Would it be possible to have darts treated as ammunition the same way shuriken are for the purpose of them being masterwork and enchanting them?

To compete for the 'fifth wheel' position (if you believe in such things), I'm starting work on a Malconvoker. Disposable minions, fighting evil with evil, all those fun things.

Name: Jae Nevra [Character Sheet]
Race: Human
Alignment: Lawful Good
Class: Cleric 5/Ordained Champion 5
Deity: Torm
Region: Cormyr, Matryr Progeny

"We all have oaths and duties to fulfill, from the lowest scullery maid to Lord Torm himself. It matters not if we care for them, for they are ours alone, close to us like a whispered word, always calling to us. My own duty hangs before my sight, a burden and pride non else can see. It is my death. It is never far but eludes me yet, though I seek it. I pray that I may fulfill my oath and I do not know if Torm blesses or torments me for it is ever out of reach."

Hook: Jae has been on sabbatical for the past two months. Her superiors in the church are worried about her mental health and arranged matters with the Purple Dragons for her to take an extended furlough. She was against it, but of course has followed orders and decided to take a tour of the Dalelands as she's only known Cormyr. She could be on an extended stop in Daggerdale or only just recently arrived, though it's probably she heard of the Drow raids and decided to come up herself.

You too Toli. Love that picture. Also, halfling conjuring up demons? For some reason it's scarier because she's a halfling.

If there's one thing that Dark Sun taught us, it's that halflings make EVERYTHING scarier.

lol well it seems people are going for a darker type of character so I suppose my character will be the comic relief that aside, oh powerful DM you mentioned that you would give us some further requirements for our backstory once the type of game was chosen. I do believe we have settled on the good/neutral option and I myself have picked a race that hate the drow with every fiber of their being. Yes my character will be zany but she wo't be exempt from her peoples never ending hatred of the drow nor their desire to eradicate them... she will just want to do it faster! I will do a background for the character and make the necessary changes when you hand outthe specifics.

A few details to be settled (weapon type in particular, depending on your answer to my question about darts) and background is very much still a work in progress.

Matias Trickfoot and a little Vignette.

Since the party seems to be Melee light and caster heavy I'll change my caster throw in to a HP hit things guy. I should have something up within a few hours.

It does in fact appear that we will be playing the traditional party. As for character background info, you need to have a reason to be in the Daggerdale region, specifically Dagger Falls and have a reason to want to help rid the region from the recent drow attacks. Word has spread that Randal Morn is looking for aid from competent adventurers and mercenaries and a sizeable reward for completion of this task has been hinted at.

@Lostbutseeking: Darts will be enchanted as per the normal rules, sorry.

Posting intrest as a Elan Psion. My goal is to improve my mind, and shed my physical form, through the Psion Uncarenate and Metamind PrC's. I'd be a Telepath, but will take the feat to gain some other powers.

Yep no psionics in this campaign... I shall finish the fluff for my lovely character right now, compared to the others she will be more lighthearted. Think of her is a morale boost in the Underdark, a sunny character if you will On a completely unrelated note, once a day she can reach top speeds of 90 mph (145 kmph for us sane people) and sustain it for a minute (800 ft in one round take that anyone trying to attack muahahaha)

If you'd be willing to run a second Drow party, I'd love to play a cleric of Lloth without her powers... I'd even be willing to go do far as to try to solo it if there isn't enough other interest.

Some stuff for me dwarf

So, a Dwarf raised as a slave in a drow house that managed to escape. Theres no homebrew, but will just go ahead and ask for this form of Crafting based Enchanting. Crafting based, low key, and less powerful then normal enchanting.

@Grimsage Matt: No homebrew, sorry.

Also, no Stone Dwarves. I should have clarified that none of the Unearthed Arcana races are allowed. The Forgotten Realms has many types of Dwarf subtypes, I'm sure you'll find one you like.

@Mr. X: I'm afraid I wont have time to run two games of this.

K then, I'll look up the varient dwarves, and see if theres a WoTc non-magical weapon enhancement system (Skill based, not magic based). I know theres been home brews on the forum for that, but lets see if WoTc thought of one (Besides Artificer. Or is it allowed).

Also, have something "Flawish" planed for my guy. He has a birth defect, that prevents him from vocalizing. He can grunt, he can growl, he just can't speak. He does know Sign Language though.

As I posted earlier in the thread this campaign follows a strict timeline. If you don't progress fast enough bad things will happen. I would avoid making characters based on crafting since you will have very very very little time to actually craft anything.

You can customize your character however you wish in terms of fluff but I wont be giving out any statistical bonuses based off of any flaws you give your characters.
