I'm thinking on running a 4th edition DnD campaign that is about a land that phases in and out of existence in areas. It'll have a few of it's own custom races but nothing too bad. I'm not certain how far I should take the content ratings so if people want to also tell me how far they want to go that would be cool.

I would be interested, ANy rating is good by me..higher is better though

I am interested for 4th edition game but I wonder what sort of world is a one which haves areas which phase in and out? Do you speak perhaps a dimensionally unstable world?

cayen

a powerful mage tried to summon an evil god to the land. The spell itself failed resulting in the dimensional plane being very unstable. So each time an area "Phases out" It's replaced by the same area on a different plane.

Because of this Planar instability there will be two races other then the ones listed in the PHB that will be playable.

Ah, I see. Anycase I am interested :).

Available Races:

Any race in the core rule book, plus the following

Kobolds of Norrich
Green Ones (goblin)



Kobolds of Norrich: From the MM;
     Kobolds REVERE dragons and tend to dwell in and around
        places where dragons are known to lair. They skulk in the
        darkness, hiding from stronger foes and swarming to overwhelm
        weaker ones. Kobolds are cowardly and usually flee once
        bloodied unless they have a strong leader present.

The dragon Norrich has taken his clan under his wing. He uses his kobold cult to keep the dark creatures of the west at bay. While most people fear the dragon for what he is, they are in more fear of the west. His kingdom is the only way for the creatures to come.
   Norrich sends his kobold clan members out to the world to learn more and become more relaxed with the world around them

While Kobolds are normally evilly these kobolds are unaligned. Each has some sort of trinket to Norrich which they consider to be their god in living form. This trinket reminds them of who they pray to.

they have the following Racial Traits:

Average Height: 3' 5" - 4' 8"
Average Weight: 50-75 lbs

Ability Score: +2 Dex +2 Con
Size: small
Speed: 6 squares
Vision: Low-Light

Languages: Draconic; Common
Skill Bonus: +2 Stealth +2 Dungeoneering

Blood Frenzy: You gain a +1 racial bonus for damage against bloodied foes
Group Strength: -1 attack When your not within 5 squares of an ally; +1 to
               stealth When your not within 5 squares of an ally

Re: Request To Join Information
   
Goblin: From the MM;
           Goblins are WICKED TREACHEROUS creatures that love plunder cruelty;
              they're not very big or strong but they're dangerous when they gang
              up.
           Goblins breed quickly and can live most anyway from caves to ruins to
             city's sewer. They survive by raiding and robbery taking every
             usable item they can carry from thier victims

Green ones: No one truly knows what the green ones are up to. For the most part they are one of the only non-violent goblin race. They build things, creating a mix of magic powered technology and spell works. They make a living off the products they sell. Although no one wants to ask them were they get their components. Many think a goblin is simply a goblin and that they steal from caravans, and other raids on more 'civilized' people.


they have the following Racial Traits:

Average Height: 3' 10" - 4' 2"
Average Weight: 50-85 lbs

Ability Score: +2 Int +2 Dex
Size: small
Speed: 5 squares
Vision: Low-Light

Languages: Goblin; Common
Skill Bonus: +2 Arcana +2 Thievery (they are goblins after all)

Jack of all trades: Goblins gain the Jack of all trades feat

Diligence: At first level you choose the encounter powers of a class other then your own and can use that daily.

Survivor: You can use healing surges as if they were at-will; but you only have a max of 4 daily.



there might be a third race I'll post it later on.

I'll start you guys at level 3 you have 520 gp starting gold, you have three magic items:
lvl 2 item
lvl 3 item
lvl 4 item

the only optional suggestion I have is making a 3x3x3 sheet
that stands for 3 Allies, 3 contacts, 3 enemies. that way I have some optional plot devices I can use.

I have yet to get to play 4th edition, even with my friend intending on running a game.  If you've got an opening, count me in.  I have a defender or a Striker ready at a moments notice for the group.

cayen

I have openings go a head and anyone that wants to play send me your character. Also if you want a quick way to build characters: http://www.pathguy.com/cg4.htm

I'd love to play. It'll give me something to do to understand the mechanics of the new edition so I can further my campaign writing onward.

That is if there is still some room. I hope. :D

Also, do you get the three magical items on top of the currency?

yeah that comes straight out of the DM guide. so you get the three magic items + the gold. Also I have not had any characters submitted to me so feel free to send me a character.

I have no desire to partake in a sexually inclined D&D game. Especially not my first experience of fourth edition. Adult; sure, gritty; but not a sexual overtone setting.

thats more of a precaution then anything else. Sex will not be the main focus of the campaign; however I don't like to censor myself either.

Ill throw up a character in the next day or so if there is a spot, I would suggest everyone picks a role ((leader, defender, striker, controller)) so we have a nice mix

Stormgale

I was thinking of either a Defender or a leader role myself

Zaer Darkwail

Hmmm, I think I could play striker (ranger or rogue) or controller (wizard). I make based on what others make and fill slot then.

LordAnubis

I have an Eldrian Ranger and a Dragonborn Paladin I'm customizing to fit the game.  I'd prefer to play the Ranger.  Hopefully this will help people make decisions, but I'll have a Paladin if someone is hard set to play the groups striker and we don't have the numbers for more.

Transgirlenstein

#25
I also had a tiefling fighter idea as well so if you two really want to play the striker or controller, I can do the defender instead.

So right now..
Me: Fighter, warlock

Zaer: Ranger, Rogue or wizard

Stormgale: defender or leader

Lord Anubis: Ranger or Paladin

I was thinking of playing a female tiefling fighter (more I think about it, the more I like the sound of her being like a gladiator) but I like the diea of her having a twin if thats cool with you :)

It is an odd choice..but then I'm the sort who likes interesting concepts like half-orc bards lol

Hehe, well you can invest feat or two for improving infernal wrath which is powerful boost for any damage attack. Also as defender your important stats is Strength and secondary depends what weapon you use. Dex or Con both increases your ability avoid damage so swords, axes, flails, maces, hammers etc are way to go I think.

ZK, I think DM does not mind if you RP non-sexual manner in this game but you must be okay if others do sexual activity (probably in separated thread).

ZK

If that is the case, then I don't mind it at all.

Sended, nice to hear you take leader role ZK :). Warlords are a lot fun as I have noticed. Also can dish a lot damage if they increase their basic attack high as possible and pick some nice powers which have high X weapon damage multiplier number.

She'll be using a two-handed weapon.

Nice :). Any case it is not confirmed I will be tiefling wizard, a twin to tiefling fighter. So controller, leader and defender spots filled and now need just strikers.

LordAnubis

If we have a defender, I'll definatly go with my ranger then.  With us being level three I'll have the encounter power to punish someone for attacking me or a buddy next to me.

I'd be interested as well if there was still room available.  I'm enjoying 4ed so far from my taste of it in the Dungeons of Doom.  If there's still a slot available, I'll come up with something shortly.  Right now I'm definitely leaning toward Warlock.

Sorry for the delay in responding I had a small house fire yesterday that force the evacuation of my computer room. yes it's okay if you want to play in a non sexual manner.

I have 2 questions,

1: can I trade the 4th level item for a 3rd level item and the difference in value?
2: if he says yes to that, anyone have 45 GP my character could owe their's?

Zaer Darkwail

I think it is allowed, so far have heard it is legal to do so and get remaining cash left over between 3lvl and 4lvl item (which is 200gp as I recall, as I myself have two 3lvl items). But why 45 gold?

LordAnubis

Because otherwise I have no food or traveling equipment.  I'm 45 gp short of what I need.  Well 45 GP lets me avoid having to redo the math.

Zaer Darkwail

Ok, you get 45 gold for me to general supplies :).

Got to love when your level 3 and do 1d8+8 damage with each sword.

I almost one shotted a fully healed warlock with 3 level 1 kobolds...

Dual wield bastard swords then your really talking

So As I hear it we Have a wizard, a Fighter, a warlord and a Ranger ((Two bladed I assume))

I shall probably make a rogue, perhaps a warlock

Oh and about the food problem, there is a new ritual list:

Actually Dual weidling long swords is better for me. Eladrin soldier feat, get +2 damage with long swords, so instead of being 1-10 I'm 3-10.

Stormgale

Thats from the online article isnt it?

Is a place still open in the game?

What's from the online article, Eladrin soldier feat?  This is basicly an edited version of the ranger I made for the local game I just haven't gotten to play yet. I've had time to look at the weapons.

Stormgale

The eladrin soldier, the article on the eladrin city if I am not mistaken

LordAnubis

PHB, it's the heroic Racial Feat for the Eladrin.
