I’m looking for five players for an upcoming Rise of the Runelords: Anniversary Edition PbP game I’ll be running. Recruitment will be open from now until 6:00 pm Friday, October 19th.
I usually prefer to select one type from each of the 'Big Four' character roles (i.e. 1 Arcane, 1 Divine, 1 Martial, and 1 Skilled plus an additional character (generally a hybrid class or an additional martial character, depending on which I feel the party needs more)). It's not a hard and fast rule, but thats the way things generally turn out.
Now for the fun part, the rules:
• Races: All standard races from the Pathfinder Core Rulebook will be allowed. Any other PC race will be considered on a case by case basis.
• Classes: All classes from PFRPG core rulebook plus those from the Advanced Player's Guide (APG), Ultimate Combat (UC), and Ultimate Magic (UM) will be allowed. Any Archetype for these base classes (again from the APG, UM, or UC) will be allowed.
• Alignment: Characters can be of any Good or Neutral alignment. No evil alignments will be allowed.
• Abilities: Characters will be based on the High Fantasy (20 point) buy, found in the PFRPG Core Rulebook on page 16. No ability can be raised higher than 18 (prior to racial modifiers). Only one ability may be lowered below 10 and that ability cannot be lowered below 8 (prior to racial modifiers).
• Feats: Any feat from the Core Rulebook, APG, UM, or UC will be acceptable. Any 3.5 or 3PP material you wish to use will have to be approved by me prior to acceptance.
• Traits: Character's will start with two traits, one of which MUST be from the Rise of the Runelords: Anniversary Edition Player's Guide or from the Shadows Under Sandpoint section of the Traits chapter of the APG.
• Hit Points: Characters will start out with Maximum hit points for their class at 1st level. After 1st level character's will roll for their hit points or take the average of their particular hit dice (rounded up), whichever is greater.
• Starting Gold: Characters will start with Maximum starting gold for their base class as found in the PFRPG Core Rulebook on page 140, or in the APG on page 26.
Right now I'm looking for character concepts and background information on said character (it can be as detailed or as vague as you want (From a few lines to a full blown character profile. Just remember the more information I have the more I can make an informed decision about who will eventually join the game).
That's about all I can think of for now, but please feel free to post any particular questions you might have.
Thank you and good luck everyone.
