As if the competing tribes of goblins, orcs, and worse weren't bad enough. Now weird and terrible monsters of unknown sorts are encroaching on Bloodscale Clan territory. Just yesterday, Clanlord Skitter Gnomeslicer summoned you and the other Glorious Champions to a special conference. Gnomeslicer had four slaves wheel in a barrel of pickle brine in which was preserved the partially decomposed corpse of one of the strange creatures. The monster was a short bipedal creature with sharp thorn-like claws. Its shoulders, abdomen, and limbs were tinged with leaf-like tendrils. Its head had a topknot of small leaves. Not even the clan's most erudite Draconic Sages can deduce the creature's origin."Scouts have told me that these monsters have been disgorged from a gated cave at random intervals. The entrance to this place is high upon a rocky face, and sheathed in armor. This protection frustrated all attempts to explore the space beyond the metal valve...although one search party never returned, so perhaps they managed to enter but found only doom. You, my Glorious Champions, must find out exactly what this cave is, what is causing the monsters to come forth, who is responsible, and how to prevent further incursions. You alone can defend Bloodscale Clan."CharactersLooking for four players. All  characters must be kobolds. See the next post for kobold race information.Characters start at 3rd-level with 2500 gold to buy equipment. PH, DMG, Complete Adventurer, Complete Arcane, Complete Divine, Complete Warrior, and Expanded Psionics Handbook only are allowed.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 plus another 9 hit points for 2nd and 3rd levels. Adjust for Constitution as usual. Characters start with 5750 XP, none of which can be used for item creation before the game starts.We're ignoring alignment for this game.House Rules to Pay Attention To1. 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. Conjuration (Healing) spells and psionic powers with the Healing descriptor heal only nonlethal damage. Likewise for cure potions (and equivalent psionic items) and other similar items.3. Add BAB to AC as a dodge bonus.4. Your characters do not have a character class. Instead, each character uses cleric base attack bonus progression. Select two good saves. You get 1d8 hit points for each level.Instead of class features, select 4 feats at first level, plus one more feat for each level thereafter. Your character is proficient with all simple weapons but not with any type of armor or shields. The third post in this thread lists some house rule feats.You get 6 skill points per level, modified by Intelligence, with quadruple skill points at first level. All skills are class skills.</blockquote>
