• 1. What game system are you running?
D&D 3.5

• 2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be (i.e. "Shadow Chasers" or "Agents of Psi" for d20 Modern)? What is the setting for the game (eg. historic period, published or homebrewed campaign setting, alternate reality, modern world, etc.)?
Core rules. As for the setting, the world is called Oren, the world has various landscapes and possibilities, nothing is in disparity, like usual D&D settings.

• 3. How many Players are you looking for? Will you be taking alternates, and if so, how many?
2 pcs

• 4. What's the gaming medium (OOTS, chat, e-mail etc.)?
OOTS forums, right here.

• 5. What is the characters' starting status (i.e. experience level)?
1st or equivalent

• 6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with?
nothing, all you have are the rags on your back.

• 7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes?
Only the three generic classes per the Unearthed Arcana with no multiclassing penalty yet all prestige classes are still available, just let me know if you need some special class ability to qualify. No homebrewed. All can come from a book with Dungeons and Dragons on the cover. Or must give me the rules on it on some freely accessible site.

• 8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species?
Any race that has a language or speaks a language, for anything nuts, talk to me we may be able to work something out.

• 9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?
I prefer organic roles (organic as you role them out best 3 out of 4 seven times on the site in this thread) but if some prefer they can do 24 point buy as laid out in the Dungeon Master guide pg 169. For hp, your first level is max, all other you need to roll out here or in another die rolling thread you can link. But I also trust you guys, so if you want to have some dice next to the keyboard and roll at home thats cool too.

• 10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so?
You can be of any of the nine alignments

• 11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it?
you can multi class if you want to, no penalty.

• 12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them?
Using the forum die roller is best if it’s something you do, “I search the room for gold. Search: 1d20” If there would be no reason for you to know about it, I’ll roll, I will never roll for you, if your character needs to roll something I will ask you to do it, do not always expect an explanation

• 13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? This is a very bare bones game. All the rules are in place except having to do with multi classing.

• 14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)?
You do not have a character background. From the start of the camp your past history is irrelevant. You can say you came from some other country on the otherside of the world and have whatever background there. But nothing will have an effect on the current game, if you were rich you some how lost it all, if you were a king or something that kingdom was destroyed then some wizard cast a spell to make all who ever heard of it to forget its existence... get the picture?


• 15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above?
This game is totally character driven, I encourage you to make choices instead of being guided to the next event. Adventure in roleplaying, puzzle solving, socializing are all out there. Just go our there and get it.

• 16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters?
D&D 3.5 core and supplements only, plus the expanded psionics supplement that I have allowed (Hyperconscious: Explorations in Psionics)

The World

The country is called, Disain, ruled by the queen Aryan. There are ten major cities. Fortress, the nations capitol, where the queen's seat of power lies and headquarters of the nations army. By far the richest city in the land. Bayland, the city on the shore, is a trading and shipping town with a seedy underbelly. Northhope, in the far north, where the mages guild has their college and headquarters. Duran, a mining city that is home to the fighters guild headquarters. Meno, a city to the far east that sits among many ancient elven ruins. NewHome, the armor and weapons capitol of the country, if need good equipment go to Newhome. The Elves have their wooded home in Summerseve, the dwarves are high in the southern mountain in Stonedeep, The Gnomes are in the southeast at Tuffle, and the orcs have settled at Bloodcross. All the cities are heavily populated with the associated race, but all others races are welcome, as to law laid down by the queen herself for all cities within her domain

NOW

You are in a 20x20x10 dungeon beneath the queen's Castle in Fortress. The only entrance is a gate that is lowered shut by a pulley system with one inch square holes spacing the wrought iron. There is one other individual with you in the chamber, a chamber pot, two piles of hay, two wooden plates from your last meal and the clothes on your back(if you choose to have them). Go.

I'm going to go with a Centaur. There is a level by level breakdown in savage species I will be following starting on page 161. I'll use the DMG stats if they're better than the ones I rolled.

Highlights -
Has hooves
Proficient with Mighty Composite Longbows and the Heavy Lance
40 Feet Movement
Medium Sized(until lv. 6)
Darkvision
Starting Ability Score Adjustments: +2 Dex, –2 Int.
Gains Str. Con. and Wis. by advancing in Centaur through level 6



Question: Can I attack with Hooves and a weapon all in the same attack? Would multi-attack or other feats make this possible?

Really looking forward to starting this campaign. The concept is pretty cool, and I love sandbox style.

How did I get to where I am? I introduce myself to the person if we've not done so already.

I will investigate the pulleyed door, and test the portal to see if I may be able to lift it. (just checking to see if it would be possible, not executing yet)

Obviously not really started out numbers-wise yet, but will work on it tonight. We should be able to get rolling no?

Kuzzault is a lesser Centaur. Centaurs who've achieved greatness pride themselves on their sturdy and hefty build(are large sized). Kuzzault, obviously hasn't achieved this at all(he is medium sized). The first thing you'd notice about Kuzzault(as a human observer) is his unusual horse/human body, then a very sad set of deep brown eyes.

He is "naked" in that his male torso is not clothed, and his horse bottom - as is tradition - remains uncovered as well. Only those who have proven themselves in the community earn the right to wear battle armaments. Kuzzault has earned no such honor to this day.

"Greetings" - He says to his cell-mate, what winged creature is this? - He thinks. Many Centaur proudly remain hidden from common populace and resent sharing the company of other 'lesser' creations. The Centaur are often thought of as 'mythical' and 'awesome'(in the traditional sense, causing wonderment and awe). This has lead the society to independence and self-import when among the common races.

@ Never, your centaur will be able to do one attack with a weapon and then attack with the two hooves at the end of his centaur progression. The hand/weapon attacks will progress with character levels.
@Stark, we can still talk about a space camp. But if we want to go ahead with this one, after a little character interaction the first event will begin.

I should be able to use them both right away I think(in a full attack action), at -5 unless I take multi-attack.

From the monster manual glossery:

Manufactured Weapons: Some monsters employ manufactured weapons when they attack. Creatures that use swords, bows, spears, and the like follow the same rules as characters, including those for additional attacks from a high base attack bonus and two-weapon fighting penalties. This category also includes “found items,” such as rocks and logs, that a creature wields in combat— in essence, any weapon that is not intrinsic to the creature. Some creatures combine attacks with natural and manufactured weapons when they make a full attack. When they do so, the manufactured weapon attack is considered the primary attackunlessthe creature’s description indicates otherwise and any natural weapons the creature also uses are considered secondary natural attacks. These secondaryattacks do not interfere with the primary attack as attacking with an off-hand weapon does, but they take the usual –5 penalty (or –2 with the Multiattack feat) for such attacks, even if the natural weapon used is normally the creature’s primary natural weapon.

Kuzzault tests the door and finds it too heavy to be lifted without the machine designed for that purpose and also realizes its locked somehow. In mid conversation a portal to Bader opens up and a scrapped up demon jumps out smelling of fire and brimstone

I need to know what the relationship between centaurs and demons are before I can make a decision, or speak, for Kuzzault.

1. Assumedly Demons are all evil in this world right?
2. Assumedly the greatest majority of Centaurs are neutral right?(I haven't committed to an alignment yet, as I prefer the characters to shape themselves in the actions they take in game - If anything, leaning towards lawful neutral)
3. Would the demon be likely pulling a trick? What does "blood" mean?(if you need to make knowledge checks for religion or planes, Kuzzault would have none, and has an int mod of -2 - you can roll privately) I assume a lot of this would be common knowledge right? Does he really mean "soul"?
4. Does it appear as though the Demon could be easily destroyed in this moment?(is he just scrapped up, or visibly on the brink of death?)

centaurs are as they are in the monster manual 3.5, and for any knowledge on demons you would have to do a knowledge roll for Kuzzault. (I never roll for people unless its rolls that you should not have knowledge of, and do all rolling in this thread). And you are free to interpret what he means by blood, that is something that you will have to figure out on your own unless your knowledge check is good enough for you to know that (I seriously doubt it will be because thats a ridiculously high roll). And there is no common knowledge about demons, as people don't usually interact with them. And he does look pretty messed up, as if without someone's help he may die on his own.

Does the being look evil? If he looks like a bruised supernatural/godlike warrior(and he doesn't know its a demon), Kuzzault would be inclined to help. Based on his respect and high-held opinion on war and combatants.

Result of knowledge checks for Kuzzault

What is that thing? You are not certain what it is but it does have a sinister look to it with all the horns and spikes and such, and it just left a fiery plane. From all the lore you've heard this thing is most likely a devil.

What do you know about Demons?
That they are evil. That they are known for causing havoc wherever they go, they have no code of honor, and delight in the pain and suffering of others, and they come from the chaotic planes of the Abyss. Devils on the other hand are the evil lords of divine retribution. They are bound by their word to fulfill whatever deal they make with anyone. But with any and all deals they attempt to get a soul either by directly asking for it or leading the mortal down a path where the devil can attain the soul as part of the deal. Best bet to avoid dealing with them at all costs.

About the rift, before it closed you saw mountains and lakes of fire, a sky as dark as pitch, and when it opened you were instinctively afraid of it. You instinctively feel that wherever that was, it was bad and evil. It fits what you have heard about Bader, where devils dwell.

(About the rift, before it closed you saw mountains and lakes of fire, a sky as dark as pitch, and when it opened you were instinctively afraid of it. You instinctively feel that wherever that was, it was bad and evil.The being looks like he does in the picture I posted, but without the sword. Big horns, horns on the back, red skin, sinister demeanor)

The Being hears Kuzzualt and responds, "My cause is to bring this world to heel and rule it with my dark hand, an event that will come to pass with your help or no. But you two are in luck, for I am in need. Willingly give me your blood and will give you both a boon and make you lords of the realm when my rule comes to be. But know that if you do I will have even more use for you and if you please me your rewards will be great."
