This game will use a 20-point buy system to allow a greater spread of abilities. I ask that players refrain from min-maxing, but if you can play it well in roleplay, I might let it pass.
All characters will begin at Level 1 with maximum health. Should this game continue on past first level, roll to determine how much extra health you get. You may roll 1 extra Hit dice for your HP rolls per constitution modifier and take the highest die rolled.
For starting gold, you will start with twice average for your class, or you may roll, and double the end result. I do this because the idea for this game is that you are all well off and have been invited to a special event at the manor. In terms of equipment, I ask that you start with only light armor, or preferably no armor at all. This gives sense that you didn't come for a fight.
All races and classes in Official Paizo products are allowed. Same goes for equipment. I would like to see how some classes can be incorporated into being low level nobility.
Finally, all players are give 2 additional skill points for background skill. Note: Craft (Alchemy) and any Preform are main skills for Alchemists and bards respectively. This gives you a chance to give your character a job that got them to this point in their life. (Side note: I love seeing odd crafts and professions, such as basket weaving and cook)
And I think that about covers it. I thank any who post for taking interest, and appologize for any inconveniences my forgetfulness has caused from lacking to give this information in the beginning. I hope to see some good ideas, and hope we all can have a good time.
