”You should tread your heroes better!”


The Realm of Serenaria Aurea is a divers realm with rich landscapes and plentiful reassures. However, it is also a dangerous place full of monstrous beasts and creatures of dread. And throughout the ages, men and women seeking to make a name for themselves, have traveled the realm seeking fame, fortune, and glory. And none have ever been so successful and well known in this than a group of adventurers whom have transcended common standing and entered the realms of mythic proportions. T’was a thousand years past that since those heroes did make a name for themselves. These Olympian saviors in their time slew dragons, thwarted cults, rescued villages from attack, and saved Lords and Ladies alike. They had ascended into the height of fame. But even these grand heroes fell. They met their end holding back the armies of the nine hells as the portal that had been ripped open was being sealed, giving up their lives for the safety and peace of the realm. And today over a thousand years after their deaths, they are still revered as heroes and will forever be known as the Saviors of Serenaria.

May I ask exactly what the 3.5 PH standards are? I'm sure most are common sense, but could you list some that I might break easily if I was not aware of what they were?

PHB stardard in this case are using the races and classes in the Players hand book 1. (there are other base classes in other books such as PHB2 and class books but I'd like to avoid worrying about them unless someone is familiar with them and would really like to.) Other than that, the other rules do not really apply for this RP seeing as I've removed several components of the game that will no longer be used in oder to make it more forum friendly.

(though I just remembered I should probably add the list of available animal companions and familiars for the classes. opps >.>
-scurries off to do so-)

Questions

Are you familiar with "Tome of Magic"? I would very much like to make a Binder (basic class of that book)

How do you feel about multi classing and prestige classes?

Will there be a level up system?
King of Wackatopia: "I'll guarantee your safety, give you meaning, give you knowledge and something to believe in for the low cost of your personal freedom."

Fang: "Look at you, you're gorgeous, you're beautiful, and when i look into your beautiful eyes all I see is this magnificent elegant creature, full of grace, full of strength. You're mesmerizing. You're intoxicating. I want you near me. I want to indulge you."

Ryan: "If my survival means the death of innocents, then so be it"

Kyliden: "This one is strong. He's brave and takes what he needs. He's a better werewolf then i could ever wish to be."

Diego: "I can't control what i feel, querida mia. This spark will become a big lively fire. It will consume me, it will consume you and everyone around us, and once nothing is left, new life will spring eternal."

Wade: "She made me love her before she sired me. She wanted a companion, a friend, a lover to indulge her throughout the centuries. Her demise filled me with emptiness; she was to give me a purpose and now I'm alone."

I've looked over the tomb of magic and Binder one or twice, but I'm not familiar enough with the class to be quite comfortable with letting it in just yet. Though I can always do a bit of research and start studying it so that one can branch out into it.

which brings to the next question. I'm alright with multiclassing and prestige classes provided that it is not at the start of the RolePlay.
[in the case of the heroes, they can have been multi or prestige classed but after the reincarnation their base or starting class would be what remains of their abilities.]

Leveling up with be based on general roleplay and activity. I'll keep a note of the actions going on and inform persons when their character has amassed enough experience to become more powerful, though it isn't on quite as numerical a standing as the original game. (much like a campaign were the DM doesn't worry about exact EXP and lets you know when you have leveled)

SWEET!

3.5 is what I started on, baby!

User Name: Dracoknight
Character Name: Phrenius Orkland
Race: Halfling
Class: Sorcerer
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Notable Equipment: None
Personality: He was often described as Devil-may-care, and remains that way, however, since the Reincarnation he's extremely reserved, barely using two words when one will suffice, and dismissing words all together if a gesture will do.
Bio: He was born to an Elven father and a Human mother, a Half-Elf who, by the tender age of 15, had begun to manifest the early signs of a budding sorcerer. His mother, whom he lived with, became afraid, almost being injured when he happened to release his power. Once he came out of his trance and saw what he did, he balked at the danger he posed to her, and, packing a few things, left. His father, upon finding out that his son had taken to the streets a month or two later, frantically searched the nearby towns and forests, but to no avail. By that time, Phrenius had already been accepted as the apprentice of an experienced Sage, who taught him how to control his powers.

This continued until the age of 18, when he left his master's influence and joined the band of adventurers that would become the Saviors of Serenaria. He grew close to the members of his group, thinking of them as brothers and sisters, if not in blood, then in loyalty. He continued to travel with them, growing in power until they were unstoppable. Until the Battle of the Nine Hells, that is. He remembered the despair of feeling drained of all his magic, his most powerful spells having left him........then he was awake......and in a much smaller body than before.
Other: Familiar: Was a Falcon, is long dead now.
Appearance : Since the Reincarnation, he stands about 2'11" tall and weighs about 23lbs, thin and wiry, long black hair kept in a ponytail, with fair skin and strikingly bright green eyes.

Drako night I could kiss you right now. The Character is perfectly designed, and I don't even have to change anything for the reincarnation. (though I was planning to role what race you got, it doesn't really matter sense it's a minor detail anyways.)

I actually started with 3ed edition and branched back into a 2E group and eventually went back to 3.5. Been there ever sense. >3

Sorry, I'm so used to having to fix and tweak characters because something didn't fit the setting that I'm just ecstatic that I didn't have to.

And yes, I've been doing some research and I definitely think that if the character can find a vestige which wouldn't sway the alignment into evil (unless they're playing a character outside of the group) they could certainly multiclass out into Binder. I'm still doing some more research, but so far it seems perfectly alright.

Good to know, Jester! \

BTW - I can answer any questions about the PHB 3.5 and DND 3.5 ed in general; I have over 13 books that specifically relate to 3.5 :3 I used to be such a nerd.

I still am. :w
I've got hard copies of the PHB and DMG (friend of mine lost my copy of the MM....fucking twat.)
and I've got 16 Ebooks (of use, the Deluxe character sheets wont' do us much good.), including the PHB2 and the first three MM's.
I'll go ahead and pop out the actual list so that we know what information we have available.
DM guild, PHB, PHB2, MM, MM2, MM3, Book of Vile Darkness, Arms and Equipment Guild, Defenders of the Faith, Libris Mortis, Masters of the Wild, Song and Silence, Sword and Fist, Tome and Blood, Complete Arcane, Dragonomicon, Fiend Folio, races of the wild, and Savage species.
Some of them the files are a bit corrupted but for the most part it's all running smooth.

User Name: Wackman
Character Name: Wade Ackington
Race: Human
Class: Fighter
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Good
Weapons:
Armor:
Notable Equipment:

Personality:
Wade is a good guy. He’s very simple and doesn’t really want a lot out of life. He simply does what he does because he happens to be good at it. He’s very protective of his comrades and hates evil. He’s a bit pious, often mistaken for a paladin, but he is very willing to break rules if they in turn aren’t helping the citizens.
He works very hard and trains a lot in order to better hone his skills, and is fully willing to take a hit for one of his comrades.

Bio:

A farmer’s son, he grew up cultivating crops with his father and his many siblings since he could remember. Then in his teens, he enrolled in the army to see the world.

He’s fought many battles and grew in reputation and in ranks, but grew tired of the constant discipline he had to go through. After quitting the army, he decided to venture on his own, that’s when he met them.

Together, he and his newfound friends went and discovered all sorts of dungeons and treasures and took down various powerful foes. They were a well-oiled machine, until it happened; a losing battle, The Battle of Nine Hells, and a failed spell. He didn’t know what had happened, but when he woke up he felt… weak… and no longer a half-orc as he used to be.

Other: In his memories there is a strange rituals that involve an odd symbol, he has yet to decipher what it means

Appearance : Wade is now human. He stands at 5’8 and weighs 185 pounds. He still has a muscular frame, but is less impressive and green then the previous one. He has messy black hair, dark brown eyes and doesn’t wear any of his old battle scars.

alright mate, the character looks good save for a few things that need to be wiggled out. The heroes when they're reincarnated don't have anything they had on them during the time of death because the only thing that was effected by the spell is their soul(and in turn mind.) This includes being starch naked. >.< (not to worry, there will be some options for everyone once it gets started.)
And the only other thing that we need to touch on is that the minor things like bed role or tent wouldn't need to be noted in the equipment when you get it. Everything else can go under what I like to call 'adventure's gear' which is basic adventuring equipment like rope, bedrolls, flint and steel and so froth. I didn't want to be TOO anal retentive about the minor things. (though something like a compass, or trade kits and such should be mentioned.)

nope, no weapons or equipment. Literally nothing on their bodies. they wake up bleed'n naked.
And also, I'm not going to let you know what you where reincarnated into.
-one dice role later-
You need to chance your race and appearance to a halfling. Because that is what you've woken up as.

and looks good wackman. I'll go ahead and add you up and start cooking up the IC thread. Soon as Silvers done changing his we can profile we can get started.
