Party Creation

As per Discord #rules-announce:

Starting a Party

Starting XP: 6,000 First character at 1st level costs 0 XP. 2nd through 4th characters costs 500 XP each for 1st level. 5th character costs 2000 XP for 1st level.

With the starting pool, you can generate the following sample parties, for example:

1 character: 4th, 0 XP leftover 2 characters: 3rd, 2nd, 1500 XP leftover 3 characters: 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 0 XP leftover 4 characters: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 500 XP leftover 5 characters: 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 0 XP leftover

Additional characters can be added later, out of whatever XP pool the player has available.

Starting gold is always 5400gp (WBL for one 4th level character) for the entire party starting wealth. No more than 50% of it on any one item.

Stat Generation

Base Roll: 4d6, drop lowest, arranged as player wishes. May reroll a stat for 100 XP each reroll, choose which result to use. May pay 100 XP per stat or 500 XP per character to reroll 1s, declared before rolling.

Level Adjustment

Parties are permitted to have up to two characters, each of a race with up to +2 LA, without taking the penalty of that adjustment (treat as if the LA did not exist, as if it had been bought off). Racial Hit Dice are not permitted, however. If a player wishes to use a race that possesses RHD, the DM may choose to modify it to remove the RHD and allow a player to use it. All races (including races that qualify by possessing only LA +1 or +2) remain subject to DM approval.

Skills

• Hide and Move Silently are combined into Stealth. If a class has either Hide or Move Silently as a class skill, then Stealth is also a class skill.
• Listen and Spot are combined into Perception. If a class has either Listen or Spot as a class skill, then Perception is also a class skill.
