Eschaton OOC

I'm interested in running a high level PbP game with some experimental features. The structure of the very homebrew world may take some effort to wrap one's brain around, but will allow PC's to have simultaneous interactions with each other across worlds. Hopefully this will help ameliorate the glacial pacing of PbP.

Each PC would be an established member of a multidimensional society. Characters would have titular control of their own world (or similar resources). Although the Leadership feat itself won't be allowed, each PC will have a staff of spirits (outsiders, undead, etc.) chosen by the player. I'd like input from interested players before setting the CR distribution, however. Templates will be allowed on spirits but no class levels.

My intent is for the game to be intrigue and RP. But given the power level of the campaign I expect a fair amount of creative and tactical use of kewl powerz will come into play. There may even be some PvP, but True Resurrection will be freely available and society's powers-that-be frown upon soul destruction/soul capture.

This is a game for mature players only. Those who might be offended by profanity, graphic violence, or sex should look elsewhere. That said, PM me for permission before any post that involves non-consensual sex. Rape of other PCs will not be allowed under any circumstances.

Instead of standard experience progression, characters will receive a major boon at the conclusion of each 'storyline' (or more often at DM discretion). The boon can take the form of and artifact, custom ability, powerful follower or something similar; player picked but subject to DM approval.

Character Generation:
-ECL 17 for full casters. ECL 18 for character with up to 8th level spells/powers. ECL 19 for up to 7th ... ECL 21 for characters with spells/powers of 5th level or below.
-40 point buy
-Standard wealth by level, with 980,000gp at 21st.
-Max HPs at 1st, 50% after that. Round up on even level and down on odd ones.
-Subject to DM approval/adaptation any 3.5/3.0 d20 resource is allowed. This includes Dragon and non WotC products. This also includes D20 Future stuff, just ask me for pricing. -Submission of custom material is also encouraged so long as it isn't broken. Physical augmentations that don't stack with polymorph/shapechange will come with a signifigant price reduction.
-Certain items will have adjustments to their price. Grafts will be cheaper, rods of absorption will be much more expensive.
-No pre-game crafting with the exception of an artificer's crafting reserve.

Character Submission Guidelines:
This is not a first come first served game. Characters will be selected on various criteria most notably, how well the character concept fits the world and perceived posting reliability.

Feel free to go fairly nuts on the stat crunch. But please clearly explain any "dirty tricks" being used. No recursion or 'nanobot' builds. I will probably give extra stuff to less optimized build to help address balance issues.

Again, custom material, especially races, is ecouraged. But the goal of custom stuff should be flavor not power.

Let me know if you have read any novels set in post-scarcity worlds. Examples include Walter Jon Williams Aristoi and John C. Wright's Golden Age trilogy. Both are highly recommended as background material.

PC's are expected to be at least mildly proactive. Charactersubmissions should include an agenda as well as the standard background personality etc.

Intro fluff and world notes

Dizorxthon had lost patience with reliving the same battles on various planes. It had been an obsession lasting three and a half subjective centuries. Since the conquest of M'zzlorca Prime, a campaign in which Dizorxthon had lost its first life, it had devoted every moment to re-fighting a war that could not be won.

Upon reincarnation, it had found others of races previously unknown to him who chafed under the bridle of the meta-civilization known as Eschaton. As a reborn autarch Dizorxthon fought on a sub-1% likelihood "past" dimension as part of a coalition of independent races resisting interstellar dominion. And even in that improbable scenario, it and those with whom it fought alongside were slaughtered. Again and again. Yet, even after that hell, it found rulership even more bitter.

Where others might have taken solace in Citizenship and mastery of their own world, Dizorxthon could only agonize that in founding a new colony within Eschaton it aided those who had brought low its people. At first there had been some hope that old wounds might be healed in founding a paradise of sorts for its own kind. But if there was one thing it shared with the general populace of Eschaton, it was a distaste for tyranny. Dizorxthon was eager to share the powers of government equally among all M'zzlorcani. Those born after the conquest of their old world soon came to outnumber those who remembered. And so it came to pass that other races were allowed to settle and share fully in the bounty of the new world. In a matter of a few decades, the character of the planet had changed utterly, absorbed into the star-spanning multidimensional culture of Eschaton.

Yet, in this vile turn of events, a new opportunity arose. As founder of an arising Governed world, Dizorxthon was granted a new vista, its own pocket dimension. Here it could re-create its home in exact detail, or indulge in variations large or small. In earnest the war was fought again countless times. And despite all that Dizorxthon had learned of all things martial, despite stacking the deck favorably in various subtle ways, always the same results occurred in the end, as they had in the original catastrophic conflict.

Its obsession of centuries tasting of ashes, Dizorxthon ventured upon the higher planes in search of some other way to prevail. Beyond paths of shining iridium and cold fire, passing enchanting deadly perfumes and living thoughts, it reached Atziluth Nexus. In a grove of trees singing sweet praises, attended by lovely, androgynous devas, whose feet did not harm the flowers they trod, reclined the Knower of All Paths. If Dizorxthon had been human, the figure before it might have had the head of an elephant and danced with grace among his attendants. But Ganesh, here, appeared somewhat similar to Dizorxthon's own form. Like its own, his "torso" was a translucent hypercube but skewed forward as a rhomboid. Symmetrical branch-like limbs also extended from the acute angles. But unlike Dizorxthon, there was an impossible complexity to the pattern of the god's limbs. Moreover, they shifted subtly in a hypnotic fashion.

"It is a sad day when stubbornness becomes hubris. Yet fecund with possibility when the latter finally gives way to reason."

Dizorxthon bristled at the god's remark, despite its friendly, elegant tone. "But is there yet hope?"

"Hope? It is the simplest of matters to rejoin your kin at a point previous to and never leading to Eschaton contact. But you will not choose that path."

"No, better enforced subjugation than subtle surrender."

"And better to look forward than back in any case" replied the deity.

"We can still win back independence?"

Ganesh's forelimbs twitched in the equivalent of something between mild annoyance and a shrug. "In meaningless pockets only. But those who brought about the fall, and in countless timelines continue in the conquest of many worlds beside your own can be dealt a measure of comeuppance."

"How can this be achieved?"

The tips of the god's forelimbs spread in a smile, "Listen with care scion of M'zzlorca ..."

Here are some notes on Eschaton society to mull over while coming up with character concepts.
-Far-future where magic (esp. harnessing of spirits) is dominant over traditional technologies in human space. Nanotech and many forms of advanced physics are also relatively common, but human space is nearly as dependant on spirits as current society is upon oil.

-While humanity makes up only a fraction of society (Several thousand races), they are much of the impetus towards expansion.

-The civilization is spread over some 3 trillion worlds and continues to spread rapidly. Such is the rate that every resident can be given titular control of an entire planet after 100 years.
The core or ‘Governed’ worlds have a highly democratic policy-making apparatus and are obligated to maintain numerous rights and a millionaire-esqe standard of living. While many other worlds strive for these standards, the only requirement, demanded of even the most barbaric, is that any sentient that dies is allowed to transmigrate to any other world that will accept them.

-The bureaucracy of Governed worlds and Eschaton central government is made up of numerous committees and subcommittees. Most of these groups frame ballot questions upon which the larger population votes. Others investigate or perform advisory functions
Although there are many exceptions, Eschaton society has three castes: Spirits, Autarchs, and Citizens.

-The Spirit caste is composed of sentient but soulless beings. In addition to traditional spirits such as elementals angels and demons, many AI’s and fabricated life forms fall under this category. While many such entities are vastly smarter than the average human, all their actions are ultimately predictable as none can act against their nature. As the lowest caste, Spirits receive few if any social benefits and are often pressed into long contracts of indentured servitude.

-Autarchs (literally self-rulers) for the middle rung of Eschaton society. Most Autarchs have a substantial estate, a bevy of spirit servants, physical immortality, and communal access to world-spanning telepathic net and instantaneous Gateway system. It is this class that administers the government of core worlds and spearheads the growth of the most successful colonies. Those who are judged by their piers to have provided “a century of meritorious service” graduate to the Citizen caste.

-When raised, Citizens are provided with an entire planet, a small army of Spirits, and control of a Gateway system. But many Citizens find such colonies to be a gift built on quicksand. Any planet capable of supporting life eventually develops a somewhat godlike world-spirit. While rarely openly hostile, these entities can cause a lot of trouble if crossed. Also, mainstream Eschaton society is not well known for loyalty. Autarchs who agree to help found colonies generally do so to promote their own agenda. Many Citizens content themselves with population solely of Spirits. But such civilizations lack a certain spark and tend to be ignored by greater society. Other world-rulers abduct or recruit free-willed beings from other dimensions. While mass-abduction is considered completely barbaric by polite society, tyrannical Citizens are allowed to do so and even use mass-mind control.

-A multitude of quasi-legal star-faring civil organizations work to curb the more barbaric Citizen practices. Judicial Committees tend not to interfere with such disputes so long as such groups remain subtle and Citizens contain their actions to their own domains.

Level: Cleric 5, Spite 5

Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This unsettling spell enables you to
make deadly weapons of your own
arteries and veins. Once the spell is
cast, your blood takes on a mystical
potency that makes it more corrosive
than the strongest acid to anyone who
draws it from you. From then on,
until the spell’s duration has elapsed,
anyone who deals slashing or piercing
melee damage on you is sprayed with
your blood in retribution. The blood
deals a cumulative 1d6 points of damage
per attack upon your attacker,
with no save or spell resistance
applicable, up to a maximum of 5d6.
Thus, the fi rst time a foe hits you with
a slashing or piercing weapon, he
instantly takes 1d6 points of damage
from the sanguinary backlash. The
second time that same foe strikes
you, he takes 2d6 points of damage.
As soon as any single foe has taken
5d6 points of damage in a single
spray from your corrosive blood, the
spell ends.
Opponents striking you with magical
attacks that do not manifest in a
slashing or piercing manner, or those
striking you with only bludgeoning
weapons, do not trigger the retributive
blood spray.
The arc and direction of the blood
spray is magical in nature, and the
spray does not splatter adjacent
squares or parties, no matter how
close together they might be. Each
spray strikes only the one responsible
for the wound.

Casting Time: 1 standard action; see
text
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: Permanent; see text
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
By casting imprison soul, you place the
subject’s soul in a receptacle, such as
a gem, ring, or some other miniscule
object, leaving her body lifeless. While
trapped, the subject takes 1d4 points
of Constitution damage per day until
dead or freed. The rituals to prepare the
receptacle require three days. Destroying
or opening the receptacle ends the
spell, releasing the soul.
To cast the spell, you must know the
name of the target. The receptacle must
be within spell range and you must
know where it is.
Material Component: A portion of the
target’s body (a fi ngernail, a strand of
hair, or some other small part).
Focus: A Tiny or smaller object to be
the receptacle for the subject’s soul.
Note: This updated version of this
spell supersedes earlier published
descriptions.[/sblock]

Range: 20 ft.
Area: 20-ft.-radius burst centered on

plague of undead [sblock] Necromancy [Evil]
Level: Cleric 9, dread necromancer 9,
sorcerer/wizard 9
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: One or more corpses within
range
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell unleashes great necromantic
power, raising a host of undead creatures.
Plague of undead turns the bones
or bodies of dead creatures within
the spell’s range into undead skeletons
or zombies with maximum hit
points for their Hit Dice. The undead
remain animated until destroyed. (A
destroyed skeleton or zombie can’t be
animated again.)
Regardless of the specifi c numbers
or kinds of undead created with this
spell, a single casting of plague of undead
can’t create more HD of undead than
four times your caster level.
The undead you create remain under
your control indefinitely and follow
your spoken commands. However,
no matter how many times you use
this spell or animate dead (see page
198 of the Player’s Handbook), you can
only control 4 HD worth of undead
creatures per caster level; creatures
you animate with either spell count
against this limit. If you exceed this
number, newly created creatures fall
under your control and any excess
undead from previous castings of this
spell or animate dead become uncontrolled.
Anytime this limit causes
you to release some of the undead
you control through this spell or animate
dead, you choose which undead
are released.
The bones and bodies required for
this spell follow the same restrictions
as animate dead. All the material to be
animated by this spell must be within
range when the spell is cast.
Material Component: A black sapphire
worth 100 gp or several black
sapphires with total value of 100 gp.[/sblock]

In its natural form, an imp stands almost 2 feet tall and weighs about 8 pounds.
Combat

Imps are craven, but not so timid as to pass up an opportunity for a surprise attack using their invisibility and alternate form ability. In its natural form, an imp attacks with the wicked stinger on its tail. It quickly flies out of reach if a foe manages to strike back effectively.

An imp’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Poison (Ex)

Injury, Fortitude DC 13, initial damage 1d4 Dex, secondary damage 2d4 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.
Spell-Like Abilities

At will—detect good, detect magic, invisibility (self only); 1/day—suggestion (DC 15). Caster level 6th. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Once per week an imp can use commune to ask six questions. The ability otherwise works as the spell (caster level 12th).
Alternate Form (Su)

An imp can assume another form at will as a standard action. Each imp can assume one or two forms from the following list: Small or Medium monstrous spider, raven, rat, and boar.

Could be very, very interesting. I'd have to say I'm iffy on the concept of Epic - it tends to cause more headaches than it allows. Mind giving me a little time to work on a concept?

Dude, I am totally in! This reminds me, in spirit at least, of a very cool game where the PC's all played nascent gods... Sadly the game folded, but it had some awesome potential. And I don't mean similar in terms of power level, but rather in terms of the focus and the emphasis on RP and resource management over combat and bling.

Smee. I shall post an entry as soon as I can cobble the crunch.

Im also interested.

Some kind of Jade Phoenix Mage will be my most likely submission.

Thanks for the interest so far! I've included some additional info in the intro posts.

I´ve started working on a character and wanted to post the skeleton of it now to give you the chance to say if you´re having any problems with it before I start working on the details.
