CRB is a repository of all the creative things that float through my mind about the RPG Pathfinder. Two major features are random character generation and building characters based on the god they worship. Anything that seems like it adds to the creative aspects of the game will pop up from time to time, including location descriptions, adventure ideas and even short stories. CRB won't just be my own creativity, it will open the floor to anyone who has an idea sparked by what I present to you.

Character Exploration Thirteen: The Randomness

four six sided dice on a red background, Random Roll
Male Human

Age: 20
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 185 lbs.

So I hadn’t really done a human yet so here it is. The thing with humans (Half-Elves and Half-Orcs) is you need to choose where you’re stat bonus goes. To that end I have decided that it should go either in the highest or lowest stat. I had two highest so I flipped a coin and the bonus went into Con.
Str 7
Dex 12
Con 18
Int 12
Wis 11
Cha 16

Homeland: Town or Village

Parents: Both of your parents are alive.

Major Childhood Event: [Academy Training] You attended a private academy where you studied a number of skills and gained training in your current profession. Whether you were a brilliant student or a dropout, the university environment was your home for a good portion of your formative years.

Influential Associate: [The Hunter] This person was a lone wolf who nonetheless cautiously allowed you to become a member of her solitary pack. She taught you how to thrive on your own in spite of the many perils and natural dangers of your native environment.

Conflict: [Minor Theft] You stole several small or inexpensive items that belonged to someone else.

Conflict Subject: Artisan.

Conflict Motivation: Religion.

Conflict Resolution: [Denial] You feel little if any regret, and deny the event mostly so others won’t judge you. Few if any know of your part in the conflict, and your constant denials are meant to keep it that way.

Drawback: [Social Acceptance] You want others to accept you, to believe you’re special and worthy of merit. You are self-conscious about your social flaws and breaches of etiquette. Rejection is among your greatest fears. You might go to extraordinary lengths to be accepted by or seek favor from your peers.

The background I wrote for this will be posted Friday at 8am. But what kind of character would you make based on these rolls? What class would you pick? Do you have a background in mind looking at these pieces of information? Share with us and let us see your creative juices flow.

  2. This had been mentioned on on of the Pathfinder FB pages I post on, not sure if it was by you at this point though. I'll take a look at the Occult book at some point, but really it hasn't held any interested me and I haven't even skimmed it. So when Friday's write up comes around I can safely say he won't be a kineticist.

    But I like where you're going with it Daniel, what kind of Kineticist do you think our human will be given his background?
