I'm planning on using D&D 3.5e. Knowledge of the system ain't required, as I can help you make a character or make a character for you based on your input. All rolls will be handled by me. You just have to try something, and I'll do all the rolls to check if you succeed or not. If you want to play a spellcaster however, you will have to invest a bit of time reading up on the spells available to you, which are available from the WotC website (link (http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35)).<br/><br/><strong>Allowed materials</strong>:<br/>Characters by the PHB can do just fine, but people that want to use other books to make their characters are just as welcome. I however, want to be able to read up on all the abilities, so I'm limiting this to the books in my possession and The Mind's Eye (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/PsionicsPDF2.zip):<br/>Player's Handbook (I & II)<br/>Dungeon Master Guide (I & II)<br/>Monster Manual (I, II, III, IV & V)<br/>Expanded Psionic Handbook<br/>Planar Handbook<br/>Miniatures Handbook<br/>Unearthed Arcana<br/>Arms and Equipment Guide<br/>Complete Warrior/Divine/Arcane/Adventurer/Psionic/Mage/Champion/Squindrel<br/>Frostburn/Stormwrack/Sandstorm/Cityscape/Dungeonscape<br/>Races of Destiny/Stone/the Wild/the Dragon/Ebberon<br/>The Book of Dragons/Undead/Abberations<br/>Book of Exalted Deeds/Vile Darkness<br/>Hordes of the Abyss<br/>Heroes of Battle/Horror<br/>Fiend Folio<br/>Exemplars of Evil<br/>Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords<br/><br/><br/><br/>Prices as per the PHB. I'm not really gonna bother setting up different economics for different villages and cities as the players will rarely be able to access these. Women cost between 1 and 10 gold, depending on appearance, though exceptional specimen might go for as high as 50 gold in cities. Exotic variants like elves could go for 100 or 200 gold. If a woman is claimed for the prince, her family will be compensated with 1000 gold. Women are sometimes sold again after being used, but that never goes for more than a few gold maximum.<br/><br/>I'm planning on being explicit on the misfortune, so this will probably go into the heavy category. As I said, there'll be more in the wilderness than the hands of those chauvinistic human male pigs, so it'll be exotic.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Refuge Maidens</strong>(main characters):<br/>These characters are what the story is about. The king wants to have them captured, and sends his hunters out to do so, while the allies try to keep them out of harms way.<br/>- Female players only. There'll be sexual interaction with these characters on more than one occasion, and I'm not good at getting into detail when it involves a male player.<br/>- Lots of misery can befall these characters. You should be comfortable with your character befalling these circumstances. I will check your O/O thread of course and make sure not to use certain aspects you don't want me to, but you should be ok with playing a victim in general.<br/>- Female characters only. Also, the king only desires untouched girls.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Since only the most charming are recruited to serve the ruler, these need to have a charisma of at least 16 after racial modifiers.<br/>- The idea of the story is that the maidens actually wanna stay out of the hands of males, so the characters themselves either shouldn't be submissive in nature, or be submissive to females only.<br/>- Maidens start at ECL 3 (level 3 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Maidens use 32 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Maidens are just released prisoners, and at the start don't possess anything more than a single set of clothes that barely covers the body.<br/>- Maidens come from any city but Kobal City (it doesn't make sense for them to be in the caravan, if they were in the King's city from the start). Maidens start on the road between Zanghar and Daron.<br/><br/><strong>Allies</strong>(optional, sidekick characters):<br/>These characters are willing to help the maidens in their endeavours and perils and stand by their sides.<br/>- Players of both genders are acceptable for allies.<br/>- Allies are most likely male characters.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Allies start at ECL 3 (level 3 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Allies use 24 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Allies can have equipment worth of 500g. This needs to be spent, you can only have max 5g in coin at the start of the game.<br/>- Creatures that are trying to get their way with the maidens, won't be bothered to more than just merely knock you out, so you can't interrupt the fun. I'm not going to write any creature on male stuff, sorry. Don't expect a lot of sexual income towards you from my side. Of course you are free to build up relationships with one or more maidens, but nothing non-concensual, as you're actually supposed to be helping them.<br/>- Female allies are allowed, but then they'd have to fear the same perils that the maidens would. They have the same requirements, so female players only, and you have to be ok with being a victim in general. You don't have to have a charisma of 16, and you still only get 24 points to spend on your ability scores. You can start with coin (max 5g), but don't count on being able to spend it anywhere.<br/>- Keep in mind you'd play a sidekick character, and though I'll do my best to make the story as enjoyable to you as I can, the actual story is not about you.<br/>- Allies can come from anywhere, but they have to have a reason to be close to the maidens from the start of the game.<br/><br/><strong>Hunters</strong>(optional, sidekick characters):<br/>These characters are working for the king, and doing their best to track the maidens down.<br/>- Players of both genders are acceptable for hunters.<br/>- Hunters are most likely male characters.<br/>- Since the story plays in a human kingdom, your race would most likely be human, but if people want to play other races, that's fine, just make up a small story as to why your character is living in human lands.<br/>- Hunters start at ECL 5 (level 5 if you're playing a standard race).<br/>- Hunters use 24 point buy system to determine ability scores.<br/>- Hunters can have equipment worth of 2000g. This needs to be spent, you can only have max 200g in coin at the start of the game.<br/>- I'm not going to send creatures to sexually harass the hunters (though they will meet up with a lot of creatures interested in killing them, it's D&D after all). Hunters can however have their way with female npc's along the way (no male-male action with NPC's please), if it adds towards the storyline in any way (like using it as a part of an interrogation for example). I'm not entirely sure about hunters that managed to capture a maiden at the moment. Storywise, a woman out on her own is fair game, which means the hunter can have his way with her. I'd like to consult the maiden players on that first, though. If one of the maiden players is against it, it's not going to happen.<br/>- Female hunters are allowed, but they'd be traveling with male hunters and probably be used for their sexual pleasure in addition to their normal uses. I'll leave the use to the other hunter players. Any details should be discussed with the hunters, not me, so I have no objection towards male players taking this role. Female hunters get the regular 2000g to spend on equipment, but can't have a single copper at the start of the game. It's allowed to give your leftover money to one of the male hunter characters before the game starts (as long as that doesn't bring him over the 200g limit).<br/>- Keep in mind you'd play a sidekick character, and though I'll do my best to make the story as enjoyable to you as I can, the actual story is not about you.<br/>- Hunters can come from anywhere, but are stationed in Kobal City at the start of the game.<br/><br/><br/><br/>All characters receive max hit points at first level, and average after that. Round up at even levels and down at odd levels.<br/><br/>For people that know how to make a character, but don't know how point buy works: Maidens receive 32 points. All other players receive 24 points. From these points, you need to buy 6 scores, and award each of those scores to one of your abilities. Apply racial modifiers after that. The extra ability point hunters received at level 4 (unless they took 2 Level Adjustment) is also applied afterwards.<br/><br/>Score 8 costs 0 points.<br/>Score 9 costs 1 points.<br/>Score 10 costs 2 points.<br/>Score 11 costs 3 points.<br/>Score 12 costs 4 points.<br/>Score 13 costs 5 points.<br/>Score 14 costs 6 points.<br/>Score 15 costs 8 points.<br/>Score 16 costs 10 points.<br/>Score 17 costs 13 points.<br/>Score 18 costs 16 points.
