[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 949722, member: 3103"] I'm about to start a Midnight campaign. (I can't brag on that setting enough.) The players will get to choose their characters from 4 pregenerated 1st level commoners. The commoners are all from the same village and are of roughly the same age. Once the characters are ready to go, we will run through an intro adventure. This will include two people close to the characters being killed as a group of orcs and thier legate masters enter the village. (Think of Midnight as a low magic setting where Sauron got the One Ring and civilization is in decline. Orcs are led by corrupt human priests called legates.) As certain NPCs get killed off, the town will go into revolt and attack the legates. The village will be destroyed and the PCs will be forced to strike out in search of a new life. Most likely, they will join the resistance groups who fight against the dark god, Izrador and his minions. Once the PCs hit roughly 500xp, they will be able to take their first real level. They will get x2 skill points in their new class, a feat, special abilities, and their Heroic Path*. * Heroic Paths are specific to Midnight. In a "rare magic" setting, the characters get special abilities as they go up in levels based on whatever theme you choose. This makes up for the lack of magical items floating around. [/QUOTE]
