Character Creation Guidelines

Options: 

• Anything found in either the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook or the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is fair game. 
• I will be finding/developing rules for firearms shortly and posting them here.
  
• To set attributes, you may use the purchase system described in Chapter 1, "Getting Started", with 20 points to spend.
  
• You are allowed to choose 2 Traits from the Pathfinder RPG Character Trait Sheet, but they cannot be from the same family.
• As has been stated, this game will be high seas-ish. The setting is Faerun, but with the addition of firearms, which will have very poor accuracy, but good damage. I would not recommend you specializing in using guns, as they will really not be that useful. Cannons on the ships will be useful, but handheld muskets and pistols won't be too amazing.
• Another thing to keep in mind is that many sailors are very superstitious and do not believe that either wizards or women should be allowed on board a ship. This may or may not come into play, so if you are playing a woman or a wizard, be prepared to face adversity in trying to find passage.
  

Requirements:

• Your character is just setting out on their first adventure. They are above average, but they have not done anything truly incredible yet. 
• Please create enough of a backstory that your character can explain why they have the skills and feats you have given them. It doesn't have to be complex, but I may be willing to give you extra skills or feats if you write a compelling backstory.
• Once you have created your character, pass it by me so I can work on fitting your particular strengths/weaknesses into the plot and provide advice on build and/or ask for clarification.
