I don't seem to have gotten one.

[triedtherest]

I didn't get a message either.

[Acathala]

I did get a message, but it was before the selection was fully decided/announced, and did not include a link.

[ManicMonky]

A bit of research and I could switch to Drueger or Changling pretty easily. Less of a ghost/aberration specific focus, but it would work fine.

[Hound]

Marcus Sparrowhawke Name: Marcus Sparrowhawke Race: Human Class: Cleric of Sarenrae lv. 6 (Sun & Healing Domains) Role in Party: Healer / Anti-Undead Why you want to play: My new years resolution is to reduce the amount of time I sit down binging television shows and increase my time spent on improving my skills. I think this counts. Also, you had me at Dirk's GM. Character Sheet - Click Me Traits: Perception is class skill, +1 Trait bonusSeeker & Sarenrae trait, when using a Scimitar, can deal non-lethal damage with no penalty.Blade of Mercy Background Skills: History & Profession (Cook) General Feat Suggestions:   Any one of the following would make sense for the character: Alertness - High wisdom, both 6 ranks of both perception & sense motive. Endurance - he walks around in medium armor all day. Makes sense he would adapt. Extra Channel - give me more undead bursts Improved Channel - make my undead bursts harder to resist Iron Will - already have a silly high will, makes sense he would have an iron will. Toughness - he's scrappy for a cleric. Warrior Priest - very fitting. Marcus is highly vigilant, for he is always on the search for opportunity. For Marcus, opportunity primarily comes in two forms which can be summed up as either justice or charity. With a strong sense of justice, Marcus feels an overwhelming urge to seek out and strike down evil whenever it rears it's ugly head. Yet Marcus' true work, is his charity. When not on a hunt for evil, Marcus uses his talents to heal those in need and cook meals for the poor.

We get two clerics after the first party is decided liol.

My app is not even close to complete anyway!

You are taking the wrong lesson from this. Clearly the Wyrwood isn't a hard sell. He just needs a Wyrwood party. Cue Epic Voiceover: "They were bodies without souls, forced to fight souls without bodies. Who would survive!""Ghosts versus Machines: The Reckoning"

[ManicMonky]

I was hoping to get my application in before the first selection was made, but things happened and I was late.

[DarkNetwerk]

Almost had a 3rd cleric but this "darker"/"grittier" aspect has me thinking Gravewalker Witch.

[LeoByron]

For the record, I will stick with Wyrwood if allowed. Duergar Tyrant was an alternate if Construct is a bit too much. Duergar Tyrant might also be too much. Who knows?

[Keante]

There is an alternate trait for wyrwoods that tones down the construct immunities and the like, maybe requiring that would make it easier to accept the race?

Living Machine
Source Heroes of Golarion pg. 6
Through generations of refining the techniques of creation, many young wyrwoods have become closer to organic beings than constructs. These wyrwoods are constructs with the living machine subtype. They gain a Constitution score and can be targeted by spells and effects that target living creatures or constructs, as well as those that require a Fortitude save. They are no longer immune to ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, exhaustion, or fatigue. Wyrwoods with this trait require sleep, but they do not need to breathe or eat. They are not destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points, instead becoming unconscious and stable. They are destroyed when reduced to a negative number of hit points equal to their Constitution score. They can be raised or resurrected when destroyed.

This alters the wyrwood’s creature type.

[LeoByron]

I would prefer not to take Living Machine since the whole point of taking Wyrwood was to be a Construct in all its glory, flinging bombs and crafting my own minions to fight for me! If the Wyrwood is really a problem, I can make him human. I am not married to my cute little wood god.

That said, I have a few questions for my build, figured I'd drop them here:

1) My character is a Homunculist Alchemist. This grants him a familiar that is a Homunculus in the shape of an animal or vermin (He's going to be a winged monkey). If I take the Tumor Familiar Discovery, would you allow my Homunculus familiar to be the Tumor Familiar?

2) I am taking the Promethean Disciple Discovery at level 6, to craft Constructs! I'll mostly be upgrading and repairing my Homunculus, but I also wanted a big Grizzly Bear walking around with me! A Wax one! I will craft a Waxwork Creature using my Alchemy and ride into battle on my big bad bear! Is this going to give you a hemorrhage? I dropped Ectoplasm and am replacing it with wax constructs! Fun! Can I craft the Bear and upgrade the Homunculus before the game starts to have it ready from the get go or do I have to craft it on the go in media res? This question might apply to all crafting both magical and mundane I suppose.

3) Can I have access to 3rd party spell Repair Light Damage and its ilk?

[Admin Dirk]

answers to Leo

1) yes, this is fine.
2) it makes my eye twitch, but if you understand what I say about minions being in harm's way will be treated like PC's, then I'm good with it. As for having it with you at the start, can you feasibly get him aboard a ship? Is there a semi-realistic way to have it aboard a schooner?
3) That spell is fine.

that's fine, but see my thoughts on minionmancy as you design it. Raising armies of undead to have with you may not put you at the top of the chosen pile. Having something to do as a witch vs undead, however, is wise.

[Admin Dirk]

and a reminder, group 2/second/different game is still forming.

Applications so far:

Hound with Marcus Sparrowhawke, cleric
Manic with Zor Stoutcrusher, Cleric
MrJoe, Edmund Jons, psychic
