You dabble in magic just enough to help handle these problems by jury-rigging spells and throwing a bit of your own magic into the mix. You might be a solitary thief, performing burglaries that can't be explained by skill alone, or a specialist called in by other rogues to deal with magical security measures. You might even be on the up-and-up, hired to test magical defenses or even build them yourself. Choose a multiclass archetype that has a basic, expert, and master spellcasting feat. You gain that archetype's dedication feat as a bonus feat even though you don't meet its level prerequisite, though you must meet its other prerequisites. For you, the Magical Trickster rogue feat has a prerequisite of 2nd level instead of 4th level. You can choose the spellcasting ability score for the multiclass archetype you chose as your key ability score.

Elemental Type At 1st level, choose the type of elemental that infiuenced your bloodline: air, earth, fire, or water.

Ryfte Posted April 25 Author Clone Share Posted April 25 (edited) Ixy "Needles" Keller The Verminator DESCRIPTION Ixy is a small, slender goblin lass with gray and black shaded skin with a slight hint of indigo, extra long ears that are quite mobile, and a smile that has an abundance of sharply pointed teeth. In other words; a goblin. Still, she's a bit of an odd goblin being a guttersnipe with a bit of some odd heritage in her bloodline. Her nose is more pronounced, not nearly as flat for one thing and her skin coloring is unusual with distinctively symmetrical patterns and a pale purplish-blue cast to it. Small breezes seem to swirl about the small woman almost continuously and she possesses an accuracy and precision that would be out of place on most goblins but seems fitting on her. She's not heavily muscled but clearly a fit goblin, lithe and wiry, that is likely no stranger to physical activities. The callouses on her hands and feet are thick and quite tough from years of hard work of some sort. Her clothing lacks frills or decorations of any sort and is quite simple. Despite that fact it is clearly well maintained and meant to be practical above all other things. All of her clothing is mismatched and looks as if it was chosen in a piecemeal manner. PERSONALITY Defensive and hesitant would be two words that encapsulate her normal reactions to any given situation. She's always expecting something absolutely awful to happen and it shows in her approach to things. She tends to remain in the background of any gathering as being the center of attention or any attention makes her more nervous. Still, despite this she recognizes they're weaknesses of hers and tries to be brave and courageous like other "heroes" tales are told of. She's a cat person and dislikes dogs and even wolves, an unusual thing for a goblin. Growing up in the back alleys and streets stray dogs were a big threat to her and tried to eat her on more than one occasion. To this day she's uncomfortable around them. Many of the shopkeepers are friends with her as she takes their garbage to the dump for them for free. They always throw away useful items she can fix or clean up to garner a few coppers or two here or there so it works out for her as well. BACKGROUND Growing up in the Gutter Ixy was the runt of the family. Certainly not physically impressive by any means but quite bright and with quick reflexes. They had little and she awoke one day at merely eight years old to find that her family had left while she was asleep. She'd never really fit in with them and had little emotional connection to them although she did miss her mother a slight bit. Still, she was a capable and smart young goblin and knew how to scavenge for what she needed in the city alleys and garbage piles. It was amazing what people thought was trash. Discovering Her Heritage She'd been on her own for slightly over two years when her luck had run out and she found herself cornered in an alley by a large, shaggy, stray that wanted to have her for a snack. Her heart in her chest beat so quickly that it was as if it was a constant thrumming in her ears. Her vision seemed to collapse and her whole world became the dog that was leaping towards her in the air. Its jaws about to close around her small head when a small blurring streak of metal slivers shot through the side of its skull and it merely fell onto her, lifeless. She lay there in shock as her heart slowed and the corpse of the dog on top of her grew cold. Finally, she wriggled and wormed her way out from under the canine, unable to actually push it off herself as it was too heavy. Making a Better Life Garnath Baker has supported the little goblin for years, having met her when she was still with her family and he frequently sets aside bakery treats for her. She's very determined to keep his shop vermin free and doesn't miss a daily sweep, ever. She has a regular routine of shops and houses each week and makes enough coin to keep herself housed in a single room she rents which is really just the attic space of a small house. Still, its warm, dry, and has a third floor window that lets her look out over the city whenever she wants. Its been almost eight years now and she's established herself as a prominent vermin keeper and trash collector over quite a few blocks but she's aspired to much more.

Ryfte Posted April 25 Author Clone Share Posted April 25 (edited) 1. What is your experience with Pathfinder 2e? Answer Been playing it since it was published and have a subscription to Paizo. 2. What is your experience with PbP? Answer Been here on MW for well over a decade and a half along with Enworld, WotC, and other boards over the years. 3. What is your Role-playing Experience (overall, PbP and otherwise)? And, what makes a game "good"? Answer I'm one of those old guys here having started with the DnD red box in the late 70's and haven't stopped since then. The GM is, in my experience almost completely what makes a game "good" in that their ability to create a compelling experience along with their chosen players is at the crux of the game. Granted it hinges on the players doing their part of course but a good GM can turn an awful system into a wonderful experience, lol. "Good" in the sense of what do I look for in a game is really the same thing, involved players and GM that have fun roleplaying their characters. I am frequently not focused on the "roll playing" aspect of a game and more interested in the "role playing" side of things. *shrug* 4. Please link me a couple examples of your Roleplaying here at the Weave (preferred). If no examples, be sure to post an "RP" in the open RP thread (when I get one up) I'd like to see a sample of your game-style writing. Answer DESCRIPTION She wears simple clothing that an innkeeper or server in such a place might but in a more layered fashion. Her padded armor actually gives her more mass beneath her clothing and makes her appear to have actual flesh on her bones despite that simply not being true. Functional and with numerous small concealed folds that serve as hidden pockets her priority is more about not standing out in the crowd. She does keep her body wrapped and within her armor to conceal her skeletal self hidden and then wears her clothing over those, always keeping her porcelain mask in place and hood pulled up in settlements.| APPLICATION | SHEETLoreli Certes Female, Neutral Evil, Skeleton (Compact - Goblin), Kineticist 2 AC: 18 HP: 30/30 S/D/C/I/W/C: 0/+3/+4/+1/+2/+0 F/R/W: +10/+9/+6 | Move: 25' | Senses: Low-Light Vision, Perception +6 Trained: Acrobatics +7, Athletics +4, Deception +4, Diplomacy +4, Lore: Politics +5, Nature +6, Society +5, Stealth +7, Thievery +7 Untrained: Arcana +1, Crafting +1, Intimidation +0, Medicine +2, Occultism +1, Performance +0, Religion +2, Survival +2 Loreli watched the owl soar quietly through the air to its directed location and then pantomime being wounded as it "struggled" to fly from one branch to another. It was a trick that she would have used, feigning weakness before striking an unguarded and unsuspecting enemy. The fact that Gin's familiar could be so versatile definitely gave her pause as she considered the possible uses. "You know, even if we could get by them, they would likely be there on the way out." She spoke quietly, barely loud enough for those around her to hear her voice. "It would be safer to simply remove them from the situation if we can lead them to a safe place to do so..." It wasn't a very compassionate suggestion and the balance of good vs. evil actions was something she was keenly aware of considering her recent change in circumstances but the need here was to save someone. She didn't know anything about these creatures one way or another but knew that there was a prisoner, a hostage if you will, that needed to be rescued. That alone allowed for some leeway if nothing else.

It also can trigger your impulse junction which allows you to take a free half Stride or a Step action for free, either before or after the attack. I went ahead and copied a sample post out of one of my games. I can grab a bunch more if you need them. 5. Tell me about a couple of your favorite characters you've actually played (in PBP or even in TT) and why you enjoyed those characters so much. Answer I've enjoyed virtually all the characters I've played over the years... I recently, in the past couple years, played a sprite in a PF2e game that I quite enjoyed playing. They were "wished alive" so I got to treat them as not being very emotionally mature and more childlike but allowed for them to mature over time. That and playing with the size differences I always enjoy, being a smaller creature in a larger world and taking advantage of that for RP purposes. On the flip side I played a large warforged that was an old scrap heap sort of similar to a scaled down "Iron Giant" character that was enjoyable. Having the more martial guardian character and playing that out was fun. Every character has their fun... ;) 6. Name (do not use the "mention" function) one or more players 'applying' for this game ("Shadows of the City") whom you would like to be accepted Answer I don't really have any preferences here as I simply haven't read through them all. Been rushing to get the character in place in time, heh! :D Edited April 25 by Ryfte (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryfte Posted April 25 Author Clone Share Posted April 25 Done. The character could use a lot more fluff for my tastes but the mechanics are there and enough fluff that she's viable. If chosen I'll plug in a suitable Grayhawk metropolis along with backup NPC's. Role wise she's going to be a skillmokey / face / ranged damage dealer / secondary caster and eventually an Eldritch Archer. I originally built her as a precision Ranger but wanted to get more skills in play so I shifted her over to a rogue instead, figuring mechanically the precision damage and sneak attack damage are roughly equivalent anyways. ;) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
