Hello folks,
Ever since I read about the Feywild it intrigued me. I decided to incorporate a jaunt into a fey plane of my own creation in the current campaign... We started last week. I have looked through a lot of boards and have found only a little on the fey or the Feywild, so I will post the adventure here as it happens, for those that are interested.
Note that this was moved over from the plots and places board. Also, I did try and explain storyline as needed, as this is only a portion of a larger campaign, but please ask if I mention something you are wondering about. Comments, suggestions, and feedback are always welcome.
We play D&D 3.5e, with very few houserules.
[sblock=House Rules]Dying: RAW to -9; at -10, instead of dying, the PC is 'mortally wounded' - continues to bleed (if applicable), loses 100xp/level, but can be healed/stabilized normally although they will be unconscious for 5 minutes.
Weapons: we use the weapon group rules from Unearthed Arcana, although we added slings to basic weapons.
Bleeding: If you go below 0 by bludgeoning weapons you are not bleeding. Not quite sure where that came from, but we've played that way since I started and everyone was surprised when we realized it wasn't RAW LOL.
Hmm... I feel like I'm forgetting something but that's all I remember right now.[/sblock]
Idea Sources
I read the fey entries in the MM and also the section on the Feywild from the 4e manual of planes and have drawn inspiration from them. I am mainly, however, drawing my ideas from the old fairy tales of sinister beauty and tricky fey, such as those found in Andrew Lang’s colored fairy books. I also have borrowed and stolen from Raven Crowking's faerie thread and I am reading the Complete Guide to Fey (SRD-compatible), which is very interesting - I haven’t used much of it yet but I plan to. I intend to keep the PCs on their toes.
[sblock=PCs]There are currently three PCs, although the third one missed Session 1 and the session just before it. Levels listed are their levels when they entered Faerie.
8th level Drow Paladin of Heironeous with a homebrew version of the Celestial Bloodline (ECL 11), fights with a large sized holy longsword, sheltered/naive in many ways (the character not the player)
10th level Hadozee (intelligent ape-like sailor from Stormwrack) druid with a homebrew version of the Blue Dragon Bloodline(ECL 11) and a huge-sized crocodile companion, prefers to fight with spells/bow and generally uses his wildshape only out of combat
10th level elan psionic warrior/psion (not sure how much of each TBH), with a homebrew version of the Blue Dragon Bloodline(so ECL 11); mainly uses psionic powers that boost damage/attack and dualwields bastard swords.
Note that all of the players are male, and all of the characters are female. So if I get a bit mixed up in the he/she thing, please understand LOL.[/sblock]
