I've seen a Paladin use Zone of Truth on himself (and the party) as a way to adding credibility to a testimony of innocence and good intentions, which to me was a creative way of using its mechanics to give it new purpose.


I've thought about how I would try and buff the Rogue (not really revamp the class, just give it some boosts in case somebody wants to play one), and my ideas are currently:

- Allow it to make Stealth checks during combat to allow for sneak attacks without needing to move (whether or not this should be a free action or not I am not entirely sure)
- Allow take 10 and overcome penalties on Use Magic Device after a certain level of Rogue to expand his toolbox via wands and such


I am still interested, just trying to figure out what I will play. I am leaning towards creating a Paladin (possibly an Archetype).

I'm terrible at making backstories so it'll probably make it a lot easier to justify having any goals and just focusing on the in-the-now RP instead.

EDIT: I just remembered the bias against Paladins, so nevermind on that idea.


Will you accept a rather newish player? (I've been getting hang of the rules in a maptool game but still, well, new).

I'll probably make my character based on what others aren't already making and whatever suits the setting.


I am very new to pathfinder (in my first campaign still), but I do have experience roleplaying a stoic yet still uncharismatic character on a MU* to give my thoughts on the subject.

He was the kind that is brooding, self-centric, and often avoids other people and would very much represent a below average charisma score. You would think that this kind of person would get all of the chicks, but in reality it only makes people not want to roleplay with you because often social encounters are reduced down to saying nothing, or rejecting people to continue being by oneself. I eventually had to open up my character more. The kind of character that rejects the world around him to live in his own thoughts can very much represent a low charisma.

Basically he was more of an Edward Cullen than the kind of strong, silent type that speaks with action and integrity and has a powerful presence to him.

Since from what I understand, participation is a valued thing in Pathfinder, I wouldn't recommend allowing such a character because it would only leave the person idling most of the time until it is time to roll the dice.


Would new players like myself be welcomed into the campaign?
