This is the intro for a campaign I will be starting in just a few weeks. Getting characters finalized before then, but the general concepts are all there.
This game will be a bit of change - the group I play in / GM is a HERO system group. But I love the setting - it's the first time in my life I am running a published setting for a game; I always run homebrew. But as I play Pathfinder solo with the wife, and read a lot of the setting, I've fallen in love with it. The wife isn't as happy about it and won't run me in Golarion. So I decided to GM it.
Now as the PCs are in the HERO system, they won't fall quite in the standard classes, but are informed by them. And they are starting the equivalent of about 3rd level for Pathfinder - and there will be solid jumps in power.
The PCs -
Drei-
Paladin/Sorcerer .Half Desert Elf, Half Drow. Desert Elves are darker, the only real Drow visuals of the character are the eyes. Character is a Paladin, but is a ranged combat specialist, who makes funky enchanted arrows, and can deliver some spells through them. Also a few Arcane type spells from his drow heritage, and very good with bows. Hunts the undead and the overarching driving force for the character to adventure - trying to stop undead completely. From the northern deserts of Garund. Worshiper of Desna.
Unnamed
Bard/Rogue/Ranger. Mostly Human. Pretty classic Pathfinder bard - music to have magical effects, and covers for not having a rogue in the party. Snakish Eyes, may be mystically tied to ancient snake race. Also good in nature and in survival. Wanderer not telling his origin, but somewhere south Garund. No known motivation yet.
Unnamed
Fighter/Barbarian. Human. Classic Zulu warrior. Tattooed, no armor but a loincloth. Each tattoo has some mystical effect - some gives him some protection, others have limited uses that do Ghost Touch or other effects. Primary front line fighter. From the Mwangi Expanse. Want to find what happened to his tribe/clan. They are missing and presumed dead.
Unnamed
Gunslinger/sorta Mage sorta Sorcerer. Human. Magic for battlefield control, Batman-wizard utility stuff and some area effect. Guns for single target. her overarching goal is to fix the magical flux in the Mana Wastes. She is from Alkenstar.
Characters are members of the Pathfinder Society and are starting in Garund. More details and actual sketches of the characters as this moves forward.
