A Medieval Post-Apocalyptic Kingmaker Adventure. RE- Recruitment for PREVAIL! with GM Mustache.

[GM Mustache]

Hello Paizo Boards!

We launched a discord based 16 player PBP game two months ago and it is going well. We lost a player for a life-situation, and need a replacement.

The group is in need of a ranged damage character, either physical or magical. Alchemist, wizard,arcanist,occultist, kineticist, and magus are off the table. Others may also be because in the party of 16, I am trying not to have 2 of anyone class. Please run your class past me before you spend too much time on your idea.

Follow the direction from the original recruitment post, HERE.

With the following changes: Create the character at level 3, with 2000 gold worth of equipment.

Also, you may pick from the following sets of mutations:

Serpentine: Caught in a green energy wave with a passing snake, your DNA mingled with its and left you with several serpentine attributes.
Greater: Cobra spit: As a full-round action, you can spit poison up to 10 feet as a ranged touch attack. If you hit, the target must make a successful Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d6 rounds. The DC of this save is equal to 12 + 1/2 your character level. You can use this ability once per day plus one additional time per day for every three levels you have.
Lesser: Serpent Eyes: You gain low-light vision.
Bad: Hairless: You have absolutely no hair on your body, and are often cold. On fall and spring days when the weather is anything but normal, and every day in the winter, make a Fortitude DC12 + 1/2 character level or be Fatigued for the day.

OR

Leaper: Caught in a green energy the same time as a passing marsupial, your DNR intermingled with its. Strangely enough, you had a fear of heights before you gained this amazing leaping ability, and it hasn't gone away. Going too high up in the air or standing on the edge of a cliff or roof of a tall house, etc makes you dizzy and sweaty! It seems the gods have a very bad sense of humor.
Greater: Kangaroo: Your powerful legs allow you to bound across the battlefield. When you move, you can choose to leap 10 feet in the air over medium sized friend and foes. You go the horizontal distance equal to your movement speed. You provoke an attack of opportunity if you leave a threatened square but you do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you land or as you move. Exception: Large (tall) or larger enemies get an attack of opportunity if you jump through or past their squares.
Lesser: You automatically make any jump going your horizontal movement speed or 10 feet vertical. DC's for all further or higher jumps are reduced by 20.
Bad: When presented by a common place item or situation, you must make a Will Save DC12+ 1/2 character to avoid being shaken. Failure by 5 causes you to be frightened , with a new save each turn. Phobia: Heights over 10 feet tall.

OR

Green Energy Caster. A caster before the bombs fell, you have found that the green energy has only made you more powerful. You are obsessed with it.
Greater: Combustible Radiation: You can lace any elemental evocation spell with Green Energy. When you do so, reduce the DC of the spell by the spell level (max 4) and automatically deal 1 constitution damage per spell level (max 4) in addition to the spells normal effects. Enemies immune to poison are unaffected.
Lesser: Radiation Surge: Once a day, you can release a green energy power surge that gives you a +8 bonus to one d20 roll
Bad: Obsessive: When presented by a common place item or situation, you must make a Will Save DC12+ 1/2 character level to avoid doing something obsessive compulsive. Green Energy: When you see a concentration of green energy, you must enter the cloud and stay there for at least 30 seconds. Being unable to approach will give you the fascinated condition and you will instead stare at it from afar. If this happens in battle, you get a new will save each turn.

Deadline: Sunday night 3/31 or when I see an entry that blows me away!

I'm a player in this game and highly recommend it! Look forward to playing with the successful players

[Balaghara]

would a sorcerer of elemental or orc bloodline fit?
Just want to check as well, are the variant tieflings fine for race?
And we just get to choose one of these mutation combos rather than roll for it right?

[GM Mustache]

Sorcerer is fine, those bloodlines are fine.

No more tieflings, we have two of those already.

And yes, just pick one set of mutations that fits you best.

backstory:

Steady and safe my father always taught me, avoid the adventuring life your mother chose. Something I had put to heart for far too long. Before the bombs fell I was an architect, keeping my head down and generally avoiding the adventuring lifestyle that so many in the world were drawn to. Architecture seemed the perfect job, given my affinity for the earth and that it would keep me out of harm's way. No one ever got killed designing buildings.
That all changed the day the bombs fell, I had been working on a long term project at Vigil in Lastwall and was nearly finished when the bombs begin to dot the sky. Nobody knew what the bombs were and before anyone could even act it was too late, Vigil fell and I was trapped beneath the very structures I had designed.
For what seemed like weeks I languished in this strange green energy that now permeated the area. My terror grew with each passing moment and for the first time in years my mind went to my mother, had I failed her by living by my father's words? I wondered if either had even survived, that terrified me too. I needed to know for certain and so I had to survive, but in this moment I felt I had to be like my mother, like an adventurer.
My only sustenance was a single drip of green water that I managed to get into my mouth between the cracks and with each drop the green energy that pulsed around me seemed more alluring. I know it is the green energy that kept me alive and my thoughts became focused on it in my time alone. I was barely conscious when the other survivors dug me out of the wreck, they thought I was one of the monsters appearing in the wake of the bombs based off my appearance. My blurted common was all that stayed their weapons and even still, these other survivors didn't trust me. I asked them about the green energy for I needed to know more, but they grew further distant with each question. They were more concerned with finding other survivors, many came and went. Weeks passed with us lingering in the ruins of Vigil, I suppose it was a kindness that they brought me food and water for I had eyes only for the green energy and would sit within it for hours at a time in meditation. No one ever joined me.
In passing I heard a name mentioned...Prevail? They said survivors were gathering together in the Fangwood to the south, many argued we were doing better here. In the moment I had no time for such arguments, I was still drawn to the green energy. So much did it absorb my attention that when next I left the green energy I was alone, they had all left. For a time I wondered if they had ever truly been there. While I knew that they green energy would keep me safe the old feelings that had turned me away from adventuring began to creep back and I felt fear for the first time since I was trapped after the bombs fell. But I felt different, I knew I didn’t need to fear adventure as I once had, I felt I had true power now thanks to the green energy. I made a choice then, that I would go and find Prevail and learn what they knew of the green energy and teach them what I knew. I had lost a lot of time in the green energy, but I felt the power it had given me. It was difficult to resist the green energy now but I needed to find allies and Prevail was the only option I knew I had. I wasted no time in beginning my journey south, staying as close to the green energy as I could.

[GM Mustache]

Thanks for the submission! I appreciate how closely you tied your backstory to your mutation.

[Balaghara]

glad you liked it, the world sounds fun!

[JamZilla]

It's anything but fun. It's an everyday slog of survival against all odds. But we are loving it :)

[Balaghara]

haha I suppose fun might have been the wrong word to use :P

[caster4life]

Haha. It's fun in the sense of "this is a gripping game I can't put down."

[GM Mustache]

Welcome Balaghara! I'm sure the party will be happy to have you. I'll send a discord link.
