Thanks for all the ideas, folks - I'm certainly starting to get a much better handle on how to make this thing work! It looks like at the start I'm going to need to focus as much on recruitment and training-up (and generating funds somehow) as I am on actually setting up on...

Ooh. That's a really interesting idea and I like it! You can do quite a lot with the rogue class - I might even allow people to mess with it a little bit if they wanted, so characters are somewhat more customizable within that. (For instance if you wanted to switch out sneak attack for another...

:cool: Mmm, yeah, barbecue. I shall see if I can pester Peter about feat choice for his cohort! ;)

Thanks for the link Psion - definitely a useful read! :D

I'm not very good at imaginative curses/oaths, but I'm trying for my Midnight PC. :) In the Planescape game we have a real rat-bastard DM and I find myself swearing a lot, usually only semi-in-character. Our DM tapes the games to write them up as storyhours, and my PC is a worshipper of the...

Hmmm. I'd need to find some businesses, then. (S'mon - wasn't Adam Dickinson about to be released from jail? I wonder if Leo could put me in touch.) Interesting. Like it - very Cailin. :cool: Yup... certainly not above that... Query: is this a PC-run organization, or an NPC-run one...

Hehehe. this is good to know. (Thnaee, I shall be coming back to you! ;) ) Sure thing - certainly hadn't expected it to be an immediate solution as i'm going to have to figure out how to generate some revenue before I start frittering money away. (Just out of curiosity, would that "cheapest...

Those of you who've seen a thread or two of mine might know that I'm trying to put together a swashbuckling campaign. I have a great setting and a lot of really cool ideas - but none of the rulsets I own or have access to really capture the "18th century pirates" flavour and feel that I want...

BlackMoria - you're right, I don't have the people for this just yet. One of my major objectives here is going to be recruitment and training, because I'm going to need more people. Your suggestion for a structure works for me, though - thanks! In a structure like this, the actual scouts I have...

Oooooooooooh. That's PRETTY! (Expensive, though, I bet. And would it flash when there was a new message? :D )

Cool. My ranger cohort has Animal Messenger as a spell (divine casters in S'mon's campaign spontaneous-cast) which I took with the very intention of him being able to keep me apprised of things, or (if he's with me) me being able to report to my liege or my forces. Right now communication is...

Ooooh - thanks Thanee! (I knew coming here was a good idea.) Certainly the force I'm working with now is based on regional defence, though from my point-of-view this project is a jumping-off point for much bigger and better things. :D Right now I have allies in at least two regional leaders -...

Thanks, I'll have a look for them!

Hmm, I'm not sure how common bards are - but they certainly exist. :D Nice idea! I'm probably going to pick up some pearls of Sending that are keyed to me - I have some money and an "in" with the local wizards guild - and make sure that each of my scouts has at least one. :) That way they can...

Just curious. It's one of the things I'm never entirely sure about in-game - I swear quite a bit in real life, but when my characters curse, it always gets me funny looks. On the other hand, one of my characters is an ex-military scout who's looking to rejoin the army in a commanding role, so...

My 12th level rogue has just picked up Leadership, and along with her ranger cohort she is negotiating taking over her liege's scout force. There are about 20 scouts available, mostly rangers, rogues, and ranger/rogues, running from 1st to 8th level. Ultimately, I want to create an unrivalled...

I may have to pick up Midnight and have a look at the system at some point, then. It might need quite a bit of tweaking to get the flavour I want but it's certainly a place to start! Thanks! :)

Another potential change: Instead of 3 + ability mod, character level + ability mod? Even with the bumped prerequisites and restrictions (first level only), is that too powerful? I'm not too sure how to put together a feat-based system, and I think going beyond first level spells with feats is...

Thanks for the thoughts, SB. :) Talent is an isolated feat - spellcasting will be based on classes rather than a feat system, mostly because I'm not sure how to put one together - but I wanted to have it as a prerequisite for the Witch class. Similarly Faith will be a prereq for the Chosen One...

Mmm, with a few twists - I like my "dead lands of the Fey" idea! - that might speak to the Evil Purpose of the Alexandrites. Perhaps Kzarul used a demonic minion to destroy the fey lands, and the Fey managed to launch a final counterattack that sealed it in the Grey Lands. Now the Alexandrites -...
