC'd by a friend and used against our party as a cult leader/crime lord. His cleaver took out every member of the party before reaching me, a wimpy spellcaster low on spells. I b1tch-slapped him with my last remaining spell: chill touch. He failed his save and went crying "weeweewee" all the way home.
No one at the table could believe my dumb luck.

I have numerous 4E characters I could post. I know most Paizonians don't care for 4E, but nearly all of them have story write-ups and may be useful for inspiration of character concepts.
Yes? No?
If I do, it will all be in a single batch.

Very nice Ravingdork!
So, do you mind if I grab a few of these builds for the Guide to the Builds?
(Additionally, this is probably not the right place for 4E builds)

Well, it has its place.

I so cant wait to throw that at a couple of my PC's. thanks again for the great resource.Paegin was featured prominently in several of my own home games. Check out some of these threads to get a better idea of what he was capable of:
My Campaign Outline (For added PC pain, throw in a few pugwampis)
Investigations of Heroes (No Pegin, but interesting nonetheless.)
Paegin's Introduction and Capture
Heroes Versus the Goblinwood (No Pegin, but interesting nonetheless.)
Paegin's Evil Infests the Heroes
Playtest Scenarios, With Paegin and Friends (Wholly unrelated to the campaign story shown prominently in the above links.)
Hopefully they will serve to inspire you and others.
Also, if anyone is interested, I have Paegin statted out explicitly as an NPC as well, should you be interested in seeing those stats.
Well i finally had enough time to sit down and go through all the Paegin stuff you linked RD, and i have to say thanks. Those were fun and inspirational reads. Definately cant wait to introduce The Wrath of Paegin in my homebrew.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The Fourth Edition Edition of Ravingdork's Crazy Character Emporium is now open!
If you play 4E, congrats, you just got a lot more Christmas gifts! If you don't played 4E, or hate it with a passion, I urge you to take a look anyways. Unlike many of the Pathfinder characters, every single 4E character has a background write-up, and thus may still serve as useful inspiration for new character concepts regardless of your preferred game type.

Hey RD, can you elaborate more on Zwei? First off he needs to be proficient with all martial weapons to even take a level in EK and as for his special abilities, I get the feeling he did not get a PFRPG transfer because it all looks pretty 3.5 still.
Also I really like how you remade Shisio, still have his original 3.5 Sorceror, Pally, EK build somewhere on the computer.

Zwei's racial HD make him proficient in all martial weapons.
What exactly makes him look 3.5?
And yes, I still have Shisio's v3.5 incarnation on file. He was absolutely BA--consistently putting the rest of the epic-level party, and everyone they ever encountered, to complete shame.
