[PF] Rise of the Runelords - Recruitment Closed

[Re Z L]

With all the other adventure paths being run I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring as well. I'm planning to run the anniversary edition of the RotRL AP.

Some basic rules:

Source material:  Any official Pathfinder book (ie. not third party stuff).  I'd prefer to limit everything to http://www.d20pfsrd.com/home just for ease of reference, but that's not to say something in a book that isn't on the SRD site isn't allowed, just ask if you're unsure and I'll probably say yes (I'm flexible).  Additionally the player's guide for this adventure path is located here:  http://paizo.com/products/btpy8tgl?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Rise-of-the-Runelords-Anniversary-Edition-Players-Guide

Starting level:  Level 1.  The adventure will take us all the way through to around level 15-17.

Ability Scores:  20 point buy as per http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/ability-scores#TOC-Generating-Ability-Scores

Hit Points:  Max hit points for first level.  Subsequent levels will be half your class's hit die plus 1 (ex.  a Rogue has a d8, half of that is 4, plus 1 is 5).

Starting Wealth:  Average gold as per your character class as well as one free outfit costing 10 gold or less.

Traits:  2 Traits at the player's option

Applications:  You don't need a fully fleshed out character, a background with some additional character details is fine; such as personality, description (picture optional, but encouraged), class, and party role.

Number of players:  I'm looking for somewhere between 6-8 players, leaning more towards the lower end for the time being, but I do like large groups  ;D

Due Date:  I'd like to leave this open for recruitment for about a week--maybe less if interest seems to die out--to make sure enough people get the chance to respond.  This means the game will most likely begin a week from friday (3 May).

I think that just about covers everything...

So let me know if you're interested!  ;D

I'll play never did an adventure path before, and the SRD is fine. What level to start?

[Re Z L]

Knew I'd forget something!

Level 1 to start out. The AP is designed to take us to around level 17ish.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

I'm interested as well.  ;D

[Anon315]

I've always wanted to play RuLo. I'm in JR, but not this one. Should we look at the player's guide or anything to know a premise? Is there a player's guide?

[RubySlippers]

Good and I assume Kits are okay if official and what about alternative racial traits I have access to the OGL source?

Right now I will like to run a Halfling sorcerer or wizard her stature will be little but her spells as big as any big races.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Why not just allow all Official Paizo Pathfinder material(Core Book, Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Race Guide, Ultimate books, etc)?

[Re Z L]

Why not just allow all Official Paizo Pathfinder material(Core Book, Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Race Guide, Ultimate books, etc)?

As far as I know most/all of that material is available on http://www.d20pfsrd.com/home

If something is missing just ask, I'll probably say yes.

I made the original post from my phone earlier, so I'm going to go back and make a few edits so all of the pertinent information is on the first post for everyone to read  ;D

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Wasn't sure, I just knew the 3.5 SRD was the bare bones of the system.

[AndyZ]

I'll sign on for this.  Dunno what I'll make yet though.

[RubySlippers]

Okay I have Wyssal the Halfling wizard, not sure of archetypes and school yet. I have the idea to work on Arcane Armor Training for 3rd Level so she is designed accordingly.

Should be pretty capable as it looks now.


EDIT:

Wyssal
Halfling Wizard
Archetype [none]
Arcane School [Univeral]
Opposition Schools - Illusion and Necromancy

Wyssal is this adorable little Halfling woman with shiny and sparkly bits, odd symbols and common Halfling clothing with faire hair and dark eyes. She wields the Halfling sized quarterstaff [Crookedrune] an item that is her Arcane Focus and she plans to enchant it up later on. [weapon not a staff]

Hailing from the local Halfling communities and fortunate enough to train in magic she views it as an equalizer her magic spells are as big as any Bigger Race so its fair, her family are all farming folk with crafting skills and all but she found that so boring. Was considered talented by the Hedge Wizard Hobblenose who taught her.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

So far my only ideas are either a pyromaniac(either Alchemist or Wizard) gnome or a something gunslinger.

[Muse]

Oh! 

Room for me?

I've been wanting to play my Aasimar Gunslinger (musket master) for a while, but I should probably come out with a cleric.  (No one ever wants to play a cleric but me.  :P  ) 

[Re Z L]

Always room for more applicants  ;D

You're the fifth person so far to express interest.

Application

Joran the Bow
Half-Elf Cleric of Erastil

Personality: Joran is a beacon of all that is good and proper. He radiates good, to the point that the thought of him even committing a foul act seems beyond possibility. It probably is. He treats everyone with respect, even those who make themselves his enemy. He has no qualms about violence, and is even a hunter, but he shows great reverence and respect for his quarry as well as any enemies he makes.

History: Left at a church shortly after his birth due to being born a half-elf, he spent his entire childhood and most of his adult life up to now in the church in one capacity or another. In childhood the church sheltered him from the greatest amount of the harm that would be a result of his half-breed nature. By the time it became apparent, he could generally pass himself off as pure-bred elf, though to the careful observer it was fairly obvious he was more hale and hearty than most of those kin. He follows Erastil, and has devoted himself to the work of the church. He teaches the use of the bow and takes care of animal problems plaguing local farmers. At current, he is on a pilgrimage to Sandpoint, to visit the newly completed cathedral.

Role: Ranged Support / Healer / Buffer

[Ebb]

I'm interested in joining as a fairly basic Dwarven ranger.

Dunn Brakov, Dwarven Ranger

http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=12146

History: Dunn hails from the village of Sweetspring, in the Calphiak Mountains. Nothing remains of the village now. Three years ago Sweetspring was attacked by family of hill giants wishing to claim the town's eponymous water source as their own. The giants were defeated, but the victory was pyrrhic. The third of the village that remained alive had no heart to remain near a spring now polluted with the blood of their clansmen. Dunn left with a burning desire for vengeance in his heart, but enough wisdom to know that seeking out giants in single combat was suicide. He needed to hone his weaponcraft first, which is unfortunate for any goblins or others who now cross his path. He has come to Sandpoint hoping to find like-minded adventurers in a region rumored to host more than a few of the hated giants.

Personality: At heart Dunn still believes that people are good, but that fate is cruel and cannot be guarded against. At any time the roof of the tunnel might collapse, or a monster far stronger than you might stumble across your path. He bears a fierce loyalty to whomever he chooses as his companions; he has lost enough in this life already. Dunn bears no illusions about nobility when it comes to combat, and is more than willing to employ tactics or dirty tricks when it comes to life and death situations.

Role: Melee combatant with some ranged ability, which should develop over time.

[AndyZ]

She needs a bit more polish, but here's Aria Starshine, the Half-Elf Paladin.

Wow you guys are quick, we're submitting applications then? Hmm

That's what the opening post said to do.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Must've missed that

Oh and what is the expected level of erotic content that will be in this campaign?

[Callie Del Noire]

Interested..but wondering what you need.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

So far I believe we have a Cleric, Ranger and Paladin, with someone who's voiced interest in a gunslinger, and as for myself I'm not entirely sure yet.

The application thing makes me feel bit rushed.

[Callie Del Noire]

Remin the Claw

Name: Remin The Claw
Race: Catfolk
Class: Fighter

Background: He recalls a little of his childhood, before the Chelaxians who brought him to the north. A land of trees to the north and a hot dry land of grass where his family hunted the tall grass. Then there was blood and fire. Then he was taken and sold. Again and again. He learned to speak Common in the sands of Orsirion, he learned to hit a man hard enough to beat him to death when he was taken to Westcrown in Chelliax. A brawler and then a warrior, trained with sword and shield. Then he went west with his master.. to Korvosa. There one night..he stood tall over the bodies of sixteen bandits, tired and bloodly with a stolen sword and door in hand. The only one who remained standing beside his master.

For saving him, he was given his freedom, the blade he had taken and a handful of gold to make his way. Not many jobs for a cat-man so far from his home and in lands where men were beholden to Devils. So he took his money and freedom, collected the scalps of the men he'd killed for their bounties and headed towards Riddleport to find a way home.

or..

Something like this...

Name: Lissa of Korvosa
Class: Wizard (Evoker)
Race: Human (Chelaxian) (Or possibly Tiefling if allowed)
Background: Born and raised in Korvosa, the magical academy, she had never known anything beyond the study of magic till recently when she impulsively took her new standing as a graduate of the school to collect her meager trust and leave. She headed south to investigate the Cyphergate in Riddleport.

Misti Amala: An Angel with a Shotgun

   One day, about 69 years ago, a baby in a basket was left on the doorstep of the temple of Torag.  The babe was rather striking, with endless black eyes that had an amethyst luminescence in the right light.  The priests who examined her believed she had angelic blood.  They took her in.  An engineer-nun named Amala took responsibility for her care, and gave her the name Misti. 

   Misti proved to have a very long childhood.  She Amala and her step sister grew old.  This made her very sad and drove her to spend time with the few more long lived temple residents and distance herself from others.  Nixi—a gnomish alchemist—and Rinda—a half elf temple guard—became her friends and teachers. 

   One day, she found a beat up old musket in the vaults and received permission to make a project of repairing it and learning its use.  She mastered it and spent the first years of her adulthood in the temple guard.  She maintains this career today, but grows restless, wanting to have adventures and see the world.
