Build Rules
Hopefully this will never come up, because nobody dies or needs to be replaced, but...
Character Creation Guidelines
- Official Paizo material only
- No Third Party If I can't find it on Archives of Nethys, then it's a no
- Starting Level
- 3
- (There's a reason you were picked, after all)
- Point Buy
- 20 (Standard PF)
- I don't recommend dump stats - I'm the mean GM who'll make you play a low INT or have people react to low CHA - I'd definitely not recommend a stat under 8 after racial mods
- Allowable Races
- All core races, plus the planetouched.
- If you've got a really good backstory for something else, we can talk
- Allowable Classes and Archetypes
- Most, but...
- I'm not familiar enough with Occult to run that fairly, so it's out.
- Unchained Summoners are the only ones allowed.
- Other than that, if it's official Paizo, it's in.
- Exception
- No guns. For anyone.
- So, unless you want a Bolt Ace, that's a no on the Gunslinger.
- Alignment
- They're looking for heroes, and it's an LG nation with a paladin as it's ruler. So, yeah, no evil.
- (Also, no Lawful Stupid or Chaotic Stupid. I hate that.)
- Traits
- 2. One must be a campaign trait
- You can take a third in exchange for a drawback - but I'll want to talk about the drawback and how it can actually come up in play. Also, the traits need to actually make sense - you can't be the poor kid who grew up on a farm and then pick an urban trait, for instance.
- Hit Points
- Max at level 1. For every level thereafter, half plus a roll of a die with the same number of sides.
- So, that's 3+d3, 4+d4, 5+d5 or 6+d6
- Same applies to animal companions (since they're class features) - but not to NPCs (lookin' at you, leadership feat).
- Skills
- We will be using Background Skills, as described in Unchained. Skill unlocks are also a thing.
- Hero Points: They're in. You will all have 2 at the start of the campaign.
- Starting Gold: Max for a level 1 character
- Once you've built based on that, I'll provide a list of loot bags that represent what you found in your previous 2 levels worth of career -- people can then pick the one they want - and then do with it as they will (sell/trade, keep, whatever).
