DL Campaign 2 Info, Characters and ?'s

[Magrus]

I'm going to start a new campaign soon, as soon as the old one is over which will be in just a few battles. Thoughts, suggestions, questions and requests will all be welcome, as well as new player's.

I'll post some basic's for everyone.

*Go here for player information if you do not have access to D&D books. I will refer you to this page with questions regarding almost anything outside of the Dragonlance Book. If you don't know how a spell works, or about your equipment, check that. If you still have questions, ask me and I'll point you in the right direction. It will help everyone learn the rules digging through them for the answer's and in the end, speed up the game once people do know whats going on and how to look things up for themselves in the event they have a question.

I'm in the mood for some "super" heroes. As I'm not all that in favor of rolling for everything and having the party in need of resting constantly this is how I'll do things. You will be stronger than the average monster and person, you should be. You'll be facing a lot of them. Here is how you will do your Hit Points and Ability scores:

Hit Points:
Base--1st lvl------After 1st

1d4---4+Con M.--3+Con M.
1d6---6+Con M.--4+Con M.
1d8---8+Con M.--6+Con M.
1d10--10+Con M.-7+Con M.
1d12--12+Con M.-8+Con M.

Abilities:

Str:-8
Dex:8
Con: 8
Int:-8
Wis:8
Cha:8

You get a pool of 32 points to distribute towards your attributes. The points work as such:
Base/Cost
8/0
9/1
10/2
11/3
12/4
13/5
14/6
15/8
16/10
17/13
18/16
19/20
20/24

You can pump your attributes to 20+racial modifiers if you wish to do so. It will just cost you nearly everything (A human with 20 strength would have 10 for everything else.)

Races: We have some modified races for the "core races" to use. I won't post everything, or all but here's some ones for you that you might like, keep in mind there are more and you may want to ask about them. If you have books of your own and would like to incorporate a race, post the info and I'll consider it. If the stats of one race interests you, I'll give you the description, that's too much to type for each of them.

Dark Dwarves:
+2 to Con, -4 to Cha.
Darkvision 120ft
+2 to Hide, Listen and Move silently Checks
-2 to attacks, saves and skill checks in bright light (sunlight, lantern light, within 30ft of a torch, etc.)
Favored Class: Rogue

Kagonesti Elf:
+2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma
Elvensight: x2 distance in low-light as human, 30ft Darkvision
Proficient with: Short sword, Short spear, Short bow, Long bow
+1 Racial bonus to Knowledge: Nature and Survival checks
Automatic Languages: Elven and Sylvan
Favored Class: Ranger

Qualinesti Elf:
+2 Dex, -2 Con
Elvensight: See above
+1 Racial bonus to Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks
Automatic Languages: Elven and Common

Silvanesti Elves:
+2 Dex, +2 Intelligence, -2 Con, -2 Cha
Elvensight
+1 to Knowledge: Arcana and Spellcraft
Automatic Languages: Elven

Tinker Gnomes:
+2 Dex, +2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -2 Wisdom
Small Size: +1 to AC, +1 to Attack, +4 to Hide, must use smaller weapons
Base Speed: 20 (normal 30)
+2 to Craft: Alchemy checks
Guild Affiliation: Pick a guild you are connected to that has to do with something. Whatever it has to do with, you get a +2 to a set of skills. I'll explain more when that time comes.
+2 to Will Saves
Automatic Languages: Common and Gnome
Favored Class: 1st level class taken, any.

Mad Gnomes:
+2 Dex, -2 Str
+2 Bonus to Open Lock and Disable Device (can use even untrained)
The rest: Same as standard gnome (check website)

Kender (Halfling):
+2 Dex, -2 Str, -2 Wis
Small Size: See Above
Speed: 20
+1 to all Saves
+2 to Spot, *Open Locks, *Sleight of hand, (*untrained use)
-4 to Concentration Checks
Taunt: +4 to Bluff when taunting someone
Fearlessnes: Immune to fear
Auto Lang: Kenderspeak and Common
Favored Class: Rogue

The rest, are your "monster races". They have special abilities and are stronger and impose a penalty to level (Centaur, draconian, ogre), or start at level 1 and are simply rare as characteres (minotaur) or rare period (Irda).

If you wish to delve into those, let me know.

You will get 1 special item fitting to class, and 100 steel upon character creation, if we start at 1st level. If above, I'll set a level based equipment base.

Magic Using Characters: You have Spell points. Not Spell slots. The spell points work like the Psionic classes do with their points. Wizards and clerics STILL need to pick the spells they know for the day, but may use any of those in any arrangment they wish. The 10th level cleric can cast Cure Light wounds an absurd number of times and ignore all other spells if she wanted. I'll give you spell points based on level and ability and class.

There may be more, let me think on it.

Comments, suggestions, input, questions?

[Siberys]

Dude, I'll play if you allow me. I'll PM you my stats later, k?

[Darth Zenemij]

So, no humans? I would Like To be a Drac, crap I on't remember what it was, forget It, I'll be Aladine.

[Siberys]

So, do you allow Tieflings?

(Roguish quarter fiends)

Level adj. +1

[Magrus]

Humans are standard yeah, those are just whats different from that website.

Syb, you can play yeah, go ahead and post it all here. I have more races, if you want to start above 1st level feel free.

DZ, if you want to be your character... everyone would start at 8th level. Discuss it with Syb, if thats cool with him I'll go with that.

It would let him pick a centaur (ecl 6) as a ranger, or ogre (6), or a draconian like you are. There's 5 sub-races of Draconian btw. You have the "middle" one, the Bozak DZ. That's umm...actually (ecl 6) too. I need to adjust your character, sorry man. I screwed a lot of stuff up last game.

Edit: @ Syb-I could do that yeah, you'll need a story as to how you GOT there though. Convince me of a reason and you can play. You'd be the ONLY one on the world.

[Darth Zenemij]

Yeah, lol. I'll pm sib.

[Magrus]

*shrugs* You guys can discuss it here if you want. It's what the threads for.

[Siberys]

"If you want to start above first level, feel free"

I'll just start a 2nd level character. ECL 3 though if tiefling is allowed.

[Magrus]

Well...if he's going to be ECL 8...you'd be SCREWED man.

Work out the level you guys want to start at, anything 1-10 is fine with me.

[Siberys]

Going by the Dm's guide, it says second level characters get 900 gold. Also, third level characters get 2700 gold. Which do you want me to have, or is there another specific value that you would give me?

[Magrus]

DM's guide for you ECL, but dude. DZ wants his old character at 8th level. You do realize I'd have to balance it out and that leaves you with a chance of getting crushed every encounter in a single round?

[Darth Zenemij]

Wait, did you say no Familiars Magrus?

[Siberys]

Also, do you allow prestige classes? I know this is a bit much to ask all at once, but it is a new campaign.
