Any other starting occupation in addition to the military occupation (gained @ 2nd level). Please note any changes from D20 Past. Wealth: I am going to do away with the 'modern' wealth system. We will use the monetary system of the period (I.E. pennies, shillings & guineas) The conversion values are here: 1 Guinea : 20 Shillings : 240 Pence1 Shilling : 12 penceWhich I think is easy enough?... As for starting equipment - just list what you want and I'll go through it, though I don't suppose you'll have much baggage anyway. In-game shopping will be done on a 'case-by-case' fashion until I can compile a list & prices - which may be extortionate due to war/availability. Any ideas are welcome on this point!!NOTE: You will all get issued 'gear' from the army, so you only need worry about your personal belongings. Classes (see D20 Past for updated 'terminologies') - as we go along, depending on how you playout your role, I shall either let YOU create your own PrC's, or make up some customizable templates for you to use. I was thinking PrC's like 'Sniper', 'Sapper', 'Skirmisher', 'Heroic Leader'?.. Maybe even something like 'Forlorn Trooper' - 'The Forlorn Hopes' were the battallions who were sent first through a breached wall, usually into a hailstorm of cannon, canister, musket & pistol shot! It was their job to get in, slaughter, and hold the walls for the main troupe - without getting torn to shreads that is! Characters: Like I said in the initial post - interesting, deep, fleshed out characters is what I need. A good description, not just another bland face in the crowd. Personality - bring him (or her - A french WOMAN actually gained the rank of Capitain, and remained 'undetected' until her death at the age of 80 odd, during the Napoleonic wars!). Give them some quirks and stuff - drunkard, womaniser, prude etc, etc. I find the smaller details make for a better RPing session. You'll also find it easier to play your characters. Background - full & fruity! As much stuff in here as poss. Don't hold back! If it suits your character - mention it!; Friends and foes, family etc. Most importantly, give you reasons for joining.I'm not sure WHERE or WHEN to start the campaign exactly, but with the information I have, I'd be more comfortable starting in the late 1790's. Again, I'm not sure how practical it'd be to start you off in Britain - it took 3 months aboard ship to get to india - But I'll worry about that hurdle after I've got your Backgrounds, and of course, what you guys want!I think that's it. Shout at me if I've missed anything, and hopefully we can get this show on the road soon!</blockquote>
