Introducing the Pathfinder Game

OK, because I'm a glutton for punishment, or I just enjoy these sorts of games, I've joined a second game. It meets every other Tuesday at this point. This game is in a homebrew world based off the Pathfinder system. It's different from 5e D&D, bit more complex, and based off of 3.5 D&D. And as such I don't know it as well but that's OK you don't necessarily need to know the game rules to play a game. You just need to know what your character will do in any situation. Or make a good guess at it anyway! The concepts are still the same, you have humans and elves and dwarves and fighters and wizards and cleric etc.
So this party is literally the party of misfit toys. In this particular homebrew world, magic is not always welcomed, nor are the more "unnatural" races, nor are mixed races. The entire party is something unusual, hence the party of misfit toys.
Same policy applies here, I won't name the individual players so I don't inadvertently violate someone's personal social media policy.
So let's meet the characters!
Fizzledorp, Paladin. And I can't say this next line without chuckling. He's a gnome. A 3' tall gnome in shining Paladin armor worshiping a obscure dragon deity. He tries to be diplomatic but we can't help but chuckling at him. Oh, and he's the "normal" in the group, gnomes are accepted as odd but respectable.
Lutor, Cleric. He's an Asterion. Not entirely sure what to think of this one. Asterion are bipedal humanoid ... cows? Hooves as feet but human hands, some have tails and cow horns.
Malek, Sorcerer. He's a Tiefling. Don't think I have to explain why a being with infernal blood isn't accepted in polite society typically.
Meghan, Druid. She is a young half-drow elf. She is absolute TN so she's as likely to kill you as to heal you. She's considered a misfit because she's mixed -- human and elf -- and from one of the "evil" races (drow elves are considered inherently evil).
Thonk, "Mage". He is a big, beefy, half-orc barbarian who is under the delusion he's a mage. No. Seriously. "Thonk is fist mage!". Orcs aren't generally welcome in polite society either.
Vohn, Gunslinger. He's a kobold. Yeah, don't know what to do with that one, the little fellow thinks he's a dragon.
Again a lot of these stories will wind up being from my character's standpoint, and that is Meghan the half-drow elf Druid.
