As a fan of tabletop role-playing games, I recently had the opportunity to create a party for the Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords campaign. I wanted to share my experience and the unique characters I came up with.
For those who may not know, I don’t strictly follow the campaign guidelines. Instead, I use them as a starting point and create my own story, allowing the narrative to unfold naturally. I also don’t use dice during combat, opting for a more narrative-driven approach. This approach allows me to focus on the characters and their interactions, making the game feel more immersive and engaging.
My party consists of a diverse group of characters, each with their own unique backgrounds and abilities. There’s Diona, the Draconic Keeper who’s on a quest for revenge against the Jabberwock that destroyed her community. Pavlasio, the Paladin and Commander of the Sandpoint Guards, who’s naive but fearless. Morn Butterfist, the Mystical Tavern-Keeper who’s setting out on one final adventure. Erio Cloverpath, the Arcan Farmer who can control giant vegetables to attack his enemies. Oriel Nightquill, the Animancer and librarian who can speak with objects and convince them to fight for her. Glorilast Lightclock, the Geomancer who’s passionate about the Runelords and can create amethyst-like rock formations to block or crush his enemies. Ylda, the Pure Barbarian who’s seeking allies to avenge her tribe. Nñh, the Netherworld Walker and elven assassin who’s on a mission to bring power to her mysterious master. Thaladrim Ironword, the Undead Warrior King who’s seeking revenge against the Runelords. Tum-Tum, the Pyromancer Healer who’s a red panda from Tian Xia. And lastly, there’s Punny, the fey creature who’s Morne’s pet and loves to lounge around and eat honey.
I’m excited to see how this campaign unfolds and how my characters will interact with each other. If you’re interested in learning more about the Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords campaign or want to share your own experiences, feel free to comment below!
