The Campaign Builder's Guild

What are the deities like in Shattered Kingdoms? Walk the earth? Nonexistent? Unimportant in daily life? Important?

I haven't gotten around to fleshing out the religion aspect of the world yet (i want to get the actual world up and running first). So for now just use the standard pantheon.

Drunken Master: *grabs pseudodragon* ON GUARD you fie *hic* nd

ok, when I said our characters could have a relation, this is NOT what I had in mind.

Utterly ridiculous, my ac is 21, I'm tiny, I've got a hide modifier of 25, and a flight speed. I guess I'm going to be the mobile lookout.

Oh yeah, and ring of sustenance; I only sleep 2 hours!


damnit. MittenNinja, I need to ask another question... theres this item in the Magic item compendium that allows you to speak and understand one language. I was curious; if I have that item, would it allow me to speak (only that one language, naturally)?

Whats the item called?

Pearl of Speech, page 118

Yea, looks like it would.

cool.

I'll be back on friday, at which point I will post out my stats.

ha, an hour early!

Character Background and Description
Stris's first year is something he doesn't talk much about. The main details are that he was hatched as the pet of an adventurer of some wealth and infamy, and he acted as the man's companion and accomplice. Oddly enough, Stris outlived his master, and has been wandering about in search of someone to replace him. His small wealth and several magic items are supposedly gifts from his former master.

[/spoiler]

I cant do any real work because I'm at a programming camp learning C++, J#, and C# for another week. As I type I'm at a computer lab in UCLA watching "Labyrinth". You know, the one with David Bowie....so ridiculous. Not to drag it off topic, but I finally made my first working not very tiny program! Its a very basic thing, choosing between text blackjack and ASCII horse race.

oh yeah. I tried to keep my description to an outline. If you get an idea that would require me to tweak it, that's exactly what I had in mind.

Im back for the weekend so I'll have my character up sometime soon.

Couple of questions stargate. (feel free to respond via PM if you don't want eveyrone to know)
1.) Are you from Xian? If not, where are you originally from?
2.) Was your relationship with your past master pleasant? Or more rocky?
3.) How did your past master die?
4.) What reasons do you have for seeking out a new master as opposed to striking out on your own?

Man, that's what I get for trying to do just an outline. I am not an outline man.

Quote from: MittenNinjaCouple of questions stargate. (feel free to respond via PM if you don't want eveyrone to know)
1.) Are you from Xian? If not, where are you originally from?

Doesn't really matter. Feel free to select the most appropriate spot based on the Pm would will be getting.

Quote from: MittenNinja2.) Was your relationship with your past master pleasant? Or more rocky?

Stris speaks of his former master as though he was a close and dear friend. Nothing he says disputes this.

Quote from: MittenNinja3.) How did your past master die?

PM

Quote from: MittenNinja4.) What reasons do you have for seeking out a new master as opposed to striking out on your own?

I should have been more clear. By Master I meant that he technically owned Stris, and was responsible for his antics and such. The relationship was never like a master, but it was the closest word I could think of. Stris is striking out on his own in the sense that his next traveling companion wouldn't own him.

I'll see if I can't reword that.

Character Background and Description:
Kevkas was born and raised in the countryside, on his family's farm. He had just turned 11 when he was sent away from the farm to go to a school of war to learn how to be a warrior. After 4 months at the school, his family was killed by raiders. He left the school and trained with an old wizard who specialized in trickery. He has been hunted by the law ever since he hunted down and killed each member of the raiding party that killed his family.
[/spoiler]

One problem with your background yogurt. There really isn't any countryside to speak of because of the abyssal wars just ending. Small communities have just only recently begun to spring up now that the fiends have been pushed back to the Demonscar. So you pretty much have to either have been raised in the wilderness (most likely by druids/rangers) or from one of the ten pillar cities.
