Default [D&D3.5] Adventuring School (4 DMs & 20 players wanted)

The idea of the framework for this game was made by Doomboy911, a friend of mine. The framework consists of a Dungeon Master General (DMG for short) who controls the school staff and other NPCs that interact with the all the classes. Normal DMs will be in charge of a class, all the NPC and PC students alike in that class. It would be expected that PC would be about the same age group (unless you want to stick out like a sore thumb). The teacher of his/her class will be up to the individual DM to create, as well as any specific students they want to make. The DMG will make and control the Principle as well as any important staff/faculty he/she wishes to make as well as important students from other classes. The rest of the setting and the plot is up to the DMs to make. The idea for this was loosely based off the manga named Puchimon.

I'm going to be a player (I almost have a character done), but I'm going to be without internet for the next week. Doomboy will likely check in tomorrow as a DM. If so, follow what he says.

Yes thank you for that introduction I can't take credit for the idea but I do enjoy it. As far as I can tell we'll need about four teachers. One for history one for magic one for phys ed one for monsters. Each of you guys are going to take on five students and run them through their classes. Players will be level 10. When the student finishes a class trade off to the other teacher.

I so badly want to be a student for this. Can we get a big 16 for students, and will the DMs have DMPCs as teachers or something similar?

I know I'm a guy, but I wanted to play a catgirl... Before you question me as a man, you should already know that there must be some sort of half-animal cute girl in a fantasy setting. Sadly though, I have to settle with a kitsune. And I'm primarily filling the roll for giggles.

I'm thinking my student will be a charisma based rogue/bard type and move on into shadowdancer, if allowed. Always wanted to play a charming shadowdancer with a band of shades.

thought of getting dual strike to use with skirmish on my claws that were enlarged due to grow natural weapon and improved natural attack, but thought it was a bit wasteful

By "no psions" do you refer to psionics in general, or just the psion class itself?

Posting interest, tempted to play something monstrous, just to be able to shout "racist jerks!" during the monster class.

okay, let's see what the dice have to say.

Rolls

I'm thinking I'll make a Big Stupid Fighter, seeing as we already have a kitty scout and a skillmonkey shadowdancer.
EDIT: Is savage species Allowed? so many ideas, so little time...
EDIT 2: How about dungeon mag and dragon mag?

Heh. Kid hero adventurer school? Sounds like its made of win - I'll get cracking on a student once I get back from work.

(Umm, could the Big 16 be tidied up a bit? It's a bit difficult to read, and I think the rules for generating ability scores are missing........)

Thanks for the big 16! I'm totally interested as Petunia Periwinkle, an always optimistic, ever bubbly girl who just happens to call forth horrible beasts from the pits of hell. Mechanically, she'll be a conjurer 3/master specialist 2/Malconvoker 5.

1. This is intended to be a school for adventurers, yes? In that case, what kind of clientel do we specialize in? Is this a high class boarding school where only the wealthiest of children may attend? Or do we accept anyone who shows talent? Somewhere in between/. High quality boarding school that will dish out scholarships to kids who show potential

2. You stated sometime after World War 2. This is set on an alternate Earth then? What is the power level of the world? Is magic commonplace, and if so, what has the effect been on the development of technology? How does magic interact with tech, if at all? Any improvements magic could dish out the fact that monsters exist kind of bust it out. For every car that gets built there are a thousand different bodied species who want one and the focus gets put more on variety than improvement (first person to brings me an image of a car for mermaids that I like gets to level up)

3. How common are monsters in this world? Other humanoid races? Very common and most monsters have swallowed their pride and coexist with humans the troll finds that he can get more money by getting a office job than he could menacing people at a bridge.

4. Besides psionics, are there any sources you can think of that wouldn't exist in this world? Tome of Magic, Tome of Battle, Magic of Incarnum, etc. No tome of battle or I will hurt you fighters should learn how to fight better not be given better powerups. Dragon mags and dungeon mags are fine as long as you cite your sources. Keep your guns within the era and only if you're taking some classes for proper gun use. Also savage species is cool. This might not ring well with everyone but I have the intention of adding a school just for girls which means the one you're in would be an all boys school. This isn't to say no girls allowed at all just make sure ladies that you roll up a boy or a girl who's really good at hiding it.

Totally gonna break into the all girls school.

And as for the mermaid car, I once built a tube shaped (think

Kinda kills the idea I had for finding a meek caster girl for my character to protect. Oh well, I still have the perfect Jock.

Completely interested. Though I have one question- Can I use the superior unarmed strike/ snap kick feats from Tome of Battle? I'm gonna go for the big bruiser martial arts type.

Yeah I am having no luck in the die roller -.-
