Wild:Characters
Reminder
Please remember to check the other pages in this category! (Sources, Rules, Alterations)
Don't forget to ask me if you might like something that is not mentioned anywhere, including custom material.
Attributes
- Twenty four point buy (see link at left).
- Then choose three attributes each to which you will add 1d4.
- Any stat that is already greater than 14 cannot be further boosted by this roll; pick another stat.
- You do not roll the 1d4 then choose. You say "I'm adding to Strength, Constitution and Wisdom" and then roll the 1d4 for each, in order. It's not assigned after rolling, but before.
- Apply racial modifiers.
Race and Class
- If you do not understand how ECL works (base hit dice + class levels + level adjustment) works, talk to me.
- Reminder:
- Templates are allowed!
- (Plain, un-templated) Humans are not.
- Campaign-specific races (including Eberron, Forgotten Realms) are available.
- Your character will start at ECL 4.
- No more than 3 of this ECL can be from player classes.
- If your race has no level adjustment or racial hit dice, one of your levels must be an NPC class level (adept, aristocrat, commoner, expert, warrior). Or, preferably, talk to me and we'll cook you up a level adjustment mutation.
- If you want to play a race that has an initial ECL of 5 or 6, we might be able to work something out. Those above 6 are not feasible (at least until PCs die and get replaced at a higher starting level).
Fractional Bonuses
This campaign will use fractional bonuses. It is NOT optional. Your first level (and only first level) will have the initial +2 bonus to one or more saves. All other levels, including the first level of classes you multiclass in to (including prestige classes) will not give the +2. They will only give their fractional bonus equivalent.
Hit Dice
First hit die is maximum, as standard. Then, all further hit dice will be rolled, with rerolls as follow:
Reroll a 1 on d4, d6.
Reroll 1-2 on d8, d10.
Reroll 1-3 on d12.
Equipment
Equipment will be half way between the DMG's NPC value and PC's value for that ECL. This is 4350 GP for an ECL 4 character. No starting equipment may be crafted according to magic item creation feats, though you may save the money to craft it in game. As much or as little of this may be spent on any one item. SRD-only magic items.
Background
As part of your background, I want you to help participate in world building. I want you to create an island your character is from. Put as much effort into it as you want to, but please give me a base couple paragraphs to work with. Basic geography of the island? Political and religious structures? People or other entities of note?
You may use Randy's questionaire should you find yourself at a lack of direction.
Misc
- No evil alignments.
- Please select a deity, or have a really good reason not to have one.
- You may be aged.
Leveling
Remember Action Points and Daryl Points (see here).
