I am more then happy to have ppl learn as we go. The rule set is so large it's impossible not to unless you have a PhD in the rules
As for time frame, I'd like to have updates fairly regularly. About once every three days or so, although with combat I'd update as soon as ppl had said their bit.
OK, so character creation. First is to pick gender. Doesn't really impact anything, so pick away
Second is to pick race.
The races are as follows:
Dwarf
Elf
Gnome
Half-elf
Half-ork
Hafling
And human
Each race has its benefits and drawbacks, except for humans which are perfectly balanced but as a result get no real bonuses.
Details can be found at
Races - Pathfinder_OGCI am also thinking that if you two are the only ones interested in playing, I can create a third character that will act alongside as a companion, to help with the quests. That is if you are still interested
After race comes class.
Classes - Pathfinder_OGCThere are many types of classes, and if you want help in picking one, then just let me know. You can describe how you'd like to play, and I can give advise. If you are just starting out, then the core classes are a great set to pick from as they are very clearly defined in roles and abilities
Those can be easily grouped into a few categories
Your barbarian, fighter, monk and Ranger are all no frills fighters. They can be ranged, melee, or any unarmed.
Wizard, and sorcerer are your full magic options. They are not very strong in combat, unless their magic makes them so.
Then there is the druid, cleric, Bard, and Paladin. They are a mix of combat and magic, with different concentration and mixes.
Then there is the Rouge who deserves his own category. He is simply combat, but also has a bunch of tools with regards to navigating traps, locks, and generally sly and underhanded tasks.
Of course the other classes are also fully available to you, and of you want any more details on a class, just ask.
Also, something that needs to be said, is that I am permitting gunslingers as a class. Some DM really don't like em, other do. I think the early style guns are well balanced and can offer some neat flavor - should anyone want to use them.
