Within the valley a few days travel from the ocean a tension fills the air. Several groups including anarchists, holy men, and, dissidents seek change within the Great Kingdom. Life within the village is becoming harder as new arrivals disturb the harvest and some have begun to steal crops and slaughter livestock.
Character Generation
Characters are to be first level.
Stats will use 32 point buy. I don't expect to see any scores under 8.
Core sources are fine, but may be houseruled. Other sources are case by case basis. Non-WoTC material is banned.
Elves are greatly discouraged for they are considered by the setting's masses to be the lowest life forms on the planet. This is true to the extent that an orc would be much preferred as a house guest than an elf.
Monks do not face the multi-classing penalties presented within the PHB. The loss of a Monk level to another class is detrimental enough, restriction of multi-classing is too great a penalty. Likewise the monastic tradition is strong enough in the world that monk characters would be welcomed in all monasteries as fellow seekers of nirvana (enlightenment, not the grudge band) with few exceptions.
Any characters with an Oriental Adventures (or their replacements in the Complete series) class or features will have to have some tie to those lands of the game world.
All characters will start with 250GP. Monks should invest in belt pouches to hold their leftover gold.
Should you seek a prestige class or feat that you have not the prerequisites and find yourself unable to attain them (racial limitations, seemingly errant requirements, special conditions, etc...) come to me and ask for an alternate requirement, if I agree with your position I will allow you to take the feature under different terms than those presented in the source.
Races
Non-monstrous races (races acceptable as PCs) no longer have racial bonuses to skills, instead any race with a bonus of +2 or higher will be considered to have that skill as a racial class skill, subject to the normal costs and limitations of class skills. The exact changes to PHB races are as follows:
Dwarf racial skills are Appraise, Craft (anything to do with stone or metal), however, they do not recieve the ability to detect irregularities in stonework just by passing nearby.
Elf racial skills are Listen, Search, and, Spot, however, they do not get an automatic chance to discover secret areas simply by passing near them.
Gnome racial skills are Alchemy and Listen. Hobbit, erm...
Halfling racial skills are Climb, Jump, Listen, and, Move Silently.
Orcs are much like Half Orcs as presented within the PHB only with their attribute bonuses doubled and the addition of a -1 penalty to attack rolls in bright light
Humans being versitile can choose two skills to become permanent class skills.
Half elves and half orcs are not available. Humans simply aren't that freaky.
Anything not covered above can be brought to me directly for approval.
Kobolds are a player race in this campaign. Kobolds IMC are statted as thus. -4 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Cha, Darkvision 60', Natural Armor 1, Light Sensitive, automatic languages of Common and Draconic, racial class skills of Craft (trapmaking), Profession (miner), and Search, favored class of Sorcerer. LA 0. Kobolds have access to Races of the Dragon material. Kkobold characters automatically gain the Kobold Leadership feat.
All PCs may choose a [Death] feat for free at chargen.
Make all of your character choices wisely, as soon as play begins they become irrevocable.

Would a duskblade with Precocious Apprentice be acceptable?
