Alright, so what type of characters / rules are there going to be in this campaign?

First things first: All those creatures that would normally be immune to critical strikes and s*** (undead, constructs, etc.) Will now be resistant to them. What this means is that If you deal a critical hit (and you confirm it with a second roll) you will deal half of the alloted critical damage. So if you would normally deal 200% (x2) then you will do 150% (1.5) damage. Also; extra damage such as a rogues sneak attack will also be put under this rule. If you guys have not figured it out, there is probably going to be a lot of undead, so it would be unfair to have a rouge's benefit denied for a large portion of the game while essentially stacking the odds on the cleric.

XP will be rewarded loosely. I will give more to those who role play more. But I am thinking that 3-5 encounters should give the party a level up.

Character creation:
Make a level 5 character. Use any base class(es) that you can find in any of the official rules books. If you dont have any rule books, torrent them. There are some really nice 3.5 torrents out there to be found and used.

If you have not all ready known about this; I will make it clear now, we are playing D&D 3.5. Don't know/forget the rules? Torrent them. Starting gold will be 6000, and no more then 25% can be put into one single item.

Email me at [email protected], or post your character stats on the recruitment page or this page.

Thnx, and lets all have fun!!

Lady an dGentlmen; lend me your ears. I wish to tell you an impotant figure on the rules of rolling HP. Instead of rolling, take your max HP value for each hit die.

Faragon and Cyrus are the only to to have posted on this adventure, so before we continue, I would like some the others to make their posts.

jbfedaykin may take a while with his posts, as he does not have the books yet. I too might take some time, because my computer is dead again: the motherboard is (probably) fried. I do not have a back up at the moment, but in a few days time rivertothesea should be able to help me out with this... Bring me your eternal hard drive river2sea!

I would like it if you expanded a bit more on these first posts: these are the epic introductions to your amazing characters. Give me insight as to what they are thinking, feeling, and wanting. What has been done so far is not bad though... This is a request, not a demand. If you have no interest in stating more, then don't bother.

Anyways, if jbfedaykin does not get a post up in a bit, we might continue on without him until he gets his character together.

excellent first posts my party! lets keep this up!

Since this is your first time on a blog, and it is essentially my first campaign, we will have to figure somethings along the way. I am wanting a post every week or so. It should not take that long, but I am hoping that this will be enjoyable, not a chore xD.

So I will give a post, then I want your characters to respond to it. interation with each other is desired, so if one person makes a post, and then another wishes to interact with that persona, please do so. YEs, there will not be as much action in this campaign like we are used to when we were together, but that is sort of expected. Its about the role playing, action comes second.
