Clarification: This game uses D&D 3.5E as a base... but it has been heavily homebrewed. Custom made Base Classes replacing the Core Classes seen in 3.5E, buffed/modified races, a simplified skill system, and the use of the Wheel of Time magic system are only some of the changes made; You have been warned! Level: Characters start at 5th level, which is currently the APL of the Party. Ability Scores: Use the Pathfinder Point Buy system (AND ONLY THE POINT BUY SYSTEM), before adding racial modifiers. You have 25 points to spend. Classes: You may choose to be any of the following custom made classes (See the Classes Thread): the Armsman (Fighter), The Wanderer (Rogue), the Woodsman (Ranger), the Martialist (Monk), the Commander (Support), or the Channeler (Wizard/Sorcerer). You are allowed to multiclass between up to two classes starting out. Races: The races listed in the Playable Races thread are the races you are allowed to play as. Tiefling and Aasimar will also be allowed, once I add them to the Playable Races thread. Background: Choose a background package from the background thread (For all races except Ogier), or ask me to create a custom one for you. Apply all benefits and penalties from said background to your character, on top of all racial traits. The background package takes the place of your 1st level standard feat. Skills: Your class skills is formed from the combined list of all your class skills and background skills, plus 1 profession skill of your choice. In other words, if it is listed as a class skill for any class skill or background you have, you count it as a class skill! Maximum ranks in a class skill is 3 + Character Level as usual, while max ranks for cross-class skills is 1/2 that number. Some skills have been merged into other skills. Important: Cross Class skills cost only 1 skill point to increase by one rank! Note: All characters receive 2 free ranks in a single profession skill of their choice, in addition to standard skill points! Feats: Your 1st level standard feat has been replaced with your Background Package. Other than that, characters receive standard feat as normal. Some feat have been altered from what they are listed as in the books. Check the Feat thread or ask me to find out about changes, as I have many feat additions and alterations that I have yet to include in the thread. Equipment and Starting Money: All players start out with starting gear according to their background, 1 Masterwork weapon of the player's choice, and an amount of gold equal to 100 x Character Level.
