[QUOTE="greycastle, post: 904132, member: 11130"] well, obviously i havn't put my intentions across clear enough, because while theres pleanty of very good ideas, i just don't see anything along the lines of what i was thinking, though i was thinkin a little along the d20 modern rules a little... I was thinking of playing a game along the lines of Magician style (Raymond E.Feist) or Huge Cooks Series (specifically the Walrus and the Warwolf, the Wicked and the Witless)...these were 'worlds' where their were plenty of gods, but magic was rare...almost everyone was a warrior, expert, commoner, with some aristocrats *only true nobility* and enough adepts (though all would have been around very low levels)... There were quite alot of races, *thinking of magician (Riftwar Saga)* from Forest, High, Dark Elves, Hill, Mountain Dwarves, Golbins, Orcs, Wraiths etc etc. This is the type of thing i'm thinking of... From what i read, Aristocrats who were simply nobles never gained more than about 3 levels, but those that fourght in battles and campaigns, would have aquired Fighter levels. Northeners who were raised and trained in the barren wastelands would have gained barbarian levels, though losing out on abilities... The idea of this campaign is to play it to about a level 12 stage, and then start again, possibly a different world, 'normal' 3rd edition etc... While we all really love the current rules, some of us have just gotten a fancy to play something very...'crude' almost... The only thing however that we've decided on is that certian classes have no multiclass penalties...and that players starting as commoners, instantly swap out levels for other classes at lower experience costs, and so don't have 'wasted' levels Currently i'm wanting to create a character for such a campaign, to start off as an Aristocrat character *modeled alittle on Arutha* in that he could gain possibly 2-3 levels in aristocrat, then hopefully i could gain the 'faith' to go into a Paladin type class... Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
