Characters
I'm taking four players for an adventure set in and around the Storm Coast, a setting I'm pretty much making up as I go along.
Characters start at 1st-level with 450 gold to buy equipment (regardless of class).
PH, PH2, Spell Compendium, DMG, Complete Adventurer, Complete Arcane, Complete Divine, Complete Warrior, Expanded Psionics Handbook, and the variant classes and races at
d20SRD.org only are allowed. If you want to use an LA +1 race from
ExPsiH, go for it. LA +1 is worth ignoring.
Use the elite array for ability scores: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8. Don't forget to apply racial adjustments. Maximum hit points at 1st level as normal. Characters start with 500 XP, none of which can be used for item creation before the game starts.
Good-aligned characters only.
House Rules to Pay Attention To
1. Armor bonuses do
not add to AC. Instead, armor bonuses
only convert lethal damage to nonlethal damage. For example, a chain shirt (+4 armor bonus) would convert 6 points of lethal damage into 2 points of lethal damage and 4 points of nonlethal damage.
2. Magical and psionic healing work differently. The variable heals only nonlethal damage. The fixed bonus (if any) heals only lethal damage. For example, a 1st-level cleric's
cure light wounds heals 1d8 points of nonlethal damage and 1 point of lethal damage.
3. Turn undead works according to the
Variant Turning Rules: Destruction of the Undead on p. 87 of the
Complete Divine.
4. Add BAB to AC as a dodge bonus.
5. We use
Invisible Castle for dice rolls.
N.B. This isn't necessarily first-come, first-serve, but you'd really have to be obtuse to not get considered (e.g., insisting on source material not listed above counts as obtuse). Also, the party will consist of five PCs. One slot is reserved for my son Giant Boy.
