Thank you for the assistance, you answered most my questions and provided a helpful link, thanks again.

I assume that my character was already in a Faction that you HAVE to be in one? Or is that just the default? Or did the GM from the campaign choose that?

Hello, I consider myself a "new" player in the world of d20 -related games, as I've never made it past level 4, due to GMs losing interest, players moving, etc.

Anyways, I joined my local hobby shop in its new pathfinder campaign, and I was given a number and registered here. While doing that, it asked what Faction I belonged to, so I became curious. After a while of trying to research without JOINING a Faction, I decided to ask here a few questions.

Beforehand, this isn't a plea for recruitment, I'm looking for answers, not people responding with "please join us" posts. I do apologize for having to say that, but anyone with message board or MMO experience understand where I come from with that.

SO, now to my questions:

What are the factions about?
Is there a purpose to joining one?
Does/can it affect my character in sessions?
We're playing starting in a story from Rise of the Runelords, I don't know how that ties in with whatever current story is happening, but do factions exist or matter in this story?
What if I am in a Faction and play a campaign with players from opposing factions?

I'm sorry if that's a lot to ask at once, or seems ignorant, I just want to get my facts straight before I start climbing into beds, heh

Thank you for any help provided!
