Greetings everyone! This is a recruitment thread for a space campaign where, unfortunately, there was a miscommunication between players and GM, which resulted in half the group dropping. The remaining players will be playing with NPC recruits until 2 or 3 positions are filled. Here are some specifics about the campaign.
- Starting level 1.
- Any official Pathfinder race allowed; 3rd party races subject to GM's approval.
- Any official Pathfinder class; 3rd party classes subject to GM's approval.
- Any official Pathfinder feats, spells, skills, ect.; 3rd party material subject to GM's approval.
- 25 point, no scale ability score buy.
- 1 trait, plus 1 campaign trait listed in the original recruitment thread.
- Max HP per HD.
- Starting gold will be the class' maximum starting amount.
- Campaign will take place in Golarion's solar system, starting on the planet of Castrovel.
- The story starts in media reis with the adventurers arriving on Castrovel to explore an alien ruin in the Ocean of Mist, competing against a rival group to reach them first.
Any players that are interested in participating, simply post a character here, give a bit of RP background, tell me a bit of your playing style, and let me know what you would like incorporated into the game. There will already be alien technology, Aethership customization, the option for cybernetic implants, and various other space opera style bits of homebrew material, which I will have compiled into a PDF for players within a week or so.
If you have any questions about the characters or the campaign, simply post them on this thread and I will reply as expediently as possible.
Sounds interesting, color me in, have to think of a toon to fit in with twilsemail's answers.
Link to campaign traits within the original recruitment thread.
Can you provide a link to the original recruitment thread?
What characters are currently in the campaign?
Do you have any interest in allowing a Soulknife (Psionics Unleashed) with the Soulbolt (Psionics Expanded) archetype?
I am one of two current party members in said campaign. I can't speak for the GM but my charater is a Psion(Telepath) the other is a gunslinger so I don't think a soulknife would be out of place considering the planet were on is inhabited by a psioninc race and one party member is of a pisonic class.
My apologies guys, here is the link! http://paizo.com/campaigns/GMStarspannersPlanetHoppingCampaign/recruiting&a mp;page=last
Current characters are a human gunslinger from Alkenstar and Nebari, who has posted here.
Twilsemail, yes a Soulknife with Soulbolt will definitely be a fine player character. And good to see you! You get in WotW?
As far as I know we still need 2 people.
Of course there's room for you guys! Roll them stats on out and I'll put you in the game quicker than a Brethedan getting squicky with a gumball machine!
I made my own race for the game as well so as long as the DM approves go for it.
sounds interesting any room left?
There is room, so send in those submissions, I am eager to have more players!
Also, Dylos, were you planning on being from Triaxus, since they have the dragon riders and dragon cults? Just curious.

That or Golarian would likely be the best choice for a Wyvaran, though it seems that Triaxus is mostly cromatic dragons, and I was actually leaning towards a paladin of Apsu. Which I suppose still could work on Triaxus, since a Wyvaran Paladin of Apsu would be part of the war between the metallic and chromatic dragons, and most of that war would take place on Triaxus.
I also found the "maraquoi" of Marata interesting, but I wouldn't begin to know how to make them since all the information I can find is that they have seven genders, they are intelligent, and they are mammals, not even if they are humanoid or not.
The Wyvaran could be from a tribe of metallic kobolds on Triaxus, and the Kobolds could believe him to be a chosen of Apsu, maybe even Apsu's chosen - kobolds are a simple folk after all. They could believe the Wyvaran as being a sign of some sort, and this would ultimately lead the Wyvaran to becoming a paladin of Apsu.
I was considering a Hospitaler Paladin, but the thing is, Wyvaran's stats don't seem like they would make great Paladins, and Apsu's favored weapons are breath weapon or quarterstaff, and the only way I see of getting a breath weapon on a Paladin is the Eldritch Heritage (Draconic) line of feats. Of course, not having a breath weapon could also be rectified by being able to take the Draconic feats that the Kobold has access to from the ARG.
The main issue is with Wyvaran being a +2 dex/-2 int/+2 wis race, I end up getting boosts to stats that a paladin doesn't need and end up as something like STR 16 DEX 12 CON 14 INT 8 WIS 12 CHA 16 as a paladin, the stats are acceptable, but at the same time they leave something to be desired from a 25 point build, like um, skill points.
Plus I'm not entirely sure what bonus languages the Wyvaran would have access to, naturally they would start with Draconic, much like the kobold, but they might be missing common entirely, meaning I'd need intelligence to get either Elven, Common, or the Lashunta language, or I would need to spend the 1 skill point I'd get in linguistics to get one of those languages.
Basically I'm having issues with minute aspects of the Wyvaran.

So I decided to go with an warped aberrant sorcerer instead of a magus simply because i wanted something weird and otherworldy. I chose the Aasimar race for lack of a better fit. I wanted something that woud stand out of the norm but there are no aberrant races per say. I gave him the space diplomat traits because i felt the knowledge local would help in his archeologist/ancient ruin explorer side

--------------------
The individual that you see has a strange appearance to say the least. For instance, it seems that all of his body hair have been repalace by short downy feathers. The skin of his arms has a rigid look like the yellowed scales that birds have, His nails themselves are short black and seemingly pointy. His eyes are purple, pupil-less and very round and close together, his strongest feature though, the one that seems to create the most fixation upon those he meets would be his beak. Nodeozox is lucky to be blessed with parrot like vocal cords, else his dictation might suffer.
Nod does not know his own origins, he knows he was born like most people and not of an egg. He knows where he grew up, whom influenced him and where he was learnt. By origins he of course means his parentage. In effect Nod knows not whom his father is and if his mother is to be believed he was a virgin birth. In his quest for origin Nod decides to turn to the stars themselves. His appearance most aberrant makes him believe that there just might be a link between him and the void creatures.
Nod will begin his search in ancient ruins. After many years of studies of the planet Aballo, he feels confident that he might find a clue there. But first he must find allies for such an endeavour will be most assuredly perilous.
How does one pronounce Nodeozox?
Dylos, common is just common. For the sake of what it is, it is spacespeak so similar in structure and wording to Taldane that it is identical. Just trying to keep the linguistics simplified since there are going to be around 25 different alien species, each with their own languages.
Dylos, also, if you are interested in a Wyvaran, we can have you be a 'sub-race' with different bonuses. And if you want stats for the Maraquoi, I have made stats for all 7 genders! Each of the 7 genders has minute differences in ability scores and skill bonuses. Just to give you an idea, Maraquoi have a bonus to CON, a climb speed, a racial bonus to initiative and have an extra ability score bonus/penalty and skill bonus based on which of the 7 genders it belongs to. If you want those stats, just ask. If you want to modify the Wyvaran, just tweak the stuff you don't like and come up with a descriptive word beforehand, such as a Triaxan Wyvaran or a High Wyvaran and show me the racial stats.
Cymric, Aasimars are fine but if you want an aberrant race, just tell me what you would like and I'll create you a race. And I thought I had included Knowledge:Local in Space Diplomat but if I have not, then consider it added.
That's fine.
Posting as Xane to show some of the crazy I cant get up to when allowed. (^_^)
Otherwise know previously as " , "
Very much cheers to all.
How does one pronounce Nodeozox?
Very carefully?
Hi guys. I'm the other guy in the game at the moment. I like what you guys are comin up with and look forward to traveling the galaxy, meeting new and interesting life forms, and killing them with you.
Ok, so here's what I'm looking at for the modified Wyvaran.
Dragon 10 RP
Size
Medium 0 RP
Base Speed
Normal 0 RP
Ability Score Modifiers
Standard (+2 Con, –2 Wis, +2 Cha) 0 RP
Languages
Standard 0 RP - Draconic, Common - Bonus Languages: Elven, Dwarf, Celestial, Infernal, Abyssal
Racial Traits
Movement Racial Traits
Flight (30 ft., clumsy) 4 RP
Offense Racial Traits
Bite 2 RP 1d4
Senses Racial Traits
Darkvision 60 ft. — RP
Low-light vision — RP
Other Racial Traits
Prehensile Tail 2 RP
Total 18 RP
Here's what I actually changed, the ability modifiers, the natural attack (was tail, now tail is prehensile only and there's a bite attack instead). These changes made the race cost 1 RP more, mainly because I spent 2 RP on the bite attack so that it is 1d4 rather then 1d3. I didn't add a breath weapon because Wyverns don't have breath weapons, so I feel I should gain it the same way a Kobold would, through feats, though I decided to go the Eldritch Heritage route for the breath weapon since that one is stronger then the Kobold feats Breath.
And here is the character, the link directs to the character sheet on myth-weavers, hope that is ok.
Male LG Regal Wyvaran Paladin (Hospitaler), Level 1, Init +1, HP 14/14, Speed 30 ft Base / 30 ft Fly
AC 16, Touch 11, Flat-footed 15, Fort +5, Ref +1, Will +1, Base Attack Bonus 1

Masterwork Scalemail (+5 Armor, +1 Dex)

Condition None
I'll put the information into this profile later.
Cymric, that's fine, I was just wondering.
Xane, we can always use more players. Any ideas in mind for a character?
Valam Gos, the race is fine, since it does not go over 20 points.
Everyone who plans on playing, when can you have your characters done by? I am posting from my phone and will not be posting in gameplay today because of that fact, and am also going to hold off on posting in the space campaign until either when you have your characters ready to add to the party or Sunday, whichever comes first. You don't have to worry about having all your fluff together to start, you can always detail that later.
Was just posting to show my potential.
As for what I might play for you? No real ideas. I've looked through the character generation and such but Real Life is hitting me hard.
Two days off over the past two weeks. Not sure if I can keep up with the game/thread etc. Given your request of having a character ready for Sunday...upon which I shall be working another twelve hour shift. I don't think I can make the game. Sorry.
Wishing every one all the very best.
Dylos, that's fine. I'm looking forward to having you on the team!
Xane, unfortunate that you can't participate. If you want to perhaps join the game at a later date, just PM me and I can see what I can do in adding you to the game.
Everyone else working on a character? I see Valem Gos, but no others. I am extending the deadline to Wednesday on submissions, just to give everyone interested in playing a chance to submit their characters.
Also, Comma, *Salutes you back, space marine style*.
VERY interested. Lemme get a 1st level character together and I'll post it prior to tomorrow's deadline. I'd like to submit a rogue/pilot of a race to be determined. I only have the Pathfinder Core Rulebook and Advanced Race Guide, so will reach out with any questions.
How does this look? He's a Ifrit Rogue (pilot). I used the Pathguy.com JavaScript character generator. Not knowing about weapons, armor, & ships, I created him as if he were a normal Fantasy character, but can update as needed.

Dylos, since you are ready, go ahead and add your character to the roster. You will either be one of the unnamed comrades that were debriefing or the lucky sod having fun with the Lashunta. I doubt it's the latter given that you're a paladin, but at least you would have divine protection so to speak lol.
Gideon's Crumpet, your character looks sound and we finally have a pilot for when the group gets a ship! Go ahead and add your character to the roster. Also, see my comment to Dylos to see which option you would prefer regarding your character's whereabouts during the first portion of the game. Oh, and as for your character, if you want the bonus from Aethership Ace to go to a one handed weapon or a bow/crossbow instead of firearm, you can. It all depends on your personal preference.
Dylos and Gideon's Crumpet, if you want another way to be introduced, just tell me before tomorrow afternoon, because that is when we proceed with the game.
Though it seems you have your new players, just curious.... what does "25 point buy no scale" mean... specifically the "no scale" part?
No scale on point buys means that you put points in stats on a 1-for-1 basis. For example, taking a stat of 8 and raising it to 18 would cost 10 stat points. Many people use a scale system, but I make my campaigns more difficult on PCs, so it helps to counterbalance things. Plus, I just don't like scaling buys anyway, as they are mildly confusing and encourage extreme min/maxing or all around mediocrity. Just my ever so humble opinion.
