Basically, the campaign will be done over the boards, and we will be using this page for all rolls.
It will be set during the early Age of Mortals, around the time Sorcery is discovered. Therefore I would be allowing the use of the following classes:
Barbarian (PHB)
Bard (Divine spellcaster/Mysticism) (PHB)
Fighter (PHB)
Mariner (AOM)
Mystic (DLCS)
Noble (DLSC)
Ranger (Spell-less version, the one in Complete Warrior)
Rogue (PHB)
Sorcerer (PHB)
coupled with the following races:
Human (civilised and nomad)
Elf (Qualinesti and Kagonesti)
Dwarf (Mountain, Hill and Gully)
Kender (Normal and Afflicted)
The beginning level would be 1st with a 30 point buy system.
All alignments are allowed,
Maximum hit points at first level,
Average starting gold,
Feats from PHB, Monster Manual, DLCS, AOM
House Rules: none.
when do we start?
chat room based? (Would rather not)
IM based? (doesent work at all for me)
Message boards based? (best for me)
i dont get to play much, just DM, so playing would be great.
give me info (I.E. to the aforementioned questions) and i'll roll up a character.
P.S. are the aprentice level rueles in the DMG (i.e. multiclassing at first level) allowed?
P.P.S. what is 'this page'? the link is broken

ACK!!! Those are horrible. I don't understand the purpose of starting out like that. It's just not good.
Secondly, you're going to want to fix that link by taking out the first http:// in it.

How many are you trying to gather?
Feel free to drop me a PM.
Is Qualinesti Bard (divine/mysticism based is a great choice! I was confused as to why DLCS took away bardic healing when the descriptions of bardic and and mystic magic and almost identical, to me bards are very Fifth Age) taken yet?
Would need to know more specifics of course...
It will only be a shorter campaign, most likely taking PCs up to six or seventh level. If we are all having lots of fun, then I will definiatly continue on with the story.
For details, the starting Year is 405 AC (22 SC) and we will be using the variant rules for unreliable spell casting:
DC 15 + Spell Level; Success -2 spellcaster level.
To help people out, and offer advice in general I am allowing the following feat:
RESIST SPIRTUAL DRAIN (General)
Benefit: You recieve a +4 bonus on all checks made to resist the draining effects of spirituals during the fifth age, and the special ability of the bound spirit template (See AoM for more details).
Starting location will be in Sanction during the time of Hogan Bight's rule. PCs can be of any race so long as their ECL remains at one (1). Classes are limited, due to the conditions of the Fifth Age, and I will be leaving it up to player descretion as to how their character class will be affected. Players can always ask for advice, but only in this thread, as the other one will be for gaming purposes only.
Finally any d20 content is allowed, as long as a source is presented when you write up your character and it is conductive towards fleshing your character out.
Please before you start, take a couple of moments to read through other threads in the forum, as they contain basical presentation rules and an example of how our play is doing to be formatted.
I will be taking up to six (6) players.

WIS: 6 (-2)
That's a fairly hefty penalty you're giving your character, if you're wanting to take nightstalker. Their spells are wisdom based, although off the top of my head I don't recall how many other abilities are tied to wisdom. Wisdom that low means little in the way of spellcasting.
Plus I think you're some skills short. You've got 11 there, and rogue (8) and int 18 (4) is 12.

They are good folks, and don't mind if you run games that arn't one of their's (Scarred Lands for instance). Plus the site has a DB for characters and its own Dice Roller.
Just a thought.

yeah but chat means we all have to be on at once . . .
pddisc: wiscom only governs spells, none of the other nightstalker abilities. NOTE: about skills, ur rite. ill add 2 more languages.
I didn't think the support was out there!!!
So if anybody is truely interested, I can run Key of Destiny (that will make it easier to get the webmaster's approval).
The trouble with setting up a DL game is that their is too much background knowledge. I had hoped to recruit people in this forum, as they know what is happening in the world. Newbies who usually play in homebrew would have no clue as to what the War of Souls was, nor understand recent plights.
So if you are interested, PM me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cuz I would absolutly love to hold a Dragonlance game!
