The first 5 people to post will make it in, and than we will do character creation


Oh yes. I've wanted to do this one for a long time. Got a couple character ideas I could use.


That's one


Two


I have tried four different times to get involved in this classic. Extremely interested :)


Interested

Liberty's Edge

This character started in a Rise game that died shortly into the first combat encounter. Would love to start her over in a fresh game and get further :)


Alternate? ;)


Ok, will change to closed when I get home. 4d6 drop the lowest 6 times, including u stedvan, we'll see if all 6 make it into character creation (though if not I cab deal with a party of 6)


4d6 - 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 5) - 4 = 16
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 5) - 2 = 11
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4) - 2 = 10
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 3) - 1 = 7
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 4) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 4) - 1 = 9

16, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7

That's on the mediocre side, but it is the way the game was designed to be played.

Thinking a skill character for myself.


You could use 25 point buy

Liberty's Edge

If you're okay with 25pt, that is what this character was built with. No feat tax, no background skills, and it was early enough that I could simply reset gold/equipment and re-buy (I want to say it was average start but I don't recall). I may not have much to do to be ready here :)

Liberty's Edge

I'll need to wipe a couple of points in her background where I had started to weave in the other players from the game that died.. but that also wouldn't take long.


You could roll and see if you like those better. Feat tax and background skills apply, I was in the car with limited time on a phone so that was all I could manage.
If you want to play a fighter let me know, and I will post the homebrew modifications to the fighter
All base and hybrid classes are allowed, but not archetypes.
2 traits, at least 1 from the Rise of the Runelord players guide (An immensely helpful resource for players *hint hint*
Only the 7 base races allowed, but customizing is allowed.
I would like a writing sample 250 words or lesser using one of

These:
1. The beautiful daughter of a store clerk approached you with reports of giant rats in the basement. When you get there she pointed at some barrels which did not have any rats near them, and when you turn around she is undressing and gesturing towards a cot. Describe what you do, and how you react when the pissed off dad comes down 3 minutes after that to find whatever is happening
2. A grumpy old man makes his way into the tavern you are in, and starts yelling at the bar tender/owner who is his daughter. It looks like pretty soon things could go ugly, and it's up to you to diffuse the situation and make sure that there is no bar fights in town tonight.
3. After saving a man on the road from a group of kobolds he becomes slightly obsessed with you, and that lands him in trouble with the guards after the tavern owner calls the guard on him. How do you save your friend from some legal trouble, or do you wish to press charges
prompts to see how your character interacts with others (And situations close to those from the book)
I would prefer you take the average for gold, but whatever you want.


At work will roll at lunch whos doing what i have both a fighter sword and board type idra for this, and a barbarian druid idea. But im open to other things too

Liberty's Edge

Cool, I'll make those modifications then (feats/skills). I'll check out the fighter homebrew when it's posted, but I was pretty happy with this character as a bloodrager so I doubt I'll change it.

Okay, trying for better than 25pt:

4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 3) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 4) - 1 = 14
4d6 - 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 4) - 4 = 15
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 5) - 1 = 16
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 5) - 1 = 12
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 2) - 1 = 6

I'm not sure what a "6" is (lowest on the buy chart is 7), but it's at last another -2, so that's a 20pt buy. Pass.


4d6 - 3 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 6) - 3 = 16
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 6) - 3 = 16
4d6 - 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 5) - 3 = 15
4d6 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 3) - 2 = 9
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 5) - 1 = 11
4d6 - 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1) - 1 = 7


My response to the questions depends on whom im making, There was a bloodrager mentions, along with a skill sort of charector.

What kind of skill sort of charector did you have planned JoshB


oh yeah the stat rolls

stat one: 4d6 - 4 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 6) - 4 = 16
stat two: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 4) - 2 = 12
stat three: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 2) - 2 = 12
stat four: 4d6 - 2 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 5) - 2 = 7
stat five: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 2) = 14
stat six: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 6) - 1 = 15

I'll take it, (its a 22 point buy) but if you will allow the other three points i'll jump the 7 up 3 points. Your call GM :)


That's good ya, cause the stats are obtainable by point buy
A wizard is a pretty important class to have in this game


next question, and sorry for them all, are the crafting feats okay with you or do you prefer us to find or buy our magic toys? If i have to go arcane or cleric because the others have other fun ideas just sort of want to figure out my route


I'm thinking unchained rogue -> wizard -> arcane trickster

someone who can cover scouting, traps, locks, and some magic


Craft feats are fine, as a warning it gets pretty fast paced near the end


4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 2) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 3) = 8
4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 4) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 6) = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 2) = 13

That's pretty bad. 25 buy it is I reckon.

I started this one once with a witch. The game made it basically nowhere and it's been a while so there shouldn't be any issues but I thought I should mention it.

If no one else wants to go arcane(or if we want two of them) I can bring my witch back.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

If you go witch and JoshB goes into his rogue wizard arcane trickster, we would have the arcane covered I believe, Yeda has our melee covered so that leaves something ranged focused, and healing. I'll see what Elbow to the face/ Stedvan want to roll up, and I'll cover what we dont have. :) If they cover both i find something that augments those roles most likely


I'm going to look at a Oracle not %100 sure yet

Liberty's Edge

Per feat tax, power attack is free so she takes Furious Focus.

Background skills: handle animal, craft (armor)

Need to replace one of the traits with a campaign one; remove the drawback.

Still need to do the writing sample.


I have heard people mention this feat tax houserule(or what have you) but I'm not aware of what it actually is.

This is usually what is being referred to: http://michaeliantorno.com/feat-taxes-in-pathfinder/

The GM will say if it's this or some other version of it. I believe that blog itself has update posts revisiting and revising the idea.


Yes that's what I was talking about.


If weapon finesse comes free, does the unchained rogue get a replacement for the finesse rogue ability at first level?


Hello! If you a spot opens at some point - maybe also later - and you would consider an Aasimar Cleric of Calistria then this would be the character with which I would like to apply. Is based on 20 Point Buy with only Paizo material and is 1st level at the moment but I can change everything for this campaign. ;-)


Josh take a bonus feat


Oh and we are also using hero points


This is a first stab at unchained rogue 1 for JoshB


Here is Eggellis' witch. He's actually a warlock but I've been saying witch to avoid confusion on which class I meant.

I'll choose prompt number two.

writing sample:
Grigore is sitting at the bar flirting with the proprietor and generally having a good time. Not that he's the type to go around trying to take every lass he sees to bed mind you, he's just an affable fellow. Besides, he knows she's just playing along to keep him paying for drinks and he wants to be sure to play his part in the game.

As she walks over to another patron he turns to survey the room. That's when he sees trouble. The grumpy old man walks in and starts laying into the bartender. Grigore is not the type to let these things get out of hand if he can help it.

He grabs his drink and walks over to the pair. He places a hand on the old man's shoulder and takes a swig from his glass before setting it on the bar. "Easy there friend," he says with a smile, "Haven't you heard that cooler heads always prevail?" Just as the old grouch is about to respond Grigore pulls his hand away from the man's shoulder holding a loose thread from his jacket. Grigore glares at the man with his golden eyes. Eyes that before seemed to be friendly and inviting. Eyes that were now unsettling, that actually belonged set into the face of a man who communes with unknown beings to learn magic. "I'd hate for things to get ugly in here." Grigore snaps with his free hand and the loose thread burns away.


So i have settled on Oracle, i will continue to hammer out the details and post once it is complete (3pm PST Wednesday at the latest)


Sweet, i work up my druid then :) Will have him finished and work on the writing sample today after work


When you are done dot on the gameplay tab


Quick question and almost finished on the build. Is an Elk and acceptible Animal companion for you?


Ya


Writing:
1. The beautiful daughter of a store clerk approached you with reports of giant rats in the basement. When you get there she pointed at some barrels which did not have any rats near them, and when you turn around she is undressing and gesturing towards a cot. Describe what you do, and how you react when the pissed off dad comes down 3 minutes after that to find whatever is happening
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
The young druid frowned as he moved to inspect the barrel frowning. He saw no sign of rats, but then again the lights down here were weak. His right hand slid up towards the his leather hunting mask lifting it up over his wild and long dark green dyed hair... He scowled as he turned, even pulling the mask up didnt make rat sign any clearer.

His eyes about leapt out of his skull as he saw the young human woman disrobing and motioning to the cot. He colored in embaressment, such reactions from females wasnt something he was used to.

"I ...what are you doing miss? Is this some mating ritual done amongst your people... I did not find any rats."

He turned slipping the mask back on to begin searching even more for the rats. Not all humans well mated with life partners, some of them did it for the pleasure and enjoyment of it, far be it from him to judge. When her father burst in angrily he almost ignored him instead calling out as he poked about the corners of the room.

"I havent found the rats yet your daughter wanted for the regard gift sir, but with all that noise they are probably scared away now. Should I come back later?"

He began innocently enough.

Writing:
Zokash arrived in town earlier in the day, having walked about exploring the various shops and talked to various townsfolk, those who would talk to him some were wary when dealing with half-orcs, he learned there was to be a local festival soon. Zokash was a fan of festival, as he was a fan of meeting people and they typically led to many people in central locations. Evening had set upon the town and Zokash found a neat little tavern to stop and grab a bit to eat at.
Seated at a table along the far wall across from the door Zokash patiently waited for his food and watched the goings on of the busy tavern. The owner, who save for a young man occasionally appearing to clear tables, and loud grumbling coming from the kitchen area, appeared to be running the business by herself. The young lady dropped of Zokash’s food and the thanked her and began to eat. When the owner was half way back to her station behind the bar a cantankerous middle-aged man stormed in and began to argue with her. The room grew quiet as conversation died down to hear the argument. Noise of idle chit-chat was quickly replaced by the shouts of the two verbal foes.
Worried that this may go further than a simple shouting match Zokash decided to intervene. All noise beyond the oral combat stopped when Zokash stood from his seat. All eyes, save for the four locked on their respective opponents, turned to the tall and brawny half-orc in the funny looking clothes as he walked toward the arguing pair, father and daughter as it turned out according to the argument. They didn’t notice him until he was standing almost between them and gave a cough to draw their attention.
“Excuse me,” Zokash interjected looking down at the pair with his hands clasped together resting against his abdomen, “I was hoping to be of assistance in mediating this argument. From what I hear festivities are nearly upon us and it would be a shame for anyone to get hurt. If I might suggest if you, sir, were to come back after hours perhaps that might be better to resolve the issues you are arguing over,” with that he unclasps his hands and gestures to the door the man came through. The skinny balding man gawks angrily at young half-breed and leaves begrudgingly and slams the door.

Liberty's Edge

I've dotted in. I've had a busy couple of evenings, so didn't get my writing sample done. Will commence on this in a few hours.

Looking forward to this!

Liberty's Edge

I checked again and she was built with a 20pt buy (!!). Fixed that

GM: would you accept a *regional* trait instead of a campaign trait since this character is from the Calphiak Mountains in the north?


What were you thinking?

Liberty's Edge

Sea-Souled (ultimate campaign)

I did my writing last night and then the paizo site decided to have an outage right as I submitted the post... So I'll try that again today but write it outside of the site :/


Writing-Breakfast at the Inn:

Tamm walked down the stairs into the common room of the inn, yawning and rubbing his head as if that would make the pain subside. He had arrived in town yesterday and had celebrated the end of a week sleeping on the ground and eating cold by drinking a few too many ales with the locals.

He took a seat on a bench, close enough to the fire to be warmed but far enough away to not get too smokey and waved over the barmaid. He was surprised to see it was the lass he took to be the owner last evening. [i]“I guess running a place like this means you wear many hats”[i/] he mused to himself.

She approached with her arms full of a platter covered with dirty dishes. ”Good morning to you.” she greeted him. ”I hope you had a good night’s rest and you aren’t too worse for wear after your drinking last evening.” she continued.

”I’ll survive.” Tamm grinned. ”Some eggs, ham, and porridge would surely speed my recovery.”

”I’ll see what my cook can produce. That shouldn’t be too difficult. What about a little hair of the dog?” she asked with a wink, gesturing with her head towards the ale cask.

”Not this early.” Tamm answered with a grin. ”I’ll just take the breakfast if you please.”

She proceeded to the kitchen and Tamm watched her leave. While he waited, he picked up each of the serving utensils in turn, balancing them on the tip of his finger in a contest against himself, seeing how long he could keep them upright.

He was balancing a spoon when he heard the door to the kitchen open and he saw the barmaid returning with a plate piled high with his breakfast. A smile started to break across his face, but then a crash sounded from the door of the inn as an older man entered, slamming the door as he did.

The spoon fell to the table and Tamm winced as his head reacted to the sound.

The older man turned and advanced on the barmaid right after entering. He raised his voice in complaint ”I can’t believe the state of things!” he shouted, ”I should never have left you in charge.” he continued, planting himself in front of the girl and blocking her path.

”I am doing just fine here.” the girl shouted back. ”I’ve no need for your meddling you old coot!”

”Coot! Coot is it?” the man replied. ”While I oughtta’!!!” he was about to continue as Tamm came to his feet and stepped forward.

”Excuse me folks.” he interrupted as he stepped around the older gentleman.

The old man started as he seemed to notice that he and the barmaid weren’t the only ones in the common room.

”Pardon the interruption, but I’m dying for that breakfast.” Tamm said as he stepped forward to claim the tray from the barmaid. He looked over the breakfast on the tray and then up at the barmaid. ”This looks delicious. Would you happen to have any honey I could add to my porridge?” he asked.

”Certainly good sir, just a moment.” she smiled at Tamm and then glared at the old man before she turned for the kitchens.

”Harrump!!!” the old man grumped as he glared around the room.

As Tamm sat back down in some semblance of peace, he heard the old man stomp back out the door. He grimaced in anticipation and was rewarded a moment later as the door crashed shut.


Yes that would work
