Thanks so much!
Can I ask for recommendations re-favored enemy please? I usually default to undead or aberrations. Humans is a popular choice, as I’ve read, but I always have a problem with choosing that for a good-aligned ranger.

By and large, humans will be the featured foe in much of this campaign. There is a smattering of other foes (elementals, outsiders, undead, etc.), but humans are the primary foe you will face. If it helps, remember that the favored enemy bonus is a conscious choice. You can choose not to use it. I feel that it represents a more detailed study of the foe, not a bloodlust against them. So you could justify it by saying that he only hunts "evil" humans, for example.

That helps me, thanks so much.

Okay, I am still thinking of eventually multiclassing Zirah with Whirling Dervish (Swashbuckler) class, so to be a little more efficient with my feats, I've changed out feat: Martial Weapon Proficiency (Scimitar) with feat: Burning Amplification and changed her weapon to Lantern Staff.

I've been thinking more of a Human with the Slayer class. This might overlap with the urban ranger quite a bit, but we will see what happens.

Question about Human - if we choose Azindralean as our background, are there enough physical traits that they are immediately distinguishable from the conquering humans? Since they lost the war, are there any legal restrictions on the weapons they can carry or did the last war end long enough ago or in a stale mate such that a Azindralean carrying a giant two handed weapon and a bunch of other weapons would be considered acceptable?

As I am fixating on the Cleric for my character, and looking at the Divine Paragon as an Archetype, I am looking at Adhelmus Oxda as possible god to Worship. But I am curious if there are direct analogs we can look at for Deific Obedience?

Thanks,

For character sheets - is everyone just selecting "Pathfinder" in the list of sheets or do people have good custom sheets they are using?

There s a PF custom sheet, in the Public Depository thread, I grabbed that one. Let me know if you can’t find it, I can link it later.

I used the Pathfinder one, but if you have link to a good custom heet, I would be interested.

Easy enough to identify, Azindraleans are tall and slender-boned with pale skin, dark hair, and wide eyes in striking shades of blue, hazel, green, and amber. They tend to be quite graceful, despite their somewhat gangly limbs. They remain even-tempered, especially when endangered or threatened, but easily lose their heads concerning matters of the heart.
Amongst their own and with non-Kortezian strangers Azindraleans can be gregarious. Though outsiders often mistake their friendliness for naivety, they are not foolhardy or naïve people.

The hard-featured Kortezians tend towards dark, course-hair and ruddy complexions. Most have dark eyes, ranging from brown to black, though rare few possess lighter shades. Their men are broad-shouldered with muscular builds, but possess a tendency to become heavy-set with age. Kortezian women have wide hips and curvy figures. Males tend to bald young and have exceedingly, almost apishly hairy bodies.

They have no restrictions as such, but they are likely to be looked at a bit strangely if overloaded with weaponry and armor (much as nearly anyone would be in an urban setting).

I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure I understand the question. Can you please clarify?

Yea no problem! :)

The Feat Deific Obedience calls out that each god will have an obedience that will be performed to gain the benefit of the feat:

"Benefit: Each deity requires a different daily obedience, but all obediences take no more than 1 hour per day to perform. Once you’ve performed the obedience, you gain the benefit of a special ability or resistance as indicated in the Obedience entry for the god to whom you performed the obedience."

As an example Sarenrae has: "The Dawnflower values the redemptive powers of compassion and patience, and extends them to all who might be capable of good. Offer to heal a stranger of his wounds, either by using the powers granted to you by Sarenrae or with a potion, scroll, or other item you possess. Tell the stranger it is by the will of Sarenrae that you share your healing gifts. You may also use your Heal skill to perform this act of healing service. If you can’t find a stranger who will accept your offer, stand beneath the open sky during the daylight hours. Blindfold yourself with a red-and-gold scarf and try to locate the sun in the sky through the layers of fabric. Gain a +2 sacred bonus on Perception checks."

But I don't see that called out for these deities. So I wondered if that is just off the table, or if we could create an analog such that one of the gods from this settings 'shares' an obedience with one of the Golarion gods (so we didn't have to come up with custom ones).

Sorry for being difficult, and thanks for following up :)

Okay, I see now. Let me take a look and see where the nearest analogs lie and I'll be back.

@WhtKnt thanks for the human differences. I think I've got the mechanics of my sheet down, hoping for some time this weekend to round out the description, equipment, and history. Oh, looks like I'm missing traits... still got some work.
Oct 25, 2024 10:49 pm
What’s our starting gold? Max, average or roll?
Oct 25, 2024 11:53 pm
Oh yeah, traits. Do we get two?
Oct 26, 2024 3:37 am
Everyone can have two traits, or three if you also take a drawback. You can roll for starting gold.
