Those pesky nonhumans.


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Grand Lodge

Just curious how other groups deal with players who are playing nonhumans that want to be archetypes such as harrowers or rondelero duelists,winter witches etc.Our group is pretty open and free about it. Unless its obvious nonhumans arent allowed like the red wizards of thay were in forgotten realms.Mostly curious because one of our round robin dms was nonplused that I made a elven aldori swordlord.Which seems like it would happen in brevoy on occasion.My other reason for asking is none of the nonhuman races have cultural classes like rondeleros,winter witch,aldoris etc. Varisians seem like a natural shoein for elves and halfelves and like the idea of a varisian elf harrower.

Um...hasn't come up I guess.

That said, it should be fine with a good justification. I mean, look at the Iconic Gunslinger. She's a Half-Elf...which, considering where guns and elves respectively exist in Golarion is a bit unlikely. But PCs exist to be a bit unlikely. I might not throw out boatloads of Halfling Aldori Swordlords as NPCs (or indeed, any ever) but a PC could pul it off.


A PC isn't an assertion that a particular race/class combination is the norm; it just means that it's at least concievable that there could be at least one. I think it's far from unreasonable to say that there's some combination of circumstances that could lead to there being an elven Aldori Swordlord. I'm not an expert exactly on the minutiae of the campaign setting, but from what I know that combination isn't even that improbable.
