Character Creation
- Available Classes
There are 15 available classes. See the main page for a listing of these classes. If there is a class you are interested in that isn't on this list, please let me know. Sooner would be better than later.
- Available Races
These races are permitted PC races:
- Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Halfing, Human, Catfolk, Changeling, Dhampir, Drow, Duergar, Fetchling, Ghoran, Gillmen, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Ifrit, Kitsune, Kobold, Nagaji, Orc, Oread, Ratfolk, Samsaran, Sylph, Tengu, Tiefling, Undine, Vishkanya, Wayang.
These races are NOT permitted PC races:
- Aasimar, Android, Goblin Monkey, Grippli, Lashunta, Merfolk, Strix, Suli, Svirfneblin, Vanara
It should also be noted that many of the less-common races with unusual appearances may encounter social stigma in civilized areas.
While I'm willing to consider any of the alternate racial traits, I haven't read them all, so I'd like to review them before they are approved for the campaign.
- Feats
A LOT of feats have been modified, removed, or added. While it is still a work in progress, please refer to the feats sections on this wiki, rather than the d20pfsrd. If there is a particular feat you are considering, which is on this wiki but hasn't been updated yet, let me know, and I'll put it at the head of the line for review. Most of the really commonly-taken feats (like weapon focus) will not be changed. Less common feats (like Athletic) have been revised to be more palatable. A number of feats (like Vital Strike) have been removed from the game for balance purposes.
- Character History and Plot Hooks
Do not create a backstory for your character. Instead, please focus on personality traits and quirks, as these will be far more useful to you. All will be explained once we start the campaign.
- Starting Stats
Stat generation will use a point buy system, with 28 points. Stat costs are:
Stat 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Cost -2 -1 0 1 2 3 5 7 10 13 17
No more than one stat may be bought below a 10 (racial mods may bring a second stat below 10), and no stat may exceed an 18 without a racial mod. For those of you who would like to use a calculator, this web page has a fairly useful one: Point Buy Calculator (use the first one on the page; the second one uses different numbers).
- Starting Gold
Starting gold for all characters will be zero. Each character will begin the campaign with a basic set of (non-armor) clothing, and the only reason I'm even giving you clothing is because I'm basically a prude.
- Starting Hit Points
Level 1 characters get full CON SCORE plus max hit die for HP's at level 1. Hit dice are restored to old (lower) values.
- Multiclassing
Multiclassing is permitted, but you must have at least 5 levels in a class before you can change to a new one. If this completely horks up your plan for a particular prestige class, let me know, and I might make an exception. This is primarily to prevent 'class dipping' and saving throw min-maxing.
- Retraining
Each time a character gains a level, she may, if she wishes, retrain out a single element of her character's abilities: a feat, 1 level's worth of skill points, the decision to take an extra skill over a hit point, etc. Doing so allows her to swap this out with a new ability she likes better. This gives players a chance to undo choices they've made that didn't pan out the way they'd hoped. Note that you may not train out an ability that is a prerequisite for another ability. Backing down a feat tree in this manner can be done, but may take several levels.
