Spoiler

Cold fog rolls in at night, same as any night. Warm sea water from the south mixes with the cold air flowing from the north. Usually a signal to pack the merchant booth and go home.

Tonight seemed different, like bone cold different. People looked afraid; packing hurriedly to get home or their rooms at the Inns. The next morning, People were slow to get their wares displayed, The fog still lingering so. Bad news travels fast, the saying goes, this being no exception: four bodies were dug up out of the town graveyard and the priest in charge of the temple next to it was found attacked and near death!

The mayor has called for help! What brave souls will come to the town's aid!?

Draft

Still need to put in some background and detail stuff as well as select spells.

Rogue
Armor/Weapons: All Simple Weapons, hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow and short sword. Light armor.
Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
Trapfinding: A rogue adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Feats
Arcane Armor Training: Reduce Spell failure by 10%
Improved Initiative (Level 1): +4 Initiative
Weapon Finesse: Use Dex adjustment rather than Str. To attack with light weapons.
Traits
Warrior of Old (Race): As a child, you put in long hours in combat drills, and though time has made this training a dim memory, you still have a knack for quickly responding to trouble.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.
Magical Knack (Magic): You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks.
Benefit: Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t increase your caster level higher than your current Hit Dice.

Whatever I said about a character for the new game, I'd really just as soon ise the idea of Darthan from the game that never got off the ground.

[MENTION=49929]Scott DeWar[/MENTION] Would you consider allowing Magus into the possible character selections? I've been wanting to try one.

If not, I'd like to know a little more about the setting before I choose a character.

Also, have any other interested parties chimed in regarding character ideas?

magus. hrmm. tell me more why.

setting wise I am thinking of a small harbor town

level wise, start at 3?

not yet. I gave the 2 week chime in because of the holidays, so the start will be slow. I also suspect a loss of up to three people from the list.

Small Harbor town, eh? That helps a lot.

Magus was a neat idea because of being able to briefly enchant a weapon along with being a mage which I thought suited a Dwarf Wizard to a t. But I think I'm starting to gravitiate towards Halfling Sorcerer. Now that I know it's a harbor town, I may theme him in a nautical manner.
