Note from Module 1: The Haunting of Harrowstone” assumes that the PCs have personal ties to recently deceased Professor Petros Lorrimor.
This provides a reason for Lorrimor’s daughter, Kendra, to invite the PCs to her father’s funeral, and also explains why the PCs appear in the professor’s will. The Carrion Crown Player’s Guide informs players about everything they need to know to play characters that will fit in well with the country of Ustalav and the Carrion Crown Adventure Path. Included in this player’s guide are a number of campaign traits that players can choose for their characters—in addition to providing minor benefits, each of these campaign traits gives the PCs reasons to come to Ravengro to pay their respects to Professor Petros Lorrimor.
Character Generation:
Roll [dice]4d6[dice] (keeping the highest 3) 7 times, the seventh roll may replace any of the earlier rolls. The rolled stats may be moved around to best fit your character.
If your combined ability scores are below a +9 you may reroll.
5th level
Templates are allowed but if you take a CR 2 template you can only have a 3rd level character.
HP: Max 1st level, roll twice for each level. Keep a record of your rolls.
Also if you roll two 1's you get max HP for that level. It almost never happens.
Ability Scores should be spelled out as such:
Mod | Final | (Starting, Race, Template, magic items, age)
+7 | Str 25 | (15, +0, +6, +4, +0)
+7 | Dex 24 | (16, +2, +4, +2, +0)
| Con -,
+3 | Int 16 | (11, +2, +0, +0, +3)
+2 | Wis 14 | (11, +0, +0, +0, +3)
+10 | Cha 31 | (18, +0, +6, +4, +3)
Everyone starts with one special aura. This ability will give your class a focus and other minor abilities. So if you picked Ice, you may want to be able to freeze water if you touch it with your finger. You likely would become resistant to cold, gain the ability to slide naturally on ice, or the ability to create water.
Suggestions: Regeneration, Lightning, Fire, Acid, Cure, Inflict, Draconic, Fey, Angelic, Beast.
All classes are accepted, if you play an occult class you will need to explain it a lot.
2 traits.
Background skills and feat tax adjustments are encouraged. If you have any questions please ask, we are using the elephant in the room rules!
I expect you each to have a character sheet, a description, a background story, personality & preferences, I want a major flaw. This could be a physical deformity that you are trying to overcome or a mental addiction to porn. You choose! We have had several players be claustrophobic.
Wealth by level gives you each a total of 10,000 gp. But knowing my games have so many more magical devices and such so instead you will have wealth greater by a level, so 18,500 gp!
***If your rolls are under the average then you likely will get a few +2s.***
A few questions: How long are you keeping recruitment open for? How many players are you taking? What races will you permit? What sort of posting rate are you looking for?
I would say it depends on demand. If we have a lot of interest, which it looks like and everyone wants a week to develop their characters we can wait for the week. We are continuing the story and I am not sure how many previous players will be joining us. I am assuming Imrik and Calin. They should dot in soon enough. Then I would be willing to take on three more players.
Races: Any race is an option, if you take a monstrous race or template you lose the equivalent number of levels. So if I take a +2 template, then I only get three levels.
Posting Rate:
I am aiming at 2 posts a day Monday thru Thursday. Once we start I probably would like more than that so we can get off running. I plan to make a lot of responses around 9 pm, pacific time.
If you pick fire as your aura you could cast the cantrip spark. Later gain fire resist 5 and at 5th gain
To break it down it gives you some special benefits:
A cantrip that matches your 'element'
1/day spell like ability (1st spell).
At 3rd level gain resistance to element 5.
At 5th level gain a 1/day spell like ability (1st or 2nd level spell).
and gain affinity for your chosen 'element'
etc...
If you need any more clarification let me know and if anyone has an idea but wants help to develop it just let me know.

I was thinking of taking ogrekin template.
The template has a built in defrmaty. Would this qaukify for your creation restriction?
Thank you
