You have found a letter sealed with the insignia of the Forsaken Executors.
I will make this brief. Your recent exploits have caught the eyes of Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, who has tasked me with hiring a small team to investigate reports of encroaching scourge armies. Our scouts have found evidence that the Cult of the Damned may be involved and taking a small army towards Brill. If that’s the case, the Scarlet Crusade will likely be attracted to their presence and continue their onslaught into our own settlements. Meet me at the crossroads outside of Brill on the next day of the new moon. You will be paid 100 gold pieces if you succeed, with a chance of further reward if the Cult has larger plans.
Executor Zygand”
To anyone who accepts this quest, please provide a character story indicating the exploits that caught Sylvanas’ attention, and where you found or received the letter.
This will be a campaign set in the Warcraft universe, specifically during the timeline when World of Warcraft was first released. It will be a horde campaign starting with first level characters.
The link to the pdf files can be found . They must be downloaded, as they cannot be viewed in the browser for some reason (I tried converting them to Google Docs format but it still wasn't working). Character creation in the book features the 4d6 method of ability score development, but if you would prefer I would be fine with using the point buy system with 20 available points, as it is easier to verify than dice rolls:
7: –4
8: –2
9: –1
10: 0
11: 1
12: 2
13: 3
14: 5
15: 7
16: 10
17: 13
18: 17
I am fine with all classes and player races from any of the books, but I would prefer avoiding races from the monster guide (some are in the other books as player races which is fine), but if a good story is provided for any unconventional characters (a human working with Royal Apothecary Society, a gnoll smart enough to be a tinker etc) I will be glad to consider it.
I generally check the forums 3 times a day - morning -> afternoon -> night, sometimes more, sometimes less, but always once a day. I would like players that can post at least once a day as well, and will inform me if they will be unable to post for some time. Unless informed, I will give players a few days to post before replacing, and in the meantime they will be dmPC'd after a 24 hour absence.
Combat will be handled based on the selected party's preference, as I am fine with pure narrative or providing maps.
Seeing as WoW is driven by combat, there will be a fair amount of it, but I am huge fan of the story and lore, so that will play a major factor in the campaign.
I will close recruitment Friday night (Nov. 1) so that I have the weekend to select the part of five.
Gaaa, i want to provide stuff right now, but i dont have the time at this very moment to go through the process of making a character. I guess im saying this now to let you know im still interested
Sidenote: if you want to do the diceroll option, paizo.com comes with dicerolls that everyone can see..
Ex:
Just follow that format {Dice="What it is} "The type of die" + "Modifier" {/Dice "Close function"}
Haha no worries, you've got plenty of time. I knew about the dice roller, I always just get tripped up when checking peoples stat blocks afterwards and have to remember if they rolled or did point buy. It's not an issue for me, I just thought I'd provide the option.
I own several of the books including the core book. Aside from Horde Player's Guide, is there any others I must have? Prolly download them all, just want to see if there's anything I need.
It all just depends on how much extra material you want for your character. A lot of the other books like dark factions contain class variants, feats and new races. Other than that the core book and the horde guide should be plenty.
Also,
Will you be using the PF updates to things like skills, feats(including progression), and hit dice?
I'm guessing classes, spells, PrCs, etc will stick with the WoW versions.
I think just for sake of keeping confusion to a minimum in regards to updated and converting things, I will just use the books as they are.
Starting Gold is also the average or can be rolled.
Dotting for interest! And... Gnolls! Forsaken, Gnolls, Night Elves. Hmmm. Too many fantastically dread options...
I must be honest, as I said before in the interest thread I have no familiarity with Azeroth though I do have the Campaign setting stuff - will this be an issue for fellow players or you Hand of Fate? I'm a quick study...
I'd be interested as long as we have the option of either 20 point buy OR 4d6. I despise the point buy as it it never, ever comes close to what I can roll with dice and I like the randomness of it. I've also been playing wow for 5+ years so I know the world. I would be interested in playing magic addicted blood elf.
@Ocean - That will not be a problem at all, in fact I think it would great to see the reactions and responses of a "virgin" in this kind of setting. I love sharing my love with the story to everyone, so I hope you can get that.
@Shady - Dice are certainly an option. I know many people opt for it and I don't want to hold them back =).
Still trying to nail down a concept/character. Too many ideas right now, lol
It seems the Gods have moved against me. If you would like the link, just PM me.
Female Forsaken (Elf) Warrior.
Given my naiveté regarding WoW it seems like a good way to be uninformed - having been dead for a long time and then risen up before being released from the Lich King's grasp.
@The Hand of Fate:
Two questions:
* Can Forsaken be Turned? As undead, I'm assuming yes.
* Any chance I could be a Night Elf Forsaken? The Night Elves "feral grace"/imagery really appeals, and I'd even consider taking the Night Elf stat modifiers (+2 Spirit, -2 Cha) rather than the vanilla Forsaken (+2 Str, -2 Agility).
I'm sure there may be a canon reason why only High Elves and Humans are Forsaken as of now, but there might be a good reason somewhere in the campaign... (plothooks!?!?!)

Not sure if that helpls as I'm not au fait with the setting.

I think I'll definitely submit an application to this. I was a long-time player, and I am very refined and knowledgeable about the setting.
I believe I'm sorely tempted to play a dark-hearted mercenary, but I've always had a fondness for the quel'dorei. I might change it up to a troll scout, though. We'll see! Sleep for now, back in eight hours!
The only reason high elves and humans were affected at this point is because of who was in the wake of the plague. It is even in the rpg that there is a dwarf forsaken who works within the Royal Apothecary Society, so it is certainly possible that as a night elf, you were in the wake of the plague. Why you would be in Lordaeron, idk, but I'm sure you could come up with a story.
As for the stats, I would keep to the forsaken ability scores simply because they reflect the undead state and not so much the character's previous abilities.
@Hands of Fate So, i just recently grabbed the Manuel of Monsters (since paizo killed your link, i wont send you the one i found, but i googled "wow rpg manual of monsters")
Question: Would you be ok with me making a forest troll?
Hmmm, only because they start exceedingly strong and count as a level higher, I am inclined to say no. I don't enjoy putting limitations on character creation, but +6 str and +6 con is pretty intense, as well as being large.
Aw ok, understandable though
