Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uriel" data-source="post: 552661" data-attributes="member: 8222">A FEW GAME NOTESOfficial 'What is OK' book list.The Core, as well as the Forgottewn Realms stuff,The Quintessential Guides,the Fantasy Flight Games books (Path of the Sword, Path of Magic, Spells&Spellcraft), Book of Vile Darkness.I will be using the Tome of Horrors as well as other sources for Creatures (some kept secret for now).I will do all dice rolling and I will inform you each of pertinent info via email that you notice, come across,discover etc...I do use the Instant Death Rules (20,followed by 20 followed by Crit = Death <DMG pg 64 Instant Kill>).A few things are changed as far as class skills (Noted in the sheets of those who have been affected).The characters had a rather high point start, as can be seen from their stats. As well, I take the 'half number' as a minimum for HP (5 for a D10, 6 for a D12 etc...).Each character has a House Ferach Pendant.For the actual 'Ferach' Drow, these are most useful, for the non-Ferach Drow, less so, and for the non-Drow, even less powerful;These were not included in the starting money that I allocated for each character (which was a number somewhere around 22-25,000GP). The characters are not all exactly even in gear, but discrepancies are very minor.The Drow Poison on their bolts was also not factored in to starting cash, as I felt that issuing such would be standard for a Mission such as this.OK, any other questions, feel free to ask in this (now the Under a Vaulted Sky-The Silver Door:OoC Thread) Thread.POSTING: I would like to wait until each character posts before moving the 'Story' posts along; If someone can't post for a bit, but they send me (via email) actions etc... that will fascillitate me posting for them, then that works as well. I would like to keep this game moving fairly quickly. Since most of the characters (all Drow, Grolvus and maybe the other two) possess the Silent-Tongue language, emails to each other are Ok, as long as the messages are simple ones that you could coney with it (think of it as 'Drow Shorthand'. Any plotting etc should be done via email, with a copy sent to me as well.This is an honor thing (you folks, not the honorless Dogs that are the Drow, of course).I hope this goes well, as I would like to use it for the Political Overgame when I do start that up.OK, play em like you like em, as you are all welcome to keep playing these characters in future games (The ones that survive, as, while I am far from a Killer-DM, these are Dark and Dangerous times, and I am pulling few punches).EXP: I will be awarding experience points based on 'roleplaying' as well as problem solving/monsters/traps etc... Also, if characters do 'level' during the game (and their Exp are secret as of now, near 21,000-23,000 each right now), I will inform  the player. I don't mind leveling-up as long as it makes sense.Brogark gaining a level of fighter makes sense, if he decides he wants to become a Cleric, that will take some work.That's it for now, please keep all OoC comments either here or in Email, as appropriate.Thanks, Uriel(Yes, the campaign is set in the FR, but far from Menzoberranzan. As far as the players (the Drow, anyways) know, that City is just a name of a Drow City somewhere else in the World. With Teleportation limited as it is in the Underdark<Faerzress, the radiation that keeps Scrying (-4 checks) and Teleportation to a minimum (1 Mile max even for Word of Recall,Refuge etc...>,Thelaru 'acli is the main Drow Metropolis in this part of the Underdark.</blockquote>
