I have vague plans to run a Pathfinder game using Roll20. It will probably be set in the city of Magnimar, and focus on low level play.

The theme of the game would be a group of city dwellers working with/against a number of factions in the city, such as thieves, merchants, nobles and other more unusual groups.

It is expected that the level cap for the campaign will be 6th - 9th level.

Players can each have up to three characters defined. Only one character can be in play at once, but other characters can be used as either backups in the case of death, or as options when a particular adventure calls for a different skill set.

The primary character is the one being actively played. The other characters count as secondary. To be valid, a secondary character must have a name, race and class defined - though particular attributes and skills don't need to be fleshed out.

When the primary character gains XP, an dditional 75% of that XP value can be split amongst your valid secondary characters. So if your primary character gets 800 XP, a secondary character also gets 600XP (or they could both get 300 XP). How much XP the primary character gets is never affected by this split.

If a character dies, then you can bring it one of your secondary characters. Even if you don't want to play two characters, having a secondary backup means you don't have to start a new character at 1st level. If you have no secondary characters to fall back on, then you're starting a new character at 1st level.

Only one of your characters can be non-human at any given time. None of them can be the same class as another.

You may retire a character at any point. It will become an NPC controlled by the GM.

• Using the purchase method only.
  • 15 points to start with.
• No attribute can start higher than 18 (this includes any +2 bonus).

The following races are allowed: Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-Elf, Half-Orc.

All those in the Core book, plus others to be determined.

No: Swashbuckler, Gunslinger

APG: Magus, Warpriest, Witch

ACG: Arcanist, Skald, Slayer

Prestige classes must be gained through roleplay, not simply 'levelled up' to. Prestige classes cannot be taken before 6th level.

Nope.

Magic items which require a caster level higher than 3rd are not commonly available anywhere (using the 75% chance rule).
