A Truly Sunless Citadel

[Verbatim]

Alright I admit it, I have been bitten by the DM bug and as such I want to try one last game before I admit I am in over my head.

A dark themed Sunless Citadel game.

It will be set in the Forgotten Realms, lvl 1 chars and only Neutral and Evil chars may apply.

This being said, I do not want mindless killers and people being "evil" just because it means you can kick all the puppies you want and no one will try to stop you. I want well thought out chars because there will be a theme to this, you are all followers of Shar and someone has stolen a powerful item from her church and she wants it back. Yesterday.

I am still trying to decide on the city it will begin in, but the regions available are all open. Shar has followers all over Faerun, and while the request will come from the various "cells" of the church, the meeting place will all be the same.

At the moment, this will be a one shot adventure. It will have a definate beginning, middle, with only the end being uncertain. I plan on running the game in the spirit of the Usual Suspects, where nothing is what it seems.

If this sounds interesting, then take some time and think of a concept and we will go from there. No need to make full sheets out yet as I want to see just the idea for the moment.

Races: All core books and will consider others from the "Races of" books.

Classes: All, minus psionics. If you wish to play a cleric, you may only play one of Shar, but may choose any of her domains you wish.

Pts: When char creation comes time, it will be with a 32 pt buy.

Wealth: Max wealth for lvl 1, plus regional gear.

Feats: Standard Feats, plus you get one regional Feat for free. Shar selects the best from her crop, so it stands to reason the chars will be a little more powerful than average starters.

This is still a huge work in progress in my mind, and while I am taking six chars, I will be up front and honest and say that priority will be given to my players from the FRP game that folded. I promised them first shot if the game fell apart, and I plan on keeping my word. I do understand that this might cause interest to drop, but it is a risk I will take.

Slot #1 Hippocrachus (Sorcerer)
Slot #2 Majin (Albino Moon Elf Ranger)
Slot #3 Darkmaster (Whisper Gnome Wilderness Rogue)
Slot #4 Dhes (Barbarian)
Slot #5 GoddessFallenAngel (Cleric of Shar)
Slot #6 Ferrix (Human Enchanter)

I would be interested in playing an elven rogue. specialized in pick pocket and find/remove traps.

Wystan: What made your char turn away from the elvish patheon? What does Shar offer that makes you wish to serve her? How do you feel around those who are her "true" clergy?

I am a big meat and potatoes guy when it comes to the full scope of the char, so when I said concept, I really meant a brief synopsis of who the char is and what led them to Shar.

Make sense?

Will work on it more. Fleshed by tomorrow....

Looking forward to seeing it then..

 

[Wilphe]

A human spy/assassin

Who was an otherwise unremarkable rogue until her lover was killed by a noble.
The church of Shar gave her the knowledge, equipment and assistance she needed to obtain vengence, in return for a promise of 10 years service. That was a year ago, and otherwise she is a quiet woman unless she is working, but relishes knowledge and secrets. She originally had no intention of staying with the church of Shar beyond her "arrangement" but is slowly been drawn in as she finds aspects of it highly attractive.

Currently she is CN, but on the way to CE.

Krugg the Orc.

Krugg was brought up in Vasaa in quite an ordinary orc tribe. He liked to dance. And he liked it alot! With time, he learned how to use the dance in combat, armed with his fists, feet and even his head. The young orc decided to follow the path of Mokkra, an elder hermit living alone on the thundra. Mokkra was a Monk of Shar, and Krugg took up the same mantle; Untill one fatefull day, when Mokkra recieved a dream from Shar. She told him to send his apprentice on a quest, to retrieve a stolen artifact.


Krugg will be an orcish (not half-orc) monk, aiming for the shadowdancer prestige. (I know we probably wont play that far, but that will be his goal nonetheless.)
