[Seraphi]

Hey.

 

I recently worked out how to properly use the Maptool program, which allows me to host D&D games with my fellow tavernians through the wonders of the interwebnets.

 

The reason I have created this new thread is to make it easier to update players with essential information regarding new campaigns, items, experience and such.

 

Just post if you want to join in, I'll be adding the character template here eventually, but for now it's on the other thread.

 

Also, we are playing edition 3.5.

[hide=Character Template]

Name:

(Try to make it something at least a bit fantasy. If you can’t think of anything, try this:

http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=fantasynameex)

 

Gender:

(Doesn’t affect gameplay)

 

Race:

(Each race gives specific bonuses. Make sure to check your races bonuses and note them down here for later.)

 

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm

 

Class:

(This is really important. Make sure to pick a class you like, and configure ability scores, inventory, feats and spells as such.)

 

(Also note that wizards and sorcerers get to choose a school specialization, gaining an extra spell from that school per day, but giving up two other schools in the process.

Clerics get to pick two domains, gaining an extra spell per level from those two domains.)

 

(Druids must state their animal companion here.)

 

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/classes.htm

(You want the “Base Classes”. Prestige classes come a while later.)

 

Alignment:

(Pick one from here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm#theNineAlignments)

 

 

Description:

(Here’s where the characters backstory goes. Please try to put an effort into this, as I like to read them occasionally. I don’t particularly care how long it is.)

 

Ability Scores:

(These affect a large chunk of the game, and you should try to focus on the ones that your character requires. Different spellcasters require different abilities to use their spells.

This is also where your racial abilities come in. You should add them now.)

 

(All Ability scores start at 8, which gives a modifier of -1. You start with 30 points to put into these abilities. For 8-12, each ability score costs one point. 12-14, they cost two points, 14-16, they cost 3, and so on.

Each two ability score levels gives you another +1 to that abilities specific modifiers)

 

Strength: 8

Dexterity: 8 (Remember, Dexterity gives an AC bonus as well)

Constitution: 8 (Constitution affects HP, so is quite important, but not required, for everyone.)

Intelligence: 8 (This is very important to wizards or people who want a lot of skill ranks.)

Wisdom: 8 (Important for Clerics and Druids mostly.)

Charisma: 8 (Charisma affects Paladins, Sorcerers, and Bards mostly.)

 

(Add your ability modifiers as necessary, but remember the point system.)

 

Spells:

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/spellLists.htm

(If you are a spellcasting class, you get to pick spells at each new level, as well as level one. Spells become more powerful the higher their level, to a maximum of 9th level spells.)

 

(Sorcerers get four level 0 spells and two level 1 spells at first level, and then more spells as levels are gained.)

 

(Wizards can select any spells (Of the correct level) they wish ahead of time, but can only cast a certain number of each spell level (Less than sorcerers))

 

(Clerics can cast any spell which they are allowed, given their alignment, but can only cast a certain number of each level per day, including domain spells. However, they can also convert any of their pre-prepared spells into a cure/inflict wounds (Dependant on alignment) spell at will.)

 

(Druids work in much the same way as clerics, but without domains. They can convert one of their pre-prepared spells into a summoning spell.)

 

(For any other class spells, see the class feature list from the link near the top of the page)

 

Feats:

(All starting characters get to pick one feat. Humans get one extra feat, and fighters get a further extra feat. All feats have different effects, and some can vastly alter your character. Make sure to pick wisely. Some feats require you to pick a certain weapon which they are used with. These feats will ONLY work when this weapon is equipped, so make sure you are certain of using that weapon before choosing these)

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/feats.htm

 

Skills:

(Skills are, well, skills. They affect what you are good at, from forging documents to trick people, to climbing things and swimming. Skill ranks cost points. They are shown in your class’s information here: http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/classes.htm . You will generally get 4x more points at first level than you will at each level after that.) (If you take a class skill rank, you get one rank for each skill point, if you take a non-class skill, each rank costs two. Your class skills can be found on your class section in the link above.) (Just put the number of ranks you want next to the skill name below)

(The maximum rank of a class skill is your character level+3. The maximum rank in a non-class skill is half this number)

Ability Scores

It would appear there has been trouble working out ability scores. I'm putting this here to help those who have trouble with that.

(I think I was the one who caused the confusion... *Sigh*)

 

Okay, here are the modifier lists and point costs for each score up to 20.

 

 

Extra Spell Slots

This is a table for spell slot modifiers. Your classes spellcasting ability (Charisma for sorcerers, Intelligence for wizards) will be the ability used in the table.

 

 

You get these spells ALONG WITH your normal spells (See class sheet for normal spells.)

[Seraphi]

Aaaannnd reserved.

 

You can post now.

[Retech]

-Does a little jig-

[Seraphi]

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Each player who participated in this test campaign gains 50xp (Sorry Retech, 100 was too generous for something this easy)

 

Karl looted a light flail (Martial weapon, 1d6 damage) in the last session, Jen looted a bag of 150GP, and a useless dirty rag.

 

You guys need to keep track of items, and occasionally upload a .pdf of it so I can store it here.

Inventory:

157 Gold Pieces

5 'Useless' Rags

Wand of Acid Splash(8 Charges)

Map

 

 

 

Will we get a chance to go to the market and buy stuff?

[Seraphi]

Yes. I will sometimes provide you that ability at the start of a campaign.

 

Also, Retech, remember that it is a wand of acid splash. Acid in general is too nonspecific.

[Seraphi]

I have finished the new campaign map, and have all the resources required to run the new campaign.

 

It's a pre-written campaign called "The Burning Plague". It's level 1, although still rather tough. You will definitely need Rocco and at least 3 other people. Or another tank and 3 other people.

 

If said people show up, I shall be running at 12:00 GMT (Midnight)

[Earth]

allo! oim here.

[Seraphi]

We may need to wait an extra 15 or so minutes, since Paul is making a character :-)

[Retech]

Here, but I'll have to stop sometime in the middle to eat dinner.

[Seraphi]

Heh, you take like 5 minutes to do that, so now worries. We're now starting at 12:25, to give Paul time to make a character.

[Retech]

That's 40 minutes, right? Should I select my spells again?

[Seraphi]

Thats in about 20 minutes.

 

You can go ahead and select spells, yes.

 

Grim should as well.

 

Put them in a notepad format and send them to me.

 

In the meantime, I'll get some D&D fuel. Doritoes and lemonade. Food of champions.

[Grim_]

(One question: How do we gain levels in characteristics?)

EDIT: My spells:

Level 0: all heal minor wounds

Level I: Summon monster1, magic stones, sanctuary

Level 2: heal moderate wounds.

That should take care of it.

[Seraphi]

You get a point to put in your ability scores every few levels. You get skill points every level.

 

That ability point does not follow the wierd upgrade system. It just adds one to the ability score, regardless of what it is already.

[Earth]

hmm. runescape is much diffrent when i played it back in 05..

[Nexaduro]

I'm partly done with making a character, I might join the session.

[Retech]

Can we please have a chance to stop by a town? I want to buy myself a real weapon.

[Seraphi]

You will.

 

Paul is adding the finishing touches to his character. Nex is going to be allowed to join halfway through if need be.

[Retech]

Oh btw, I am replacing false life with the scorching ray spell.

[Earth]

great. ima jsut run around in runescape for a bit longer.

[Seraphi]

You guys can go ahead and connect while we wait. It'll give you a chance to buy and sell things.

 

Remember that you are the one who will be keeping track of items.

 

Every so often I'll ask you to upload a .pdf of the characters so I can keep a list.

[Earth]

no connection <_<
