I like the sound of that vitality/health system, if you do decide to use that you might want to look into the Armor as Damage reduction rules from unearthed arcana

RE: Alignments. Not going to use them for this campaign; a) there is no "detect X" or "smite Y" within the character classes b) I'd rather have a character background with motivations than "chaotic good fighter B" and feel this could be better accomplished in this setting without alignments c) all that said, I'd still like the PCs to lean towards the heroic side of things.

I don't understand your math. you don't seem to have added con to vitality. you've also added the hit die bonus to vitality, but you only said it was added to health in the text

I want feudalism because the actors are clearly marked. I want to work for a king and have my missions given to me rather than wandering about with no purpose.

8(1st level max)+6x6(Avg HP maybe I should have said 5.5x6)+2x7(Con Bonus x Level)= 58 Vitality
14+3+2x7= 31 Health

My fault for using a Con Bonus the same as the Health Bonus for class.

If he had a 12 con it would be
8+ 5.5x6 + 1x6 = 47 Vitality

and 12 + 3 + 2x7 = 29 health

"The King's Champions"

does "The Emperor's Men" work as well for you, then?

Wow, this sounds awesome Reckless . Count me in for sure (unless scheduling proves to be a problem). Think I'll start work on a character concept... human swashbuckler/swordsman perhaps.

I've updated and edited the first post to include the info on Vitality/Health, and added in some additional items on character creation, etc. Please take another look.

So, what day is going to work best for everyone, and is a start time of 6, 7, or 8 pm EST best? (the earlier the start time the longer the game, because I will have to wrap up by 11 pm EST at the latest. Work and all that.)

I'm working going to start work on the Kingdom/Empire, would love any input you have on themes you would like to see, etc. With the characters, I will want a background story I can incorporate into the story line. Any rivals, enemies, allies, etc. you want me to work up would be good as well. I'm looking at a good deal of roleplay involvement and some nice challenging combats. Very little in the way of dungeon slogging- the dungeon set pieces will be things like small cave systems, old barrows, abandoned/ruined keeps/towns, etc. Most of the action will be city-based or exploratory rather than "ok, next room".

Also, haven't heard any nays/yays regarding Vash's request for 3d6 on skill/ability checks....

Oh yeah, I'm going to try to come up with some campaign Traits by tomorrow/Wednesday. You'll be able to pick 1 campaign trait and 1 trait from the Pathfinder Trait pdf.

I'm still interested, and Sundays 7:30/8 pm EST til 11 pm EST work for me for the most part. I'm still waiting to see how my school schedule goes and I have two phone interviews tomorrow, so I might soon be re-employed. As for the 3d6 ability checks, I'm ok with that as long as we're still getting our ranks/modifers for stats etc.

By kingdom/empire are you referring to an order of knights like Arthur/Pendragon or more like something else? I might try your Vanguard class that you posted.
