Testament of the Fallen - Forgotten Realms Campaign

This campaign will be set in Forgotten Realms and will be a level 1-20 campaign (possibly epic but I doubt it). The world of Faerun is a vast and diverse place, providing adventure for any level and class. This campaign will be a long and deadly one, fraught with peril and death at every turn (ooh!). For those of you who are new to Forgotten Realms, it is a BIG place. There are both high level and low level NPC's everywhere and adventure is fairly easy to find. For those of you who are new to Forgotten Realms - I will be more than happy to give you information on whatever you need. All characters will start at level 1 (i.e. no +LA races). I will be outlining the Character Creation Rules below.

Books or PDFs NEEDED to play
Player's Handbook (I have SRD available on site http://www.sylvos.com/gaming/DnD/Sage/home.html) Races of Faerun, and Player's Guide to Faerun. If you do not have access to any of them, let me know and I will be more than happy to help you out with any information or resources that you may need.

Character Creation Rules.[/color]

I. Character Concept - This is the most important step of the entire character creation process. The success of this campaign is dependant on how much you put into the development and concept of your character as certain plot elements will be tied into the background and history of your character. Character Concept will also help your decisions concerning other elements of Character Creation that will be listed below.

II. Ability Scores - I will be allowing both 32 point buy as well as 4d6 drop the lowest x6. You may roll your stats first and if they prove unsatisfactory use the point buy. NPC's will be using the elite array stat system for the most part. I normally prefer 32 point buy, but with the advent of a new dice roller, I'm allowing for rolled stats in this campaign.

III. Races - In Forgotten Realms there isn't just an "elf" or a "human", there are subraces and nationality-based races. Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes, etc.. all have subraces associated with their racial designation: example - Elf has Sun, Moon, Wild and Wood elf to choose from.
Each subrace has it's own unique modifiers that are normally associated with the base race. The current allowed races are non +LA races, once the campaign has started you may have access to creation other races that are not listed below.
The available Race and Subraces to players.
   a. Dwarves - Gold, Shield and Wild (requires special permission and a good concept since they are far removed from standard play.)
   b. Elves - Moon, Sun, Wild and Wood. (Sorry no Drow rangers thx!)
   c. Gnomes - Forest and Rock
   d. Half-elves - Standard PHB.
   e. Half-orcs and Orcs - Half-orc
   f. Halflings - Ghostwise, Lightfoot and Strongheart.
   g. Human - Calishite, Chondathan, Damaran, Illuskan, Mulan, Rashemi, Tethyrian, Other Ethnic Groups ( these ethnic groups are not as common as the others outside their nation of origin: Bedine, Chultan, Durpari, Fflok, Gur, Halruaan, Imaskari, Lantanna, Maztican, Nar, Netherese, Raumviran, Shaaran, Shou, Sossrim, Talfir, Tashalan, Tuigan, Turami, Ulutiun, Vaasan, and Zakharan.)
   h. Planetouched *Not Available at 1st Level* - Aasimar, Air Genasi, Earth Genasi, Fey'ri, Fire Genasi, Tielfling, Water Genasi.

IV. Classes - I will be allowing only the Base Classes that are detailed in the Player's Handbook v3.5 and from the Expanded Psionic's Book I will only allow the Psion. Prestige Classes are available once you hit the appropriate level.

V. Character Region - All character's must choose a Region. The regions will be available in the Player's Guide to Faerun since I will be damned if I list all 200 regions in a post. - certain regions give proficiency with items or weapons or access to "racial" skills that function as class skills as far as skill points go. Region also helps determine starting Languages and Bonus Languages.

VI. Feats and Skills - You may choose any feat or skill that is outlined in the PHB or Complete Series or any FR specific book. Other sources while "core" material will require permission since they are not Realm-specific.

VII. Starting Equipment and Gold - Character's may choose starting equipment from their chosen region and roll only 1/2 their starting gold, or choose not to use starting region equipment and use their starting gold instead.

VIII. Template and Character Sheets. - I have installed the 3eProfiler on the site and made it accessable to all. Characters will be both created and notated on the 3eprofiler as well as created using the template listed below. The reason for the template is so just in case the 3eprofiler goes down, I don't lose your character. For information on how to use the 3eprofiler refer to http://www.sylvos.com/SMF/index.php?topic=377.0 .
