Pathfinder Rules : <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/</a> Creating Your Character : You will be starting at level 2 (I'll give the exp when you officially join). Read the Rise of the Runelords Player’s Guide. I can send you the PDF or you can get it free here: <a href="http://paizo.com/products/btpy8tgl" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/products/btpy8tgl</a> ... Use any character sheet you want, but please update your character page on the wiki after each session. Ability Scores : Point buy of 25 (epic fantasy). <a href="http://www.dndsheets.net/pbc.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.dndsheets.net/pbc.php</a> Race : Humans (Chelaxians, Shoanti, or Varisian decent; from anywhere in Varisia, depending on sub-race), Dwarves (from Janderhoff usually), Elves (from Mierani Forest usually), Halflings (any town or city), Gnomes (Sanos Forest area), and Half-Elves (from Riddleport usually). See Player’s Guide for more info. No exceptions for this please. Favoured Class Bonus and Archtypes : Bonuses and archtypes listed on the d20pfsrd website are allowed if it is a Paizo one. Background : The campaign starts in the coastal town of Sandpoint in Varisia. Characters must consider being locals to the community OR have a reason for visiting (Learn about the town from here if you’d like: <a href="http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Sandpoint" rel="nofollow">http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Sandpoint</a>). More on this when you join since you'll be joining a couple sessions in. You can also read Varisia, Birthplace of Legends for more information on Varisia. More Background : Don’t just play a build, play a character. Give your character a background. What did they do before this adventure? Do they have family somewhere, or friends? Do they have any enemies? What type of personality do they have? Be detailed enough that you know your character and be able to role play as them. Feats : Varisian feats (in the Player’s Guide) are allowed. Traits : You can pick two Traits from here: <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits</a> BUT they must make sense with the background of your character… Flaws : For the sake of your character’s background, you should have some flaws for them, but we will not be using the flaws that give you penalties in exchange for a bonus feat. Equipment : Starting gold is 1,000 gp (level 2). Magic items are allowed. Alignment : No evil alignments. Make sure whatever alignment you pick, your character should act like it. Also keep in mind that you will need to work together as a party, not as individuals, so if you choose CN, you can't be joining the evil side because your side is losing :P Physical Appearance : Up to you. Using the ‘random’ charts works well for age, weight, and height (you’ll have to look up the charts on the Pathfinder website above). Aging effects will matter, so if you plan to be middle age or older, keep that in mind (Example, at middle age you get –1 to Str, Dex, and Con, but +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha). Please play your own gender unless you can do a convincing voice for the opposite gender. Personality : is important for the RP aspect of the game… when you are faced with a challenge, how would your character react? Remember! You’re playing a person, not a build.
