Step 1: Character Guidelines
- 1) All Characters start at level 1
2) You start with the max gold allowed for your class. (Ex. a barbarian gets 3d6*10 would start with 180gp)
3) Hit dice is never rolled and is max.
4) Starting age is based off the race table given. (Example. If you were playing an elf Fighter your starting age can be anywhere in between 116-146 years.) Tiefling/aasimar Races use the Errated Age table. (They age like Half-Elfs)
5) Races - You can choose from Core Races, Featured Races, Common Races, Standard Races and Advanced Races. There are two exceptions to this rule. Wyrwood and Android races are banned)
6) Alternate racial traits that can be rolled from a table can be chosen freely or rolled. Racial traits that increase stats must be rolled for and can not be picked. The rolled result is what you are stuck with. A GM is reguired to be present and verify the rolls. If you roll THIS IS FINAL NO RETCONNING!! Multiple Roll options are banned.
7) For ability score generation we use the point buy system. 25 points is given for ability scores
8) Up to 2 traits are allowed, plus one more if at least one drawback is taken. Campaign, Regional and Religion traits can be taken freely
9) Racial and Category limitations to traits still apply, though using the background table to qualify for racial traits is permitted.
10) Background skill ranks available and can only be applied to background skills.
11) Any character who can have Common as automatic language must instead choose to gain either Taldane, Tien, or a human national language of origin. Characters who have Common as bonus language option instead gain Taldane, Tien and their human national language or origin. (Those from outside of Tian Xia gain Taldane only, those of Tian Xia gain Tien only.)(edited)
12) A character who has chosen either Taldane or Tien as automatic language always gains the other as bonus language option.
13) You may have a total of four characters slots. Each slot is unlocked after a period of time of activity. 2nd character can be made after 1 month of activity on server, 3rd after 3 months, and finally 4th at 6 months.
14) No 3rd party or homebrew allowed. (This includes stuff piazo made for 3.5. An example would be The legacy of fire AP. If you have question on what is and isnt please ask.)
15) We use the kingdom Building and downtime Variant Campaign Rules though besides that please ask and the GMS can look into adding said Rule
16) We use the alternate crafting rules.
17) The GMs reserve the right to change and adjust character creation rules as they feel to better the game and maintain balance. This could be done on the fly if needed as they could have overlooked any issue.
18) Please remain respectful to all staff and other players. If you have any issue with staff please direct your issue to either Demi or Crazle and they will make sure your request is handed in a timely fashion
Step 2: Character Sheet
Create an online character sheet. It is recommended to use the "Pathfinder [Experimental]" sheet found on Myth-Weavers, be sure to list every detail (even things like creature type and base size - yes, even if you're human) and follow the example of this template sheet. Other types of sheets are accepted as well, as long as they can comply to are conveniently readable for the GMs and can be updated.
Step 3: Character Thread
Create a character thread in this board according to the instructions detailed in this template thread. Be sure to add a dedicated post for each of the categories (you should end up with at least 5 replies if you have done so correctly). Once you have done so, wait for a GM to approve your character.
If you make a character coming from the southern part of Tian xia speak with crazle as there is a good bit going on.
Finally please check the discord room as a second reference for the rules. All new rules will be update their first.
