First Post
I am wanting to start a 3.5 game online using maptool. I am looking for one player to round out a two player group. I have pretty extensive DMing experience but this will be my fist time Dming online.
We are looking to play once a week on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The time has not yet been established.
3.5 Gestalt 2nd Level (reference Unearthed Arcana)
2nd level starting gold as per the dmg (look up "wealth" in the index in the back)
2nd level exp, and i'll list sources below.
There will be a few changes to the typical gestalt system (Unearthed Arcana) and a few changes to house rules and the such. These I'll list below as well.
Sources:
Com Warrior, Arcane, Divine, and Adventurer ONLY
PHB, PHB 2, DMG
Monster Manuals 1 and 3 ONLY
Spell Compendium
Races of the Dragon, Races of Stone, Races of the Wild, and Races of Destiny ONLY
House Rules and Changes:
No Leadership feat.
No Item Creation Feats. When these abilities are granted by a class instead you gain a Bonus Feat that can be selected from the PHB.
No Familiars, Cohorts, Companions, Special Mounts, Hirelings, or Followers of any kind. When these abilities are granted by a class you simply do not gain the class ability (this includes pets purchased). Yes this does make some classes better than others, but then again this is why you are Gestalting.
No Class Variants or Class Ability Variants
No Racial Variants (BUT subraces ARE allowed)
Characters need to be created in www.thetangledweb profiler section.
Characters must be COMPLETELY finished before each game commences.
Players can keep whatever other copies they want but during the game I will be using TTW for characters so make sure to have them completely up to date.
When a class grants you the same class ability OR class ability progression, you take the better of the two, they do not stack. (Example: Barbarian's Uncanny Dodge, and Rouge's Uncanny Dodge, you would not get Imp. Uncanny Dodge, you would only get Uncanny Dodge from ONE of the classes, the other is simply lost) (Example: Rouge's Sneak Attack, Spell Thief's Sneak Attack, you would pick which class's Sneak Attack Progression is better, not both, in this case I think it would be the Rouge's)
NO MULTICLASSING, you have to stick with the two classes you pick.
When adding a Prestige Class, you only add that one class, and all other rules must be followed when prestiging. Adding Level Adjustments from races follows the same exact rules as prestige classes. (Example A: If you start a race with an LA of +1 then you can have only one gestalt level. Example B: Goliath Barbarian/Druid 1)
Characters must be heroic. Dark Heroes are ok as long as they are mostly there to do good for the world.
I am lax on the rules usually only when it comes to making the story and game play more fluidic or enjoyable. Otherwise most 3.5 rules will be followed for game play.
NO RULES LAYWERS !!!
Potential players will be interviewed through either AIM or email.
One other thing. Players are expected to know thier characters and know thier rules. I will be assuming the role of a storyteller more than a rules laywer. This is not to say I won't be ruling on rules every once in a while. If you are having problems learning paticular rules I am willing to help but when it becomes too much I will be putting my foot down.
So if you have any questions drop me a line on Aim nytwrytr, email me at Nikroesis@hotmail.com, or hit me back up on this thread.
