Now that the 5.1 srd is protected via cc, I was wondering what a minimalist setting would be like.
Imagine a world with only the pantheons listed in the srd, one that is so dominated by religion that all PCs begin as acolytes. One where grappling is highly emphasized and made a point of pride (not everyone has this feat but there are no other feats). One where all clerics are clerics of life, all sorcerers are draconic, all dwarves are hill dwarves and all humans are standard humans (I guess the bonus feat for variant humans is not as big a deal anyhow if it is the same feat), all warlocks make a pact with the fiend (I guess it gives something for the evil gods to do since all clerics are clerics of life), etc.
Basically stick as close to the srd as possible and build the world based on that.
What would such a setting be like? What would you do with it?
I am imagining a sort of WWE world of wrestlers trash talking and extolling the glory of their faith as they do so.
