I don’t necessarily have a problem ^^ I was just flagging it as something I noticed because of how close the domains were to each other. We can certainly work something out if the domains stay similar and the gm prefers it.

I also liked your mesmerist character. Nice face claim choice with 2b art. :D
It's okay and the martyr subdomain is indeed a much better choice. :)

Thanks, it took me a while to find that picture but it was worthwhile. I'll be using a blindfolded pic for when she pulls off her eyeball familiar ;D. I also noticed I forgot to write about why she is wearing a parade and a soldier uniform which cover most of her allowed weight and is the reason why she carries no backpack or bedroll, she'll have to look for something who is willing to share. ^^

For Akari I'd recommend combat feats as well? I (or whoever ends up in the actual partying group) can better serve as skillmonkey as needed, unless you'd really prefer those knowledge checks for the sake of characterization.

Also between Kathyan's two ideas I do mildly prefer Marissa b/c cock options but that's a me thing, so ignore me.

Thought/suggestion for the DM, since you'll be putting together a Discord for OOC stuff anyways, and will have at least four non adventuring applications accepted, perhaps those non-party backup members can have their own 'meanwhile at home' casual RP going if they're so inclined, detailing their downtime in the Adventurer's Guild while their erstwhile companions are busy starving to death fending off angry griffons, etc.

Question: How many characters can we submit?

Requests: Elephant in the Room Feat Tax rules, Piercing Thunder Style1, Seize the Opportunity, Spheres of Might

1 While I wouldn't mind Path of War, if that's not gritty enough for you to want to allow, I can grab the feat without meeting prerequisites through either Master of Many Styles monk or Unarmed Fighter... Fighter.

Hexed


Character Name: Belri
Race: Halfling
Nickname: Does not have one.
Gender: Female
Age: 23

Class(es): Witch (Winter Witch)
Level: 1
Rank: Wood.
Sheet: https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2395871  (empty at moment)

Personality: She tries very hard to temper her natural bounciness with the calm and collectedness belonging to her faith. She fails for the most part to the amusement of those around her. While she's not faced much if any actual combat beyond a few skirmishes during training and in battle she does her best to bring a deep freeze to her foes.

Alignment: Neutral

History: Belri was born in the depths of winter to the druidess Nelret and the woodsman Tels and as a child was always drawn to the cold places. When she was five she went missing for two days during a blizzard only to be found curled up in rough igloo of snow talking to a pure white rabbit. The hare whispers many things to her or so she claims and she made sure to take good care of the little one. Despite being an energetic hellion the church of the White Queen was where she wound up, the head priest seeming to find the sight of the squirming lass trying to sit through a sermon funny. Years pass with her learning from her parents or the various churchgoers and she grows out if not up. A fact that her playmates enjoyed when she was chased out of the house for freezing too many things as her gifts with cold had left her adverse to heat and even in the dead of winter you'd rarely catch her in more then a cloak and thin dress. When she chose to not follow either of her parents paths but to become an adventurer it wasn't for fame or fortune or for the chance to fight as a few of her frends did she did it to experience the world and protect people.

--------

God's Name: White Queen
God's Title: Goddess of Judging Winter
Alignment: Neutral
Favored Weapon: Lantern Staff
Domains: Darkness, Catastrophe, Erosion, Rites, Travel, Ice, Weather
Divine Fighting Technique: Way of Hunger would fit even if different weapon. Dunno otherwise.

The White Queen watches all who travel through the snow and ice from the lightest of dustings to the heaviest blizzards. For the most part she simply watches and lets their own actions save or doom them. But a few she deems innocent or fallen and she sends her followers to help or hinder as her decision lay. The young and those that have done the propper offerings are usually saved but if she has deemed you fallen then there is very little you can do to prevent a slow death by freezing lost in the depths of the snow.



So my first set of rolls didn't come out to good.

Better at least. Not as outrageous as some of the ones I've seen but not half dead.

And despite all the questions went winter witch if only to have some utility with my blasting.

We have interest from people to play "normal" martials, quite a lot in fact, so I'm not sure about Path of War for this game (aside from the potential tonal clash too, which is a concern). While I like it in general, the classes from it generally outshine normal martials since that was the entire point of the book. Also, getting AoOs against anything moving into your reach sounds rather powerful. As such, for Path of War, I'd like feedback from everyone else so far first, which I'll collect once the discord server is fully operational and I got everyone invited. So its not a no, its a "gonna take a moment". Seize the Opportunity as a feat is fine, so feel free to count that as allowed.

For Elephant in the Room... sure, why not? Getting rid of feat taxes is rarely a bad thing.

Hello, Silim
I have some questions :
1/ What is the deadline to propose a concept for a character ?2/ For example, a savage tribu can be considered as monsters because they are not considered as civilized, can you explain what is not allowed for the guild with a character with different culture, customs and backgrounds ?3/ Only one post per week ?4/Is it possible to create a "god" by using an idol or stimulating a belief ?
5/Do you authorize  the hero points system or antiheroes rules ?
1. No set deadline for now, but probably no more than a week from now.
2. The only things considered monsters are species not listed among the playable ones. All orcs are considered monsters, because the chief god of the world made sure they would be, for example. The Adventurer's Guild would only care about your culture if your culture somehow actively supported monsters and hadn't been wiped out by them yet.
3. One post per week is the minimum I want. More is welcome if its possible for us of course.
4. No new Gods can be born via worship in this World, no. Technically all Gods come from different planes and were "invited" to participate in the World the God of Chance created.
5. We won't be using hero points or antihero rules. Guild rank will have a boosting effect to characters if you rank up, but in what way I'm keeping secret for now.



Good thing you all cleared up the god thing without me even getting to it in time, great initiative from you all! That would've indeed been a potential issue if Gods end up too similar since we won't have that many.

Now, @Kathyan your two PCs, I don't dislike either necessarily, but I think that a straight up futa clashes pretty harshly with the tone, so I prefer the first simply for setting cohesion.

@Hexed, great character so far!

Character Name: Rogan
Race: Human
Nickname:
Gender: Male
Age: 28

Class(es): Fighter
Level: 1
Rank: Wood
Sheet: mythweaver sheet incoming

Personality: Rogan is a recovering alcoholic prone to acting and speaking before a thought crosses his mind. Brash, bold, and boisterous, his over-confident banter often gets him in trouble!
Alignment: Chaotic Good
History: Rogan is tired of being thought of as some incompassionate thug. Sure, a lot of his career has been spent working for the unsavory underworld as an enforcer for low-level gangsters where he spends days boozing and evenings knocking out teeth, but that's not all he is. He has layers and the older he gets, the more he wishes people would see past his muscly exterior and into his complex heart. He's got hopes and dreams just like anyone else, and he's finally decided to break out of the comfort of petty criminal life and really make a name for himself doing something way more rewarding: adventuring! He still gets paid to beat people up, but in this context it's heroic. Unfortunately for him, he's not being sent to bully pompous cityfolk or simple countryfolk and he may be in for a rude awakening when his normal methods of persuasion fail to work.

I personally prefer to avoid Path of War. 

I'm 100% neutral on Elephant in the Room.  I roll my eyes on the ranting against the standard feat system, it's just fine the way it is.  Elephant in the room is also--in my extremely limited experience, just fine the way it is.  I hadn't chosen a feat yet so I wouldn't need to change anything.  I actually have some fondness for Point Blank Shot--which i know EitR believers constantly rake across the coals, but if Elephant in the Room gets applied I can take far shot at first level, and that's rather nice.  :)

With Elephant in the room I belive there is no need for Path of war. the classes are indeed much stronger and verstile than normal martial classes, and as far as i've seen we have a rogue, a fighter and a monk submitted.
After some consideration and rereading the classes of PoW a bit I'm against it.

No prob, she could just be female and if it's fine said cock would be a dildo instead.

I still have to decide between my two chars though.

About path of war, classes are stronger than normal indeed but I have nothing against it.

Character Name: Saint XIX
Race: Android (Think Steam and arcane energy powered)  I know this isn't one of the starting races but I thought I'd roll it out and see if it gets greenlit.  It's something I've been chewing on for a while and inspired/stolen from a few different intellectual properties.
Nickname: None as yet.
Gender: Non-binary with male tendencies in tone of voice which comes out in a low, gear-grindy drone.
Primary Sexual Characteristic: No genitalia.  More sex opportunities for everyone else as Saint XIX most likely won't be getting involved in any sexual shenanigans.
Age: Creation date - 3 years.  / Programming - Saint XIX could be considered roughly seventy-five years old.

Class(es): Cleric
Level: 1
Rank: Wood
Sheet: I prefer myth-weavers, but you may use any sheet that displays all the info we need at a glance.

Personality: Saint XIX is programmed to believe in the Nine Rigal Prophecies and that he is tasked with protecting the Chosen One. (The Chosen One is one of the other characters.  Assigned by the GM or chosen at random. ) It's possible that Saint XIX is an annoyance to The Chosen One but the construct is very much focused upon it's primary guidance; that which is protect and support The Chosen One.  Aside from that, Saint XIX has a keen sense of community and justice.  Follow all regional laws.  Do harm only when there is no recourse.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
History: Saint XIX was created in the Temple of Calibretto.  The temple is populated primarily with humans and dwarves who believe in the word and the ways of the God-Construct, Calibretto.  Saint XIX has been issued it's primary directive which is to protect and support The Chosen One.  It's not particularly spoken about that Calibretto has identified a number of "Chosen Ones" over the years; most of which are invariably killed or amount to very little.  The faithful of Calibretto and Saint XIX however believe this time...they got it right.  Calibretto; the light in the dark; the battle brand; fate-warden is never wrong...right?

--------

God's Name: Calibretto
God's Title: Fate - Warden, The Battle Brand, The Light in the Dark
Alignment: Neutral
Favored Weapon: Shield
Domains: Death, Healing, Knowledge, Repose, Ancestors, Resurrection, Thought

Character Name: Seraphina Bellatoria
Race: Human
Nickname: Serabella
Gender: Female
Primary Sexual Characteristic: Female
Age: 18

Class(es): Gunslinger (Musket Master)
Level: 1
Rank: Wood
Sheet: Myh-Weavers

Personality: Seraphina is a friendly, kind-hearted, and somewhat eccentric individual. Born and indoctrinated to what is effectively a gun-worshipping cult, Sera was taught discipline, compassion, cooperation and teamwork...as well as gunslinging, glory seeking, and a frankly unhealthy reverence for warfare. For the most part Seraphina comes across a perfectly normal, some of the stranger facets of her faith only slipping out occasionally, usually making for a jarring contrast. She's also a strangely hard drinker for her age, always carrying around a flask of whiskey masking as a holy symbol of the church.

Alignment: Neutral Good

History: It is said that Kaliber was among the last of the Gods to commune with mortals, for until the first gun was fired she had not yet considered them worthy. The church of the High Lady Kaliber is a relatively new, but fast rising religion, growing to considerable size and influence in just a few generations. They are an eccentric bunch, almost seeming to worship their muskets just as much as, if not more than, the Goddess herself. Sermons etched in cold steel and prayers whispered in black powder are their holy rituals, and they dedicate their lives to honing their skills so they may die with a gun in hand and challenge their goddess to a duel to decide the fate of their souls.

Seraphina is an acolyte of the church, her parents high ranking gunsmiths and dealers (arms dealing being one of the church's main sources of revenue). Like many born into the faith she was trained from a young age to be a deadly and disciplined fighter first and foremost. Sera turned out to be a natural at it, soaking up whatever training and teachings they threw at her, and it became clear early on that her talents would be wasted following her parent's path as a simple smith. She is currently in training to become a fully fledged war priestess, an Iron Maiden. Since Kaliber only gifts her holy power to those whose deeds draw her eye, Sera has joined the adventurer's guild in hopes of impressing her goddess with her daring feats and questing.

You can use half-elf (being half-drow is as simple as saying you are and having dusky grey skin, picking the racial trait bundle for half-Drow is optional). Drow actually have different abilities and stats than ordinary elves, but they're on the pfsrd. You can use them, they exist in the setting and aren't monsters/always evil, though they do live underground and thus rarely interact with others, aside from adventurers that go above ground instead of adventuring solely beneath.

Character Name: Grey
Race: Human
Nickname: Greybeard, Daddy
Gender: Male
Age: 27

Class(es): Cleric
Level: 1 is the loneliest number
Rank: Wood
Sheet: Charsheet

Personality:There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” - Patrick Rothfuss

Grey is a warm, caring man who will lay down his life for those he considers to be under his care. He will leap to someone's defense far more quickly than he will leap to attack. If there is a responsibility to be shouldered, he will be the first to bear it's weight. He is acutely (painfully) aware of his own deficiencies and is not too proud to admit when he is proven wrong, or when someone else knows more than him (especially those of the arcane persuasion). He enjoys good drink, good food, and soft company. While his mentor warned him to take care of himself first, in order to make sure he can also take care of others, this is a lesson he still has yet to fully absorb and appreciate.

Alignment: True Neutral

History: Grey's name comes from the wisps of grey that threaded through his hair since the day he was born. While Grey was born blessed in many respects, growing into a hale, strong, kindly young man... his parents were a wizard and an alchemist of esteemed rank from the local adventurer's guild. While they loved their son, it was difficult for them to see past how much longer he took to start speaking than other children, and their concerns were only compounded by his seeming inability to master even the most basic of extracts or the most simple of cantrips. The wonders of the arcane world felt impenetrable to him, and it deeply strained their familial relationship. They felt they were failures as parents, and he felt himself a failure as a son, both struggling to find a way to bridge the gap between them.

It was the intervention of an old guildmate of theirs that illuminated a different path that Grey could walk, and while parents were dubious, in truth, Grey was relieved to finally have someone tell him he didn't have to follow in his parents footsteps anymore, that there were more possibilities to explore. In the end, despite his late start, he studied under the cleric Magda, nicknamed "Luckbender". When she considered his training complete (when he became aware of the game mechanics), she offered him some old gear and the name of a small hamlet a week's journey away, where his parents had undertaken their first quests. Determined to prove his worth and the worth of the path he's carving to his parents (and, in truth, to himself as well), Grey set out on an adventure.

Character Name: Gerard
Race: Human
Nickname: None as of yet
Gender: Male
Primary Sexual Characteristic: Identifies and presents as a Pansexual male
Age: 23

Class(es): Soulknife(Brutality Blade)
Level: 1
Rank: Wood
Sheet: https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2396549

Personality: Really a man that wears his heart on his sleeve, easy to read and easy to trust others. He tends to take the world at face value, a little more gullible than others and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. A trait that got him in a lot of trouble and would have meant an end to his adventure before it began if he was not so fucking tough. He readily laughs, he enjoys drink and song with friends.

He has a fascination with fire, a small flame enough to calm his emotions for a bit and allow him to focus his mind. He tends to carry either a flint or steal or a tinder box around with him for just such a case.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
History: The Order of Xion is a Meditative order of soul knives, they seek the perfection of the body through the sharpening of the minds blade. Wisdom at the edge of a sword, Gerard completely flunked out of that group. To emotional for his own good, and lacking in the ability to take a hint at times. He was eventually expelled from the order after during a spar he manifested his rage blade for the first time and almost took the head off his opponent. Though they did not leave him with nothing, a set of Chain was given to him, and basic supplies before he was sent out into the world. Eventually he found his way to the Adventurer's guild, a place he could make his way in the world.

With all these great concepts coming in, I'm going to say that pitches need to be made until Friday this week. No need for a completed character sheet yet, but a complete personality, background and god are required.
