Feats

List of Feats Permitted. Leadership is not permitted.

Spells

  • To tone down lethality, spells of the "save or die" variety will not be used at all. This would also include spells such as Charm Person, Suggestion, and etc.
  • The polymorph spells (Polymorph, Alter Self, etc.) will require that you use only monsters (no templates) from the Monster Manual and your forms must be approved in advance.

Spells from sources other than the Player's Handbook and Spell Compendium are encouraged but will have to be reviewed and approved.

Equipment (Mundane and Magic Items)

  • 120,000 gp to spend on anything.
  • An additional 40,000 gp can be spent on consumables only. Consumables cost four times the normal price.
    • Consumables are typically single use items, such as but not limited to, potions, scrolls, oils, wands, etc.

All magic items outside of the DMG must be reviewed and approved.

Players

  • Eric: Shadowcaster Counterspeller and dispeller. Gives bonues to saves (and a hardy one to Ref). The "anti-magic" gnome. OR Mace-Man In case the group wants a frontline damage dealer.
  • Daryl: Warlock, perhaps?
  • Frank: Hexblade Debuffer and frontline with high saves
  • Michael: ??? Turning paladin or buff artificer(will cause equip probs)? Prolly do both & discard.
