Ya. Readjusting my line of thinking to take that into consideration and I realize my ideas were getting further away from what was intended.
At one point I was trying to create a construct with vastly superior weaponry and at another point I realized I could permanently transform into a Gelatinous Cube and go around as a sentient, talking, magical jello, but that was all becoming very "out there."
So new direction that I am going is to create a blindingly fast UMonk :)
So he will have things like Wind/Lightning Stance, Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack, Abundant Steps and Dimentional Agility, ect.
However I ran into an unclarified chunk. That is using an AoMF with the Speed enchantment on my fists, because Fast Fists :P
My assumption is that you only get 1 extra attack from this but after reading it and realizing that I have 2 unarmed attacks its starting to really sound like I get 1 extra attack per weapon (fist).
Ditto the question if I have 2 weapons with the Speed enchant on each.
My assumption is that I get 1 extra fist attack and thats it, am I correct?
Only thing odd about this guy is the one 3pp feat and his race. Other than that he's a fairly standard invincible barbarian.
Just asking but did we get am end date for recruitment?
Ok, reading through all this and I think it sounds fun.
Are applications still being accepted?
If no, enjoy yourselves! I may check in occasionally just to see how it goes.
If yes, I have a few questions.
1) Is this going for maximum power level 12 characters or maximum wierdness level 12 characters?
(Personally I would like to see max wierdness since level 12 characters should be able to dance through the first books no matter what. Then later they should still be up above expected in terms of equipment.)
2) Is VMC allowed?
3) Are hero points to be used?
4) Are firearms allowed?
5) Good guys, bad guys, or just mercenary guys?

And here he is, Maka, the half-giant brawler. He's just a big brute, think of Fezzik from the Princess Bride, you'll probably get a hit in on him, but then he'll clobber you for being a bad guy.
If you're having trouble seeing his character sheet just let me know and I'll attach it in a spoiler here.
Since my last idea was vetoed I've done a lot of research looking for a fun idea and I think I may have just come up with a good one. What would you say to a Half-Giant Brawler with a specialization on power over speed.
Well since I am creating a Human UMonk with an emphasis on blazing speed it should be pretty interesting if we both get in :)
Also, I cant seem to access your sheet :(|

Hmm... Not seeing a divine caster in the list so far (I might have missed it). So I will put together something of the sort. Looks like plenty of melee. So primary caster. Are both of the telepaths gone or just one? If both, we might need a mental controller. Looks like we have attack caster and diviniation covered, so maybe a debuff caster. Well, we won't need to debuff anyone for a long portion of the campaign so maybe that is a waste. Maybe a SoS caster.
Probably not druid since I don't think we need animal companions or summoned allies. So I'm thinking shaman, cleric, or oracle.
Ooh, or maybe I forget all that and bring something like a cave druid with his oozes.
Is drow noble allowed for race?
What about an awakened animal?
As Ace seems to be saying he wants little over powered 3pp PCs, I dropped the Psionic PC, and went with warlock that has no mind telepathy.
A healer would be good, he can heal Toxic and stat DMG.
My warlock is a combat blaster, and infiltrator, with some support stuff.
Very high Cha and some skills. I see her being the face in public and sneaking about blasting stuff at range. Close combat she is none to good.
But a am still seeing a big transposition hole for the party, at level 12 we really need someone who can teleport the party, its such a same Ace is not keen on 3pp, a Telepath would have aided in group combat so much.
Humm... I have an idea.
GM Panic here, I noted that we are missing a hard core healer, So had another idea for a PC, a dedicated "party" healer. With the cool group telepathy that is so good in combat, So A Vitalist - Soulthief [L12] I have made, Now I took the Drow Noble race, [Yes I know its high powered but hear me out] The race dose not make her a Kill bot and lets her concentrate on Her powers of keeping a party alive in combat.
She can use a bow, and has the odd power but her aim is to heal and keep the group well and stop them dying. At level 12 with a good chance of a "One hit kill" I think having a Vitalist is a must.
Her is the core of the PC, I will flesh her out some more.
I think I'm going to pull out of this one. A different game came up that this character fits better.

If a creature with multiple natural attacks (such as bite/claw/claw) wears an Amulet of Mighty Fists with the speed property, does it get one extra attack with each of its natural weapons?Ya. Readjusting my line of thinking to take that into consideration and I realize my ideas were getting further away from what was intended.
At one point I was trying to create a construct with vastly superior weaponry and at another point I realized I could permanently transform into a Gelatinous Cube and go around as a sentient, talking, magical jello, but that was all becoming very "out there."So new direction that I am going is to create a blindingly fast UMonk :)

Ditto the question if I have 2 weapons with the Speed enchant on each.
My assumption is that I get 1 extra fist attack and thats it, am I correct?
No… mainly because that combination is way too good for monsters with multiple attacks, and gets better the more natural attacks a monster has. Doubling a creature’s attacks per round is really powerful, even for 80,000 gp (the price of a +4 amulet).
So you only get 1 extra attack, total.

Ok, I'm going to assume for maximum wierdness for my submission. Since I feel it will already be incredibly easy starting at level 12, that will allow me to explore some really bizarre options without having to worry about failing.
A) Gathlain (Leshy) Druid Leshy Warden - Leshy/plant theme
B) Mite Cave Druid - Turns into an ooze whenever possible
C) max bloodlines something
I know this is late in the game but hear me out. Instead of going completely nuts and throwing some level 12's at the poor CR 1 monsters and NPC warriors in the beginning of the campaigns, why not add a handicap and see what kind of difference magic items make to high level characters. What I am saying is let's make them all retired level 12 characters. They've given up the vast majority of their fame and wealth for a simple life of relaxation. But s!#! hits the fan and they have to come out of retirement.
Idea:
Everyone is middle aged or older. (Been around the block)
Max two masterwork weapons. (Self defense. +5 Holy Avenger passed on to young blood or donated to church)
Max one masterwork armor and shield. (Same)
Max 5 potions and scrolls of 50gp or less. (Healing potion or 2 for emergency)
No magic items (Sold, passed on or donated to good cause)
No mundane item over 100gp (you can have your artisan's tools but no mansion or ships. Simple life)
No extra spells except what your class and feats provide. (Sold, passed on or just forgotten)
Here's my submission for the game. He's a Zen Archer, basically. I wanted a little more flavor, so I chose Wyvaran for the race - but I'm not married to it. The character would work as many other races.

Okay, here's my throught for joining this romp. He's a spiritualist who I made for a Strange Aeons campaign. Unfortunately I didn't get in. GM loved Bill, but too many people applied so friends got in first.

Well, yeah. The phantom is literally a fragment of Bill's personality split off by some horrific eldrich horror he witnessed (maybe) while running an inn.
The idea, as I recall, was that Bill forgot he's a kitsune. So he always stays in human form. Will on the other hand looks like Bill should in his natural form.
If that doesn't fly I have a new idea. I am going to try and make a kobold a decent front-line fighter with the Dragon Fury Prestige class from Path of War.
Where is our fearless leader Ace Matthews? My servants are assembled and await to follow the horns of war!
When shall I feel puny weapons bounce off my flesh?
Hopefully soon! :D
Sorry guys, had a bout of insomnia this week that made it very hard to focus or do anything outside of work hours. I got some sleep today though, and I have this three day weekend off. I'll be in contact with Corsario with my votes on the party. Also, I'll post my build for the Kensai Magus known only as the Captain as soon as I get it looking decent.
Ouch! I know what that's like.
I think I am going to with draw from this one. You folks have fun.
Well Rosa is done, One Cleric party healer.
cheesy crust I hate spellcasters. I may give up on this and make my favorite class anyway. Regardless I'll have my build up in a day or so.
Well ace if your not going Spell caster,
Lady Dizit Sama is has a real use, but then again so does Rosa.
Betting my retired adventurers idea is out. But I saw an earlier post from Ace that suggested 3pp might not be considered. So will Path of War be allowed. I had an idea using the Dragon Fury prestige class for ridiculous damage while two-weapon fighting. Now I want to down grade that by making a kobold with that prestige class to see what he could do. I think I have a decent backstory as well. He's going to be from the Sootscale clan from kingmaker. After stopping Tartuk many of the tribe attempted to become adventurers like the ones that saved them.
Hey Ace, it might not be overly important that you finish your character fully before you select the party. People will need some time to finish fleshing theirs out, as well as Corsario to set up the game, give the introduction and all that.
I've given my input on selection already, Corsario can make the call and the campaign thread as soon as he likes, but I believe it might be a bit while we discuss.
Here is what I have so far for backstory. Still building though.
Then the hero's came. They were strong, stronger even than Tartuk. Stronger than the cursed mites. Tartuk attacked but he stood no chance. It was over in the blink of an eye and the chief was the chief again. For now. Fyrenmar thought the hero's would take over as Tartuk did. But they did not. They offered peace, trade and eventually an alliance. With Kobolds. They were very weird.
The weirdest was the scrawny human. Even Fyrenmar could tell he was a runt compared to the other humans. But he did not fight like one. When he finally got close to Tartuk, he hit him so hard he sent him flying across the cave. Where did one so small find so much strength? And more importantly, could Fyrenmar gain this power too? They did not leave immediately thankfully. They stuck around for a feast. And with the help of one of the other hero's, Fyrenmar learned that small man's strength came from something called "martial arts". When they started learning Common to speak to their allies, Fyrenmar learned the words "Can you teach me" first.
And he did. Again with the weirdness. He taught little, weak Fyrenmar martial arts. His favorite discipline obviously became Thrashing Dragon. Oh to fight like a dragon. Some kobolds were born with many powerful draconic powers and features. The human said that through hard work, disipline and training, he too could attain that power. That was all Fyrenmar needed to here.
I'm pulling out form this, I just get the feeling this may have broken legs before it even starts.
But Best of luck guys.
Pulling Lady Dizit Sama and Rosa from selection.
I think I'm going to drop out as well, just not really seeing a cohesive group that involves me coming out of this.
I'm withdrawing interest too, it's been 3 weeks of recruitment, I doubt this is going anywhere. Interesting idea nonetheless.
Well then.
I am.
