D and D 3.5e

I am looking for a couple of D and D games to play in. I have two characters I want to try out. Both a paladin and a mage of some kind. I am active on this site and am running my own game. I will even do a later d and d edition if I can get a little bit of info on how it's different from 3.5.

At any rate if you have something for me I'd love to float my character concept by you.

4e and 5e are very different from 3.x, different enough that I do not consider them even related systems, especially 4e.

Pathfinder though is very similar.

All that said, how tied are you to dnd specifically, and why, if I may ask? Do you just want to not learn a brand new system, or is it the settings, or something else?

I like dnd it's what I know. I just don't feel like learning anything new right now. I don't have the motivation.

Well, some key differences between editions.

Fifth edition aims to keep numbers under control and to be less reliant in the letter of the rules.

Important changes:

- There is a single progression for attacks, saves and skills, if you are proficient with a weapon, spell, skill or saving throw you add this bonus.
- There is a saving throw for each ability score
- All main spellcasters share the same spell progression and can cast freely from spells prepared. Some classes cannot prepare spells only know a limited number of them
- Feats are optional, You can swap a feat for an ability score improvement. These are determined by class level.
- Paladin is a "half caster", they cast spells from second level onwards. They spend spell slots to smite.

This are the basic Rules

This is the SRD which has all the classes and only one subclass per class.

If after reading this, you want to play your paladin in 5e I could use one in my game.(Warning Mature))

I'd be willing to run a game in 3.5, but we'll need to find some players and hammer out what everyone is looking to play.

I'd get in on a 3.5 and can play basically anything so if this person wants to play a 3.5 paladin I can play something that will fit in with them
or something that can be in opposition to the lawful aspect but in keeping with the good aspect if you want someone who has similar goals but a totally different way of doing things

whatever you guys want to see more :O)

Well alright, I'd be interested in running something, but I'd need to know what people would be interested in seeing played out.

I'd be interested in playing in this game also. I'm looking for a mid-level game. I'm open to Homebrew or plot driven games. Also I would like a small party of bout 4 -5 players.

for me there was a group in one of the dnd books I saw that was about enforcing the rules of warefare, there were L/N L/G and L/E members of this 'Tribunal' lets say because I don't have the book handy and they would make sure the laws of war were followed

obviously a Paladin would be good for that and I could play an anitpaladin type Lawful/Evil but with his code of honor or twisted Chivalry which would be interesting to have a L/G Paladin and a L/E I know that I have read Paladins can't 'associate' with Evil but I also know that it would be a great story potentially

it's even possible for chaotic alignments to be involved as merc types to help us enforce the will of the Tribunal, I have always wanted to play such a game!

If that helps and interests all concerned

Still trying to figure out an angle.

So what I'm seeing is you want some sort of a military game?

the angle would be that we are all part of one group set to make sure certain rules of warfare are followed

it is sort of a military style group but it's more like inquisitors/UN inspectors if that makes sense but of course we would have a military arm to help enforce punishments on and stop violators

to me it was an idea that had always been interesting and I think it'd be perfect for a group that is just not sure how to come together
anyone with lawful in their alignment would be interested as the group is overall a lawful/neutral sort of view and anyone neutral or chaotic could be involved as basic merc work...

even tho I laid out what I saw as the most interesting aspect the group would also be likely interested in stopping a savage hoard from expanding their territory as savage hoardes are not known for following rules of warfare etc

we could also play envoy's to a kingdom that recently overthrew the previous rulers thus throwing out their agreement with 'the accord' etc

I myself would be very interested in playing a sort of 'antipaladin' which would be interesting for the guy wanting to play the paladin, the characters could play off of each other

The problem I see with this take is that for that, you need a common agreement about rules of war, something not likely in a world where the struggle between Chaos and Order is as hard as between Good and Evil. The Geneva Conventions is something relatively new in our world and even if they exist in D&D, the lawful evil gods would find the way through the fine letters of the convention to do as they please.

I have to agree with kark2, especially as I don't know which group you're talking about so I can't research specifics.

The OP wants to play a paladin, and is being very patient with me especially and everyone in general while I hammer down what people want. So since a formed idea isn't taking shape immediately:

Option 1) Dungeons

Option 2) Politics

Option 3) Wilderness exploring

Option 4) Military

Option 5) overarching struggle against central evil

Let me know the mix everyone wants, and when it comes to making a game we can hammer specifics there that can't be talked about here
