RPG Superstar 2010 Top 16

Oh, stop that. You knew somebody was going to raise the topic. I figure it ought to be in a spirit of open inquiry, right away, rather than a whining post about how some jerk of a GM at a convention wouldn't let the poster play his android gunslinger.
So, the Inner Sea Bestiary has a few CR 0 races that gain hit dice through class levels: androids, the delicious ghoran, the lashunta from Castrovel, and the lofty Syrinx.
Anybody want to make a case that any of these would be super cool as player characters and should be made available with a convention boon?

Not knowing what these races are, I'd rather see playable Kobolds, they are after all getting a splat book.

I will let Andrew know that you offered him a Kitsune. His head may implode though :D He may offer you a kidney Chris!!
Dunno about a kidney, but yeah I'd trade if I had anything to offer. Only been playing since June in PFS. So got little to trade.
I could offer you one wicked little VC though... He won't play his Gobbo in my games.

I would love nothing more than to get a chance to play a Sorceror Kobold! hehehehe
Maybe more along the lines of a Kobold Sorcerer(Kobold Bloodline) 4/Rogue 1/Sleepless Detective 1/Arcane Trickster 10
+2 DC and sneak attack damage against flat footed enemies with your spells, so very tempting, of course so difficult to actually get to level 16, especially on a race with a total of a -4 race bonus.

I'd be willing to send my Kitsune boon as well with nothing in return. I've got the Kitsune/Nagaji/Wayang boon and I doubt I'll play a Wayang.

Ahem, back on topic...
I'd like to see them be scenario boons. A scenario that takes you to the techno-dungeons of Numeria opens the android boon, raiding hte temples of Syrnix gives you the race boon, etc.
(And Mike I beat you to the 2112 joke on another thread. Though a Syrnix bard that plays the guitar calls to me.)

You sure you don't want a (slightly) abused VC? One known as James 'I promise I'll play Mince in a game you GM Andrew (but don't!)' Apostolou.
Though he does have some redeeming qualities. He once bought me TWO pints of Newcastles. And he does GREAT goblin impressions.
Can I play as an annihilator?

I hope the first Numerian PFS scenario involves the Pathfinders needing to pick up a job as Golarion Blade Runners on the Numerian border. There's so much awesome potential for a bunch of Pathfinders equipped with a weird detection device, trying to locate and hunt down three ultra-powerful androids that look just like humans.
hmmmm so then do Androids really dream of electric sheep?Here's hoping for getting a ratfolk boon. Ratfolk are cool.
Or an android witch with a sheep familiar.
That depends on whether they sleep or not, they are immune to sleep effects. An android witch can't put herself to sleep! I don't think they feel strongly one way or the other though, they're emotionless!
Thread necro though, I'm sure the world's moved on a bit since 2012.

But how would you make it electric?
But, as far as race boons, I happen to know of a couple folks that would love to see Androids as a playable race in PFS. Me, I'm fairly indifferent.
If I don't manage to get that boon, however, the character will likely end up a Human or Half-Elf.

Clockwork Familiar would work! Its even got a little electric bite attack.
Personally, I'm cool with opening new options to players, but no so cool with reserving them.
I understand the need to draw players to cons, I just hope they open more races to those of us who would LOVE to go to a con, but simply cant manage it.
I wouldn't put my money on it. Pleas like that are normally ignored and responded with "Well you can just get one from someone else!" or the like. Not a fan of that either.
Anyways, hopefully you can get your hand on a boon you need. I'd give you one if I could, but I haven't gotten many boons of my own and what I did get wasn't race boons.

I appreciate the thought :) Who knows, Maybe i'll dig one up somewhere, or when i'm done with the last book I could try to trade off the full Pathfinder Books one with the Permanent boon.
It has been my experience, in the area that I game and the circles I associate with, that if someone you know gets a boon that they don't intend to use, if you can give a good pitch, many people will actually hand off a boon just to let you do your thing.
I see kitsune boons getting handed out like candy at <insert any given corporate driven holiday>.
If you have something to offer, be it boons, services such as painting miniatures or drawing characters, or even just eternal gratitude, I suggest heading over to the Boon Trading thread.
I've wanted to play a Kobold since the dawn of my gaming career, and I have NEVER been allowed to do so for varying reasons. It'll never happen in PFS, and I recognize that, so I've just kept the idea in the back of my head for when the opportunity presents itself. And, lo and behold, a friend of mine is about to start GMing one of the AP's and gave me the thumbs up on playing one! Woo!
If you have an awesome character concept that won't work with the current rules set of PFSOP, you can present a case as to why you think you should be allowed to do so, but don't whine if you don't get your way.
Save the character idea for a home game, or adapt it in a way that you can actually play.

What's that sound like anyway? Anything like it is in my head? "Hey, you look foxxy! Have a kitsune boon!"
Playing in a homegame is the best way to get what you want sometimes, not the worst suggestion so long as you don't force it and say it like it excuses anything in PFS ever.
