Any information about the setting that we or our characters should know at this point?

EDIT: Considering the nature of some of those involved in this forum, Arshea is a deity in Pathfinder's pantheon that may be of note.

Hmmm, I was thinking given the nature of this game group, I think a standard fantasy world would probably be best. Nothing really out of the "ordinary" (for DnD anyway).

Unless people are wanting to do something else, of course.

@Eiki-mun:
I might suggest getting a shield. If you're using a one-handed weapon like a scimitar, there's no reason not to, and as the party's main healer you'll need a good AC.

Also, a secondary weapon wouldn't hurt. There are certain types of monsters that resist damage from certain types of weapons. Zombies, for example, are resistant to damage from any weapons that aren't slashing, and likewise skeletons (and other skeletal undead) require bludgeoning weapons to overcome their damage reduction. A mace would be a good choice here.

A brief note about attacks: You add your strength bonus to damage rolls made with melee weapons; I don't have a strength bonus so it wasn't mentioned on my description. Your scimitar damage should be 1d6+1.

Good character concept, and one that could do well as the party's leader.

EDIT: Yes a standard fantasy setting is fine with me.

Ooh, good idea. I assume that since some of my abilities rely on touch, a Light shield would be the better choice in that situation, yeah? That way I don't have to constantly put my sword away and back, I can just use my shield hand for touching. As for the mace, that should be simple enough to add, and I've definitely got the spare gold for it. On the scimitar, that was just a typo, but thanks for pointing it out! I'll have those added in just a couple of minutes.

And thanks for the compliment!  :D

EDIT: A question for Mechtaur, though. Since the Holy Text costs 10 GP, I'm wondering if I might be able to get Sarenrae's holy text for free considering my backstory. If not, I totally understand and I'll gladly fork over 10 gold for it, but it feels odd to have to pay for the text when my character is a church official.

There is no plague more evil and vile to watch spread than the plague that is the Von Habsburg dynasty.

You're free to take it, provided some in game flavor points out it is a holy text for that religion only.

I'll make sure to mention it in the inventory as The Book of Light and Truth. Thank you very much.

A buckler would even let you throw ranged weapons from your off-hand while giving you the same AC bonus as a light shield.

Wait, am I supposed to be having ranged weapons? I didn't even think about something like that.

You don't really need one, but it would be helpful if you run out of spells. Ranged weapons would also include things like flasks of holy water or alchemist's fire.

However, there are plenty of people in the party who have ranged weapons or damaging spells that you probably don't have to worry about it.

I was also thinking about how our characters could have met prior to the campaign, in order to avoid getting too much into the "You all meet in a tavern" cliché. Your character, traveling by himself over a fairly large area, could use some companions who will provide protection while not giving away his identity. My character wants to take in as much of the outside world as possible and wouldn't recognize him or have any reason to give him away, and as someone from a distant tribe would also be seen as a potential convert.

I do tend to be rather... mercenary at times.  I could see it.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I'm certainly not opposed to the idea myself, haha. Plus I like the idea of being the party leader, though I might need a bit of advice if I fuck something up at some point  :D
