DnD 3.5 no-magic setting, lvl 1

[Myth and Legend]

Uh-oh, missed that. Gladiator or military, choose one. An ex-military Gladiator is not a lvl 1 fighter by any means, the bonuses for Gladiator will be more the valiant warrior one-on-one approach, while the Roman army will have the disciplined Greek approach (early roman arms and armour are made in greek fashion, they are rumored to be descendants of Troy so...)

 

[Theroc]

Gladiator then. I mentioned military, because I hadn't been quite certain what sorts of weapons I was going for. Anyhow, I'd like a Gladiator-based character, I think.

 

[Myth and Legend]

[sblock=Rome (Gladiator)]Choose between:
1) Masterwork Trident and one Net
2) Masterwork Longsword
3) Gladiator's Galerus (unique shoulder armour ): +2 Armor AC (stacks and can be worn with regular armor)

Unique: Roman gladiators are fierce warriors, and while few are granted their freedom before they reach a legendary status amongst their peers, escapees are not unheard of, and those who manage to do so fight with severe drive and skill. Roman gladiators may take the Experienced Duelist feat even if they do not qualify for the prerequisites.

Experienced Duelist: You are very proficient in fighting one on one, and using terrain to your advantage.

Prerequisite: BAB+4, Proficient with Martial Weapons

Benefit: When being threatened by no more then one opponent in melee, you receive 1/2 your character level (to a minimum of 1) in attack bonus and AC bonus versus that opponent. Furthermore you may use improvised weapons versus that opponent without a penalty.

Romans (Gladiators) may choose one of the following feats for free: Agile, Athletic, Endurance [/sblock]

Also improved the Gaul unique feat slightly.

 

[Theroc]

This is what I have so far. If I needed a special format, I couldn't figure it out, so I figured getting something posted was more important.

[Dragonwriter]

Ugh. Much as I hate to do this, I'm afraid I'm resigning from this game. Sorry, but I just don't have the creative drive for this character any more.

I'll still read it with interest, but I won't be participating.

 

[Voda Vosa]

I'll be posting my character soonish.

 

[Myth and Legend]

DW is there any particular reason why you god discouraged? I know you wanted your feral man concept originally. We can redo the fluff and still have you play the same thing, mechanics wise.

 

[Dragonwriter]

It's mostly a lack of creative drive. I just can't seem to get myself to sit down and work on the character sheet. And it isn't just this game... Ask Theroc how long it took me to put together my warlock for his upcoming arena.

I still like the concept of the game, and the concept of the character, but I just feel like I'm getting bogged down in the rules. And when that happens, it seem like a good idea to not get involved in more games. Like I said, I plan to read along, I just won't be playing along.

 

[Voda Vosa]

What weapon is the sarissa? I know it's a spear, but I'm asking in game mechanics. A guisarme? A galivie?
