I have long lamented the lack of a Character Builder-like tool for Pathfinder. D&D character creation is greatly aided by this on-line tool that combines the contents of all of the character generation content from every book and magazine WotC has published. Until recently, there was no such alternative for Pathfinder. Most of us scraped by with a very good spreadsheet, but suffered with the limitations of that media, especially the need to transfer the character to a blank new version any time we wanted to take advantage of an update to the character sheet. Some of us just did the work by hand.
Recently, Mel turned me on to a PC based character generation tool called Hero Lab. It's $50 for the tool, one game content license (Pathfinder in this case), and the content from both optional books. Licenses for Call of Cthulhu and other games are also available, and there is a way to download the Compendium and Character Builder data into the tool so it can be used for 4th Edition as well. I haven't tried that last process yet.
Evenmere is a low level Pathfinder Campaign, named for the ancient castle in which the story begins. The characters have just "wakened" from an extended nightmare of death and misery to find their formerly glorious home mostly abandoned, seemingly for decades at least. The wilds outside are overgrown and there is no evidence of visitation from what should be a populated surrounding countryside. Those alive in the castle are disoriented, with only fragmented memories of their former lives and what seems to have been an unpleasant afterlife before waking here.
These modified spell casting rules are intended to apply to Stephen and Michael J.'s Pathfinder campaigns.
