Pathfinder Gothic - Recruiting [Fantasy, Supernatural, Horror]

[ShinigamiWolf]

Color me interested. I'm looking at doing a Ranger/Inquisitor. Probably more ranger than inquisitor.

Human, something to give that grizzled there for the job feel.

I'll get a proper backstory and the like up later. It's a bit late for me at the moment but inspiration struck and I wanted to try and come up with something useful.

Question; I have 70 points to distribute among my skills, yes?

[firepyre]

Guys, I'd rather you got your concepts done FIRST. I don't care about your crunch yet. From my position, working on crunch before you've even done the basics I've asked for says you care more about the mechanics than the character... In which case this probably isn't the game for you.

You'll have plenty of time to sort out and tweak up character sheets during the introduction. Forum games are slow.

[ShinigamiWolf]

Forgive me, but crunch gives me a template to springboard story off of. What did he do to achieve being X level, why is he adapt with x skill, where did event caused him to have x trait. My background comes from my crunch otherwise I write beyond what my crunch can back up and then to me I can't back up what I originally wrote.

  Assuming you aren't taking extra skill points for your favoured class bonus, yes. If you are, then you have 80.

I'm the same way. In addition, not being caught up with the numbers bothers me far more than not having a history at the moment.

  Assuming you aren't taking extra skill points for your favoured class bonus, yes. If you are, then you have 80.

I don't believe I can, since it's a 3rd party option.

[ShinigamiWolf]

Apologies, I will bow out then iif you feel based on my way of doing things I will not fit for what you desire.

[LisztesFerenc]

I don't believe I can, since it's a 3rd party option.

  What's a 3rd party option? Your race? They still get favoured class bonuses.

[persephone325]

I'm playing a Changeling Bard.

[LisztesFerenc]

  They get favoured class bonuses. Its not limited to the core races or anything.

Ohhh. Alrighty then.

[firepyre]

What I'm asking for isn't something complicated, or even particularly time consuming. It doesn't need to be down to the minutiae, just a general gist of the character you want to play. Appearance, personality, background. You can play with the details as you see fit later.

I don't think maybe half an hour of work to keep me happy is unreasonable. If you still disagree with my position on this, then yes, you would be better served looking elsewhere.

PS: 2 days till deadline.

[persephone325]

>.< So, some RL stuff has come up for me and I'm worried I won't have the time to devote to this.

Sorry for flaking out. I just...didn't expect this to happen. My apologies...

[firepyre]

Sadly, the deadline has come, and due to lack of interest, this game will not be going ahead. Thanks to the three players who took the time to write up a character, and my apologies as well. I look forward to seeing you all in other games in the future.

[eBadger]

Thanks for your work trying to put this together, let me know if you ever start up another pathfinder game!

[Ixy]

Thanks for trying to get this going.  I would love to participate in a game like this in the future, so please keep me in mind.
