DampD Renaissance
items considered unfashionable in the cities:
all sheilds but bucklers.
all weapons but guns, daggers and rapiers.
pretty much all armours but the padde jack which is actually a studded leather armour, but with cloth instead of leather. (and is actually close to a gambeson in construction but filled with bits of steel sewn closely together.
breastplate is also fancy.
mail shirt also works.
Stats: roll 4d6v1 six times, arrange as fit. you are entitled to ONE reroll should you screw up. (roll everything again)
Most classes allowed (I'll tell ya if I don't like one)
musket, pistol and bombs (also smoke bombs) from DMG pg145
starting level 6

books allowed: all, but don't go wild on me here.
No munchkins allowed
if you want to play a monster or noncore race then ask me like a good little dog and maybe I show mercy.
3 players (I got one allready so you'll be four)
any and all alignments allowed
paladins can be any good alignment.
monks have no alignment restriction and full BAB.
Mostly urban adventuring.
not to high magic. no emperor tippy around but you have a wizard university and stuff.
Core deities only, your character is expected by society to worship the whole pantheon but you may choose a patron (clerics have only one god. and no ideal-worshipping) people worshipping non-core deites are heathens and must be killed in gruesome fashion.
Extra skill points: 10 points to use for proffesion, craft, knowledge or perform. you know, for RP.
backstories required. make em as long as you'd like (three lines long is fine)
The City states of Feransii (feran-si-ai) is the equalient of our italy in the 14-15 hundreds. The renaissance is all the rage these days, people are inventing stuff, getting more confidence and self respect, discovering new lands, potatoes, making beautiful art and finding new ways to kill each other. You are living in the great city state of Vinci, setting on the southwest coast of Feransii it is a center of trade, discovery and culture, and as such there are many many family-run merchant houses around and many scoundrels as well...
You! You there! Yes, you. you look like you could handle yourself in a brawl... The family of Segreta could use some help... are you unemployed? good! come with me...
And so you were dragged from your drink/whore/rubber duck/party and to the rich manor of the Segreta family. There are alot of money to be had from these family intrigues... and a possible horrible death, but hey...COIN!
