Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave [Pathfinder, Forgotten Realms, Recruiting]

[Chambers]

Nice! Love the Forgotten Realms and I've a recent infatuation with Pathfinder. By the way, Pathfinder has their own version of the Genasi, though they aren't called such. Sylphs, Undines, Oreads, and Ifrits are the Air Genasi, Water Genasi, Earth Genasi, and Fire Genasi, respectively.

Rolls.

Yes, I'm familiar with those races. Much like the old Genasi they seem rather weak compared to the other Planetouched unless of course they are a sorcerer or a cleric. I personally feel that my Genasi are more in line with the other races from pathfinder.

Glad to have your interest! Forgotten Realms and Pathfinder are two of my favorite things so it was a no brainer to go ahead and connect them.

Definitely interested in a fast-paced, long-term PF FR romp. Let's hope the dice are, as well!

Cool. I think I'll make an Elven Oracle, using the Ancient Lorekeeper Archetype and the Lore Mystery.

I'm assuming we roll hit points past 1st level.

(3d8)[7]

Geesh. I forgot just how vindictive the forum roller is.

[Nexaduro]

I might be interested in playing a CN or CG Cleric. I'm new to any world settings outside of Pathfinder, though, is there anything I should look through in particular or is that grounds for a veto?

Also do Outer Gods or other Lovecraftian entities exist in Forgotten Realms, or is that just Pathfinder?

[Calinthas]

I'd be interested in playing. I've really wanted to make an Aasimar Sorcerer in a PBP game.

The Lovecraftian gods are indeed not present in the forgotten realms. The closest thing the realms have is Ghaunadaur. He's CE and basically the god of oozes and abberations. He is not commonly worshipped outside of the Underdark but stranger things have happened.

If you let me know what type of deity you're interested in following I can be of more help. Like a deity of battle, healing, nature etc.

@Haberdashery: you can either roll hit points or take the average. Since I never clarified this before you rolled you may take the average. However, anyone who rolls hit points from now on has opted not to take the average and is stuck with what they've got. The one exception to this rule is that you may re-roll any 1's for hit points. And HP is max for first level.

@Chambers: Sounds good. You might be interested in checking out the Elven deity known as Labelas Enoreth. He's all about lore.

@Roguenewb: Such a character would fit right in a campaign such as this.

Whew, thank you. Load off my mind.

I'm rebuilding the character from another PF game (they're an unused backup), in which they had the Madness and Liberation domains. I still want a bit of a madcap character, but perhaps less so. Fluff was that they used to be an Oracle of Lore who picked up the wrong book, and started hearing insane whisperings from an Outer God.

This time around, I would go with a sort of benevolently chaotic joker deity, if one exists. I'm open to any alternate choices for Domains, so long as they fit the themes of silliness and irreverence towards tight-laced authority figures.

Crunchwise they're an Aasimar/Human with Racial Heritage so they can get Channel Force for purposes of combat defenestration and compensating for slightly slower speed. Heavy defense, mostly melee touch spell and Channel offense.

Well since I am away from my books at the moment finding one off the top of my head is a bit challenging. The first few that pop into my mind are Garl Glittergold and a number of the Gnomish Pantheon. Many of them are kind hearted tricksters and love playing practical jokes. Garl Glittergold is Lawful Good though and doesn't fit with your chaotic requirements. There may be some other choices from the Gnomish Pantheon that fit your desires that are Neutral or Chaotic, however.

Outside of the Gnomsih Pantheon I would have to consult my books so I can give you a more difinitive answer after 11:30 PM EST. I do however seem to recall an Elvish Deity named Ilesere (or some approximation) who was also known for being a sneaky prankster...

Edit: If you're still interested in your insane character with the Madness domain I'm fairly certain that Ghaunadaur, Urdlen and Cyric have access to that domain. A Follower of Cyric wouldn't really work in this campaign though.

[Haberdashery]

Most of the trickster gods in Faerun are kind of evil (if sometimes lovable) jerks, like Cyric, Mask, Vhaeraun, and Beshaba. But there's also Oghma, who's the Neutral god of Knowledge. One of his domains is trickery, but he's not exactly a trickster god. Just cheeky.

[Nexaduro]

I don't really like any of the Faerun deities, hah. Guess I'll give up on the defenestrative Channeling and just go with an Oracle. I've been liking Oracles a lot anyways.

Also the group has a bunch of Clerics and Aasimar already.

Rolling health for real this time:

Well, the thing about the Forgotten Realms is that there is no divine casting without the veneration of a deity. Even Druids and Rangers do not recieve spells if they do not venerate a nature deity. As an Oracle in the Realms you must still worship a deity in order to receive spells.

Missed that.

Weeell then I suppose I'll have to look further. C'est la vie, I'm sure I'll find something.

[phiris]

Posting interest as a monk, how do you feel about hobgoblins? Otherwise a human drunken master flowing monk.

[Nexaduro]

Withdrawing my interest. On further reading, I think Forgotten Realms just isn't for me. You already have an abundance of recruits anyways.

Best of luck to the players and the mod!

[Mafalin]

Since there are no bard concepts which really interest me atm I'll just post a paladin or fighter concept instead (but tomorrow, getting late here :) ). My rolls weren't too good so I'll use 20 point buy. Question: is it possible to qualify for feats using magic item modifiers to base stats?

I'm not sure about the official ruling on that but I will say yes. However, if you for some reason lose the modifiers from the item you lose access to the feat. Say you lose it, it gets destroyed, you trade it for another piece of treasure, you will lose access to the feat until your stats are high enough to qualify for the feat again.

@phiris: Hobgoblins are alright but a little bland statisticly in my opinion. Hobgoblins carry a bad stigma for being violent slavers in the realms so playing one will present you with enormous challenges in this campaign as the majority of the first adventure takes place within civilized lands. If you would still like to play such a character you are welcome to but you need to realize you will be feared and/or hated pretty much everywhere you go.

@Nexaduro: Sorry you don't like it. I've heard that from a lot of newer gamers that think the exensive history of the realms can make it seem too much to digest for people not familiar with the setting. Thanks for your well wishes.

[Mafalin]

Rolling Paladin HP: (3d10)[9][6][5](20)

[Infernally Clay]

Hmm... A Paladin Knight of the Mystic Fire from Champions of Valour, perhaps? You need to be a follower of Mystra for that and it'd add an arcane twist to the usual Paladin.

[Infernally Clay]

Are two Paladins alright or would you prefer a more arcane focused or even non-magical character?

Very nice rolls indeed.

[Mafalin]

Tevin, would you be prepared to give any hints as to how useful mounted combat will be in the campaign?

EDIT: Also, how do Greater Overrun and Charge Through interact? Is it possible to make an attack of opportunity while charging someone else? Is spring attack required for that?

EDIT 2: Does Furious Focus work while charging on horseback with a lance? If yes, how about with lance and shield?

[Quakes]

Interested as a rogue/bard to eventually become a duelist or lion blade. We'll see how the rolls treat me.

Hobgoblins have an interesting monk archetype but I'll stick to the flowing monk, drunken master for simplicity in story, as he was likely in the tavern when the man in blue arrived. I'll be going with point-buy for now.

Here are the bones, will do background and equipment when I get home and have my Faerun book on hand.
Also HPs

[Tevin]

@Infernally Clay: Such a character would fit into this campaign indeed but you cannot take the PrC from Champions of Valor. It is a 3.5 source. You can play whatever character you want. I wont be selecting the group based on what would work the best but on the quality of the submissions.

@Mafalin: Mounted Combat can be present but will definitely not be a major part of the game.

Charge Through and Greater Overrun work as stated I would believe. If you have charge through you may make a charge attack against an opponent who has 1 target blocking the path between you and the target of the charge. When you charge you can make an overrun attack against the target between you and your path. If you have greater overrun when you succeed knocking the target prone you get an attack of opportunity.

As far as I can tell there's nothing that says you cannot make an attack of opportunity while charging... it just never comes up since no one is typically doing anything, during your turn while you're charging, to provoke one.

Furious Focus works any time that "you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity." So, if you're charging on horseback with a lance in two-hands and using power attack it works. If you're charging on horseback with a lance and a shield (using the lance in one hand) in does not work.

@Quakes: Rogues roll d8 for hit points in Pathfinder so you'll need to reroll those. Also, I'd suggest rolling each hit die seperately since you can re-roll any 1's.
