Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Forgotten Realms Game

[Kogan]

Okay, I've been trying to get this DnD game running on several other forums and it's not worked so I may as well see how it does here

It's an eight parter and will take you guys from Lv1 to Lv20 so it's pretty big. I'm using a format I found on another site that is great for summing up the rules without a huge wall of text.

1. What game system are you running, and if applicable what edition?
- DnD 3.5 Edition

2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be? What is the setting for the game?
- Forgotten Realms Setting.

3. How many Players are you looking for?
- Preferably 4 players but I can work with 3 or even up to 6 max.

4. What's the gaming medium?
- Play by Post (PbP) on these forums, anything done in secret will be through PMs

5. What is the characters' starting status?
- Characters start at Level 1, No Gestalt.

6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with?
- Characters get average starting gold according to their class to spend on equipment.

7. Are there any particular character classes that you want... or do not want?
- I'd like a balanced party if possible, only allowing the 11 core classes, No Psionics.

8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game?
- Players can chose any race from the PHB, the FR Campaign Setting or anything in the Monster Manual of Humanoid, Dragon or Outsider type with no more than +2 Level Adjustment and no racial Hit Dice.

9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?
- Abilities are 5d6b3 six times, or 32 Point Buy. Hit Points are max for 1st Level, roll for others.

10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so?
- Yes, I use alignment, preferably kept to Good and Neutral characters.

11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it?
- I do allow multiclassing, I do not allow gamebreaking character builds.

12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game?
- Players can roll the dice themselves, but I reserve the right to reroll if I find anything suspicious.

13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about?
- Nope, no Homebrew. No Traits or Flaws either.

14. Is a character background required?
- Yes, nothing too exhaustive, a couple sentences will do.

15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above?
- Primarily Roleplaying with some Hack and Slash and Puzzle Solving thrown in.

16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material?
- You can use any of the official sourcebooks for feats and spells etc, as long as I can access them too. No class variants though, I want to keep it as simple as possible.

So, those are the rules, who wants to play?

*evil grin*

Oh, Forgotten Realms is a neat place. Well, since Nin wouldn't let me into his DnD one, can I join yours? I want to play a wizard, but I want to use a race from Races of Destiny. Its called an Illumian. No lvl adjustment, essentially human but with a few extras. It's a race designed to multiclass quite well, imo. Possible?

[Kogan]

I've checked out the illumian race and I'll allow it.

Just make sure you don't go overboard with multiclassing and pick a FR deity, most of the Illumian ones don't exist in Faerun and I don't want to expand the pantheon unless I can help it.

[ketaro]

Thats fine. And my plan is like, wizard, to rogue, then prestige class. That alright?

[Kogan]

Yeah but in that case we're probably gonna need a dedicated arcane caster and a dedicated skill monkey as well

[Ninmast]

I call Human Fighter.

[Kogan]

Okay, good to have you on board ^_^

[ketaro]

Oh, I won't be losing out on spelllevel, I'll simply be getting the next lvl of spells 3 lvls later than usual. But it'd be just as strong as a wizard of same lvl. Also, at the same time, I can be better than the party rogue for rogue skills

Here's the lvl 1 dude then: Bloodhunter Ruthek - Illumian Wizard
Point of random fact, Bloodhunter is the last name. First names for Illumians cannot actually be pronounced in any language but their own so they usually just introduce themselves by last name. *shrugs* Not important.

EDIT:Wow that sounded a little more confusing that I thought it would...rereading that first couple lines. Basically, don't worry. It works quite well.

[Kogan]

Okay, a couple things I'd like you to fix, yes I'm pedantic but it makes things much easier for me, and it makes it look better.

Make sure the current HP, Non Lethal Damage and Damage Reduction boxes are filled in, even if it's something as simple as a 0. In your hit dice box make sure to record your con modifier as well (1d4+2).

On your weapons record the range, size and type (Range for melee weapons is 5ft., Daggers can be thrown 10ft.) Size is Medium and type refers to the damage dealt.

Make sure you get your equipment list done properly, right now your illumian is running around buck naked with only a book and a pouch to hide his modesty. Also record your weapons on there as well since it calculates weight carried at the bottom. I strongly encourage you to bring basic adventuring supplies.

You're gonna loathe me for this but you'll have to record your cantrips on your spell list too, yes, all 19 of them from the PHB (Don't worry about suppliments if you don't want to) and put a 1 beside the ones you have prepared.

You currently have no money, at all, you may want to fix that...

You also have to fill in the personality field and add a brief character backstory.

I know it sounds a lot but it's really just little things and it'll save me a lot of headaches later on.

Also if you don't change it, I WILL roleplay the fact your character is wearing nothing at all which leads to nasty accidents involving the local authorities, a cold jail cell and a 7ft. bald guy named Dominant Ted.

Alternately you could add Kogan to the list of permissions to edit it and I'll fix it myself.

Thanks for applying and if you fix all that then you've a good chance of getting in.

[ketaro]

Heh, nice, picking at the details huh? Well I went ahead and did a little more than what you told me to. Such as tossing in more than just the set of clothes, pretty much just gave him a stocked inventory.

Sigh, I was hoping tho I wouldn't have to fill in the Cantrips. I mean, there's so many of them and so few spots for the spell list...sigh...fine -.-

.............Done. Background is in the other notes section. Sorry I cluttered that section up with other notes for myself first. Just scroll thru it to the bottom.

[raptorman]

I call the mage, I have one who was made for a campaign that never took off.

[Ninmast]

Read the whole thread before trying to call something, Raptor. The mage is already taken. Ketaro has even posted the sheet.

[raptorman]

Kogan said that they needed a pure spell person as the mage of Ketaro's is a cross between a mage and a skulker type

[Kogan]

Looks good Nin, Sammy's gonna be...interesting...

You can play whatever you want Raptor, just look over the PDF I sent you and follow the character creation rules in the front ^^

You've got my msn just incase you've got questions.
