Check out the free Player's Guide for this campaign for some great information on the setting of the Rise of the Runelords adventure path and to help with your character's backstory.
Characters:
For this adventure path, players must build a character to the following specifications:
1st level
Max HP for 1st level, half+1 for each other level (d8 = 5, etc.)
Paizo material only (no 3rd party)
Races: Core races (but no gnomes)
Classes: No witches, alchemists, gunslingers, or summoners. Everything else Paizo is okay, including the Advanced Class Guide classes.
Alignment: Any alignment is fine, but disruption due to alignment is not. Your Paladin better not try to arrest the rogue for petty theft, and your Chaotic Evil wizard better not try to kill his friends because he wants more of the loot. Keep in mind you're supposed to be heroes.
No firearms
20 pt. buy
200 gp to start
2 traits (campaign traits allowed)
Characters native to Sandpoint begin with a bonus 1 rank in Knowledge (Local). Non-natives get 1 rank in any other Knowledge skill.
All characters begin with a bonus 1 rank in any Craft, Profession, or Perform skill. This skill is treated as a class skill for you.
Characters begin play knowing all common, all racial/ethnic languages, plus one additional language if your character has a positive Intelligence bonus (not one bonus language per point). Ranks in Linguistics grant additional languages as normal.
Racial, religion, and regional feats or traits which have no reason to be restricted to one particular race/religion/region are available to anyone with GM approval. Ask me first. Racial spells and archetypes remain restricted. Racial Heritage is allowed but get approval on what you're using it for first.

Proper grammar and spelling is a must.
Please provide a backstory for your character, including a reason why they are in Sandpoint.
