What are some of the strategies you use for unifying a party before the campaign even begins?
- All characters are of the same race.
- All characters worship the same deity.
What other traits/experiences are good for creating unity in an early adventure party without railroading characters too much? Race and deity may be too constricting for some players. My group is starting a new Pathfinder sandbox campaign, which we'd like to start with characters that have some sort of bond. We're not deadset on what that bond might be, so I'm looking forward to your ideas.
