For the Good of the Village
D&D 3.5

Your village has been the victim of a rash of food theft recently. Tracks indicate the thievery has been done by kobolds. With the village guard too busy protecting the village from other threats, you have been recruited by the village elders to stop the theft of the sustenance necessary to survival in this harsh jungle landscape.

Hey guys! I've got a campaign I'm running in meatspace and I wanted to run it with you guys, simply because I think it's awesome and has a bunch of paths that the meatspace folk didn't take. And I want to see how you guys handle it!

((Note: They adventurers in my campaign haven't made it very far, but since this is PBP you guys probably will take long enough for me do catch up, eheh. Plus this will give me MOAR motivation to do the catching up.))

I plan on taking about 4 of you guys into the game. I'll have a waitlist of. Oh. Two. In case someone feels like they need to drop out or I feel like you need to pick up some fresh blood.

IC Thread here. Also post your waitlist here if you feel like it.

Characters:

• Tryrar - Layla Fortan
• Tawarochir - Drenza Catto
• GilgameshDespair - Chaiket
• Nerjin - Arsolf Felhook

Waitlisted folks:

• Empty

Spoiler: Character Generation (click to show/hide)

Mythweavers is a good place to generate character sheet. Failing that, use this  to generate a character sheet. It's got some pretty nice built-ins.

You can be any character with an LA of +1 max.

To lower LA, you can pick a tier class. Tier 1 has no exchange, Tier 2 gets a -1 LA, and so on.
My list is here.

In any case, no pixie character. Infinite Greater Invisibility is stupid.

32 point buy as follows -

8 - base
9-14 - 1/pt
15-16 - 2/pt
17-18 - 3/pt

You can purchase 1 single extra feat at the start of creation for a single flaw that affects your character, at my discretion. (PM me the flaw you ant and your build and I'll make the call on it.)

Develop your character as a 1st level whatever. Then boost them to 3rd level. Dying at level 1 sucks, and a sword can kill you. I don't want that to happen.

Spoiler: House Rules (click to show/hide)

Natural 20's are exploding dice on confirming critical hits and add +1 to the multiplier.

On an attack natural 1 you incur an attack of opportunity.

Rogues only get sneak attacks on foes who are denied their DEX bonus, not on flanks.

To make up for the above, rogues now get improved feint as a 1st level bonus feat.

As well, Improved Uncanny Dodge gives a +2 initiative after surprise rounds.

There have been grappling changes made. Keep this in mind for it is now much deadlier:

If one is pinned for more than 3 turns, they must save DC 10 + opponent's STR modifier or black out for the remainder of the grapple.

If one is blacked out, the opponent can make a grapple check 15 + CON points to inflict full nonlethal damage to their target, leaving them helpless.

Apply size/trait/feat modifiers as bonuses to rolls or to DC/checks as necessary for the above.

ALL spells may be turned into potions. Burst spells as Fireball are thrown touch AC splash weapons with a distance increment of 20 feet. Cone spells are quaffed then emitted through the mouth, except burning hands; In that case the spell emanates from the hands.

Certain personal spells may be put into wands.

Most personal spells may be enchanted into cloth, at a price. Let me know the explicit effects of the item.

We will be using a different cone form. If/when it comes up, I will draw the cone out.

If any rule ambiguity arises, I will decide on the spot how to handle it for the rest of the session and review it after.

I can and likely will change this list as the adventures unfold. I can only modify this list at any time that isn't during encounters.

[Gentlefish]

Yep another one. Why not.

[tryrar]

except for feats and flaws(specifically if they are allowed or not ). Oh, and I might be in depending on if I can figure out a good char concept.

[Gentlefish]

Haha, good question. Sure, one flaw and one feat, to my discretion. The flaw really has to affect your character.

[tryrar]

whoops meant trait, not feat

Also, is this normal 4d6 drop lowest or point buy or what?

[Gentlefish]

Oh fuck I said 7d6 yeah haha. it's 4d6 and re-roll 1's

[tryrar]

Also, the standard for char sheets is Mythweavers. It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd prefer to use that since that's where all my char sheets are.

[Gentlefish]

Go for it. I'll update and figure out the site myself. This is my first Play-by-Post D&D, heh.

[tryrar]

BTW, Stat roll. Are we doing WBL of a third level char or just starting gold for our class?

[Gentlefish]

You're getting 3rd level character gold, 2,700 gold. 100 gold maximum left over.

Heads up, you can also be any class with an LA of +1.

[Tawa]

I would be in, except for how your 4d6 rolling makes characters I don't like because I can't have my stat-maxing-at-18.

Will watch.

What do you mean? I've rolled up a character with 16-17-18-17-18-17 with this method. I usually always get at least one 18 on six iterations of rolls.

E: Wow that was super unclear sorry guys.

[tryrar]

I think that's what he was complaining about
