Hollow's Last Hope [ORG] - Closed

[hero4hire]

The blog also has a sketch of the weapon. The fact is, I highly recommend that everyone who is interested in this game head over to the blog there, and check it out. There are all kinds of neat things there regarding the module line, and Pathfinder mag...campaign world tidbits, maps, new monsters, excellent artwork...very good stuff. I'd start at the bottom and work your way up. Here is a link:

Paizo's Blog!


A map of the nation of Varisia has been posted on the afore-mentioned blog. However, I think this is the setting for the Rise of the Runelords adventure path from the Pathfinder magazines. I believe I read somewhere that Falcon's Hollow is not located in Varisia...or, I may be misremembering, I'm not 100% sure. Anyhow, you are right in saying that, for now, it is best to hold off on geographical details for character backgrounds.

Thanks, and keep the great character ideas coming!

Awesome! Thanks for the link. The new stuff looks very exciting.

Here's another submission:

Desmond Drillock

Human, Male, Wizard, Lawful Good. A well-rounded wizard with arcane firepower and utility. Will take some item creation feats.

Desmond was the son of a shoemaker. When his father passed on, he left the business to Desmond, who ran it for several years like a diligent son. However, he always loved to hear the stories of travelers as they stopped by the shop, and he was fascinated by magic. When the shop was destroyed in a fire, Desmond took it as a sign. He gathered all of his life's savings and travelled to the big city, where he enrolled in an academy devoted to the arcane arts.

Desmond is now in his early 30's and a novice wizard. He still has an adventurous spirit and is ready to make some stories of his own.

Concept 1

Loricallior, male CG Wild Elf Dragon Adept (WotC preview for Dragon Magic). Feat ability focus breath weapon, weapon will be a bow for long range, he will disdain melee weapons. Role is a blaster. Loricallior comes from the barbaric and tribal wild elves of the jungles. His people do not have traditions of wizardry but of draconic based magic. He is a dragon adept practicing a form of innate magic learned from dragons in ages past. He has completed his apprenticeship and is now a journeyman out to see the world and practice his craft to perfection.

Here's another one from me:

Wren, Male Human Swashbuckler/Fighter. Melee/Face. Skills would mostly be cha based, and feats focused on whip tricks (exotic w.f., improved trip, etc).

Wren grew up on a farm, the last of 11 children. He was basically raised by a sister. He met an adventurer while in town and ran away from home. He's a bit arrogant and sexist and likes to goad his opponents with insults before killing them. He's not evil, just more toward neutral than anything else.

Oh, I think Wren and Hakkara need to be in the group together. THAT would be interesting!

A quick note, considering the huge amount of divine casters being suggested, I might just go full Bard with Jebbo. And also considering the divine casters, perhaps the usual arcane Bard is a better idea, but despite the fact that my Wisdom score probably won't be great, you'll still allow me to rattle off advice (some good, some bad) and pointless stories, right?

It's also pretty amazing that, so far, there is only ONE character focused on melee, and ONE focused arcane caster.

Hi everyone,

Submissions list has been updated again!

Awesome! Thanks for the link. The new stuff looks very exciting.

Most welcome! I feel the same, and I'm happy to share the wealth.

So noted, Nazh. Rattling off of advice and pointless stories is never a bad thing...in character, anyway.

It's also pretty amazing that, so far, there is only ONE character focused on melee, and ONE focused arcane caster.

You're right, that does run counter to the usual distribution of character submissions...at least insofar as the recruiting I've seen on these boards in the past. Very interesting.

That means we're in, right?

Character Submission

Aeryk
Human, Fighter

Background: Aeryk comes from humble beginnings. A farm boy who dreamed of bigger things, like adventure and mystery. As luck would have it a traveling man-at-arms agreed to take the the young boy on as a page. Aeryk would come to learn swordsmanship and the art of melee. His days as a page are now through and Aeryk seeks to test his skills. The call of adventure and exploration tug at his core.

Personality: Young and full of energy but, Aeryk still has much to learn. He is brave and daring, but still lacks skill and precision. It is obvious to others that he is a diamond in the rough.

Appearance: Unkept brown hair and a short trimmed beard frame his face. He has a very common down to earth appearance. His peasant stock is obvious regardless of what he does to hide it.

OK, you can just take the (Cleric?) part out of my character concept, I think that a more focused divine caster will serve the group better. I now have a firm idea of where I'm going with Jebbo, but could you tell us the character creation guide lines? Stat generation (point buy is my preferred method, set the points to what you think appropriate), allowed sources, special notes, skill rules, houserules, etc.

My idea for Jebbo's role remains in utilitarian magic (he'll mostly be using his Bardic Music in combat, to support others), but he can still pack a punch in melee. I think I'm going with a Two-Weapon Fighting build, coupled with throwing (daggers, to be specific). And NO, he isn't Belkar (but that would be cool). Keep in mind, he will not be skill-heavy, so don't expect him to fill the Rogue role too well. Still, that leaves an all-around useful Bard, good in unexpected situations, who's a fast, deadeye thrower (high Dex + racial bonus for throwing + size bonus + TWF = lots o' daggers in face). Granted, I won't get Quick Draw until level 3, but I think I can hold out until then, especially with a good Con score.

So, yeah, all-around agile, flexible combatant and utiliarian Bard! I hope you like!
