Game Description:

Estimated Party Size: 4-6

While I love the entire Pathfinder Setting, two particular aspects of the game have always intrigued me: The Kingmaker AP and the Worldwound. So I decided for my first attempt at GMing, I've decided to blend the two together to form Kingmaker: Crusader State.

I'm looking for 4-6 players who would be interested in playing the Kingmaker AP through the lens of forming a support state for Mendev and Lastwall. You would come into conflict with the River Kingdoms and Brevoy, who both eye the unclaimed Greenbelt covetously and, perhaps, bandits and other forces that would resist the idea of another Crusader State being formed. The Church of Iomadae, with cooperation from other Good Deities, would sponsor your efforts— and while the worship of these Gods isn't necessary, a desire to prevent Demons from conquering the world is.

Character Creation and Application Requirements
Start Level 1
20-point buy, only 1 ability pre-racial bonuses can be bought at 18 and only 1 can be bought at 7.
All classes and archetypes.
1 Addition: Fighters get 4 Skill Points and all players may treat either Knowledge Religion, Local or Planes as a Class Skill.
Applications close in 1 week.

Character Resume for Application
Character Name:
Gender:
Age:
Class:
Race:
Deity: (if any)

Background: 3-4 Sentences. Please include: Region of Golarion they're from, most defining moment of character's life thus far (simple as receiving their first sword or casting first spell to as complicated as being a Half-orc raised by Dwarves), and how they were recruited for this mission.

Motivations: 3 Bullet Points.
Examples: • Greed • Glory • Power
or • Redemption • Hatred of Demons • Devotion to Sarenrae

Goals: (3 short sentences)
1 Short-term attainable goal (I want to clear the Thorn River of Bandits)
1 Mid-term attainable goal (I want to become a _________ or become known a great __________)
1 Long-term pie-in-the-sky goal (I want to seal the Worldwound, defeat a Balor, conquer Brevoy etc)

3 NPCs important to your character: 2 friendly (family, friend, mentor, parnter etc) and 1 rival.

That's it, you can do character sheets before or after being accepted.

Game Description

A terrible rumor is whispered throughout Avistan. The Wardstones preventing the Demons of the Worldwound from escaping it's bounds are wavering. The long-standing stalemate between the Crusaders and the Demonic forces will not last forever.

The Church of Iomadae knows the only way Golarion can withstand the Abyss is to take the fight to the Worldwound, to drive this otherworldly evil back to whence it came and find a way to close the rift. But Lastwall and Mendev, the only remaining Crusader states are stretched too thin. Their resources dedicated to survival, within nothing left over to mount an offensive.

A new, fresh ally is needed. One who can provide relief to Mendev and Lastwall. One that can support a fresh Crusade and lead the charge to reclaim the lands that were lost. And since such an ally does not exist, it must be created.

The Greenbelt, the Stolen Lands, whatever the fools of Brevoy and the River Kingdoms may call it; lies unclaimed and unsettled to the east of Mendev and Lastwall. Close enough to provide supplies, trade and vital reinforcements, yet far enough away from the Worldwound to escape its immediate threat. That is where the hopes of the Crusaders, Avistan and the whole of Golarion rests.

And so a new crusade, a crusade of diplomacy, of colonization and of nation building must begin. Brave, wise and noble individuals must be chosen to lead this endeavor, upon which the fate of all resides.

I see an Oracle, two Clerics and a Bard, all of which could be secondary melee, and a Monk and Synthesist which definately are. So really, it's melee-heavy.

It is also entirely possible that I don't know what I'm talking about. I guess I really just like excuses to generate characters.

I'm thinking of making a ranger PC, who should be able to make up for the lack of ranged attacks.

But I'm awaiting answer to my question before I commit.

Oops, I'm sorry, radiant song. I'd already come up with my character concept before I read your latest post.

EDIT: Yes, I've submitted an archery Ranger, sorry.

Don't worry about it. I wasn't committed to this game yet, and the basic personality in your writeup is very different from the one I have in mind.

Edit: Still need an answer on the extra class skills question anyway.

Alright, thank you.

I would like to work out starting wealth (so I can purchase weapons and armor) but I'm not sure how to do that for this campaign. Does anyone know?

Wow, people are going in depth in character sheet ways already. I haven't statted up my monk at all; the most I know right now is he will probably have the Fiendish Heritage feat, because it looks cool.

P33J said that starting wealth for all of us will be 200g. Still given that we will have to embark on an expedition we will likely need some extra supplies so I am not sure if spending it all is a good idea.

Well, I think I've completed my character sheet. P33J, please tell me if there are any changes you'd like me to make.

sorry was typing up an application for another game too haha.

Radiant, the Fighters get 4 skill points

All PCs get to treat one of the following as a Class Skill: Knowledge Religion, Planes or Local. Even if their class does not normally get that class.
