- HALFLINGS will always be chaotic evil, except for sorcerers. These gain an

                               grant any benefits, but should be taken into
                               account.
  Massochist:                  Has to inflict pain on himself.

                               of the massochist in a single round, gain a +1
                               circumstance bonus on attack, damage, skill
                               checks and saving throws on the next round.

  Favored Class:               Barbarian.
  Level adjustment:            +0.

  CLASSES:

- Clerics: Can not cast healing spells or choose the healing domain.
- Clerics: Always believe in a deity, neve a source.
- Psionics: I will limit the maximum number of psionics in this campaign to one.
  psionics will follow special rules wich will be explained to the character
  that wants to play one. Starting out as another class will prevent you from
  ever choosing a psionic class.

  MULTI-CLASSING:

- No penalty to XP fo multy-classing.
- Maximum of 4 different classes up to level 20. Template counts as a class for
  this purpose. So, this isn't an option:
  Barbarian 4, Bard 2, Rogue 3, Sorcerer 1, Dragon Disciple 1.
  After you've reached level 20.... Well, we'll see about that.
- BAB en Saves progression: Partial bonusses: 1/2, 3/4 or 1 point per level
  BAB en Save progression: Only first class will give you the initial +2 bonus
  on your good save. If a later class allows a different good save then your
  first class, you may add that +2 initial bonus (don't forget you get 2.5
  points in your good save at level 1

  SKILLS:

- Knowledge: Nature en Knowledge: Religion may use Wisdom bonus
- Spellcraft may use Wisdom when your spells depend on your Wisdom score.
- Spellcraft may use Charisma when your spells depend on your Charisma score.
- Psionic and Magic Skills: Psionic skills can be used instead of the same magic
  skill, but suffer a -4 penalty when doing so.
  Magic skills can be used instead of the same magic skill, but suffer a -4
  penalty when doing so.
- Intimidate can make use of your Strentgh score.

  Feats:

- Dodge: Always grants a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class.
- Greenbound Summoning: BANNED!

  Equipment:

- Mone has a weight! It is 100 coins for 1 lbs!

  COMBAT:

- Additional Weapons:

  Exotic Two-Handed Melee Weapon:
  Name            Cost    Dmg (S)  Dmg (M)    Crit  Range Inc  Weight  Type
  Massacre Blade  100 gp  1d8/1d8  1d10/1d10  x2    —          18 lb.  Slashing*
  *Double Weapon

  SPELLS:

- Healing spells only work for druids worshipping a Source, rangers worshipping
  a Source, bards, and paladins who do not worship a God
- Minor Mend Tissue and Bones, Light Mend Tissue and Bones, Moderate Mend
  Tissue and Bones, Serious Mend Tissue and Bones, Critical Mend Tissue and
  Bones, Full Mend Tissue and Bones and the like replace healing spells for
  clerics, though there is no specific domain to which they belong. These CAN be
  used by Clerics, Rangers worshipping a God, druids worshipping a God and
  paladins worshipping a God. They act like a cure spell but the recipient must
  make a fortitude save ( DC 15 + Spelllevel) or be shaken for a couple of days
  equalling the number by which you missed the save divided by two.
- Darkness: Doesnt give Shadowy Illumination but gives 20% concealment...
  Otherwise it would illuminate the dark.

  DEATH:

- Death occurs at -10, - 1/2 HD, - Con Mod, - Toughness feat.

  So, a warrior with 4 HD, a con of 14 and the toughness feat would die at -10
  -2 -2 -3 = -17
