Rise of the Runelords - Need One More Player (Cleric preferred)


Recruitment


Our GM had to step away shortly after kicking off our ROTR PBP so we're shifting gears. I will take over as GM and we need one more player, preferably in the flavor of healy-dealy.

The characters are currently in Sandpoint and the Swallowtail Festival is just getting underway with some games and a feast. There has been minor interaction between characters so you're getting in at the ground floor. Seize this opportunity before time runs out!

Commitment: Posting at least 3x per week (probably more but sometimes people get busy). If you're going to be absent for a few days please communicate that to the group.

Character Creation Guidelines:
Level: 1
Attributes: 20 point buy
HP: Max at 1st, average rounded up on advancement
Traits: 2 Traits, prefer one from ROTR Player's Guide
Money: Max for class
Races: Non-Monstrous Paizo Races
Classes: Cleric preferred
Alignment:
Background Skills: Yes
Books allowed: All Paizo material
Character Backstory: Where are you from, why are you in Sandpoint? What's your personality like?

Current Roster:
1. Male Elf Bard (Archaeologist)
2. Male Dwarf Bloodrager (Primalist)
3. Female Brine May Unchained Rogue (Dreamthief)
4. Male Human Wizard (Enhancer)
5. Female Human Harrow Sorceress
6. You? Yes, YOU!


I've got a cleric build I've been itching to try out. Lemme think of someone that'd fit said build and the setting and I'll throw my hat in the ring xD


I do have this character from a RotRL which ended. I'd need to do a bit of a rebuild, which I can get to after work. Are you dead set on a Cleric (the class) or are you looking for someone who can fill the Cleric role (healing/buffs/support/etc)?


Irisa is a Heaven's Oracle made for this path. While she's no cleric, she got healing to help out where it is needed. Though with two arcane casters already she might overlap too much since she'll be using her magic offensively at times. I might also have to adjust her stats.


I applied the first time around but did not make it. Do you know if you’re set on a cleric, as Ahdak has asked, or is it more of a question of having some in-combat healing?

I noticed that you’re a little light on nature-themed characters, so there could be a bit of role-filling if you ask for something that overlaps there.


Hmm, it looks to me like another frontliner could be very helpful. I will work up a cleric - probably a Dwarven Divine Paragon of Torag.
Edit: I see that Desna is popular in this party. I can work with that.


Changelings are not monstrous, right? :3


Thanks for the responses so far. I'll see if I can answer the questions that have come up.

1. Am I set on cleric? - Doesn't have to e a cleric, more of a preference than a requirement for the buffs and heals and moral guidance.

2. Adding an Oracle in an arcane group - Might be okay - did I read your character sheet correctly that you have no 1st level spells? I don't have much experience with Oracles.

3. Cleric vs. nature themed caster - Doesn't absolutely have to be a cleric to fill the spot but it's preferred.

4. Torag or Desna - Either should work just fine. I was going to play a Cleric of Desna but I'm taking the GM reins now.

5. Changlings - Changeling could be interesting, I never looked it over before. Should be fine.


Looking a bit at the selections of the wizard and the sorceress in the party, I see that they'll probably work out quite differently than Irisa. Oracle is not an arcane caster, she's still divine, but she'll eventually get some expanded capability due to her spirit that is close to what an arcane caster can do (kinda like a cleric domain). With 6 characters there is bound to be some overlap anyway. Irisia can fill the necessary hole (healing) without being solely focused on it. She's a missionary of Desna as well, so even if she isn't a cleric, she can certainly help with the moral guidance part as well. Looking forward to seeing who you ultimately select.

Edit:
The level 1 spells I have are: Bless, Cure light wounds and Command. They are under the Spells spoiler. I see I've made a typo and put 0 spells per day, it should be 5 spells per day.

I wrote my original response to your unedited post. But then you changed it completely so now my argument seems out of place.


Age: 15 + 2d6 ⇒ 15 + (6, 6) = 27 years old (Hah! Goes with the backstory involving dorfs. Of course they'd think she grew up too fast...)
Height: 62 + 2d4 ⇒ 62 + (2, 3) = 67" (5'7")
Weight: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 x5 + 85 = 100 lbs

Hah, sorry about that. No worries - after I said there might be overlap in arcane casting I hit reply and realized that Oracle isn't arcane.


Thinking about a warpriest of Cayden Cailean. Human (Varisian) C/G. When are you thinking about closing recruitment? I've got date night tonight with my wife and then I leave for GenCon tomorrow morning, wouldn't have much time to work on it until Sunday or Monday.


Vanulf, I'm hoping to make a decision pretty quickly and we have a few strong candidates already. I'd say focus on wife, safe travel and hop into a different AP when you recover from GenCon.


All,
In the interest of making sure I don't start over-analyzing and ho-humming I think I'll pick up Irisa for this run.

Thanks for the quick submissions and if we need another player I'll see about reaching out to you via direct message.

Irisa, here is the discussion thread.


Here is Rose Golddew. Her crunch isn't done yet, but the most important stuff is already in the profile xD


Good choice! Sorry I missed my chance, hope you guys have fun.


quick indeed xD
Well, have fun
