Righto. Do you have any equipment PDFs? The ones from Crystal Keep were taken down.

And how many feats do we start with?

For the two trait and two heroic traits, where are the rules on that? Which PDF?

Normal drow. I want to try and stick with the player character format as much as possible. I am also finding it difficult to use the character generator, so I will do it on there and make changes manually. Are Scorpian Chain (Drow) available? They are two handed 1d6 reach weapons, bonuses to trip and disarm, and can use weapon finesse feat on them.

Could you post one of those item/weapon PDFs from the times we played 3.5? Also, are Drows "kill on sight" hated or "don't get close to them because they're scary" hated?

I'm up for today, if you're ready for that.

Are Drow necessarily chaotic evil? I was thinking more chaotic neutral.

That is one way, through claiming a throne and then warfare (or actually, fabricate claims). The second way is to just wait around for their king to die and get into a personal union once in a while.

Personal Union: Basically you have a royal marriage and then the other country's king dies without an heir. Now your leader is the leader of the personal union (or vice versa if your king does). Inheritence: When your king, which is the leader of the personal union, dies, there is a small chance (10%ish base and higher depending on how large your country is compared) that you get all their territories and cores on them.

Heh, choosing a hated race that does not do well in the sun is not exactly advantageous. :P Which rulebook/sets are we using?

Drows have different advantages and disadvantages (and kewl weapons) than regular elves. I haven't chosen Drow yet, but I am looking into it. Otherwise, probaly some other variant of elf.

I will probaly want to play as a Drow, so I will just be figuring that out. --- And I can't find the Drow rules anywhere.

Could you explain the difference between this version and the 3.5 that we were playing before?

Did it change from IN? I thought Noble republics were the only republics to have unions (since they're run by aristocrats and stuff)

Dungeoneering marathon? :)

I'm pretty sure that's 2,000 a year?

Ross, do you have the week off from school/university/wherever you learn during the day?

It seems that you are a "world war" starting kinda player. You seem to maintain an extensive network of alliances and treaties, designed to keep your enemies at bay. Meanwhile, I just look at stuff that happens to be my core and I smash it to pieces, trying to sneak a war when its allies as distracted. I guess that's why I always have skyhigh infamy. :)

Well I remembered to convert to a despotic monarchy just before I force-annexed Tuscany, Urbino, Rome, Siena, and Pisa, so thankfully all the countries didn't go rogue and smash me to pieces. It was a pretty close call, but it should have lowered enough within ten or twenty years so I can switch to Noble republic (great for inheriting! :D). Currently I am just waiting for cores (50 years, yikes), but I have five merchants in both Venizia and Lubeck (nice 250 ducats a year combined), making around 100 ducats a year with 0.20 inflation, so I should have thousands of ducats for when I need to colonize or build a twenty stack of calvary to defend myself from whoever tries to steal my money. I am thinking that each of my provinces should have a workshop (+2 tax income), a courthouse (-2 revolt risk), and a constable (+2 revolt risk, +50% tax) just to wipe the floor clean with money. It is hilarious, because I am making as much money as Castille or France atm. After smashing so many weak nations, my prestige is hovering around 90. Love strong economy. :thumbsup:

Too bad for Naples in your game. In my game, I smashed Sicily right off the bat after they allied with the Pope and broke their alliance with Aragon (big mistake), and proceeded to annex them once the truce ended. I think I'm in a relatively good position right now. Three or four universities gained (just waiting for cores to form Italy) and 1000 ducats just waiting to be used for workshops and colonization, once I get the technology levels. Hopefully the other Europeans will ignore my infamy of 35 and excommunication. :)
