This is Pazio's adventure arc. It is not settled if this will take place in the World of Greyhawk or Golarion.
Background
See the External Links for the official campaign guide, including campaign-specific traits. The campaign will most likely be run in Greyhawk, in the island chain just south of the main map. The traditional inhabitants of this area is Suel colonists, with a recent influx of people of the Common culture. Olman and Heptmonaland humans make up a colorful native background, along with lizard folk and many and varied unusual species. Undrer-water folk might get mixed up in the action but are not allowed as player characters, at least not initially.
Rules
My current working theory is that this will be played using the Pathfinder RPG. It would be interesting to run it in Action, but I judge that less likely at the moment. The following assumes Pathfinder rules.
- A Pirate's Fate: When a character would ordinarily die, they can choose to suffer a random lasting injury (as described in the Shackles Player's Guide. The option that this gives a bonus of +1 on Diplomacy and Intimidation is in play.
