[STILL RECRUITING ALTERNATES] Lobo's Eberron Game

[COLOR=Red][b]For the moment, these are placeholders... these aren't set in stone yet.[/b][/COLOR]
[b]Players:[/b]                             [b]Alternates:[/b]
 1. Elocin                            1. Tor L'Tha
 2. Ankh-Morpork Guard                2. DEFCON 1
 3. tyrlaan                           3. Tailspinner

  * [u]Accelerated Feat Aquisition[/u]: I like feats. I feel that they add
    a lot to the game but that the average character doesn't get 
    enough of them. Feats are gained at the following levels: 1, 1,
    3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, & 19 
    (yes, that's two of them at first level).
  * [u]Attribute Increases[/u]: I like how this reflects a character's 
    growth over time... but I think that it happens too slowly. 
    Attribute points are gained at the following levels: 3, 6, 9, 12,
    15, & 18
  * [u]Starting Skills[/u]: Each character will recieve 4 extra skill
    ranks at first level. These ranks should be used to purchase skills 
    relating to the character's background (i.e., Samwise Gamgee's
    Profession: cook skill).
  * [u]Regional Characteristics[/u]:
      - Regional Classes (these count as favored classes for XP 
        penalties).
      - Regional Feats (your 2nd level 1 feat must be one of these 
        regional feats).
      - Regional Skills (these all count as class skills no matter what
        your class is).
  * [u]Experience Aquisition[/u]: I'm an instant gratification sort
    of guy... and due to the message-board medium, I'm accelerating
    the rate of XP earned. XP will be earned at double the standard
    rate. 
    - Treasure will also be earned at a double-rate... but it may 
      take a different form. I'm toying with the idea of paying all
      surviving PCs via thier contract with the Treasure Hunting 
      consortium. And then anything found on adventures belongs to
      the consortium... but can be purchased from the consortium 
      (i.e., PCs get first dibs).
  * The Half-Orc no longer has a CHA penalty. Instead it suffers a
    -1 Racial Penalty to Bluff, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, & Sense 
    Motive skill checks.
  * we will be using a non-standard [b]Sorceror[/b] class. All 
    sorcerors will gain bonus feats like Wizards do; but the feat
    must be a meta-magic feat. Sorcercor's will not suffer increased
    casting times due to using metamagic.
  * We will be using a non-standard [b]Fighter[/b] class. Please use
    the Fighter class detailed in Andy Collins' website for his 
    personal campaign. ([URL=http://www.andycollins.net/Campaigns/Umber/umber_player_introduction.htm]Find it HERE[/URL])
    You'll need to scroll down to the bottom and read under the heading,
    FIGHTER.
  * [b]Weapon Focus[/b] now has a +4 BAB prerequisate instead of a +1. 
    Fighters can circumvent this restriction via thier class ability.

 * [u]Allowed Alignments[/u]: ANY... this is something of an
   experement for me. Play any alignment that you like but your 
   character HAS to be able to work with the group and HAS to 
   be friends/have personal ties to the rest of the group. No 
   inter-party stealing please. No inter-party combats please.
   Note: Paladins will not lose thier paladinhood simply because
   thier best childhood friend happened to grow up to become 
   Neutral Evil. Should that character wantonly kill or steal 
   from those the paladin considers innocent, he should speak 
   up though. 
 * [u]Allowed Classes[/u]: Any class from the System Reference Document 
   (including XPH), Eberron Campaign Setting,  Unearthed Arcana, or
   Arcana Unearthed. If you want to play a class from another source
   please ask and email me the class text/level progressions (see my
   email address above).
 * [u]Allowed Races[/u]: Any race from the System Reference Document 
   (including XPH) or Eberron Campaign Setting. If you want to 
   play a race from another source please ask and email me the race 
   text/ECL/level progression (see my email address above). That 
   said, I'd really like it if most players chose to use the 
   standard Eberron races.
 * [u]Allowed Feats[/u]: Any feat from the System Reference Document
   (including XPH), Eberron Campaign Setting,  Unearthed Arcana,
   or Arcana Unearthed (magic feats for AU magic users only). If
   you want to use feats from another source please ask and email
   me the text (see my email address above).
 * [u]Starting Level[/u]: Choose one of the following.
    - 2nd Level: 32 point-buy
    - 3rd Level: 25 point-buy
 * [u]Starting Hit Points[/u] Max Hit Points at levels ONE and TWO.
   1/2 maximum hit points +1 for level 3 and higher.
 * [u]Background[/u]: Please provide a background for your character
   detailing the following:
    1. How your character knows the other characters (ALL PCs SHOULD
       BE KNOWN TO EACHOTHER). All PCs should respect and have personal
       ties to each other.
    2. How you arrived in your present circumstances.
    3. Where you come from.
    4. What your family is like and your current standing with them.
    4. Three or more possible plot hooks you might want me to explore.
