Maybe. Depends on the character concept. If you're squishy and weak as a kitten caster, I be okay going low on Strength or Constitution. I'd say, probably not if you're going to dump mental stats, esp Charisma.
Since if you're Cha is below 10 you smell bad and the party doesn't want to travel with you. Or something.
Just don't be cheap about it.

How about PM it to me? Then you can keep details to yourself if you wish.
I'm still getting used to the site layout.

Anyway, I'll have some plot pitches to see what y'all think is interesting.

I'm thinking the Synthesist will have all around low physical stats in the vein of Raistlin Majere and Elric of Melnibone. He looked for a way to improve his natural frailty and discovered a ritual that allowed him to bind an eidolon to himself, giving himself the strength, grace, and toughness of an eidolon.

Mantis Shrimp Prime · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2015, 10:44:39 pm »

So let me pitch this. I'm thinking the party would start out imprisoned.
The immediate starting action would be the escape sequence.
Initial conflict would surround possible seeking revenge/intrigue regarding their captor, though could diverge in other directions depending on player choice and what kind of motivations your characters have.

Thinking the initial setting would be urban, a very large, thriving and mysterious metropolis, a city you might have heard of but have never been to.

Oh, regarding characters. I'd like a brief write-up on their personality/background and like... 3 characters goals or motivations. Since I'm very into tailoring the plot to characters.
As far as "character sheet" stuff, I leave that up to you how you want to format it.

I like that Idea though my only question is how would they get all their gear were working on spending 10500 gp on?

It'll be locked up in the storage room next to the cells.

Ill write up a criminal then

Mantis Shrimp Prime · « **Reply #33 on:** January 09, 2015, 12:38:25 am »

Note you're not in prison from crimes, you've been abducted for mysterious reasons.
But you can still be a criminal anyway.

I like the city setting, Mantis. Is this goloarion? More improtantly, what are the religons like? Should i make a cleric of a pathfinder deity? Or faerun? OR can I make one up?

Nah, it's not Golarion, it'll be original.
Probably reminiscent of Sigil, minus the whole portals thing.

You can select a deity from any setting you like or make one up. I sometimes crib deities from various settings. Vecna's a perennial favorite.
Typical D&D/fantasy religions do exist. Though a lot are atheists too and clerics don't need a deity to manipulate divine energies.

Muse · « **Reply #37 on:** January 09, 2015, 01:53:29 am »

Hm...

*Grins*

Okay, so having looked at builds, I'm thinking I'd like to do an Aasimar cleric--a big guy with a two handed weapon--or a human oracle.

*peeks head in* U-Um.. Muse-sama said I should come ask if you guys maybe umm.. needed a sorceress?

OyabunKobold · « **Reply #39 on:** January 09, 2015, 02:11:03 am »

mayhaps we could use a magically inclined person never hurts to throw together a char and try :3

Karasu · « **Reply #40 on:** January 09, 2015, 02:16:25 am »

If the umm GM is alright with it.. all I need to knwo is how stats are done and starting gold and level..

Muse · « **Reply #41 on:** January 09, 2015, 02:20:34 am »

Level five.

Stats: Base 10 in each, add 20.

Starting gold for 5 is 10,500.

Mantis Shrimp Prime · « **Reply #42 on:** January 09, 2015, 02:26:47 am »

Oh, and on other thing to keep in mind.
I do my own "take" on a lot of things, especially monsters.
So don't assume monsters are the same as presented in the bestiary/monster manual.

The biggest example being dragons. I don't do the standard hierarchy of power or the assumption that color strictly equal species/element.

Things like that. So don't be all "wtf" is there's a WHITE fire-breather or something.

Muse · « **Reply #43 on:** January 09, 2015, 02:43:04 am »

I hope the references in this guy's religion aren't too bad. (Still working on him.)

More religions should have dedicated brewers.

Muse · « **Reply #45 on:** January 09, 2015, 03:07:09 am »

*Gins* it's the family trade, but I totally agree. : )

Are we going to wind up refugees? Or should we dedicate money to living expenses?

Mantis Shrimp Prime · « **Reply #46 on:** January 09, 2015, 03:09:25 am »

Well, you'll be in a city.
And you'll have the chance to rob the place you're being held captive on the way out.

Muse · « **Reply #47 on:** January 09, 2015, 03:47:51 am »

*nods* :)

I just meant, will we be hiding out in the slums afterwards? Or will I be able to go live in my home again, talk to other members of my church, and check on the aple brandy brewing in my vats. :)

Muse · « **Reply #48 on:** January 09, 2015, 03:57:57 am »

I have a request.

Can the Lord of the Morning's fire domain grant Flame Blade as it's second level domain spell?

Nah, you'll be free to go to wherever.
Though the idea is that you've been abducted to a strange city by a mysterious individual and are rather far from home (unless player consensus hates that idea).
