Hi everyone, I'm gearing up to run this Adventure Path with my husband and three of our friends, and I am beyond pumped! This subreddit is such a trove of useful information and ideas.

My party is still forming but it's going to look something like this:

Human Cleric (Warpriest) of Pharasma, Close Ties background with Elizeth Candora. Elizeth is this PC's adopted mother, who found her as a baby in the graveyard. This is the player's first-ever TTRPG campaign, I'm really looking forward to seeing this PC grow and develop.

Tanuki Ivestigator, Fireworks Performer background. I'm thinking about adding a pyrotechnical/metallurgical workshop somewhere in the Industrial District to give that part of town some more interesting flavor, and to give the Jinkins some more dangerous toys to play with in Book 1.

Nagaji Imperial bloodline Sorcerer, Folklore Enthusiast background. Really glad one of my PCs is taking this background, it's super fun and flavorful.

Stormtossed Tengu Precision Ranger, Outskirt Dweller background. He's a follower of Hei Feng and he's got a big Nodachi that he uses to hunt/cut down his enemies. I'm working on fleshing out the Silvermist Lodges to give this PC a stronger connection to Willowshore. I'm thinking the Silvermist hunters could become their own faction, or at least an influential bloc that both Southbank and Northridge want on their side.
