Character Creation

## Morisia Character Creation Guidelines

* Everyone starts with a 25 point buy to allocate their stats. (This tool can help you calculate them.)
	+ Additionally, you can exchange the ability score modifiers from your race with either of the following options, if you wish:
		- +2 to any one score.
		- +2 to one Physical score, +2 to one Mental score, and -2 to a third score of your choice.
* All characters start at level 2
* All characters use Medium XP progression.
* Core, Standard, Featured and Uncommon races are allowed except Svirfneblin and Drow Nobles, coupled with Morisia-exclusive races detailed here.
* Everyone has one character slot to start with. When your first character reaches level 8, you gain your second character slot. When you second character reaches level 8, you gain a third one. Once a character reaches level 15, they no longer take up a character slot.
* Every character starts with 1000 gold.
* All classes that start with 2 skill points per level now start with 4 skill points per level.
* When leveling up, you gain HP as if you rolled the maximum on your hit die.
* When selecting traits, you are able to select the same type of trait more than once.
	+ Regional and Religion traits that specify a region or deity in Golarion must be brought up in the Q&A channel for approval. Please mention any areas/deities that strike you as appropriate equivalents and why, and we will try to work with you to port the Trait in question over appropriately.
* You cannot multiclass. Prestige classes are available, but only after getting approval.
* Every character starts with two traits. They can get an additional trait by taking a drawback.
* Make sure to make your sheet readable for GMs. For an example, look at this sheet.
	+ Please be sure to use the base Pathfinder sheet on Myth-Weavers, *not* the Experimental sheet. This is for consistency's sake.
* Once you're done creating your character, head to the #mod-mail channel to create a ticket, and wait for a moderator to confirm whether the character's legal. When that's done, you will be able to play!

## Notes

When creating your character, please keep the following points in mind:

**Be able to work with other player characters.** If the character archetype that you envision is a lone wolf incapable of discussing plans with allies and acts on their own, please reconsider making them.

**Your character is special.** Pathfinder is a system that works best with high fantasy. At the lowest of levels, being John Commonman is possible, but know that you’ll quickly become capable of performing feats ordinary people won’t be able to perform.

**Don’t min-max to the point it takes away other peoples' fun.** Simple rule, repeated quite often, but that’s for a good reason.

**Get GM approval on limited/banned options before you send in your sheet.** If you want to use a class, race, talent option, Dropout etc. that says it requires GM approval or that falls under a limited/banned clause in our rules, ask that approval in the #questions-and-answers channel on Discord *before* you submit your sheet as a ticket.
