Greetings, I am here to start an RP that will be much more...crunchy than what many of you are used to. I realize the many issues with running a proper RPG over a forum, mostly with dice rolls and battlemaps, but I'd like to try in spite of that.
The system that will be used is going to be Pathfinder, which is a heavily modifed version of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. You can find most supplements for this system as d20pfsrd.com, free of charge.
This thread will be for discussion about the campaign and for people to join.
I intend to create the IC thread the Sunday if I have 3-5 players.
The following changes are being made to the system for the sake of fun and fewer headaches:
We are ignoring equipment encumberance. You are still weighed down by worn armor as normal.
Every class that gets 2 base skill ranks per level instead get 4.
You can use Teamwork feats with party members even if they don't have them, they still gain the benefits too.
Combat Maneuver feat trees are rolled up into one feat each with the prerequisites of the first feat.
Precise Shot is rolled into Point-Blank Shot.
You can Power Attack and Deadly Shot as per the feats without worrying about taking said feats.
Martial Classes (Those that mostly use weapons instead of magic) get Combat Reflexes and Combat Expertise free.
We are using the Word Casting System.
All classes are considered proficient with all simple weapons.
We will be using Straight Point Buy for ability scores, with a minimum stat of 10 and a maximum stat of 20. This means that instead of spending 17 points to get 18, you only spend 8. Ability Scores start at 10, and can only be negative because of
Firearms and ammo will be worth 10% of their listed price, Early Firearms are considered Simple Weapons, and Advanced Firearms are considered martial weapons.
Drinking a potion, Alchemist's extract, or other liquid magic is a swift action the incurs Attacks of Opportunity.
All Core, Featured, and Uncommon races are available for play, and Custom races are availble with an 10 race point limit that may only be spend on standard traits.
All official classes are allowed except for Anti-Paladin, and I might allow a third party class if it doesn't strike me as too weak or too powerful.
All alignments but Chaotic Evil are allowed. Please note that an Evil alignment is not a reason to back-stab your party and fornicate with their corpses. You can be a ****, scheme, and be Evil, just don't over do it...or just make sure to do it cleverly.
We will be starting at level 1, everyone will be starting with 500gp for equipment, 25 points for ability scores and 2 traits.
Dice rolls will be done by me, with my own dice. Please do trust me with this, as I will likely start up the fiat if someone is having terrible luck, but don't expect special treatment outside of that.
When the IC thread is posted, please only post once for each combat turn and edit the post if you changed what you meant to do.
This is going to be a semi-serious game, and tone is going to be all over the place depending on how serious I am feeling at the time. Warning: There will be puns, dark humor, and the game may get creepy at times.
If you have any questions, this is the thread for it.
Now, for the format for submitting characters;
Name
Race
Alternate racial traits or Custom race traits(With rp cost)
Class(Archetype(s))
Special class choices like bloodlines, schools, domains, etc...
Stat Line, which should look like 10/10/10/10/10/10 in terms of format and strength/dexterity/constitution/intelligence/wisdom/charisma in what stat the numbers represent.
Alignment
Traits
Skill Ranks
Feat(s)
Equipment(With gold value)
Three sentences describing their personality.
Three sentences about their history.
Three goals.
Three sentences describing their personality: Yendak turned his back on society long ago, preferring the solitude of the woods to the hustle and bustle of big cities. He is gruff in his limited knowledge of the Orcish and Common languages, preferring to let his axes do the talking. When he does talk, he is largely irritable and unfriendly.
Three sentences about their history: Yendak was raised by his young, sick mother in a small yurt on the outskirts of Urglin, in the Pinkskin district. The village she lived in was raided by orcs, which is how Yendak was born. His mother brought him to the orcish city so he would have a better life. However, she was claimed by sickness when he was 13, leaving him penniless and alone. Lashing a pair of shaped rocks to sticks, Yendak made a pair of crude axes and turned to crime to keep himself alive. After scrounging on the streets of Urglin for the better part of a year, despised by humans and orcs alike, he finally found a paying job mopping the floors in a tavern. He did not escape the hatred there, however, and learned to use his axes against armed opponents. After a few years of saving up, Yendak was able to buy two real axes. He packed some food and headed south to the Ashwood, leaving his old life behind.
(more than 3 sentences, but 3 sentences is not nearly enough for even a limited backstory)
Three goals: Find and kill his father, make a fortune, achieve absolute power.
Your stats would actually be 17/19/14/13/11/11, and you would add 2 to one of them because you are a Half-orc.
And the reason players are starting with so much gold is mostly for some wiggle room in terms of equipment, because some classes need more equipment than others and the default amounts don't really allow much for those classes
Also, maybe invest in horse armor.
And a thing that I forgot to add to the sign-up sheet is a 'Skill Ranks' listing.
Yandak is accepted.
/edit: Just checked, a Heavy Horse is 200gp normally and 300gp combat trained.
40gp for leather, which will increase the horse's Armor Class by 2 with no downside, or 60gp for hide, which will increase the AC by 4, but incur a -3 penalty to anything based on dexterity or strength, and make your horse's base speed 35ft, versus the 50ft you get with light or no armor.
This may be a long shot but would you accept a lich?

Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.

A lich, even an unwilling one, is well above the power level of characters I am asking for. Being Undead at all makes you immune to a great deal of things, and the added features of being lich just compound the issue even further.
So no, no lich.
Just saying but does that mean that Obitu are not allowed
I will begin work on my race

Tempted to try out for the sake of it, but I need to look through some of the pathfinder races first since there's quite a bit. The zif seem like a fun thing to be, but i'm such a newbie at stuff like this that I think going human or orc may be a smarter idea.
I am relatively new, I have never played pathfinder (though there seems to be a community I could check out at my college) and I haven't done tabletop D&D, the closest I have done are D&D videogames baldurs gate I&II+expansions, Icewind Dale, and Eye of the beholder I, II,& III and I've seen some LPs of other games, and watched tabletop matches on YT. I have also made an rp that is not as complex as D&D or Pathfinder called Avion Archipelago, it's sequel is still in development.

Kraz, your point spread appears to be 6/6/8/2/0/5. I am going to assume that it is actually 6/6/6/2/0/5, with 18/16/14/14/10/15 being the actual scores. After that adjustment, accepted.
Sorry, I thought the +'s and -'s applied to max score, not base score

BlueMaus, would you please update your inventory and add skill ranks. You should get 3 per level, 2 from your class and 1 from your intelligence modifier.
Kraz, you get 4 per level. 2 from your class and 2 from your intelligence modifier.
Well that kind of restricts a lot. But I will work with it for my bio
I'll go fix things on my app later.
I have no Idea what to do at this point and would much rather have maus start
