Character creation rules
Stats: 25 point buy

Classes: All hardcover classes from the CRB, APG, UM, UC, and ACG

Races: All CRB races + Tengu, Wayang, Kitsune, and Nagaji are always acceptable. For any Paizo races, please ask for permission and I reserve the right to change something about the race to balance it if necessary. Do note that you'll be starting off in a fairly human-centric town in Varisia. However, come up with a cool enough concept and I'll probably be cool with it, though :)

Traits: One traits + one campaign trait from the free Rise of the Runelords Players Guide. A third trait may be earned for taking a drawback

Feats: No Leaderhsip! Besides the normal feats you get for race/class/level, you can get one of the following for free:

  • Acrobatic
  • Alertness
  • Animal Affinity
  • Athletic
  • Deceitful
  • Deft Hands
  • Hermean Blood
  • Nature Soul
  • Persuasive
  • Prodigy
  • Scholar
  • Self-Sufficient
  • Skill Focus
  • Stealthy

Alignment: Anything except NE or CE. LE is allowed with a watchful eye, but at least LE can play nice with others and don't mind looking the hero if it suits their needs.

Starting gold: 300gp. Makes it fair for everyone and also means you can have some decent armor and a weapon for the melee types, or a couple of potions for that early level or two.

Backstory: You are either a resident or recent transplant to the small town of Sandpoint which bears roughly 1200 citizens. It's located on the southwestern part of Varisia, due south of Magnimar. See the campaign traits the Players Guide for more info.

HP: I'll use the Pathfinder Society method of max at first level, half+1 for future levels.

House rules

Hero Points: I like the hero point system. For those unfamiliar, they can be found here Hero Point rules. Everyone will start off at 1 hero point, gaining more for awesome deeds, gaining levels, and reaching milestones.

Botting: If need be to push things along, I may bot a PC or delay them. If you have a preference, let me know.

Item Creation: For the most part, I'm going to not have much for restrictions on item creation other than say, time. There will be points you can have downtime to do this. Other times, it will just be the slow progress of only getting a little work done at night.

Combat: I will roll initiatives and majority of saving throws for you. This is mostly to save time so I can post what the spell or ability's results were.

Alright, let's have some fun!
