Hey all! Before we get into character creation, some basics on posting.
1. Basics:
Look at the tabs above this. The two most important are the Gameplay and Discussion tabs. The Gameplay tab is for in-character posts, as well as rolls and quick out-of-character comments. The Discussion tab is for longer ooc questions or discussions.
2. Formatting:
Use Bold text for in-character dialogue. Ex: Keresa fled back down the stairs whisper-screaming "Zombies!", her hands flailing comically above her head.
Use Italics for character thoughts. Ex: "Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap..." looped through Keresa's skull as she watched the disemboweled drunk gurgle to his feet.
Use Out of Character text for out-of-character comments and clarifications. Ex: Damn it Peter, stop misrepresenting my characters for cheap laughs!
How to do all of these and more can be found by clicking 'formatting' below a post window.
3. Aliases:
Each character should have their own alias. Please copy your character sheet into your 'Profile' tab; see here for an example of what I mean. Additionally, please put your HP, AC (+Touch and Flatfooted), CMD, Saves, Initiative, and Current Conditions in the Race/Class Levels/Gender options like in the example.
Pro tip: Write up your profile in notepad or similar, then copy-paste it into your profile. Paizo likes to eat posts if you spend too long writing them.
4. Character Creation:
I've gone over most of this with all of you already, but I'm re-stating it here in case there are questions and I'm not online.
First and foremost, this is a campaign wherein a group of like-minded citizens (that's you all) create and then spread a rebellion against Chelix and the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune. Please, please, please keep that in mind when you're making your characters.
We will be using Spheres of Power, but nothing by Dreamscarred Press. Sorry.
We will be using Background Skills.
20 point buy, average class wealth, max HP at first level and half+1 thereafter.
Three traits, no drawbacks. One must be a campaign trait.
Once you have an alias, please post in the Discussion tab. Don't post in the gameplay tab quite yet.
If you all would like to have your characters know each other before the campaign, go for it! It makes the initial part of this adventure a lot easier on me.
