This campaign will be strictly Golarion (no spells, feats, deities, Prestige classes, etc. from other “worlds”), and with races and classes found in either the Pathfinder Core Rulebook or Pathfinder Campaign Setting. All characters will be based on these “3.75” rules.

Characters can be made for a “High Fantasy” campaign (20 points) using the Point Buy method found on page 16 (tables 1-1 and 1-2 in Core Rulebook). Everyone starts at 1st level in Sargava (unless you and/or your character joined later in the campaign). PCs should have a reason to be there (edit: Hugh will supply the reason). Use the Starting Character Wealth on page 140 (table 6-1). We are using the “Flat” starting hit points for first level (Max for class + Constitution bonus). No evil characters please.

Players are strongly encouraged to email the entire group (not just Kristin, who thinks it’s funny to have an “all gnome rogue” group) with ideas for their new characters.

Character sheets will be created and stored here: https://rpgs.wererat.net/pcs/ so that the DM has access to them as needed.

You can incorporate two of the “Basic Character Traits” from Second Darkness or Serpent’s Skull Player’s Guide (or from here) into your background for free.

No character or inventory item, etc. is in play unless it has been approved by the DM. This includes characters that have gone up a level since the last time Hugh has okayed a character sheet. Things discussed between characters that effect game play do not happen if the DM is not made aware of them.

Main books/sources used for character creation:

• http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
  
• Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting or Gazetteer
• Pathfinder Core Rulebook
• Pathfinder Companion: Second Darkness (character traits)
• Pathfinder Companion: Adventurer’s Armory
• Other Pathfinder Companion or Chronicles on a case-by-case basis.
• Some materials/errata from Pathfinder RPG Home Page, approved on a case-by-case basis.

Character Death & New Characters

Character deaths happen, and resurrection isn’t always an option. If a character dies heroically, the player may create a new character at the level the old character would have been at had they been resurrected, with the addition of that session’s experience points. Characters coming into the game in this fashion have to make sense for the story line.

The new character’s starting funds are shown in the Core Rulebook on table 12-4 (page 399). All magic items must be approved by the DM.
