Application Considerations

• All characters must be from Cheliax and start at level 1. Preference will be given to characters who are specifically native to the city of Westcrown itself.
• Background must include the character’s reason(s) for disliking the current government and for being willing to risk likely discovery and death for involvement with a resistance group.
• Social skills and the mechanics supporting them will play an important role in the campaign.
• Players who design characters around the classic game tropes of being heavily armed and armored at all times and who walk tall and proud among the locals may not find this campaign to their liking.
• The majority of the campaign takes place in and around the city of Westcrown.
• As an urban campaign, the law of the jungle most common to fantasy rpg’s does not apply. The rule of law reigns supreme in Cheliax and is enforced with malice. Consequently, many of the challenges faced by PCs will involve hiding and running from those more powerful than they. In other words, don’t assume the challenge rating of every encounter is balanced in favor of the party winning an armed conflict or that enemies are only made and faced while standing within arm’s reach of them.
• Please peruse (or adequately skim) the Council of Thieves Player’s Guide, available as a free pdf from Paizo’s website before fully developing your application. Applications that make use of or reference information from this invaluable resource will be given priority.
• Character sheets are not necessary for applying to play.
• Please include the following details in your application:

Name
Race
Character Class
Social Class (see web link for information of Chelaxian social classes)
Family Background/Connections

You may develop this as you see fit, creating minor NPCs for parents, siblings, mentors, etc., but nothing extraordinary or involving NPCs named in published materials.
