”This one was brought here in a coma a few hours ago. Its not what we normally do, but we haven't been able to make arrangements for a transfer yet.” You hear these words echo through your head for what feels like a hundred thousand years. Restrained by an unseen force, unable to do anything but listen. Only in the last couple thousand have you noticed that screams and sobs have overlain the words. Slowly the words fade, replaced completely with faint cry of pain that last for another hundred thousand years. Then silence... You scream, but nothing happens, you cry, but nothing happens. This goes on for years more, you hadn't thought you could be driven anymore mad than you already had been, oh how wrong you where.
The silence breaks your mind, at first its only fractures, then pieces begin to fall away. You forget everything about the time before the long wait. And then, just before your mind goes completely, you hear it. ”This one was in a coma before this stuff started, the other two are actually hurt though. If you can help them that would go a long way towards helping us out” The return of a sound sparks something inside of you that begins to corrode the bonds holding you down. A grim determination to break free that you previously thought yourself incapable of rises. All you know is that even if it takes another hundred thousand years you will break free from this, and you will find an answer for the long wait.

Hello everyone!
I have just recently taken up the reigns as GM on a Strange aeons campaign that our previous GM abandoned. As such, we need a new player to fill my spot. No particular roll is needed as I feel the party is pretty well off, so your class choice likely wont affect your chances. Here's the roster
What will affect chances is making an out of theme character. We all went into this wanting horror feel and I would like to see that reciprocated in your characters, essentially, spooky themed/occult stuff will have a small preference. That's not saying you cant play something a bit more traditional, just put a horror spin on it!
Anywho, I've rambled long enough.
~
Character creation!
20 PB
2 traits + Campaign trait
Drawbacks are allowed
All official Paizo material is acceptable
Yes even chained summoner
No third party under any circumstances
And remember, if you have an idea that doesn't quite fit within the bounds of pathfinder, I'm willing to work with you. So don't be afraid to ask for a concession on something to make your idea work.
Recruitment will be open until 9/16 at 12:00 pm EST.
May my decision be a hard one.
I had submitted to this AP about a year ago with a character who had basically Multiple Personality Disorder. To do it, I used the Vigilante. The 'Hero' persona was constant, and the one the Players interacted with at the start. The 'secret' identity was all her other personalities, with each one localized to a specific city or area.
What would you think of that?
Read through some of the posts, and saw that the group is level 2. Should we make them at level 2 or 1?
Also, what's are wealth?
Is evil allowed, I have always wanted to try an anti-paladin. Main focus is to get out of the asylum, and make the person/thing/creature/etc pay for using him as a "pawn/plaything/whatever goal it was"
--------
If Anti-P is not allowed, I was thinking of a Psyconaut Alchemist with the Mind-Swapped campaign trait.
Dotting....

Dot, this Is Vlad, the dhampir you PM'd .
I'm painting myself Interested, and figureing out what I'd like to play.
Most likely I'll shoot for something Occult, or spell-caster related.
Although Im thinking I may apply my old Inquisitor of Pharasma, with adjusted stats and such of course.
The living Grimoire has also caught my interest.

Class:
Inspiration (Ex): 4 inspiration points. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20.
The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he's trained in the skill.
Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator's pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Trapfinding: An investigator adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum 1). An investigator can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps.
Spell Casting:
A psychic detective casts psychic spells drawn from the psychic class spell list and augmented by a select set of additional spells. Only spells from the psychic class spell list of 6th level or lower and psychic detective spells are considered to be part of the psychic detective's spell list.
She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time.
To learn or cast a spell, a psychic detective must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level.
The saving throw DC against a psychic detective's spell is 10 + the spell's level + the psychic detective's Intelligence modifier.
She knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spells slots per day as a bard of her investigator level, and knows and uses 0-level knacks as a bard uses cantrips. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score.
At 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, a psychic detective can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows, using the same rules as a bard.

Good to see there's a good amount of interest here!
mdt: Sounds good, mental disorders are a pretty big theme so you'd fit real snugly into the feel of the AP
Gilthanis: I knew I'd forgot something STARTING LEVEL IS TWO. STARTING WEALTH IS 150gp.
On the subject of evil and anti-paladins, I will not say no, but it will be a Case by case sorta thing. I can definitely see a place for a heartless bastard in this AP.
Sapiens: Necromancy may well be the one thing that wont fly, our bloodrager has shown some superstitious attitude towards the dead. Not to mention undead are prominent enemies, so you may find yourself lacking in material.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
As the player of the Bloodrager in question, I wouldn't be directly hostile to a necromancer (but potential allies might be).
The reason I gave him the quirk of being superstitious and fearful of the dead is that nothing kills a horror atmosphere like PCs who aren't horrified by anything. Where it's "Oh, okay, we climb up the mountain of corpses, no big deal." Where PCs act as if everything is knowable and stattable to them. Where the horrific is just commonplace and taken for granted.
So if you want to play something that would be especially horrific in Lovecraft's world, Dervak might respond with revulsion. Obviously he won't flip out about everything.
GM Madman, do you want me to level Peyton up to 2 to have a finished submission? Otherwise all I have to do is throw a potion of CLW on there for the extra 50 gold. Let me know either way!
Hello all
Glad to see you got into another Strange Aeons game.
Looks like you have plenty of applications, but appreciate the pm.
Good luck all!
I suppose I shouldn't have spoken for you, thanks for elaborating Dervak.
Azih: Yeah, go ahead and bump'em up to level 2. Otherwise solid submission.
Done. No background skills in this game right? Will change that too. Assumed 1/2 HD +1 for level up HP.

Alright, being raised as a very pure and destined member of the church, Suluna was raised in hope to inherit a great power. In the form of a powerful magical holy text. Only yo discover that the holy text has been corrupted by the touch of a great old one. She is enthralled for a while, only able to break her curse after much time, destroying the book and setting herself free, however the church sent her away to help her cope... That is until something happened causing her to join with the group :P
Hello guys! This AP seems very interesting, here is my submission:
Ilia, a young Varisian woman of sixteen years old, who wears colorfull scarves and posses a sharp, muscular body. She could have been considered gorgous but the gloomy yellow light inside her eyes, her sharp teeth and her wicked smile make people uncomfortable.
As you can see in her statistics, she is far scarier than just a young human. She has no clue about what happened to her in the last years, but we can see a huge brand, mark of a slave owner, on her back. She does not know the origin of her shapeshifting abilities.
She only has a few memories from her childhood. She was considered odd, arrogant and sneaky by the other childrens, but also patient, cold-tempered and helpfull. The last true remembrance of her ealy years are the massacre of her clan by frightening Cheliaxians knights in heavy black armors. Who knows, maybe she will be able to find peace with the right company?
I was inspired by your instructions and the AP guide. I hope it is the kind of chracter concept you are looking for. It was written that it was important for the heroes to suffer from some sort of amnesia. I still have the gear and the background to flesh out a little bit, but the majority of the work is done. Of course I'm not planning to play her in any way that could hurt the group or the teamwork, even if she is evil. I think the countless hordes of ennemies will be enough for her to calm her anger towards society. For the time being, she worships the Reaper of Reputation. If there are any issues I can change whatever is needed. Sorry if there are mistakes, I am not yet used to PbP, and English is not my mother tongue.

Abilities:
Change Shape (Su) : A skinwalker can change shape into a bestial form as a standard action. In bestial form, a werecrocodile gains a +2 racial bonus Strength. While in this form, a skinwalker also takes on an animalistic feature that provides a special effect. Each time a skinwalker assumes bestial form, she can choose to gain one of the following features:
• Bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage
• Darkvision to a range of 60 feet
• Swim speed of 30 feet
• Ferocity (Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 300)
A skinwalker can return to her humanoid form as a swift action. To change forms and gain a different benefit, a skinwalker must first return to her humanoid form then use her shapechange ability again. A skinwalker can shapechange into bestial form a number of times per day equal to 3 + 1/2 her character level. Different skinwalker heritages (see Skinwalker Heritages on page 5) allow skinwalker characters to select from different sets of bestial features.
Brawler’s Cunning (Ex): If the brawler’s Intelligence score is less than 13, it counts as 13 for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats.
Martial Training (Ex): At 1st level, a brawler counts her total brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. She also counts as both a fighter and a monk for feats and magic items that have different effects based on whether the character has levels in those classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk’s robe). This ability does not automatically grant feats normally granted to fighters and monks based on class level, namely Stunning Fist.
Are you wanting actual backgrounds? The AP seems to seriously lean toward the backgrounds not known, or even roughly defined.
My reading was that the last few years were gone, but it's a GM call.
For my character, each personality is going to have it's own 'Background', with none of the personalities actually knowing who they are or where they came from. I like that concept better, and it fits with the AP I think.
What Dervak said, you can have backrounds it just ends with a 5 year gap and you somehow finding yourself here.
All good submisions with just a once over, will look at them in more detail after work today.
I have a vision of a broken woman, thrown into an asylum, a psychic.
Working on the fluff.
Backstory and fluff is done.
Well, I had some games not take off, as planned. I would be interested in throwing my hat in the ring.
Appreciate you running, Rinn!
I do need to make adjustments, if considered.
Thank you and hope to rejoin the craziness...

Appearance: Two things are easily seen about Niro: his fiendish blood and his Varisian upbringing. Whether it's his ashen, thick skin, his colorful kapenia scarf, his reptile eyes or the weathered harrow deck he constantly twirls in his hands, anyone could get this information from him. He's shorter than average and thinly built, his small frame and his unnatural skin giving him an appearance of sickly pallor that is contrasted by his love of colourful clothing, favoring blue accented with sun tones.
Personality: As with all tiefling, Niro is old beyond his looks. He was forced by life to be smart, cunning, and somewhat wise, but he has also learned not to show himself as such, since folks may dislike a tiefling, but will fear a smart tiefling. So he keeps up a foolish act, pretending to be an empty-headed academic, detached from wordly affairs.
Background: In any place less tolerant than Varisia, in many churches less open than that of Desna, Niro would have been smothered in the crib. A high priestess having a child with a fiendish creature, the scandal was renowned throughout Magnimar. A thousand stories whirled around from mouth to mouth, that she had fallen to lust for a caprine demon, that she had been forced, charmed, duped, that the father had been cleverly disguised and that she had been corrupted during the pregnancy. The truth was never to be known, as Calisca Vlacescu fled the city in a moonless night, holding his newborn baby as she rode through the eastern gate on a stolen horse.
We lose trace of the pair for a dozen years, as they reappear as part of a Sczarni caravan. The aging Calisca was working as a healer and a cartomancer, as the Tender of Dreams had not abandoned her. Niro grew up on the road, a studious, scholarly boy, learning folklore and history and geography and, most of all, magic. His teacher was an old, blind wizard who had been on the road since he had memory, and whose magic show was one of the mainstay attractions of the caravan.
Fast forward twenty more years. Calisca died of a rapid, fierce fever that had remained hidden until she suddenly fell into a sleep she never woke up from. The wizard had died as well, of peaceful old age. Niro was torn, ash he didn't want to leave the caravan that had been his life, but he had no reason to stay, especially if he wanted to study magic. This indecision led him to lose several chances at apprenticeship to countryside wizards, as he couldn't bring himself to leave the Sczarni. Until the day he got lost in a forest and missed the caravan.
The next few years passed as he tried to live with what little money he had, trying to scroung up enough for a meal with his skill at magic, doors closing on his demonic face. He was regularly beaten by thugs who were passing by and asked for nothing better than a punching bag who nobody would ever defend. His salvation lied, uncannily, in the church of Irori. A small temple in a small village was headed, by a retired enchanter who had converted in his middle age, and the kind man was the only one to recognize Niro's potential from the wreck that he had become. He took him, battered and bruised, nursed him back to health and started teaching him more about magic before sending him to a colleague. Niro, made wary and cautious by the bad encounters in the last years, but now determined at walking the parth of the apprentice, left towards his new master.
But he never got there, as he mysteriously disappeared. Until now, as this story takes place.
Roughly 24 hours until recruitment is closed all! If you where wanting to throw your hat into the ring now might be a good time to do it.
Li Huli Jing worked as a private investigator back in Tien, and one of her first solo cases (a missing young girl who was of the noble clan) had her having to hop on a ship overseas. Exactly what happened is lost to her, upon awakening, her mind was a mish mash of memories and personalities, her original personality fractured into thousands of pieces. The largest piece of her personality became the dominant one, the one now able to bring up the cold that filled her heart when she tried to remember what happened to her. That cold she could now send out to hurt others, to freeze their hearts as hers froze.
In each city, a new fragment of her personality comes to the fore, and a new person emerges as her 'day job' persona.
Just need to decide if i want to keep the archtype or just go vanilla....
Working on a submission. Hopefully, I'll have it ready in time for the deadline!
