[OOC] Pathfinder: Second Darkness

Aeson · Oct 15, 2009

This is an out of character thread for my Second Darkness game. Please post characters and comments here.

So, as we talked, I think I'll be doing the Barbarian Cleric. So, have you yet given thought on the starting level yet?

I would like to suggest at least 2 so that I can start with both classes

I'm interested. Any specifics (use of traits, generating abilities, allowed classes...)?

Here the background of my Half-Orc Druid (made him for this path, but we didn't came far (TRM's Second Darkness):

[sblock=Background]
[sblock=Image]

[/sblock]
Rorgar has lived his early life as a little dog biter in the seedier parts of Riddleport. His first memory is of himself avoiding to become pigmeat beyond the waves. As an orphan who didn't know if all this was a terrible accident or if his own parents tried to hush him, Rorgar had a difficult early life.
His life changed after trying to pick-pocket an elderly man he thaught to be just another soggy plum. The man revealed himself to be a druid and he saw potential in Rorgar. Thinking that better than ending in an earth bath, he followed him. There, he grew strong and wise.
This sect venerates more primal powers an less nature gods like Gozreh. They think they are charged to protect the material realm from otherworldly, unnatural forces (including celestials!).
After the shadow in the sky has become visible from all around Riddleport, the druid elders have performed some auguries, and all the signs point the same way—something or someone in Riddleport is connected to the blot, and it means bad news for the region. Rorgar has avoided the sleazy, dirty town for most of his 'new' life, traveling there only when accompanying his now deceased mentor, and although he doesn’t relish the prospect of going there now, he has little other choice. Fortunately, Kronk, a dwarf with a 'special' insight, is in town, and Rorgar has heard this friend (?) will be taking part in some gambling thing at a place called the Gold Goblin or at least will work near there.

I'm open to anyway you want to generate the character. All classes in the core book are open. The game will start in Varisia so the regional feats are open. You don't have to be from there.

I didn't know there was another Second Darkness game. I looked. :-S

Rat you start out as a 0/0 level character.

Aww phoey! I'll just take 1 level of barbarian then and multiclass to cleric on the next? That ok?

Emphasis on 'was'. I'm happy this path is up here again. Rise of the Runelords adventure path has two ongoing and two or three abandoned games.

I was joking with you.

I hope to get this one to the end but we'll have to see.

I kinda guessed so, but you didn't give a straight answer to the level question

I'm liking the Pathfinder system quite a bit, so I'd like to give it a go. This path doesn't seem to have the free players handout that RotRL does. Is there anything specific we'd need to know about the area?

Would a Paladin be completely out of place? If so, maybe a Ranger?

I will post things like character backround later. I may give him a last name, but I am not sure yet.

Okay, for skills I have 12 at second level because I have 3+Int modifier(I get an extra one for being Human) at first level. Under the Favored Class ruled you can either gain an extra skill point or an additional hit point(eve at first level) so I chose to take an additional skill point at first and second level. Giving me a total of 12 skill points at second level.
