[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9576894, member: 6999616"] I'm calling it 1.2e now because one of the five characters has been rebuilt from being a 1e Ranger into a 2e Ranger. That comes out closer to what the player wanted. The character is a follower of Aldrya, the Gloranthan goddess of plants, fertility, elves and related species. D&D magic-user spells didn't really fit her, and while some of the druid spells did, a heavily customised clerical spell list was better. She's half elf, half dryad. Being a Rune Lady of Aldrya would suit her best, but is not practical in Avalon. [I]All[/I] the characters in the campaign have custom spell lists. We have: [LIST] [*]This ranger following Aldrya. [*]A paladin of "The Knowing God," a religion that seems to have started as a side-effect of a plot by an evil supernatural creature, but is not evil at all. [*]A ranger/cleric of Artemis, the Ancient Greek goddess of nature, hunting and virginity. [*]A priest of Mammon, god of trade and wealth. [*]A magic-user specialising in missile magic. My notes on many of our fights end "... and then Rama blew it away." [/LIST] We retrieved the body of the last of the twelve fay lords who have been a major plot element.
