Character Creation

Ability Scores: 20 Point Buy

HP: Roll Or Take Average. (Must decide before you Roll)

Races: Races present within Ravnica [Link], Not all races in ravnica translate cleanly into Pathfinder races, if something Is similar but under a different name, reflavoring is fine, so long as I am informed. 15 RP is the soft limit, but if something is a bit higher its okay as long as its for flavor reasons, Simic hybrids wont be accepted above 15 RP, the negative traits are there for a reason.

Traits: Players start with 2 traits, 1 of which must be one of the campaign traits detailed below. Players make take 1 flaw to take 1 extra trait.

Classes: While it is perfectly okay to be a purely martial character of the Boros Legion or the Guildless, Mages tend to be a lot more common than in Golarion among the Guilds, so being some degree of the caster is most appropriate for this.

Unchained Classes: Whenever a class has an unchained variant, the player is encouraged to choose the unchained version of said class, it is not mandatory to choose unchained classes, except in the case of unchained summoner.

Deities: Unlike many settings and planes, Ravnica does not have gods to draw upon, normal characters are not required to choose a deity. Divine Casters must choose a force or being that grants them power, be it the Guildpact for Azorious agents, Power and Profit for those within the Syndicate, or Niv-Mizzet himself for the members of the Izzet Leauge.

Skills: Knowledge(Nobility) Is replaced with Knowledge(Guilds), and Knowledge(Religion) is replaced with Knowledge(Guildpact)

Languages: The languages spoken on Ravnica differ from Golarian, a full list can be found here, with Ravi taking the place of Common in any race that grants it, any language you obtain from your race that isn't on this list may be replaced with 1 other language that is on the list.

House Rules
(Will be updated as I make rulings and add rules, players will be notified of any changes)

Feats: Characters will obtain a feat every level

Vigilantes: Vigilantes can choose a single district(or a precinct within that district) as their place of Renown, This does not follow the usual restrictions on population and size (as Ravnica is significantly too population-dense for it to matter) but the general size of the district in relation to others and its importance will be taken into consideration for if an area is allowed.

Allowed Content

1pp: All pathfinder content is allowed, with the exception of the Leadership feat and other similar abilities, they may be granted in specific cases, but dealing with cohorts is quite aggravating.

3pp: Content will be allowed on a case-by-case basis, if it fits in with the Flavour of the world and is mechanically sound, the exception to this is Dreamscarred Press Psionics, which are pre-approved, as I know and enjoy the system. Things that might be defined as "Alternate Rules Systems" or require the campaign to be built around them such as Spheres of Power/Champions/Might are not allowed, as they're more headache than its worth.

3.5e Content: using 1st party 3.5e feats and spells is allowed on a Case-By-Case Basis, but classes and other such content is not, please bring any feats or spells you wish to take to my attention for a quick check over.

Homebrew: Is also allowed on a case-by-case, however, I am much more critical of Homebrew than 3pp, as there is a lot of junk and lack of polish that is somewhat less prevalent in 3pp.
