[Calling TRD!!] Obi-Andy's Pathfinder Chronicles [Core 3.5]

Obi-Andy’s Pathfinder Chronicles

Welcome to the Out-of-Character thread for my Pathfinder game. I am looking for 3-5 players who can post at a minimum every other day. We will run thru the Rise of the Runelords path, starting with Burnt Offerings. Descision of who makes the cut will depend mostly on integration of the background story of your character. Also include a reason for your character to be in the town of Sandpoint (detailed in the RotRL Players Guide - see below for link).


Here are the basics for character creation. Go ahead and post your character concept here, using this format:

Final Cut:

Mark Chance - Male Dwarf Diviner
EvolutionKB - Male Human Druid
Stonegod - Male Rogue/arcane caster
TRD - Female Halfling Ranger

Yay, finally a campaign starting at first level! I'd like to play a monk character... and how would you feel about someone with a character flaw? I've been wanting to play a mute monk for awhile now. She would still be able to communicate via gestures, writing and the like, but no articulate speech. (and as command activated items and all spells are out, would that be worth an extra feat?)

Anyway, up to you.

Let me think about it. Go ahead and stat up a character, and I'll let you know. I admit, it DOES sound interesting!

Alright, here's the Monk for now. I hope we get a few more people for the game!

History:
Cecilia came to Sandpoint three years ago, a stowaway aboard a ship arriving from Chelaxian lands. Exactly what evil she was escaping from, she has never spoken of - which isn't a huge surprise, because Cecilia says nothing at all. She understands the common tongue, but is simply incapable of articulate speech. There doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with her, as she can wail or scream just fine; rumors abound that she was terribly abused as a child, or that she was raised by wolves in the forests, but the truth is simply not known. Her muteness doesn't stop her from expressing herself, as she can generally make herself understood via gestures or writing.

Since her arrival Cecilia has been working on the docks, mostly hauling cargo around for a meager pay. In her free time, she often jogs around the city or drinks alone in the tavern. She has trained with several basic weapons, but simply prefers punching heavy bags to release tension. Cecilia is hardly a typical "monk" in the sense of a religious fighter, and more a self-taught brawler. Exactly why the young woman is training in martial arts is something of a mystery, but her skills have clearly come to good use; more than once she's cracked a few bones of drunken loudmouths that heckled her in the tavern.

I'll volunteer a divine caster -- either a cleric or a favored soul. How far do you see this campaign progressing (level wise)?

Consider this a space saver.

I've added Korbok's equipment. One thing I'm not sure about is how much a spellbook weighs. Odd how I've never needed that bit of info before.

History Like most dwarves, Korbok hails from Janderhoff. The son of a merchant-diplomat, he spent much of his youth traveling among the Shoanti, mostly in the Cinderlands and on the Storval Plateau. Korbok became enamored of the fierce, proud Shoanti peoples. He was even adopted by the Shriikirri-Qua tribe in gratitude for his selfless assistance against a zombie horde that had attacked and abducted several Shoanti at the behest of a goblin necromancer laired in the Gnashers' foothills.

Since reaching majority, Korbok has left behind Janderhoff and the wild lands of the Shoanti in favor of travel. Years of nomadic life among the Shoanti afflicted the dwarven diviner with wanderlust, with a desire to see what's beyond the next horizon. Weeks of travel along the Yondabakari River have brought him to the coast. After a short stay taking in the sights and sounds of Magnimar, Korbok has journeyed up the Varisian Gulf coast to Sandpoint, perhaps with an eye toward Windsong Abbey.

Sounds interesting. How about I use this as a place holder for a prospective PC? I'll update with more detail after I get a chance to read the player's guide, et cetera.

Sounds good. I realize that with the holidays looming ahead, many people will be quite busy. So post a character when you can. I'm planning on leaving recruitment open to at least the end of next week.

See the original post for prospective listing.

Thanks guys (and gal?)

Reminder, I am sticking with Core rules only. For simplicity's sake.

As for level, I want to finish the Path itself, so we will most likely end around 15-16th level.

**edit** Pitched a concept but changed my mind on it. I will think about it and repost.

Concept I'm considering a rakish explorer type, more interested in the mysterious ruins of the land and the stories that he read from the Pathfinder Chronicles than the niceties of doing so. In some sense like the stereotype of old British explorers (or Franklin Payne from the Arcanum CRPG). Looking at a rogue/arcane caster mix of Chelaxian decent, most likely from Magnimar originally but in Sandpoint to study some of its odd ruins (such as the Old Light).

History: dilettante
Maximillian is the scion of a wealthy Chelish merchant family from Magnimar. Not nobility, the Trebon's had to earn their way through mercantile conquest, and that meant exploring. Thus, the young Maximillian spent his youth traveling, seeing exotic locales and reading the Pathfinder Chronicles as his father's knee. This instilled with him a keen curiosity and a desire the the adventurous life---to see all the Great Places and know all the Great Secrets.

Maximiliian's family could afford the boy the best education, and the little dilettante dabbled in magic, history, geography, language, and so forth. He picked up some less savory skills if used in a certain context, though his locksmith tutors were all reputable members of their community. At the age of majority, the Trebon mercantile interests in hand with his elder sister, Maximillian set off with gusto and nary a second thought. His first stop, the small town of Sandpoint and their unusual ruined Old Light.
