Message: <blockquote data-quote="DWARF" data-source="post: 1160973" data-attributes="member: 863">a bit of an addendum;Firstly, I'm looking to make the characters either in or involved with a very influential noble family in a fairly large kingdom.  As a result, they'll have a lot of resources at their disposal.  Starting level will be between 3 and 7; depending on the character.  I'm kind of burned out of games where the players are all nobodies with no money fighting a great evil while the kings and governments can't really do anything about it.  I want a game where goverments and armies are facing the dragons and monsters, and the characters will be a part of that system.Do realize that I don't really care about "balance" between classes or races.  Faen will get half hit points, Sprytes will get a quarter the hit points, as compared to a medium sized combatant, and Giants at full size WILL get double hit points.I'm also altering races so Giants get +4 to Str as opposed to +2, Litorians get +2 to BOTH strength and dexterity.  Some other races may get different bonuses, or removal of their drawbacks, like the Verrik, I'm considering removing their -2 to Cha.I don't like balance, I don't want it in a game I run.  Some of the best and most memorbale characters are the unbalanced ones.  In my game, Giants are really strong.  Is it fair?  Who cares about fairness in the rules, I'm there to run a game where it's set up as "Giants are stonger, what are you going to do about it?"  or, "A single high-level wizard could decimate a city if properly prepared for it, so what are you going to do when one wants you to empty the city coffers or he will destroy the city?"While every race can be any class, that hardly means that they'll do as well as another race.  The games there to be fun, but the system I want for this campaign where the world is set up as a harsh, unfair place.  If the players want to be heroes and try and bring about a "balance" or "fairness" as they see it, okay; but I'll also allow them to be despots as well.</blockquote>
