I was putting together a druid and noticed a little mistake in one of the traits if interested:
And yeah, I'll be taking that trait. Wood Shape sounds great.
*Treeshaper : The forces of nature course through your veins. Your blood line has had many with the power to shape the wood and plants around them and it has passed on to you. Elves with Wisdom scores of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day Entangle and 1/day Wood Shape (exactly like stone shape except on wood). The caster level for these effects is equal to the Elve’ level. The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the wisdom modifier. At 5th level the woodshaper can add detail and design to his shapes. At 10th level a woodshaper can add intricate patterns and artistic designs and it becomes 50 cubic feet + 5 cubic feet a level. At 15th level the woodshaper can making moving parts like hinges, gears, and levers (like a working door with a simple lock).
Thanks! I thought got all of those will amend it.

Question 2: Yes. Since this is the core of the bard archetype I would view that as your Bardic Performance.ALLENDM: how do you feel about the Juggler bard archetype?
...
Question 2: If this archetype is approved, can the juggling I am doing actually be my bardic performance? (as if it were a perform skill; FYI sleight-of-hand works like a perform skill if you use it to entertain or earn a living).
OK, the character is coming together.
Technically the "use three things in two hands" ability doesn't come into play until third level. But maybe I could do a 2-item cascade in one hand while keeping my other hand free until then.
The "Halfling Jugglesticks" from the Advanced Race Guide grant a +2 competence bonus to Perform (comedy) checks. I am assuming I can get this bonus to sleight-of-hand checks for juggling instead.
Since I am taking the trait that gives me the throw anything feat, here are some ideas I had for improvised weapons:
** spoiler omitted **...
The improvised weapons look fine. Range increment of 20 feet will work. Chaulk/flour is light and the leather ball is a bit heavy so 20 feet work for both. I agree about the wooden juggling pin/club.
1. Wooden ball - about the size of a softball. Possibly with a colored streamer attached, so you could hold the ball itself or grab the streamer and wing it around. I'm guessing this would do damage similar to a club. Free (if a club is free this ought to be too).
2. Leather ball - filled with sand and a lead shot core. Basically works like a sap but thrown. Costs the same as a sap.
3. Chaulk ball - a cheap burlap bag full of ground chalk, or maybe flour. Functions as a bag of powder, or thrown to make a Dirty Trick maneuver (to blind someone) by hitting them in the face with it. Flour and chalk are both cheap, so 1 sp. Not reusable though.
These all would require a bit of craftsmanship to make... to make them is 2cp and to buy them is 6cp each. Wooden Ball and Leather ball are reusable and the Chaulk/flour ball is disposable. Fair? If that is acceptable note this on your character sheet.

I will review these characters and give feedback tomorrow.
Thanks!

There is a Player's Maps in the Google Drive :) Gives you Saltmarsh and the surrounding areas.
It is in Keoland. Seaton (east of Saltmarsh) is the biggest town it the area and the seat of the Viscount. It has a seedy underworld (thriving thieves' guild). Keoland is east of the Yeoman League and North East of the Hold of the Sea Princes. West of the lands of Ulek (Principality, County, and Duchy).
The largest city would be Monmurg in the Hold of Sea Princes which is across the Monmurg Bay (south) about 70 miles. The port city of Gradsul in Keoland is about 200 miles away to the north east.
SD
Right!
That gives me something to work with!
Thanks...
I believe I am going to withdraw my character from consideration at this time. I had not noticed previously that I6 was included in the old school line-up.
Good luck to the other applicants, and thank you for the opportunity.
ALLENDM, This is Licitus' submission for Haad Oreborn.
One thing I have not cleared with you is the use of the Wanderer alternate racial trait. I hope it will be ok. I see it fitting in with his dedication to health.
Also, I am not sure which mountains Haad would be from. I am thinking Crystalmist or Lortmil (Lortmil for now), but I don't know if one or the other would make more sense for the campaign. I am using his starting location for a knowledge local rank and one of his spoken languages. Please let me know if it makes a difference.
Thanks for you consideration.

I actually figured that the leather ball would cost the same as a sap (1 gp). It's basically the same thing only without a handle. Because there's no handle, call it half the normal weight. It might even be considered a non-improvised weapon since it is actually designed to be thrown - though that may not be obvious.
There is a "Bag of Powder" in Ultimate Equipment. I could probably just use the stats for that for the chalk/flour ball.
The others... yeah, that's cool. Can we say 5 cp each though just so the math is neat? I like round numbers.

Sounds good.

I6 is for when we get to Q1 which is a long ways off. I am not sure that should hold you back. Especially since it is dependent on if the party goes through that door on her plane.

I had a few questions about druid:
-Would it be ok to select Celestian as the source of my druidic spellcasting? I was wanting to make part of her theme astronomy and a hatred of aberrations. (the glossography has a bunch of cool astronomy stuff I want to pull from)
-Can my animal companion start with tricks beyond the 1 bonus trick?

-Can my animal companion start with tricks beyond the 1 bonus trick?
Beory (Old Faith) is the primary god of nature with Ehlonna and Obad-Hai as newer sources. Celestain has no ties to nature. What we could do is if your Druid has a strong faith in Celestain we can possibly develop an archetype Druid that both honors nature and worships Celestain. In this way you would gain a domain or two from Celestain as well as the abberation and lose some Druid powers.
My suggestion is drop the additions in spontaneous casting so you are back to Summon Nature’s Ally only and you pick up one domain from Celestain.
If you willing to go that route let me know and we can work it all out.
SD
Ok, I guess Ehlonna would work since she has Sun domain, Sun is a star I suppose. I originally was thinking moon worship but Pholtus definitely doesn't fit with the idea!
Hi all - I've had a brutal week at work, but I'll check back in tomorrow night and post an updated character list. Hopefully my own character will be done this weekend!
@DM here is my background and avatar. Crunch to follow soon.

Again, Leosclim Goldclove's sheet. Reposting, as I think I'm done with the personality & appearance and such. As I said, I can easily put together an alias, if you like that format better.

I went High Elf, but I have a lot to rework tomorrow, including Keen senses and UC Rogue.
mishima here, this is my complete druid submission. At first I had a hard time thinking of how someone would become a druid and still have humble origins as required, but hopefully I struck the right note. Excited to see this character progress through the adventure.
The only thing missing is known tricks for her animal companion. Would you allow me to start with some tricks, or gain all as game goes on?
I would imagine you would have time to teach your companion three tricks.
SD
Still working on cleaning up the background. The flu has struck and having two kids sick is not making it easy on me. Pushing along and should have it done soon....I hope

Old School Greyhawk Campaign FolderSD
Good to have some free house-ruled Greyhawk stuff out there for the "greyhawking". ;)
@ SD, how situational is the feat Combat Reflexes in your campaign? I've played in campaigns where it was very helpful and some where it was nearly useless.

SC,
It will have a major role in combat especially close quarters and large party combat where flanking and ganging up by groups can take place.
One thing I would add if you are curious what kind of campaign it will be look at the house rules. I am pretty cut and dry and I don’t hide much. The house rules, variant fighter, the feat tax reduction, flanking rules, the additions made to NPC warrior and thug, and that will tell you a lot. The addition on poisons, wound threshold, optional rules, and magic ( restrictions), as well the Rogue contact rules is also a big tell.
SD
May I present my character submission...
", Juggler extraordinaire, at your service good sirs. It will be my great honor to perform for you tonight a variety of feats of manual dexterity and prestidigitation to delight and amaze! Come closer and witness the wondrous talents of Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week."
Question 3: Would the Extra Traits feat be available to take more of the optional racial traits you have listed?Question 3: Yes. Bear in mind the ones with * cost two.
I was really tempted by this... I would have taken the Shiftless and Fleet of Foot traits. They fit the fluff of the character really well.
But bards don't really get extra feats at all, and there are a lot of combat feats I'm going to need as I level up, and it sounds like the campaign will be pretty tough so I don't want to have to wait till 3rd level to get Precise Shot.

I just finished the house rules doc. It gave me ideas for about three other characters. Anyway, I have reworked Gorin and I am going to rework his background a bit to match the grittier feel of this campaign.
Jovich & Salacious Crumb, I'm very sorry about the mixup - apparently I had too many tabs open at the time and got confused as to whose profile went with what submission. I'll post a new list tonight linking to your correct submissions, and add any new submissions as well.
No worries Tick, I realized that I used the same alias icon as Jovich. My apologies
Did you read the feat tax portion of the house rules?
Yes, I did, and they are a big help to this character at 1st level (and again at 7th). Basically I get the Precise Shot and Point-Blank shot feats all at once. It means that my throwing attacks are viable even against targets in melee at 1st level.
But they won't do a lot of damage. With both Bardic Song and Point-Blank Shot, I typically will do 1d4+3 damage per attack. In order to do real damage with throwing I have to be able to throw lots of things and also have a way to boost damage.
So I still need:
Two-Weapon fighting
Quick Draw
Deadly Aim
And preferably:
Arcane Strike
That takes my feats from 1st to 9th level.
All,
I have been going through the character submissions...I tend to read and reread them.
As of now I have selected two for the party so that everyone knows:
Right now the party makeup looks like this:
Oceanshieldwolf is running a female human variant fighter (Naia Temlow) She is also from Saltmarsh.
Mishima running a high elf druid with an animal companion (Zove). From Dreadwood but now in Saltmarsh.
(2 of 6 selected)
Fighter (variant) (female human from Saltmarsh)
Druid w/animal companion (high elf female from Saltmarsh)
I am looking for four more players to get to six. As stated I am waiting until Feb 9th for all submissions but I plan on picking one more player to get the party somewhat formed and ready to go. On Feb 9th I will open the Discussion thread (OOC) and after that, we will get started.
Thanks,
SD
My background is almost complete. Will have the final touches done tonight.

The character is done ready. I will do some fine tuning the back ground but for the most part he is ready to go.
The optimist in me wants to assume that you haven't picked Rabalar because you wanted to see the other concepts I had mentioned.
Now you can.
Guess we'll see what happens.
It is more about the amount of rangers/ hunters/ slayers/ rogues. Just giving everyone time to get them in to be fair.
SD
P.S. trust me the impatient part of me want to pick six and go but I know long term PBP you have to get the right mix of players. Often more important then the characters.
Hello!
It's Xunal again...
I was able to finish Ûzorgráng's profile today.
Here it is, in all it's glory (or something like that).
Let me know if I should alter anything.
Thanks!
Ûzorgráng is from the city of Monmurg, in the Hold of the Sea Princes. All he
knew as a child was the life of an indentured labourer. A slave, in fact, if not
in name. He and his sister, Shenmat, were separated when their owner, Remmírja,
decided to sell Ûzorgráng off as a pit fighter. Partly for the money, but mostly
because Ûzorgráng is quite wilful, which is not a quality that endears slaves to
their owners.
Despite his young age, Ûzorgráng had brawn, vigour, and even agility that few
adults could match. For that reason, he became an ideal follower of the god
Kord, the god of athletics, sports, brawling, strength, and courage.
Unfortunately for Ûzorgráng the owner of a fighting pit, Elohesra, offered
Remmírja a tidy sum for those same qualities.
Although he loathed the idea of fighting, even killing, to entertain others,
Ûzorgráng had little choice to do just that. It was necessary just to survive.
Much to everyone's surprise, including Ûzorgráng's, when pushed enough, he flies
into a rage for a short while and grows claws when he does so. Although he
became something of a crowd favourite, Ûzorgráng still hated his situation and
wanted nothing more than to escape.
Luckily, that chance presented herself in the form of Hoentin, another of
Elohesra's slaves. She is a talented cook, but Elohesra was also unaware that
she was also a skillful lockpick and cutpurse. She longed to escape as well and
despite the contact among slaves being kept to a minimum, Ûzorgráng and Hoentin
soon formulated an escape plan.
One night, after the day's fights, Hoentin managed to lace all the food for the
guards and for Elohesra himself with a very strong sleeping draught. Herbalism
is another of Hoentin's talents, it seems. She was soon able to unlock the cells
for Ûzorgráng and the other pit fighters. With great difficulty, Ûzorgráng was
able to convince his fellow pit fighters not to kill sleeping Elohesra and his
sleeping guards. Instead, they locked them up in the cells, and left them bound
and gagged.
They then left with all of Elohesra cash and other valuables and made good their
escape from Monmurg. Since carrying around bags of cash and valuables draws
unwanted attention by the city watch in any city, they left the bulk of
Elohesra's money at an orphanage. They used the rest to buy passage out of
Monmurg by bribing several ship's crews to hire them on as mercenaries, or a
cook in Hoentin's case. By time Elohesra and his guards started coming out of
their drug-induced stupors, bound hand and foot, gagged, and locked in what used
to be fighters' cells, Ûzorgráng, Hoentin, and the others were safely out of
Monmurg. Dispersed among several ships.
Despite his rather unfortunate beginning in life, Ûzorgráng is a goodly sort, if
willful. Because of having been a pit-fighter against his will, he's keen to
help others weaker than him get out ofa sticky situation. The only real bad side
to his personality is when he goes into a rage while fighting.
His deceased parents were both half-orc adventurers themselves:
• Father: Graltar; a barbarian
• Mother: Shaelat; a draconic blooded sorcerer
• He only has vague recollections of either; he and Shenmat were quite young when their parents died
• Does not know what's happened to Shenmat, his sister, but he wants to find and free her some day

ALLENDM, I have an idea for a LN Half-Dwarf monk/inquisitor, but it definitely require approvals from you.
If that works, I can flesh him out. Also, I still want to submit that CG sailor skald.
@ SD, I'm going to withdraw my submission as well. You have put in a large amount of time and energy into this already. Getting back into that Greyhawk hex map was enticing. I have tremendous respect for your work. Thanks for the inspiration. You all have fun. I will lurk at gameplay from time to time.
Thanks,

All,
Just a quick reminder if you are planning on submitting a character deadline is 2/9/2018.
If you plan on submitting do me a favor and let me know. If all the submissions are done I would really like to move forward and get to picking the party :)
Thanks!
