Creating A Character

Before creating a character, check out this Alvena Primer.

Character Creation Rules

Characters in Alvena must adhere to the following rules.

• Pathfinder Races and Classes.
  • See Races of Alvena for additional playable races.
  • The Psion, Psychic Warrior, and Wilder are also playable classes; as are the psionics rules from the 3.5 SRD.
  • Additional race and class options may be available by request.

• Characters begin at 1st level. Each character receives double their starting HP from Hit Dice before constitution modifiers.
  • Example: A 1st level fighter with a d10 hit die and a +2 constitution bonus has 20 + 2 = 22 Hit Points; while a wizard with a d6 and a +1 constitution bonus begins play with 12 + 1 = 13 Hit Points.

• Check the House Rules page for additional important information.

• Characters may begin play with two Traits as per the rules for traits.

• Check the Campaign Resources links on the left sidebar to check out additional Feats, Traits, Classes, Prestige Classes, Equipment, Spells, and so forth.

• Please use a character sheet from DnDSheets.net, Myth-Weavers.com, or Rogue Penguin. All are very nice; and DnDSheets supports a Pathfinder sheet (though it's still in beta, I like it).

• Character Ability Scores are purchased with the Pathfinder Point Buy using the Epic (25) point allowance.
  • You may find this Point Buy Calculator handy.

• Characters begin with Average Starting Wealth for their class.
• Advanced Character Classes begin with Average Starting Wealth for their class.
  • Psychic Warriors begin with starting money as a cleric.
  • Psions begin play with money as a sorcerer.
  • Classes not listed here have their starting wealth based on their heaviest starting armor proficiency. 175 gp (heavy), 140 gp (medium), 105 gp (light), or 75 gp (not proficient).
