Welcome prospective players! My name is DM Visceri (aka Ryan) and I will be your benevolent dictator in this game. If you are interested in submitting an RTJ, I only initially ask for a few simple things from you:
1. Age Statement (My preference only, not the same as the Adult rated game statement)
2. Character Name
3. Character Race
4. Desired Class
5. Character Personality
6. Character Background + Reason for Adventuring
7. Writing Sample
RTJs will NOT be accepted on a first come first serve basis. They will be accepted on quality so don't just write one sentence answers if you want a chance of joining the game.
All of the traditional races will be accepted. Additional races will be accepted or denied at my discretion. If you choose an additional race, be prepared to justify their involvement in the campaign.
Gunpowder and Eastern classes will not be allowed for this campaign. Otherwise, any other class from the PHB, APHB, Ultimate Combat, and Ultimate Magic will be accepted.
Game Requirements
The requirements for this game are not that demanding but if you cannot commit to them and consistently meet them, I ask that you please not apply.
1. Posts need to be a minimum of two lines unless only dealing with decisive dialogue. Looking for a little effort in your posts to keep things interesting and fresh.
2. You will be held to a one post per 2 day minimum. Any longer and you will be NPCed as needed. If this happens too much, I will ask you to improve your posting frequency or drop out. Further failure to post will result in removal. Absences that are brought to my attention beforehand for RL issues are excused.
House Rules
All characters will start at level 1 with max HP. Each level thereafter, when rolling for health, any roll below half of your hit-die will be rerolled (
1d4= 3 or 4,
1d6= 4, 5, or 6,
1d8= 5, 6, 7, or 8,
1d10= 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10,
1d12= 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12).
Every level after 1st, a character will be awarded 6 rolls of a d20. For every 20, they will obtain 1 ability score upgrade in addition to any gained from the Pathfinder leveling progression.
Feats of epicness, heroic bravery, quick thinking, exceptionally smooth talking, or other outstanding display of RPing will be rewarded with Story Points. These will be traded in on a 1-to-1 basis for a reroll of any unfavorable die roll that YOU roll (IE to hit, damage, saves). You must choose to use these points before the results of the action are given and you must take the new roll. You may have as many Story Points as you can earn. There may even be ways to earn the fabled Epic Point...
The skill Monster Lore is a custom skill that allows players proficient in it to gain insight on monsters they have fought and monsters they are currently engaged with. Weak points, tactics, abilities, and names are some of the things that can be learned from dice rolls based on the DC met. This is a class skill for Bards and Druids.
Encumbrance: I hate it. There will be no downfalls from being encumbered under your heavily encumbered stat. After you surpass that though, you will be subject to the movement impairing penalty only.
In combat, if you roll a 1, roll an additional d6 to see how bad you fumbled. Hint, don't roll a 6.
Character Sheet
Players start at level 1 with max HP and full starting gold for your class. For stats, it is a 30 Point Buy system. You can check the tables for values at

Everyone starts out with some items they would normally have on them. They are listed below.
Adventurer Starting Kit

Waterskin
Bedroll

Favored Class will also be implemented. At first level and every level thereafter that you put a level in your favored class, you gain either +1 hit point or +1 skill point.
XP will be on the fast track in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook.
