Radavel - I made a character who's been in LOngacre for about 10 years or so.... we can certainly do something with some shared background for that amount of time if you want to.
My character is a foundling by the name of Robert D'Longacre and he was raised by Asmodean Church.
Besides, his religious duties, Robert is a skilled scribe and cipher and is often called on to assist in the counterintelligence efforts of the Church.
Our characters probably met during those operations.

I'm suddenly imagining your character as a devil worshiping version of James Bond. Which is kind of awesome.
Do you have any worshippers [clerics or so] of the Prince of Darkness?
No, just Asmodeus.

I am somewhat interested in this. My character Alexander Malicdor, is a necromancer and is interested in furthering his goals with Cheliax. I signed up with him in a different pbp and was placed on a reserve list.
Will have to update him to the 25pb and a extra trait. Also will need to update his gear to make sure he fits. Currently away from a computer to update, will hopefully get it done by Sunday.
Question: bonus to initiative from Improved Initiative and Warrior Priest feats, do they stack?
Yes.
Updated Alexander completely in tune with this pbp.
All info is within the character's profile, and under the 25pb stats at the bottom of the profile.
Here he is, I am going to go for a blend of the exalted PRC and maybe the Diabolist, seems very devil worshipper to me :)

coolios. Color me interested.
Thinking of a few ideas:
1) aasimar(?) anitpaladin (or some other warriior type) with aspiration of hellknight (i know i know, but y'know why not?). could go an orc on this one. His tribe was slaughtered by the hellknights when he was still a mewling pup (or maybe older), he was taken on as a sort of pet project of one of the higher ups. They broke him of his natural chaotic tendencies and he firmly believes in the rightness of the hellknight cause. could easily take this guy intot he warpriest instead of antipaladin.
2) human rogue moving towards assassin or crimson assassin
3) asmodean cleric of some sort
4) a bard of some sort. He focuses on seducing the weak-willed and messing with heads. Then,he robs them blind, blackmails them, or frames them for crimes he's committed.

Background
The man known as Robert D’Longacre is a foundling, who was raised by the Church of Asmodeus. A devout and cunning follower of the First, Robert entered the priesthood intent on not only rising but becoming pre-eminent, wielding both secular and spiritual power. Robert rightly withholds his god’s healing touch from those who he deems less than devout.
Besides his spiritual duties, Robert also serves the Church as a scribe and cipher, which helps the Church in its various covert activities (blackmail, forgery, extortion, counter-intelligence, etc.) Likewise, Robert is a skilled combatant trained in mace and shield, ever ready to crack skulls and break bones in the name of the First. Finally, Robert is a likeable fellow amongst his brethren and he has founded a study group he calls “The Firstborn,” which he intends to use in his rise to power.

Go with 2 submissions if you like. Evil and Evil Lite (the Gunslinger).
Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
We be Goblin(?) Kings King Maker is seeking a replacement kobold to take the place of our gunslinger, at second level and barely started the AP.
If you are interested please report to the OOC thread of the campaign.
Yeah, we need a Kobold that won't vanish on us! :-)

1 or 4 seem the most interesting to me. Especially as I believe there is a new Hellknight supplement coming out (or is already out).
GM, can you use my Firstborn study group (see the background above) in the campaign?
Maybe. I try to incorporate player ideas into my games though with AP's it can be tricky.
I will update the submission list at some point this week so it is clear what has been submitted thus far to avoid duplication. That being said, I have accepted parties with multiples of the same class where I like the submissions enough.
I'll give the second evil character some thought. As for the We be goblins Kingmaker game, might be a bit complicated for me. Need to read over the materials.
That would certainly be an interesting adventuring party...
I loved that series! I loved my time in Rome near the basilica of St. Peters.

Personally, I really like evil bards, so I like that character concept a lot.
I personally have a bit of a weak spot for Achaekek's faithful, but I must admit that 1 and 4 sound interesting. Considering that there are also already at least 2 Asmodean clerics, 3 might be superfluous.
Alright, another official entry for the Hell's Vengeance campaign may I present Dimitri Valuto, a Mesmerist of Many Pleasures.

When are you looking to make your selections?
When are you looking to make your selections?
July 4th weekend.
Ok.
Hmm, waffling a bit. I'm leaning away from the original idea of using the Kyton Spawn Tiefling (It's a good idea still just the trait alone isn't 100% worth just single minding it).
That said, I am looking at making a Pain Taster (I know I know, Prestige classes blow..mew mew. Well, it's still an interesting idea)
I've settled into basing the character stat wise off a Rogue (Sharper) 3/Fighter (Unbreakable) 2. I'm having difficulty though settling on a race to build off of. Obviously it would benefit greatly from having +2 in dex (or more, though I'm thinking Drow noble is asking too much in a race. That RP is just too much) so I'm looking at those races. Dhampir, Drow, Catfolk are big front runners. (I've got a Catfolk that I've played in enough universes that this might be a good one to hook in with.) Thoughts...? I'm open to other options race wise as well.
There is another character that I've been rather intrigued in playing and an evil campaign is where he'd have to be for being a Barbarian (Flesheater). Cannibalism after all is evil ^^.

Dhampir or Catfolk would be fine and less work than drow to fit into the campaign I would wager.
Cheliax is civilized so the Cannabilism would work provided you don't just randomly eat citizens!
I like some of the PRC's. They bring some good stuff to the table.
I was looking at the Asmodean Advocate arcbetype, it gives up a lot I think for what it does.
Asmodean Advocate
Source Dirty Tactics Toolbox pg. 16
For the faithful of Asmodeus, the words used in a negotiation or contract matter more than their intent. The word of the law is to be respected, but loopholes and vague wording are part of every law. Asmodean advocates are master wordsmiths who ally themselves with creatures that—much like their words—seem insignificant but are treacherous.
Pact-Bound (Ex): An Asmodean advocate must choose Asmodeus as her deity and select the Trickery domain. She does not gain a second domain. If she ever changes her deity, she loses this archetype and becomes a normal ex-cleric. This ability alters domains.
Serpent (Su): At 1st level, an Asmodean advocate gains a familiar as the arcane bond class feature, using her cleric level as her wizard level. She must choose a viper familiar. The viper speaks one language of the Asmodean advocate’s choice as a supernatural ability.
Devil in the Details (Ex): At 1st level, an Asmodean advocate learns to choose her words so carefully that even when she says something designed to deceive listeners, the words are phrased to be technically true. She can use her Profession (barrister) skill for Bluff and Diplomacy checks. This benefit also extends to her familiar. The Asmodean advocate gains an insight bonus equal to 1/2 her cleric level (minimum +1) on Linguistics checks related to forgeries and on all Profession (barrister) checks.
Shoulder Devil (Su): At 8th level, an Asmodean advocate can choose an imp familiar as though she had the Improved Familiar feat.
Most of the cleric archetypes in Pathfinder are bleh IMHO
The fact that it gives a familiar (which is generally useful) that can talk (which is excellent) and becomes an imp for free (one of the best improved familiars) is already good. But then it also gives the equivalent of the bard's Versatile Performance and a scaling insight bonus to the skill that can be used for the two most useful social skills in the game is great. And on top of that, Profession is Wisdom based, so it essentially lets you make two social skills Wisdom based on a Wisdom based caster. And just to add icing to the cake, the domain it requires you to take is easily one of the best.
That is a wonderful cleric archetype.
actually not bad... in fact that's pretty damn good. All you really give up is one domain. I agree with kamenhero's assessment.

Looks interesting.
So far I have the idea of a Pact Wizard with the Ex-Iomedean campagn trait.
Family used to worship Iomede. Sibling got very sick, no aid from the church. Ended up needing a lot of money for treatment of sibling.
Found a place in Longacre, and a patron to help with payments. Of course, it all has a price...
Bound to the patron trough the pact, a long fall from grace started. Slippery slope arguments, doing bad things for the sake of sibling.
Depending on what the GM wants, either start not evil yet, or freshly evil, still leaning to neutral or good tendencies. Play up the fall from grace nice and nasty.
Pact wizard archetype doesnt add a lot mechanics wise. Evil/asmodeus things tend to do a lot with summons. Summons can be tedious even in real life games, and can be even more time consuming in play by post.
I'll see if I can whip up a statblock tonight.
How does the archetype compare to the Diabolist PRC?
|
|
You still get the imp, dont have to invest in charisma. As a wizard you get no nice extra things when you level up (except a few bonus feats, but those are a small sacrifice).
Diabolist is cool, but its powers mostly feed of charisma. Altough wizard is one of the few classes that hardly give up anything going in to the prestige class.
Pact Wizard
Source Familiar Folio
Some wizards make bargains with beings from other realms in order to gain arcane power. These pact wizards have unparalleled access to extraplanar allies, but these bonds never come without strings attached.
Familiar (Ex): A pact wizard must select a familiar for his arcane bond. The familiar’s loyalty ultimately lies with the pact wizard’s patron, and it reports back to the patron on the wizard’s activities. This ability alters arcane bond.
Pact Focus (Ex): At 1st level, a pact wizard must choose one additional opposition school, even if he is a universalist. A pact wizard can’t pick conjuration as an opposition school. This ability alters arcane school.
Pact (Ex): A pact wizard enters into a bargain with an extraplanar being in order to gain increased wizardly powers. At 1st level, he selects a patron belonging to one specific subtype of outsider for which there exists an improved familiar option (such as devil or azata). The pact wizard can select a subtype of outsider even with a diametrically opposed alignment; in this case, the patron being offers the pact in an attempt to tempt or redeem the pact wizard. A pact wizard whose alignment shifts away from the chosen outsider subtype, who grossly abuses his familiar or any outsider of the chosen subtype, or who commits egregious acts against the alignment of the patron loses all the benefits of this archetype (but keeps the additional opposition school) until he receives an atonement.
Aura (Ex): A pact wizard has an aura corresponding to the alignment of his chosen subtype as a cleric of his wizard level.
Pact Summons (Ex): A pact wizard can select Sacred Summons (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Magic 155) as a wizard bonus feat. He can use this feat only to summon outsiders of his chosen subtype.
True Form (Ex): At 7th level, a pact wizard’s familiar reveals its true form, automatically transforming into an outsider improved familiar of the chosen subtype.
So, not very powerfull, but it is very flavorfull. Make pact, get slowly pulled towards evil.
