Wild:Sources
From Drinking and Dragons
Revision as of 16:06, 4 January 2009 by >Mqs
General
- Do not be afraid to ask: I like to consider myself open to ideas. This means even things I already have listed as not available, you might be able to argue for.
- Please ask me with everything you take: don't assume anything. Even if it only serves to help keep me informed as to the choices you make for your character, please keep that communication going.
- I'm usually willing to create something if you have an idea and cannot realize it. This includes races, classes, feats, spells and pretty much anything.
- Anything may be reworked or revoked if it is found by me or players to be problematic. Please do not take it personally if this happens to you.
- Non-WotC sources are generally not considered available unless otherwise specified. Of course, you may ask for them. That doesn't mean I will allow it.
- Setting-specific things might otherwise be restricted more than more general things. I tend not to have read them yet, so I might not be able to give you an answer right away.
- See rules and alterations for more general house rules and changes to existing things, respectively.
- Custom written things for this campaign.
Races
- Generally all WotC races and templates are allowed. I may play with the level adjustment, base hit dice, and abilities it has if I deem it necessary.
- Humans are not available as a PC race.
- Warforged is NOT allowed (at least initially).
- I will take an extra close look at any race that is not of the humanoid or monsterous humanoid type. Many of the other types have rules attached to them I may not want to include.
- Any 3.0 sources may need revision for 3.5. This includes races in Oriental Adventures.
- Due to the Campaign/World, I will tend to be writing up a lot in this category myself.
- "Ask."
Classes
- All base classes from WotC sources can be considered except those noted below.
- Most variants will be be available, including those not yet written.
- The Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords will not be used in this campaign.
- Any 3.0 sources may need revision for 3.5. This includes classes in Oriental Adventures and the 3.0 class splat books.
- I am not ready to "full" psionics at this time. "Medium" to "light" psionics is available.
- Yes: Soulknife, Psychic Warrior
- No: Psion, Wilder
- If you want to use from Complete Psionic, I'll evaluate it individually.
- "Ask."
Feats
- Generally open. See characters.
- This category is generally easy to allow and then fix later if it's a problem.
- I have not yet made a decision regarding the following feats for this campaign:
- Leadership and related.
- Vow of Poverty
- Landlord
- "Ask."
Spells
- The only readily available spells will be from the following sources:
- Player's Handbook/SRD
- Spell Compendium
- Player's Handbook 2
- This category is generally easy to allow and then fix later if it's a problem. However, because of the complexity of looking up spells from various sources, it is unlikely I will allow many spells outside of these sources unless it is critical to the class selected.
- For psionics, only SRD powers will be available.
- Psionics will be transparent to magic.
- Shadow Magic is also transparent to normal magic, contrary to how it is described in Tome of Magic.
- "Ask."
- Banned: Amanuensis.
Items
- Do not consider Magic Item Compendium open. Some things will be allowed, but the vast majority will not be.
- Arms and Equipment guide will be used.
- Base equipment from various sources (exotic weapons from Complete Warrior and racial weapons from the Races of books) will generally be available.
- Most special materials will be available.
- Many weird alchemical items will be greatly increased in cost, if they even exist at all (tanglefoot bags and thunderstones, for example).
- This category is generally easy to allow and then fix later if it's a problem.
- "Ask."
Miscellanea
- No skill tricks (Complete Scoundrel).
- No 'taint' (Heroes of Horror).
- "Ask."
Books
- WotC generally disallowed:
- Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords
- Complete Champion will be heavily scrutinized.
- Non-WotC generally allowed:
- Player's Guide to Arcanis (classes, feats)
- Magic of Arcanis (classes, feats)
- Monster books are easier to allow, and I definitely will be using many of them that are not WotC.
- "Ask."
