Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ishamael" data-source="post: 24077" data-attributes="member: 318">I posted this in House Rules, but it doesn't seem to get the same traffic as it did since "The Great Migration".anyway..I was working on my new setting when inspiration struck me. Who else would be interested in putting together a campaign setting similar to the way Deamonforge was done?The world is a bit "grittier" than others. Kinda like Ravenloft meets Dark Sun meets Greyhawk meets our own possible future. Magic is very rare, while psionics is only slightly more common. Even rarer than Arcane magic, is Divine magic. The gods have all but left the world (Though the pantheon is not yet defined.)War is also a huge part of the setting. Many, if not all of the existing nations are in at least some state of conflict. Either with other nations, or the Legion, a goblinoid army from the north.Rules: As stated before, Spellcasting is very rare. The Sorcerer is a prestige class that anyone with 4 ranks in Knowledge: Arcane can get into. Paladins are the only class capable of divine magic. To balance the Sorcerer (who actually learns and casts spells like a D&D Wizard), they gain access to healing spells. However, their healing spells do not actually heal hit points, they convert them to subdual damage.Very likely Ken Hood's Grim and Gritty system will be used. Those not familiar with it should really check it out. See here: <a href="http://www.sleepingimperium.rpghost.com/downloads/GrimNGrittyHitPointRules.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.sleepingimperium.rpghost.com/downloads/GrimNGrittyHitPointRules.pdf</a>As you read through some of the "history" of the world, some will seem a bit familiar. I am attempting to put together a fantasy world that, on the surface, is very different from our own, yet actually takes place about 2,000 years into our post-apacolyptic future. If I may use such cliche terms. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm looking for individual's capable of taking ideas and running with them. Let me know if you are interested. We can discuss it here or by e-mail.Here is a bit to wet your appetite:Table of Contents: (So far...)Chapter 1: The Crucible HistoryDay in the life of…Chapter 2: Characters Races Humans Dwarves (Droman)Elves (Prane)Halflings (Hinolians)Half-Elf (Praris)Half-Dwarf (Drale)Classes Barbarian – not changedFighter – better skillsRogue – not changedMystic – psychic monk replacementPaladin – minor changesRanger – no spells, major changesGifted – psychicFeats Regional FeatsEquipment New Weapons, Armor and EquipmentPiecemeal armor rulesNew metals and materialsPrestige Classes Sorcerers  - only arcane castersChapter 3: Way of the Warrior Grim and Gritty CombatMartial Arts RulesChapter 4: The Supernatural The Faith – paladin rules and the godsPsionics – skills and feats systemMagic – changes to spellcasting and spellsMagic & Psionic Items – new stuffChapter 5: Geography and Cosmology AmriaKardonVectorSalistanChrimshaTargisMondraelThe LegionThe Planes (Ethereal, shadow, Astral)Chapter 6: Appendix New creaturesExerpt from HISTORY <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
