Be it so known that the bearer of this charter has been charged by the Swordlords of Restov, acting upon the greater good and authority vented within them by the office of the Regent of the Dragonscale Throne, has granted the right of exploration and travel within the wilderness region known as the Greenbelt. Exploration should be limited to an area no further than thirty-six miles east and west and sixty miles south of Oleg's Trading Post. The carrier of this charter should also strive against banditry and other unlawful behavior to be encountered. The punishment for unrepentant banditry remains, as always, execution by sword or rope. So witnessed on this 24th day of Talistril, under the watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov and authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of the Dragonscale Throne.
Character creation:
-25 pt buy
-Starting at 1st level
-Average starting gold by class
-Max HP at first level, roll every other level.
-Any non-evil alignment
-2 traits, one of which must be from the Kingmaker Player's Guide. You may take a drawback for an additional trait.
-Any class is allowed, and any archetype aside from Synthesist Summoner.
-All Core, Featured, and Uncommon races except for Drow Noble and Svirfneblin are allowed.
-Material from all official Paizo books are allowed, where applicable.
-3rd party material is allowed on a case-by-case basis. There is no harm in asking, but I make no promises.
-A backstory for your character, with some depth to them. I like depth, and I take the character backgrounds into account when selecting a party, so make it count.
-Give a general direction for your character from a gameplay standpoint. What they'll be able to bring to a party, what aspects of their class they emphasize, and where you intend to go with them build-wise over time. It doesn't have to be along, just to give me an idea of what you're going for.
And then some notes about just the game and how I run things.
-We won't be using the grid. Narrative combat for life.
-I don't like bogging the game down or restricting how you want to build a character by worrying about carrying capacity, so encumbrance is out. Your strength will still be important for carrying really heavy objects, but your low-strength Rogue can carry all the rope they want.
-Reflavouring certain things to better suit a character is more than okay by me.
-Houseruling, like third party material, is something you need only ask about.
-To account for the higher point buy and larger group size, encounters will be rebalanced for higher difficulty as needed.
-If you played/GMed parts of the game before, it's not a problem. I think most people can avoid powergaming just fine.
I'm looking for a group of 5 or 6 players to run through Kingmaker. Specifically, people who can make at least one post a day on weekdays and one during weekends. Party selection will be decided by a mix of having a party that hits all the necessary roles (obviously with some redundancy given the larger size), and on the strength of applicants' backstories.
I'll keep recruitment open for roughly a week, and be around to answer questions/comment on applications as needed. If you have an existing character for a previous Kingmaker game that fell through/you didn't get picked for, but who is under different build rules, don't worry about tweaking it until you're accepted. The backstory and general idea is what I care about more than having everything done right now.
