The Razor Coast has drawn men to madness and slaughter since the world was young. Tulita natives, born from the same fire as this jagged coast, claim the Razor existed long before the world’s other lands. It is a crucible of flame cooled by the ocean’s caress and its mountains, reefs, and lightless depths teem with as many terrors as lustrous spoils. The Razor bucks the trappings of civilization in much the same manner the storm-tossed sea spurns the men who dare mount her. This is no place for the weak-willed. Untested souls are food for its storms, its fickle gods, its ancient spirits, and the evil predations of unfathomable creatures. No less dangerous are the men who make the coast their home and whose dark desires put most horrors to shame.
The ship is at the far end of the dock, so it's real close to the wharf that you are walking on, but close enough to make you nervous and the possibility of running into someone you know form the crew.

Mother's blessing, Boris, and the fort all next to one another? The efficiency!
Astrianna looks up at Fort Stormshield sitting high and mighty on the hill. "Hopefully Boneduece has some time for us tonight. I'd rather get this deal sealed as quick as possible so we can begin hiring sailors and gathering supplies."

Sorrin considers. The group owns one, the Dragon's Tail... We commandeered it when we took down a smuggler, Bonegnaw. A gnoll. But, it's not fit for the jobs we'd like to work up to. Just the one for now, but I need more... a tale for another night.
So, we're going to sell the Dragon's Tail and get a faster, more durable all around more capable vessel. You a sailor? The man smiles genuinely.
You see three of your former crew members - definitely goons - and they are talking to 4 rough looking sailors. Those sailors all have backbacks/sacks over their shoulders and various weapons, it's pretty clear to you they have been recruiting new crew members. They're a good 30 to 40 feet away down the dock and near the Rapid Weasel.
Astri, Bri, Chell, and Sorrin you all spot Boris and his assistant about 120 feet, or so ahead, chatting with Capt. Longplank and Thalios Dondrel. Thalios and Boris are each very animated in what they are stressing. There are three crates nearby and Boris' assistant is sitting on one. A few spectators spare an occasional glance at the scene.
Here is another view of the dockside map a bit closer. I labelled a few items for reference. Also note the profile view that shows the docks, wharf in relationship to the street level.

Oooh that close-up and profile is cool. What's the ship adjacent to Quell's Whore? If anything.
Astrianna spots Thalios and Boris, a slight frown ceasing her lips. "Hmm. I see them, but they don't look like they're having a great time. Some kind of altercation between Thalios and Boris? Captain Longplank is as stoic as ever."
She approaches with her companions to see what's going on, stopping at the group with her hands on her hips and an inquisitive look on her face.
So, how do you feel about the finer points of combat? What I call "the dance", footwork, positioning... flanking some call it?
The subtle shift in positioning before, between or after strikes. My training teaches and my style somewhat rely on flow, precision.
"My style is a little more brute than precision but any advantage we could gain by, umm... positioning would always be welcome. I've seen seen some guys work together to gain even more advantage in those positions, especially after a vicious strike. If you like to mix it up, maybe we could... oh damn, Pttahh says as he tries to make himself smaller if possible.
Male Human Warrior 1/Fighter 5/Rogue 4 | 32/99 | AC 27/18/20 | F 10/R 10/W 3-4 vs fear | Init +5 | Perc +7/+10 traps
Sorrin chuckles. I think I've heard Bri say something similar, about positioning and advantage. What's with you and those guys? Stand up, man... spread those shoulders. No fear. They holding something over your head?
I've got Red Brotherhood assassins after me, that's gonna be ugly when it needs to be dealt with.
Oooh that close-up and profile is cool. What's the ship adjacent to Quell's Whore? If anything.
I just wanted to make sure it's clear how port is situated which is sort of hard to explain but much easier with a picture. When I speak of the dock I'm generally referring to the individual docks that jut out inot the water where the ships tie off to. then the wharf or boardwalk hugs coast and the docks attach there. then you have the raised street level which has various shops and warehouses.
"I need these crates delivered at the agreed price...period or I swear you'll there won't be any slips for your ship when you return." Boris is red faced, "And I know how much tobacco is in those crates you scoundrel...not pinching for your private use."
"Oh you pierce my honor and integrity by suggestion that Thalios Dondrel, son of Mordekai, would pinch anything that was entrusted in his care. But alas, Thalios Dondrel, son of Mordekai, did not negotiate the orginal cargo shipment that was left to much lesser men. We will starve at those rates but for few coin more we call all prosper." He says with a grin that suddenly widens as he sees both Astri and Bri.
Captain Longplank is shaking his head chucking at the argument. "Mr. Harbormaster...we will honor the agreed price and I apologize for my excited officer, he is overly enthusiastic at his recent promotion. Let's get that cargo aboard."
Sighing slightly at being overruled by the Captain, Thalios Dondrel quickly changes his focus. "Good day...my friend....pardon me for my heart has just fluttered skipping three beats as my worthless eyes gaze upon two purrrrrrrrfect," he rolls his tongue, "roses." He pauses. "I Thalios Dondrel, son of Mordekai, am honored to be in the presence of such beauty." He bows with his hat in his hand waving it wide. When he straightens up, one thin eyebrow raises, "Oh...and who is your large friend, Thalios Dondrel, son of Mordekai does not recognize you."

Well, Boris...
How far away are you sending him. How long will you be breaking Port Shaw's feminine hearts?! How long are they to endure the absence of Dondrel, Son of Mordekai? Sorrin smiles, chuckling. Then he affects a grim smile.

Astrianna grins as Captain Longplank gets everyone out of a bind, as usual. The half-elf approaches Dondrel and extends her hand for him to kiss. "Thalios Dondrel, Son of Mordekai, can make even a rose blush with his wandering eyes and silver tongue." She flashes him a smile. "I thought we wouldn't make it back in time to see you and The Mother's Blessing off, but the gods have been kind these past two days."
She gestures to the half-orc. "As Sorrin said, this is Ptahh. Our new sword- Torgue decided to take his cut from our last job and start a brewery."
Emerald eyes track over to Boris... she chuckles at his opinion of Thalios, and pats the scoundrel's shoulder. "We have some business with the harbor master, we'll speak in a little bit." Approaching Boris she reaches into her haversack and pulls out a high-quality tultian cigar, and a tindertwig to offer a light. "You look like you need this, Boris."

Disappearances, Thul, Sharks, Dajobas, Harthagoa, Drugs, Slavers. And keeping an eye on here comrades. To say her mind was occupied was an understatement. That and she didn't care much for the upcoming deals and the back and forth bartering that went along with it. So when she finally noticed the large person travelling with them that was obviously not Torgue, she was a little startled. She leans over to Embrianna and asks. "Um...who's that?" But then Astrianna explained it to Thalios. That was quick. Quell works in mysterious ways apparently.
"We ship out in a couple hours...we're behind of schedule a bit, so we are making up time. The winds favor us." Thalios and Capt. Longplank take their leave.
CN Female Half-elf Iconic Envoy 13| Sp: 104/104 | Hp 78/78 | RP: 8/13 | EAC: 23 , KAC: 24 | Fort +9, Ref +13, Will +12 (+14 vs enchantment) | Init: +4 | Percep: +19, 12 Metron darkvision | Conditions:
Astrianna hopes the tobacco will help calm the man's nerves, Thalios obviously frazzled him. She gets on with business. "We're here to accept your offer concerning the Dragon's Tail. We have taken her out to sea and while she is a worthy vessel for transportation we seek a faster ship. We're willing to sell her to you for the amount discussed previously- 5000 gold pieces, and she's yours. We ask for one day to transfer supplies and sailors out and over to The Baron Of the Tides, which we will negotiating the purchase of today."
"First Thalios, now you insult me. That hunk of driftwood is wanted on the high seas and will be sunk by the first lawful patrol, it's not even worth 2000 gold on it's best day. No, no, no." He puffs on the cigar which appears to start to calm him. "Look I like you all, but if my memory's right, you're liking that pirate criminal Drango." He pinches his chin and scrunches his eyes. "Didn't I withdraw that offer come to think of it." He eyes his assistant who nods affirmatively as he look in his journal.
Ptahh. Boris is the harbormaster. He buys and sells ships among other things. He basically serves as the middelman on most deals. He previously offered to the groups captured slave ship known as the Dragon's Tail for 5,000 gold but the group choose not to accept the offer a the time. Subsequent to the offer he was insulted by another former character who mentioned casually that a Pirate Capt Drango was falsely accused...this set the merchant off and he withdrew the offer.
CN Female Half-elf Iconic Envoy 13| Sp: 104/104 | Hp 78/78 | RP: 8/13 | EAC: 23 , KAC: 24 | Fort +9, Ref +13, Will +12 (+14 vs enchantment) | Init: +4 | Percep: +19, 12 Metron darkvision | Conditions:
Astrianna goes in to full-on acting mode. She puts a concerned look on her face, as if she has forgotten something. "Drango?" Recognition drawns on her face after a moment. "Ah, Falken Drango, the escaped convict accused of multiple counts of pirating. Yes, I remember now, Cir made the comment about how Falken was falsely accused."
The bard spreads her hands wide and makes an apology for the elf."Elves live on a different plane of thought than us sometimes- after you've lived a hundred years the world might look different as well. Sometimes they believe everything that comes out of their mouth is right because they have had "so much more experience" than the rest of us, and neglect to consider what all of the hard working "mayflies" living under their lofty clouds have to go through to get by in this world." She bows her head. "Please forgive her comments. In any case, she is no longer with us, and we do not share her opinions."
A smiles comes back onto her lips. "The usefulness of the Dragon's Tail is easily debatable as a short-range transport ship, a vessel for a new, well-off Captain looking to get into the trade. Just one possibility that comes to mind- After all you were quite excited to purchase it when we arrived, and a man with as much knowledge about ships as you must have something profitable in mind for it."
She places her closed hand on her chin to think for a moment before speaking. "You said yourself if we looked for a buyer we could turn it around for 6,000, but we are very busy and will take your advice on selling now. I know it's been a few days since your last offer, so to make up for the time we used for consideration..."
The half-elf places one hand on her hip and extends the other towards the man. "4500 gold pieces for the Dragon's Tail, no fuss, no muss."
Diplomacy:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33Wish I had my diplomacy hat.
Astri you know he wants the ship but not as much as he did. He is certainly becoming friendlier.
He points to his ears, "Aren't you elf blood, so do you believe everything that comes out of your mouth as being right...or only half right." He smirks. "some times you should strike when the iron's hot...4500 is way too much today.
He sniffles a bit, "This is a good cigar. I tell you what 3750 for the ship...she's not armed and will need an escort in these waters to prevent pirates and raider." He puffs on the cigar a bit.
He certainly is friendlier than when the negotiations began. "Well careful with those money mongers they get their money back one way or the other, if you get my meaning."

Outwardly Astrianna convincingly laughs at his joke. Inwardly she doesn't find it the least bit funny. "Ah, you have it switched around, I'm completely right half of the time." She says with a winning smile. It's more around 95% of time, I'd say, really.
She listens to his reasoning on the escorts, and contemplates the reasoning. "I feel reputation alone will keep pirates and raiders at bay. I can attest first hand- all of us can, that Bonegnaw and his men were absolutely fearsome. One nearly ran me through, and the gnoll himself was prepared to fight to the death. No sane pirate would you risk boarding that ship, for fear of gnashing teeth and exotic beasties unleashed upon them. If it were stopped by the dragoons, simple compliance and papers should get one out of trouble. We were in that situation when Commander Perrin found us taking the ship back to Shaw."
He still wants the ship. I can get a bit more out of him. Astrianna goes in for the kill. "Understandable, we did deliberate for quite some time on this issue. How about we meet in the middle, Boris, say 4200?"
Male Human Warrior 1/Fighter 5/Rogue 4 | 32/99 | AC 27/18/20 | F 10/R 10/W 3-4 vs fear | Init +5 | Perc +7/+10 traps
Astrianna, would it be fair to say... If we can get 4500, we can more readily get a deal going on the Baron of the Tides, today?
Would than mean someone collects a transactional fee on said Baron, sooner? And, we'd be happy to be considered for runs, much like Mother's Blessing. All that and future business!

Astrianna grins at Boris. "They are good, aren't they?"
She spits on her palm and slaps her palm into Boris's hand for a firm shake. "Deal."
SO disgusting. She thinks as the spit mingles in her hand. Of course, the thought doesn't show on her face, and she was quite pleased she had made a hell of a deal selling that piece of junk ship.
Taking her hand back, she makes a mental note to clean it magically later. "An excellent deal, Boris... I will get you the bundle of cigars when we come by to pay our docking fees. It would be most appreciated if we could have a day for transfer to our new future ship. Commandant willing, of course."
Ptahh looks down Boris and nods approvingly, "Pleasure to meet you, Harbormaster. The name is Ptahh." Turning to Sorrin, "There is no fear, just trying to stay calm and show a little self-restraint. Don't want to make a scene today; probably wouldn't be a good way to start off."
Thank you, Boris. Now, what's with those jokers over there? Sorrin indicates the ship with the three men, the Rabid Weasel, discreetly.
"Just another crew getting ready to depart...hired a few crew and restocked. New Captain...they never docked here before." His assistant makes a few notes in his journal and then hands you a slip of credit for the sale.

Commander Perrin been back? Decent man by the looks of him.
Oh, and here. Treat yourself and the men to some of those new little pastry things going around and The Run Aground or Barrett's, or whatever establishment you prefer. Sorrin passes two platinum openly to Boris, with a smile to the assistant.
I too would be interested in joining another campaign. Seeing one that has Jelani interested (GM of 2 games I'm in as well as a player in one I'm running, and a player in another game I'm in, ha!) only makes me all the more excited.
Jelani: as it seems your not entirely settled on a concept, want to work on characters that know each other, either by familial relation or were part of a previous adventuring team?
GM: In regards to knowledge of the region, I have absolutely none, and would incorporate that into my character.
Jelani: as it seems your not entirely settled on a concept, want to work on characters that know each other, either by familial relation or were part of a previous adventuring team?
If you don't mind letting me butt in, participating in this (or something like it) would work well for my character concept. He is designed to be the martial partner for a non- or semi-martial character. Almost like a Warder from Wheel of Time, but a little more of an equal partner than that.
By all means, I'm not against working with others as well. I just bounced it off Jelani as he has seen several characters of mine and knows how I RP. Feel free to browse my games if you'd like to get a feel.
GM: Apologies if anything like this has been asked so far, but it's a part of pathfinder I thoroughly enjoy and am curious...will downtime rules or item creation have a place in this game?
I'm going to withhold proposing anything or agreeing to anything until I see what Baldwin puts out there for character creation rules.
Glad to see Thron, Dreaming Warforged and STR Ranger all popping up here. All solid players I've had fun with in PBPs before. STR Ranger's strong endorsement of Baldwin has me even more excited to propose a character. (^_^)
I'm finalizing the build requirements and I'm waiting to hear back from STR Ranger on what class he is going to play. He is one of players that I mentioned that I slotted. I would hate folks to spend time building a character class when it's been filled.
As far as teaming up and knowing each other in the build process, that's risky. I may not choose all the characters. If you go that route make sure its a fluid situation. Once selected there will be time to tinker with backgrounds and characters.

True. I've actually seen that happen come to think about it. Probably should save that sort of background intertwining until after the final selections are made as you suggest.
These are my favorites.
My regular feats will probably go towards

Rule the Razor you say? A fool’s ambition. The subtleties and perils of this realm are manifold. Land and sea murder at the whim of ancient gods. Men’s smiles hide a thousand knives. Those fooled into believing that the Kraken’s tentacles are more fearsome than its insidious and far‑reaching schemes soon find themselves cruelly enlightened – usually moments before calamity claims their souls. The Razor is too vast, its terrors too multitudinous, for even the bravest adventurer to conquer. It won’t stop them from trying though, and that means good business for me. I thank the gods daily for sending so many fools into this world.
— Saldrin Seaheart,
local guide and purveyor of “adventuring supplies”
This is the recruitment post for the Razor Coast game. Many will try to brave the treacherous Razor but most will die. Drink hard and enjoy your vices now because your death will be horrific. I’m looking for 6 brave, or foolish adventurers. I plan to keep this recruitment open for a week (7 days), depending on the response. I’ll check several times a day and review entries as they come in.
Two of the six positions have been filled already by a witch (Lucrenzia) and an inquisitor (STR Ranger).
Permitted Races:
Core Races
Cat Folk
Changeling
Goblins
Kitsune
Prohibited Classes:
alchemist, gunslinger, and summoner. Note: guns and black powder may be introduced later in the game. If it is introduced then it is going to be a new invention that the players will come across. There will be some DM boons at that time.
Books Permitted:
CRB, APG, UE, UM, UC, Shackles material. As DM I will use the RC books that I own, and I also will use a lot of 3PP material, especially from Raging Swann, Rite Publishing, and Frog God Games.
There are parts of permitted books that I do not use including but not limited to: Word of Power and Spell Duels, so it’s best to double check with the DM.
I do not permit ARG (except for the non-core races that I’ve permitted).
No ACG.
I’m not going to use the RC players guide for two reasons: 1. I don’t own it, and 2. I don’t want the players to have to buy the book. That being said if you own the book and want to use something from the book in your character build feel free to PM me with the details for consideration.
Warning:
Eastern equipment doesn’t really fit this adventure, so think twice if you design an eastern themed character, gear will be hard to come by and wickedly expensive.
Crunch and Rules for the Build:
Point Buy 20, plus your 4th level Stat bonus
No score below a 10, before racial adjustment.
Traits: 1 trait from the APG and 1 trait from Skull & Shackles
Everyone’s base begins: 1 level of either aristocrat, expert or warrior. Consider this your pre-adventuring life. This is a way to give players a small HD, skill, and save bonus. You begin with 1 NPC level and 4 Class levels.
Starting wealth: 6,000 gp. You can have no more than 2,500 GP in any one item.
Alignment: No real alignment restrictions, except you must work well together. I’m obviously not going to have LG and CE players in the same group. Depending on the party selection, I may ask a player to change their alignment to ensure party cooperation.
Hit Points: Max HP’s for your NPC level and class level one, thereafter you roll HPs. Reroll 1’s.
Ability scores and Skills: Explain how you arrive at your ability scores and skill totals. This makes it easy for me, so I do not have to deconstructive builds.
Item Creation: Scrolls and potions should be fine in down time but I doubt there will be enough time and suitable location to craft other items. I try to run a balanced game but unfortunately the balance tips when characters create their and their party members ultimate gear for a fraction of the cost.
Second Wind: Every character gets the innate ability to heal themselves 1d4+1 HP, 2/day, as a standard action.
Develop a brief description/background: I know many players spend a lot of time creating their background, and as a DM I respect that, and try to incorporate some (not all) links into the game. However, what matters more to me as a DM is your posting history. I do read game threads and I will see if there a history of vanishing from games. That being said, if you are new to PBP I do encourage you to submit a character – I was new once too. I have been known to choose one relatively inexperienced player per game, as I feel this helps to pay it forward.
Note: Those selected will get a few extra boons after they are selected.
Adult Themed: This will be adult themed, but well within Paizo's PBP standards. When in doubt put it behind a spoiler.
I’m looking for players that can work together and post more than a simple line, or two, of dice stats – descriptive actions will make it enjoyable to read. I try to be descriptive in my posting.
House Rules:
1. I do not retcon actions. I keep a brisk game pace. It becomes problematic for me to redo actions and consequences. Sorry.
2. A natural "1" on an attack roll is a possible fumble. The player makes a DC10 DEX check, including any ability modifier in the roll. A number below a 10 means you have either dropped your melee weapon or snapped your bow/crossbow string or your thrown weapon was dropped.
3. Roll HPs each level, reroll 1’s.
4. I will occasionally dip into the sanity/madness rules if the situation arises.
5. Just because something appears in a book does not make it automatically available for game play.
6. I will occasionally make an error in a rule interpretation. If that happens, cite the rule link for reconsideration. I will often, but not always, adjust the results. Just because something is arguably RAW does not make it automatically acceptable in this game. Please do not be a rules lawyer and argue every point that gets tedious.
There may be others, GM reserves right to amend.
Posting Requirements:
I’m an attentive DM and I post a boatload. This game will be quick paced, probably quicker than most PBP players are use to, my games consistently average 20 to 40 (or more) posts a day. I would like to see 2 posts out of the players. I understand that this can and will fluctuate with real life, but you can see from my previous games that I am a consistent and reliable poster.
I understand real life happens but warn us if you cannot post for a while. It is frustrating when someone drops off the boards without a notice. Communication is key and it’s simple courtesy.
I'm not a big fan of mega-game breaking builds, just because it’s arguably RAW doesn’t make it acceptable in my game. Power-gaming and cookie cutter builds lifted from some forum’s post or guide are frowned upon. I’m not looking for perfect builds but rather well balance characters.
A word of thanks to STR Ranger for his compliment on my DM style. If anyone has ever gamed with him, you know he comes up with incredible builds, but what makes STR Ranger different is he is an excellent roleplayer, who does not let his powerful builds overwhelm the story and other players.
Witch is taken, so be it. Second idea - kitsune bard with the Sandman archetype, or a class combo headed for arcane trickster. Either of which is a worshipper of The Lantern King. Social engineer and skill monkey, essentially. Oracle or Cleric of such could be fun as well.
I do not have much action on my account, I know, but I lurk constantly and have played tabletop for more than 25 years. I have been wanting to get into a game that is roleplaying heavy instead of a completely dice determined hack n slash.
Will get started on the background and crunch. Exciting!
I cannot convey enough guys.
Baldwin is serious about posting frequently.
For nearly the first 6 months in COT the whole group posted about 4-6 times a day.
We are at the final battle and we will be one of the very few groups to actually finish an AP online.
This level of engagement is only possible because of Baldwin's brilliant maps and attention to keeping up round by round.
I have had 3 chars over the course of this game and all were powerful builds that still died for one reason or another. Those who like strong chars (like I do) have to play the ROLE not merely the numbers.
Be descriptive with your posts, not simply 'Zod full attacks again'
Duncan is a Inquisitor of Ragathiel and smith by trade. Originally a member of a Westcrani group known as the Brotherhood, he seeks to exact vengeance for those downtrodden who cannot defend themselves.
Having died once in Westcrown from being surrounded by Monk assassins, he was pulled from the line in the boneyard and sent to another version of the world to close a Gateway called the dark road. Having survived a battle with a great evil, the crazy wizard who sponsored his group teleported him to the ship on the razor coast, to act as a guard for the ships captain. For the two were friends and Duncan was keen to serve his emprehal lord where he could. Wild and untaimed lands always held downtrodden, in need of a protector. ..and Duncan wanted a home.
Regarding the posting frequency I don't want to scare folks off but it can be rapid at times. You take a day or two off from looking at the boards and the numbers pile up. The COT game had some insane posting rates but that's why its the second highest posted in PbP game on these boards. Second only to a mass player game. However, the rate in this game will be lighter (I think) and should resemble my Rappan Athuk game which has 6200 posts in 15 months of time.
Baldwin, your booklist said the UC was allowed.
Did you mean Ultimate Combat or Campaign, since you have both...
HP:1d8 ⇒ 7 HP:1d8 ⇒ 8 HP:1d8 ⇒ 5 HP:1d8 ⇒ 6 Sweet
I'm going to ask that questions be posted in the recruitment thread (you a spoiler if you want) this will make it easier on me to respond timely plus others may have similar questions.
Where in Golarion is the ship leaving for the Razor Coast departing from?
I'm looking pretty strongly at a saurian shaman. Considering goblin for race but undecided as of yet.
Lol. Duncan won't like you.
Jelani - Don't take that as bad thing either. He was suspicious of the cleric in the last game for several months. It turned out to be excellent roleplay.
Will work on something. I'm hesitating between a cleric of Abadar who will work towards bringing civilization to the Coast, or a "put on a ship to die somewhere else" warrior- or scoundrel-type.
I will be putting together a chaotic neutral singer/actress bard with emphasis on illusions in the next few days for submission. I have not decided on a race yet, but my main idea is that she is constantly imitating those around her (ranging from mockingly so, meaning it as a compliment, or simple professional enthusiasm). She may or may not have multiple personas that she falls in and out of, maybe. Have to decide if she's crazy or just enjoys being other people. Of course, by extension this will make her a master of disguise and general skullduggery, which will all be good fun for her.

The "angle" is what I'm looking for...
Ah, clerics and scoundrels my two favorite classes.
The following people have expressed an interest in the game (this is in no particular order and if I missed you simply let me know.
Sorry if there is typo in the name):
EDIT: Are we considered 5th-level as far as how many feats we've acquired and the like? Or is the NPC level just a bonus level that doesn't count for anything other than HD, Class Skills, and Skill points?
I'll go ahead and withdraw, if that's ok. Core races are kind of boring to me (I GM a lot, so I am always having to make and play core race NPCs). I was kind of hoping to dust off a previously made character who was in a game that died, but all my previous characters either wouldn't fit, or aren't allowed by race. Thank you anyway.

Thank you for asking that question. I was going to address that after selection, but it's best to do it now.
The NPC does not count for anything but HD, class skills, skill point totals, saves and BAB. It does not count towards feat or when ability stat bonuses apply.
It's simply giving a little character boost showing that you had a life before focusing your attention on your adventuring class.
