| + | |
| − | ---------------
| + | |
| | | | |
| | ==Basic Instructions== | | ==Basic Instructions== |
| | | | |
| − | 1. Decide on a concept for your character. This includes designating your class, race, etc. Send this to your DM for approval. (You should have received his email address with your welcome message. He should also have contacted you. Also you should have received our current address list with your batch of information.) Your DM will approve, disapprove, or begin a discussion with you concerning your concept until you come to an agreement we can both be happy with.
| + | Upon joining the Wold, the Powers That Be (PTB) will have ensured you have contact with your DM, access to the Woldian Address List, and access and posting permissions. It is time to create your hero! |
| | | | |
| − | 2. Use the standard method (roll 4d6 six times, ignoring the lowest dice, totaling the other three, and assigning them to an ability score) from the PHB3 to roll your ability scores. Once the Woldian Webmaster sends you your ID and password, go to the Games Page and then to the Loot & Booty Board. Enter that board, log on and make a post saying that you are rolling your ability scores. Say hi to everyone while you're doing this. ;) The dice buttons are pretty self explanatory.
| + | 1. Getting Started. Use the 25 point buy method listed in the Pathfinder Core Rules to assign your stats and set up a Character Concept. All ability scores will be role-played, from the low 8s and 9s to the high 18s and above. '''The player must mention on the character sheet that a DM has approved a low score for play, and must also note in the character background portion of the sheet just how the character will account for the low score in actual play'''. That background should also include character concept, class, race, and personality -- what makes your hero more than a bunch of numbers? What makes your hero alive? [[What class should I pick]]? |
| | | | |
| − | 3. Next, send your DM an email noting these things: a) the arrangement of your ability scores and b) any changes you wish to make to your character concept. Your DM will look at these things and send you an email in response.
| + | 2. Fleshing Out and Approvals. Send your DM an email with your hero’s ability scores and character concept. Your DM will approve, disapprove, or begin a discussion with you concerning your concept until you come to an agreement that matches your wants and the game board. During this time, complete your hero using Pathfinder Core Rules and Woldian House Rules to include equipment and other abilities. Note the cost for any item or organization on the Character Sheet for DM approval. Certain classes, dieties, and abilities require PTB approval prior to play. Work with your DM for assistance. |
| | | | |
| − | 4. You may then flesh out your character, using D&D 3.5 Rules, following the example form below as precisely as possible, as it applies to your character. You can buy PHB 3.5 stuff on your own. Your DM can approve it on your sheet, but do list the costs on your character sheet at least the first time so that your DM does not have to look up your PHB3.5 supplies and do the math. It is evil to make people do math. For any magic items you wish to buy at the start from the DMG3.5, you must shop on the Catacombs Message Board near the top of the Games Page.
| + | 3. Starting Above 1st Level. If you are starting at higher than 1st level, you will receive a starting XP total and GP total from your DM. Woldian Games uses the medium XP track. Complete your hero using Pathfinder Core Rules and Woldian House Rules to include equipment, magic items, and other abilities. Note the cost for any item or organization on the Character Sheet for DM approval. If you choose item creation feats, please consult your DM for crafting rules before play starts. |
| | | | |
| − | 5. At the bottom of the character sheet, write a BACKGROUND LEGEND for your character. This will appear online for everyone to read so write it as you wish for it to appear. See the section entitled Adventurer's Repose below for more details on how to lay this section out and what details to include. Send this sheet in to your DM and you're ready to play. Your DM may ask for some changes, when she or he scrutinizes the character, but that can come after you begin to play. After the character sheet if officially approved, send your background to the webmaster. Your DM can give you his email address.
| + | Note that after your character is in play, further magic item purchases are done through the Catacombs Message Board. (See the Catacombs policy.) |
| | | | |
| − | ==Detailed Instructions==
| + | 4. Uploading to Googledocs. Once your hero is ready you'll need to upload it onto GoogleDocs and email your DM with the document URL. Then, either you, your DM or some other kind soul can add a link to it from your game's Woldipedia page. |
| | | | |
| − | -- The Taur (centaur, minotaur, liontaur (wemic) races have been approved. These are available only on a case by case basis and must be approved by both the Campaign DM (Jerry), and your game DM. We do not use subraces, except as a role-playing device. All members of a race receive abilities etc. as described in the PHB.
| + | 5. Your DM may ask for some changes, when she or he scrutinizes the character, but that can come after you begin to play. The DM needs editing rights for the PC sheet on googledocs so he can add a sentence at the bottom of the sheet stating that it has been approved for the current level. Something like: “Rob’s 13th level PC, Vegemite, has been approved for play.” A new approval statement should replace the old one when a level is earned. There needs to be proof that the DM has approved what is on the sheet. After that point, the DM must be notified if the character sheet is changed in any permanent way. |
| | | | |
| − | -- All characters, including monster classes, begin at 1st level unless the DM states otherwise. (There are special "House Rules" for monster classes so that they are not more powerful than the other races.)
| + | Here are approved formats for Woldian Character Sheets. Please follow the forms as precisely as possible as it applies to your character. |
| | | | |
| − | -- The following weapons do not exist for use in the Wold: kama, katana,
| + | ==Detailed Instructions== |
| − | nunchaku, sai, shuriken, and siangham. Monks in the Wold are proficient with the following weapons: club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kukri, quarterstaff, sickle, and sling. Monks may use the following weapons when making melee flurry of blows attacks (not ranged attacks): dagger, handaxe, kukri, quarterstaff, yand sickle.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | -- 1st level characters receive maximum starting money. Characters beyond that are given a starting amount of gold from the Game DM.
| + | * ''Classes'': There are a few [[Classes#Woldian_Classes|Class options]] available in addition to the standard classes in the Core Pathfinder rules. These are available for play subject to your DM's approval. There are also a great many [[Classes#Woldian_Prestige_Classes|Woldian Prestige Classes]] for higher level play. Note that most [[Classes#DMG_PrCs|DMG Prestige Classes]] are available for play, with a few exceptions and modifications. |
| | | | |
| − | -- All characters begin with 1 Hero Point. See your 3.5 Online Combat Guidelines Document for more details on Hero Points.
| + | * ''[[Overview_of_Woldian_Spirituality#Clerics_in_the_Wold|Clerics in the Wold]]:'' Priests must worship one or more Woldian Gods or Immortal Powers. Only the [[Spirituality#The_Gods_of_the_Wold|Gods of Wold]] are available for worship without permission. If you want to worship one of the [[Spirituality#The_Gods_of_Testing|Gods of Testing]] or an [[Spirituality#Immortal_Powers|Immortal Power]] you must have special permission from the Campaign DM (Jerry). |
| | | | |
| − | -- 1st level characters receive maximum hit points. When rolling for levels after the first, you may re-roll all 1's. Hero points may be used to re-roll hit points, but only at the time of the initial achieving of the level, not weeks later. See your 3E Combat Guidelines Document for more details on Hero Points.
| + | * ''Races'': Surface Drow and the Taur (centaur, minotaur, liontaur) races have been approved in addition to the standard Core races. These are generally available without restriction, but check with your DM to see if they are allowed in a particular game. We do not use subraces, except as a role-playing device. All members of a race receive traits etc. as described in the PF Core Rules. [[Races|Full details of Woldian races can be found here]]. |
| | | | |
| − | -- All characters must be original to The Wold. They cannot have been used at some other time or in some other campaign.
| + | * ''[[Rules:House_Rules#GOOD_ALIGNMENT_FOR_PCS|Alignment]]'': All characters must be good in alignment. Note that Woldian druids may be lawful good and chaotic good. For further information on what Woldiangames.com considers "good" please refer to the House Rules here: [[Rules:House_Rules#GOOD_ALIGNMENT_FOR_PCS|House Rules: Good Alignment for PCs]] |
| | | | |
| − | -- Priests must worship one or more Woldian Gods. Only the Gods of Wold are available for worship without permission. If you want to worship one of the Gods of Testing you must have special permission from the Campaign DM. These are listed on the website at www.woldiangames.com/cathedral
| + | * ''Level:'' All characters, including taur races, begin at 1st level unless the DM states otherwise. (There are special "House Rules" for playing drow and taurs (and a very few other "monsters") with no level adjustment so that they are not more powerful than the other races.) |
| | | | |
| − | -- All characters must be good in alignment unless special permission is granted by the Campaign DM (Jerry.)
| + | * ''Money'': 1st level characters receive maximum starting money. Characters starting beyond that are given an amount of gold from the Game DM. |
| | | | |
| − | -- Please consult the latest version of the other online documents often for other rules that can affect your character once it is in play. It is up to you to take advantage of what is there at http://www.woldiangames.com/constabulary/
| + | * ''Hero Points'': All characters begin with 1 Hero Point. See the [[Rules:House_Rules#HERO_POINTS|House Rules]] for more details on Hero Points. We also want to mention that we usually give folks half rounded down of max hero points, up to three, when starting a character that is not 1st level. |
| | | | |
| − | -- As your character advances, please list his or her "hit points trail": i.e. the number of hit points rolled at each level. Otherwise your character will lose the maximum possible if hit by level draining creatures or devices.
| + | * ''Hit Points'': 1st level characters receive maximum hit points. When rolling for levels after the first, you may re-roll all 1's. Hero points may NOT be used to re-roll hit points. See the [[Rules:Combat_Rules#Hero_Points|Combat Guidelines]] for more details on Hero Points. |
| | | | |
| − | -- Starting characters whether 1st level or higher, must use only the 3.5 Players Handbook. Alternate sources for characters may NOT be used with Woldian characters. You may visit the Oshirr House section of the website for original Woldian material which you may use with your character. After your character is created, you may visit the Black Genie Center Message Board and work with fellow players to develop original material for your character and others.
| + | * ''Unique to the Wold'': All characters must be original to The Wold. They cannot have been used at some other time or in some other campaign. |
| | | | |
| − | -- The following DMG Prestige Classes are approved for Woldian play:

| + | * ''Equipment'': All character sheets must show the price paid for each item the PC owns, or has borrowed from another PC, or that is carried as a “Party Item” by that character. The TOTAL WEALTH of the PC must be listed so that the DM knows the PC is in compliance with our WBL [Wealth By Level] requirement |
| | | | |
| − | For a full list of Woldian Classes, Prestige Classes and Organizations see Oshirr House (http://www.woldiangames.com/oshirr/index.htm).
| + | * ''Pathfinder Core Rules'': Starting characters, whether 1st level or higher, must use only the Pathfinder Core Rules and Woldian resources. Alternate sources for characters may NOT be used with Woldian characters. There is only one exception: You may apply to the Campaign DM for permission to use rules from the Advanced Players Guide. Traits and base classes are never allowed. Other rules might possibly be allowed if they are not more powerful than corresponding Core options and if they fit your character concept. After your character is created, you may visit the [http://www.woldiangames.com/games/index.html?game=genie Black Genie Center Message Board] and work with fellow players to develop original material for your character and others. There are a [[Rules:_Black_Genie_Centre|number of guidelines]] for developing new Woldian content. |
| | | | |
| | + | * ''Leadership Feat'': The Leadership Feat requires Campaign DM approval for use. Ask your DM for help if you wish to choose this Feat. |

| | | | |
| − | Here is an example 3rd Edition Character and Sheet. When you detail your character, please follow this form as closely as possible. No character sheet is perfect. Neither is this one, but it is formed correctly enough for your kindly DMs to follow. It is helpful for all sheets to be of the same format when you deal with 70+ players as we do. We kept it very generic since our players have differing programs available for word processing. Please ask if there is a notation you do not understand as we are always trying to make this document more exact and helpful. | + | Here is a link to [https://docs.google.com/document/d/11o5Q9nw0WWviMKUnGzvRUvbJyejrRAj84Nb4yaHRByo/edit?usp=sharing a GoogleDoc Template of the official blank PC sheet]. You can make a copy of this from GoogleDocs and edit your copy, or download it for your own use, and re-upload it to share with others. (Some players prefer a Google Spreadsheet format.) |
| | | | |
| − | Also of importance is the format of the character description at the end. You will need to follow this format when submitting your details to the Adventurer's Repose.
| + | No character sheet is perfect. Neither is this one, but it is formed correctly enough for your kindly DMs to follow. It is helpful for all sheets to be of the same format when you deal with 70+ players as we do. Please note if you do wish to include a character sketch it must not be a copywrited image. |

| + | Here is an [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZrlPMOKlyQ_MjyBOFLnqydJPXQ_8iwkmAuQyG_Beap8/edit?usp=sharing example Pathfinder Character Sheet] that has been filled out and customized. |
| | | | |
| | + | At the bottom of your sheet make sure you note details of your character's appearance, personality, and history. Here are some guidelines on how to complete these sections. |
| | | | |
| | + | * '''Appearance''' |
| | | | |
| − | Lemberno (Kent Lewis)
| + | This section is the key to how other players will see your character, so please try to make it as complete as possible. Essential things to include here are features, build, skin color, clothing, armor, weapons, key equipment, and overall appearance. You might want to include how your character moves ("clumsy as an ox", or "She moves with a grace and elegance that belies her 22 stone frame"), if they have any distinguishing features (scars, tattoos, body piercings, missing limbs etc), and anything else you think will help other players conjure an instant mental image of your character. Please complete this section in prose rather than points. An example of how it might read can be found on the sample page. |

Try to write something that you will be happy to leave as your character's back story for the foreseeable future. |

| + | |
| − | "Next we have Ingrge Nightseer. For you Roscoe has a staff. Apparently it is a good fighting staff (+3), but it also can protect you while it is in your hand (+3 ac, resistance and deflection). Roscoe is also certain that it has other magical properties as well, but you will have to discover those over time." Roscoe stands up and whispers something to Mycroft. "Oh, he tells me that he has discovered one of its powers. It will cast the spell "color spray" when you hold it and say shade-in-hue.
| + | |
| − | Ingrge later spent quite a bit of cash to find out more about his staff and was told that it could actually learn spells taught to it and then could cast those spells twice per day. The staff can learn up to ten spell levels of spells, in varying combinations as long as the total does not exceed ten levels and as long as the spells are not higher than 4th level. Once a spell is learned it cannot be replaced until the ownership of the staff changes. Spells are cast at a caster level of 12.

| − | Appearance
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ingrge is a fairly typical looking wood elf with fair skin and light emerald eyes. He is very stoutly built and yet he moves with a grace that belies his bulkiness. He is normally found dressed in gray colors that have a tint of green in them. From a distance he has all the fairness of appearance typical of the elven folk, but when approached one sees the facial scars left by some past horrific wounds that did not heal well.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He wears leather armor of the same color and a gray-green hooded cloak over it all. At most times, a bandolier of daggers peeks out from the opening of his cloak and the pommel of a rapier is at his waist. At his back is hung a bow and quiver of arrows. Always at hand and most often in hand is a beautifully crafted ironwood staff etched with a quicksilver inlay and capped with a mithril foot and topped by a mithril fist.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Personality | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Due to his early childhood traumas, Ingrge is very reserved when dealing with those he considers friends, though he is extremely faithful and protective of those he now considers his family. Normally as dour as many a dwarf, Ingrge is a grumpy pessimist, given to fits of brooding and mild depression. Due to his early years he has never learned to be very comfortable around the same group of people for any length of time, and has a difficult time forming attachments of any length of time. At the same time he is soft-spoken and extremely gentle with children of all kinds and will put himself in danger to protect any child.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Intrigued from an early age about the whys and how of everything, he puts forth extreme efforts to learn all he can about as many things as possible which oft times leads to his not making very wise choices, but did lead him into his study of magic, which he is exceptionally talented at.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | History
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I am told that I must write a history about myself, so that people might come to know me. In truth there is little to tell that would be of much interest to anyone. My life has been pretty boring, but I will make the attempt.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I guess my story should start back as far as I can remember, so I will start it from the day I was found. Yes, I said found, for I truly remember nothing before that except for vague memories of my mother and a small village. I was found at the very young age of 8, which is extremely young for a woods elf, along side my dead parents, by a group of Folbre's tavern maidens as they were coming south to aid in the running of his inn, in the Tree of Parting. I don't remember anything about my parent's death or even what might have caused their deaths. The maidens brought me to the Inn, where, Folbre made the decision to take me in. I was always very quick-witted, very nimble. And while trying to be helpful around the inn, I tended to be underfoot a lot. You would think that being exposed to the excitement of a famous inn would be a never ending source of entertainment for a growing boy, no matter what race, but I tended to be a loner and some what morose. Many children tried to befriend me, but none wanted to be around someone who did not want to play. As I grew, I became more withdrawn and sullen and what friends I had managed to acquire over the years wanted little to do with me. Finally after living for 30 years at the Inn, Folbre decided that they were not going to be able to care for me any longer. Having made this decision they sent me northward to an enclave of elves, in the Culver wood, for integration into elven society.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Back in the North and surrounded, totally, by my own kind (sort of), I went about the daily grind of becoming a functional and beneficial part of elven society. This, for me, was not an easy thing to accomplish. There were still times where I was extremely morose and the elves just didn't understand how this could be. I did, however, manage to make a few lasting friends and like all youths we got into normal troubles and scrapes. But, I must admit that, more often than not I was the instigator of these events. It seemed as though I was always looking for trouble. And usually I could find it. As I grew in to adulthood it was obvious to all that my talents lay in both the arcane arts as well as the martial ones. After many years of studying magic and weapons, and several forays against highway men and such, for which I gladly volunteered for, I was chafing to do something new ... anything as long as it was away from there. So in my 75th year, when my instructors allowed that I was ready, I packed up my few belongings and headed back south to the only place I ever really considered his home. I headed back to the Tree of Parting and Folbre's Inn.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Of course, like the best, laid plans of mice and men, I was unavoidably delayed in my arrival at "The Tree." As I was making my way southward towards "The Tree," and traveling through the Emerald Kingdom, I came across a liveried individual beset upon by three poorly armed bandits. While holding his own against two of them, I could see that he was about to have a turn for the worse as the third bandit was cranking up a crossbow. So being the cranky individual that I am, and being one who is always looking for a fight, I quickly strung my bow, notched an arrow and fired, all in the time that he was cocking the crossbow. Having always being outstanding with the longbow, my arrow took him square in the throat. As he gasped and fell, the messenger, bleeding from several wounds, thrust his sword through one of his opponents. The third, realizing he was now out numbered, fled. As I approached the messenger, he fell to his knees and died. Not knowing what else to do, I quickly went through his things finding that all he was carrying was a note of some import from someone calling himself Parnoth of Emerald City. I buried the messenger where he fell and set about returning the message to this Parnoth individual, so that the message could then be sent to the proper recipient. Gods! If only I had known then what I know now, things would have been different. Upon arrival at the city, I located a gate guard and pulled out the letter, so as to gain entry, in order to return it to the writer. Almost immediately upon viewing the letter I was surrounded by several guards and hustled off to the palace and placed in a room with several other individuals and told to wait ... Sometimes I wonder how things might have turned out had I not intervened in the messengers struggle.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Since that day things have gotten more than a bit interesting. I have become a member of an adventuring group now known as the Talons. They may be the first group of true friends, no make that family that I have known.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Anyway, back to my story. We met with the Ruler of the Emerald Kingdom, The Green dragon known as Parnoth, where we agreed, with little other option, to perform a "favor" for Parnoth. We were to search for two groups within the borders of The Emerald Kingdom without his blessing: The first, a religious group known as the Hands of Love and the second, a couple of travelers who go by the names of Grey and Joe.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Parnoth gave us the ability to awaken a powerful beast to aid us in this quest if needed or necessary. Of course, things are never so simple. An underground group who oppose Parnoth, known as "The Tines," recruited us as well. The Tines wanted us to find The Hands of Love before they caught up with Joe and Grey, whom The Tines claim to be heroes and great enemies of Parnoth The Green. We went by river-barge to the easternmost edge of the Emerald Kingdom and a place simply known as "The Tree of Parting," hoping to arrive before The Hands of Love. They however had laid an ambush along the river so the battle was joined. Eventually we found Joe and Grey and just as we did, the Hands of Love attacked yet again. Eventually we won the day and we all got to see Joe meet with his dead wife Claudia (but that is an entirely different story). We also managed to get ourselves exiled from our own land, and under a penalty of death. We all went to Plateau City, met and dined with the Gold Dragons.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | However, all good things come to an end, and we were informed of a horrid disease that was afflicting the elves of the Emerald Kingdom. A vaccine was found, but there was a catch. They needed someone to deliver it. Of course we volunteered to go back and save our people. We delivered the vaccine and then the Tines found us once again. They needed someone to break into Parnoth's High security prison and breakout an important member of the Tines that was being held prisoner there. This of course led to us being imprisoned again by Parnoth after we rescued his other prisoner. It seemed like every time we turned around, there was Parnoth wanting us to do another small favor for him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This time there was some problem with one of his dwarven mines. Of course, we were to go and fix whatever the problem was. When we got there we found that some wizard had cooked up some magically enhanced beetles that were killing the dwarves and slowing down the mining. The bonus was that these beetles were also producing a special metal that the dwarves used to forge a sword. We also met and lost members of our party here. We added Bertram to our family as we lost Dakar to some madness.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Since then much else has happened. Domi is dead and we are once again doing something for Parnoth. It seems there is a new God in town named Marteus and we are to infiltrate his temple and rescue several prisoners from there. It is very likely that Parnoth will be the death of us but I guess we will have to wait and see.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Well that is just about everything that hasn't already been recorded by the scribes for the archives. I hope I haven't bored you all to death but then again I warned you.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Once your character sheet has been approved by your DM, you will need to send your character description to the Adventurer's Repose. You can either send these details directly to Carl White, or to your DM who will forward the information on to him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Please follow the format outlined below when creating the details for your character sheet (Appearance, Personality and History) and Adventurer's Repose entry (Character, player, campaign details etc, and Appearance, Personality and History)..
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Character: Obvious, really. Your character's full name, as well as commonly used nickname(s).
| + | |
| − | Player: This is your full name. No email addresses please.
| + | |
| − | Campaign: Just the campaign name.

| − | Age:

| − | Weight: And weight in pounds.
| + | |
| − | Hair: Include color, cut, facial hair etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Appearance
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This section is the key to how other players will see your character, so please try to make it as complete as possible. Essential things to include here are features, build, skin color, clothing, armor, weapons, key equipment, and overall appearance. You might want to include how your character moves ("clumsy as an ox", or "She moves with a grace and elegance that belies her 22 stone frame"), if they have any distinguishing features (scars, tattoos, body piercings, missing limbs etc), and anything else you think will help other players conjure an instant mental image of your character. Please complete this section in prose rather than points. An example of how it might read can be found on the sample page (link below).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Personality
| + | |
| | | | |
| | Here you need to cover such intangibles as Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, but try to do so in a manner that doesn't simply read "He is clever, not very wise, and of average charisma". How does your character relate to others? Are they reserved, chatty, an optimist, pessimist, a practical joker, a dour servant of a grumpy God or a drooling village idiot? What are their beliefs? Their motto? Do they have a particular creed they live by? Does they have pastimes and interests outside of adventuring? What motivates them, makes them angry, or sad, or happy? | | Here you need to cover such intangibles as Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, but try to do so in a manner that doesn't simply read "He is clever, not very wise, and of average charisma".

| + | These are the mandatory sections. You can also add optional sections, for example to give details of an animal companion, or a description of an alias for characters that operate under assumed identities. |
| − | | + | |
| − | Your character's back story. Detail how they were brought up, key events in their early lives, significant figures (family, friends, foes), how they came to join with their current party, and if applicable a brief summary of their adventures so far with the party. Some will want to really flesh this section out. You can write in the third person, the 1st person, as a tale told by a wandering bard: be informative, but have fun if you wish! Try to write something that you will be happy to leave as your character's back story for the foreseeable future.

Upon joining the Wold, the Powers That Be (PTB) will have ensured you have contact with your DM, access to the Woldian Address List, and access and posting permissions. It is time to create your hero!
1. Getting Started. Use the 25 point buy method listed in the Pathfinder Core Rules to assign your stats and set up a Character Concept. All ability scores will be role-played, from the low 8s and 9s to the high 18s and above. The player must mention on the character sheet that a DM has approved a low score for play, and must also note in the character background portion of the sheet just how the character will account for the low score in actual play. That background should also include character concept, class, race, and personality -- what makes your hero more than a bunch of numbers? What makes your hero alive? What class should I pick?
2. Fleshing Out and Approvals. Send your DM an email with your hero’s ability scores and character concept. Your DM will approve, disapprove, or begin a discussion with you concerning your concept until you come to an agreement that matches your wants and the game board. During this time, complete your hero using Pathfinder Core Rules and Woldian House Rules to include equipment and other abilities. Note the cost for any item or organization on the Character Sheet for DM approval. Certain classes, dieties, and abilities require PTB approval prior to play. Work with your DM for assistance.
3. Starting Above 1st Level. If you are starting at higher than 1st level, you will receive a starting XP total and GP total from your DM. Woldian Games uses the medium XP track. Complete your hero using Pathfinder Core Rules and Woldian House Rules to include equipment, magic items, and other abilities. Note the cost for any item or organization on the Character Sheet for DM approval. If you choose item creation feats, please consult your DM for crafting rules before play starts.
Note that after your character is in play, further magic item purchases are done through the Catacombs Message Board. (See the Catacombs policy.)
4. Uploading to Googledocs. Once your hero is ready you'll need to upload it onto GoogleDocs and email your DM with the document URL. Then, either you, your DM or some other kind soul can add a link to it from your game's Woldipedia page.
5. Your DM may ask for some changes, when she or he scrutinizes the character, but that can come after you begin to play. The DM needs editing rights for the PC sheet on googledocs so he can add a sentence at the bottom of the sheet stating that it has been approved for the current level. Something like: “Rob’s 13th level PC, Vegemite, has been approved for play.” A new approval statement should replace the old one when a level is earned. There needs to be proof that the DM has approved what is on the sheet. After that point, the DM must be notified if the character sheet is changed in any permanent way.
Here are approved formats for Woldian Character Sheets. Please follow the forms as precisely as possible as it applies to your character.
No character sheet is perfect. Neither is this one, but it is formed correctly enough for your kindly DMs to follow. It is helpful for all sheets to be of the same format when you deal with 70+ players as we do. Please note if you do wish to include a character sketch it must not be a copywrited image.
At the bottom of your sheet make sure you note details of your character's appearance, personality, and history. Here are some guidelines on how to complete these sections.
This section is the key to how other players will see your character, so please try to make it as complete as possible. Essential things to include here are features, build, skin color, clothing, armor, weapons, key equipment, and overall appearance. You might want to include how your character moves ("clumsy as an ox", or "She moves with a grace and elegance that belies her 22 stone frame"), if they have any distinguishing features (scars, tattoos, body piercings, missing limbs etc), and anything else you think will help other players conjure an instant mental image of your character. Please complete this section in prose rather than points. An example of how it might read can be found on the sample page.
Your character's back story. Detail how they were brought up, key events in their early lives, significant figures (family, friends, foes), how they came to join with their current party, and if applicable a brief summary of their adventures so far with the party. Some will want to really flesh this section out. You can write in the third person, the 1st person, as a tale told by a wandering bard: be informative, but have fun if you wish! Try to write something that you will be happy to leave as your character's back story for the foreseeable future.
Here you need to cover such intangibles as Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, but try to do so in a manner that doesn't simply read "He is clever, not very wise, and of average charisma". How does your character relate to others? Are they reserved, chatty, an optimist, pessimist, a practical joker, a dour servant of a grumpy God or a drooling village idiot? What are their beliefs? Their motto? Do they have a particular creed they live by? Does they have pastimes and interests outside of adventuring? What motivates them, makes them angry, or sad, or happy?
These are the mandatory sections. You can also add optional sections, for example to give details of an animal companion, or a description of an alias for characters that operate under assumed identities.
2) In the upper right corner, click the blue SHARE button. This should launch a pop-up window.
3) In the pop-up window, find the heading that says "Who has access." Under that is a box. The first item in the box can either say Private, Public, or Anyone With Link.
4) If the box does not say Anyone With Link, click the blue "change" link next to it. This should bring up another pop-up window.
5) Choose "Anyone With Link" and click the green "Save" button. This should take you back to the first pop-up.
6) IMPORTANT!!!!! At the top of this pop-up window is a header that says "link to share" with a URL under it. Use this URL when linking to your document. Do NOT use the URL at the top of your actual document. That is the "edit" URL, which is different from the "view" URL. If you send people to the "edit" URL, they will be denied access.
