Go right ahead. You already know the whole of Jack's character sheet, so you should understand the concept (even though it's just the first five levels). Most of the other class features will be from Sage's Master of Attack and Defense PrC (he agreed to that). I am thinking of changing the Awareness class feature, but it functions the same way. Let me know what you think of that feature in particular. |

First of all, this is more than a major problem, as we've already decided upon using the 3.5 ruleset. Do you have access to a copy of the SRD?

So if ya still got room and you don't play too late for my liking then I would like to join if possible. Feel free to email me. Email should be in my profile 
Right now, it's looking like an email campaign. If you can solve the ruleset problem, then you're welcome.

Not too much harder, I don't believe. It's likely to arrive before we begin, actually.

However, while I don't know what these new feats are like, I don't like the idea that you can only take them at first level, and (in the case of humans' bonus feat), only once.
I don't like that you can only take them at first level, however, I can see it as necessary, given the power level of the new regional feats. The same applies to the "only take one" bit. These feats are not on the level with the ones presented in the Player's Handbook, they go beyond those in power level. Several of them turn feats from the PHB into "I only need this as a prerequisite".

For now, wait until I finish something akin to what the Sage is working on(schoolwork, I mean ), so that I can send out the information to all interested.

Yep I can agree with you there. I'd like it if some were accessible later but I understand the whole power thing! (Thanks for the clarification, Bookwyrm)

Yeah!!! Happy Bounce...okay should I make one with a 1st level class or just the standard gloaming (If I took a class, that'd make her effective a 3rd level character, which may be a bit unbalancing if everyone else is at 1st?)
I'll try to send you her background/stuff in the next few days!
Side note: I have to encourage: School first! I'm sure most of us can wait! (Just be prepared for lots of random postings.) |

| Ok got the SRD now. Gonna send you the background story soon Lady Kazandra. Will the lvl we start at be based on what ECL the other PC's has. For example, if Fireheart made a Gloaming 1st lvl something or other she would effectively be a 3rd lvl character. Can us others who don't intend to use a race with an ECL start as 3rd lvl fighters or rogues or something else ? |

Help??
Okay, Arivia...not to make your life more complicated, but I think I have to take at least one class level (making the character an ECL 3) to actually play her. I can't figure out how to make the character with the just the gloaming levels? How do I get hit points, skills, weapon profs etc? There doesn't seem to be a good way. (Insert frustration scream here...)
Okay...so unless you have a major objection, I'm going to make her a 1st level character class. And take the hit on the XP until we get to 4th Level. What that means, is I'll start with 3000 xp and won't be able to increase a level (taking me to a 2nd level character) until we recieve enough xp to reach 6000xp (or 4th level if no ECL). Does that make sense? Is that okay?
Thanks!!

I'm sorry Bookwyrm . . .
Maybe, in an effort to make it up to you, I could steal some of Sage's precious Realmslore, and send it over so you can add it to your ever-growing dragons' horde .
You do have one don't you?  .

Okay. The information should be headed out in the next day or so.
Salabasha, you're welcome to join.
However, I do need Salabasha and Cherrn's email to forward the guidelines to them.
Bookie, I've lost yours, too, so if you would, notify me of yours, that is if you're still interested. |

All I need to know are three things...
1) Is it over Aim?
2) Does it matter what alignment we are?
3) Does anyone have Unearthed Arcana 3.5? |

Salabasha,
Since I think Arivia's in class, I thought I'd help out and to answer.
1)I think we're looking at email to start with.
2)Arivia said no evil.
3)I do have UA (You do mean the D&D book, not the Monte Cook system right?), but it's at home. I can probably answer any questions you have tonight.
Hope that helps!

1) So we are going to do this by emails? Or just start things off in email and then go to message?
2) No evil?!!? CRAP! (What about neutral?)
3) Yes, the book, not that... other thing O_o |

Emails, I think so...since Arivia's located in Canada and will have 6 players located in the US, Australia, Denmark and Portugal (8 players and United Arab Emirites if Muadib & Bookwyrm (who's US) decide to join)...can you imagine trying to coordinate times for AIM?? (Talk about a global game though...how cool is that!)
I'll leave the second question to Arivia...I'm not sure.
In that case, yes, I do have UA, and if you've got specific questions, I think I'm allowed to answer them here, w/o posting the entire book of course!

BtW, don't worry about the book. I was going to use it only if we were allowed that of evil characters. However, I have a good aligned class in mind. This campaign isn't going to be exalted is it? |

Yes, I certainly have one, Lady Kazandra. Not exactly growing by leaps and bounds, but it's there.
(That's the problem with being good-aligned. I can't raid and pillage to increase my horde. Well, since I'm chaotic, I can still . . . pick up a thing here or there. ) |

Greeat...I'm one of those who needs sleep...so ya'll just have to carry me along if I'm not awake. Although with the amazing time variances that we're going to have, it may not be a problem at all.
Arivia - Did you decide what to do about the ECL/level differences? (re: Chern's question) Or is that in your "info" packet that's coming? I know you said you wanted to start at 1st level but since you're going to let me play a gloaming (thank you, thank you, she bows at feet!!)...it might be a little unbalancing to have me with my ECL 3 and 4-5 1st level humans/dwarves/elves floating around?
Thanks!

Well, it'll appear in there, too. Essentially, though(and this may seem rather oddly unbalancing), I've gone with the following.
- A starting character must be ECL 3 or lower.
- A starting character may only have 1 HD.
And what does this mean? Well, essentially, new characters as of now may only have one(Yes, one) class level. However, you may play a race with a level adjustment of +2, but no additional hit dice.
So, this leaves the normal races, the planetouched, gloamings, drow, orogs, and a variety of other options, but doesn't allow for a player to play a derro or such.
quote:
but since you're going to let me play a gloaming (thank you, thank you, she bows at feet!!)
I'm frankly interested to see two things:
- How a gloaming's unique philosophy will interact with the denizens of the Marches
- And how the character will have traveled across Faerun from Sphur Upra.

| Well, Arivia, this truly seems to have become a bit more popular since we last talked. My choice for a PC will be a halfling rogue (a nice change from being always elven). My idea is that he comes from Amn, and is an ex-member of the Shadow Thief guild. Questions, comments, concerns about such a PC? Also, I'm awaiting your informational e-mail...

Cool thanks. I just wanted to make sure. Another question: Starting Cash...FRCS says treat as character level but since you're actually only allowing 1 class level for the normal races..should we all start with beginning cash for the class instead?
As to the two things...me too...
-a character that prides itself on individuality and at the same time is innately curious...hmmm could be fun...
-from Sphur Upra to faerun..well, a lot depends on where in the Silver Marches you start the campaign. Since Sphur's a city both on the plane of shadow and material plane (IIRC). I know there is a portal to somewhere on the surface detailed in the UnderDark book. (I just have to find out where that is!) I'm sure I could have taken that portal to get to the surface...now how I get from that location to where you start...that's a story...

HELLO CANDLEKEEP! I been a while since my last post.Man its great having my Comp working again. OK now on subject:
I was just wondering if you were still accepting players into the group. I would like to join your group. Im pretty young(16) and im fairly new to the dnd scene(been playing for 3 years), and ive been looking for a chance to get into a game with some experianced people.
I would really enjoy playing with your group. I have also played for a few months on IRC. If you already have a full group then I understand but if you dont mind i would like to view some of your sessions. Please respond.
