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.

Random Roll 96 - The Randomness

This week we return to our regular schedule and the first character of 2018. We rolled half-elf follower of Abadar from a poor background. He is of Kellid stock on his human sized and resides in the fledgling democracy of Andoran. A mid-range dexterity and constitution could mean some kind of ranged combatant. A high charisma opens the door to many social classes. The question as always is what do we create from these building blocks.

Gender:Male
Race:Half-Elf
Human Ethnicity:Kellid
Nationality:Andoran
Age:24
Height:6’ 1”
Weight:155lbs
Alignment:Lawful Neutral

Str: 10
Dex: 14
Con:  14
Int: 10
Wis: 10
Cha: 18

Homeland: Raised in a Human Homeland - City or Metropolis
Parents: Only your mother is alive.
Siblings: You have no siblings.
Circumstance of Birth: [Lower-Class Birth] You were born among peasants or slum denizens. You grew up working the land around a village or manor, practicing a rudimentary trade, or begging in a settlement.
Parent's Profession: Serfs/Peasants
Major Childhood Event: [Bullied] In your early life, you were a victim— easy prey for those stronger or cleverer than yourself. They beat you when they could, using you for their sport. This abuse nursed a powerful flame of vengeance.

Influential Associate:[Well-Connected Friend] In your circle of disparate associates, there was someone everyone knew. This person collected friends like trophies, and she had contacts in every social or professional circle. Through this connection, you continue to meet and associate with a wide variety of people in every walk of life.

Conflict: [Destruction] You destroyed someone else’s property.
Conflict Subject: Humanoid monster.
Conflict Motivation: Love.
Conflict Resolution: [Secret Regret] You regret the conflict, but go to great lengths to keep it secret and try desperately to forget it ever happened. Only you and maybe a select few people know of your involvement in the conflict.
Deity/Religious Philosophy:Abadar

Romantic Relationship(s):Current Lover] You are currently involved in a romantic relationship.
Drawback:[Power] You long for the ability to influence the world around you, whether that’s as small as a village or as large as a plane of reality.

In the comments give us your ideas for how to make this into a fully realized character? What class would this character take up? How did has father die? Which parent was the elf? Who is his current lover? And don’t forget to stay tuned Friday when my background hits the CRB.
