Shadow Lodge

so, I am a Drume and a Kersite.
Thank you very much.

wow what a coincidence....
I didn't look at the upcoming book.. and my new Pathfinder society character is.... The runaway daughter of a prophet of Kalistrade!!!

no magical artifact though...just a bag of holding and all the gold money and jewels she could pack in it.

too bad making up for a life made of restrictions and rules dictated by her father's avarice cost her almost all that gold, some of her personal jewels and the bag itself...

I just started Pathfinder society last night.
My character is from the city of Kerse on the Kalistocracy of Druma.

I wondered ... what are supposed to be called? Drumish? Drumese? Druman?

And on the specifics .. people from the city of Karse?

Well.. in my opinion assuming character's death as something "positive" in a challenging campaign is a mistake.

Characters death is the result of precise errors or shortcomings by the character itself. I think a well balanced campaign should not consider a "death count" the measure of how much challenge it provided.

If the party has to work hard for his survival and can feel threatened by the obstacles it face then is a well balanced campaign.

Of course, character death should be a serious possibility... You zig when you should have zagged, you suddenly fail in a critical task .. and you should Die.. Sure.

But the difference between a quest and a suicide mission is that the party is considered able to face the threats ahead and turn back home with their own legs.

So I don't think deaths are a viable way of measuring the balance of the game ...

On the other hand .. if a party can make a fool of itself, do all the wrong tactical choices and still complete the quests with no repercussions .. that's the signal...
