Hi there,
I've a question to the Judges concerning PrCs. I'm planning to get Sir Ishmael (the Deep Halfling) to Dragon Disciple. I was wondering if its a legal PrC in the setting. If it is, I will be doing a little multiclass dance to sorc and fighter because of the halfling's favored class and the paladin's multiclass penalty.
Is there any deviation from these core rules in the game?
I "MAY" be lifting the restrictions on multiclassing for Monk's and Paladins when I get around to creating a really good rules thread.
1) As a DM, can I make things up as I go along? I'm not a Judge, so I don't know how far my power extends in this venue.
2) Where is Orussus, and what kind of climate are we looking at? I've already basically determined that there are cities south of it, at least.
3) What kind of cities are south of Orussus? Any ideas for towns or cities?
4) What is the economy of Orussus like? What kind of trade items are we looking at, imports, exports? What are the major natural resources nearby?
1) Yes you can make things up as you go along. Do try to make sure that the judges know your MAJOR goals before your adventure starts though. As long as you have a judge watching your game, you should be fine.
2) Orussus is somewhere. We need a cartographer pretty bad, or something like that. The climate is very iconic, that being something like the medieval england pictured in certain movies. Very cold winters, horrible storms at certain times of year, and heavily forested.
3) I'm not sure about where all the official cities are. I do know that Allimon is about 10 miles to the north, but there are a few other Canon cities right now. Try not to add too many cities that don't have a tavern. As a general rule, no DM should ever need to create more than one major city, and a handful of minor ones. We will eventually have rules on this, but for now your free to do as you want.
4) Orussus is relatively wealthy, having a strong economy. The wealth is fairly evenly distributed, with the poor and rich being relatively scarce. Most buying power is in the hands of the middle class. Resources like lumber are common, but we havn't established too much information. I do know that there is plenty of tin around Orussus, but I'm not exactly sure if it's cultivated any more. Imports and exports are incredibly varied though, this is a real trade city. You can find things that might not even be "known" to the rest of the fantasy world, though you'll need judge approval for anything with game mechanics involved (so have all the strange foods you want, but ask about the gunpowder).
