Deaths Gate - Rule's finalized, Now Recruiting! **Paging Players**

[Jemal]

OK, Assuming we've still got interested people, here's the char.creations :
12th level
34 point buy (min 10 max 18).
Race : Patryn [+2 racial bonus to stat of choice; Bonus skills as human; bonus ability at every 5th level(Choose from Fighter/Metamagic/Item Creation feat OR +1d6 Sneak attack OR +1 to a stat); Bonus feat @1st - Craft Tatoo; Spot, Listen, and Spellcraft class skills; no multiclassing penalties, Mana Pool(See earlier post)]. NO templates
HP : Max at first, 3/4 (round down) for rest.
Classes/prestige/feats/spells : Any hardcover WizCo source so long as you run it by me first. I have access to : PHB, PHB2, all Complete's, Spell Compendium, DMG/DMG2, Savage Species, Fiend Folio, Libris Mortis, Draconomicon, Book of aberations, Races of Dragon, Dragon Magic, Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds, Dungeonscape, Fiendish codex's, Book of 9 Swords, Incarnum. These I will be more likely to allow.
NO PSIONICS, NO VOWS, NO LEADERSHIP, and keep in mind the 'feel' of the Setting. If you're not sure whether something would be acceptable, ask.

Equipment : Details spread over last couple posts. Any item that is not a straight "PLUS X to Something" will need approval. I will be allowing use of the DMG item creation table formula's to figure out costs (+X to skill of choice, etc) and since we're not using 'body slots' per se, body slot affinities will be unnecessary.

Both Equipment and Magic are detailed in a recent post. Further questions just ask.

SO, who's in?

 

[krunchyfrogg]

would a Monk work?

I'm in, either way.

 

[Shayuri]

Oh hey. Sorry all...I'd posted just to mouth off about how low magic could be done. I've never read any of the Death Gate books, so I have absolutely no clue what the setting is and so on. It sounds like fun, but I'm in enough games right now I'd probably better pass on this one.

Thanks though!

SO, who's in?

ME!, ME!, ME!

 

[Jemal]

A Monk would work fine.

Shayuri - that's too bad, the feel is pretty easy to get, and I won't be basing any events out of the book, so there's no prior knowledge required.

 

[-SIN-]

So let me get this straight, IF i pick 12 levels in warrior classes, I gain 6 levels in any mage class too - for spell casting ability only, right?

So if I were a straight 12th lvl fighter, I'd still be able to cast any spell, dependant on whether I've got the Mana / make the DC check?...

Sorry, servere sleep deprevation is making my head go fuzzy...

 

[Jemal]

Yep, spellcasting as a 6th level mage-type of your choice. You'd have less mana, and wouldn't be able to do some of the harder stuff, but you'ld still be able to sling fireballs, heal, etc, and could gain their other class abilities temporarily for extra mana. (EX : Warmage you would gain Warmage edge for one spell by paying an additional Mana. Wizard you'd gain the bonus feats for one round/spell/whatever amount of time makes sense depending on the feat.)

 

[Lord_Raven88]

I'm in of course, so I'll look at creating a character to submit

 

[-SIN-]

Ok, rough outline... Let me know what you think... Oh, and please don't think 'stereo type' swashbuckler - y'know, glossy boots, tight pants, frilly shirt thing - It's more of the 'embodiment of daring & panache' and the 'skill, finess & prowess' elements I'm attracted to. Anyway, here...
