Creating a new character

When creating a character, keep in mind a few important aspects to make it more alive and interesting. They should have history, quirks and other features that make them interesting and pleasurable to roleplay, and be roleplayed with. Consider their place of birth, how did they acquire the skills they possess. Were they already living in a playable city? Or were they from outside town, or even another country? Do they have family, close or far? What's their moral compass, and what are the dreams and goals that drive it to improve and take risks? What are your goals as a player for the character to achieve?
We're a community that focused on the aspect of roleplaying first and foremost!

Every character is required to have a basic backstory with character goals, and player goals.

Character Sheets

Most of us use Mythweavers.

Some of us use the pathfinder autosheet v6 on Google Sheets. Ask a DM if you want to use a different sheet. We don't use Roll20 sheets

Everyone starts at level 1.




Ability Scores

You build your characters around 25 point buy.




Alignment

You are not restricted with the choice of your alignment, but most content is made for good and neutral characters.
Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil is hard to fit in, and it's not advised to be chosen by people who are afraid of loss or are inexperienced.
