A potential D&D 3.5 PbP at works Empty A potential D&D 3.5 PbP at works

Post by Tshern Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:07 pm

As you know, I am getting ready to pack my stuff and move abroad. Instead of broadening my horizons and acquiring new friends, I might start a PbP, but first I want to know if there are people willing to go for it.

First off, here are some things I expect from players who join the game:
  • Regular posting. Posting daily is not required, but I want to see the game moving. If you believe you cannot post every other day (exceptions allowed, sometimes it's just impossible to find the time), seriously reconsider.
  • More than basic knowledge of D&D 3.5. I can help with character building, but I have no intentions of teaching someone to throw the dice and anyone who believes the Fighter is better than the Wizard is automatically out.
  • Co-operation with me and the other players. In other words, don't be a dick.


The game would most probably start with a 32 point buy, level somewhere slightly above ten, pretty much all D&D 3.0 and 3.5 books are kosher and gentlemen's agreement is in place. The last one means whatever you use maybe used against you too. Think twice before crafting dozens of Celerity contingencies. Character concepts should be discussed with me before you start working on them.

Now I need suggestions, opinions and ideas.

I'm in. Interested in what the setting would be. Would probably play a neutral archivist.

The setting hasn't been created yet. I was hoping to get some ideas from the prospective players. I could try to run a detective story of sorts.

Well, grimy outlaws in a sin city is always a great prospect. Of course the power levels are already all screwy, so the fear of plague and hunger are not really relevant. But still, a mottled city of constant rain and beggars dying on street corners is awesome.

If we were to play some cruel, tainted world, I'd be willing to switch to playing a prostitute.

Excellent, I could use those as a platform. I'll have to read them later though, I am devilishly busy for the next few days.

I already have a vague idea, but I'll create more content before I post about it.

The best class ever is the Fighter....everyone knows that! I think you are wrong, wizards suck! JK, anyhow, what class would lead into a bladesinger fastest? I was thinking War Wizard, but not real sure.

And what is the War Wizard? Do you mean Warmage?

I'm now relocated my stuff to Scotland, but apparently the Freshers' Week is very, very busy. So far I've just been drinking. Heck, I only know one of my five room mates by name...

I've had some thoughts on the mechanical details of the campaign.

-Level 12.
-32 point buy.
-Standard wealth for casters, non casters start with 120% wealth. Give me your build skeleton and I decide whether or not it qualifies as a caster.
-I will craft a custom item for everyone, that will account for 10000 gp of your wealth. If you do not want the item, you can spend the money, but I guarantee the item will be worth its cost.
-Every character gets Able learner feat for free.
-Feat retraining allowed, but you may not retrain bonus feats.

Able Learner is in Races of Destiny. Also, if you don't really have to play an avariel I'd try getting rid of the LA. For example you could ask Tshern to give you a continuous item of Alter Self (price is 18 000 I presume, I'm sure he'll give it to you), which you could use to turn into an avariel and instead have an elf as the base race, granting you 3 more class levels.

Actually, I could also recomment you another prestige class with the same sort of flavor, the swiftblade:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327

This class is similar to bladesinger somewhat, though it is quite a bit more powerful.

I wouldn't be too sure. Alter self is a spell not to be given freely lightly.

Also, having an odd level of Fighter is not something you should do. The last level gives you nothing.

Let's put it this way: What is it you want your character to do? I can help with the mechanical details.

First time I have ever built a bladesinger, so I wasn't sure which way to go, i can drop the second level of wizard and go with one more level of fighter, but all it would do it give another bonus feat. My goal is to have the bladesinger PrC....with the avariel as my race.

Look, Tshern isn't going to make the fights easy. And if your character is effectually level 3, he's not going to survive. Why avariel? Why bladesinger?

Okay, what is it in Bladesinger you look after? I could just allow you to use the older version from some Faerun book. It is a better PrC, after all.

Also, we can work around that Avariel issue too. We can just grant you a permanent Polymorph Any Object effect or something like that. However, level adjustment as such can be a bit crippling.

Hey, could you increase the non-caster wealth to 150%. I think that would be nice.

Or actually just double it. That way playing a non-caster turns out to be a real good option.

How would you handle an archivist's spell list? On character creation, can it be assumed that he has learned divine versions of arcane spells normally? Should there be special costs?

Jolkuna: The rules stay as they are for now. I have my ways of keeping casters in balance if something bad happens. Usually in groups of high optimization non-casters can do their thing without interference from the real gods of the game.

trollblood: Outline your ideas. I am sure I can make a wonderful character for you. Or at least help you with one.

Rev: You got to pay the price for the scrolls and crafting the scrolls to your spellbook. I suggest you find a way around the XP cost. Hexer bullshit is not allowed as of now.
