Message: <blockquote data-quote="TaranTheWanderer" data-source="post: 9846175" data-attributes="member: 15882">Low magic world.  Something happened to make magic users unable to use their magic in the traditional means.  Some very, very few people developed magic. Magic items are how wizards are keeping up the illusion that their magic still works.  They can cast the spells they memorized before magic went away but they cannot rememorize them so, as soon as they cast their spell slots, those slots are gone forever.No clerics because the gods disappeared 400 years ago.Elves disappeared with the gods.There are druids.Old Magic items work.About a year before the current time, a black cloud appeared over the Central Mountains and all wizardly magic stopped working.  Then a massive dwarven army came out and is steam-rolling the human cities.Our characters are from the furthest Eastern portion of the continent.  There is no war there as there is a huge swamp and stuff that separates the warzone from the East.  It's been raining in the swamp for a full year and the way is blocked. (but we got through and stopped the rain - Dwarves paid off a druid)Or characters heard about the war happening, did some adventures, made some money stole weapons and armour and are delivering it to the Trade Post on the edge of the war zone.  The Trade Post is cut off so we are going to sell the supplies and try to get rich.  Maybe try to hire mercenaries and make our own mercenary group and try to profit off the war.We are all 4th<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The wizard is a necromancer(2014 version) who hates his noble father and wants to build power to ruin him</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Barbarian Battle Rager uses shield bash.  His tactic is to knock people prone.  That's why I though sentinel would be good. He's got anger issues and wants to become a War Lord</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Rogue (me) is following the other two because money seems to follow them wherever they go.  He was a poor street thief before he met them.  He is often bored and has little regard for local law and can sometimes be impulsive in his decision making (social norms bounce off him hard)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Orc Warlock Hex Blade we haven't met yet.  He was an indentured servant to a wizard who lost his magic.  The wizard was doing experiments on him trying to figure how to make magic again.  He accidently possessed the a dwarven flint-lock pistol with the spirits of its past victims and it bound itself to the orc slave.  The orc slave killed the wizard and will meet us at the Trade Post (we are working on a background connection)</li> </ul></blockquote>
