Dungeons & Dragons 3.5

I am looking for a change to play D&D 3.5, i own the Premium Player's Handbook but never got the chance to actually play the game.

I don't care about the setting, i just want to play the game!

Sadly, I'm not opening my doors to the DMing world on rpol just yet.  But would love to add in on the party.

In reply to DiegoD89 (msg # 1):

I haven't DMed on RPoL for almost two years. I haven't seen any real interest in D&D Edition 3.5.

Two former players have asked me to start another game, some time back. Been busy with table top gaming this past year, but that could change.

If I did it, however, I do have a couple of House Rules and "but the book says" isn't going to fly as an argument. Soo . . . think about it.

Hi, thank you for replying!

Well, if your game it's heavy house ruled it would change too much the system i want to play. it all depends on what house rules you are talking about.

"Heavy house ruled?" LOL

No. Just a few things. The biggest "rule" applies to Paladins. Everything else is fairly minor. None of my past players ever had a problem with them. Here's the single biggest one.

"Paladins: Paladins have the ability to Lay on Hands and can Cure Light Wounds. Paladins do not gain their powers from any mortal king, or secular ruler; they gain these powers and abilities from the God/Goddess they serve. Thus, Paladins are "knights" of the Church and not the Secular Authority.

Paladins do not swear fealty to any King or Nobleman, they answer to the High Priest and/or other ranking Church Officials of their particular faith. Paladins are not under obligation to "uphold the law of the land," that's the duty of a secular Knight.

Paladins are required to uphold the "laws" of the God/Goddess they serve; the tenants of their faith.  All Paladins are Lawful, because all Paladins follow the laws of their God/Goddess, not the laws of a mortal ruler; an "evil" Deity will have "duties" that are the complete opposite of the "duties" which a "good" Deity will require.

To lay people (commoners) a Paladin is a Paladin; though Paladins that serve "evil" Gods might be called an anti-Paladin. Other titles, or nomenclatures, such as Crusader, Inquisitor, Blackguard, et al, are designations bestowed upon Paladins by their individual Church. Such titles might not be known among – or used by – the common people. Examples of these various nomenclatures can be found in Dungeon Magazine #104.

In addition, Paladins have no problem passing judgement on their God's "enemies" and carrying out Summery Executions, or "frontier justice." They neither have, nor feel, a need to involve Secular Authority.

Note: Carrying out such an execution in the middle of the Green Dragon Inn -- for example -- could cause considerable problems. Paladins are not stupid and do not act foolishly in such situations."

If enough people are interested, I'll start a game.

Cool, seems reasonable to me too but can we limit the number of players? from experience, i know that 4 to 5 is a good number and anything beyond that will just bog down the game and leave someone unattended.

I would agree. I find that 6 at most is what a game on here can handel before getting bogged down. Unless ofcourse you run more than one group

In real life, i played with a group of 8 players, but that just doesn't work well in play by post. eventually, someone will be disappointed.

Well, the interest is there, so . . . I'll run one for you guys.

Know this . . . I leave no one "behind." Meaning?

Meaning you had better have a Cleric, Mage, Fighter and Thief, or you're going to find somethings very hard to do. LOL

Every character class -- whatever you, the player, want to play -- will have some part of the game specific to him. The group will "need" that character, at some point. I will tailor the game that way.

So cover those basics and you'll have no problems. I like my players to play the character and class that they want to play. These basics just make some things easier for the group, but they are not a requirement on my part.

A party of six is fine, if that's all you guys want. If more are interested, I'll run two groups in separate threads.

And I'd be interested in hearing Lord_Sanduzun's rule for Assassins. LOL

And remember this about that Paladin rule: It doesn't mean that "you" can't chase down the murderer, it simply means that the Paladin is not obligated to chase down the murderer. The Paladin doesn't serve the "Baron."

You guys are welcome to r-mail me as we get this game running.
