:D

Sometimes its better to just stick to that of the corerulebook when it comes too things like that. The Core Gods are setup more eaisly then the others.. Kinda why I requested folks stick with the core races.
Well, the thing is, I don't have a core rulebook. Also, if you go to the Cleric page of d20pfsrd (which is my go-to Pathfinder source, typically), the only link to deities brings you to a sample list that's NOT the Golarion deities. In fact I had to actually google specifically for "Golarion gods" before I got that list before I remembered that there's a list in the player's guide you linked. *shrug* Just so you know why we were having some difficulties.

I guess this is a request in general: don't assume we have access to the exact same information you do. If you want us to stay within the bounds of certain rules, make sure we know ahead of time and that we have access to those rules.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Oh wow, just checked both the d20pfsrd and Paizo's PRD and saw that both do not include the godlist/domains. WOW. Apparently the information about the gods are not "Open Game Content". Never knew that even happened. But still, almost every other bit of information, especially d20pfsrd, have it noted which source material its from. Still amazed that they couldn't even include which gods the Domains come from in the Paizo site...

Here, found this...
https://pathfinder-ror.obsidianportal.com/wikis/deities-of-golarion
Also just screencapped this from my PDF...

And this from a Mythweavers Thread...
http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthread.php?t=98525

But still, on page 9 of the player's guide is the Deity List...

Well, apparently I can't get my rulebook until tomorrow, now. Bah.
If I'm still in I guess I'll throw together a character using the SRD... if I'm not, I might as well do so anyway. :P

Edit: Anyone want to have a conjoined backstory? I guess I'll be an elf.

I've never read one of the rulebooks in my life. I pieced it all together from srd websites... probably why i get so much wrong :L

Normally, I would, but I'm not sure how we could fit it in with my character.

The PaizoSRD is tbe closest you can get to the core and extended rulebooks while the d20pfsrd contains a ton of third party books and information. And a lot of these sites can leave out some other minor info thqt can make it difficult for a DM to say no. I myself am not one to outright say no without a GREAT deal of reason. Such as Dinos and Extended godli gs being the case of me saying no as Dinos are hard to actually slot into areas unless you have planned for them in a homebrew or such and same goes with gods. While I am surpirsed that the godlist found in the corerule book isnt in the SRDs, I did link a players guide which includes them AND a great deal of information about the area the campaign takes part in...

Ranger WIP: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=852577
Just to say, there is already Ranger, so yeah, not saying to change just saying...
Also, as far as I know, Bastard Swords are Exotic weapons meaning that you need the Exotic Weapon Feat to use it one handed, BUT using it Two Handed allows you to use it as a Martial Weapon, when you use a weapon with Two Hands you only get that Str and a Half bonus to your Damage roll, not your attack Roll...

Normally, I would, but I'm not sure how we could fit it in with my character.

Well...
If I may suggest something...
The two of you could come from Riddleport, taking that bonus feat that is from the player guide and look at the Blacksheep/Noble Trait as a way that you guys come to Sandpoint, being that your hired by the Noble to help him as his agent, this will give you some more background knowledge as well which comes from being a local...



Also, we have 5 character sheets posted, while a few are still currently "awaiting approval", I feel that we are getting close to starting. Who was the 6th again?

ALSO Don't forget, All characters that are from the local area can choose a BONUS Feat found within the player guide and also don't forget your 2 Traits, one from the list found on OP and one from the trait lists linked on OP again...
I don't know if I mentioned it yet, but locals also get some additional background info as a handout, like knowing what happened in the past and more information on people out there too...

How local is local as far as that handout goes? I was thinking Sumac was part of a group of Varisians that stayed relatively close to Sandpoint (kind of in the triangle formed by Sandpoint, Galduna, and Wartle), his bird is from the Fogscar Mountains, and his druid training came from druids in the Sanoc Forest.

As for why he's in town it's mostly just because he's figured out being a stereotypical druid isn't for him and he wants to learn as much as he can about each of the groups of people in Varisia to try and find a way for everyone to play nice together. Sandpoint's as good a place as any to start. This may lead to him being slightly... pacifist. I'll probably be playing him with a focus on incapacitating and knocking enemies out, rather than killing them. There are a surprising number of druid spells that do that, so it shouldn't really inhibit my ability to be effective, but yeah.

Edit: Oh as far as who the 6 players are, there's the 4 in the OP, Carrion, and Mainiac.

Yeah it's +3 to damage from strength, +2 to attack but +1 from BAB.

Whoops, I sorta assumed there weren't any fighters since I was told to do a fighter.  Two rangers sounds fun though, toss in a rogue and we are talking some great ambushes.
