I6: Ravenloft (adapted to 3.x) - OOC Thread - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

If you could post them, maybe I'd consider a switch? Are there any unique races as well?

Thanks for checking it over and for the reminder on the buckler.

I could swap out Weapon Focus for Improved Buckler Defense (CWar, allows buckler to AC while using that hand to attack) but if it's OK I may instead swap the buckler for the following from the MIC:

armor crystal of screening, lesser (incorporeal touch attacks are at -5), MIC, 1k
boots of landing (take 2 less d6 of falling damage and land on feet), MIC, 0.5k

I was tempted to play a nonhuman but I'm afraid the feat requirements on this character are too much to do so.

armor crystal of screening, lesser (incorporeal touch attacks are at -5), MIC, 1k
boots of landing (take 2 less d6 of falling damage and land on feet), MIC, 0.5k

I'm okay with these items.

 

[Jemal]

OOH, I like those boots.. I'm gonna snag a pair of them as well. Betwen Jump, Tumble, and those my guy can jump off a 40' building with no ill effect. Now that's cool.

BTW, How do you run Nat 1's on skill checks?

 

[Rhun]

If you could post them, maybe I'd consider a switch? Are there any unique races as well?

I'll get them posted, but probably not until tomorrow night.

The only "unique" race in my homebrew are the Taramari, a race of cyclopskin. They are an old race of skilled warriors, learned scholars and able seaman. They dwell mainly on their island nation of Taramar, where they are ruled by a wise and benevolent senate. I believe they are +1 level adjustment, but I'll have to check my notes.

With that said, some other races are fairly common and less "monsterous" in my homebrew:

While many harbor traditional prejudices against the orcs, the orcs have actually esablished their own realm; The Kingdom of Khurl. While the still behave somewhat like traditional orcs, they also trade with some other realms, and so orcs are seen fairly often, especially in port and trade cities.

Asarand is the nation of the hobgoblins, and while warlike, they are fairly well respected among most civilizations. Asarandi mercenaries can command high prices, and their craftsman (especially their armorers) are in great demand.

As previously mentioned, the Empire of Uldarr is one of the largest nations on the continent, and a melting pot for all races reptillian...lizard-folk of all types, yuan-ti, kobolds (though most lizard-folk depise kobolds as much as humans and others, and treat them as a servant class), and others all dwell here. And because of the sheer size of the empire, this assures that its people are often found in other realms for trading, travelling and other purposes.

There are also 4 subspecies of human, though they are all the same as far as abilities and such are concerned. Only appearance and mannerisms differ.

Also as I mentioned before, I designed my world to be very modular; a place can be found for almost any race, if someone has a certain desire to play something specific.

 

[Rhun]

Strahd, Ares looks pretty good. However, he should get 1 more language, since Tieflings get Common & Infernal automatically.

Also, I can't make sense of your skills; they are really hard to read. Would you mind reworking them in the following style for me:

Appraise +6 (2 ranks, +4 Int)
Balance +8 (1 rank, +5 Dex, +2 race)
Jump +4 (2 cc ranks, +2 Str)
Etc, etc, etc...

 

[Rhun]

BTW, How do you run Nat 1's on skill checks?

Per RAW:

Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not an automatic failure.

Unless he lands on some spikes or something!
