Looking for a group to play a 3.5 game where you have been charged with horrible crimes(up to you if you actually have committed crimes before, but this is not one of them) and sent to an island far out in the ocean as a death sentence. You will have all your gear and do not have to stay together as a group, though it is advised. You will eventually be able to get off the island(thus proving your innocence since only the innocent get off the island). 32 point buy, 7th level, 19,000 starting gold.

Here is what you can use. Run stuff by me first, and I'll look it over. No psions though, sorry.

Material from Complete Arcane/Divine/Warrior/Psionic is also usable.


How many class levels would I be authorized to take if I took Minotaur as my race? Considering the 6 HD already included, I'd guess, one?

Shadow Lodge

The minotaur has six hit dice and a +2 level adjustment, which you would have to be ECL 8 to play one and have the Xp of a 9th level character to have even one class level.


Sweet. Would love to join. Do we roll HP or do we get max or MAX/2 +1? How much detail do you want on the background/personality/appearance

Shadow Lodge

Go with Max hp, you may need it...


is Unearthed Arcana included (from d20srd.org)?

Only the parts actually on the site.


Meh, I'll just play a Tiefling,then... 6 class levels, I believe.


Ok, can I play a Human Domain Wizard (Transmutation)?

Would just like to confirm before I start character creation.

I'd be interested in playing a Dwarven Battlerager (Barbarian) if you still have room available. Is this set in any known world or is there any background info you could give us for help with backgrounds?

While I don't actually have a name for it yet, this is a homebrew world. As for backgrounds, just be sure to be accused of a horrible crime you didn't commit. You can still have commited crimes(and thus be evil if you wish). Looking at you backgrounds can give me a general feel of how the characters will act when the first set foot on the island, but I have a feeling that they will change as they try to survive...

You will all be on one boat at let go at the same place, a beautiful cove with about 45ft of sand between island jungle and the water. This is a big island. You may make a Knowledge(local) check to remember a bit about the island before you get there, and may choose to share what you know with your fellow prisoners. Or not.


Prison Island makes for a very cool premise.

How many PC's are you planning on stranding at the cove?

Shadow Lodge

About 4-5. If more people show up and want to play, I'll assign numbers secretly and roll to see who plays. Any not picked may stay on as replacements if they want, and will already be on the island if needed.


what's the deadline for character submission, dragonborn?

Dark Archive

Anymore space? I'd like to play a werewolf with character levels.

Or a drunken master.


Is a Tiefling Paladin OK?

Shadow Lodge

No deadline yet, werewolf is fine, and the tiefling paladin is fine.


Groovy. I have a human cleric of Trithereon that I played in a 2nd ed PbP that I'll just port up to 3E. I might have it done tonight maybe?

The one god who offers the Summoning Domain. He's a favorite.

Liberty's Edge

Any spots left?


Okay, got a character up with a background in my profile now. Let me know if there are any problems or if you need any more info.

A well made dwarf and a good background. I wonder what the others will have as their cimes...

Just to be sure you know, a werewolf(normal wolf, not dire) would have only 2-3 class levels

2(HD)+3(level adjustment, natural)=ECL5
2(HD)+2(level adjustment, afflicted)=ECL4


Ok so I've changed my mind (Playing wizard in another PBP). Can I rather play a Cleric Aasimar?

Racial Stats over here

Shadow Lodge

That is fine Opdigan.

I'd like to throw my hat in as a half-dragon barbarian. Very primal, probably (rightly) accused of ripping a man in half for making a crack about his parentage...

I don't have to take a god do I?

Also: What about teleport and fly. Easy ways to get off the island.

Is the island magically protected or patrolled?


Done. Please verify.

You do not have to have a god. Yes flying off the island by means of a fly spell could work.

Even knowledge(local) with a result of a rolled 1 result in the rumor of an ancient spell that keeps people from get off the island by certain magical means(a really big dimensional lock spell).

As far as any rumors go, there has never been any need for patrols, magical or otherwise.

Why a monk's belt? Even counting it with your armor and shield, you AC is a point off. You also do not have any feats listed. Everything else is okay.

** spoiler omitted **...

Both check out. But you only get to choose one.

A note to casters. Any material components you need must be bought, unless it qualifies for the benifit of Eschew materials and you hve the feat. You will be on an island, so I doubt there are any magic-user shops. ;)

You breathe in the fresh ocean air as you fly to your freedom...

*Flying*

You still do not see land.

*POOF*

the spell is over...

You fall into the ocean with your full plate mail. At least you got off the island!

And that is only if you get that far. And drowning will not be your biggest worry if you fall in he ocean...


Ok here is my Aasimar Cleric. I am still busy with the Items and the Spell's for the day, but the rest should be fine.

Lemme know!

Will post my pc today. Just need to get some paperwork out of the way.

I see a hook...

A vicious fighter, or just stubborn? It is not often you see 'viscious fighting' clerics with scores like that. You have sparked my interest.


In the interest of adding an arcane blaster to the group, I'll throw Jimpy into the mix. Picture the happy-go-lucky halfling wandering through a village, whistling a happy tune. Then the camera pulls back to reveal a village on fire, people screaming, running about while the clueless halfling merrily wanders through, watching the pretty sparks and embers fly...

A werewolf rogue appears to be a logical choice considering the class composition... unless another barbarian won't upset the group.

She might not be melee heavy or have rage, but she doesn't run from a fight. Quite potent with a bow.

Jimpy: If your a "HE" why is your picture a "SHE", or am I missing something?

Quick pic choices on a day that's been too long! Plus, D&D halflings got that David Bowie androgynous thing going on, right?


Yea, the face is very ambiguous. It's the collar and the alika.jpg that tilts me towards female though.

Shadow Lodge

I followed the link in Seiva's profile, but I can't veiw the character sheet.


The site isn't working right. won't let me look at it either, but at least I still have it open on an old tab. I'm busy typing it over to the character page.


Doesn't the monk's belt give the Monk's AC bonus as well? That is why my AC is 23.

Ah, I see the confusion!

D20 SRD wrote:

Belt, Monk’s

This simple rope belt, when wrapped around a character’s waist, confers great ability in unarmed combat. The wearer’s AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the belt lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk. This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.

You might be felled by this bit:

D20 SRD wrote:

AC Bonus (Ex)

When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, +3 at 15th, and +4 at 20th level).

These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.

In this case, the AC bonus would only apply when you were out of armor. It might not make sense to spend so much on something that only applies when you're out of your best defense.
