Well, can you read my Ed compiled logs? They are also Word docs except for the PDF's Alaundo created. |

Kuje, a rules-type question for you:
When dealing with multi-classing and skills, do you use the standard PHB (Skills are spent as if the class getting the new level comprised the only class skills the character has), or the common house rule/variant that once a skill is a class skill, skill points may be distributed freely among them during level-up? |
One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

I'd be happier staying on Toril, so Berdusk for me please!
One last question, you said the regional feat was a free bonus feat, right? So at 1st Level, a character would get two feats, one for 1st level and one bonus feat from the regional list? |

My character will be a half-moon elf rogue 10....i'm not so fond of multiclassing .
I like the Berdusk plot, i like intrigue and RP.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this. I use the house rule, it makes more sense to me. So once a class skill is a class skill it's always a class skill and skill points can be added to any skill that your character knowns. It doesn't have to be based on the current class you switched to. I.E. if you switched to say wizard from a rogue, you can either skill up rogue skills or wizard skills. |

Okay, I think I'm going to close the intrigue game to anyone else because I got 6 of you unless one of you is dead set on that campaign.
Hopefully the rest of you won't mind a Faerun/Planar crossover.
So the break down is:
Burdusk Intrigue Campaign:
Sian
Daviot
Frapost
Jorkins
Ozzalum
Uzzy
Faerun/Planar Campaign:
Sage
Kes
Matthus
And then Kajehase (Well, he said either campaign is fine), and Aravine are still undecided.
I'll make two new threads to split the different campaigns into their respected threads once we get every one committed to either campaign.
Edit: I'd also need email addies from all of you. You can either PM them or email me them through Keep's email system since I updated my email to my gmail account since RR seems to eat Candlekeep emails. Or email my RR account directly since the email is somewhere in this thread. :) |

And yes, take one regional feat from the FRCS from whatever region your char is from and it is a free feat.
Note to the others: Or if your char is from the planes, pick a feat that makes sense. I always figured if you are from or have been to Sigil then all of the regional feats could be found there. |

So it seems to go to the stars, it sounds great
The Chanter was originally in Complete Bard’s Handbook and I remembered him as bard. Thomas M. Costa did the conversion to 3/3.5 as found in his Prestige in the Realms. The design is focusing more on the divine aspects of the character. I hope this is ok for you – if not, just let me know. The work from Mr. Costa can be found here in the halls – or I can give you the details of the chanter.
Ah, the details, the details ….
I’m still working on the background – why a follower of the Keeper of Secrets under the Mountains is going into other spaces. But tomorrow the latest I will send the results.

Okay,
Last night I was sitting here thinking, after talking to Sage for awhile, and I came to my decision.
Both groups, if you didn't notice, are going to start in Berdusk. One group are Harpers or Harper allies to the Berdusk branch and the second group, which is the planar/realmspace group, are Harpers or harper allies to the eastern branch, which is the Shadowdale branch.
The two groups met up in Berdusk, or came from Berdusk, to compete in a friendly competition. One group, of course, is staying on Toril and the other is going off world, to borrow a Stargate reference.
Let the games begin. :)
Edit: I decided this because a few were going, I don't care which campaign it is. Plus, if some players want to switch from one group to the other, it'll be easier for me to add them to the different campaigns. |

Great. I'll get my character to you as soon as I can (need to look up a few things before I start), which should be sometime today or tomorrow. And umm... if you haven't done so already, I'm guessing you can count me into the planar group |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

My goodness, it sounds like y'all are much farther along in the creation proccess than I am.  I barely have the concept down, and the stats rolled.  |
Ack! I seem to have too much blood in my coffee stream!

Yeah, kinda figured you were now in that group. :) And well because I just said, eh, he's in that group. Tough cookies. :)

No worries Kes, the only one that has sent me a character is Jorkins and only because I converted his 2e char to the current rules but him and I are still hashing out some things.
But don't feel like ya'll need to rush and hurry up and get it done but I'd like the char asap. :) |

Aravine,
Are you still out there? Haven't seen a post from you in about a day or two..... Hope you saw my post to you about your background and fleshing it out. |

I'll see what I can do. Spent yesterday with the oldest for Family Weekend, and today I have a dessert reception at the sorority for 120 ppl.... which I should already be there working on. |

I get the feeling I need to add some more about the magical items since there seems to be some discussion about it because a few of you have brought it up.
The +2 to armor/weapon is not set in stone. If you want to drop the + to a +1 and add a magical item property to it, that is fine with me as well and then if you want to use the remaining gold pieces on other magical items, go ahead. The only requirement I have is that no weapon/armor is above +2, at this point. However, that doesn't mean you can't add a weapon property to the +2 weapon/armor because you can, if you want to pay the GP's for it.
Just send me a list of magical items that you are interested in so we can go over it and so I can try to keep the magical items balanced amongst the party members.
As I said before, not all of the gold pieces have to be used on magical items either. If you want to save them to buy land or a tavern/festhall/feasting hall/etc, or open bardic college, or use them to purchase rare ingredients to make portals, etc, then that is fine with me.
I actually prefer that some of the funds NOT be used on magical items but I'm not going to restrict that if you want to use the GP on magical items.
Just remember, you have 49,000 GP to play with.
Hope this clears up some of the confusion?.... |

Grin, uh, cause we never narrowed it down except for sometime in the 1360's. So, 1365 seems as good a date as any other. :)
And okay Fra, no worries. :) Some people are still working on their chars anyhow. |

Here's a small file I put together from the info I dug up in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast and FR Adventures. These two books also have maps of Berdusk. Oddly the 1e and 2e campaign box sets don't have any Berdusk material, at least not that I saw.
Leader of Berdusk is: High Lady Cylyria (Sil-EAR-ia) Dragonbreast.
Important people: Obslin Minstrelwish, seneschal of Twilight Hall and Cylyria.
The “first folk”, I.E. self-styled noble families, of Berdusk are: Athalankeir, Bellanbram, Caunter, Charthoon, Danllbur, Felannlilt, Gort, Halabart, Jalarghar, Lothkarr, Mreen, Oyindle, Parstin, and Uthgolabar. They host parties, play elaborate games that try to out do each other’s boasts, deeds, and displays of wealth.
Around Castle Hill are the tall houses of the wealthy merchants.
The seat of the government is the High Lady’s Castle.
Bersduskan Dark is produced in the city and it is a very dark amber sherry wine. The city also makes and repairs wagons and barges. Wool is also made in the city from the mills. Most of wealth comes from trade though.
Bellowbar’s Gate and Shortarrow Gate are the two northwestern gates. Riverroad Gate is the western gate. Drover’s Gate is the southwestern gate. Vale Gate is the southeastern gate. Woods Gate is the northeastern gate.
Temples in Berdusk are: Inner Chamber, the temple of Deneir. Twilight Hall is located within the Inner Chamber. The Ready House of the Right Strong Hand, a temple of Helm. Evensong Tower, a temple of Milil. The Seat of Lore, a temple of Oghma.
Shrines in Berdusk are: Roseportal House, a shrine to Lathander. House of the High Hand, a shrine of Azuth. The Misthall, a shrine of Leira. Starrevel Hall, a shrine to Lliira. Swordspoint Hall, a shrine to Tempus. The House of the Hungry Merchant, a shrine to Waukeen.
Shops in Berdusk: Alamather’s by the Water, a shop that buys/sells unusual and unique weapons. Ondraer’s Fine Page, a bookseller. The Dawn of Any Day, a shop that buys and sells minor magical items. Thunderwood Forays, a shop that buys and sells adventuring gear.
Taverns: The Flourished Flagon. The Running Stag (This is an inn as well). The Black Bear (This is also a inn.)
Inns: The Sign of the Silver Sword. Hullybuck’s Gamble (This inn is halflings preferred).
Festhalls: The Heralds’ Rest (High class). The Ruby Shawl (Sleazy hole).
Tankard Houses: Tlindar’s Own. The Bellblade Throne. Memblar’s Minstrelry. Olyndin’s Folly. The Hurled Harp. Blackposts Bench. The Happy Hearth. The Bright Moon. Soondar’s Sixth. The Riverbarge. Three Brave Harpists. Lonelycoins House.
Thousandheads Trading Coster has a base just within the city near the Riverroad Gate. |

And for a run down on completed characters:
Jorkins is mostly done.
Ozzalum is done.
Uzzy is done.
I'm waiting on Daviot, Sian, and Frapost. I know, some of you said you are working on it, so no worries.
Matthus is done.
I know, same as above, so no worries. |

Leader of Berdusk is: High Lady Cylyria (Sil-EAR-ia) Dragonbreast.
Important people: Obslin Minstrelwish, seneschal of Twilight Hall and Cylyria.
The “first folk”, I.E. self-styled noble families, of Berdusk are: Athalankeir, Bellanbram, Caunter, Charthoon, Danllbur, Felannlilt, Gort, Halabart, Jalarghar, Lothkarr, Mreen, Oyindle, Parstin, and Uthgolabar. They host parties, play elaborate games that try to out do each other’s boasts, deeds, and displays of wealth.
Around Castle Hill are the tall houses of the wealthy merchants.
The seat of the government is the High Lady’s Castle.
Bersduskan Dark is produced in the city and it is a very dark amber sherry wine. The city also makes and repairs wagons and barges. Wool is also made in the city from the mills. Most of wealth comes from trade though.
Bellowbar’s Gate and Shortarrow Gate are the two northwestern gates. Riverroad Gate is the western gate. Drover’s Gate is the southwestern gate. Vale Gate is the southeastern gate. Woods Gate is the northeastern gate.
Temples in Berdusk are: Inner Chamber, the temple of Deneir. Twilight Hall is located within the Inner Chamber. The Ready House of the Right Strong Hand, a temple of Helm. Evensong Tower, a temple of Milil. The Seat of Lore, a temple of Oghma.
Shrines in Berdusk are: Roseportal House, a shrine to Lathander. House of the High Hand, a shrine of Azuth. The Misthall, a shrine of Leira. Starrevel Hall, a shrine to Lliira. Swordspoint Hall, a shrine to Tempus. The House of the Hungry Merchant, a shrine to Waukeen.
Shops in Berdusk: Alamather’s by the Water, a shop that buys/sells unusual and unique weapons. Ondraer’s Fine Page, a bookseller. The Dawn of Any Day, a shop that buys and sells minor magical items. Thunderwood Forays, a shop that buys and sells adventuring gear.
Taverns: The Flourished Flagon. The Running Stag (This is an inn as well).
Inns: The Sign of the Silver Sword. Hullybuck’s Gamble (This inn is halflings preferred).
Festhalls: The Heralds’ Rest (High class). The Ruby Shawl (Sleazy hole).
Tankard Houses: Tlindar’s Own. The Bellblade Throne. Memblar’s Minstrelry. Olyndin’s Folly. The Hurled Harp. Blackposts Bench. The Happy Hearth. The Bright Moon. Soondar’s Sixth. The Riverbarge. Three Brave Harpists. Lonelycoins House.

Forgot about that one. Will look in it later. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
