Welcome to Gaia! ::

You come across some information being that the young lord of the town you are currently stopped in know as Brewdon, is looking for strong and brave individuals to locate and retrieve a certain object. The information being spread tells nothing of the object or its origins, however it did displace an idea of the reward. Th actual amount as been fudged from the info passing from person to person but in every version the mention of platinum. Will you bite? Or take flight?



Resources: Version 3.5 DMG, MM, and PH as well as the complete adventurer.

Starting level is 3, race restrictions are anything that gives a level adjustment higher then +2 which would put you higher essentially to the rest of the group. There are no alignment restrictions.

House rules: Do not worry about spell components nor prepared spells. As far as I'm concerned if you know it you can cast it when ever. You will however be limited by the number of spells castable per day.

Ability scores: Either roll six six sided die keeping the top three and do this for each stat or take a total of 36 stat points to destribute among your ability scores.
Example of how its done with the second option:

str 8
con 8
dex 8
int 8
wis 8
cha 8

thats how you start, then you add points to them.

The amount of points needed to raise an ability score is equal to the ability modifier with the minimum requirement of 1 point, negative scores don't ADD to the amount of points you get to spend =w=. The maximum ability score you can have is 20 *not including racial modifs*

examples:

str 14 +2 need 2 of your 36 points to make it str 15 +2

Example of the highest even stats

str 14
con 14
dex 14
int 14
wis 14
cha 14

No one is allowed to reduce an ability score lower then 8 unless its due to a racial modifier.


Starting gold/equipment: Each of you will have a total of 1k platinum to spend however you want OR you can have 1 and I mean 1 item of your choosing with 1 major magical ability/special purpose/3 minor magical abilities and 500 gold to spend how you please.

If you have any questions or feel I left something out please let me know :3

Are those the only books, you have or can we ask on other things outside those books? I mean if we can get you a complete write up on a class or feat, and not just a summery of it, could we take that class instead?

I am just wondering, no matter your answer I have 6 characters in mind.

Would the SRD(System Reference Document), for the 3.5 system, work as a write up? Or stuff from Wizards website?

Also, I know someone else is going to ask, what about home brewed? I always have one or two people ask, about them in my games.

And one question for my character,

Can I be a half-ogre from Savage Species(3.0)? If not how about Races of Destiny(3.5)? Ether one is fine with me, I just never understood why the LA risen between 3.0 and 3.5.


The differences (thanks goes to Eric-dono for the write up)

*Savage Species version:
*This one is a race, born from human and ogre parents.
*+6 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Int, -2 Cha
*Large
*Speed: 30ft
*Darkvision 60ft
*Natural Armor +4
*Giant Blood: Considered Giant for using giant weapons and magic items with specific giant powers. (and for Favored Enemy-like effects)
*Automatic Languages: Giant and Common. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Goblin, Orc, and Abyssal.
*Favored Class: Barbarian
*Level Adjustment: +1

*Races of Destiny version:
*Same as Savage Species but for the following.
*Giant type instead of Giant Blood
*Level Adjustment: +2

The only reason I asked was, I wanted to play a large character. Not many dm's allow that, because of most large characters have high LA and hit dice to boot...

But, you said no. So, I am back to the drawing board. I would ask about a Artificer but that is way to much to write out...

I will think of something.

Not really, I wanted a large character to try some of the feats that only large characters can take... Rock throw, Fling ally and Fling enemy.

Don't worry about it, Like I said I have a few characters in mind. I just have to chose one.

Do you do reroll 1's on either ability score or HD?

5, 1, 1, 5, 5, 4 = 15
6, 3, 4, 2, 4, 2 = 14
1, 1, 2, 5, 3, 2 = 10
4, 1

12-9-10. the dice crapped out on me.

Time to find a race with a nice modifier...
