Pathfinder game ((interest/recruitment))

  Well, an adventure path will probably need a little adjustment for eight people, but ti's not hard at all. 

  Last time I auditioned for this path I brought a paladin.  Since no one has singed up for a cleric yet, I'll send one your way.  :) 

[eBadger]

Yay cleric! 

And yes, it's a lot easier to add in a few extra bad guys to adjust for a larger group than to try to keep a game trudging along with only a couple people after you have drop outs.  And the Law of E is that 1/3 to 1/2 the group will vanish after the first month anyhow :P

[MiraMirror]

If you're just adding in "a few extra bad guys", they need to be really tough then. With a party of 4 mythic characters, you'd be surprised at how much of a stomp it is in the PC's favor, that's all. Like...It's disgusting. That said, I'll be watching from the sidelines anyway. >:3c

[Muse]

 Bah.  :P  The path is built for mythic characters, Shrroth. 

[Muse]

*ponders* 
Haflling, Kitsune, Drow, or Human? 

If a dark elf, she would be an orphan raised at a temple of Saranrae. 

Hm...  :) 

[MiraMirror]

Muse, with all due respect, I've DMed it. It *says* it is build for mythic characters, but 9/10 encounters are not built for mythic. There is literally only one encounter that's difficult, and that's because it's slightly overtuned. Everything else is a curbstomp unless you seriously botch up the dice.

[Muse]

  Ah, okies.  You know more than I do, then. 

  *shrugs*  not trying to start an argument, sorry. 

[MiraMirror]

I didn't mean to come off as aggressive, either. Sorry.

I just mean to say that while I have no doubt you'll all have fun with the campaign itself, it turns into a curbstomp pretty quickly, and it's just an issue, in my opinion. I'm not the DM, however, so I have no say in the matter. ^^ I hope you all have fun anyway, as it's still an amazing story.

[Muse]

:)  Well, he did ask us not to optimize our characters.  *shrugs* 

I'm not exactly known for that.  I like to have a lot of skills that fit my concept.  She'll eventually have Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dancer, Rapid channel, and exclusive Channel, but that could take a bit!  Especially if I wind up needing a feat to get all the appropriate class skills. 

[MiraMirror]

It's less about optimization, to be honest. It's just mythic in general that's blatantly game-breaking, and they just didn't do a great job of accounting for it, that's all. Nothing to do with the players. ^^

Why is it so hard to find a good image of a drow?  They usually get grey skin:

History

Leofwine was raised in Kyonin, but he is not entirely sure where he was born. A woman, most likely his mother, brought him as a young child to a monastery, and asked the monks there to accept the child, for she could not care for it. Being inclined towards good deeds, they were willing to accept this young one into their folds. Thus, the earliest memories Leofwine has is of the monastery, of the monks there, and the daily exercises and training he began when he was still quite young.

He knew little of the outside world, and for the longest of times, he cared little for it. He stayed focused on his own pursuit of self perfection, which did not require him to know of what was occurring in the rest of the world. In time, he did not even care to go out and find his parents, knowing full well that with no real information to go off of, it was pure folly.

One day, however, there was a small fair-well affair for several of the older monks of the monastery. They were leaving to join in a crusade. This sparked curiosity in the young Leofwine, who finally found something to arouse his interest in the world beyond the walls he had become so accustomed to. He decided that, when he was prepared for it, he would leave to join the next crusade.

Time passed. He continued to train, to hone himself. Then, one day, news came about the formation of a new crusade. Leofwine went to the elders of his organization, and asked for their permission to leave. They agreed, and he left on his journey, taking with him what humble offerings the other monks could provide him with.

Code of Conduct

Right View: It is important to reach as great of an understanding of a situation as is possible, when all factors are accounted for. In order to gather such information, one must be willing and able to separate wheat from chaff.
Right Intention: Before undertaking a task, ensure that you have the proper motivations and intent with this action. Correct intent ultimately boils down to the utilitarian ideal of 'the greatest good for the greatest number of people'.
Right Speech: Even when under duress, it is not proper or honorable to tell a lie. Note that if one has been deceived, but is unaware of it, repetition of the deception is not a violation of this portion of the Code; however, with Right View, one should not be deceived.
Right Action: It is not acceptable to merely have Right Intention, but one must also correctly execute the action they have chosen to do. If an innocent suffers from such an action, then reasonable restitution must be given. If a well-intentioned action has far reaching negative repercussions, then one is honor-bound to do everything that one can to stop it, or minimize the damage.
Right Health: To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short. The body, just as the mind and soul, must be nourished with a well balanced diet. To deny ones self sustenance is just as wrong as to over-indulge. In addition, intoxicating substances should, at all costs, be avoided.  It is also right to pursue sexual relations, for chastity would be 'falling short', but one must not indulge wantonness, as that would be 'going beyond'. Additionally, such sexual acts should be done with Right Action and Right Intention.
Right Mind: The mind may be killed in many ways. Emotions of any sort, either a lack or an excess, can be detrimental to the pursuit of Perfect Rightfulness. Therefore, one must resist the temptations of such things as, but not limited to, fear, lust, anger, jealousy, etc.
Right Focus: In the grand scheme of things, one will often be found needing to perform deeds both small and large. In the matters of conflicting orders, or where one has only enough time or resources to devote to a single task, then the task so chosen should, at all times, be that which has been weighed as providing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.

[Chulanowa]

Well, having just mainlined the first five episodes of this seasons' Vikings, I'm going to call Barbarian, Shaman, or Skald, I think.

Something to mull over as I pore over the three classes  ;D

[Harukajunko]

Hey, There is a viking fighter class o.o

[eBadger]

My character is a skald; multiples are no problem but would synergize very well with a barbarian.
