[/CODE]Underlying Ideas:PCs are contracted explorers operating out of Sharn on behalf of a treasure-hunting/archeological consortium (university, noble house,merchant interests). They will be escorting a nobleman as part of his semi-independent entourage (and they will not be the only membersof the entourage). The primary settings will be Sharn and Xen'Drikbut we may move to other locations (and/or planes) as we play. - To be more completely fleshed out later.DMing Style:&nbsp; I'm a novice DM, though I've been told that I'm good at it. I'm not so great with intrigue and politics, though I'd like to explore this aspect of roleplaying. I like the concept of a living world wherein things happen whether the PCs are there or not.&nbsp; I am not terribly fond of halflings and gnomes... especiallythe trickster/comic relief/cleptomaniac archtypes. This is your DM asking you not to play one of these archtypes.House Rules:This is something of an experement for me. Any of these house rules may be revoked at any time, for any reason. I will not requirethat character's be edited to work with previous house-rules, butwhen changed, the new rules/lack of rules will be in effect for future level gains.[CODE]&nbsp; * [u]Accelerated Feat Aquisition[/u]: I like feats. I feel that they add&nbsp; &nbsp; a lot to the game but that the average character doesn't get &nbsp; &nbsp; enough of them. Feats are gained at the following levels: 1, 1,&nbsp; &nbsp; 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, &amp; 19 &nbsp; &nbsp; (yes, that's two of them at first level).&nbsp; * [u]Attribute Increases[/u]: I like how this reflects a character's &nbsp; &nbsp; growth over time... but I think that it happens too slowly. &nbsp; &nbsp; Attribute points are gained at the following levels: 3, 6, 9, 12,&nbsp; &nbsp; 15, &amp; 18&nbsp; * [u]Starting Skills[/u]: Each character will recieve 4 extra skill&nbsp; &nbsp; ranks at first level. These ranks should be used to purchase skills &nbsp; &nbsp; relating to the character's background (i.e., Samwise Gamgee's&nbsp; &nbsp; Profession: cook skill).&nbsp; * [u]Regional Characteristics[/u]:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Regional Classes (these count as favored classes for XP &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; penalties).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Regional Feats (your 2nd level 1 feat must be one of these &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; regional feats).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Regional Skills (these all count as class skills no matter what&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; your class is).&nbsp; * [u]Experience Aquisition[/u]: I'm an instant gratification sort&nbsp; &nbsp; of guy... and due to the message-board medium, I'm accelerating&nbsp; &nbsp; the rate of XP earned. XP will be earned at double the standard&nbsp; &nbsp; rate. &nbsp; &nbsp; - Treasure will also be earned at a double-rate... but it may &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; take a different form. I'm toying with the idea of paying all&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; surviving PCs via thier contract with the Treasure Hunting &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; consortium. And then anything found on adventures belongs to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the consortium... but can be purchased from the consortium &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (i.e., PCs get first dibs).&nbsp; * The Half-Orc no longer has a CHA penalty. Instead it suffers a&nbsp; &nbsp; -1 Racial Penalty to Bluff, Diplomacy, Handle Animal, &amp; Sense &nbsp; &nbsp; Motive skill checks.&nbsp; * we will be using a non-standard [b]Sorceror[/b] class. All &nbsp; &nbsp; sorcerors will gain bonus feats like Wizards do; but the feat&nbsp; &nbsp; must be a meta-magic feat. Sorcercor's will not suffer increased&nbsp; &nbsp; casting times due to using metamagic.&nbsp; * We will be using a non-standard [b]Fighter[/b] class.

No &nbsp;&nbsp; inter-party stealing please. No inter-party combats please.&nbsp;&nbsp; Note: Paladins will not lose thier paladinhood simply because&nbsp;&nbsp; thier best childhood friend happened to grow up to become &nbsp;&nbsp; Neutral Evil. Should that character wantonly kill or steal &nbsp;&nbsp; from those the paladin considers innocent, he should speak &nbsp;&nbsp; up though. &nbsp;* [u]Allowed Classes[/u]: Any class from the System Reference Document &nbsp;&nbsp; (including XPH), Eberron Campaign Setting,&nbsp; Unearthed Arcana, or&nbsp;&nbsp; Arcana Unearthed.
