Starting new game soon. in need of some help

[Nosta]

So The game i was in add an abrupt ending today and i am next in line to run a game with my group

I am planning on doing a pathfinder game as my group as basically dumped 3.5 in flavor of pathfinder.

I am also thinking of make it a gestalt game and starting at a lower level (about lV3)

I am allowing some third party but no path of war, we use to much POW/TOB Recently

I am looking for interesting rules such as the stamina rules i once heard of

It will be a Mid-Arcane/low Divine magic game. Mid to high power Game

I am working on a original story for the game and it will be a sandbox type

besides alternative rules i want basic rule ideas for character building

what i should set the point buy to and what third party would be good


I plan to have a lot of dungeon crawls and an over arcing plot. the game will be broken in to chapters

Use the basic rules as they are for once.

I suggest you ask your players instead of us. They can decide for themselves which additional rules are fun and which rules aren't. We don't know their preference, because we're not them.

And as for Florian's suggestion. Sometimes it's a nice challenge to just use the core rulebook and the bestiary instead of all the extra stuff.
