*CLOSED* - Iron Gods Campaign (PF1e)

This is my attempt at completing a Bard. No backstory written so far but I have a fair bit in mind if picked. The only issue I found is that I plan on being middle-aged and I don't know if that will matter in any way or not.

I hope that it won't upset anyone, or cause too much issue, but on consideration, I think that we will use the Elephant in the Room feat tax rules for this one unless there is mass objection.

Your link to the webpage was pasted twice, so it doesn't work. Might want to fix the link :)

Also, thank god you're using this. So much better this way

I am definitely on board with this - ty for using it! I'll update my character sheet accordingly.

Though it does not affect my character, I have no prpblem with those sets of rule *thumbs up*

The link is to The Elephant in the Room

World is Square is the name of the website :)

The link is still to the Elephant in the Room blogpost :-)

Okay, I think I have it fixed now.

Throwing my hat in as well if it's not too late. I'd like to play a Half-Orc Witch (Scarred Witch Doctor) who is Against the Technic League.

Also, I see you're using Elephant in the Room, are we also using Background Skills?

Out of curiosity can you link to the background skills?

I definitely can! I have it bookmarked cause I never remember which are which.

Background Skills.

It basically just gives you two free skill ranks/level in skills that would mostly be not -that- useful during the game, or background type stuff. Craft, Perform, Profession, some Knowledges, etc. It doesn't make them class skills, just gives the ranks. It's there to help give classes with lower skill points some options, so like, fighters can have skills more than just Climb and Swim, and have more flavour.

I also really like this optional rule

Not to put undo pressure. But I do as well. It encourages RP skills in a format (pbp) which really benefits from them.

If you guys want to use Background Skills, I'm game.

+1 to this. But, tbh I'd be happy to play regardless :)

Cool! And yeah, I'd play without it, I just like the boost it gives to the lower skill classes. Especially in a 15 point buy where you don't have as many points to throw around.

admittedly I was struggling a bit in adding intelligence to a cleric so he had all the knowledge and this fixes some of it. Thanks for bringing it up

Name: Elizi Vanogur
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Orc
Class: Witch (Scarred Witch Doctor)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Role in Party: Arcane Spellcaster/Debuffer

Background

Elizi was born to a pair of half-orc slaves that had escaped from the clutches of the Technic League, and were hiding in and among some of the barbarian tribes of the land for several years, until she was a teenager. Their past had caught up with them, as slavers who worked for the Technic League had found the group they were living with at present, intent on taking the whole lot of them in as slaves. Her parents Andrar and Mesli didn't want the same fate to befall anyone else, so, they fought off the party of slavers while everyone else fled. The old shaman of the village taking a tearful Elizi out of there as the two most able bodied, the former slaves tried to drive them off. It ended in a double loss, both sides succumbing to wounds before they could escape. Which, was really the second best thing that could have happened, as there was no one to try and give chase to them after this. This is where Elizi's true hatred of the Technic League crystalized. She had heard about them, but never actually experienced them for herself.

The shaman K'leshtau took her in as his own, raising her the rest of the way. He trained her in the ways of communicating with the spirits, and gave her ritualistic tattoos to help protect her even further, his surrogate daughter. He passed away about 4 years ago, the 'tribe' having been reduced to just the pair of them over that time. Now, it was just her. She took his mask as his parting gift. As she put it on for the first time, it changed shape in a subtle way, modifying its outward appearance to more match her. Left on her own, Elizi decided to move to Torch, the spirits telling her that was the best place for her to be. Living there, she set up a small herbalism shop, helping the people that she could with her knowledge and magic.

When Torch's flame was extinguished, she consulted with the spirits to see who was responsible, but they weren't able to tell her. She was fairly certain though, that it was the Technic League, since that flame was the only thing keeping their town from being completely under their boot.

Personality

Elizi is an amazingly bright woman, by any standard. The stereotype of a dumb half-orc could not be further from the truth with her. Her upbringing has left her wanting to do good in Numeria, to try and counter the evil and invasive tendrils of the Technic League, to try and let good flourish instead of their monopolistic greed. Her appearance may be scary, especially with her mask and ritual dagger with a wicked looking blood red blade and a ruby in the pommel, but she is a very kind soul that is much happier to proscribe someone a remedy for what ails them than use that knife for a blood sacrifice.

Okay, we have five character submissions and six slots. Whoever can get their character done first, from among Rizzoxiii, Squadfather, and Nezzeraj, can have the remaining slot. (If your character is already done and posted and I just missed it, please feel free to correct me.) The rest of you will receive invitations shortly.
