Pathfinder only, 25 point buy for attributes, no clerics or druids (play an oracle if you want that type of role), average starting gold for your class, 1 level behind the rest of the party (or level 1, whichever is higher).
Players should create a 1-3 paragraph background and post it in the character submittals thread, after which character traits will be assigned by the GM.
