[Epic D&D] Peace No More (Full-Again)

votes/concepts:
Pervias: lvl 30 Sorc
Sollir: lvl 30 Wiz
Victim: Lvl 33 Assimar sorc/paladin (Asimar ARE on chart 2-4, as a + 1 lvl adjustment)
GPuppy: lvl 30 cleric/monk
Arknath: Lvl 35 Druid
Emerald: Cohort (LVL depends on Epic Leadership Score, probably Epic lvl.)

OK, I'll go with lvl 32 then. Cohorts will be played by recruited people (Such as Emerald). Before I start recruiting for them, though, I'ld like an estimate of how many we'll need.. Start working on your characters, and anyone who's planning on taking leadersship+Epic Leadership, or who's thinking of it, pls post that so we don't have to wait for all the PCs to be made, then come back and make the Cohorts.

Party History: It would be easiest for me as a DM if you had some reason to trust each other, so I'ld prefer it if we could all work up a bit of party history/why you're all together. If GPuppy has a diff concept (Like he said), then his character could be a new addition or something.

Alignment restrictions/Preferences: I'ld really prefer it if everyone was the same on the Good/Neutral/Evil Axis, so there's no alignment conflict. I'ld PREFER Good.

Char Creation:
lvl: 32. That lets you all look forward to gaining a feat when you lvl up.

RACE: To Victim and anyone else who wants to play a race with a lvl adjustment, You'll have the same XP as everyone else, but I count Special races as having lvls in that race, so you would basically be a lvl 31 Sorc/Paladin, lvl 1 Assimar. And no, you can't take more lvls or less lvls than the lvl adjustment from the chart, it's just to keep XP in line. You also would be lvl 32 CHARACTER lvl, so max ranks is still 35, and you'ld still get a feat for being lvl 33 when you lvl up.

XP: Enough to put you halfway between Lvl 33 and lvl 34. The Extra XP you can either keep, or use on item creation/spellcasting(Wishes, Permanency, etc)/epic spells.

Stats: 48 point buy, (Don't forget the 8 ability Increases from lvl. I'ld like everyone to keep track of how each stat gets to where it is.)

HP: Max first lvl, 3/4 after that (d4=3, d6=4, d8=6, d10=7, d12=9).

Equipment: as per the ELH for lvl 33. Can't buy anything that costs more than 1/3rd your starting gold. Also: No rings of elemental immunity exist in this world unless you create them yourselves.


Creating Cohorts:
These will be done by whoever plays the Cohort. I'ld like you to choose class/race yourself, not just do what the guy with Leadership tells you. For now We're not recruiting cohorts (Until we know how many we'll need), But I'll leave this here so I don't have to write it in later.

LVL depends, as normal, upon the Leadership score, and whether they've got Epic Leadership in addition to normal. Without Epic leadership, the highest Cohort lvl will be 17, so I'ld highly suggest advancing it to Epic if you're planning on going that way.

HOUSE RULE: any Cohort whose lvl exceeds his leaders max cohort lvl due to Leadership score during gameplay becomes a PC and ceases being a Cohort.

XP: Enough to put you half-way between your starting lvl and the next highest lvl. The Extra XP you can either keep, or use on item creation/spellcasting(Wishes, Permanency, etc)/epic spells.

Stats:
44 points, standard pont-buy (Plus ability increases from lvl)

HP: Same as PCs

Equipment: As per an NPC of your lvl (NOT a PC) times 1.5, Same spending limit as PCs.



Now that that's out of the way, I'll address Epic Spells. They're ok by me, but you'll have to e-mail me all the details, and I'll do the Spellcraft role to see if you can create it.

Anything else?

Few questions...

How does Intelligence increases work for skill points in your game?

When druids wild shape (without masters of the wild) is their equipment still in effect (I know the PHB says no, but you're the DM and it will determine what types of equpment I purchase).
 

Questions: What all do you want from us, and where do we deliver it? Character sheets are assumed, but what about histories, et cetera? Also, post character sheets/histories here, or email them, or what?
 

I would like to be Arknath's 15 lvl ranger cohort. Since I am not epic level would that change the point buy or any of the other cohort specs for my character? Also, what exactly is the difference between a PC and a Cohort in this game? In the games I have played the player who took the leadership feat alway played the cohort so it was very much a "I do what my leader tells me" role. Will it be the same here?
 

If you've room for more, I'd like to join. Personally, I'd liek to see soemthign start at about level 20 or 21 -just barely Epic- and then go from there.

I agree whole-heartedly with the "Core Rules Only" idea, and woudl be intereted in playing a Monk, perhaps a Fighter.

Just caught something: Most of that implies starting level 33, whereas it's pretty clear starting level is 32... Did you mean what I think you meant, or what you said?
 

Arknath - Unless you (Or whoever ends up playing the cohort) are planning to keep him/her COMPLETELY out of the combat, s/he'll die in the first combat encounter if s/he's lvl 15 vs CR 30+ creatures/characters. I'm not trying to tel you what to do, just warning you.

Unlike Constitution, Intelligence Increases are NOT retroactive, they begin working on Skill points when they are acrued, not before, so you'll have to keep track of which lvls you increase your int at. ALSO, only Permanent Intelligence increases (Wishes, Tomes, Lvl bonus) affect Skill points, not Temporary Magic (IE Headband of Intellect)

Wild Shape supresses magical effects from items, yes, but only for items that affect your physical being (enhancement bonuses to STR/Con/Dex, Armour, etc). Other stuff SHOULD keep working such as skill bonuses and so forth, but I'ld need examples if you wanted to know abou anything specific.

GPuppy - That was a typo, Everything that says 33 should say 32. (Equipment for lvl 32 chars, and XP half-way between 32 and 33)

Thain - Sorry, but we're full up for PCs..

Leaders/Cohorts - Cohorts in my games are either relatives, close friends, or people who follow you for some other reason. The reason depends on the Leader, and the relationship between you is what determines how the cohort responds. The cohort is in the hands of ITS OWN player, but depending on the relationship, may take orders from the leader.. He/she will most certainly see suggestions and advice from their leader, and favours, etc.
When in doubt, Cohorts, Just keep in mind: s/he is your leader, and you are his/her follower.
