Game Description
The Blood War. It consumes the Lower Planes and there ain't a berk on any section of the planes 'cept a Clueless who don't know about it. What most cutters don't know is what goes on in the middle of it. The fiends, celestials and mortals who get all tangled up in the plots and the politics. Cutters who lose their souls or worse in the chaos. You think that's bad? You ain't heard anything yet, berk. Wait 'til you hear about happens to fiends who go stag...
- Character background will be as important as character builds. This is going to be an incredibly tough campaign, yes, but you're going to be a unit 'in the trenches' so good, well-developed characters are going to be important.
- Try to make sure your character will be able to function within a party. Evil characters are fine, but try to stay away from the insane end of the spectrum.
History: Describe where your character is from, what happened to them before this game rolled around, the like. This is also the place to talk about your characters past adventures and work. Given you're at level 14, your character most likely has a backlog of adventurers and stories in their past. you're welcome to give a general outline or go into specifics, it's up to you.Personality: Give me a good sense of your character's likes, dislikes, moral code, personal quirks, etc. You should also include goals (if any), wants, needs, etc. You're going into a long term assignment that may or may not be a suicide mission and it's going to affect your mental state, so consider how they'll react to stress.Planar Associations: What part of the planes are you from,and what associations does that grant you. Description: This should be pretty self-explanatory. Gear and possessions: Briefly describe any significant gear you have, magical or no. What you carry can sometimes say a lot.Theme: Because, why not?
character not a build you'd run through Oblivion with.ToB (Huge, huge fan of this supplement. Go nuts.)UA class variants and traits (Flaws allowed within reason, don't abuse this)Heroes of Horror (fun little book and the depravity scale makes for interesting flavor in the evil aligned planes)Complete series (All around useful)Planar Handbook (Some interesting options all around for planar travel and class variants.)Book of Exalted Deeds (Fantastic book for good aligned characters, just remember that you're trying to be subtle. Also, a Slayer of Domiel may be any good [the lawful restriction never made sense to me] and the Risen Martyr PrC is categorically not allowed.) Book of Vile Darkness (Same as BoED, but for evil characters. Just try not to get too nutty on me. These characters need to work together not try and devour each other's souls.)XPH (Note that I'm not a huge fan of psionics as I always felt that it never really jived with the arcane/divine spellcasting flavors. This is really going to take some convincing on your part, but if you present a good character i'm not going to say no. Lose the psicrystals though) Planescape Campaign Setting Material (particularly the Planes of Conflict, Planes of Law, Faces of Evil, Hallowed Ground and Hellbound supplements. All the material should be available at Planewalker.com).Races of books (see the 'Complete' series as to why.)The Arms and Equipment Guide (as someone who plays melee heavy characters, I personally can't say no to adding more stabby things to the repertoire). The Miniatures Handbook (Along with some very solid feats, The Marshal is an incredibly sold base class and the PrCs such as the Havoc Mage and Tactical Soldier are just fun).The Manual of the Plane s (Useful source material, but I'll be drawing on Planescape as well, os expect something's [like the paraelemental planes] to not always line up.)Dragon magazine items/races/classes etc. is the same way, but basically assume if I can't find it, it's not allowed.
