[QUOTE="Blue_Kryptonite, post: 1830143, member: 10949"] ----> The Hook: The extradimensional masters of the Nameless Legion (Dragon Magazine #304) have, for their own inscrutable purposes assembled a team from various worlds whose sole mandate is to enter dangerous situations and recover their objective. This team is known to the masters as the Dungeon Expeditionary Low-Visibility Extraction team. D.E.L.V.E. goes where they’re told, when they’re told… To retrieve their objective. Are there other D.E.L.V.E. teams? What is the significance of the objectives? Do you have backup? Opposition? None of your business, Delver. Suit up, you’re moving out. ----> The Campaign: D.E.L.V.E. will begin at level 5. Most adventures will be loosely strung together from my vast collection of Dungeon Magazines, modified to suit my style as a DM. The campaign will be cinematic, and have overtones of military buddy adventures and espionage/conspiracy flavouring. ----> The Rules: 32 Point Buy. 9K, half total on one item. Full HP 1st level, average after. D&D 3.5. Unearthed Arcana is used as a heavy modification. In particular, the following variants are always used: Spontaneous Divine Casting (page 64) Maximum Skill Ranks, Limited Choices (page 80) Weapon Group Proficiencies (page 94) Defense Bonus (page 110) Armour as DR (page 111) Recharge Magic (page 158) Taint (page 189) Level-Independent XP (page 214) The following are allowed: Racial paragons (page 32) Totem Barbarians and Bard Variants (page 48) Monk Styles (page 52) Urban Ranger, Wild Rogue, and Battle Sorcerer (page 56) Favoured Environment (page 65) Wild Shape: Aspect Of Nature (page 67) Spelltouched Feats (page 92) Summon Monster Variants (page 137) Incantations (page 174) In addition, I will be using Spycraft Action Dice. ----> The Characters Only hard and fast rule: No evil, no loners. These characters will be part of a team. Characters from the following books and sources will be accepted outright. Core 3.5 + Psionics Handbook Eberron Campaign Setting Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting Characters using elements from the following sources will be considered, with discussion: Dragon Magazine Dungeon Magazine Other D&D & D20 Worlds and settings (will often require backstory to be provided to the DM, including player-generated conversion work for older settings) Savage Species (case by case basis). Any Feat/Base Class/Prc/Spell/Item etc. from a source not owned by the DM will need to be summarized. Provide a concept paragraph (or two) before creating. Sorrow The Man Bear is player one, and Rules Monkey. (Rules Man-Bear?). 5 other players will be accepted, first come, first served. [/QUOTE]
