Plot Summary Yokai Conquest Story: One thousand years have passed since the Spirit World Peace Accords were signed, and the various clans stopped fighting each other for control. The Spirit King or Queen is chosen from amongst the clan leaders and rules for one hundred years. After the hundred years are up, a new monarch is chosen, and the previous ruler becomes a council member, or they pursue their own goals. The council is made up of members of the various clans, and they are tasked with guiding the Spirit King/Queen. A new monarch will soon be crowned, and The Conquest Games will begin with the best team winning wealth, glory, and power. The winning team also gets to serve the new monarch as a part of their elite retinue. To compete, the teams must register at the palace and then enter the gateway. Teams are sent to random parts of The Dark World that runs parallel to the Spirit World as well as the Mortal World. Each team must compete in trials and ultimately conquer The Dark World to emerge victorious. Those that fail are sent packing if they survive at all. Each team gets seven gems. Failure erases a gem. If all seven are erased, the entire team is removed from the competition. The Clans: 1. Demon Clan: Dwellers of the underworld that were never mortals. They lost the war in heaven against the angels and were cast down for it by the kami. Many have been twisted and transformed by their hatred and the darkness of the underworld. They embrace dark powers and hate the angels as their eternal enemies. No demon lord has ever been named the Spirit King/Queen. Because they feel they are outcasts, the Demon Clan hates the other clans. Their current top demon lords are Kurayami, Goka, and Akufu. They have an uneasy truce with all and no alliances. 2. Dragon Clan: The mighty dragons of the dragon clan can travel between the spirit world and the mortal world. All dragons are mighty in some way, making them formidable allies and enemies. Dragons are known to be wise and intelligent, so they serve as ambassadors to some of the other clans. This leads them to take on traits of the other clans, like divine dragons or demon dragons. Dragons are fewer in number than some of the other clans, and slaying one without cause is said to bring ill fortune. The current elected dragon leader is Ryujin. They are friendly with all but the giant and demon clans. The giants they used to war with and the demons know no friends. 3. Angel Clan: The beautiful and proud angels of the angel clan won the war in heaven, and the noble kami awarded them the utopic realm they now call home. Because of this, the demon clan hates them. They hate the demon clan for different reasons. They see the demons as ugly, twisted wretches that mar their beautiful world. It's hard to find a clan more self-righteous than the angels. That being said, they aren't evil. They tend towards good, but good on their terms. Their knights know few peers, and their righteous fury strikes fear into the hearts of the wicked. They are allied with the Kami and fairy clans and watch over the mortal clan. They hate the demons and look down on the yokai clan. The current leaders of the angels are Zaphiel, Lyriel, Azriel, Seraphiul, and Nezra. 4. Yurei Clan: The spirits of deceased mortals and creatures that never dwelt in the mortal lands. The yurei clan are the natives of the Spirit World and the most populous clan there. For most of existence, the spirit world was ruled by a yurei spirit king. The clan wars changed this, and to broker peace, the spirit king at the time stepped aside to let the first king rule. For a thousand years, things have been so. Yurei are not supposed to enter the mortal realm except under special circumstances. Most mortals cannot see yurei in the mortal world. They come in various shapes and forms. The new leader of the yurei is Shinato. 5. Giant Clan: The giants once ruled the mortal realm, but were cast out by an alliance of mortals, fairies, and dragons. They found a way to a new realm. The giant realm where everything is big, like them. Some giants are barely bigger than large men, while others are truly colossal in size. Giants don't all look like big humans. Some look like massive beasts or monsters of legend. They tend to be aloof and stay out of politics. Other clans see them as barbarians, but they admire simple lives of peace. The previous wars were hard on their numbers, and they prefer to hate the dragons in solitude. Thrym and Surtr are the current leaders of the giants, but there are some ambitious giants that seek the title of king of the giants and spirit king. 6. Mage Clan: The mage clan is made up of mortals who dwell in the mortal realm and have great magical powers. They are wizards, witches, priests, and druids, but can also be psions. To be of the mage clan, one must have access to powers of some sort. They act as protectors of the mortal clan and are distrustful of the other clans. They are secretive by nature and less physical mighty when compared to clans like dragons and giants. The leader of the mage clan is the Supreme Mage Arcus. 7. Fairy Clan: Fairies dwell in the wildlands of primordial nature and seldom leave their demesnes. While they have great magical powers, they are fragile. The fairy clan doesn't enjoy violence, and their pride is nearly equal to that of the angels, but unlike the angels, the fairies can be xenophobic and allow few trespassers into their realm. They are most fascinated with mortals and share an alliance with dragons and angels but don't consider them equals. Queen Una is the current monarch of the fairy clan. Sometimes fairies kidnap mortals and take them back to their realm. 8. Yokai Clan: Yokai are a broad group and feature any that don't fall into the other clans. All are welcome with the yokai. Their clan is the most loosely ruled, and there is currently no single ruler of the yokai. They have many tribal chiefs that command individual groups of yokai. Some yokai are humanoid, while others are spirit beings or monsters. It's hard to pin down what is a yokai and what isn't. Hence why, all are welcome. Some leave their clan to become yokai. The yokai can be nomadic and not settle in any one realm. Most favor the mortal realm, but it can be hard for them to travel there. 9. Kami Clan: Some claim the kami are gods, but while they are powerful, not all are gods or even god-like. Even so, the weakest kami is still extremely powerful. They are known for their noble actions and great wisdom. They are often the judges and mediators of the clans. Kami come in a variety of forms with a variety of powers. Some are guardians of nature, while others are true gods or demi-gods with realms of their own. They gain power from mortals believing in them, although they don't need faith to exist. For the gift of faith, the kami grant boons to fortunate mortals with great qualities like moral strength or bravery. The kami have no singular ruler. They have a council of elder kami and a speaker who hands down their judgment. The current speaker is Susanoo. 10. Automata Clan: The youngest clan. The automata are intelligent constructs that seek to be seen as equals and not slaves or lesser by the other clans. They have made no allies and come in a myriad of forms. The automata desire to be freed from their former masters and become an entity all their own. How the individuals gain sentience is unknown, but some spark of life gave them a new outlook on existence. Because of their philosophy, no one automata controls the rest or even speaks for them. All have a voice, and all are free. The automata came after the wars and were often soldiers, so they seek peace beyond all other measures. The automata only want to become spirit king to grant legitimacy to all awakened constructs. 11. Elemental Clan: Ancient and primordial, elementals once ruled over all. They were the first spirits, even before the kami opened their eyes and came to be. The elementals are wilder than the other clans and only desire to continue as they always have. No elemental has been elected spirit king yet, and they don't aspire to have a spirit king. The elementals only fought in the wars to keep from losing any more of their territory. They have lost so much. They won't lose anything more. The elementals have four leaders: Prince Zephyrus, Princess Cynder, Prince Minerul, and Princess Aqualin. 12. Mortal Clan: The most plentiful of the clans and the only one confined to their realm. Mortals are only allowed to leave the mortal realm by invitation of other beings or by kidnapping. This extends to even the strongest of mortals. The first spirit king was a mortal, and it was by his blood that peace lasted one thousand years. In the time of the great wars, it was a mortal that rose above all the clans and brought lasting peace. He defeated all his opponents in the dark world and laid claim to the spirit throne. After 100 years, the mortal king decided to pass on. He offered a challenge to any that would lay claim to the throne in his place. The next spirit king was the dragon clan leader Seiryu. - Party Size: 4-6 - Level: 9 - Races: Go wild, create something new - Classes: Any Paizo - Ability Scores: 18, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12 - Hit Points: Always max - Starting Wealth: Normal for 9th level - Progression: Fast paced XP - Posting Rate: As often as possible - Closing Date: I'm in no hurry. I'd like to see what people come up with and help design character concepts. 1. Race Creation Options: You have the freedom to take any racial traits and abilities from other races within reason. Your normal ability boosts will be +2 ability and +2 ability. Anything higher or in addition to those two boosts requires a -2 to offset the bonus. You can choose 3 defensive traits, 2 feat and skill traits, 3 offensive traits, and 2 support traits for your race. You get to make an ultimate move. I suggest picking something good from an existing monster and tweaking it to your character. Ultimate moves can be used once per day, and there is recharge time afterward. It can be recharged before 24 hours, but it won’t be simple to do. When making your character and ultimate move, keep in mind your level. You’re a 9th-level character. Don’t try and break the game.

Holy Shell: Angelkin gain fire resistance 10, electricity resistance 10, and acid resistance 10. Celestial Pride: Angelkin gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects. Feat and Skill Racial Traits Canny Mind: Angelkin gain a +2 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks Celestial Feat: Angelkin gain a bonus feat. Offensive Racial Traits Holy Blast: Angelkin have the ability to release rays of intense light that inflict divine damage to targets. Each ray inflicts 1d6 divine damage per two levels to targets. Each ray has a range of 80 feet and can be used thrice daily. Stern Gaze: Some angelkin gain an upsetting gaze attack that they can activate three times per day as a standard action, affecting all creatures within a 30-foot cone that can see. All creatures that meet the angelkin's unnerving gaze are shaken for 1 round (DC = 10 + 1/2 the angelkin’s character level + her Charisma modifier; Will negates). When the angelkin reaches 9th level, her gaze instead causes creatures to be staggered. When the angelkin reaches 13th level, her gaze instead causes creatures to be stunned. Stern gaze is a mind-affecting fear effect. Disruption: Any bludgeoning weapon wielded by an angelkin gains the Disrupting enchantment. Sensory Racial Traits Senses: Darkvision 60 ft., Low-light Vision Support Racial Traits Protective Aura: Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angelkin. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angelkin's HD). Truespeech: All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active. Ultimate Move Heaven's Clarion: All creatures except designated creatures within 100 feet of the trumpet’s blast must succeed on a DC (11 + level) Fortitude save or take 1d10 sonic damage per level and be paralyzed for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based. The angelkin can also command its trumpet to become a magic two-handed warhammer as a free action. Out of the angelkin’s hands, it is a chunk of useless metal.

[Seekr34]

Sounds interesting. When you said we start off with +2 ability and +2 ability, do you do mean we add +2 to two abilities?

[SoftEmbers]

That is correct. You start with those bonuses.

[Yas392]

So, base race + bonus traits on top of traits for base race? Is mimicking an ability or attack you seen last round for an ultimate move, OK?

[SoftEmbers]

Basically, build a bear for your race. Blend whatever racials you want together, so yes, correct.

Mimicking is always a good ultimate move. May even learn to increase the power or improve whatever you last saw.

[BlackDragon0]

What height requirement, size. Can we build a 353ft monster?

Seems my character's ultimate move seems tamed. Are you suggesting I should upgrade the ultimate move aka limit break to function more like a combo of mimic + blue magic?

[SoftEmbers]

I'd say a size limit of large so that characters can function in dungeons and compete in challenges. Be 300+ feet tall may prove troublesome unless there's a kaiju challenge, or growing big is an ultimate move.

Yes, that sounds good. There are Final Fantasy inspirations to this game, after all.

[triedtherest]

Would you allow use of the Demonic Possession and (assuming a Charisma of 25 is possible) Improved Possession Feats?

Also, as Psionics are on the table, can the Thrallherd Prestige Class be taken?

[SoftEmbers]

Yes, those are all allowed.

[Yas392]

What do you mean by support traits?

[BlackDragon0]

choose 3 defensive traits, 2 feat and skill traits, 3 offensive traits, and 2 support traits for your race.??? What's what as I've never seen these labels for anything? Is there a trait for breathing fire, a trait for flying, a trait for lighting blast, a trait for elements shield ? All I have is phb. So all this is jibberish to me.

[SoftEmbers]

Support traits would be extra traits that don't fit into other categories.

If you look at the part of the phb and see Dwarf for example, you'll see their racial traits broken into categories. I'd like the custom races broken down as such.

Theo Verlord & The Cult of the Overlord Name: Theo Verlord Clan: Demon Clan Race: Half Shadow Demon (Based partially on both the Shadow Demon monster and Astomoi race.

Defense Racial Traits Mouthless: Half Shadow Demons don’t need to eat or drink to survive. Instead, they absorb the essence of food and drink; this consumes the nutrients of the meal as though it had been eaten, rendering the food useless to others. Half Shadow Demons consume potions and other ingested materials in the same fashion. Since they never actually ingest anything, they can’t normally be exposed to ingested poisons.

This is a mind-affecting fear effect. A target that successfully saves cannot be affected by the user’s frightful gaze for 24 hours.Race Build) Ultimate Move   Demonic Possession: This works exactly like the Feat of the same name. Class: Vitalist 6/Thrallherd 3 Alignment: Neutral Evil Personality:   He seems like more than just a regular "Moustache twirling villain". Strangely calm and fatalistic, he knows that all life ends, but he is making plans to avoid that fate! Is somewhat fed up of being treated as a criminal and living off the "scraps" of the civilised parts of the world, he believes that Demons should have a seat at the table with the rest of the Great and the Powerful, but unlike some of his ilk he prefers to use strong-arm tactics to gain concessions rather than to prove that they can work together, though (ironically and hypocritically) looks down on other Demonkin for the fact that they cannot be trusted to work together! Theo never really had the chance to be Good. He spent his early life being crapped on by almost everyone he met, and those few that didn't invariably died on him. The power that lifted him out of the gutter almost killed him, and so-called "good" people have wanted to kill him when they realised what his power was. Being lectured at would either amuse him or bore him depending on his mood, threatening him with "convert or die" would likely result in SOMEBODY dying, and being shown compassion would startle him as well as make him initially suspicious due to his past experiences, but it is the likeliest way that he might be eventually led down the path of redemption. Background:   Theo was born a simple mortal in an even more simple shack in the Capitol, in one of the City's slum districts where he would spend his early years with his sickly single mother, his father having disappeared before his birth. During the winter of his 8th year, Theo's mother caught a fever from which she never recovered. She was buried in a pauper's grave and Theo was kicked out onto the streets. After being made homeless and (even more) destitute. He fell in with a gang of urchins, reprobates and ne’er-do-wells, who were more than happy to induct a new member into their little gang of pickpockets. This little gang were run by an ex stage-magician called Fayghein, who was secretly a Demon in the service of Cyth-V'sug that had implanted his young charges (and others) with a variety of Demonic plagues and parasites without them knowing. He used his link with them to spy on (or occasionally explode over) his enemies. Eventually, the Demon was defeated by Adventurers, however the Cysts remained in the implantees that still lived, in most cases they had little to no effect on their host's lives, but in Theo's case it caused unbelievable and constant agony. Theo had already gone through (and lost) so much in his young life that he could no longer see the point in continuing this horrid existence, so he returned to Fayghein's safe house where he hoped to find the vile Demon's stash of poison. And find it he did, unfortunately the poison he took was a hefty dose of Ghost Syrup! The poison worked remarkably fast, sapping Theo of his strength, then robbing him of his physical form altogether. Theo had at this point lost his home, family, many of his friends, was in constant pain, and was now an incorporeal being who could not even hang himself to end his existence. He did what anyone else in his situation would do. HE WENT COMPLETELY INSANE! A vast slew of vile curses erupted from his mouth as he berated both the Heavens and Hell, the Demon that had cursed him and even his own mother for leaving him alone in the world. The hatred in his heart and soul had a curious effect on the parasite within him, causing it to bond with him, intertwining both their bodies and souls and changing them into a creature that seemed both mortal and demon! He disappeared from the Capitol shortly afterward, never to return, nobody knew where (or particularly cared that) he went but a mysterious, shadowy figure was seen passing through the city's streets (or even passing straight through houses) before walking (or floating) straight through the barred city gates. Theo Verlord (or at least somebody who answers to that name) has been spotted many times over the years throughout the land, sometimes leading mercenary armies for the highest bidder, and at other times thought to be at the very heart of various conspiracies, though in either case he is invariably surrounded by a group of Cultists who seem to worship him and constantly chant his name. It is due to a misunderstanding of their chants that people who have encountered this group, refer to them as: The Cult of The Overlord Physical Traits: Theo is usually possessing someone (either an enemy or one of his Cultists) so his actual body is hardly ever seen. When it is, people at a distance will see a thin Wraithlike Shadow, people closer will perhaps see traces of a thin mortal of indeterminate race before it turns back to shadow Mind/Body/or Spirit: Mind Character Build:   Incorporeal Outsider (Evil) Ability Scores: Str - (12, -2 Race, removed due to Incorporeal Subtype) Dex 14 Con 13 Int 16 Wis 19 (17, +2 Race) Cha 25 (18, + 4 Race, +2 Level, +1 Tome of Leadership and Influence Character Sheet   Size: Equal to Wisdom Modifier (4) -or- half of his hit dice (4) + 1 Collective member for ever Sycophant's Ring (4 bought by Theo, 25 bought by his Believers, 12 bought by his Cohort) = 41 Total Size = 45 (plus Theo) Range: 400 ft. + 40 ft. per HD) - 760' COLLECTIVE HEALING: Any healing affects can be shared amongst the collective as Theo see's fit. MEDIC POWERS: Below Powers gain the Network Descriptor -All powers of the [healing] subdiscipline, animal affinity, biofeedback, body of iron, endorphin surge, expansion, oak body, physical acceleration, sustenance, suspend life, timeless body, and vigor. EXQUISITE AGONY (SU): When a member of the sadist's collective dies, instead of needing to make a save to avoid taking damage, the sadist gains a number of temporary power points equal to the Hit Die of the creature killed. These power points last a number of rounds equal to the sadist's Wisdom modifier and do not stack with each other or other temporary power points. TRANSFER AILMENT: A 1st level life leech can transfer the dazed, dazzled, shaken, or staggered condition from one member of his collective to another as a standard action. At 4th level, the life leech can transfer the blind, deafened, fatigued, frightened, or sickened condition. VITALIST'S TOUCH: Mender's Touch - A mender vitalist of 2nd level who utilizes transfer wounds heals the target an additional number of hit points equal to his class level. This additional healing is not transferred to the mender like the normal amount healed. SPIRIT OF MANY: A vitalist of 2nd level gains special abilities when manifesting powers with the Network descriptor. He can manifest these powers on any member of his collective, even if they are out of the power's range or would normally be immune to the power. Whenever a vitalist manifests a power with the Network descriptor targeting only members of his collective, the power loses the mind-affecting descriptor (if it had it) and bypasses any power resistance, although it still provokes an attack of opportunity to manifest as normal. Network powers manifest only on members of the collective never allow saving throws, their saving throw entry becomes -None-, although if the power specifies a subsequent saving throw, subjects attempt those saves normally. The vitalist also adds the following augment to all powers with the Network descriptor: Augment: For every additional power point you spend, you can choose an additional target, so long as the target is a member of your collective. DRAIN HEALTH: A life leech of 3rd level can steal hit points from members of his collective and transfer them as healing to other members of the collective. As a standard action, one member of the collective takes damage equal to double the life leech's class level + the life leech's Wisdom modifier and another member of the collective heals the same amount. If used on an unwilling target, a successful Will save halves the amount of damage taken and healed. This ability may only be used on creatures with a Constitution score and may not be used against creatures with a total number of hit dice less than half the life leech's level. TELEPATHY: When a vitalist reaches 3rd level, all willing members of his collective (including the vitalist himself) can communicate with each other telepathically, even if they do not share a common language. Psionic creatures who are willing members in a vitalist's collective (including the vitalist himself) may manifest unknown powers from powers known by another willing psionic creature in the collective as if they were making physical contact. A vitalist may temporarily deactivate, and reactivate, this ability as a swift action. LINGERING PAIN (SU): A sadist of 3rd level learns to make wounds more painful than usual. Any time the sadist inflicts hit point damage on a creature and the sadist is maintaining psionic focus, it also causes bleed damage equal to half the sadist's level unless the target makes a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 the sadist's class level + the sadist's Wisdom modifier). EMPOWERED IN PAIN: A sadist of 5th level can treat any power he manifests of the healing subdiscipline as if affected by the Empower Power feat by expending his psionic focus and causing a number of hit points in damage to one member of his collective equal to the total number of power points spent on the power. The member targeted by this damage cannot be the recipient of the healing (whether directly or through effects such as collective healing) and may attempt a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the sadist's class level + the vitalist's Wisdom modifier) to negate the effect, but doing so means the power is not empowered and psionic focus is still expended. The sadist cannot inflict this damage upon himself. PULSE: As a free action, a mender of 6th level may project a pulse to all members of his collective by spending one power point, granting fast healing 1 for one round. Every three vitalist levels thereafter, this fast healing increases by 1. This healing is not eligible to be redirected using collective healing.   Leadership Score: Level + Thrallherd Level + Charisma Score (9+3+7) = 19 Thrall Level: 13 (Max level 8) Chumley Troll with the Young Template Medium Sized Giant -Wealth: 6,000 gp Turned into 12 Sycophant's Rings.

Not a power gamer so not sure how to do special ability like mimic or how to customize race. So, if you say pick a Gargoyle? with+4 Con, –2 Int, –2 Wis, –2 Cha you get another +2 to two stats? or replace one with the other?
