[Full] Walking the Path- A Realms of Sar Campaign (3.5e)
[i]The year is 462 A.R. 462 years have passed since the dark days of the Reckoning began, and great, climactic battles between good and evil were waged. But these days are no less dark. Generations have passed, and memory has faded into story and legend. Mighty empires have fallen, without new ones to take their place. The future of the Realms is no longer threatened as it was then by the Great Foe and the dark forces he controlled, but the Realms are also bereft of the heroes and great leaders that rose in those times. The days of the legends of Sar are long past. These are the days of corruption and greed.
In the legends, it most often happens that a hero is born into their position, that the call of destiny is immediate and unmistakable. In reality, this is never the case. Destiny is a winding path, rife with treacherous obstacles, traps, and potential doom.
And the inhabitants of the Realms may not know it, but they are in need of those who can walk the path.[/i]
[b]This will be a D&D 3.5e campaign, intended to be long-running and of epic scope. Important notes follow.[/b]
[b]Character Creation:[/b]
Characters will be created at level 2 (starting with 900 gold and 1100 experience points). Statistics will be rolled in front of me on OPnPW: 5d6, drop the lowest two. The moral component of alignments is restricted to Good, or Neutral with the intention of the character later becoming Good. Races are restricted to the PHB. For everything else, the core books as well as the Complete books are open, and I own several other books, so if you want to use material from another book, ask me about it. The only flat-out exception is psionics, which are not allowed.
[b]Character Backgrounds:[/b]
I highly recommend you talk to me about the background you've developed/are developing for your character. Contact me (via forum PM, AIM: StrikerEternal, or email: tmeternal at gmail dot com) with a basic outline and we can flesh it out and give the character a real place in the world. I've yet to post maps and information about the world of the Realms, but I do have a good deal of info, just in a very unorganized and unfinished form.
Backgrounds don't need to be long, but they do need to convey information about your character's past and how he came to be where he is now, which is to say, adventuring. Details of how the characters meet each other, and the opening scenario, will be posted.
Also, once you decide what class and race you're playing, post it on this thread so the rest of us know. It's easier to create a balanced party that way.
Speaking of those maps and information...
[b]RoS Info:[/b]
I'll try to periodically post stuff about the game world. No guarantees on time, though (I'm not a busy man so much as I am a procrastinating man). Next on the list is: [b]pantheon summary and brief cosmology of the Realms[/b].

Not likely. I generally allow stuff from any other books that I have, but the only thing I'll ever require is the PHB.
It didn't take me very long to get four players. :lol: I'll take one more.

Shameless bump, and for good reason: I actually got something done before a deadline that I set! :D
Check the first post in the thread for new stuff. Any questions, ask. There's a good chance I forgot something.
As an aside, I definitely need to work on my writing ability. :?

actually, the sad face was because i can't join since my schedule is so packed already. I had to deny one game before this, i didn't care that the slots were filled.
I would have bugged you for at least four more days before i'd accept denial of entry :-P
:(since now i doubly can't play, even if i could, i can't, and i can't and i want to! and that makes no sense!
Besides, it's RoS, were you expecting anything less?

Human here too, I'm pretty interested in being a fighter, but if you choose to be one then I'll take another look into what to be.
[Full] Walking the Path- A Realms of Sar Campaign (3.5e)
I will play to fill in any holes in the party. That having been said, you probably don't want to make me the divine character, cuz rarely do I play divine characters that do a lot of healing.
Also, Striker, I can 'show you' where to 'find' the 'book', if you 'want' it. 'You' know what I 'mean'?

Looks like it's up to Melubb to be the divine caster, then.

Looks like i'm going Sorc then. And after many many many a game without healers in the party i've learned not to rely to much on clerics.

Damnit. I'm always the Divine caster. I'm going to make a point to have less healing then Saber's Clerics usually do.
Pig Fuckers. The lot of you.
Kidding, kidding, Striker is the only pig fucker here. Sigh, I'll talk with you about the extent of my healing-ness later Striker. Hit me up on AIM sometime. I would like to get this done by Sunday.

As per my norm, I'll make about a half dozen characters. Right now, I like the idea of a [half] elven scout, a beguiler of some race (assuming you allow it; its from the phb II), a rogue/illusionist (likely human), a rogue/fighter (definately human), or a [half] elven knight (also assuming you allow it; also from the phb II).
There's so many character ideas, so little time. :(

Update:
After consideration, I'm changing the ability scores to point buy with 38 points. This is after Saber, no lie, was so bored he spent last night calculating the point buy equivalent of the statistical average for 5d6 drop lowest 2. I didn't want all that hard work to go to waste. :lol:
Update #2:
For HP, take the max at level 1, and for subsequent levels take the average. (1d4 = 2.5, 1d6 = 3.5, 1d8 = 4.5, and so on). Round down but keep track of the fractions (so if you were a cleric with a d8 hit die and a 10 CON, you would have 8 HP at level 1, 12 HP at level 2, and 17 HP at level 3).

Just letting you guys know, that I doubt I'll be able to start this until next weekend at the earliest (lots of work to do for school this week). So there's no real rush to get your characters done.
I do appreciate the enthusiasm, though. :)

I'm still waiting on characters from Saber, Melubb, and Reddan. (Well, actually I know Saber has at least one character made.)
On my end, I'm making more progress than I expected. The beginnings of the campaign should be ready by Saturday.
I am putting up a scheduling thread in the appropriate forum so we can discuss that.

First off, sorry for not replying for a week. :D
I don't really have a preference as long as it's in some readable electronic format, but I would suggest using [url=http://www.opnpw.com/saber/DnDCharsheet.rtf]Saber's charsheet[/url]. It is pretty self-explanatory.
Also since you asked me about background information via PM, and I know other people have asked about that (not including the person who never finished his character, of course :roll: ). The only thing I can say is don't worry about that right now. I hope to post something about the world and get the campaign going soon, but the way school and other things have been taking up my time I can't make any guarantees. :?
