Hello all. My ongoing (albeit at a leisurely pace) Kingmaker game is in need of front line melee combatant. The party is currently level 3 but will soon be level 4 and on their way to face the Stag Lord.
Prior experience with the Kingmaker AP is not a deal breaker as long as you are capable of separating player knowledge from character knowledge. Kingmaker has been out for quite a while and I imagine a lot of folks have played at least pieces of it before. With that being said, I will be altering (and have been altering) enough things here and there that prior knowledge may not necessarily be all that helpful.
Character generation:
Abilities: 25 point buy
Sources Available: Paizo published only. NO 3RD PARTY. Unchained versions only for the Barbarian, Rogue, and Summoner. Monk can be either Unchained or Core. With the Unchained Barbarian being the default, all Rage-like abilities will default to the Unchained Mechanics (i.e. a bloodragers bloodrage etc.)
Traits: Two, one must be a Kingmaker campaign trait. You may take a drawback for an additional trait if you would like, but be prepared to play said drawback.
Races: I have a strong preference for Core races, but may be willing to accept one "oddball". Please feel free to ask about a race in this thread or via PM before spend too much time building a a character of a non-core race.
Alignment: I place minimal emphasis on alignment. That being said, your character should be a good team player, regardless of alignment. I've seen too many games over the years go by the wayside due to party infighting.
Background Skills from Unchained are in play.
We will be using the Kingdom system from Ultimate Campaign / Ultimate Rulership.
The Downtime systems from UC will be in play as desired.
The characters will start at third level and 5,000 gp to equip their characters. No more than half of your money may be spent on any one item.
Completed submissions need to be mechanically complete with a brief background story, short character description (including a few notes about the character's personality).
You will not necessarily need an alias with a completed stat-block unless you are selected.
Map sare handled on a combination of Roll20.net (Combat) and Google Docs (Hex Map and eventually Kingdom Map).
Recruitment will be open for 1 week (closing 8:00 PM CST January 21, 2019), unless sufficient applications are received before then. If recruitment is to be closed early, a 24 hour warning will be given.
Here is a link to the current gameplay thread to see if this game matches your tastes or not before applying.
The party currently consists of:
Human Female Cleric of Erastil
Gnome Male Unchained Rogue
Elf Male Feral Hunter
Human Male Wood Elemental Wizard
Human Male Unchained Scaled Fist Monk/Sorcerer
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask either in this thread or via PM.
Thanks!
Mind if I dot in? New to the boards. Not new to RPGs
=^^=
You are certainly welcome to dot in and create a submission.
I'm not entirely opposed. Sell me on why a samurai would be in Brevoy/The Stolen Lands.
Thank you. Would you consider a hobgoblin? I am thinking to go Barbarian non-the-less
While I won't say no right off the bat, I do state in the first post that I have a strong preference for the core races. You are welcome to try a hobgoblin, but you will need to come up with a very compelling story for that race choice.
No worries. I'll make a core race barbarian
This is Garidan. He played in another game that died and is looking for new employment. He's a shield bash slayer and trapfinder.
Need to add an updated backstory and check with your Chargen rules.
@zer0darkfire - As the group has just returned to Oleg's, I will very likely have the new character meet up with the existing party there. The reasons for the new character to be at Oleg's is something that can be discussed.
How long/short would you like the background of the character to be?
The background doesn't have to be real long, just long enough to get a sense of who the character is. Maybe a paragraph or two would be sufficient.
I'm not going to penalize anyone that wants to write a longer, more detailed background, but it won't necessarily be a benefit either. Looking for quality over quantity.
@Red Heat - I don't believe they have discussed that in any sort of detail. I have asked that question of the existing party and will let you know more when I know more.

So why the Samurai.
Bohdi came from Tain Xia, once a raw recruit in the nations army. He trained as hard as everyone else, not seeking to be extraordinary but to be as excellent as those around him. Training came easy as he had practiced with a sword for so long with his father and uncle's. Eventually making it into the army Bohdi went on many patrols, once day he came across some bandits with his patrol, Bohdi was sent back for reinforcements, Bodhi was way laid by a spirit in the woods. Another patrol happened upon him as he was heading back to his own patrol, the others thought he helped to ambush his patrol.
Bohdi fled the area with all he had, making his way to the western shore, working as a mercenary for a while before gaining passage west. Hearing of these "Stolen Lands" and how Brevory wished to reclaim them, Bodhi made his way there, coming to late for the initial party selecting Bodhi was told to just venture out and find a group to join if possible.
I think the Samurai will fit in because they are honorable and can be a good addition to any party. My character won't be mounted and would find a "tank" roll well.
Strong in body and spirit he is a warrior of his tribe. A protector and hunter. He is tasked to look after those who can not look after themselves. He can be very blunt but he tries to be mindful of what he says. Not that he succeeds often, but he tries. Long black hair, many scars, one of them seems to have almost taken his left eye. He prefers large weapons. And he is always eager to join in on a fight. Be it a brawl or mortal combat. One does not back down from a fight. And having orc blood makes him even more so inclined than most
Wreck hails from the Man-Eater clan, and no, it's not what one would think if you hear the name. Their clan totem is that of a tiger. Strong. Expert hunter and not afraid of his enemies. As a proud warrior of his clan, he was tasked to hunt down the one responsible for ordering a raid on his people. Unsuccessfull as it was, his chief still decreed that even a failed attempt needs to be punished as they take such attacks as an insult and a challenge. And as their Totem Beast does not back down, neither will they
So here he is in what the locals call the stolen lands, trying to find the one called "The Stag Lord"
That reasoning works for me.
As a side note, you may want to have a rank or two in weapon-smith or armorer if you intend to stick with eastern flavored weaponry and armor as you are not too likely to find such things in the Stolen Lands.
can one begin with 1 crafted item?
What is the item in question?
I decided against, but here is the build for Wreck

I think the existing group would be reluctant to bring a Hellknight aspirant in, particularly the given the typically over-bearing nature of the Order of the Nail and their thoughts on Chelish culture being superior to everything else.
That being said, if any of my current players would like to dispute those thoughts, feel free to do so.
GM, any input on Wreck? Just curious
@BloodPaw - I'll take a closer look later tonight.
At first glance you need to take a drawback to gain a third trait. How did you come across a falcata to train with it in the first place? Not saying you can't have it, but it seems to be an odd weapon choice for a barbarian given the falcata's place as a Taldoran noble's blade in the setting.
I'm building a Human Warpriest (sacred fist) of Gorum. I'm hoping the background will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.
I took the "Unlearned" drawback.
I can add to my story that his father perhaps had a duel or a fight with said noble and the weapon was the prize. As he grew up he trained with said weapon and eventually had one made for him and being still very young, bigger is better
|
hellknights can be a little overbearing, but IIRC nothing says that it has to be chelish civilization, just civilization in general is enough for them (though it is likely they would want a structure similiar to cheliax, or absalom, or even taldane)
If the nail is the crux of the matter, would one of the godclaw work? The members here worship a mix of Abadar, Iomeade, Asmodeous, Torag, and Irori. As before he would seek to instill law and civilization, though now fueled by divine cause rather than the cause of man. again, likely LN.
I'm asking merely because I haven't had a chance to play a hellknight sadly so am a bit itching to try one.
From Archieves of Nethys:
Order of the Nail Hellknights idealize the civilized society of southern Avistan and seek to unite all people in advancing that cultural baseline. In fact, the Order of the Nail’s members preach that anyone who doesn’t embrace Chelish culture is a criminal and heathen who must be destroyed. The order’s members idealize the lifestyles and challenges of frontier settlers, no matter the displacement, indignation, or cruelty they might visit on those who were there before.
Order of the Godclaw would be more palatable, but I will still defer to my existing players on the matter of a Hellknight. I just do not want to get into a situation where I:
1) Drive off an existing player or
2) Tell you a Hellknight is fine and the party makes your life more difficult than need be.

see, thats very different than the PFSRD, I don't reference archives either, so likely is why I missed that and I did not recall that bit from reading over them in the inner sea setting book. So I mistook it to be culture as in societal standards, apologies. I can understand the two issues, its precisely why I'm asking and seeing if there is even a chance for it. Though, I'm unsure if an order of the cockatrice cavalier or paladin would be that much better haha.
issue number 1 wouldn't be a problem on my end, as I doubt the hellknight would get the "baron" title, and would for the most part follow any "final" decisions. (assuming that a player gets the "leader" roll)
Order of the Nail Hell Knights idealize civilized societies and seek to unite all people in advancing that cultural baseline. In fact, the Order of the Nail’s members preach that anyone who doesn’t embrace their own culture is a criminal and heathen who must be destroyed. The order’s members idealize the lifestyles and challenges of frontier settlers, no matter the displacement, indignation, or cruelty they might visit on those who were there before.
Symbol: thick nails forming a sunburst
Members: frontiersmen, settlers, victims of barbarian and monster attacks
Armor Features: breastplate emblazoned with a fiendish face, horned helm
Favored Weapon: lance or halberd
Reckoning: Pierce your flesh with sharp metal. Gain a +4 bonus on Knowledge (geography) checks. Additionally, if you are trained in Knowledge (geography), you automatically succeed at attempts to use that skill to identify a creature’s ethnicity or accent, as long as you are familiar with that ethnicity or accent.
Tenants
I will strike against civilization’s foes, braving both thicket and darkness.
I will rid the world of threats to civilization and make it fit for the law to flourish.
I will fear no creature, though the enemies of order are terrible.
I will not be merciful, though the enemies of order may bear familiar guises—and may even be individuals I have considered dear.
I will seek allies and advantage, confounding luck with wisdom.
I will be the face that monsters dread: fierce, sharp, and unflinching.
basically, if you and your players think it possible, I'd write something up for you/them to look over and see if they would fit, if roughly, in. I'd rather godclaw probably at this point.
I also had a thought of a hellknight aspirant seeking to found his own lesser order, perhaps one similar to the the nail, but instead of forcing a specific culture, they work to bring order and law, and "culture" to all "uncivilized" lands, they don't care particularly about the people running it, only that strict regulations etc are in place and enforced?
there are already several lesser orders that seem to hint this is possible.
I was thinking of making a paladin for the campaign. What are your feelings about Leadership and the Noble Scion prestige class?
Leadership is fine, in fact I've been kicking around the idea of granting it as a bonus feat to my PCs for this campaign - still undecided on that at the moment.
Noble Scion is fine as long you have the background to match it.
Yeah. The one-sentence background is Paladin of Abadar from Taldor, third son of his house.

well, It was mostly a desire to try out the hellkngiht prestige class more than anything really, though I do enjoy the idea of a more lawbound character. I had considered taking leadership to show him having "founded" his order as well.
Though, if that seems too much for you, I could do it with a cavalier instead? He would be LN, LG, or NG(trending to lawful aspect). If I did this, I have a character that, with minor tweaking, would likely be a good fit. However, would you be okay with me starting with a (non combatant "companion") griffon? With the plan to take monstrous mount at level 5?
The idea was he found it as a baby griffon after its mother was killed by orcs/hobgoblins and has been raising it since and training it. It would be essentially "not there" until we level to 5 though (either him having it be "at home" or some other thing, or fiat if thats your preferred method)
He would seek to found an order named "The Dragoons", a Calvary order/regiment designed to protect the land. In honor of his now destroyed home town, and so that he, being one of the 2 or 3 survivors of the brotherhood would see it continued.
hmm. The more I type, the more I think I'll just do this intead, less conflict for everyone, still the same lawful bound aspect, just sad I can't try the archetype yet XD oh well.
I'd like to dot with a half-elf swordlord.
Seems appropriate for the setting and party.
@Raltus - Looks good.
@rorek55 - I definitely like the cavalier idea you propose more than the Hellknight.
@TheoreticallyYours - Swordlord certainly would be an appropriate option.
I had kinda figured it would, Hellknights likely have the same kind of stigma a paladin does for big ole sticklers and being VERY opinionated. Though perhaps a little worse as hellknights are usually seen as evil, likely due to the name.
Alright, Here is the cavalier, I've added bits for a while, and its gotten rather large (I made him for a level 1 game, then updated and added a bit more background to apply for a level 7 one) So I'll give a brief summary.
He was part of a fairly large town near the hold of Belkzen that was situated on a plain. The town defense was mostly guaranteed by a band of "knights" known to the town as "The dragoons", along with the regular guards. His brother, and his father had been part of the the Dragoons, as well as his grandfather, and he had always aspired to join them as well to gain glory and fame, like the hero's in stories. Eventually he was accepted and he received his horse, whom he named Valere. However, less than a year after that, a large warband that had been gathered by a powerful warlord seeking to unite the orcs of Belkzen turned his attention to the town, lured out half the dragoons, and then attacked the town. It fell, and most everyone in it was killed (around 500 people if that matters) He doesn't know for sure if his sister and brother perished, and he lost contact with the remaining 4 or 5 members left.
After that, his glory seeking was quickly curbed, and he traveled as a mercenary, taking only jobs he deemed good (so, no black work) He came across a baby griffon a year or so ago, saved it, and has been raising it, and lately, trying to train it. He took this job for the reason he did others, It seemed to further good for the decent folk, and would claim more land for civilized society. If by some miracle, he was made baron, or a general or marshal under the new baron, he would take the chance to try and rekindle The Dragoons.
Edit: Role in the kingdom Baron/king, marshal, or general.
In other words, he doesn't particularly desire, or really think he is worthy of the title of baron/king however he would accept it, he would also accept general and or marshal as advisor positions.
Personality:
Calm, good and kind hearted, patient, friendly, blunt, but knows how to be courtly, confident but not conceited, he always seem to be a little tired. As if the world weighs on him a bit much. He has seen, and been through, some rough times and wants to keep others from going through the same thing. He has very few goals in life at the moment, and so has no real energy and keeps on going through sheer determination and force of will. However, he always keeps ears out for anyone matching his siblings descriptions, and, now, he hopes to rekindle The Dragoons in this new kingdom, and one can tell a bit of actual life has returned to him, especially in his eyes.
Ignore the griffon (silverclaw) stat block, it won't be relevant until level 5, but I don't want to delete it and redo it once we hit 5.
I also will need to de-level him a level, but other than that he should be good to go
I have a couple ideas I'm looking into, but I have a few questions.
1) Please ask your group what kinds of roles they are anticipating. I would hate to have two of us aiming at the 'king' such that someone ends up with hurt feelings. (Almost as bad would be if no one wants to be king.)
2) Anyone of them want to be long time friends / relative / partners who would take teamwork feats together?
3) Looks like everyone has fairly light armor. Are you folks planning on a stealthy group? I can make a stealthy frontliner if so.
4) I see you already have one 'pet' classes like cavalier, hunter, or druid? How would you feel about another?
5) You said you have a preference for Core races. How would you feel about a non-core race that is pretending to be a core race. Tengu, Tieflings, Aasimar, and a few others have things they can take to seem like humans. Not in any plans at this time, just thinking of possibilities.
6) Do you allow VMC and/or Hero Points?

1) I have asked that question of the party and have gotten responses from 3 of 5 so far.
2) I'll let the players answer that one themselves3) See answer #2
4) The hunter in the group is a feral hunter, meaning that he does not have the animal companion. No concerns about a pet class.
5) While I do have a strong preference for the core classes, I can be sold on a non-core race with a good story reason.
6) VMC is fine. No hero points.
Any questions, thoughts or concerns about Kain are more than welcome, from GM or current players of course!
and if the party is going stealth, I can help abate the issues a cavalier would bring to that.
Alright, here's Anja of the Inner Iron's profile. She's a monk mechanically, but flavorfully, she's a barbarian from the border of Numeria and southern Brevoy who was part of the Cult of Inner Iron, a heretical branch of Gorumites trying to forge, temper, and sharpen the physical body into a weapon worthy of Gorum. She left the cult when their leader died of a simple illness and wandered into the wilderness, eventually finding her way into the Narlmarches. Right now, she's trying to get out before the wolf-bite on her calf gets infected and kills her.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them here, or to PM them to me.
A lot of intriguing characters here. With that, I'm going to move the close of recruitment to 8:00 pm CST on Friday, January 18th.
My intent is to take the weekend to review the submissions (along with taking the opinions of my current players) and have a decision by no later than the original recruitment end-date of Monday, January 21st at 8:00 pm CST.
Those of you who have put forth a submission, thank you all for the interest. For those of you who are still contemplating a submission, you have just over 48 hours from the time of this post.

Update to Question 1:
The existing characters seem to be leaning towards Magister, High Priestess, Marshal, and either Spymaster or Treasurer.The 5th player who has not responded (for reasons I fully understand at the moment) mechanically would fit as a Ruler, Councilor, or General.
Kain would be happy with General or Ruler if selected, I admit it would be funny if he wound up getting picked and getting that position XD would fit the humble king trope haha.
Just to make a note for kain mechanic/combat wise, While he will focus on mounted combat, I will be striving to make him quite viable even when unmounted and fighting beside his horse/griffon, I know that can be a problem with mounted characters becoming too much of a "one trick pony" pun intended.
I also plan to take leadership to represent him founding The Dragoons when able, Either level 7, or 9. His cohort would be the Second in command, and would be the one to command the knights when Kain can't be there.
I also haven't quite decided on the archtypes, Likely would be gendarme, though I was considering daring general as well. And the Order would differ depending on whether Kain would get the king or general role.
