This game will take place as a Greyhawk campaign with a slightly alternate timeline. I would like 4-5 1st level characters.
Ability Scores: 32 point-buy
Setting: Greyhawk (Alternate Timeline)
Starting Level: 1st
HP: Max HP at every level
Alignment: Any, but be prepared to play well with others and I will not tolerate evil acts toward good/innocent people.
Gold: Max gold at 1st level
Sourcebooks: PHB v3.5, DMG v3.5, MM v3.5, The Complete Adventurer, Arcane, Divine, Mage, Scoundrel, and Warrior/ Races of Destiny, Stone, and the Wild.
Posting Etiquette: The DM will post daily. Players should be prepared to post daily as well. Please drop a line in the OOC if you will miss more than a week. Note: I am deployed in Iraq. I fully intend to post daily. Due to reasons beyond my control I may not be able to post for 2-3 days sometimes. I promise this will be an exception and not the rule.
Character Concept Submission Deadline: 19 May 2007. Concepts should include race, class, ability scores, feats, estimate of which skills will be taken, AC, primary weapon, and a rough estimate of spell selection for bards, sorcerers, and wizards. More information is welcome but not necessary at this stage. Fully fleshed-out character sheets and a character background will be required after selection.
House Rules: DM does all dice rolling. No penalty for multi-classing. PHB classes only. I will allow feats and prestige classes from any of “The Complete” or “Races of” books. If I am not familiar with a feat I may ask you to explain it so I know what it is. Let me know as soon as possible if you wish to take a prestige class, at least 2 levels early. No Psionics.
Background:
30 years ago Vecna defied the other gods and directly interfered with the Material Plane; the evil god found the location of his Hand and Eye and set forth a plan to retrieve them. To retrieve the Hand and Eye, Vecna's plan was to use a golem known as the Juggernaut stolen from the dwarves, while simultaneously sending an army of powerful demons upon the world as a distraction. A group of adventurers led by Sylique, an elven cleric of Corellon Larethian, discovered Vecna's vile plan in time to stopper events as they were unfolding but, lacking the power to themselves thwart the Juggernaut, turned to Sylique's patron, Corellon Larethian. Corellon Larethian granted Sylique and her group great power rarely seen among humans and, through them, he himself laid a counterattack to stop the Juggernaut. The ruling council of the Realm of Greyhawk known as the Circle of Eight immediately assembled and army of the most powerful and important people in the world to battle the demons while Sylique’s group fought the Juggernaut.
Despite the Juggernaut threat being thwarted, Vecna's evil groundwork was not entirely in vain. The demons loosed by Vecna nearly destroyed the realm itself; many of the world's greatest and most revered leaders were overthrown or slain. The Circle of Eight itself lost five of their number. The three remaining members of the Circle of Eight established Mellubb as King of the Realm of Greyhawk. Mellubb, born of humble roots but grown to greatness at the pommel of his blade, had no idea how great was the responsibility laid upon his feet but nevertheless enthusiastically agreed to his reign. Mellubb has since joined forces with all the good-willed countries of the world under his domain and is constantly politicking to rid the world of evil. Though she has no firm divine power, Sylique is revered by all elves as a demigod; her name is nearly as sacred as that of Corellon Larethian. Like Mellubb, Sylique also sees fit to rid the world of evil but the two do not always agree on the method or means to reach this end.
Adventure Synopsis:
The above background is intended as a brief summary of Greyhawk recent history as invented by me. The background detailed above admittedly has little to do with the adventure as it starts, except to say that there is a king named Mellubb and that he enjoys fighting evil. The following is a description intended to inspire character creation:
Ten years ago, a group of adventures where hired by the mayor of a small town along the Selintan River halfway between Hardby and Greyhawk to find missing children taken from their homes in the night. The adventuring group discovered that the children were taken by a cult and were to be sacrificed to Vecna. The group arrived in time to save the children, but upon their return to town found that six of those rescued did not belong to anyone in the town. On the hope that the families of the remaining six children could be located abroad, the adventuring group traveled to the Free City of Greyhawk, where they met with limited success. Having restored only one of the remaining six with his family, the group elected to retire and raise the five unclaimed children. Although retired, the group could not help but to feel a yearning to continue their careers as adventurers. That they might live vicariously through their five adopted children, the adventurers taught the children all they knew of the perils and wonders of the world.
The PCs of this game are intended to be these five children. The genders of the children are intentionally nondescript, as are their races.
The adventurers' (i.e. the people who raised your characters) names, genders, race, alignments, and classes are listed below. Please try to pick which adventurer raised your PC. The race, alignment, and class need not match your character's.
