Thread: Revenge of the Monsters D&D Pathfinder Faerun 3.5 Updated!

For generations adventurers have tracked down the savage and evil races to loot them and slaughter them in some type of perverse culling ritual before stealing all of their hard won items, food, and trade. Orcs have been refused the right to trade because elves find them offensive, goblins are seen like large versions of cockroaches and exterminated in droves with no care to if they are man, woman, or child, and kobolds are destroyed by gnomes for some age old slight that their very God started! Well, enough is definitely enough! You will be portraying one of the monstrous or evil races that has been wronged by humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, and gnomes. Your tribes have been kept sociologically stunted thanks to the puerile racism of the so called advanced races that keeps anything they view as unattractive or just disdainful from fully realizing themselves. Who is to say that orcs could not be as smart and talented as any elf if given the right education? But no, the slender bigots keep their hated foe in savage and tribal locations. Who is to say that goblins cannot understand love and affection the way humans can? Humans, the youngest of the vicious species, are more a plague than any goblin tribe has ever been! You and your friends, family, and other close friends were gathered at a meeting of trading and culture. It was a festival between myriad races and other groups who were shunned by the decent humanoids of the world. Except something went wrong. The local communities got word of the gathering and got both frightened and greedy. There was gold and food and magic at this gathering, along with lots of slave labor. Thus, during the third day, it was attacked. You saw your family and friends and strangers slaughtered before your very eyes. Your siblings, your parents, children of all types. Under the corpses where you hid you saw elves and humans rape young and wounded people of your race and others. You saw gnomes fastening slaves for their mines along with dwarves. You saw Halflings looting everything they could get their hands on. You had to wait, you hadn't been seen. A day later you found out you were not the only survivors, others had lived and not been captured. You knew you had to do something! This type of barbarism could not go unanswered! You would no longer be preyed upon by thrill seeking adventurers, no more be a practice shield for squires, and your riches would not feed a lazy mob! It is time to right the balance of power. This will be going on in AIM on Fridays, time yet to be decided. Add me to AIM and I'll get people situated. Note 2 I have decided against Psionics, just too much bookwork. So, mechanically, the rules are thus Your race must be monstrous in some ways. Here are the examples Half-orcs Tiefling Goblin Half-Ogre Orc Kobold Savage Species Drider Skulk Zombified any race Note Pretty much every race will be house ruled in some way or another, I would prefer no modifiers to Level outside of 2 without a great backgroundreasoning or a savage species approach. If you want to play a race that is not up there be sure to ask about it and I will see how it works. Though, no drow.

I want to set this up Pathfinder-like, so some classes will be reworked, as will races. Choose a race you wish to know of and I'll give you my rework, as with the class. This way I don't have to deluge with rules that may or may not ever be used. Here is the general Fighter Base Attack d10 hit die d12 for Barbarians or any class that gets it Rogue Base d8 Wizard Base d6 Feats Every odd level 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc Ability Increase One every fourth level Favored Class Choose a favored class for your character, that is your favored class. Skills will be the Pathfinder skill set, so you are limited to your class level in rating but get a 3 if it is a class skill. At character creation you just get Class Bonus Intelligence in skill points. Example, a Rogue would get 8 Int Bonus at character creation and could have a rank of one in every skill. At level 2 they'd get the same but could raise the skills to 2. Check here for more info !-- m --a classpostlink relnofollow href m -- Roll seven d6, drop the lowest score. Do not start with a stat lower than 10 on the die rolls. If you have a negative modifier after that say a Half-ogres -2 charisma and a 10 charisma 8 that is fine. If you have nothing above a 14 re do your rolls. If you do not have at least one eighteen turn your highest score into an 18. Do it in that order. Do not roll your hit die, you will get the maximum points per level for a more epic feel. Sneak attacks will only not effect the following certain Abominations, oozes, plants, and any specific class that grants immunity. Everything else can be sneak attacked. Sneak attack stacks with spells as well as other abilities eldritch blast, scorching ray, etc. The rest will be handled by a race and class basis. I'd say a maximum of about five to six. Four positions are already taken, they are thus NeurokShinobi Water Genasi Monk Broomhandle45 Tiefling Fighter Dropped Hero Tiefling Warlock Dropped Dramamine Kobold Druid Minthulf Half-Minotaur Diabolus OracleBard Arcturus Goblin Rogue And now for a game.
