Ok.  Let's get chinese, I'm buying, I'll need 3 weeks to get prepared."3 weeks later we were presented with the world.  Not many magic users at all, I mean very little.  The BBEG was a witch who was the consort of a demon but she was only 5th or maybe 6th level.  We found a couple of "hedge wizards" in our travels most of their "magic" was little more than non-magical illusion and snake oil.  The priests were mostly holy men without any real casting power.  The hedge wizards were good at putting together herbal remedies that were very weak potions but that was about it.It was very different but the campain was well suited (tailored even) to the class we picked.  Yes undead were scary as hell when they weren't just skeletons to hack up and yes we had issues with traps, however, the one time we were really expecting a lot of traps we found a theif who came along for a share of the loot (and I'm pretty sure it was more like 3 shares but we never caught him.)It wasn't as hack-n-slash as you'd think because we didn't have healing to fall back on so we only went into combat if we couldn't talk our way out of it.So after all this, I'm thinking I may present the following options to the players....You must all either be the same class or all one of the following races...ElfHaflingGnomeDwarfGolliathAssimar If you pick Assimar, I'm going to ask that you all play exaulted characters but I'll give you all a bonus exaulted feat to sweeten the dealI'll allow multiclassing for the single class game but I'm dropping non-favored class penalty because you can't be closer than 2 levels behind the "single class" I'm going to start either game at 3rd level so the players can multi-class once they've leveled up so they'll have one level where they are all definately the same class.They'll probably pick same race.  I have ideas for the campaign for each of the race choices.  The class choices are a little more tricky, but I have ideas for each "category".  I'll present this 1 month before it's my turn to DM so I'll have time to prepare.If they play golliaths I'm going with Yak Folk as the primary antagonistic force.  Yak Folk are devious, evil, and well, they are walking, talking, magic-using yaks.</blockquote>
