2. Creating Your Character / Leveling

November 10 (9 years ago)

Edited January 27 (9 years ago)
RETURN TO FORUM NAVIGATION

Everyone who begins will create a character at level 1 using 20 point buy and using non third party materials except with specific approval.  Anything that is on http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/ is good (except mythic stuff) and many of the official pathfinder books on d20pfsrd.com are fine.  

You will start at level 1 and 150 gold.
You may have 2 Traits and 1 drawback for an additional 3rd trait as an option.
You may also start with 1 MW (masterwork) quality item of your choice to bring with you to the island for free.
You may purchase animals and other things you might think you need to survive with your 150 gp.
Characters will receive 2 additional skill points per level to spend on a craft and a profession of your choice.  
You will receive 1 bonus crafting feat or skill focus feat in craft or profession at the time of your characters creation.
If you would like you may choose a feat you do not meet the prerequisites for but will not gain "access" until you do meet them
This means you are "training in this" and it will unlock when you have finished "training"

Think about characters that would get along.  There are no rules against monster type characters that are available in the race guide but remember that other players might treat you unfairly or unkindly (in character) if you are something strange.  This can make for good role playing but if you don't personally have thick skin, consider a human .. i hear they are nice.  The same goes for evil characters.  If you are evil, you might expect to get locked up in jail or killed by the townsfolk in a riot so you might not want to do that. I'm not allowing PVP per say but certain events might happen once towns develop and people get votes .. you might get kicked out or worse. Just saying .. think before you create a character that will not work well with others.

Your Character Information will need to be transferred to the Sheet on Roll 20 but I will need to set up a journal entry for you and give you character access.  I will do this by creating a journal entry with your personal roll20 name on it.  You will then have access to rename this according to your main adventuring character.  I will do this as you join as I am able.
In order for me to give you character access you will need to log in to roll 20 at least 1 time to the tabletop after joining the campaign.

Please post any other character creation questions at the Player Concerns thread

Leveling will occur as you earn Mission Points (MP) for completing missions and quests  10 MP = 1 level.
Level of the main account character will give access to secondary characters and NPCs under that account is determined by KP (Kingdom Points)  You start with 0 but gain 1 for completing the quest :  Create a Primary Character.
A table is used to determine the number of adventuring characters and NPCs you are able to create/control as well as base resources/week you are able to spend towards building and upgrades etc.

Allowed Materials are explained in the Allowed Materials Thread
More Information about characters can be found in the CHARACTER GUIDE

Will fighters be able to get combat stamina from the unchained book for free? "Free for Fighters: If your goal is to provide an additional edge to the fighter class, you can allow fighters to gain the Combat Stamina feat as an additional bonus feat at 1st level"

That's if you're using the stamina optional rules. We are not.)

When you say 'Item Creation Feat', do you just mean scribe scroll, or the higher level ones? Does that include Gunsmithing?
December 29 (9 years ago)
Any item creation or related feat that you meet the prerequisites for.  That should include gunsmithing, scribe scroll, skill focus (craft), skill focus (profession)
You may also take a feat you do not meet the prerequisites for and "bank" that feat but you will not gain access until you meet the prerequisites.
I have edited this to make that more clear.
