The former hero-king, Naramyr Wyrmslayer, has fallen from grace. On his forehead is the Eye of Profane Truth, the indestructible artifact prophesied to reappear every 500 years, always to bring great slaughter and turmoil. He has raised a great and terrible army, and even worse, his profane magics bends and corrupts the fabric of creation itself.
You are the creations of the Great Overgod, the Perfect, every one of you wielding immense power, his intended generals and proxies in the oncoming conflict - for he, himself, is unable to directly interfere in the mundane world without breaking it. It is a testimony to Naramyr's power that even as you are created from the purest of divine energies, your souls are corrupted by evil...
This is intended as an epic game, set in a custom world. Truth to tell, I do not have most of the elements of the campaign down - I intend to make it up as we go along. Any suggestions, plot hooks, etc will therefore be welcome.
Players will be expected to post at least once per three days. Three days without action and I will NPC you. One week and I call in a replacement.
As this is a primarily Evil game, I intend this to be a game for mature adults, and there may be adult content. Those that are not comfortable with this need not apply. Also, I swear upon my sacred DMing hat that I will not bluebolt anyone for anything they do, ever. There will be consequences for your actions, certainly, but they will be kept realistic in game terms.
Character Generation:
-4 characters, plus 4 reserves. Selection is based on first to have complete characters.
-40 point buy.
-Max first HD, 75% the rest.
-Neutrals and evils only. I would prefer at least 50% evil PCs.
-level 30
-wealth 5 million
-no psionics (I'm not familiar with the rules. Too lazy to learn.)
-no templates. Only races with "LA +x" entries will be allowed.
-no custom items. Items will be as-is from the books.
-no epic spells. Too game-breaking.
Books allowed:
Core
ELH
'Complete' books
Book of Exalted Deeds
Book of Vile Darkness
Savage Species (items, spells, and prc's. Not monster progressions.)
Fiend Folio
MMII
MMIII
Races of Destiny
Races of Wild
Libris Mortis
Miniatures Handbook
For the 3.0 sources, get the 3.5 update booklet from the WoTC website.
Dragon magazines, and anything from the WoTC website other than the update booklet will not be allowed.
House rules/ fixes:
Skills:
Checking skill points for level 30 characters... is a pain in the ass. So everyone will get Able Learner (Races of Destiny) as a bonus feat. Essentially, cross-class skills can be purchased at 1 point/rank, though the limit on ranks still apply.
Time Stop:
There is a hard limit on the maximum duration of Time Stop: 5 rounds. Metamagicking is allowed, but any duration over 5 rounds counts as 5.
Gate:
Max HD = caster level.
Wish/Miracle, Limited Wish:
Regardless of whether this is a spell, spell-like ability, Supernatural ability or even Extraordinary ability, the XP cost always applies. Summoned/gated creatures cannot be compelled to Wish by any means - though negotiations are possible.
Mordenkainen's Disjunction:
This spell will be removed from the game, because I'm sure you will all want to keep your magic items around. All references to this spell will be changed to Reaving Dispel (Complete Arcane), which no longer has a cap on Caster Level. Reaving Dispel can now pierce Antimagic Fields like Disjunction.
Weapon of Energy:
This spell cannot be used with Permanency.
Massive Damage:
All Epic characters/monsters are immune to death from massive damage. Nonepic characters are affected as normal.
Followers/Cohorts, etc:
No followers or cohorts. It's hard enough running a single character at level 30.
The following items are removed:
Core: Dust of Sneezing and Choking, Mirror of Opposition
BoED: Starmantle, Retributive Amulet
CA: Thought Bottle
MiniHB: Belt of Magnificence
Nightsticks are allowed, but the effects of multiple Nightsticks do not stack. The same limit applies to Ioun Stones and any other unslotted items that grant an unnamed bonus.
The following prestige classes are removed:
Illithid Savant
The following prestige class special abilities are removed. If you still wish to play these classes, alternative features can be discussed.
Cosmic Descryer: Cosmic Connection
Perfect Wight: Shadow Form (drawing power from shadow portion only)
Frenzied Berserker: Deathless Frenzy
Vermin Lord: Hive Mind
<to be updated as necessary>
Finally, if you want your character to do anything that is even remotely shaky rules wise, it would be wise to ask me first, before the game starts. Powergaming is allowed - nay, encouraged, but anything of gamebreaking proportions will be houseruled away.
Players:
Silentspace
Nephtys
Pyrex
Albedo
