I'm exploring levels, books allowed, racial HD, gestalt or not, and other factor here. Gestalt is very likely, but not definite. I'm only allowing non-
dread necromancer characters. My friend is playing a dread necromancer and he wants that to be his thing. I'd also like to limit one player per PrC and non-core classes. That is negotiable.
We can, and should, discuss the following here:
- Preferred Classes
- Gestalt or not
- Books allowed or not
- Racial HD
- Point Buy pool, or dice, or latter with former safety.
- Starting Level
- Starting Wealth
- Some for fixtures of the city
- Some devoted to consumables, including
- Scrolls
- Epic Spells
- Potions (can be up to 9th since an NPC is an Alchemist class from a Faerun book)
- Spell Components
- Wands
- Staves
- Charms
- Oils and Salves
- Elixirs
- Alchemical supplies (though this will be largely for pitiful threats, and giving to followers).
- Some for permanent magic items
- A tiny bit for mundane gear carried (so not structures) or mounts
- HP resolution (same applies to monsters)
- Intelligence finalizing skills vs incremental intelligence affecting skills
Aspects not up for discussion are as follows:
- Banned Sources:
- Tome of Battle
- Magic of Incarnum
- 3rd party books other than Immortals Handbook
- Web only non-pdfs, even if canon
- KoK
- Banned Content
- Rainbow Servant combination with Warmage type, or any all access ports, that essentially hack into all preparation spells spontaneously. Exceptions are Wish, Miracle and Any Spell power
- Infinite combinations
- Infinite multipliers
- Stacking of magic items with unnamed bonuses that create a power gap, such as Orange Ioun Stones.
- Anything that even implies Prestidigtattion can be used in combat beyond pinnache.
