Author Topic: I need some quick roleplay advice for Pathfinder!  (Read 529 times)

ok so i'm kind of in a tough spot in my pathfinder session and i don't know what to do. Don't worry if you know nothing about Pathfinder, a very cursory understanding is needed.

The gist of the story is that waaaay before we started our game, I decided that my character was going to be a True Neutral wizard who was secretly a necromancer. I had a cool (at least in my opinion) backstory about how he wanted to disprove the existence of good and evil and prove that necromancy (and other things that require negative energies to use) can be used for good purposes. Essentially that the ends justify the means. A few weeks before we started, however, the gamemaster decided to add one of their internet friends to help them co-gm, which was fine until I learned about their character...

Long story short, I'm a necromancer who has to be friends with a paladin that has a traumatic past involving undead. Killing them is out of character and immoral, especially because the rest of the party would die without him. What would you guys suggest doing? If you need more information, i'll supply it the best i can.

I'd be friends with him bc that sounds like it's headed towards some hot & spicy betrayal drama

i have to be friends with her character

we're literally going to be travelling the world together on boats for god knows how long

and it's possible that because i'm a necromancer, he'll see me as evil or something and try to kill me. not fun.

The question is, how? I'm worried that him seeing me turn a kobold or something into a zombie will lead to
hot & spicy betrayal drama
which is exactly what i want to avoid :K

I don't think it's likely the party will side with me, seeing as though my character is a bit callous and prefers to keep to himself.

Lie. Say you're a magical undertaker or something.
"Oh hey child of darkness what do you do?"
"Well, I used to run a funeral home and used my magic to help with the paperwork."
