Pathfinder: Burnt Offerings

Just saw this thread today. Sorry I missed the recruitment deadline but I'd love to play in a Pathfinder game. If you're still accepting alternates, please consider me.

I created 2 character concepts/backgrounds for another game but don't know if I/they will be accepted but I should know by the end of the week. One is a half-elf rogue, the other a half-orc ranger. My only WotC books are the core 3, UA, & Heroes of Battle so sticking within your guidelines should be pretty easy to do. The 2 character backgrounds are generic enough that they aren't tied to a particular setting.

Thanks,

Azgulor
 


The May 21 Paizo blog has information about the four families who "founded" Sandpoint. With CB's permission, I'd like to play a member of the Scarnetti family, albeit a distant cousin with no access to the family fortune. Not surprisingly, one of his ancestors was one of the ones who attempted to slaughter the natives in the ill-fated raid.

So, an Abadar-worshipping paladin, one of the Scarnetti cousins, whose grandfather went on to become a great ogre-slayer and whose famous greatsword hangs over the mantle in the family home. His family are mostly mill-workers.

Tuesday mornings, I go into town for my weekly ladies' bible study group. I'll pop in later tonight for a look at the blog and a better look at everyone's ideas. Glad to see ideas are starting to flow, though.
 

It's far better for me to wait until more information becomes available. That's just how my character creation process works. I'm still keeping an eye on this thread.

Weapons, Varisia-Style
Wednesday, May 16, 2007

Hot off the server come three of the latest Pathfinder sketches, this time for the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide. See what Player's Guide author Wes Schneider has to say about each of them:

Dog Slicer: A savage weapon created from castoff bits of sharpened waste metal, goblins named these small swords after the act for which they're most commonly employed. Holes drilled in the blade make them easier to heft by enthusiastic but weak-armed murderers. Most dog slicers are size Small.

Varisian Scarves: Well known as entertainers with a flair for the dramatic, Varisians often employ seductive garb and entrancing props in their performances. Scarves of colorful cloth and transparent silk, or bearing elaborately embroidered scenes, are thus favorite accessories of the wandering folk. Aside from the mundane variety, though, clever Varisians have subtly repurposed these iconic tools for a variety of covert uses. The Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide features three types of modified scarves to aid Varisians in their adventures: bladed, pocketed, and reinforced.

Star of Desna: An ancient weapon favored by Varisian wanderers, this weapon has been adopted by the church of Desna as a second holy weapon. From a central metal ring, four tapering metal blades extend like points on a compass rose. Wielders can slash with the star or throw it like a less-aerodynamic chakram.

---------------CB's note on the above: Click on the link and go check out some of the images the Pathfinder team has posted for the three weapons detailed above. They look very interesting, and the visual may help spark some creative juices. There's also an excellent history of Sandpoint, particularly the Mercantile League and the original Varisian tribe that was wiped out by the Scarnetti family.
 

Whizbang, I am lifting the LG alignment restriction on the paladin class for the purpose of this game. A paladin may be of any lawful alignment, to include LG, LN, or LE. If you or someone else is hot to play a Chaotic paladin, I may also consider that.

In short, with your interest in being a member of the Scarnetti family, I'm not really seeing that you absolutely have to play a LG PC. I can definitely see LE or LN. Regardless of what I see, however, the choice remains yours and I am certainly open to multiple possibilities on paladin alignment.
