Character Creation Thread

Hi all! Thank you for joining me on this adventure. My goal is to help us all understand better the Playtest system, and to practice playing it.

Please research the newest updates to the rules and use those when developing your character. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.

From what I have seen, "lore" is used as trades/jobs. So I was wondering if a "seamstress" lore was acceptable, as if my character tailored/making cloth items?

I think that could work under Mercantile Lore, and you can leverage that into your Seamstress job, if you would like.

Greetings everyone, thanks for letting me join.

So I don't end up making the same basic character as someone else already here, what characters do we currently have?

Welcome, everyone. Thanks for joining my game.

So far, we have 4 players in this 5 player game, and we have 2 adventurers thus far.

Please submit your characters using the most up-to-date rules from Paizo on the playtest. (We are on rules updates version 1.3).

Please send a link to your character sheet in the character sheet slot, as well as providing a relevant backstory to your character.

So far, we have an elf abjuration wizard, and a human paladin.

Have fun!

As the aforementioned paladin, hello all! I'm still reading all of the play test material, so if I miss anything, just let me know. Also, I do try to avoid the "lawful stupid" and "no fun allowed" tropes when it comes to paladins. But let me know if I start to wander over there, and we'll see if I can't reign that in.

Hey everyone, just letting you know that Paizo released Errata version 1.4 today.

Please update your characters appropriately.

Done and done!

Still waiting on Meribson and Deep_Lore to build out some characters.

Alright, looks like the update for Humans and Paladins was fairly minimal, so I should be ready to go.

Sorry it's taking me so long, life got pretty hectic all of a sudden. I should be able to whip up a character tonight. Currently thinking either an alchemist or a rogue.

So I'm putting together a half-orc alchemist named Gerrek. His formulae book utilizes the following system of measurement: pinches, dashes, handfulls, scoches, etc. As you might have guessed, he's self-taught.

That sounds amazing. Can't wait to see how that plays out.

He's loosely adapted from an old character I had in pathfinder 1e, a half-orc mutagen focused alchemist paired with a halfling bomb focused alchemist. Half-orc would chug a strength mutagen, then charge in with his falchion while the halfling chugged a dex mutagen and lob bombs.

Session 1 started with the two of them entering a small frontier town. The main storyline was in the tavern, and we didn't go there until session 3...there was a library in town that had books from a wizard's personal library before they died. The GM later told us that he had been thinking in his head "GO TO THE FREAKING TAVERN!!!"

*EDIT* This Gerrek is going to be more of a Strangelob than a Hyde type alchemist

I'm going with the young (18-19), slightly naive (just finished training) paladin. I think I've finally found a crafting system that doesn't require advanced mathematics to figure out, as well as the shield/dent system, so I'm eager to try that out some. We've got the Alchemist, me on the front lines, and a Wizard. So far, seems like the start of a fairly balanced party.

I've never seen alchemist played before in any campaigns so excited to see that. Looking forward to the campaign with you guys! :) I'm the wizard, btw. She's an adult in terms of elven age, and she is a scholar of her own right, training at an arcane college in her home city and down a lot of library work. However, she decided magic needed to be practiced and she needed her own real-life experiences than those told in legends. So off to travel she goes, landing herself in our current campaign.

Any updates from our fourth player?

I haven't heard from them, and I told them that they had the weekend to respond before I dropped them. If you know anyone interested in playing, tell them to reach out to me or just try to add themselves to this game.

Sounds fair. I'm still super new to the site, but I'll see if anyone I know IRL might be interested.

Hi Everyone,

How would people feel about changing this to Rise of the Runelords?

Please let me know!

Thanks,

Justice
