I will wing it for now. Since my players might see this (unlikely, but hey) this will contain no info that they don’t realize, except a few “how I did it” mechanics. Anyway, it is a King Arthur style campaign a la "Legends of Excalibur: Arthurian Adventures" from RPGObjects. There are a lot of classes and prestige classes in there (more on this later) and the only classes not in there that I allow are: Fighter, Rogue, Barbarian (but you need a DAMNED good explanation if you want to pc one), Arcane Trickster, Commoner, Expert, Aristocrat, Warrior. Note that the Hedge Mage is the only allowed type of Arcane caster (some prestige classes can stack these arcane spell levels), so no Bard or Assassin. The latter four allowed classes, as well as the Black Knight, are NPC only.They are in Ireland and Arthur is a fairly new king, well established in England, but Ireland is fairly wild still. King Anguish is nominally King of all Ireland, and loyal to Arthur. Oh, and it is early enough that Morgan le Fay and Mordred are seen as good guys, as far as most people know. Lancelot has just arrived on the scene and is impressing everyone. But that is far away, in England.Part of this game is looking at the cool prestige classes and sort of “aiming” for them. With that in mind, I have Prince Hammond, a noble going for Purple Knight (royal messenger-type); Prince Caius, a Knight/Rogue (I allow him to alternate because he is…) going for Red Knight (a few arcane spells); Toby, a Yeoman (archer type) later Knight, later Green Knight (wilderness; rage); Sir Andrew, a future White Knight (some hermit spells, just plain noble); Sir Anton, future Blue Knight (servant of a lady of the lake, breathes water, some druid spells); [All very Power Ranger, eh?]; and later additions are Leanne the (secretly) elven Minstral (might try for Lady of the Lake), and Christina the Hedge Mage (trying for enchantress).Since I can’t rely on players showing up, I take the completely unrealistic route of saying that any players that can’t make it have their characters kidnapped and taken to Queen Titania’s fairyland. KISS, baby! That said, when the players return I usually do a “mini” set on what happens to them there (no more than 5 minutes, though), and then back they go to Ireland.Ok, Prince Caius is the third son of King Anguish, but the elder two sons have been missing for a while on quests. Toby is one of his servants, and the other knights are pledged to Anguish (except Hammond, in exile from his own land for stating at a party that his stepmother was an enchantress).</blockquote>
