Right, I'm back
I'll have some setting information posted tomorrow or the day after, and I'll start recruitment at the same time.
In the meantime, you can level your characters up to 6th level. You get 10,000 gp to spend on equipment (no more than 6,000 gp on any one item, please), along with another magic (or psionic) item selected by me. Post the kind of thing you'd like this item to be, but be aware it's going to have an upper limit of around 4,000 to 5,000 gp in cost. If you want to see how something like this works in practice, check out one of Isida Kep'Tukari's games, as I'm
stealing borrowing this idea from her.
A bit more information on what material you can use for your characters follows below:
Races: All races from the SRD, Maenads and Blues (who now have a LA of +0 rather than +1)from the Expanded Psionics Handbook (but no other races from the Psionics SRD), and an updated version of the Kureshim from If Thoughts Could Kill.
Celestial, Demon, Devil, Elemental, Fey, and Genie bloodlines from Unearth Arcana, Aasimars, Bariaurs, Buommans, Mephlings, Shadowswifts, and Tieflings from the Planar Handbook, and Gensai and Para-gensai from Dragon magazine are all also possible in the setting, but are
very rare. Even when they are found on the Prime, they're generally living in Bizmar (the capital city of the Bizmarian Empire), and this upcoming adventure will be set some distance from it.
Classes: All standard and psionic classes from the SRD, the Shugenja from the Complete Divine, the Divine Bard, Cloistered Cleric, Planar Ranger, Urban Ranger, and specialist wizard variants from Unearthed Arcana.
I'm dropping the multi-classing restrictions on the monk and paladin, as they neither make sense to me, nor fit the setting well.
Feats and Prestige Classes: Anything from the books listed below is likely to be OK (with the exception of the rather unbalanced Radiant Servant of Pelor), although I may say no to some other PrCs if they don't fit my idea of the setting.
Equipment: The mundane weapons and equipment listed on p. 67-78 of the Planar Handbook is available, but only in Bizmar, and costs double the listed price due to it's scarcity.
Religion: The Grayhawk gods, including the lesser known gods found in the Complete Divine. Most people worship one of the main pantheon (that is, the core gods), but the others have a loyal (if for the most part small) following.
A small change from the standard set-up: Rao, Tharizdun, Xan Yae and Zuoken all take a particular interest in (and represent different aspects of) psionics.
Books used: The 3.5 SRD (including the revised psionics rules), Complete Divine (with the exception of the Radiant Servant of Pelor), Tome and Blood, the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. If appropriative for a character, I'm also open to material from the Book of Exalted Deeds or Oriental Adventures (along with the 3.5 revisions printed in Dragon).
