That you, being whatever class or race you may be...a halfling wizard..or mayhaps a dwarven bard...might even be a half-orc paladin. Regardless...your walking through an elven city..the name doesn't matter. You pass small shops, constructed of such marvelous wood and stone. The architecture of your surrondings astound you! This is unfortunate as you don't see the well dressed elvish gentleman grab you and drag you into an ally. In said ally, more well dressed elves stand about. One, wearing a decroative hat and a bunch of rings on his fingers. Your wits kick in and you realize you've been taken aside by one of the most dangerous mobsters: Enialis Himo Vinchenzo. Beside him, his infamous guard Toni the Gut Silverleaf.

Or...

Your walking walking across the Anaduril bridge, when you happen across a small group of undead. One walks over towards you, in a bit of a shamble and extends a hand "Good day sir...would you mind helping me find Patty McLear's Palace of Pleasure? I'm...setting up a party.."

Or...

Your trecking through the dungeon..having slain countless enemies prior to get the clues..to find said dungeon. As you walk around...you find it rather baren. And then..a corpse! An orcish corpse..you run faster, following the trail of dead bodies to find the cadaver of the orcish cheiftan you were send to kill. Damn..another party got to it before you!

If you find this amusing, then I may have something for you.

"Antaria: The Age of (Repetative) Ages"

My new campaign. Using the 3rd edition rules, a slew of ironic and humourous NPCs, a barage of head ache inducing plot twists and jokes, a gaggle of little D&D and RPG jokes and gags, I have created what I like to consider, a comedic campaign. If your interested, go ahead and post here or send me a PM. I'm leaving this open for 4-6 players and I know Murdoc is in. I've spent the past year observing DMs and reading soft porn novels. The latter has nothing to do with said campaign. Just a little nasty detail.

Okay, I've yakked enough. If enough people are interested, I will post some new things about characters.

Oh...as for wizards, I have new spells on the way, so keep an eye out.

I'll keep an eye out. I'll even lop a hand off if I have to. But there's no way in Hadies that I'm doing what it takes to try out that so-called "Head of Vecna".

As for the game itself, it sounds fun. However, my work hours kinda make it very unlikely I could get into such a thing.

I do wish you the best of luck with it though.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

I am so very glad you asked. I am still working hard on the campaign, and as I do, I will be editing character classes. I would prefer you only use the PHB. I will allow zombies as a player class (I will hand out special rules for that). if you have an idea for a race, present it to me, and I will check it out. Otherwise, do not roll a character up until I give out the racial abilites.

The new undead race:

Corpanus

+1 to Int
+1 to Wis
+2 to Con
-2 to Dex
-2 to Chr


Personality: These people, after death, are afflicted with something. Something that causes them to rise, yet not hunger flesh. While their blood does not run, nor do they breath, they can think and speak and walk. They are the Corpanus and a race some loath and others embrace.

Physical description: Tall or short, fat or skinny. Whatever they were in their prior life, retaining any wounds that may have caused death. These wounds tend to be hidden under mack-up or stiched up and left to be seen, unless under clothing. They are sometimes sullen faced, other times not, but always pale or blue.

Relations: The Corapnus are widely excepted by people, but certain small communities shun the. Specifcally barbaric tribes and smaller communities of any race.

Alignment: Varies just as with race. Although some tend to lean towards lawful aligments. You can't get in a lot of trouble on the right side of the law..

Corapanus Lands: The Corpanus indeed have there own nation, with a democracy instead of a monoarchy. Because of said government, some living races have come to live with the Corpanus.

Religion: Any religion. All depends on their past history.

Language: Same goes here. If you were a halfing and were afflicted with Corpanus.

Names: see above.

Racial traits (Keep in mind, racial traits such as the following: immunties, abilities and vision modifiers remain):

  • +1 int, +1 wis, +2 con, -2 dex -2 chr
  • Immunity to all undead dismissing spells. They might be dead, but they are a special type (this concerns apart of the history of the campaign world and PC's are not allowed to know except if found out during an adventure or the like. Hence, no PC or NPC knows..well..certain NPCs, but none of the Corpanus)
  • Immunity to gases, poisons, dieseases and staying under water
  • If not kept clean, a PC might contract a few bugs which will decrease their CON over time, which will NOT come back (except by magical means) and have an immediate -4 penatly to attempting swimming and a -2 to running.
  • Corpanus get a +2 on Spot and Search as they are now able to survive without food and water and tend to be patient. If PC's play a Corpanus as a jumpy and impatient person, the bonus will be taken away if DM sees fit for RPing purposes.
  • Ranged and piercing do only half damage (except for the javelin, or spears) while slashing does normal damage.

    Life span: A Corpanus will survive as a normal person. Elvish Corpanus will survive for a long time, about 700 years as a living elf would, while Human Corpanus would sruvive 60-80.

    Also, rules I am implementing for Combat:

    No attack bonuses FOR SIZE. Ignore them. All other bonuses however, remain.

    Also, if you strike a critical blow the maximum ammount of times you can, one after another, a roll vs. fortitude or will (I've yet to decide to be honest) will be mad to see if the character is decreased to 0 HP.

    Also, at 0HP, a character will go up to -10 points. If not saved before then, the person dies.

    Concerning Death:

    At a PC's death, a roll will be made to see if the player becomes Corpanus.

    Thanks.

    Corpanus ractial traits revised again, please read:

    >> +1 int, +1 wis, +2 con, -2 dex -2 chr
    >> resistant to turning: because Corpanus differ in their nature from most simple undead, they are not affected in the same way by spells that turn or control undead. a Corpanus may be forced to retreat by a Turn Undead spell, but cannot be dispelled by it. they are unaffected by Control Undead spells.
    >> immunity to poisons, gasses, and diseases. Corpanus are already dead. they have no need to breathe, and can survive without a breathable atmosphere, even underwater.
    >> rotting flesh: if a Corpanus fails to maintain her hygiene, she will contract parasites which will slowly eat away at her CON. for every week a Corpanus fails to bathe, she loses one point of CON, which cannot be regained by normal means.
    >> Corpanus get a +2 on Spot and Search as they are now able to survive without food and water and tend to be patient. If PC's play a Corpanus as a jumpy and impatient person, the bonus will be taken away if DM sees fit for RPing purposes.
    >> Most piercing weapons deal only 1/2 damage to Corpanus. The exception is the javelin, which is heavier and considered a slashing weapon for purposes of measuring injury to the Corpanus.
    >> Varied origins: Corpanus originate from various living species. they retain the bonuses or penalties to armor class and carrying capacity associated with their former race.

    Okay, here are the edits for races, so you can start making your characters:

  • Dwarves start off with a bank account (you'll understand when you play..and no..it's not like the EQ bank, where you stuff is everywhere)
  • Dwarves will now recieve a -2 to their CON for the day if they eat any meat that is not considered "kosher" to dwarven society (If your a dwarf, PM and I'll tell you what is)

  • Gnomes now may achieve the skill "Construct" which is a class skill to wizards and rogues. Gnomes start with an inate ability with consturctions and hence, start with 2 points in it.
  • Gnomes that have the above skill, must have extremely long names that actually detail their lives. They will also have a shortened version so that people can talk to them normally. Ex. "Johan-The-Son-of-Pertanin-The-Gnome-Who-Once-Inventied-A-Steam-Powered-Horse-Shoe-Remover-That-Failed-The-First-few-Times-But-Works-Now-And-Now-He-Helps-His-Father-With-His-Tinker -While-Working-On-His-Magntic-Suit-Of-Armor" this would be a rather young man. (Read: tinker gnomes guys. Think gnomes)

  • Elves have a 30% of mob relations via family or the like. They may request a favor from them. This acts as a summon except that the elf must specify the place he needs them and when. A group of 2d4 elven "fighters" will appear and assist until combat ends.
  • Each time above ability is used, the mob requires a favor. Each three times the summon is used, the difficulty of the favor increases.

    Don't just go for madness folks. I'm getting alot of PMs and the like about "My character is nuts" or "my character eat a bad pea once".

    Allow me to say that the humour in this campaign is not always slapstick and sometimes it's not the characters traits or flaws. Read some DiscWorld, then look at Forgotten Realsm, then read the Hobbit, then watch some cartoons, then read A Midnight Summers Dream and then, you have the campaign.

    Personally, I would give a moment of thought before counting out insane characters altogether. While I wouldn't count on just anyone to play an insane mage, there are a few people for whom it would be a perfect fit. In particular, Arttemis and Ragabash come to mind. Both are notoriously talented with humorous characters.

    Don't worry if someone decides to play a wizard. The party will have up to 6 PCs as you said, plus any NPCs, which leaves room for two people to play one class, so long as the party overall manages to round out.
