Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Cardinal" data-source="post: 21491" data-attributes="member: 634">for starters...1. The setting is a *large* (2200 miles across) "valley" surrounded by a chain of enormous mountains (up to almost 30,000 feet). In the center of this valley lies a warm interior sea within which lies a large tropical island. No one knows what lies beyond the mountains, they are the icy end of the world.One of the campaign secrets is the fact that beyond those mountains there is indeed only ice: the planet is an "iceworld", the "valley" a titanic crater created thousands of years ago.2. Orcs aren't necessarily evil: they are more of a barbaric version of dwarves - a very war-oriented race in this setting. Dwarves & Orcs (i.e. fighters & barbarians) tend to hold a grudging respect for each other - a courtesy that is not extended to elves...3. favored class for elves is Sorceror4. Gnomes have no illusion abilities: their favorite class is wizard and they receive bonus skill points like humans as they advance in level. They come primarily from one region of this setting but live in small communities in almost all large cities: think of a crossover between chinese & jewish immigrants.5. no one likes halflings: they are the gypsies & chimney-sweepers of this setting: exploited, abused, and distrusted bottom-feeders, thieves, con-men, and fortune tellers. The favored class of female halflings is Wizard (Diviner).6. Another campaign secret: the planet is part of the Dragonstar setting...</blockquote>
