[QUOTE="russiannick, post: 5655667, member: 6681147"] -I'm going to try to run a game via skype. I see it's been done. This will be my first time running online, so I want no more than 3 players, but would consider running for a party of two. I know 4 is more normal but I think it will be easier to run online with fewer players. At least to start. The game is very, very role play heavy. Don't make a fighter with no personality or "Gerry the generic cleric the human healing machine". -Time I live in China. This is GMT+8. I'm not sure of a time yet. Let's see who we get and what works for others. Setting Irrisen A cold land. A land ruled by witches, a land without summer, a land of mystery and magic. You will not be natives of Irrisen however. The game starts, cliche I know, at a small tavern located near the border of Irrisen, but actually on the side of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings. For various reasons (back story people!) each member of the party needs to sneak over the border into the strange land of Irrisen. In addition to a private, personal goal, the party will also have a shared goal. -Suggestions for classes-These are just some reasons you might be going to Irrisen. Alchemist- There are many rumors of strange chemical phenomenon associated with the endless winter of Irrisen, and little has been written about it. A few specimens from the land could provide a life time of study, and a great deal of wealth. Bard-There are old songs and saga, lost in the land of the Linnorm kings that still survive among the more archaic and traditional dialect of the Irrisen Ulfen. Barbarian-Obviously the wildlands and epic strange beasts of Irrisen attract the barbarian. Cleric-The land of Irrisen is clearly in need of a missionary. It is ruled by an evil witch Druid-The druidic tradtion in Irrisen is old. Very old. Most of the druids are savage races however, and have lost contact with the druid circles outside. Perhaps now they need to be reconnected. Cavalier-This is a poor choice. Horses need food, and the snow means they will bog down. Fighter-Irrisen has poor relations with it's neighbors. And will occasionally tike on soldiers of fortune. The pay is rumored to be quite good. Inquisitor-Witches are said to flock to Irrisen. Perhaps a witch you have hunted has fled across the border. Monk-Although there are no monk traditions in the land, monks often travel to high mountains and seek isolation. Irrisen is isolated and mountainous Feel free to come up with new additional reasons for what you seek in Irrisen. -Suggestions for races Ulfen Humans will blend in the best with the locals Gnomes are more common than normal, reflecting the fey history of the region Dwarves are more common than normal as benefits their hardy nature Half Orcs are more common than normal as many Orcs do serve BabaYaga and her witches Elves are rareer than normal. Most elves find long winters very upsetting and depressing. Half elves are also rare. Tieflings are more common than normal, as some witches are also Diabolists Changelings are rare, as hags are respected and allowed to mingle freely with the inhabitants of Irrisen. Some families even appretentce their children to hags. -Suggestions for character creation Any class from CORE or Advanced Payers Guide Core Races and some others. No monster races. (tieflings must take the trait infernal bastard) 25 point buy (Irrisen is tough!) 2nd level (max hp both levels) Standard starting gold Choose 1 trait from the 7 below and 1 trait from the books -Traits Hag Touched Somewhere in you past there was some hag blood. You get +2 to Will Saves versus all female casters. You have a small defect such as a webbed finger or a strange birthmark. This does not have to be visible to passers by. Strong Drinker You have a massive alcohol tolerance. You can not be drunk, and alcohol actually gives you resist elements cold 1. This means you never suffer penalties for cold weather as long as you have a drink. Temperatures below -10C do effect you as normal. On the run You are wanted in your homeland for a crime, or getting someone knocked up, or something. You have no choice but to flee into Irrisen. You get bluff and sense motive as class skills. If they are already class skills, you get +2 to bluff and +2 to sense motive Animal friend Choose a class of animals. Birds, Mammals, Reptiles. You may use the spell "Speak with Animals" once per day with that class of animals. Also that animal will have a "helpfull" attitude toward you. Sixth Sense You see dead people. Well not really but...You can cast 'detect undead' as a spell like ability once per day. You have +1 dodge AC vs undead. This is a good trait for a paladin or undead hunter. Merchant Apprentice You were apprenticed to a smith at one point. Appraise and a Craft are always class skills for you. You receive +2 to EITHER appraise or craft.
