I'll check it out and describe the continent after my hapkido class.

EDIT: And dinner.

Preliminary Character Sheet: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=290293

Questions:
-Are Forest Gnomes allowed? I assume no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
-As a gnome, if I start as a Fighter and then multiclass to Paladin, what happens? I am bad with the multiclass rules.
-What gods exist, if any, in the setting?
-Do any orders of knights/paladins exist which my character might aspire to join?
-Will we be doing a whole lot of dungeon crawling?
-Do Gnomish Riding Badgers exist?

Gnop Gnopson, the gnomish gnight? Who has a pet donkey named Sprouts? And rides a badger? This promises to be interesting...

But you spent to many points on stats. You used what I believe is a 43 point buy, while we're using a 25 point buy.

Anyway, at least my character isn't the only midget.

EDIT: Wow, your gnome seems a little pudgy, if you don't mind me saying. Three feet tall and weighing in at 150 pounds? I'm 5' 7" and I weigh 120 pounds.

I figured it was "start at 10, distribute 25 between everything". 25 points between 6 stats is ~4 per stat, which would be crazy.

Unless higher scores cost more points?

Use this character generator to get the stats. And yeah, it costs more the higher you go. And it starts at 8.

Jack, would you be willing to let me use the Able Learner feat? I think it's from the rulebook Races of Destiny, but I found out about it from some 'how to not suck as a rogue' guide. It basically lets you keep skills from being cross-class when you multiclass.

And could you describe the continent so that I could throw together a map? I'd just like to know what is where.
Okay.  Here goes nothing.

You've got these two kingdoms, Kalbania and Gardis.  Kalbania is the southeastern kingdom, controlling much of the south coast and a large chunk of the interior of the continent.  It has little control over the eastern coastal area, though.  Gardis is to the northwest of Kalbania, controlling the western coast and a large chunk of the continent.  Neither kingdom controls the assorted forests, swamps, plains, jungles, and deserts to the north.  Those tend to be home to a nice assortment of monsters.  Settlement attempts have constantly failed, leaving nice, explorable ruins.

To the north of that is a chain of mountains.  Nobody really knows what's beyond the mountains.  That, or nobody who knows has actually said anything.

Kalbania's capital, at approximately the center of the kingdom, is Halmsberg.  Three Cedars is located on the northern border of Kalbania, towards the east.  Gardis's capital is Gardia.  It's a harbour city, on the western coast.

Questions:
-Are Forest Gnomes allowed? I assume no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
-As a gnome, if I start as a Fighter and then multiclass to Paladin, what happens? I am bad with the multiclass rules.
-What gods exist, if any, in the setting?
-Do any orders of knights/paladins exist which my character might aspire to join?
-Will we be doing a whole lot of dungeon crawling?
-Do Gnomish Riding Badgers exist?

*Forest Gnomes: Looking at them, I see a pure improvement over basic gnomes.  So...no, sorry.
*Multiclassing to Paladin is not recommended.  At all.  The combination of the "no advancing in any other class" Paladin rule and the 20% XP penalty for having more than a 1 level difference is pretty terrible.
*Gods are the PHB gods, due to laziness.  Because this is rather limiting when it comes to domains, players can request gods with specific domains, weapons, alignments, and such.  Also, Gnar Gnopkins, gnomish god of gnome puns and heroic gnomish warfare, exists.  Domains are luck, law, and war, and his favored weapon is the gnomish hooked hammer.  Alignment is lawful good.
*The most notable order of knights is the Crimson Order, working directly for the king of Kalbania.  They happen to be extremely strict about membership, though.  Also notable is the Stalwart Order, an order of heroic knights/paladins/such who are best known for protecting those in the more hazardous northern towns.  The occasional one has passed through Three Cedars.  There are assorted smaller, lesser-known groups as well.
*There will be some dungeon crawling.
*Gnomish Riding Badgers: YES.  YES.  YES.

Jack, would you be willing to let me use the Able Learner feat? I think it's from the rulebook Races of Destiny, but I found out about it from some 'how to not suck as a rogue' guide. It basically lets you keep skills from being cross-class when you multiclass.
Sounds fine to me.  I'd like to see the exact wording and requirements, though.

Doing an in-depth look through characters.  Will post again when done.

Actually, thinking about it, I'm making another house rule: paladins are a favored class for everybody.  This gets rid of the rather stupid-looking issue with multiclassing to paladin and multiclass XP penalties.

Updated character to include my new Gnod and to remove spirited charge, a leftover from when Gnop was a human. I don't get that till level 2 as a gnome.

E: I approve of this houserule.

Grek:
*You have too many feats.  1st level gets you one feat, and fighters get a bonus feat.  You can't actually have Spirited Charge yet. Fixed.
*You have too many hit points.  The fighter 10 plus 2 for constitution makes 12, not 15.
*You forgot your fighter +2 fortitude.
*You've spent 27 points on abilities, 2 more than allowed.

Araph:
*As a rogue (with no caster level), I don't see any way for you to have Scribe Scroll.
*You have one more feat than allowed.  I'm guessing the Scribe Scroll isn't supposed to be there, though.
*I'm just going to say that basic clothing is free.  You've got only 70 GP to start with, so I'm not going to force you to buy clothing.
*As a rogue, you get a +2 to reflex saves, not will.
*No thieves' tools (big thing)?  No armor (slightly less big)?

Whoops, forgot about Scribe Scroll and the saves. They were carry-overs from when I was gong to have him be a wizard. I'll fix that now. Also, the lack of tools is due to budget issues. Until I buy some, I'll just take a -2 penalty for that. Armor is because I'm going to multiclass into wizard. And I know about the Favored class problem, and I'm going to keep the levels even. I'm try to get the prestige class Arcane Trickster as fast as I can. Actually, could I get pixie's Favored class switched from sorcerer, or is that a bit cheaty? Given how it's home-brewed and all.

Character accepted.  Yes, you can switch that favored class, as that doesn't really change how powerful the race is much.

Heh. If Evergod decides to play as a Halfling or dwarf, I'm declaring this the campaign of midgets.
