[SOLDIER First]

That's a good point. I was kind of figuring you could flavor it like those feats that give unarmed strikes magic damage or whatever, but that's still in what you would call unrealistic for the setting.

[highmax28]

Alright, I think I'm good.

Sent backstory and stuff to Tawa, and here's my finished sheet. Had a hard time deciding class but after a quick chat, rolling with two weapon ranger

I know I lack the dex right now to get two weapon fighting feat, but thanks to fighting style feats, I can just snag it without prerequisites. Until then, expect me to roll with my bow or my axe(s) and a shield until level 2

[Elvish Miner]

I'm still interested, but if you have 4, I'm willing to hop into a waitlist. I don't want to delay the game, nor do I want to knock someone out of the game, and it gives me more time to work on my sheet.

[Tawa]

Technically speaking, only three sheets have been submitted thus far, and two of the people who have submitted them have failed to respond to criticisms regarding the sheets. There's still room.

[highmax28]

He also did say it isn't first come first serve...

I'm thinking of making applying either a Skald or a Slayer. I have some questions though:

1, About Slayers and other classes with special class ability lists like "Rogue tricks" and so on: Can we continue to take from these abilities instead of feats on "level up" past level 6? For Slayers, for example, I'd imagine you'd want to keep the Advanced Slayer Talents completely unavailable since they are unlocked at level 10, so I'm strictly wondering about the lower level list

2, Skalds and other intuitive spellcasters have the ability to exchange spells from their spell lists on level up. Could I still do this in E6 rules? I'm not particularly experienced with casters and am a bit worried I might get stuck with bad spells, especially since I would get so few of them.

3, Can we officially change the name of Barbarians to Berserkers? It would please me so damn much.

4, Is it assumed that non-divine-based classes would worship the entire pantheon more or less equally (or as equally as they were relevant to them), and is the pantheon limited to the ones mentioned above or do the whole rl pantheon exist in their mythology? I could see my slayeslayer giving particular interest to both Heimdal and Tyr, but also Skadi as the Huntress, and a Skald would definitely probablu focus on Odin as the deity of knowledge, galder, and poetry, but also Bragi who was basically another deity of poetry and wit (but without Odin's "words/poetry is magic" tone).

4, Are you okay with us making shit up about customs and society for our backstories?

5, Is the world devoid of magical beasts and people (including elves and giants here), or are they things which are known to exist outside of folklore and could be encountered in daily life?

6, If I name my character Sten-Snorre Longspear, will you ban me?

1) The "epic feat" Extra Rogue Talent lets you do exactly that.
2) I'd say that seems fine. Every +5000xp mark that would have been an even-numbered level-up, you could retrain a spell.
3) Why not
4a) Yes and yes. I specifically included these deities because they're arguably the most prominent and I could (with some minor stretches of imagination) fit all of the base-game domains onto them, and while technically everybody would worship like that, D&D/Pathfinder polytheism is rather strangely designed and is more focused around dedicating yourself to only one god.
4b) Yes, under the condition that I can veto something if I feel it doesn't fit with what I've already established.
5) They exist, as remnants of the Age of Myth when gods walked the earth alongside men, and Mungaršian and Gwyrfidist superstition holds that they are real, but they are so few and so well-hidden (generally keeping to the deadly, frozen lands in the north of Mungaršr and isolated spots in Ihmiset lands, with a couple hiding among the deepest forests of the more habitable lands) that almost nobody alive has ever seen them.

A thought occured to me: what do we do as far as languages go? Will humans from other places speak languages other than ours? Will we be interacting with other races often enough that learning their languages will come in handy?

My character has decent INT and she's supposed to know additional languages to start besides Common.

[Tawa]

Yes and yes. Each of the languages involved is mentioned in passing in the setting notes, but I'll add an official listing of available languages to the OP.

[Sirus]

Alright, thanks.

Another question, will supplies be provided by the "professional military leader" or are we responsible for our own food, water, etc?

[Tawa]

The raiding party your characters will be a part of will provide supplies, but the raid won't continue forever.

Also, I replaced Druidic with a language that you could hypothetically learn if you were interested and driven enough, even if you weren't a druid, that acts as an all-day Speak with Plants/Speak with Animals.

Additionally, this was a few days ago, but since we're talking about the OP I wanted to point out that I updated the maps by running a couple of photoshop filters to shadow edges and add the look of paper to them.

[ATHATH]

I'm may or may not be interested in joining, but I could help people make their character concepts.

What tier are you aiming for?

Is 3.5 material allowed? 3.0? Dragon Magazine?

Pretty sure tier is in the OP being low fantasy and a standard point buy

[Tawa]

Yeah, that's about it.

[Tawa]

So, how are the sheets coming along?
