Gameplay details

Content Warning: While Abomination Vaults contains typical Pathfinder action and adventure, it also presents themes of suicide, ableism, body horror, and human experimentation. Before you begin, understand that player consent (including that of the Game Master) is vital to a safe and fun play experience for everyone. Rules will be more focused during session zero where all of us can discuss the levels of realism and horror the group as a whole is happy with. If there is any issues, I will do my best to mitigate or remove any content regarding the issues. Although it's an adventure path I will be creating moments where all players characters will have a session or 2 to shine, and be the 'main character' of the session.

How will character creation work

In order to create a cohesive and balanced party, we will be dedicating our session zero to collaboratively creating characters. This process will allow us to not only consider party composition but also align our character backstories for a richer and more immersive experience. Creating characters as a group has several benefits. It fosters cooperation and ensures that everyone has a say in shaping the party dynamics. By working together, we can create a balanced group that covers a range of abilities and skills, enhancing our chances of success in the challenges that lie ahead. During our session zero, we encourage you to think about the type of character you want to play and their role within the party. Consider their race, class, background, and personality traits. This will help us form a diverse and intriguing group, each contributing their unique strengths to overcome obstacles and engage with the world. To further enhance character customization and versatility, we'll be utilizing the free archetype variant rule. This rule allows you to select an archetype without sacrificing a class feat. Archetypes grant additional abilities and options, providing exciting opportunities to customize your character's playstyle and abilities. Choose an archetype that complements your class and aligns with your character concept, as it will shape your character's progression and offer new avenues for growth. In addition to party composition, we want to ensure that our characters' backstories intertwine and align with the campaign's narrative. Collaborating on character creation allows us to establish connections between our characters and the world they inhabit. During session zero, we'll have the opportunity to discuss our characters' pasts and explore potential ties between them. This shared storytelling experience creates a more immersive world and enhances the emotional investment in the campaign. Remember, character creation is a group endeavor. Feel free to share your ideas, discuss potential connections between characters, and ask questions. We encourage open communication to foster a strong sense of camaraderie within the party. By dedicating session zero to character creation, we set the stage for an engaging and cohesive campaign. Not only will our characters possess unique abilities and skills, but their backstories will also intertwine, creating a web of relationships and motivations that will drive our adventure forward. As the Dungeon Master, I will be available to guide and assist you throughout the character creation process. I am here to answer any questions and ensure that everyone feels included and supported in shaping their characters. Let's embark on this journey together, forging a party that is both diverse and interconnected. Our shared storytelling begins with character creation, and I can't wait to see the vibrant and compelling characters that will grace our Pathfinder 2E campaign!
