About the adventure
Do you have what it takes to win the Ruby Phoenix tournament?! First you have to qualify! β‘ High Level Play begins at level 11! π₯ Engage in an exciting and over the top Martial Arts Tournament π« Explore the mysterious despair island, as you challenge rivals, claim treasure and cleanse ancient sites of power. π₯Open to all players, however someone completely unfamiliar with Pathfinder 2E may find begining at level 11 to be very overwhelming! The time has come again for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament! The sorcerer Hao Jin has invited only the strongest martial artists, adventurers, and fortune seekers to her world-famous fighting competition. The motley roster of contenders must compete for this decade's champion title and the choice of one of the Ruby Phoenix's grand treasures. Who will come out on top, and who will be left in the dust? There's only one way to find out! This adventure will take a group of adventurers through Levels 11-20 as you qualify and then compete within the prestigious and famous Ruby Phoenix Tournament. π₯HOUSE RULES π« Hero Points Re-rolls: A Re-roll with a Hero point cannot roll under a natural 10. π« Hero Point Refresh: You keep your Hero Points between sessions, if you have none at the begining of a session, you start with 1 as normal. π« Heightening Lores You may either learn a new Lore or Increase its rank at every odd level starting at 3. π« Level Based Aid: Aid will scale by level and will be equivalent to an EASY DC of your current level.

How will character creation work
Characters will be built/finalized during the session 0, though you may come with concepts or already built characters in mind! I strongly suggest building your character in pathbuilder first even during the session 0 because while foundry/forge is very nice with the easy drag and drop character building it offers no guidance or limitations when doing so. If you need any help feel free to message me on discord leading up to the game! β Starting Level 11 β Variant Attribute Boosts: Allowed β Ancestry: All Allowed β Heritage: All Allowed β Classes: All Allowed β Backgrounds: Most Allowed (Ask about Rares) π₯ The Backgrounds in the Player's Guide are made to specifically help you in the campaign, so give them a look as you decide, but you don't NEED to choose from them if you prefer another. β Optional Flaws: Not Allowed β Gradual Ability Boost β Free Archetype π― Refer to the free Ruby Phoenix Player's Guide for suggestions on
